Novel c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase (JNK) Inhibitors with an 11-Indeno[1,2-]quinoxalin-11-one Scaffold.

c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) plays a central role in stress signaling pathways implicated in important pathological processes, including rheumatoid arthritis and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Therefore, inhibition of JNK is of interest for molecular targeted therapy to treat various diseases. We synthesized 13 derivatives of our reported JNK inhibitor 11-indeno[1,2-]quinoxalin-11-one oxime and evaluated their binding to the three JNK isoforms and their biological effects.

[Effects of diphenyl derivatives on electrophoretic mobility of murine T lymphocytes].

The early changes of electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of murine T lymphocytes induced by structural analogues of amixine-dihydrochloryde 4,4'-bis-[2(diethylamino)ethoxy]diphenyl (compound 1) and dihydrochloryde 2-methoxycarbonil-4,4'-bis-[2(diethylamino)ethoxy]diphenyl (compound 2) were studied by electrophoresis technique. During the interval 0-2 hours all compounds increased the absolute values of EPM in comparison with control. These changes were of the same kind--distinctions were quantitative.

[Interferonogenic activity of amixin analogs and diphenyl derivatives].

Properties of interferon productivity of several inducers of interferon, analogs of amixin, have been studied in vivo. It has been shown, that under the influence of injected agents the content of endogenic interferon in the blood serum of laboratory animals increased and their non-fractionated cells of the peripheral blood (splenocites and macrophages) synthesized alpha- and gamma-interferon.

[Biochemical mechanisms of realization of antiviral and interferon-inducing activity of amixine and its analogs].

Antiviral and interferon inducing activity of the amixine and its some derivatives, as well as their influence on the proteolytic enzymes activity, monooxygenase activity of the microsomal fraction, level of the lipids peroxidation were studied. Lack of correlation between antiviral and interferon inducing activity in the investigated series of compounds was found. Vice versa, the good correlation between interferon inducing activity and the elastase-like activities inhibition ability of the compounds was observed.
