Inhibition of the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a promising new therapeutic approach in the treatment of inflammation. Driven by the in-house database product lead 1, a hybridization strategy was utilized for the design of a series of novel benzo [d]thiazol derivatives. To our delight, D016, a byproduct of compound 9, was obtained with an extraordinarily low IC50 value of 0.1 nM but poor physical and chemical properties. After removal of a non-essential urea moiety or replacement of the urea group by an amide group, compounds 15a, 17p, and 18d were identified as promising sEH inhibitors, and their molecular binding modes to sEH were constructed. Furthermore, compounds 15a and 18d exhibited more effective in vivo anti-inflammatory effect than t-AUCB in carrageenan-induced mouse paw edema. Compound 15a also showed moderate metabolic stability with a half-time of 34.7 min. Although 18d was unstable in rat liver microsomes, it might be a “prodrug”. In conclusion, this study could provide valuable insights into discovery of new sEH inhibitors, and compounds 15a and 18d were worthy of further development as potential drug candidates to treat inflammation.

Activation of AMPK emerges as a potential therapeutic approach to metabolic diseases. AdipoRon is claimed to be an adiponectin receptor agonist that activates AMPK through adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1). However, AdipoRon also exhibits moderate inhibition of mitochondrial complex I, leading to increased risk of lactic acidosis. In order to find novel AdipoRon analogues that activate AMPK without inhibition of complex I, 27 analogues of AdipoRon were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated. As results, benzyloxy arylamide B10 was identified as a potent AMPK activator without inhibition of complex I. B10 dose-dependently improved glucose tolerance in normal mice, and significantly lowered fasting blood glucose level and ameliorated insulin resistance in db/db diabetic mice. More importantly, unlike the pan-AMPK activator MK-8722, B10 did not cause cardiac hypertrophy, probably owing to its selective activation of AMPK in the muscle tissue but not in the heart tissue. Together, B10 represents a novel class of AMPK activators with promising therapeutic potential against metabolic disease.

Parthenolide is an important sesquiterpene lactone with potent anticancer activities. In order to further improve its biological activity, a series of parthenolide semicarbazone or thiosemicarbazone derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their anti
