Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand-mediated transcription factor playing key roles in glucose and lipid homeostasis, and PPARγ ligands possess therapeutic potential in these as well as other areas. In this study, a series of phenylthiazole acids have been synthesized and evaluated for agonistic activity by a convenient fluorescence polarization-based PPARγ ligand screening assay. Compound 4t, as a potential PPARγ agonist with half maximal effective concentration (EC50) 0.75±0.20 μM, exhibited in vitro potency comparable with a 0.83±0.14 μM of the positive control rosiglitazone. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations indicated that phenylthiazole acid 4t interacted with the amino acid residues of the active site of the PPARγ complex in a stable manner, consistent with the result of the in vitro ligand assay.

Transactivation response (TAR) RNA-binding protein 2 (TRBP) plays a critical role in microRNA (miRNA) biosynthesis, with aberrant expression linked to various cancers. Previously, we identified , a phenyloxazole derivative that disrupts the TRBP-Dicer interaction in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we optimized this scaffold and substituent, leading to the discovery of , a 2-phenylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid derivative with nanomolar inhibitory activity (EC = 0.

In this contribution we report the synthesis, characterization and anticancer activity of novel cyclometalated 4-phenylthiazole-derived ruthenium(II) (2a-e) and osmium(II) (3a-e) complexes. Formation and sufficient purity of the complexes were unambigiously confirmed by H-, C- and 2D-NMR techniques, X-ray diffractometry, HRMS and elemental analysis. The binding preferences of these cyclometalates to selected amino acids and to DNA models including G-quadruplex structures were analyzed.

The combination of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and autophagy inhibitor has been considered as a novel cancer therapeutic strategy. To find novel HDAC inhibitors that can inhibit autophagy, several new series of oxazole- and thiazole-based HDAC inhibitors were designed and synthesized by replacing the phenyl cap in SAHA with 5-phenyloxazoles and 5-phenylthiazoles. The representative oxazole derivative, compound 21, showed better enzymatic inhibitory activity than SAHA (vorinostat).

A series of 2-phenylthiazole analogues were designed and synthesized as potential histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors based on compound (an HDAC6/tubulin dual inhibitor discovered by us recently) and CAY10603 (a known HDAC6 inhibitor). Among them, compound was the most potent HDAC6 inhibitor with an IC of 31 nM and excellent HDAC6 selectivity (SI = 338 for HDAC6 over HDAC3). also displayed high antiproliferative activity against various cancer cell lines including the HDACi-resistant YCC3/7 gastric cancer cells (IC = 0.
