- Microwave-assisted α-halogenation of 2-methylquinolines with tetrabutylammonium iodide and 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-dibromoethane)
-
A simple and efficient methodology permitting the halogenation of 2-methylquinolines into 2-(chloromethyl)quinolines or 2-(bromomethyl)quinolines in the tetrabutylammonium iodide and 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-dibromoethane) system has been developed for the first time. The halogenation can be rapidly completed with good to excellent yields and high selectivity under microwave irradiation.

- 2,6-Difluorobenzamide Inhibitors of Bacterial Cell Division Protein FtsZ: Design, Synthesis, and Structure–Activity Relationships
-
A wide variety of drug-resistant microorganisms are continuously emerging, restricting the therapeutic options for common bacterial infections. Antimicrobial agents that were originally potent are now no longer helpful, due to their weak or null activity toward these antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In addition, none of the recently approved antibiotics affect innovative targets, resulting in a need for novel drugs with innovative antibacterial mechanisms of action. The essential cell division protein filamentous temperature-sensitive Z (FtsZ) has emerged as a possible target, thanks to its ubiquitous expression and its homology to eukaryotic β-tubulin. In the latest years, several compounds were shown to interact with this prokaryotic protein and selectively inhibit bacterial cell division. Recently, our research group developed interesting derivatives displaying good antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, as well as vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The aim of the present study was to summarize the structure–activity relationships of differently substituted heterocycles, linked by a methylenoxy bridge to the 2,6-difluorobenzamide, and to validate FtsZ as the real target of this class of antimicrobials.

-
The potent 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor 3-[3-tert-butylsulfanyl-1-[4-(6-ethoxypyridin-3-yl)benzyl]-5-(5-methylpyridin-2- ylmethoxy)-1H-indol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethylpropionic acid 11cc is described (AM803, now GSK2190915). Building upon AM103 (1) (Hutchinson et al. J. Med Chem.2009, 52, 5803-5815; Stock et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2010, 20, 213-217; Stock et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.2010, 20, 4598-4601), SAR studies centering around the pyridine moiety led to the discovery of compounds that exhibit significantly increased potency in a human whole blood assay measuring LTB4 inhibition with longer drug preincubation times (15 min vs 5 h). Further studies identified 11cc with a potency of 2.9 nM in FLAP binding, an IC50 of 76 nM for inhibition of LTB4 in human blood (5 h incubation) and excellent preclinical toxicology and pharmacokinetics in rat and dog. 11cc also demonstrated an extended pharmacodynamic effect in a rodent bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) model. This compound has successfully completed phase 1 clinical studies in healthy volunteers and is currently undergoing phase 2 trials in asthmatic patients.

- A new synthesis of novel tricyclic 2(5H)-furanone heterocycles from 3,4,5-trichloro-2(5H)-furanone
-
A novel class of five-six-six tricyclic 2(5H)-furanone heterocycles was synthesized from 3,4,5-trichloro-2(5H)-furanone and bifunctional o-nucleophiles in a single step. In addition, 2-(chloromethyl)quinoxaline was obtained through this method, and the distinctive formation mechanism of this compound is discussed.

- Heteroarylmethoxyphenylalkoxyiminoalkylcarboxylic acids as leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitors
-
A novel series of heteroarylmethoxyphenylalkoxyiminoalkylcarboxylic acids was studied as leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitors. A hypothesis of structure-activity optimization by insertion of an oxime moiety was investigated using REV-5901 as a starting point. A systematic structure- activity optimization showed that the spatial arrangement and stereochemistry of the oxime insertion unit proved to be important for inhibitory activity. The promising lead, S-(E)-11, inhibited LTB4 biosynthesis in the intact human neutrophil with IC50 of 8 nM and had superior oral activity in vivo, in a rat pleurisy model (ED50 = 0.14 mg/kg) and rat anaphylaxis model (ED50 = 0.13 mg/kg). In a model of lung inflammation, S-(E)-11 blocked LTE4 biosynthesis (ED50 of 0.1 mg/kg) and eosinophil influx (ED50 of 0.2 mg/kg). S-(E)-11 (A-93178) was selected for further preclinical evaluation.
