Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of 2-piperazin-1-yl-quinazolines as platelet aggregation inhibitors and ligands of integrin αIIbβ3.

A series of 2-piperazin-1-yl-quinazolines were synthesized and evaluated for their antiaggregative activity. The synthesized small molecule compounds have potently inhibited platelet aggregation in vitro and blocked FITC-Fg binding to αIIbβ3 integrin in a suspension of washed human platelets. The key αIIbβ3 protein-ligand interactions were determined in docking experiments and some correlations have been observed between values of the affinity and docking scores.

Design, Virtual Screening, and Synthesis of Antagonists of αIIbβ3 as Antiplatelet Agents.

This article describes design, virtual screening, synthesis, and biological tests of novel αIIbβ3 antagonists, which inhibit platelet aggregation. Two types of αIIbβ3 antagonists were developed: those binding either closed or open form of the protein. At the first step, available experimental data were used to build QSAR models and ligand- and structure-based pharmacophore models and to select the most appropriate tool for ligand-to-protein docking.

Synthesis, biological evaluation, X-ray molecular structure and molecular docking studies of RGD mimetics containing 6-amino-2,3-dihydroisoindolin-1-one fragment as ligands of integrin αIIbβ₃.

A series of novel RGD mimetics containing phthalimidine fragment was designed and synthesized. Their antiaggregative activity determined by Born's method was shown to be due to inhibition of fibrinogen binding to αIIbβ₃. Molecular docking of RGD mimetics to αIIbβ₃ receptor showed the key interactions in this complex, and also some correlations have been observed between values of biological activity and docking scores.

RGD mimetics containing phthalimidine fragment as novel ligands of fibrinogen receptor.

The novel RGD mimetics with phthalimidine central fragment were synthesized with the use of 4-piperidine-4-yl-butyric, 4-piperidine-4-yl-benzoic, 4-piperazine-4-yl-benzoic and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-carboxylic acids as surrogates of Arg motif. The synthesized compounds potently inhibited platelet aggregation in vitro and blocked FITC-Fg binding to α(IIb)β(3) integrin in a suspension of washed human platelets. The key α(IIb)β(3) protein-ligand interactions were determined in docking experiments.

Derivatives of tetrahydroisoquinoline: synthesis and initial evaluation of novel non-peptide antagonists of the alpha(IIb)beta(3)-integrin.

The novel RGDF mimetics were synthesized with the use of 4-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-yl)amino-4-oxobutyric or 5-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-yl)amino-5-oxopentanoic acids as a surrogate of Arg-Gly motif. The synthesized compounds have demonstrated a high potency to inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro and to block FITC-Fg binding to alpha(IIb)beta(3) on washed human platelets.
