- Synthesis of some fluorine-containing pyridinealdoximes of potential use for the treatment of organophosphorus nerve-agent poisoning
-
Fluoroheterocyclic aldoximes were screened as therapeutic agents for the treatment of anticholinesterase poisoning. 2-Fluoropyridine-3- and -6-aldoxime, and 3-fluoropyridine-2- and -4-aldoxime, were synthesised. Attempts to obtain 3,5,6-trifluoropyridine-2,4-bis(aldoxime) and -2-aldoxime, however, proved unsuccessful. Pentafluorobenzaldoxime was prepared by oximation of pentafluorobenzaldehyde. Acid dissociation constants (pKa) and second-order rate constants (kox-) of the fluorinated pyridinealdoximes towards sarin were measured. 2,3,5,6-Tetrafluoropyridine-4- aldoxime had the best profile: its kox- approached that of the therapeutic oxime P2S (310 vs. 120 l mol-1 min-1), but its higher pKa (9.1 vs. 7.8) fell short of the target figure of 8 required for reactivation of inhibited acetylcholinesterase in vivo. N-alkylation of the fluorinated pyridine-aldoximes may reduce their pK a nearer to 8 and enhance their therapeutic potential. Crown Copyright

- 2-PHENYLPYRIDIN-4-YL DERIVATIVES AS ALK5 INHIBITORS
-
This invention relates to novel 2-phenylpyridin-4-yl heterocyclyl derivatives which are inhibitors of the transforming growth factor, ("TGF")-? signalling pathway, in particular, the phosphorylation of smad2 or smad3 by the TGF-β type I or activin-like kinase ("ALK")-5 receptor, methods for their preparation and their use in medicine, specifically in the treatment and prevention of a disease state mediated by this pathway.
