CFI-402257 is a highly potent and selective TTK (threonine tyrosine kinase) Inhibitor ((TTK Ki = 0.1 nM) with potential anticancer activity. TTK is an essential chromosomal regulator and is overexpressed in aneuploid tumors. High TTK levels correlate with a high tumor grade11 and poor patient outcomes. TTK inhibition are associated with a disabled mitotic checkpoint, resulting in chromosome segregation errors, aneuploidy, and cell death.

Protein kinases have been the subject of extensive study in the search for new therapeutic agents in various diseases, for example, cancer. Protein kinases are known to mediate intracellular signal transduction by effecting a phosphoryl transfer from a nucleoside triphosphate to a protein acceptor that is involved in a signaling pathway. There are a number of kinases and pathways through which extracellular and other stimuli cause a variety of cellular responses to occur inside the cell.

Human TTK protein kinase (TTK), also known as tyrosine threonine kinase, dual specificity protein kinase TTK, Monopolar Spindle 1 (Mpsl) and Phosphotyrosine -Picked Threonine Kinase (PYT), is a conserved multispecific kinase that is capable of phosphorylating serine, threonine and tyrosine residues when expressed in E. coli (Mills et al., J. Biol. Chem. 22(5): 16000-16006 (1992)). TTK mRNA is not expressed in the majority of physiologically normal tissues in human (Id). TTK mRNA is expressed in some rapidly proliferating tissues, such as testis and thymus, as well as in some tumors (for example, TTK mRNA was not expressed in renal cell carcinoma, was expressed in 50% of breast cancer samples, was expressed in testicular tumors and ovarian cancer samples) (Id). TTK is expressed in some cancer cell lines and tumors relative to normal counterparts (Id.; see also WO 02/068444 Al).

Therefore, agents which inhibit a protein kinase, in particular TTK, have the potential to treat cancer. There is a need for additional agents which can act as protein kinase inhibitors, in particular TTK inhibitors.

In addition, cancer recurrence, drug resistance or metastasis is one of the major challenges in cancer therapies. Cancer patients who responded favorably to the initial anticancer therapy often develop drug resistance and secondary tumors that lead to the relapse of the disease. Recent research evidences suggest that the capability of a tumor to grow and propagate is dependent on a small subset of cells within the tumor. These cells are termed tumor-initiating cells (TICs) or cancer stem cells. It is thought that the TICs are responsible for drug resistance, cancer relapse and metastasis. Compounds that can inhibit the growth and survival of these tumor-initiating cells can be used to treat cancer, metastasis or prevent recurrence of cancer. Therefore, a need exists for new compounds that can inhibit the growth and survival of tumor- imitating cells.

This work describes a scaffold hopping exercise that begins with known imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines, briefly explores pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazines, and ultimately yields pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as a novel class of potent TTK inhibitors. An X-ray structure of a representative compound is consistent with 1¹/₂ type inhibition and provides structural insight to aid subsequent optimization of in vitro activity and physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Incorporation of polar moieties in the hydrophobic and solvent accessible regions modulates physicochemical properties while maintaining potency. Compounds with enhanced oral exposure were identified for xenograft studies. The work culminates in the identification of a potent (TTK K_i = 0.1 nM), highly selective, orally bioavailable anticancer agent (CFI-402257) for IND enabling studies.

Dehydrozingerone (1) is a pungent constituent present in the rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale) and belongs structurally to the vanillyl ketone class. It is a representative of half the chemical structure of curcumin (2), which is an antioxidative yellow pigment obtained from the rhizomes of turmeric (Curcuma longa). Numerous studies have suggested that 2 is a promising phytochemical for the inhibition of malignant tumors, including colon cancer. On the other hand, there have been few studies on the potential antineoplastic properties of 1, and its mode of action based on a molecular mechanism is little known. Therefore, the antiproliferative effects of1 were evaluated against HT-29 human colon cancer cells, and it was found that 1 dose-dependently inhibited growth at the G2/M phase with up-regulation of p21. Dehydrozingerone additionally led to the accumulation of intracellular ROS, although most radical scavengers could not clearly repress the cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Furthermore, two synthetic isomers of1 (iso-dehydrozingerone, 3, and ortho-dehydrozingerone, 4) were also examined. On comparing of their activities, accumulation of intracellular ROS was found to be interrelated with growth-inhibitory effects. These results suggest that analogues of 1 may be potential chemotherapeutic agents for colon cancer

PAPER

Series of styryl hydrazine thiazole hybrids inspired from dehydrozingerone (DZG) scaffold were designed and synthesized by molecular hybridization approach. In vitro antimycobacterial activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv strain. Among the series, compound 6o exhibited significant activity (MIC = 1.5 μM; IC₅₀ = 0.48 μM) along with bactericidal (MBC = 12 μM) and intracellular antimycobacterial activities (IC₅₀ = <0.098 μM). Furthermore, 6o displayed prominent antimycobacterial activity under hypoxic (MIC = 46 μM) and normal oxygen (MIC = 0.28 μM) conditions along with antimycobacterial efficiency against isoniazid (MIC = 3.2 μM for INH-R1; 1.5 μM for INH-R2) and rifampicin (MIC = 2.2 μM for RIF-R1; 6.3 μM for RIF-R2) resistant strains of Mtb. Presence of electron donating groups on the phenyl ring of thiazole moiety had positive correlation for biological activity, suggesting the importance of molecular hybridization approach for the development of newer DZG clubbed hydrazine thiazole hybrids as potential antimycobacterial agents.

Just after opening a refurbished manufacturing facility in Cape Town, South Africa earlier this year, pharma giant Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) recently opened the doors to its Global Public Health Africa Operations office there.

The company has invested $21 million (300 million rand) in the facilities. The global public health facility will focus on HIV, tuberculosis and maternal, newborn and child health, South Africa – The Good News reported.

“This (investment) tells us that South Africa has the capability to provide a facility for world-class manufacturing,” Rob Davies, minister of the Department of Trade and Industry told the publication.

Johnson & Johnson, which has operated in South Africa for more than 86 years, planned to close the Cape Town manufacturing plant by the end of 2008 but was persuaded to keep the facility open for local manufacturing to serve sub-Saharan business. By 2015, the plant was cited by J&J as the most-improved in cost competitiveness from 30 company plants worldwide.

Earlier this month, the FDA gave J&J’s Janssen drug unit the go-ahead to proceed with the continuous manufacturing process it’s been working on for 5 years. The agency approved a switchover from batch to the new technology for production of HIV drug Prezista, Darunavir on a line at its plant in Gurabo, Puerto Rico.

A β-adrenoceptor partial agonist potentially for the treatment of coronary heart disease.

CAS No.11041-94-4 (Higenamine hydrochloride)

CAS 5843-65-2(free)

Higenamine (norcoclaurine) is a chemical compound found in a variety of plants including Nandina domestica (fruit), Aconitum carmichaelii (root), Asarum heterotropioides, Galium divaricatum (stem and vine), Annona squamosa, and Nelumbo nucifera (lotus seeds).

Legality

Higenamine, also known as norcoclaurine HCl, is legal to use within food supplements in the UK, EU, the USA and Canada. but banned use in The NCAA. Its main is within food supplements developed for weight management, also known as ‘fat burners’. However, products containing (or claiming to contain) pharmacological relevant quantities still require registration as a medicine. The regulatory boundaries for higenamine are unclear as modern formulations have not been clinically evaluated. Traditional formulations with higenamine have been used for thousands of years within Chinese medicine and come from a variety of sources including fruit and orchids. There are no studies comparing the safety of modern formulations (based on synthetic higenamine) with traditional formulations. Nevertheless, it will not be added to the EU ‘novel foods’ catalogue, which details all food supplements that require a safety assessment certificate before use.^[1]

Pharmacology

Since higenamine is present in plants which have a history of use in traditional medicine, the pharmacology of this compound has attracted scientific interest. A variety of effects have been observed in in vitro studies and in animal models, but its effects in humans are unknown.

The results of a 2009 study exposed the compound as a β₂ adrenergic receptor agonist.^[2]

In animal models, higenamine has been demonstrated to be a β₂ adrenoreceptor agonist.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] Adrenergic receptors, or adrenoceptors, belong to the class of G protein–coupled receptors, and are the most prominent receptors in the adipose membrane, besides also being expressed in skeletal muscle tissue. These adipose membrane receptors are classified as either α or β adrenoceptors. Although these adrenoceptors share the same messenger, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), the specific transduction pathway depends on the receptor type (α or β). Higenamine partly exerts its actions by the activation of an enzyme,adenylate cyclase, responsible for boosting the cellular concentrations of the adrenergic second messenger, cAMP.^[7]

In a rodent model, it was found that higenamine produced cardiotonic, vascular relaxation, and bronchodilator effects.^[8]^[9] In particular, higenamine, via a beta-adrenoceptor mechanism, induced relaxation in rat corpus cavernosum, leading to improved vasodilation and erectile function.

Related to improved vasodilatory signals, higenamine has been shown in animal models to possess antiplatelet and antithrombotic activity via a cAMP-dependent pathway, suggesting higenamine may contribute to enhanced vasodilation and arterial integrity.^[2]^[7]^[9]^[10]

Toxicity

Regarding toxicity, researchers have suggested that the levels of higenamine reported in food consumption (estimated 47.5 mg in a 9-ounce serving of Lotus) would be comparable to the amount used in food supplements.^{[citation needed]} Higenamine is a beta-adrenergic agonist which has effects on the function of trachea and heart muscles.^[11]^[12]During a study of acute toxicity, mice were orally administered the compound at a dose of 2 g per kg of bodyweight. No mice died during the study.^[13] higenamine is one of the main chemicals in a plant called aconite. Aconite has been shown to cause serious heart-related side effects including arrhythmias and even death. in some sources of HIGENAMINE from certain plants that have Aconite

DSM265 is a long-duration, potent and selective dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH)) inhibitor. DSM265 is potential useful for the prevention and treatment of malaria. DSM265 is the first DHODH inhibitor to reach clinical development for treatment of malaria. DSM265 is highly selective toward DHODH of the malaria parasite Plasmodium, efficacious against both blood and liver stages of P. falciparum, and active against drug-resistant parasite isolates. DSM265 has advantages over current treatment options that are dosed daily or are inactive against the parasite liver stage.

Malaria is one of the most significant causes of childhood mortality, but disease control efforts are threatened by resistance of the Plasmodium parasite to current therapies. Continued progress in combating malaria requires development of new, easy to administer drug combinations with broad-ranging activity against all manifestations of the disease. DSM265, a triazolopyrimidine-based inhibitor of the pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), is the first DHODH inhibitor to reach clinical development for treatment of malaria. We describe studies profiling the biological activity, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties, and safety of DSM265, which supported its advancement to human trials. DSM265 is highly selective toward DHODH of the malaria parasite Plasmodium, efficacious against both blood and liver stages of P. falciparum, and active against drug-resistant parasite isolates. Favorable pharmacokinetic properties of DSM265 are predicted to provide therapeutic concentrations for more than 8 days after a single oral dose in the range of 200 to 400 mg. DSM265 was well tolerated in repeat-dose and cardiovascular safety studies in mice and dogs, was not mutagenic, and was inactive against panels of human enzymes/receptors. The excellent safety profile, blood- and liver-stage activity, and predicted long half-life in humans position DSM265 as a new potential drug combination partner for either single-dose treatment or once-weekly chemoprevention. DSM265 has advantages over current treatment options that are dosed daily or are inactive against the parasite liver stage.

A new single-dose malaria drug is offering promise as both a cure to malaria and also a way to prevent the disease according to researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The new drug, which is known as DSM265, kills the drug-resistant malaria parasites in the blood and liver by targeting the ability of the parasites to replicate.

malaria

Malaria is a very infectious disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes, and it kills about 600,000 people worldwide every year. Most of the people who are killed by malaria are under 5-years-old, and it’s more common in sub-Saharan Africa. Almost 200 million cases of malaria are reported every year, with about 3 billion people in 97 countries at risk for the disease. Lead author Dr. Margaret Phillips, who is a professor of Pharmacology at UT Southwestern said that this could be the first single-dose cure for malaria, and would be used in partnership with another drug. This drug could also be developed into a once-a-week preventive vaccination as well, and the results of the study were just published in Science Translational Medicine. Not only was UT Southwestern involved in the research study, but Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Australia, the University of Washington, and the not-for-profit Medicines for Malaria Venture was also involved.

Malaria is one of the most deadly infectious diseases in human history with 3.2 billion people in 97 countries at risk. An estimated 444,000 deaths from malaria were reported by the WHO in 2015 and ∼90% of these occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, mostly among children under the age of five. Human malaria, which is transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito, can be caused by five species of Plasmodia; however, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are the most signficant.P. falciparum is dominant in Africa and accounts for most of the deaths, while P. vivax has a larger global distribution.

To simplify treatment options it is desirable that new drugs be efficacious against all human infective species. Malaria is a treatable disease and malarial control programs depend on drug therapy for treatment and chemoprevention, and on insecticides (including insecticide impregnated bed nets) to prevent transmission.

A large collection of drugs has been used for the treatment of malaria, but many of the most important compounds have been lost to drug resistance (e.g., chloroquine and pyrimethamine).Artemisinin combination therapies (ACT) replaced older treatments, becoming highly effective, crucial tools in global efforts that have led to the decline in malaria deaths over the past decade. However, resistance to the artemisinin components (associated with Kelch13 propeller protein mutations has been found in Southeast Asia putting at risk malaria treatment programs. To combat drug resistance a significant effort is underway to identify new compounds that can be used for the treatment of malaria, with several new entities currently in clinical development.

The triazolopyrimidine DSM265 developed by the group is the first antimalarial agent that targets dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) to reach clinical development, validating this target for the treatment of malaria. DHODH is a mitochondrial enzyme that is required for the fourth step of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, catalyzing the flavin-dependent oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotic acid with mitochondrially derived coenzyme Q (CoQ) serving as a second substrate. Pyrimidines are essential for both RNA and DNA biosynthesis, and because Plasmodia do not encode pyrimidine salvage enzymes, which are found in humans and other organisms, the de novo pyrimidine pathway and DHODH are essential to the parasite.

They identified the triazolopyrimidine DHODH inhibitor series by a target-based high throughput screen, and the initial lead DSM1 (2) was shown to selectively inhibit P. falciparumDHODH and to kill parasites in vitro, but it was ineffective in vivo due to poor metabolic properties. The series was subsequently optimized to improve its in vivo properties resulting in the identification of DSM74 (3), which while metabolically stable lacked potencyX-ray structures of 2 and 3 bound to PfDHODH were then used to guide the medicinal chemistry program in the search for more potent analogues, resulting in the identification of 1.

Plasmodium falciparum causes approximately 1 million deaths annually. However, increasing resistance imposes a continuous threat to existing drug therapies. We previously reported a number of potent and selective triazolopyrimidine-based inhibitors of P. falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase that inhibit parasite in vitro growth with similar activity. Lead optimization of this series led to the recent identification of a preclinical candidate, showing good activity against P. falciparum in mice. As part of a backup program around this scaffold, we explored heteroatom rearrangement and substitution in the triazolopyrimidine ring and have identified several other ring configurations that are active as PfDHODH inhibitors. The imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines were shown to bind somewhat more potently than the triazolopyrimidines depending on the nature of the amino aniline substitution. DSM151, the best candidate in this series, binds with 4-fold better affinity (PfDHODH IC₅₀ = 0.077 μM) than the equivalent triazolopyrimidine and suppresses parasites in vivo in the Plasmodium berghei model.

Drug therapy is the mainstay of antimalarial therapy, yet current drugs are threatened by the development of resistance. In an effort to identify new potential antimalarials, we have undertaken a lead optimization program around our previously identified triazolopyrimidine-based series of Plasmodium falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH) inhibitors. The X-ray structure of PfDHODH was used to inform the medicinal chemistry program allowing the identification of a potent and selective inhibitor (DSM265) that acts through DHODH inhibition to kill both sensitive and drug resistant strains of the parasite. This compound has similar potency to chloroquine in the humanized SCID mouse P. falciparum model, can be synthesized by a simple route, and rodent pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated it has excellent oral bioavailability, a long half-life and low clearance. These studies have identified the first candidate in the triazolopyrimidine series to meet previously established progression criteria for efficacy and ADME properties, justifying further development of this compound toward clinical candidate statu

PAPER

Malaria persists as one of the most devastating global infectious diseases. The pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) has been identified as a new malaria drug target, and a triazolopyrimidine-based DHODH inhibitor 1 (DSM265) is in clinical development. We sought to identify compounds with higher potency against PlasmodiumDHODH while showing greater selectivity toward animal DHODHs. Herein we describe a series of novel triazolopyrimidines wherein the p-SF₅-aniline was replaced with substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl or 2-indanyl amines. These compounds showed strong species selectivity, and several highly potent tetrahydro-2-naphthyl derivatives were identified. Compounds with halogen substitutions displayed sustained plasma levels after oral dosing in rodents leading to efficacy in the P. falciparum SCID mouse malaria model. These data suggest that tetrahydro-2-naphthyl derivatives have the potential to be efficacious for the treatment of malaria, but due to higher metabolic clearance than 1, they most likely would need to be part of a multidose regimen

A continuous-flow approach towards the selective nanopalladium-catalyzed hydrogenation of the olefinic bond in various Michael acceptors, which could lead to a greener and more sustainable process, has been developed. The nanopalladium is supported on aminofunctionalized mesocellular foam. Both aromatic and aliphatic substrates, covering a variation of functional groups such as acids, aldehydes, esters, ketones, and nitriles were selectively hydrogenated in high to excellent yields using two different flow-devices (H-Cube® and Vapourtec). The catalyst was able to hydrogenate cinnamaldehyde continuously for 24 h (in total hydrogenating 19 g cinnanmaldehyde using 70 mg of catalyst in the H-cube®) without showing any significant decrease in activity or selectivity. Furthermore, the metal leaching of the catalyst was found to be very low (ppb amounts) in the two flow devices.

Visible light promoted straightforward highly regioselective synthesis of 1,3-oxathiolane-2-thiones (cyclic dithiocarbonates) starting directly from styrenes, CS₂ and air (O₂) is reported. The protocol utilizes eosin Y as an organophotoredox catalyst and clean resources like visible light and air (O₂) as sustainable reagents at room temperature in a one-pot procedure. Additionally, the approach is advantageous in terms of step economy as it skips the prefunctionalization of styrenes to oxiranes, which has been inevitable in commonly used syntheses of 1,3-oxathiolane-2-thiones.

The HT-5 ₄ receptor agonists into benzamides, benzimidazole class and indole alkylamines three kinds, which benzamides derivatives act on the neurotransmitter serotonin in the central nervous system by modulation, It showed significant pharmacological effect. The role of serotonin and benzamides derivatives and pharmacologically related to many diseases. Therefore, more and more people will focus on the human body produce serotonin, a storage position and the position of serotonin receptors, and to explore the relationship between these positions with a variety of diseases.

Commonly used in clinical cisapride (cisapride) and Mosapride (Tony network satisfied) is one of the novel benzamides drugs.

These drugs mainly through the intestinal muscle between the excited 5-HT neurofilament preganglionic and postganglionic neurons ₄ receptor to promote the release of acetylcholine and enhancing cholinergic role in strengthening the peristalsis and contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle. In large doses, it can antagonize the HT-5₃ receptors play a central antiemetic effect, when typical doses, through the promotion of gastrointestinal motility and antiemetic effect. These drugs can increase the lower esophageal smooth muscle tension and promote esophageal peristalsis, improving the antrum and duodenum coordinated motion, and promote gastric emptying, but also promote the intestinal movement and enhanced features, increase the role of the proximal colon emptying, It is seen as the whole digestive tract smooth muscle prokinetic effect of the whole gastrointestinal drugs.

Mainly used for reflux esophagitis, functional dyspepsia, gastroparesis, postoperative gastrointestinal paralysis, functional constipation and intestinal pseudo-obstruction patients. Since there is slight antagonism cisapride the HT-5 ₃ and anti-D2 receptor, can cause cardiac adverse reactions, prolonged QT occurs, and therefore, patients with severe heart disease, ECG QT prolonged, low potassium, and low blood magnesium prohibited drug. Liver and kidney dysfunction, lactating women and children is not recommended. Due to increase between drug diazepam, ethanol, acenocoumarol, cimetidine and ranitidine the absorption of anticholinergic drugs may also antagonize the effect of this product to promote peristalsis of the stomach, should be aware of when using these, such as when diarrhea should reduce, anticoagulant therapy should pay attention to monitoring the clotting time. Mosapride selective gastrointestinal tract the HT-5 ₄ receptor agonists, there is no antagonism of D2 receptors, does not cause QT prolonged, reduce adverse reactions, mainly fatigue, dizziness, loose stools, mild abdominal pain , the efficacy of cisapride equivalent clinical effect broader Puka cisapride (prucalopride, Pru) of benzimidazole drugs, with high selectivity and specificity of the HT-5 ₄ receptor, increasing cholinergic neurotransmitters quality release, stimulate peristalsis reflex, enhance colon contraction, and accelerate gastric emptying, gastrointestinal motility to promote good effect, can effectively relieve the patient’s symptoms of constipation, constipation and for treatment of various gastrointestinal surgery peristalsis slow and weak, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction.

WO2005068461 discloses as the HT-5 ₄ receptor agonists benzamides compounds, particularly discloses compounds represented by the formula:

ATI-7505

ATI-7505 is stereoisomeric esterified. Cisapride analogs, safe and effective treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders, including gastroparesis, gastroesophageal reflux disease and related disorders. The drug can also be used to treat a variety of central nervous system disorders. ATI-7505 for the treatment or prevention of gastroesophageal reflux disease, also taking cisapride significantly reduced side effects. These side effects include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and blood pressure and heart rate rise.

Further, the compounds and compositions of this patent disclosure also useful in treating emesis and other diseases. Such as indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, postoperative ileus, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction. In the course of treatment, but also taking cisapride reduce the side effects.

ΑΉ-7505 as the HT-5 ₄ receptor ligands may be mediated by receptors to treat the disease. These receptors are located in several parts of the central nervous system, modulate the receptor can be used to affect the CNS desired modulation.

ATI-7505 contained in the ester moiety does not detract from the ability of the compounds to provide treatment, but to make the compound easier to serum and / or cytosolic esterases degraded, so you can avoid the drug cytochrome P450 detoxification system, and this system with cisapride cause side effects related, thus reducing side effects.

The HT-Good 5 ₄ receptor agonists and should the HT-5 ₄ receptor binding powerful, while the other hardly shows affinity for the receptor, and show functional activity as agonists. They should be well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, metabolically stable and possess desirable pharmacokinetic properties. When targeting the receptor in the central nervous system, they should cross the blood-free, selectively targeting peripheral nervous system receptors, they should not pass through the blood-brain barrier. They should be non-toxic, and there is little proof of side effects. Furthermore, the ideal drug candidate will be a stable, non-hygroscopic and easily formulated in the form of physical presence.

Based on the HT-5 ₄ receptor agonists current developments, the present invention relates to a series of efficacy better, safer, less side effects of the benzamide derivatives.
