    Abstract: The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of 4,5-diarylpentanoic acids has the possibility to cyclise to either a 6-membered ring to give 4-benzyltetral-1-one or a 7-membered ring to give 4-arylbenzosuber-1-one. Of these, only the former compound class ...

    Abstract The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of 4,5-diarylpentanoic acids has the possibility to cyclise to either a 6-membered ring to give 4-benzyltetral-1-one or a 7-membered ring to give 4-arylbenzosuber-1-one. Of these, only the former compound class has previously been reported. The impact of the substituents positioning on the outcome of the cyclisation has been investigated. The complete formation of either the tetralone or the benzosuberone regioisomer was possible under the same reaction conditions, dependent upon the ring activation and/or deactivation of the chosen substituents. Selected bromo or methoxy substituents could be used as auxiliaries, included in precursors to afford the desired regioisomer and then subsequently removed.

    Abstract The similarity between Plasmodium falciparum phosphodiesterase enzymes (PfPDEs) and their human counterparts have been examined and human PDE9A was found to be a suitable template for the construction of homology models for each of the four PfPDE isoforms. In contrast, the architecture of the active sites of each model was most similar to human PDE1. Molecular docking was able to model cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) substrate binding in each case but a docking mode supporting cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) binding could not be found. Anticipating the potential of PfPDE inhibitors as anti-malarial drugs, a range of reported PDE inhibitors including zaprinast and sildenafil were docked into the model of PfPDEα. The results were consistent with their reported biological activities, and the potential of PDE1/9 inhibitor analogues was also supported by docking.

    Abstract Diphenoxylate, a well-known opioid agonist and anti-diarrhoeal agent, was recently found to block Kv1.3 potassium channels, which have been proposed as potential therapeutic targets for a range of autoimmune diseases. The molecular basis for this Kv1.3 blockade was assessed by the selective removal of functional groups from the structure of diphenoxylate as well as a number of other structural variations. Removal of the nitrile functional group and replacement of the C-4 piperidinyl substituents resulted in several compounds with submicromolar IC(50) values.

    Abstract Apicomplexan parasites, including Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agents of severe malaria and toxoplasmosis, respectively, undergo several critical developmental transitions during their lifecycle. Most important for human pathogenesis is the asexual cycle, in which parasites undergo rounds of host cell invasion, replication, and egress (exit), destroying host cell tissue in the process. Previous work has identified important roles for Protein Kinase G (PKG) and Protein Kinase A (PKA) in parasite egress and invasion, yet little is understood about the regulation of cyclic nucleotides, cGMP and cAMP, that activate these enzymes. To address this, we have focused upon the development of inhibitors of 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) to block the breakdown of cyclic nucleotides. This was done by repurposing human PDE inhibitors noting various similarities of the human and apicomplexan PDE binding sites. The most potent inhibitors blocked the in vitro proliferation of P. falciparum and T. gondii more potently than the benchmark compound zaprinast. 5-Benzyl-3-isopropyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-one (BIPPO) was found to be a potent inhibitor of recombinant P. falciparum PfPDEα and activated PKG-dependent egress of T. gondii and P. falciparum, likely by promoting the exocytosis of micronemes, an activity that was reversed by a specific Protein Kinase G inhibitor. BIPPO also promotes cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of a P. falciparum ligand critical for host cell invasion, suggesting that the compound inhibits single or multiple PDE isoforms that regulate both cGMP and cAMP levels. BIPPO is therefore a useful tool for the dissection of signal transduction pathways in apicomplexan parasites.
