The OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway is a promising target for the design of therapeutic agents used in the treatment of osteoporosis. E09241 with anN-methylpyridine-chlorofuranformamide structural skeleton was previously identified to decrease bone loss and thus protect against osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats through increasing osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression. In this study, 36 derivatives of E09241 (3a) were prepared. The synthesis, up-regulation of OPG activities, SAR (structure–activity relationship), and cytotoxicity of these compounds are presented. Compounds with good up-regulating OPG activities could inhibit RANKL (the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand)-induced osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells. Particularly, compounds3cand3i1significantly reduced NFATc1 and MMP-9 protein expression through inhibition of the NF-κB and MAPK pathways in RANKL induced RAW264.7 cells. In addition, compounds3cand3vsignificantly promoted osteoblast differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells in osteogenic medium, and compounds3c,3v, and3i1obviously increased OPG protein expression and secretion in MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic profiles, acute toxicity, and hERG K+channel effects of compounds3a,3c,3e,3v, and3i1were investigated. Taken together, these results indicate thatN-methylpyridine-chlorofuranformamide analog3i1could serve as a promising lead for the development of new agents for treating osteoporosis.
