Synthesis, Molecular Modeling and Biological Evaluation of Novel Trifluoromethyl Benzamides as Promising CETP Inhibitors.

Background: Hyperlipidemia is considered a major risk factor for the progress of atherosclerosis.

Objective: Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) facilitates the relocation of cholesterol esters from HDL to LDL. CETP inhibition produces higher HDL and lower LDL levels.

Design and Synthesis of 4-O-Podophyllotoxin Sulfamate Derivatives as Potential Cytotoxic Agents.

4-O-Podophyllotoxin sulfamate derivatives were prepared using the natural lignan podophyllotoxin. The prepared compounds were afforded by reacting O-sulfonyl chloride podophyllotoxin with ammonia or aminoaryl/heteroaryl motif. Biological evaluation was performed in human breast cancer (MCF7), ovarian cancer (A2780), colon adenocarcinoma (HT29), and normal lung fibroblast (MRC5) cell lines.

Phenanthridine Sulfonamide Derivatives as Potential DPP-IV Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder, characterized by hyperglycemia over a prolonged period, disturbance of fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism, resulting from defective insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors are relatively a new class of oral hypoglycemic agents that reduce the deterioration of gutderived endogenous incretin hormones secreted in response to food ingestion to stimulate the secretion of insulin from beta cells of the pancreas.

Objective: In this study, synthesis, characterization, and biological assessment of twelve novel phenanthridine sulfonamide derivatives 3a-3l as potential DPP-IV inhibitors were carried out.

Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Docking Studies of Sulfamoyl- Phenyl Acid Esters as Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV Inhibitors.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major worldwide health concern that has several serious complications including retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and macrovascular diseases.

Objective: Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors, gliptins, are a new class of antidiabetic agents that potentiate the action of incretins in decreasing the blood glucose levels.

Methods: In the present study, synthesis and characterization of a series of ten N4-sulfonamido-acrylic and phthalamic acid methyl esters (3a-e and 5a-e) were achieved.

Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling Study of Substituted Benzyl Benzamides as CETP Inhibitors.

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause for mortality and morbidity in the developed world; its risk is inversely related to the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Therefore, there is a great interest in developing new cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors capable of raising HDL as a novel approach for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Herein, the synthesis and characterization of ten benzyl benzamides 8a-j that aim at CETP inhibition was performed.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of benzylamino-methanone based cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors.

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a glycoprotein involved in transporting lipoprotein particles and neutral lipids between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) and therefore its a proper target for treating dyslipidemia and related disorders. Guided by our previously-reported pharmacophore and QSAR models for CETP inhibition, we synthesized and bioassayed a series of benzylamino-methanones. The most potent illustrated 30% CETP inhibition at 10 microM.
