Identification of novel short chain 4-substituted indoles as potent αvβ3 antagonist using structure-based drug design
چکیده انگلیسی

The vitronectin receptor αvβ3 has been identified as a promising potential target for the treatment of osteoporosis, diabetic retinopathy and cancer. We have recently reported 5-substituted indoles 3-[5-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,8]naphthyridin-2-yl)ethoxy]indol-1-yl]-3-(3-pyridyl)propionic acid 3 and 3-[5-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,8]naphthyridin-2-yl)ethoxy]indol-1-yl]-3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)propionic acid 4, as an original series of potent αvβ3 antagonists with subnanomolar activity. Ligand–protein docking analyses have been performed to generate binding models of three different chemical classes of known αvβ3 antagonists with αvβ3. Results of this docking study suggested that indoles bearing the basic tetrahydronaphthyridine group at position 4 can easily adopt the correct binding conformation and should be as potent as our current 5-substituted indole leads 3 and 4. This hypothesis was nicely demonstrated by the synthesis of a series of 1,4-disubstituted indoles through a tandem of reactions involving: (i) the N-alkylation of indoles 15 and 22 with propargyl esters and cesium fluoride, and (ii) a Heck coupling reaction between 4-bromoindole and 7-vinyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,8]naphthyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester 12, or (iii) a reductive amination involving the N-substituted-4-aminoindole 23 and the BOC-protected tetrahydro[1,8]naphthyridine aldehyde 13. Among the compounds assayed, 3-(3-pyridyl)-3-[4-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,8]naphthyridin-2-yl)ethyl]indol-1-yl]propionic acid 21 showed the most promising activity on αvβ3 (IC50 = 0.5 nM), and was found to have the same potency as our current leads 3 and 4, while maintaining selectivity over αIIbβIIIa. Moreover, based on the reasonable apparent permeability coefficient in an in vitro CACO-2 cell monolayer assay (Papp apical/basolateral = 2.2 × 10−6 cm/s, Papp basolateral/apical = 2.5 × 10−6 cm/s), compound 21 is expected to be absorbed through the intestine in human. Thus, 1,4-disubstituted indole 21 represents a new lead for this novel class of conformationally restricted αvβ3 antagonists. Additionally, this study validates the pharmacophore model previously postulated and provides an improved basis for further structure-based drug design in the field of αvβ3.
