Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 6-chloro-quinolin-2-one derivatives as novel FXIa inhibitors.

A series of 6-chloro-quinolin-2-one derivatives were designed and synthesized as FXIa inhibitors by exploration of P1, P1 prime and P2 prime groups. Each compound was accessed for inhibitory effect on FXIa and some of them were evaluated in the clotting assay. 14c demonstrated excellent in-vitro potency (FXIa IC: 15 nM, 2 x aPTT: 6.

Fragment-Based Lead Generation of 5-Phenyl-1-pyrazole-3-carboxamide Derivatives as Leads for Potent Factor Xia Inhibitors.

FXIa is suggested as a major target for anticoagulant drug discovery because of reduced risk of bleeding. In this paper, we defined 5-phenyl-1-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as privileged fragments for FXIa inhibitors' lead discovery. After replacing the ()-3-(5-chloro-2-(1-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl)acrylamide moiety in compound with 5-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-pyrazole-3-carboxamide, we traveled from FXIa inhibitor to a scaffold that fused the privileged fragments into a pharmacophore for FXIa inhibitors.

Synthesis of a Novel Series of Amino Acid Prodrugs Based on Thienopyridine Scaffolds and Evaluation of Their Antiplatelet Activity.

The thienopyridines class of drugs used as P2Y receptor antagonists plays a vital role in antiplatelet therapy. To further optimized this compound class, we designed and synthesized a series of amino acid prodrugs of 2-hydroxytetrahydrothienopyridine. All compounds were then evaluated for their inhibitory effect on ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats and then ED and bleeding time of the most potent compounds were compared with commercial drugs.

Variant fatty acid-like molecules Conjugation, novel approaches for extending the stability of therapeutic peptides.

The multiple physiological properties of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) make it a promising drug candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, the in vivo half-life of GLP-1 is short due to rapid degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) and renal clearance. The poor stability of GLP-1 has significantly limited its clinical utility; however, many studies are focused on extending its stability.

Discovery of 6-deoxydapagliflozin as a highly potent sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Systematic mono-deoxylation of the four hydroxyl groups in the glucose moiety in dapagliflozin led to the discovery of 6-deoxydapagliflozin 1 as a more active sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor (IC50 = 0.67 nM against human SGLT2 (hSGLT2) vs 1.16 nM for dapagliflozin).
