- Enantioselective catalytic desymmetrization of maleimides by temporary removal of an internal mirror plane and stereoablative over-reduction: Synthesis of (R)-pyrrolam A
-
A highly enantioselective (>95% ee) strategy to affect the desymmetrization of a maleimide has been performed by temporary attachment to an anthracene template followed by asymmetric reduction with an oxazaborolidine catalyst. A stereoablative over-reduction process was partially responsible for the high levels of enantioselectivity. Exemplification of the strategy by stereoselective functionalization and retro-Diels-Alder reaction provided the natural product pyrrolam A.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel benzylidene-succinimide derivatives as noncytotoxic antiangiogenic inhibitors with anticolorectal cancer activity in vivo
-
A novel series of benzylidene-succinimide derivatives were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their cytotoxicities against HCT116, and SW480 cancer cells and NCM460 normal human cells. Their antiangiogenic capabilities were evaluated using a chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. The compound, XCF-37b, was selected as the most potent antiangiogenic inhibitor with noncytotoxicity to evaluate the pharmacological effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that XCF-37b inhibited HT29-cell colon tumor growth in vivo, without showing cytotoxicity against the five other cancer cell lines in vitro. Experiments confirmed that XCF-37b had obvious antiangiogenic activity by HUVEC migration and invasion and rat aortic ring angiogenesis ex vivo. Mechanism studies showed that XCF-37b inhibited the AKT/mTOR and VEGFR2 signaling pathways, as evidenced by decreased expressions of phosphor-AKT (p-AKT), p-mTOR, p-VEGFR2 (Tyr175), p-Src (Tyr416), p-FAK (Tyr925), and p-Erk1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204). Moreover, XCF-37b significantly decreased the protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9 and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). XCF-37b generally regulated angiogenic inhibition through several regulatory pathways, without significantly interfering with colorectal cancer cell growth.

- 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions leading to the synthesis of new 2,3,5-triaryl-4h,2,3,3a,5,6,6a-hexahydropyrrolo[3,4-d]isoxazole-4,6-diones
-
Cycloaddition of C,N-diphenylnitrones 1 to N-aryl maleimides 2 afforded two diastereomeric isoxazolidines with high selectivity. The structure and steric configuration of the adducts have been assigned on the basis of 1H NMR, 1H NMR COSY, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The π-π stacking interactions between maleimide's and nitrone's aromatic rings during the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition were assumed to control the exo-endo selectivity of the reaction. Thus, the exo-endo ratio depends upon the position of the substituent present on the C-phenyl ring of the C,N-diphenylnitrones.

- Study of the diels-alder and retro-diels-alder reaction between furan derivatives and maleimide for the creation of new materials
-
The Diels-Alder reaction leads to a mixture of two diastereomers, one called endo and the other one exo. The cyclo-reversion temperature of the first one is lower than the exo adduct and the ratio between endo and exo adducts varies according to the substituents of the Diels-Alder partners and experimental parameters. Therefore, the influence of some reaction parameters such as the substituents of furan and maleimide derivatives, the reaction temperature and the presence of a nucleophile on the endo/exo Diels-Alder ratio and/or the retro-Diels-Alder reaction have been studied. For instance, furan and maleimide derivatives with electron withdrawing substituents induced the creation of the endo adduct preferentially. Also the presence of a far electron withdrawing substituent on furan and/or an electron attracting mesomeric substituent on maleimide resulted in a faster reversibility of the endo adduct. Finally, a high temperature and the presence of a nucleophile (thiol) also induced faster retro-Diels-Alder kinetics. Moreover, it was proved that isomerization from the endo to the exo diastereomer is preceded by a retro-Diels-Alder reaction of the endo adduct. The presence of a nucleophile in the mixture confirmed this result. This study allowed the highlighting of different parameters of the Diels-Alder reaction to obtain as much endo adduct as possible, and a fast and/or full retro-Diels-Alder reaction of this adduct.

- Macrocyclic Modalities Combining Peptide Epitopes and Natural Product Fragments
-
"Hot loop" protein segments have variable structure and conformation and contribute crucially to protein-protein interactions. We describe a new hot loop mimicking modality, termed PepNats, in which natural product (NP)-inspired structures are incorporated as conformation-determining and-restricting structural elements into macrocyclic hot loop-derived peptides. Macrocyclic PepNats representing hot loops of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and human agouti-related protein (AGRP) were synthesized on solid support employing macrocyclization by imine formation and subsequent stereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition as key steps. PepNats derived from the iNOS DINNN hot loop and the AGRP RFF hot spot sequence yielded novel and potent ligands of the SPRY domain-containing SOCS box protein 2 (SPSB2) that binds to iNOS, and selective ligands for AGRP-binding melanocortin (MC) receptors. NP-inspired fragment absolute configuration determines the conformation of the peptide part responsible for binding. These results demonstrate that combination of NP-inspired scaffolds with peptidic epitopes enables identification of novel hot loop mimics with conformationally constrained and biologically relevant structure.

- Redox-Selective Iron Catalysis for α-Amino C-H Bond Functionalization via Aerobic Oxidation
-
Single-electron oxidation and α-deprotonation of tertiary anilines using Fe(phen)3(PF6)3 afford α-aminoalkyl radicals, which can be coupled with electrophilic partners to afford various tetrahydroquinolines. Mechanistically, the Fe(phen)n 2+/3+ catalytic cycle is maintained by O2 or a TBHP oxidant, and the presence of the oxygen bound iron complex, Fe(III)-OO(H), was elucidated by electron paramagnetic resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. This redox-selective nonheme iron catalyst behaves similarly to bioinspired heme iron catalysts.

- Dual organic dyes as a pseudo-redox mediation system to promotion of tandem oxidation /[3+2] cycloaddition reactions under visible light
-
An atom- and step-economy protocol has been developed to synthesize some new biologically active pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline alkaloids via redox mediation system under visible light irradiation. A vast variety of double and triple bonds, as dipolarophiles, treated with in situ generated azomethine ylides to prepare corresponding products in good to excellent yields. This metal-free method effectively promoted oxidation/[3 + 2] cycloaddition/oxidative/aromatization domino reaction without further oxidant using dual organic dyes as pseudo-redox mediation system. Besides, for most of the products, product precipitate was readily separated from reaction media. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of dual dyes as a pseudo-redox mediation system.

- The discovery, design and synthesis of potent agonists of adenylyl cyclase type 2 by virtual screening combining biological evaluation
-
Adenylate cyclases (ACs), play a critical role in the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Studies have indicated that adenylyl cyclase type 2 (AC2) is potential drug target for many diseases, however, up to now, there is no AC2-selective agonist reported. In this research, docking-based virtual screening with the combination of cell-based biological assays have been performed for discovering novel potent and selective AC2 agonists. Virtual screening disclosed a novel hit compound 8 as an AC2 agonist with EC50 value of 8.10 μM on recombinant human hAC2 + HEK293 cells. The SAR (structure activity relationship) based on the derivatives of compound 8 was further explored on recombinant AC2 cells and compound 73 was found to be the most active agonist with the EC50 of 90 nM, which is 160-fold more potent than the reported agonist Forskolin and could selectively activate AC2 to inhibit the expression of Interleukin-6. The discovery of a new class of AC2-selective agonists would provide a novel chemical probe to study the physiological function of AC2.

Dearomatisation of indole derivatives to the corresponding isatin derivatives has been achieved with the aid of visible light and oxygen. It should be noted that isatin derivatives are highly important for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Notably, this chemistry works excellently with N-protected and protection-free indoles. Additionally, this methodology can also be applied to dearomatise pyrrole derivatives to generate cyclic imides in a single step. Later this methodology was applied for the synthesis of four pharmaceuticals and a pesticide called dianthalexin B. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed the actual role of oxygen and photocatalyst.

- Nickel(II) Tetraphenylporphyrin as an Efficient Photocatalyst Featuring Visible Light Promoted Dual Redox Activities
-
Nickel(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP) is presented as a robust, cost-effective and efficient visible light induced photoredox catalyst. The ground state electrochemical data (CV) and electronic absorption (UV-Vis) spectra reveal the excited state redox potentials for [NiTPP]*/[NiTPP].? and NiTPP].+/[NiTPP]* couples as +1.17 V and ?1.57 V vs SCE respectively. The potential values represent NiTPP as a more potent photocatalyst compare to the well-explored [Ru(bpy)3]2+. The non-precious photocatalyst exhibits excited state redox reactions in dual fashions, i. e., it is capable of undergoing both oxidative as well as reductive quenching pathways. Such versatility of a photocatalyst based on first-row transition metals is very scarce. This unique phenomenon allows one to perform diverse types of redox reactions by employing a single catalyst. Two different sets of chemical reactions have been performed to represent the synthetic utility. The catalyst showed superior efficiency in both carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Thus, we believe that NiTPP is a valuable addition to the photocatalyst library and this study will lead to more practical synthetic applications of earth-abundant-metal-based photoredox catalysts.

- Preparation and Characterization of a Small Library of Thermally-Labile End-Caps for Variable-Temperature Triggering of Self-Immolative Polymers
-
The reaction between furans and maleimides has increasingly become a method of interest as its reversibility makes it a useful tool for applications ranging from self-healing materials, to self-immolative polymers, to hydrogels for cell culture and for the preparation of bone repair. However, most of these applications have relied on simple monosubstituted furans and simple maleimides and have not extensively evaluated the potential thermal variability inherent in the process that is achievable through simple substrate modification. A small library of cycloadducts suitable for the above applications was prepared, and the temperature dependence of the retro-Diels-Alder processes was determined through in situ 1H NMR analyses complemented by computational calculations. The practical range of the reported systems ranges from 40 to >110 °C. The cycloreversion reactions are more complex than would be expected based on simple trends expected based on frontier molecular orbital analyses of the materials.

- An approach to "escape from flatland": Chemo-enzymatic synthesis and biological profiling of a library of bridged bicyclic compounds
-
A major reason for the low success rate in current drug development through chemical synthesis has been ascribed to the large fraction of quasi planar candidate molecules. Therefore, an "escape from flatland" strategy has been recommended for the generation of bioactive chemical entities. In a first attempt to test this recommendation, we synthesized a small collection of bridged bicyclic compounds possessing a rigid spherical core structure by combining a group of cyclic dienes with a collection of dienophiles. We started from planar biphenyl analogues and, by enzymatic dioxygenation, transformed them into hydroxylated diene structures. Using a small library of newly synthesized dienophiles, the dienes were converted into bridged bicycles via the Diels-Alder reaction. The resulting collection of 78 structures was first tested for bioactivity in a generic assay based on interference with the proliferation of mammalian cells. A more mechanism-targeted bioactivity profiling method, exploiting cellular impedance monitoring, was subsequently used to obtain suggestions for the mode of action exerted by those compounds that were the most active in the proliferation assay. Proteasome inhibition could be confirmed for 8 of a series of 9 respective candidates. Whilst 7 of these molecules showed relatively weak interference with proteasome activity, one candidate exerted a moderate but distinct inhibition. This result appears remarkable in view of the small size of the compound library, which was synthesized following a few basic considerations. It encourages the application of diverse synthetic approaches to further investigate the role of spherical shape for the success of compound libraries.

- Potent Nematicidal Activity of Maleimide Derivatives on Meloidogyne incognita
-
Different maleimide derivatives were synthesized and assayed for their in vitro activity on the soil inhabiting, plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne incognita, also known as root-knot nematode. The compounds maleimide, N-ethylmaleimide, N-isopropylmaleimide, and N-isobutylmaleimide showed the strongest nematicidal activity on the second stage juveniles of the root-knot nematode with EC50/72h values of 2.6 ± 1.3, 5.1 ± 3.4, 16.2 ± 5.4, and 19.0 ± 9.0 mg/L, respectively. We also determined the nematicidal activity of copper sulfate, finding an EC50 value of 48.6 ± 29.8 mg/L. When maleimide at 1 mg/L was tested in combination with copper sulfate at 50 mg/L, we observed 100% mortality of the nematodes. We performed a GC-MS metabolomics analysis after treating nematodes with maleimide at 8 mg/L for 24 h. This analysis revealed altered fatty acids and diglyceride metabolites such as oleic acid, palmitic acid, and 1-monopalmitin. Our results suggest that maleimide may be used as a new interesting building block for developing new nematicides in combination with copper salts.

An atom economic and facile synthesis of novel dispiro-oxindole-pyrrolidines has been achieved via a three-component tandem cycloaddition of azomethine ylide generated in situ from isatin and sarcosine by decarboxylative condensation with N-aryl-3-benzylidene-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione derivatives as dipolarophiles. The salient features of synthetic procedure are characterized by the mild reaction conditions, high yields, high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, one-pot procedure, and operational simplicity. This regioselectivity was assumed to be under the influence of π-π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of azomethine ylide and N-aryl-3-benzylidene-pyrrolidine-2,5-diones that further control the exo-endo selectivity of the reaction 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The regiochemistry and structures of the cycloadducts were determined with spectroscopic data.

- Visible light mediated cyclization of tertiary anilines with maleimides using nickel(II) oxide surface-modified titanium dioxide catalyst
-
Surface-modified titanium dioxides by highly dispersed NiO particles have an extended absorption in the visible light region and a reduced hole-electron pair recombination than unmodified TiO2. They have now been successfully applied as highly active heterogeneous photocatalysts in the visible light mediated direct cyclization of tertiary anilines with maleimides to give tetrahydroquinoline products in moderate to high yields at ambient temperature. In contrast with unmodified titanium dioxide catalysts that are conventionally used in a stoichiometric amount in combination with UVA light, only a catalytic amount (1 mol %) of the surface-modified TiO2 catalyst is needed along with visible light to efficiently catalyze the reaction. Compared with transition-metal complexes such as Ru(bpy)3Cl2 or Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)PF6, advantages of these surface-modified titanium dioxides as photocatalyst include high catalytic activity, low cost, ease of recovering, and being able to be used for at least nine times without significant decay of catalytic activity.

A new series of pyrrolo[3′,4′:3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]furoquinolines/ phenanthrolines and pyrrolo[1,2-a]phenanthrolines were efficiently built up from an 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative or phenanthroline via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction involving non-stabilized azomethine ylides, generated in situ from the parent furo[3,2-h]quinoliniums/phenanthroliums, in presence of a copper(II) chloride-phenanthroline catalytic system. The methodology combines general applicability with high yields.

- An expeditious synthesis of imides from phthalic, maleic and succinic anhydrides and chemoselective C=C reduction of maleic amide esters
-
Phthalic, maleic and succinic anhydrides have been reacted with aromatic amines to obtain the corresponding monoacid monoamides. The latter have been each transformed into the corresponding cyclic imide derivatives by treating with SOCl2. Alternatively, anhydrides have been reacted with methanolic KOH to obtain monomethyl ester derivatives which on reaction with aromatic amines in the presence of EDC. HCl and HOBt give cyclic imide derivatives. Reaction of monoacid monoamides independently, with SOCl 2 at 0-5°C give the monoamide monoester derivatives. Treatment of monoamide monoester of malic anhydride with NaBH4 leads to the unusual reduction of C=C grouping as well as the carbonyl group of the ester group to from monoamide monoalcohol of succinic anhydride. Preparation of monoamide monoalcohol of succinic anhydride can also be achieved by chemoselective reduction of monoamide monoester of malic anhydride with Mg turnings yielding monoamide monoester of succinic anhydride followed by reduction of the latter with NaBH4.

-
The synthesis of some biologically interesting pyrrolo-isoxazolidine derivatives was accomplished by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of substituted azomethine N-oxides 1 with substituted N-aryl maleimides 2 leading to the formation of new stereoisomeric 2,3,5-triaryl-4H,2,3,3a,5,6,6a- hexahydropyrrolo[3,4-d]isoxazole-4,6-dione derivatives 3 in excellent yields. The synthesized compounds have been screened for their advanced glycation end (AGE) product formation inhibitory activity on the basis of their ability to inhibit the formation of AGEs in the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-glucose assay. All the synthesized compounds have been found to exhibit significant activity against AGE formation.

- A facile and green synthesis of N-substituted imides
-
Anhydrides 1, 6 and 10 have been reacted, independently, with aromatic primary amines 2 in solid phase by simple physical grinding of reactants with p-toluenesulphonicacid as a catalyst to yield corresponding open chain derivatives, monoacid monoamides3,7 and 11 respectively. The latter have each been transformed into the corresponding cyclic derivatives, i.e. imides 5, 9 and 13 respectively in solid phase by simple physical grinding of each with K 2CO3, alkylating agent and tetrabutylammoniumbromide as a catalyst with short reaction times. These cyclic imides can also be obtained by physical grinding of each of 3, 7 and 11 with dicyclohexylcarbodimide as a dehydrating agent in solid phase.

- Chemical reactivity and antimicrobial activity of N-substituted maleimides
-
Several N-substituted maleimides containing substituents of varying bulkiness and polarity were synthesised and tested for antimicrobial and cytostatic activity. Neutral maleimides displayed relatively strong antifungal effect minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs in the 0.54 g ml-1 range); their antibacterial activity was structure dependent and all were highly cytostatic, with IC50 values below 0.1 g ml-1. Low antimicrobial but high cytostatic activity was noted for basic maleimides containing tertiary aminoalkyl substituents. Chemical reactivity and lipophilicity influenced antibacterial activity of neutral maleimides but had little if any effect on their antifungal and cytostatic action. N-substituted maleimides affected biosynthesis of chitin and β(1,3)glucan, components of the fungal cell wall. The membrane enzyme, β(1,3)glucan synthase has been proposed as a putative primary target of N-ethylmaleimide and some of its analogues in Candida albicans cells.

- Substituent effects on the regioselectivity of maleamic acid formation and hydrogen chloride addition to N-aryl maleimides
-
Itaconic anhydride reacts with aryl amines to give a substituent controlled equilibrium mixture of regioisomeric (Z)-2-methyl- and (Z)-3-methyl-4-oxo-4- (arylamino)but-2-enoic acids. Electron-donating groups favor nucleophilic attack on C-5 carbonyl, while the presence of electron-withdrawing groups enhances the bias for attack on C-2 carbonyl. The treatment of (Z)-2-methyl- and (Z)-3-methyl-4-oxo-4-(arylamino)but-2-enoic acids with SOCl2-Et 3N in THF provided the corresponding maleimides in high yields while under the same conditions the maleic anhydride aryl amine addition products gave predominately the corresponding 3-chloro-1-arylpyrrolidine-2,5-diones and maleimides in substituent dependent ratio.

- Antifungal, cytotoxic and SAR studies of a series of N-alkyl, N-aryl and N-alkylphenyl-1,4-pyrrolediones and related compounds
-
The synthesis, in vitro evaluation and SAR studies of 67 maleimides and derivatives acting as antifungal agents are reported. A detailed SAR study supported by theoretical calculations led us to determine that: an intact maleimido ring appears to be necessary for a strong antifungal activity, dissimilarly affected by the substituents in positions 2 and 3. The best activities were shown by 2,3-nonsubstituted followed by 2,3 dichloro- and 2-methyl-substituted maleimides. They all were fungicide rather than fungistatic enhancing the importance of their antifungal activity. 2,3-Dimethyl and 2,3-diphenyl-maleimides possessed marginal or null activity. The presence of a flexible connecting chain in N-phenylalkyl maleimides appears not to be essential for antifungal activity, although its length shows a correlation with the antifungal behavior, displaying maleimides with alkyl chains of n = 3 and n = 4 the best antifungal activities in most fungi. Different substituents on the benzene ring did not have a clear influence on the activity. Values of chemical potential properties as well as of energy do not sufficiently discriminate between active and inactive compounds. Nevertheless, it was found that, although log P alone is not strong enough to properly predict the antifungal activity, the comparison of its values for compounds within the same sub-type, showed an enhancement of antifungal activity along with an increment of lipophilicity. In addition, the LUMO's electronic clouds of the highly active compounds showed to be concentrated on the imido ring, indicating that their carbon atoms are potential sites for nucleophilic attack. Same results were obtained from MEPs. Most of the active compounds did not show cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines and no one possessed hemolytic activity, indicating that their activity is selective to pathogenic fungi and that they are not toxic at MIC concentrations.

- Microwave-assisted synthesis and structure-activity relationships of neuroactive pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridine derivatives
-
We described herein the optimization of the synthetic methodology exploited to obtain the pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridine sedative prototype 1a and novel analogues designed by successive molecular simplifications. By applying microwave irradiation during the hetero Diels-Alder key-step to obtain the heterotricyclic scaffold, under solvent-free conditions, we were able to obtain the desired compounds in drastically shorter times and better yields. Additionally, in vivo evaluation of the sedative effects of these heterocyclic derivatives showed that 1a and the novel structurally-related analogue 1e were the most efficient compounds to impair the locomotor activity in mice at the dose of 10 μmol/kg.

- Derivatives of aryl amines containing the cytotoxic 1,4-dioxo-2-butenyl pharmacophore
-
Several series of compounds containing the 1,4-dioxo-2-butenyl moiety have been prepared as candidate cytotoxins, including the methyl N-arylmaleamates, methyl N-arylfumaramates, and N-arylmaleimides. In addition, the N-arylisomaleimides were synthesized which are the structural isomers of N-arylmaleimides. These compounds were evaluated against human Molt 4/C8 and CEM T-lymphocytes as well as murine L1210 cells. Methyl N-arylfumaramates showed the highest cytotoxic potencies and, in particular, methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)fumaramate is six times more potent than melphalan towards L1210 cells and is equipotent with this drug in the Molt 4/C8 assay. Electrophilicity of compounds under investigation was demonstrated by carrying out thiolation using model benzyl mercaptan on representative compounds. Methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)fumaramate and methyl N-(4-chlorophenyl)maleamate inhibited human N-myristoyltransferase, a possible molecular target, in high micromolar range. QSAR and molecular modeling revealed some correlations between different structural features of a number of the molecules and cytotoxic potencies. Methyl N-arylfumaramates were well tolerated in mice in comparison to the analogs in other series of compounds tested. The data obtained in this investigation affords guidelines for preparing new series of molecules with greater potencies.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Variously substituted 2-vinylpyrroles underwent an endo-addition [4+2] cycloaddition reaction with maleimides followed by a spontaneous highly diastereoselective (93-98% de) isomerization to give tetrahydroindoles in moderate to excellent yield. Treatment with activated MnO2 in refluxing toluene provided the corresponding indoles in moderate to good yield. This highly convergent methodology for formation of indoles is versatile and the starting materials are conveniently prepared.

- Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of N-substituted maleimide derivatives as selective monoglyceride lipase inhibitors
-
The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) plays a major role in many physiological processes, and its action is quickly terminated via enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by monoglyceride lipase (MGL). Regulating its endogenous level could offer therapeutic opportunities; however, few selective MGL inhibitors have been described so far. Here, we describe the synthesis of N-substituted maleimides and their pharmacological evaluation on the recombinant human fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and on the purified human MGL. A few N-arylmaleimides were previously described (Saario, S. M.; Salo, O. M.; Nevalainen, T.; Poso, A.; Laitinen, J. T.; Jarvinen, T.; Niemi, R. Characterization of the Sulfhydryl-Sensitive Site in the Enzyme Responsible for Hydrolysis of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in Rat Cerebellar Membranes. Chem. Biol. 2005, 12, 649-656) as MGL inhibitors, and along these lines, we present a new set of maleimide derivatives that showed low micromolar IC50 and high selectivity toward MGL vs FAAH. Then, structure-activity relationships have been investigated and, for instance, 1-biphenyl-4-ylmethylmaleimide inhibits MGL with an IC50 value of 790 nM. Furthermore, rapid dilution experiments reveal that these compounds act as irreversible inhibitors. In conclusion, N-substituted maleimides constitute a promising class of potent and selective MGL inhibitors.
