Phthalamide Analogues Figure 1 which is interferes with dynamin I, dynamin II and Drp1

Proceedings of MatricesFor IITTEP – ICoMaNSEd 2015 ISBN: 978-602-74204-0-3 Chemistry Page 134 The most potent dynamin inhibitor from this library is compound 20 with IC 50 = 3.33 ± 0.75 µM. The removal of the C2 methyl group in this compound resulted an increase of 3-fold in potency for dynamin I inhibition compound 21, Figure 4 with IC 50 = 1.30 ± 0.30 µM. This by far is the most potent dynamin inhibitors, two times more potent that Bis-T analogues and fifteen times more potent than dynasore.

3.5. Phthalamide Analogues

From the virtual library screening used homology representations hDyn1-2 and hDyn1-7 and the ICM flexible ligand-grid receptor algorithm, resulted in 520 hits Odel, et al , 2010. Of these, 175 were obtained from the vendors for biological evaluation. From the initial biological assay, 7 compounds were found to be moderate IC 50 = 50 – 170 µM to good IC 50 50 µM inhibitors of dynamin 1 GTPase activity Table 2. One of the active compound is compound 22 Figure 5, the phthalimde derivative IC 50 ~ 170 µM. N N H O O O Cl O HO Figure 5. Structure Phthalamide derivative 22 Compound 22 contains a 2-biphenyl group and a 4-chlorobenzoic acid moiety, which connects to the phthalimide through an amide bond. The biological assay for compound 30 has shown it to be a moderate inhibitor of dynamin with IC 50 ~ 170 µM, and from the binding mode evaluation it appears to fit well withing the binding site showing several hydrogen bonding, ionic and van der Waals interactions with the active site residues. This compound is not commercially available, so it was synthesized via two straightforward condensation reactions utilizing available precursors. Two libraries were developed from this compound, namely Library A and Library B. Synthesis of library A explores the 1-amido-2-benzoic acid moiety, while the synthesis of library B examines the effect of altering the biaryl moiety. The compounds synthesized in libraries A and B, including compound 22, were submitted for biological evaluation. The results are presented in Table 2. It can be seen that the analogues displayed weak i.e. 26; IC 50 = 266 ± 53 µM to moderate 36 and 38; IC 50 = 63 ± 32 µM and 66 ± 18 µM respectively inhibitor activity. These results show by altering the biaryl moiety can increase the potency of the compound to inhibit dynamin’s GTPase activity.
