Four novel bisulfide bromotyrosine derivatives, psammaplins E (9), F (10), G (11), and H (12), two new I (13) J (14), were isolated from the sponge Pseudoceratina purpurea, along with known A (4), B (6), C (7), D (8) bisaprasin (5). The structures of (9) which each contain an oxalyl group rarely found in marine organisms, determined by spectroscopic analysis.

We have synthesized a histone deacetylase inhibitor, NVP-LAQ824, cinnamic hydroxamic acid, that inhibited in vitro enzymatic activities and transcriptionally activated the p21 promoter reporter gene assays. NVP-LAQ824 selectively growth of cancer cell lines at submicromolar levels after 48-72 h exposure, whereas higher concentrations longer exposure times were required to retard normal dermal human fibroblasts. Flow cytometry studies revealed both tumor cells arrested G(2)-M phase cycle...
A series of N-hydroxy-3-phenyl-2-propenamides were prepared as novel inhibitors human histone deacetylase (HDAC). These compounds potent enzyme inhibitors, having IC(50)s < 400 nM in a partially purified assay. However, potency cell growth inhibition assays ranged over 2 orders magnitude two carcinoma lines.

Inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC) have been shown to induce terminal differentiation human tumor cell lines and antitumor effects in vivo. We prepared analogues suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) trichostatin A evaluated them a HDAC enzyme inhibition assay, p21waf1 (p21) promoter monolayer growth assays. One compound, 4-(dimethylamino)-N-[7-(hydroxyamino)-7-oxoheptyl]-benzamide, was found affect the panel eight differentially.
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have shown promise in treating various forms of cancer. However, many HDAC from diverse structural classes been associated with QT prolongation humans. Inhibition the human ether a-go-go related gene (hERG) channel has and fatal arrhythmias. To determine if observed cardiac effects humans is due to hERG blockade, a highly potent inhibitor devoid activity was required. Starting dacinostat (LAQ824), inhibitor, we explored SAR pharmacophores required for...
We have previously shown that appropriate modification of the benzocycloheptapyridine tricyclic ring system can provide potent farnesyl protein transferase (FPT) inhibitors with good cellular activity. Our laboratories also established incorporation either pyridinylacetyl N-oxide or 4-N-carboxamidopiperidinylacetyl moieties results in pharmacokinetically stable are orally efficacious nude mice. now demonstrate further elaboration by introducing a bromine atom at 7- 10-position...
Crystallographic and thermodynamic studies of farnesyl protein transferase (FPT) complexed with novel tricyclic inhibitors provide insights into the observed SAR for this unique class nonpeptidic FPT inhibitors. The crystallographic structures reveal a binding pattern conserved across mono-, di-, trihalogen series. In complexes, tricycle spans active site cavity interacts both atoms isoprenoid portion bound diphosphate. An amide carbonyl, common to compounds described here, participates in...

Most drugs used to treat viral disease target a virus-coded product. They inhibit single virus or family, and the pathogen can readily evolve resistance. Host-targeted antivirals overcome these limitations. The broad-spectrum activity achieved by host targeting be especially useful in combating emerging viruses for treatment of diseases caused multiple pathogens, such as opportunistic agents immunosuppressed patients. We have developed family compounds that modulate sirtuin 2, an...

The IAPs are key regulators of the apoptotic pathways and commonly overexpressed in many cancer cells. contain one to three BIR domains that crucial for their inhibitory function. pro-survival properties XIAP come from binding pro-apoptotic caspases. BIR3 domain binds inhibits caspase 9, while BIR2 terminal caspases 3 7. While inhibitors have previously been reported, they also inhibit cIAP1/2 promote release TNFα, potentially limiting therapeutic utility. This paper will focus on...
XIAP, a member of the inhibitor apoptosis family proteins, is critical regulator apoptosis. Inhibition BIR domain–caspase interaction promising approach towards treating cancer. Previous work has been directed inhibiting BIR3–caspase-9 interaction, which blocks intrinsic apoptotic pathway; selectively BIR2–caspase-3 would also block extrinsic pathway. The BIR2 domain XIAP successfully crystallized; peptides and small-molecule inhibitors can be soaked into these crystals, diffract to high...
XIAP is a key regulator of apoptosis, and its overexpression in cancer cells may contribute to their survival. The antiapoptotic function derives from BIR domains, which bind inhibit pro-apoptotic caspases. Most known IAP inhibitors are selective for the BIR3 domain cIAP1 cIAP2 as well XIAP. Pathways activated upon cIAP binding these compounds. Inhibitors should exert effects through competition with terminal This paper details our synthetic explorations novel BIR2-selective benzazepinone...
