Non-carboxylic acid inhibitors of aldose reductase based on N-substituted thiazolidinedione derivatives. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 223:113630. [PMID: 34175538 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2021] [Revised: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
In search of dually active PPAR-modulators/aldose reductase (ALR2) inhibitors, 16 benzylidene thiazolidinedione derivatives, previously reported as partial PPARγ agonists, together with additional 18 structural congeners, were studied for aldose reductase inhibitory activity. While no compounds had dual property, our efforts led to the identification of promising inhibitors of ALR2. Eight compounds (11, 15-16, 20-24, 30) from the library of 33 compounds were identified as potent and selective inhibitors of ALR2. Compound 21 was the most effective and selective inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.95 ± 0.11 and 13.52 ± 0.81 μM against ALR2 and aldehyde reductase (ALR1) enzymes, respectively. Molecular docking and dynamics studies were performed to understand inhibitor-enzyme interactions at the molecular level that determine the potency and selectivity. Compound 21 was further subjected to in silico and in vitro studies to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile. Being less acidic (pKa = 9.8), the compound might have a superior plasma membrane permeability and reach the cytosolic ALR2. This fact together with excellent drug-likeness criteria points to improved bioavailability compared to the clinically used compound Epalrestat. The designed compounds represent a novel group of non-carboxylate inhibitors of aldose reductase with an improved physicochemical profile.

[PMID: 30604512 DOI: 10.1002/med.21561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2018] [Revised: 12/13/2018] [Accepted: 12/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors have made significant contributions and remain an indispensable approach of molecular and mechanistic diversity for the discovery of antineurodegenerative drugs. However, their usage has been hampered by nonselective and/or irreversible action which resulted in drawbacks like liver toxicity, cheese effect, and so forth. Hence, the search for selective MAO inhibitors (MAOIs) has become a substantial focus in current drug discovery. This review summarizes our current understanding on MAO-A/MAO-B including their structure, catalytic mechanism, and biological functions with emphases on the role of MAO-B as a potential therapeutic target for the development of medications treating neurodegenerative disorders. It also highlights the recent developments in the discovery of potential MAO-B inhibitors (MAO-BIs) belonging to diverse chemical scaffolds, arising from intensive chemical-mechanistic and computational studies documented during past 3 years (2015-2018), with emphases on their potency and selectivity. Importantly, readers will gain knowledge of various newly established MAO-BI scaffolds and their development potentials. The comprehensive information provided herein will hopefully accelerate ideas for designing novel selective MAO-BIs with superior activity profiles and critical discussions will inflict more caution in the decision-making process in the MAOIs discovery.

MEDCHEMCOMM 2018; 9:1164-1171. [PMID: 30109004 DOI: 10.1039/c8md00196k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2018] [Accepted: 06/06/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
A series of 2-methoxy-4-(5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenol (pyrazoline) derivatives (2-6) have been synthesized and tested for human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) inhibitory activity. The most active derivative (2) behaved as a competitive hMAO-A inhibitor, with an inhibition constant value of 0.08 μM and a strong hMAO-A selectivity (Ki(hMAO-B)/Ki(hMAO-A) > 1751). In addition, 2 exhibited little to no cytotoxic effects up to a 25 μM concentration and provided the best blood-brain barrier permeability among the derivatives synthesized. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that a chlorine substituent at the para-position of the phenyl ring in 2 enabled a π-π stacking interaction with Tyr407 and Tyr444 that resulted in the formation of an "aromatic sandwich" structure. Consequently, this tight-binding aromatic cage culminated in a dramatically reduced active site volume that is believed to be the origin of the observed selectivity between the hMAO-A and hMAO-B isozymes. Removal of the chlorine from 2 disrupted the favorable intermolecular interactions and resulted in a selectivity change towards hMAO-B.
