- Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of the Highly Selective and Potent G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Inhibitor for the Potential Treatment of Heart Failure
-
A novel class of therapeutic drug candidates for heart failure, highly potent and selective GRK2 inhibitors, exhibit potentiation of β-adrenergic signaling in vitro studies. Hydrazone derivative 5 and 1,2,4-triazole derivative 24a were identified as hit compounds by HTS. New scaffold generation and SAR studies of all parts resulted in a 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole derivative with an N-benzylcarboxamide moiety with highly potent activity toward GRK2 and selectivity over other kinases. In terms of subtype selectivity, these compounds showed enough selectivity against GRK1, 5, 6, and 7 with almost equipotent inhibition to GRK3. Our medicinal chemistry efforts led to the discovery of 115h (GRK2 IC50 = 18 nM), which was obtained the cocrystal structure with human GRK2 and an inhibitor of GRK2 that potentiates β-adrenergic receptor (βAR)-mediated cAMP accumulation and prevents internalization of βARs in β2AR-expressing HEK293 cells treated with isoproterenol. Therefore, 115h appears to be a novel class of therapeutic for heart failure treatment.

- NOVEL CARBOCYCLIC COMPOUNDS AS ROR GAMMA MODULATORS
-
The present disclosure is directed to novel carbocyclic compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, Ra, Rb, n, m and p are as defined herein, which are active as modulators of retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt). These compounds prevent, inhibit, or suppress the action of RORγt and are therefore useful in the treatment of RORγt mediated diseases, disorders, syndromes or conditions such as, e.g., pain, inflammation, COPD, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.

- Direct microwave promoted trifluoroacetylation of aromatic amines with trifluoroacetic acid
-
A simple microwave-promoted procedure has been developed for the direct preparation of trifluoroacetanilides. An equimolar mixture of substituted anilines and trifluoroacetic acid was microwave irradiated at short reaction times, giving the corresponding anilides in high yields and purity.

- A new, convenient and selective 4-dimethylaminopyridine-catalyzed trifluoroacetylation of anilines with ethyl trifluoroacetate
-
A new, convenient, and selective 4-dimethylaminopyridine-catalyzed trifluoroacetylation of anilines with ethyl trifluoroacetate is described. Anilines, containing other functional groups, e.g. alcohols, phenols, hindered secondary amines, and secondary anilines, are also selectively trifluoroacetylated in high yields under these newly developed conditions.
