The Wnt signaling pathway is an essential signal transduction pathway which leads to the regulation of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and migration. Aberrant Wnt signaling is known to have an association with multiple cancers. Porcupine is an enzyme that catalyses the addition of palmitoleate to a serine residue in Wnt proteins, a process which is required for the secretion of Wnt proteins. Here we report the synthesis and structure–activity-relationship of the novel porcupine inhibitors based on a ‘reversed’ amide scaffold. The leading compound 53 was as potent as the clinical compound LGK974 in a cell based STF reporter gene assay. Compound 53 potently inhibited the secretion of Wnt3A, therefore was confirmed to be a porcupine inhibitor. Furthermore, compound 53 showed excellent chemical and plasma stabilities. However, the clearance of compound 53 in liver microsomal tests was moderate to high, and the solubility of compound 53 was suboptimal. Collective efforts toward further optimization of this novel tricyclic template to develop better porcupine inhibitors will be subsequently undertaken and reported in due course.

Seventeen biarylcarboxybenzamide derivatives were prepared for the study of their agonistic/antagonistic activities to the vanilloid receptor (VR1) in rat DRG neurons. The replacement of the piperazine moiety of the lead compound 1 with phenyl ring showed quite enhanced antagonistic activity. Among the prepared derivatives, N-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4-pyridine-2-yl-benzamide (2, IC 50 = 31 nM) and N-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4-(3-methylpyridine-2-yl) benzamide (3g, IC50 = 31 nM), showed 5-fold higher antagonistic activity than 1 in 45Ca2+-influx assay.
