Relaxin family peptide receptors (RXFPs) are the potential therapeutic targets for neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic indications. Among them, RXFP3 and RXFP4 (formerly known as GPR100 or GPCR142) are homologous class A G protein-coupled receptors with short N-terminal domain. Ligands of RXFP3 or RXFP4 are only limited to endogenous peptides and their analogues, and no natural product or synthetic agonists have been reported to date except for a scaffold of indole-containing derivatives as dual agonists of RXFP3 and RXFP4. In this study, a new scaffold of tricyclic derivatives represented by compound 7a was disclosed as a selective RXFP4 agonist after a high-throughput screening campaign against a diverse library of 52,000 synthetic and natural compounds. Two rounds of structural modification around this scaffold were performed focusing on three parts: 2-chlorophenyl group, 4-hydroxylphenyl group and its skeleton including cyclohexane-1,3-dione and 1,2,4-triazole group. Compound 14b with a new skeleton of 7,9-dihydro-4H-thiopyrano[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-8(5H)-one was thus obtained. The enantiomers of 7a and 14b were also resolved with their 9-(S)-conformer favoring RXFP4 agonism. Compared with 7a, compound 9-(S)-14b exhibited 2.3-fold higher efficacy and better selectivity for RXFP4 (selective ratio of RXFP4 vs. RXFP3 for 9-(S)-14b and 7a were 26.9 and 13.9, respectively).

In searching for more effective and safer antiepileptic drugs, a series of 2,5-disubstituted [1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7(4H)-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations (SCOs) of cortical neurons were used for in vitro phenotypic screening. Maximal electroshock test (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) test were used to access their anticonvulsant activity, and rotarod test was used to estimate their neurotoxicity. The active compounds in in vitro model are specifically effective in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced epilepsy model but not maximal electroshock (MES) model, more importantly with lower neurotoxicity as compared to commonly used drugs. Among them, compound 5c and 5e showed significant anticonvulsant activities in PTZ-induced epilepsy model with ED50 values at 31.81 mg/kg and 40.95 mg/kg, respectively. These compounds have improved neurotoxicity with protective index (PI = TD50/ED50) values at 17.22 and 9.09, respectively. Finally we demonstrated that compound 5c and 5e mainly acted on GABAA receptor as positive modulators but not sodium channels. Thus the present study has provided potential candidates for further investigation in epilepsy.

Many natural and synthetic substances are known to interfere with the dynamic assembly of tubulin, preventing the formation of microtubules. In our search for potent and selective antitumor agents, a novel series of 1-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzoyl)-5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles were synthesized. The compounds had different heterocycles, including thiophene, furan or the three isomeric pyridines, and they possessed a phenyl ring bearing electron-releasing or electron-withdrawing substituents at the 3-position of the 5-amino-1,2,4-triazole system. Most of the twenty-two tested compounds showed moderate to potent antiproliferative activities against a panel of solid tumor and leukemic cell lines, with four (5j, 5k, 5o and 5p) showing strong antiproliferative activity (IC50 50 values 2-100-fold lower for Jurkat and RS4;11 cells than those for the three lines derived from solid tumors (HeLa, HT-29 and MCF-7 cells). Compound 5k strongly inhibited tubulin assembly, with an IC50 value of 0.66 μM, half that obtained in simultaneous experiments with CA-4 (IC50 = 1.3 μM).
