Targeting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) is a potential therapeutic strategy to control diseases involving oxidative stress. Here, six classes of known small-molecule Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors were dissected into 77 fragments in a fragment-based deconstruction reconstruction (FBDR) study and tested in four orthogonal assays. This gave 17 fragment hits of which six were shown by X-ray crystallography to bind in the Keap1 Kelch binding pocket. Two hits were merged into compound 8 with a 220-380-fold stronger affinity (Ki = 16 μM) relative to the parent fragments. Systematic optimization resulted in several novel analogues with Ki values of 0.04-0.5 μM, binding modes determined by X-ray crystallography, and enhanced microsomal stability. This demonstrates how FBDR can be used to find new fragment hits, elucidate important ligand-protein interactions, and identify new potent inhibitors of the Keap1-Nrf2 PPI.

The identification of a series of sulfonyl-amino-acetamides as BACE-1 (β-secretase) inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is reported. The derivatives were designed based on the docking simulation study, synthesized and assessed for BACE-1 inhibition in vitro. The designed ligands revealed desired binding interactions with the catalytic aspartate dyad and occupance of S1 and S2′ active site regions. These in silico results correlated well with in vitro activity. Out of 33 compounds synthesized, 12 compounds showed significant inhibition at 10 μM concentration. The most active compound 2.17S had IC50 of 7.90 μM against BACE-1, which was concomitant with results of in silico docking study.

Non-peptidic inhibitors of procollagen C-proteinase (PCP) were designed from substrate leads. Compounds were optimized for potency and selectivity, with N-substituted aryl sulfonamide hydroxamates having the best combination of these properties. Compounds
