[PMID: 38047990 PMCID: PMC10695916 DOI: 10.1186/s43556-023-00156-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are versatile and vital proteins involved in a wide array of physiological processes and responses, such as sensory perception (e.g., vision, taste, and smell), immune response, hormone regulation, and neurotransmission. Their diverse and essential roles in the body make them a significant focus for pharmaceutical research and drug development. Currently, approximately 35% of marketed drugs directly target GPCRs, underscoring their prominence as therapeutic targets. Recent advances in structural biology have substantially deepened our understanding of GPCR activation mechanisms and interactions with G-protein and arrestin signaling pathways. This review offers an in-depth exploration of both traditional and recent methods in GPCR structure analysis. It presents structure-based insights into ligand recognition and receptor activation mechanisms and delves deeper into the mechanisms of canonical and noncanonical signaling pathways downstream of GPCRs. Furthermore, it highlights recent advancements in GPCR-related drug discovery and development. Particular emphasis is placed on GPCR selective drugs, allosteric and biased signaling, polyphamarcology, and antibody drugs. Our goal is to provide researchers with a thorough and updated understanding of GPCR structure determination, signaling pathway investigation, and drug development. This foundation aims to propel forward-thinking therapeutic approaches that target GPCRs, drawing upon the latest insights into GPCR ligand selectivity, activation, and biased signaling mechanisms.

Abstract
Despite common occurrence in molecules of value, methods for transforming sulfonamides are distinctly lacking. Here we introduce easy-to-access sulfonyl pyrroles as synthetic linchpins for sulfonamide functionalization. The versatility of the sulfonyl pyrrole unit is shown by generating a variety of products through chemical, electrochemical and photochemical pathways. Preliminary results on the direct functionalization of primary sulfonamides are also provided, which may lead to new modes of activation.

Abstract
The development of multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) has become a widely focused research topic, but rational design remains as an enormous challenge. This paper reviews and discusses the design strategy of incorporating the second activity into an existing single-active ligand. If the binding sites of both targets share similar endogenous substrates, MTDLs can be designed by merging two lead compounds with similar functional groups. If the binding sites are large or adjacent to the solution, two key pharmacophores can be fused directly. If the binding regions are small and deep inside the proteins, the linked-pharmacophore strategy might be the only way. The added pharmacophores of second targets should not affect the binding mode of the original ones. Moreover, the inhibitory activities of the two targets need to be adjusted to achieve an optimal ratio.

Abstract
This paper describes the design and synthesis of a photostable, far-red to near-infrared (NIR) platform for optical voltage sensing. We developed a new, sulfonated silicon rhodamine fluorophore and integrated it with a phenylenevinylene molecular wire to create a Berkeley Red Sensor of Transmembrane potential, or BeRST 1 ("burst"). BeRST 1 is the first member of a class of far-red to NIR voltage sensitive dyes that make use of a photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) trigger for optical interrogation of membrane voltage. We show that BeRST 1 displays bright, membrane-localized fluorescence in living cells, high photostability, and excellent voltage sensitivity in neurons. Depolarization of the plasma membrane results in rapid fluorescence increases (24% ΔF/F per 100 mV). BeRST 1 can be used in conjunction with fluorescent stains for organelles, Ca(2+) indicators, and voltage-sensitive fluorescent proteins. In addition, the red-shifted spectral profile of BeRST 1, relative to commonly employed optogenetic actuators like ChannelRhodopsin2 (ChR2), which require blue light, enables optical electrophysiology in neurons. The high speed, sensitivity, photostability and long-wavelength fluorescence profiles of BeRST 1 make it a useful platform for the noninvasive, optical dissection of neuronal activity.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and its reduced form nitroxyl (HNO), effective vasodilation agents that can inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion, could suppress adverse cardiovascular effects associated with the use of selective COX-2 inhibitors. In this regard, a sulfohydroxamic acid (SO(2)NHOH) substituent, that can act as a dual NO/HNO donor moiety, was inserted at the para-position of the C2 phenyl ring of acyclic 2-alkyl-1,1,2-triaryl olefins previously shown to be potent and highly selective COX-2 inhibitors. Although this new group of 1,1-diaryl-2-(4-hydroxyaminosulfonylphenyl)alk-1-enes exhibited weak inhibition of the constitutive cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and inducible COX-2 isozymes, in vivo studies showed anti-inflammatory potencies that were generally intermediate between that of the reference drugs aspirin and ibuprofen. All compounds released NO (5.6-13.5% range) upon incubation with phosphate buffer which was increased further (8.3-25.6% range) in the presence of the oxidant K(3)(FeCN(6)).The low release of HNO in MeOH-buffer (< 2% at 24 h incubation) was much higher at alkaline pH (11-37% range). The concept of designing better anti-inflammatory drugs possessing either an effective HNO, or dual NO/HNO, donor moiety that are devoid of adverse ulcerogenic and/or cardiovascular side effects warrants further investigation.

Abstract
A new synthetic strategy for construction of the heptacyclic marine fungal alkaloid (+/-)-communesin F has been devised. Key reactions include an intramolecular Heck cyclization of a tetrasubstituted alkene to generate a tetracyclic enamide bearing one of the quaternary carbon centers (C7) of the alkaloid, an intramolecular reductive cyclization of an N-Boc aniline onto the oxindole moiety to form a pentacyclic framework containing the southern aminal, a stereoselective N-Boc-lactam enolate C-allylation to introduce the second quaternary carbon center (C8), and an azide reduction/N-Boc-lactam-opening cascade leading to the northern aminal.

Abstract
Huey Lewis and the News summed it up nicely in their 1980s hit record: 'I want a new drug, one that won't make me sick, one that won't make me crash my car, or make me feel three feet thick'. The song could be an anthem for drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry. We all want new and better drugs with fewer side effects, which are effective for combating the major diseases of our time: cancer, heart disease, obesity and autoimmune diseases. How do we get these new drugs? There are currently some new ideas in drug discovery, centered on that staple diet of the pharmaceutical industry, the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. In silico methods, employing receptor-based modeling, offer a more rational approach in the design of drugs targeting GPCRs. These approaches can be used to understand receptor selectivity and species specificity of drugs that interact with GPCRs. In addition, there are various novel approaches, such as the design and potential utility of drugs that target more than one GPCR ('dual specificity' drugs).

Abstract
In a previous report we demonstrated that merging together key structural elements present in an AT(1) receptor antagonist (1, irbesartan) with key structural elements in a biphenylsulfonamide ET(A) receptor antagonist (2) followed by additional optimization provided compound 3 as a dual-action receptor antagonist (DARA), which potently blocked both AT(1) and ET(A) receptors. Described herein are our efforts directed toward improving both the pharmacokinetic profile as well as the AT(1) and ET(A) receptor potency of 3. Our efforts centered on modifying the 2'-side chain of 3 and examining the isoxazolylsulfonamide moiety in 3. This effort resulted in the discovery of 7 as a highly potent second-generation DARA. Compound 7 also showed substantially improved pharmacokinetic properties compared to 3. In rats, DARA 7 reduced blood pressure elevations caused by intravenous infusion of Ang II or big ET-1 to a greater extent and with longer duration than DARA 3 or AT(1) or ET(A) receptor antagonists alone. Compound 7 clearly demonstrated superiority over irbesartan (an AT(1) receptor antagonist) in the normal SHR model of hypertension in a dose-dependent manner, demonstrating the synergy of AT(1) and ET(A) receptor blockade in a single molecule.

Abstract
A series of 4'-[(imidazol-1-yl)methyl]biphenylsulfonamides has potent antagonist activity against both angiotensin II AT(1) and endothelin ET(A) receptors. Such dual-acting antagonists could have utility in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases in a broad patient population. Certain compounds in the present series are orally active in a rat model of angiotensin II-mediated hypertension.

Abstract
We have previously disclosed the selective ET(A) receptor antagonist N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-4'-(2-oxazolyl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-sulfonamide (1, BMS-193884) as a clinical development candidate. Additional SAR studies at the 2'-position of 1 led to the identification of several analogues with improved binding affinity as well as selectivity for the ET(A) receptor. Following the discovery that a 3-amino-isoxazole group displays significantly improved metabolic stability in comparison to its 5-regioisomer, the 3-amino-isoxazole group was combined with the optimal 2'-substituent leading to 16a (BMS-207940). Compound 16a is an extremely potent (ET(A) K(i) = 10 pM) and selective (80,000-fold for ET(A) vs ET(B)) antagonist. It is also 150-fold more potent and >6-fold more selective than 1. The bioavailability of 16a was 100% in rats and the systemic clearance and volume of distribution are higher than that of 1. In rats, intravenous 16a blocks big ET pressor responses with 30-fold greater potency than 1. After oral dosing at 3 micromol/kg, 16a displays enhanced duration relative to 1.

Abstract
The ET(A) receptor antagonist (2) (N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-4'-(2-oxazolyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-sulfonamide, BMS-193884) shares the same biphenyl core as a large number of AT(1) receptor antagonists, including irbesartan (3). Thus, it was hypothesized that merging the structural elements of 2 with those of the biphenyl AT(1) antagonists (e.g., irbesartan) would yield a compound with dual activity for both receptors. This strategy led to the design, synthesis, and discovery of (15) (4'-[(2-butyl-4-oxo-1,3-diazaspiro[4.4]non-1-en-3-yl)methyl]-N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-2'-[(3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-sulfonamide, BMS-248360) as a potent and orally active dual antagonist of both AT(1) and ET(A) receptors. Compound 15 represents a new approach to treating hypertension.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to synthesize selective ligands for melatoninergic subtype receptors that could elucidate the physiological role of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, 1). So, we first investigated the role of a nitro substituent in the 4-, 6-, or 7-position of the indole heterocycle. Comparatively to melatonin, its analogues that nitrated in the 6- or 7-position (6 and 22) lose MT(3) but retain good MT(1) and MT(2) affinities, whereas the 4-nitro isomer (5) shows very high affinity (nanomolar) and selectivity for the MT(3) binding sites. N-Methylation of the indole nucleus of compound 5 potentiates these effects and affords the most potent and selective MT(3) ligand (17). The 2-iodo derivatives (12 and 10) of compounds 5 and 17 have also been synthesized to evaluate their binding profile with a view to further develop MT(3) selective radioligands.

Abstract
A number of 4'-heterocyclic biphenylsulfonamide derivatives, formally derived from BMS-193884 (1) by replacing the oxazole ring with other heterocyclic rings, are potent and selective endothelin A (ET(A)) receptor antagonists. Among the analogues examined, the pyrimidine derivative 18 is the most potent (K(i)=0.9 nM) and selective for the ET(A) receptor, approximately equivalent to 1.

Abstract
The synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of a series of 4'-oxazolyl-N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)[1, 1'-biphenyl]-2-sulfonamide derivatives as endothelin-A (ET(A)) receptor antagonists are described. The data reveal a remarkable improvement in potency and metabolic stability when the 4'-position of the biphenylsulfonamide is substituted with an oxazole ring. Additional 2'-substitution of an acylaminomethyl group further increased the binding activity and provided one of the first subnanomolar ET(A)-selective antagonists in the biphenylsulfonamide series (17, ET(A) K(i) = 0.2 nM). Among the compounds described, 3 (N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-4'-(2-oxazolyl)[1, 1'-biphenyl]-2-sulfonamide; BMS-193884) had the optimum pharmacological profile and was therefore selected as a clinical candidate for studies in congestive heart failure.
