Sigma-2 receptor (σ2R/TMEM97) has been implicated to play important roles in multiple cellular dysfunctions, such as cell neoplastic proliferation, neuro-inflammation, neurodegeneration, etc. Selective σ2 ligands are believed to be promising pharmacological tools to regulate or diagnose various disorders. As an ongoing effort of discovery of new and selective σ2 ligands, we have synthesized a series of tetrahydroisoquinolino-2-alkyl phenone analogs and identified that 10 of them have moderate to potent affinity and selectivity for σ2R/TMEM97. Especially, 4 analogs showed Ki values ranging from 0.38 to 5.1 nM for σ2R/TMEM97 with no or low affinity for sigma-1 receptor (σ1R). Functional assays indicated that these 4 most potent analogs had no effects on intracellular calcium concentration and were classified as putative σ2R/TMEM97 antagonists according to current understanding. The σ2R/TMEM97 has been suggested to play important roles in the central nervous system. Based on published pharmacological and clinical results from several regarded σ2R/TMEM97 antagonists, these analogs may potentially be useful for the treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases.

The design of a series of styrene and spiroisatin hybrids was based on the structure of combretastatin A-4 1. This library of 20 compounds were synthesized with the pharmacophoric units: 3,4,5-trimethoxy or/and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy phenyl moities in their structure. Thereby, the libraries of β-nitrostyrenes 10a-10c, spiroisatin-dihydroquinolines 14a-14c, spiroisatinthiazolidinones 17a-17c and spiroisatin-nitropyrrolizidines 20a-20k were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic, anti-proliferative, antifungal and antiviral activities. Biological results revealed that among these compounds, β-nitrostyrenes 10a-10c exhibited significant cytotoxicity (HeLa and Jurkat tumor cells) and antifungal (T. mentagrophytes) activities. Moreover, the spiroisatin-dihydroquinoline 14a and 14c showed promising cytotoxicity (U937 cells). 14a-14c molecules were active against human herpesviruses serotypes 1 and 2 (HHV-1 and HHV-2), but only 14a and 14b were effective against dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2). The spiroisatin-nitropyrrolizidine 20c exhibited moderate anti-herpetic activity, while 17c spiroisatin-thiazolidinone derivative also reduced the infection of HHV-1 and DENV-2. Finally, the molecular docking showed that these kind of molecules interact with the subunit α/β-tubulin.

Background: The development of drug-resistant by bacteria appears rapidly and thus making the effectiveness of antibiotics severely limited. Methods: A series of thiourea derivatives was synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities. Results: Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental and spectral analysis. The biological results showed that some of the target compounds displayed comparable antimicrobial and antiviral activities with reference drugs. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the ortho-chloro or fluoro substituted phenyl at Ar1 and substituted pyridinyl at Ar2 positions of the thiourea nucleus are essential for their in vitro antimicrobial and anti-HIV activity. In particular, compounds 8 and 10 showed better activity against the tested bacteria, fungi and viral strains than other synthesized PET derivatives reported in the present study. Conclusion: These results provide an encouraging lead that could be used for the development of new potent antiviral and antimicrobial agents.
