-
, (2022/01/24)
The present invention relates to the field of medical pharmacology. In particular, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical agents that serve as inhibitors of the activity of TDP-43. The invention further relates to methods of treatment and / or alleviation of symptoms related to pathological conditions associated with the activity of TDP-43 (for example, neurodevelopmental disorders), comprising the administration to a subject (for example, a human patient) of a composition comprising one or more pharmaceutical agents serving as inhibitors of the activity of TDP-43.

A novel series of 1,4-disubstituted aminoanthraquinones were prepared by ipso-displacement of 1,4-difluoro-5,8-dihydroxyanthraquinones by hydroxylated piperidinyl- or pyrrolidinylalkyl-amino side chains. One aminoanthraquinone (13) was further derivatized to a chloropropyl-amino analogue by treatment with triphenylphosphine-carbon tetrachloride. The compounds were evaluated in the A2780 ovarian cancer cell line and its cisplatin-resistant variants (A2780/cp70 and A2780/MCP1). The novel anthraquinones were shown to possess up to 5-fold increased potency against the cisplatin-resistant cells compared to the wild-type cells. Growth curve analysis of the hydroxyethylaminoanthraquinone 8 in the osteosarcoma cell line U-2 OS showed that the cell cycle is not frozen, rather there is a late cell cycle arrest consistent with the action of a DNA-damaging topoisomerase II inhibitor. Accumulative apoptotic events, using time lapse photography, indicate that 8 is capable of fully engaging cell cycle arrest pathways in G2 in the absence of early apoptotic commitment. 8 and its chloropropyl analogue 13 retained significant activity against human A2780/cp70 xenografted tumors in mice.

Page/Page column 11; 16, (2008/06/13)
Anthraquinone compounds of the general formula (I) or a salt thereof (Formula I) in which R1 to R4 are each selected from the group consisting of H, C1-4 alkyl, X1, -NHR0N (R5)2 in which R0 is a C1-12 alkanediyl and each R5 is H or optionally substituted C1-4 alkyl, and a group of formula (II) in which at least one of R6,R7 and R8 is selected from X2 , and X2 substituted C1-4 alkyl and any others are H or C1-4 alkyl; R9 is selected from H, C1-4 alkyl, X2 and X2 substituted C1-4 alkyl; m is 0 or 1; n is 1 or 2; X1 is a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a C1-6 alkoxyl group, an aryloxy group or an acyloxy group; and X2 is a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a C1-6 alkoxyl group, an aryloxy group or an acyloxy group; provided that at least one of R1 to R4 is a group of formula (II). The N-oxides are useful prodrugs which are selectively bioreduced in hypoxic tumours to the corresponding cyclic amine derivatives. The amine compounds are cytotoxic and may be used as alkylating agents having topoisomerase II inhibiting activities in cancer therapy.
