- Fragment and Structure-Based Drug Discovery for a Class C GPCR: Discovery of the mGlu5 Negative Allosteric Modulator HTL14242 (3-Chloro-5-[6-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl]benzonitrile)
-
Fragment screening of a thermostabilized mGlu5 receptor using a high-concentration radioligand binding assay enabled the identification of moderate affinity, high ligand efficiency (LE) pyrimidine hit 5. Subsequent optimization using structure-based drug discovery methods led to the selection of 25, HTL14242, as an advanced lead compound for further development. Structures of the stabilized mGlu5 receptor complexed with 25 and another molecule in the series, 14, were determined at resolutions of 2.6 and 3.1 ?, respectively. (Figure Presented).

- Tuning spin-crossover transition temperatures in non-symmetrical homoleptic meridional/facial [Fe(didentate)3]2+complexes: what for and who cares about it?
-
The [FeN6] chromophores found in [Fe(didentate)3]2+complexes, where didentate is a non-symmetrical 2-(6-membered-heterocyclic ring)-benzimidazole ligand (Lk), exist as mixtures of two geometricalmer(C1-symmetry) andfac(C3-symmetry) isomers. Specific alkyl-substituted six-membered heterocyclic rings connected to the benzimidazole unit (pyridines in ligandsL1-L3, pyrazines inL4-L5and pyrimidines inL6-L7) control the ligand field strength and the electron delocalization so that [FeII(Lk)3]2+display tunable thermally-induced spin transitions in solution. Thermodynamic, spectroscopic (UV-Vis, NMR) and magnetic studies in solution demonstrate that [Fe(L6)3]2+(L6= 1-methyl-2-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole) exhibits a close to room temperature spin transition (T1/2= 273(3) K) combined with a high stability formation constant n acetonitrile), which makes this complex suitable for the potential modulation of lanthanide-based luminescence in polymetallic helicates. A novel method is proposed for assigning specific thermodynamic spin crossover parameters tofac-[Fe(L6)3]2+andmer-[Fe(L6)3]2+isomers in solution. The observed difference relies mainly on the entropic content ΔSmerSCO? ΔSfacSCO= 11(1) J mol?1K?1, which favors the spin transition for the meridional isomer. Intermolecular interactions occurring in the crystalline state largely overcome minor thermodynamic trends operating in diluted solutions and a single configurational isomer is usually observed in the solid state. Among the thirteen solved crystal structures1-13containing the [M(Lk)3]2+cations (M = Fe, Ni, Zn,Lk=L6-L7), pure meridional isomers are observed six times, pure facial isomers also six times and a mixture (44%merand 56%fac) is detected only once. Solid-state magnetic data recorded for the FeIIcomplexes show the operation of slightly cooperative spin transitions in7(fac-[Fe(L6)3]2+) and12(mer-[Fe(L7)3]2+). For the meridional isomer in6, a two-step spin state transition curve, associated with two phase transitions, is detected.

- Copper-Catalyzed Electrochemical C-H Amination of Arenes with Secondary Amines
-
Electrochemical oxidation represents an environmentally friendly solution to conventional methods that require caustic stoichiometric chemical oxidants. However, C-H functionalizations merging transition-metal catalysis and electrochemical techniques are, to date, largely confined to the use of precious metals and divided cells. Herein, we report the first examples of copper-catalyzed electrochemical C-H aminations of arenes at room temperature using undivided electrochemical cells, thereby providing a practical solution for the construction of arylamines. The use of n-Bu4NI as a redox mediator is crucial for this transformation. On the basis of mechanistic studies including kinetic profiles, isotope effects, cyclic voltammetric analyses, and radical inhibition experiments, the reaction appears to proceed via a single-electron-transfer (SET) process, and a high valent Cu(III) species is likely involved. These findings provide a new avenue for transition-metal-catalyzed electrochemical C-H functionalization reactions using redox mediators.

- Discovery and Optimization of Chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrol-9(2H)-ones as Novel Selective and Orally Bioavailable Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
-
Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors have been used as clinical agents to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Herein, we detail the discovery of a novel series of chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrol-9(2H)-one derivatives as selective and orally bioavailable inhibitors against phosphodiesterase 5. Medicinal chemistry optimization resulted in 2, which exhibits a desirable inhibitory potency of 5.6 nM with remarkable selectivity as well as excellent pharmacokinetic properties and an oral bioavailability of 63.4%. In addition, oral administration of 2 at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg caused better pharmacodynamics effects on both mPAP (mean pulmonary artery pressure) and RVHI (index of right ventricle hypertrophy) than sildenafil citrate at a dose of 10.0 mg/kg. These activities along with its reasonable druglike properties, such as human liver microsomal stability, cytochrome inhibition, hERG inhibition, and pharmacological safety, indicate that 2 is a potential candidate for the treatment of PAH.

- Electron-deficient heteroarenium salts: An organocatalytic tool for activation of hydrogen peroxide in oxidations
-
A series of monosubstituted pyrimidinium and pyrazinium triflates and 3,5-disubstituted pyridinium triflates were prepared and tested as simple catalysts of oxidations with hydrogen peroxide, using sulfoxidation as a model reaction. Their catalytic efficiency strongly depends on the type of substituent and is remarkable for derivatives with an electron-withdrawing group, showing reactivity comparable to that of flavinium salts which are the prominent organocatalysts for oxygenations. Because of their high stability and good accessibility, 4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidinium and 3,5-dinitropyridinium triflates are the catalysts of choice and were shown to catalyze oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic sulfides to sulfoxides, giving quantitative conversions, high preparative yields and excellent chemoselectivity. The high efficiency of electron-poor heteroarenium salts is rationalized by their ability to readily form adducts with nucleophiles, as documented by low pKR+ values (pKR+ red > -0.5 V). Hydrogen peroxide adducts formed in situ during catalytic oxidation act as substrate oxidizing agents. The Gibbs free energies of oxygen transfer from these heterocyclic hydroperoxides to thioanisole, obtained by calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++g(d,p) level, showed that they are much stronger oxidizing agents than alkyl hydroperoxides and in some cases are almost comparable to derivatives of flavin hydroperoxide acting as oxidizing agents in monooxygenases.

- Spirocyclic dihydropyridines by electrophile-induced dearomatizing cyclization of N-alkenyl pyridinecarboxamides
-
On treatment with acylating or sulfonylating agents, N-alkenyl pyridine carboxamides (N-pyridinecarbonyl enamines) undergo a dearomatizing cyclization initiated by pyridine acylation and followed by intramolecular trapping of the resulting pyridinium cation. The products are spirocyclic dihydropyridines which may be further elaborated to spirocyclic heterocycles with drug-like features.

- Novel tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]isoindolone derivatives (valmerins): Potent cyclin-dependent kinase/glycogen synthase kinase 3 inhibitors with antiproliferative activities and antitumor effects in human tumor xenografts
-
The development of CDK and GSK3 inhibitors has been regarded as a potential therapeutic approach, and a substantial number of diverse structures have been reported to inhibit CDKs and GSK-3β in recent years. Only a few molecules have gone through or are currently undergoing clinical trials as CDK and GSK inhibitors. In this paper, we prepared valmerins, a new family containing the tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]isoindone core. The fused heterocycle was prepared with a straightforward synthesis that was functionalized by a (het)arylurea. Twelve valmerins inhibited the CDK5 and GSK3 with an IC50 100 nM. A semiquantitative kinase scoring was realized, and a cellular screening was done. At the end of our study, we investigated the in vivo potency of one valmerin. Mice exhibited good tolerance to our lead, which proved its efficacy and clearly blocked tumor growth. Valmerins appear also as good candidates for further development as anticancer agents.

- Stacking interactions between nitrogen-containing six-membered heterocyclic aromatic rings and substituted benzene: Studies in solution and in the solid state
-
(Figure Presented) The stacking interactions between an aromatic ring and a pyridine or a pyrimidine ring are studied by using a series of triptycene-derived scaffolds. The indicative ratios of the syn and anti conformers were determined by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. The syn conformer aligns the attached aromatic ring and the heterocycle in a parallel-displaced orientation while the anti conformer sets the two rings apart from each other. Comparing to the corresponding control compounds where a benzene ring is in the position of the heterocycle, higher attractive interactions are observed as indicated by the higher syn/anti ratios. In general, the attractive interactions are much less sensitive to the substituent effects than the corresponding nonheterocycles. The greatest attractive interactions were observed between a pyrimidine ring and a N,N- dimethylaminobenzene, consistent with a predominant donor-acceptor interaction. The interactions between a pyridine ring and a substituted benzene ring show that the pyridine is comparable to that of a NO2- or a CN-substituted benzene ring except for the unpredictable substituent effects.
