Paragraph 0464-0465; 0466-0468; 0475-0476, (2021/08/14)
The application is directed to compounds of formula (I) and their salts and solvates, wherein B, R1, R2, R3, R3', R4, R4', and R5 are as set forth in the specification, as well as to methods for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and use thereof for the treatment and/or prevention of, e.g., MPS1, optionally in combination with α-L-iduronidase or an analog or variant thereof, e.g., laronidase.

Herein, we report the synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial evaluation of novel quinoline derivatives as DNA gyrase inhibitors. The preliminary antimicrobial activity was assessed against a panel of pathogenic microbes including Gram-positive bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli), and fungal strains (Aspergillus fumigatus, Syncephalastrum racemosum, Geotrichum candidum, and Candida albicans). Compounds that revealed the best activity were subjected to further biological studies to determine their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against the selected pathogens as well as their in vitro activity against the E. coli DNA gyrase, to realize whether their antimicrobial action is mediated via inhibition of this enzyme. Four of the new derivatives (14, 17, 20, and 23) demonstrated a relatively potent antimicrobial activity with MIC values in the range of 0.66–5.29 μg/ml. Among them, compound 14 exhibited a particularly potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against most of the tested strains of bacteria and fungi, with MIC values in the range of 0.66–3.98 μg/ml. A subsequent in vitro investigation against the bacterial DNA gyrase target enzyme revealed a significant potent inhibitory activity of quinoline derivative 14, which can be observed from its IC50 value (3.39 μM). Also, a molecular docking study of the most active compounds was carried out to explore the binding affinity of the new ligands toward the active site of DNA gyrase enzyme as a proposed target of their activity. Furthermore, the ADMET profiles of the most highly effective derivatives were analyzed to evaluate their potentials to be developed as good drug candidates.

α-Glucosidase is responsible for glucose release of oligosaccharides and disaccharides in the intestine and increase postprandial hyperglycemia. Inhibition of this enzyme is a beneficial therapeutic method for glycemic control in diabetes. This study deals with the design and synthesis of 4,5-diphenylimidazole-N-phenylacetamide derivatives 7a–l and the screen of these compounds for their potential for α-glucosidase inhibition. All the synthesized compounds exhibited superior α-glucosidase inhibition (IC50 = 90.0–598.5 μM) as compared to standard inhibitor acarbose (IC50 = 750.0 μM). In contrast, these compounds were inactive against α-amylase. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 7h was the most potent inhibitor of this library and was a competitive inhibitor into α-glucosidase with Ki value = 86.3 μM. Docking study of the most potent compounds was performed to evaluate the binding interactions of these compounds with the active site of enzyme and to determine of binding energies of ligand–enzyme complexes. The results of this in silico study are in complete agreement with the results obtained from in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition assay. Docking study of the most potent compound demonstrated that it interacted with important residues in the active site of α-glucosidase. In vitro cytotoxic activity of the most potent compounds and in silico druglikeness/ADME/toxicity study of these compounds were evaluated.
