The reaction of the 4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylate 6 with pentaerythritol tribromide gave the 1,1-(2-methylenepropane-1,3-diyl)di(4-quinolone-3-carboxylate) 11, whose reaction with bromine afforded the 1,1-(2-bromo-2-bromomethylpropane-1,3-diyl)di(4-quinolone-3-carboxylate) 12. Compound 12 was transformed into the (Z)-1,1-(2-acetoxymethylpropene-1,3-diyl)di(4-quinolone-3-carboxylate) 13 or (E)-1,1-[2-(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)propene-1,3-diyl]di(4-quinolone-3-carboxylate) 14. Hydrolysis of the dimer (Z)-13 or (E)-14 with potassium hydroxide provided the (E)-1,1-(2-hydroxymethylpropene-1,3-diyl)di(4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid) 15 or (Z)-1,1-[2-(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)propene-1,3-diyl]di(4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid) 16, respectively. The nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) spectral data supported that those hydrolysis resulted in the geometrical conversion of (Z)-13 into (E)-15 or (E)-14 into (Z)-16.

Each year in the United States, at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of these infections (Threat report 2013). Vancomycin is an FDA approved antibiotic and is growing importance in the treatment of hospital infections, with particular emphasis on its value to fight against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The increasing use of vancomycin to treat infections caused by the Gram-positive MRSA in the 1970s selected for drug-resistant enterococci, less potent than staphylococci but opportunistic in the space vacated by other bacteria and in patients with compromised immune systems. The dramatic rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria over the past two decades has stressed the need for completely novel classes of antibacterial agents. This paper reports the recent patent review on the strategy for finding novel quercetinglycoside type antibacterial agents against vancomycin-resistant bacterial strains. © 2013 Bentham Science Publishers.

A structure-guided molecular design approach was used to optimize quercetin diacylglycoside analogues that inhibit bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV and show potent antibacterial activity against a wide spectrum of relevant pathogens responsible for hospital- and community-acquired infections. In this paper, such novel 3,7-diacylquercetin, quercetin 6 ''-acylgalactoside, and quercetin 2 '',6 ''-diacylgalactoside analogues of lead compound 1 were prepared to assess their target specificities and preferences in bacteria. The significant enzymatic inhibition of both Escherichia coli DNA gyrase and Staphylococcus aureus topoIV suggest that these compounds are dual inhibitors. Most of the investigated compounds exhibited pronounced inhibition with MIC values ranging from 0.13 to 128 mu g/mL toward the growth of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive methicillin-resistant S. aureus, methicillin sensitive S. aureus, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), vancomycin intermediate S. aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterial strains. Structure activity relationship studies revealed that the acyl moiety was absolutely essential for activity against Gram-positive organisms. The most active compound 5i was 512-fold more potent than vancomycin and 16-32-fold more potent than 1 against VRE strains. It also has realistic in situ intestinal absorption in rats and showed very low acute toxicity in mice. So far, this compound can be regarded as a leading antibacterial agent.

Retinoid X receptor (RXR) ligands are attractive candidates for clinical application because of their activity against tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer, taxol-resistant lung cancer, metabolic syndrome, and allergy. Though several RXR ligands, especially RXR antagonists, have been reported, the rational molecular design of such compounds is not well advanced. 4-[N-Methanesulfonyl-N-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl) amino] nicotinic acid (5a) is a moderately RXR alpha-preferential agonist, and we examined the feasibility of replacing the methyl group on the sulfonamide with a longer alkyl chain or an aromatic ring as an approach to produce new RXR antagonists. Several of the resulting benzenesulfonanilide-type compounds showed RXR antagonist activity. This design strategy should be a useful approach for addressing the lack of structure diversity of RXR antagonists. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A benzensulfonanilide-type cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1)-selective inhibitor, ZXX2-77: 4-amino-4'-chloro-N-methylbenzenesulfonanilide (4a), has been reported as a novel analgesic that does not cause gastric damage. This compound has a weak analgesic effect but has potent in vitro COX-1 inhibitory activity. Since the reason for the weak analgesic effect in vivo was thought to be the low rate of oral absorption, the blood concentration of ZXX2-77 (4a) was measured in rats. It was found that the C(max) value (1.2 mu M) of ZXX2-77 (4a) at a dose of 30 mg/kg did not reach the COX-1 IC(50) value (3.2 mu M). On the other hand, ZXX2-79 (4b) (SO(2)NH derivative of ZXX2-77 (4a); 4-amino-4'-chlorobenzenesulfonanilide), which shows less potent COX inhibitory activities (COX-1 IC(50) = 12 mu M, COX-2 IC(50) = 150 mu M) than those of ZXX2-77 (4a) in vitro, was found to be more absorbable (C(max) - 16 mu M at a dose of 30 mg/kg in rats) than ZXX2-77 (4a). Furthermore, ZXX2-79 (4b) not only showed a potent analgesic effect in a formalin test but also caused little gastric damage. These findings indicate that demethylated sulfonamide compounds are more easily absorbed than are N-methylated sulfonamide compounds and suggest that COX-1-selective inhibitors will be useful as analgesics that do not cause gastric damage.

Malaria is a leading cause of death in developing countries, and the emergence of strains resistant to the main therapeutic agent, chloroquine, has become a serious problem. We have developed cationic-dimer type antimalarials, MAP-610 and PMAP-H10, which are structurally different from chloroquine. In this study, we introduced several substituents on the terminal phenyl rings of PMAP-H10. The electronic and hydrophobic properties of the substituents were correlated with the antimalarial activity and cytotoxicity of the compounds, respectively. Studies with synchronized cultures of malarial plasmodia showed that our cationic-dimers act selectively between the schizont stage and the ring stage of the parasitic cycle, unlike chloroquine, which has a stage-independent action. Thus, the mechanism of action of our antimalarials appears to be different from that of chloroquine, and our compounds may be effective against chloroquine-resistant strains.

Vancomycin is mainly used as an antibacterial agent of last resort, but recently vancomycin-resistant bacterial strains have been emerging. Although new antimicrobials have been developed in order to overcome drug-resistant bacteria, many are structurally complex beta-lactams or quinolones. In this study, we aimed to create new anti-drug-resistance antibacterials which can be synthesized in a few steps from inexpensive starting materials. Since sulfa drugs function as p-aminobenzoic acid mimics and inhibit dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) in the folate pathway, we hypothesized that sulfa derivatives would act as folate metabolite-mimics and inhibit bacterial folate metabolism. Screening of our sulfonanilide libraries, including benzenesulfonanilide-type cyclooxygenase-1-selective inhibitors, led us to discover benzenesulfonanilides with potent anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)/vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) activity, that is, N-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) phenyl-3,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonanilide (16b) [MIC = 0.5 mu g/mL (MRSA), 1.0 mu g/mL (VRE)], and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl) benzenesulfonanilide (16c) [MIC = 0.5 mu g/mL (MRSA), 1.0 mu g/mL (VRE)]. These compounds are more active than vancomycin [MIC = 2.0 mu g/mL (MRSA), 125 mu g/mL (VRE)], but do not possess an amino group, which is essential for DHPS inhibition by sulfa drugs. These results suggested that the mechanism of antibacterial action of compounds 16b and 16c is different from that of sulfa drugs. We also confirmed the activity of these compounds against clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonists (rexinoids) ore attracting much attention for their use in treatment of cancers, including tomoxifen-resistant breast cancer and toxol-resistant lung cancer, and metabolic disease. However, known RXR agonists have a highly lipophilic character. In addition, no subtype-selective RXR agonists have been found. We previously reported on RXR alpha-preferential agonist 4-[N-methanesulfonyl-N-(5,5,8,8-tetromethyl-5,6,7,8tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)amino]benzoic acid (6a). The RXR agonistic activity is much less than that of well-known RXR agonists. To develop potent, less-lipophilic, and subtype-selective RXR agonists, we created new RXR agonists possessing alkoxy and isopropyl groups as a lipophilic domain of the common structure of well-known RXR agonists. As a result, compounds possessing branched alkoxy groups, 6-[N-ethyl-N-(3-isopropoxy-4-isopropylphenyl)amino]nicotinic acid (NEt-3IP: 7a) and 6-[N-ethyl-N-(3-isobutoxy-4-isopropylphenyl)amino]nicotinic acid (NEt-3IB: 7c), showed RXR agonistic activity as potent as, or more potent than, the activities of representative RXR agonists. Moreover NEt-3IP (7a) was found to be the first RXR alpha/beta-selective (or RXR alpha/beta-dual) agonist. Being potent, less lipophilic, and having RXR subtype-selective activity, NEt-3IP (7a) is expected to become a new drug candidate and to be a useful biological toot for clarifying each RXR subtype function.

Although cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibition is thought to be a major mechanism of gastric damage by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), some COX-1-selective inhibitors exhibit strong analgesic effects without causing gastric damage. However, it is not clear whether their analgesic effects are attributable to COX-1-inhibitory activity or other bioactivities. Here, we report that N-(5-amino-2-pyridinyl)-4(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (18f, TFAP), which has a structure clearly different from those of currently available COX-1-selective inhibitors, is a potent COX-1-selective inhibitor (COX-1IC(50) = 0.80 +/- 0.05 mu M, COX-2IC(50) = 210 I mu M). This compound causes little gastric damage in rats even at an oral dose of 300 mg/kg, though it has an analgesic effect at as low a dose as 10 mg/kg. Our results show that COX-1-selective inhibitors can be analgesic agents without causing gastric damage.

Retinoid X receptor agonists (RXR agonists, rexinoids) are interesting candidates for the treatment of cancers such as tomoxifen-resistant breast cancer and taxol-resistant lung cancer. However, well-known RXR agonists possess a strong lipophilic character. In addition, although RXR has three subtypes, no subtype-selective RXR agonists are known. Thus we aimed to produce less-lipophilic and subtype-selective RXR agonists. By designing sulfonamide-type RXR agonists, 4-[N-methanesulfonyl-N-(5,5,8,8-tetromethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrohydro-2-naphthyl)amino]benzoic acid (80) was found to prefer RXR alpha over RXR beta and RXR gamma, although the potency is less than the potencies of well-known RXR pan-agonists. Moreover, our results suggest that the reduction of lipophilicity at the hydrophobic interaction region of RXR agonists enables production of RXR subtype preference. Our finding will be useful for the creation of more potent and less-lipophilic subtype-selective RXR agonists aimed at the reduction of undesirable side effects.

Malaria is one of the three major serious infectious diseases in the world. As the area affected by malaria includes a large proportion of developing countries, there is a need for new antimalarials that can be synthesized and supplied inexpensively. To generate low-cost antimalarials, the MAP series 6-10, bis-cation dimers, synthesized by amidating the carboxyl group of isonicotinic acid (11) with various amines and by cationizing the nitrogen atoms of the pyridine ring with the corresponding alkyl bromides, were designed. This design enabled expansion of the structural variations of bis-cation-type antimalarial compounds. The compounds bearing alkyl or phenyl groups in the amide moieties showed remarkable antimalarial activities in vitro. Moreover, 1, 1'-(1, 12-dodecanediyl)bis[4-[(buthylamino)carbonyl]pyridinium bromide], MAP-412 (6d), exhibited a potent antimalarial activity (ED50 = 8.2 mg kg-(1)). Being prepared at low cost our biscation-type antimalarial compounds may be useful as lead compounds for inexpensive antimalarials.

In order to create novel analgesic agents without gastric disturbance, structurally simple cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitors with a benzenesulfonanilide skeleton were designed and synthesized. As a result, compounds 11f and 15a, which possess a p-amino group on the benzenesulfonyl moiety and p-chloro group on the anilino moiety, showed COX-1-selective inhibition. Moreover compound 11f, which is the most potent compound in this study showed more potent analgesic activity than that of aspirin at 30 mg/kg by po. The anti-inflammatory activity and gastric damage, however, were very weak or not detectably different from aspirin. Since the structure of our COX-1 inhibitors are very simple, they may be useful as lead compounds for superior COX-1 inhibitors as analgesic agents without gastric disturbance.

We recently reported that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIB)-induced gastric lesions involve NSAID-induced apoptosis of gastric mucosal cells, which in turn involves the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, in particular the up-regulation of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous transcription factor (CHOP). In this study, we have examined the molecular mechanism governing this NSAID-induced apoptosis in primary cultures of gastric mucosal cells. Various NSAIDs showed membrane permeabilization activity that correlated with their apoptosis-inducing activity. Various NSAIDs, particularly celecoxib, also increased intracellular Ca2+ levels. This increase was accompanied by K+ efflux from cells and was virtually absent when extracellular Ca2+ had been depleted. These data indicate that the increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels that is observed in the presence of NSAIDs is due to the stimulation of Ca2+ influx across the cytoplasmic membrane, which results from their membrane permeabilization activity. An intracellular Ca2+ chelator partially inhibited celecoxib-induced release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, reduced the magnitude of the celecoxib-induced decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibited celecoxib-induced apoptotic cell death. It is therefore likely that an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels is involved in celecoxib-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and the resulting apoptosis. ATI inhibitor of calpain, a Ca2+-dependent cysteine protease, partially suppressed mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in the presence of celecoxib. Celecoxib-dependent CHOP-induction was partially inhibited by the intracellular Ca2+ chelator but not by the calpain inhibitor. These results suggest that Ca2+-stimulated calpain activity and CHOP expression play important roles in celecoxib-induced apoptosis in gastric mucosal cells. © 2005 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

The cytotoxicity of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is involved in the formation of NSAID-induced gastric lesions. The mechanism(s) behind these cytotoxic effects, however, is not well understood. We found here that several NSAIDs tested caused hemolysis when employed at concentrations similar to those that result in cytotoxicity. Moreover, these same NSAIDs were found to directly permeabilize the membranes of calcein-loaded liposomes. Given the similarity in NSAID concentrations for cytotoxic and membrane permeabilization effects, the cytotoxic action of these NSAIDs may be mediated through the permeabilization of biological membranes. Increase in the intracellular Ca2+ level can lead to cell death. We here found that all of NSAIDs tested increased the intracellular Ca2+ level at concentrations similar to those that result in cytotoxicity. Based on these results, we consider a possibility that membrane permeabilization by NSAIDs induces cell death through increase in the intracellular Ca2+ level. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.

Transglucosylation activities of spinach α-glucosidase I and IV, which have different substrate specificity for hydrolyzing activity, were investigated. In a maltose mixture, α-glucosidase I, which has high activity toward not only maltooligosaccharides but also soluble starch and can hydrolyze isomaltose, produced maltotriose, isomaltose, and panose, and α-glucosidase IV, which has high activity toward maltooligosaccharides but faint activity toward soluble starch and isomaltose, produced maltotriose, kojibiose, and 2,4-di-α-D-glucosyl-glucose. Transglucosylation to sucrose by α-glucosidase I and IV resulted in the production of theanderose and erlose, respectively, showing that spinach α-glucosidase I and IV are useful to synthesize the α-1,6-glucosylated and α-1,2- and 1,4-glucosylated products, respectively. © 1999 by Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry.

A series of novel monoacylated vitamin C derivatives were chemically synthesized with a stable ascorbate derivative, 2-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA-2G), and acid anhydrides in pyridine. Their solubility in organic phase, thermal stability, radical scavenging activity, and in vitro skin permeability was evaluated. These monoacylated derivatives were identified as 6-O-acyl-2-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acids (6-Acyl-AA-2G) by UV spectra, elemental analyses, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The reactions afforded 6-Acyl-AA-2G in high yields (30-60%). 6-Acyl-AA-2G exhibited satisfactory stability in neutral solution comparable to that of atypical stable derivative, AA-2G, and also showed the radical scavenging activity. The lipid solubility of 6-Acyl-AA-2G was increased with increasing length of their acyl group. Increased skin permeability was superior to those of AA-2G and ascorbic acid (AsA). 6-Acyl-AA-2G that is susceptible to enzymatic hydrolysis by tissue esterase and/or alpha-glucosidase produces AA-2G and AsA, which is in the skin tissues. Thus, these findings indicate that the novel vitamin C derivatives presented here, 6-Acyl-AA-2G, may be effective antioxidants in skin care and medicinal use.

New functionalized maleimides (3-methylthio-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrroles) were obtained by the reaction of ketene dithioacetals with nitromethane or the reaction of nitro ketene dithioacetal with active methylene compounds in the presence of the appropriate base in dimethyl sulfoxide followed by treatment with methanol. These maleimides reacted with various nucleophilic reagents such as electron-rich aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds like dialkylanilines, aminophenols, indoles, indolizines, and cyalazines to give the corresponding 3-aryl- or heteroaryl-1H-pyrole-2,5-diones. Styryl and merocyanine dyes, and polycyclic pyridazine-diones as chemiluminophors and succinimides were also obtained from these maleimides with good results.

The effect of three positional isomers, o-, m- and p-acetylaminophenyl sulfate (AOAPS, AMAPS and APAPS (acetaminophen sulfate), respectively), on the pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen (APAP) was investigated in rats. All of the intravenously administered positional isomers were rapidly eliminated from plasma, and approximately 80% of the dose was excreted in an unchanged form in the urine within 4 h, while biliary excretions represented a small percent of the doses. Following the intravenous bolus injection of APAP, plasma elimination of APAP was accelerated and the distribution volume of APAP was increased under a steady state concentration (about 10 μg APAP eq/ml) of AOAPS or APAPS, but not AMAPS, as compared with saline infusion. Total body clearances of APAP were increased from 18.3 ml/min/kg for the control to 23.9 and 26.9 ml/min/kg for AOAPS and APAPS coadministration, respectively. AOAPS and APAPS competitively displaced the serum protein binding of APAP, while AMAPS had little effect. The distribution volume of unbound APAP was anomalously increased by APAPS, while it was not affected by AOAPS or AMAPS. Tissue-to-plasma concentration ratios of APAP were significantly increased by APAPS in the liver, kidney and brain, while they were only slightly increased by AOAPS. It was suggested that APAPS has nt only the displacing activity of serum protein binding but also other specific effectiveness on the distribution of APAP.

The effect of conjugated-metabolite, acetaminophen sulfate (APAPS), on the pharmacokinetics of its parent drug, acetaimnophen (APAP), was examined in rats. Following the i.v. bolus administration of APAP with APAPS, the plasma elimination of APAP was delayed and the distribution volume of APAP was increased at the APAPS coadministration with 60 mg APAP equivalent per kg (eq/kg). The percentages of dose excreted in the urine and bile in 4 h as APAP and its conjugated metabolites, APAPS and acetaminophen glucuronide, were significantly decreased. On the other hand, following the i.v. bolus administration of APAP under the steady-state concentration of APAPS, the distribution volume and total body clearance of APAP were significantly increased. Competitive displacement in serum protein binding of APAP by APAPS was ascertained in vitro and in vivo. A part of the conflict between the bolus and infusion experiment may be explained by the changes in the distribution volume of APAP contributed to the APAPS concentration-dependent serum protein binding of APAP. It was speculated that the pharmacokinetics of APAP was partly interacted with APAPS by the displacement of serum protein binding.

N-Acetyl-S-[2-carboxy-1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl]-L-cysteine (I), a new imidazole compound with a sulfur-containing side chain, was isolated from normal human urine by ion-exchange column chromatography, and characterized by physicochemical analyses involving 1H-NMR spectrometry, mass spectrometry and high-voltage paper electrophoresis as well as chemical synthesis. Approximately five milligrams of crystals of the compound were obtained from 450 litres of the urine. Compound I was synthesized by the addition of N-acetyl-L-cysteine to urocanic acid. The compound was also formed by incubation of S-[2-carboxy-1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl]-L-cysteine (II) with acetyl-CoA in the use of rat kidney or liver homogenate as an enzyme source in a Tris buffer at pH 7.4. Rat brain and spleen homogenates were the less or no effective preparations as the enzyme source. On the other hand, little N-acetylation of a diastereomer of compound II occurred in enzymatic reactions with rat tissue homogenates. Compound I was degraded to compound II by rat kidney or liver homogenate. These results suggest that compound I is a new N-acetylated metabolite of compound II, a compound previously found in human urine, and that the acetylating enzyme recognizes stereoisomerism of asymmetric carbon atoms on the molecule of compound II. These findings support an alternative pathway of L-histidine catabolism initiated by the adduction of glutathione and/or cysteine to urocanic acid, the first catabolite of histidine.
