Rational drug design against a determined target (disease, pathway, or protein) is the main strategy in drug discovery. However, regardless of the main strategy, chemists really wonder how to maximize the utility of their new compounds by drug repositioning them as clinical drug candidates in drug discovery. In this study, we started our drug discovery “from curiosity in the chemical structure of a drug scaffold itself” rather than “for a specific target”. As a new drug scaffold, anomeric diarylamino cyclic aminal scaffold 1, was designed by combining two known drug scaffolds (diphenylamine and the most popular cyclic ether, tetrahydropyran/tetrahydrofuran) and synthesized through conventional Brønsted acid catalysis and metal-free α-C(sp3)–H functionalized oxidative cyclization. To identify the utility of the new scaffold 1, it was investigated through 2D and 3D similarity screening and chemocentric target prediction. The predicted proteins were investigated by an experimental assay. The scaffold 1 was reported to have an antineuroinflammatory agent to reduce NO production, and compound 10 concentration-dependently regulated the expression level of IL-6, PGE-2, TNF-α, ER-β, VDR, CTSD, and iNOS, thus exhibiting neuroprotective activity.
