- Palladium(II) complexes with a phosphino-oxime ligand: Synthesis, structure and applications to the catalytic rearrangement and dehydration of aldoximes
-
The treatment of [PdCl2(COD)] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with 1 and 2 equivalents of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde oxime in dichloromethane at room temperature led to the selective formation of [PdCl2{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CHNOH}] (1) and [Pd{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CHNOH}2][Cl]2 (2), respectively, which represent the first examples of Pd(II) complexes containing a phosphino-oxime ligand. These compounds, whose structures were fully confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods, were active in the catalytic rearrangement of aldoximes. In particular, using 5 mol% complex 1, a large variety of aldoximes could be cleanly converted into the corresponding primary amides at 100 °C, employing water as solvent and without the assistance of any cocatalyst. Palladium nanoparticles are the active species in the rearrangement process. In addition, when the same reactions were performed employing acetonitrile as solvent, selective dehydration of the aldoximes to form the respective nitriles was observed. For comparative purposes, the catalytic behaviour of an oxime-derived palladacyclic complex has also been briefly evaluated.

- TRIAZOLONE COMPOUNDS AS mPGES-1 INHIBITORS
-
The present disclosure is directed to compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as mPGES-1 inhibitors. These compounds are inhibitors of the microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) enzyme and are therefore useful in the treatment of pain and/or inflammation from a variety of diseases or conditions, such as asthma, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute or chronic pain and neurodegenerative diseases.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed rearrangement of aldoximes to primary amides in water
-
The rearrangement of aldoximes to primary amides has been studied using the readily available arene-ruthenium(II) complex [RuCl2(η 6-C6Me6){P(NMe2)3}] (5 mol %) as catalyst. Reactions proceeded cleanly in pure water at 100 °C without the assistance of any cocatalyst, affording the desired amides in high yields (70-90%) after short reaction times (1-7 h). The process was operative with both aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldoximes and tolerated several functional groups. Reaction profiles and experiments using 18O-labeled water indicate that two different mechanisms are implicated in these transformations. In both of them, nitrile intermediates are initially formed by dehydration of the aldoximes. These intermediates are then hydrated to the corresponding amides by the action of a second molecule of aldoxime or water. A kinetic analysis of the rearrangement of benzaldoxime to benzamide is also discussed.

- Tricyclic dihydroquinazolinones as novel 5-HT2C selective and orally efficacious anti-obesity agents
-
Agonists of the 5-HT2C receptor have been shown to suppress appetite and reduce body weight in animal models as well as in humans. However, agonism of the related 5-HT2B receptor has been associated with valvular heart disease. Synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel and highly selective dihydroquinazolinone-derived 5-HT2C agonists with no detectable agonism of the 5-HT2B receptor is described. Among these, compounds (+)-2a and (+)-3c were identified as potent and highly selective agonists which exhibited weight loss in a rat model upon oral dosing.

- Discovering potent small molecule inhibitors of cyclophilin A using de novo drug design approach
-
This work describes an integrated approach of de novo drug design, chemical synthesis, and bioassay for quick identification of a series of novel small molecule cyclophilin A (CypA) inhibitors (1-3). The activities of the two most potent CypA inhibitors (3h and 3i) are 2.59 and 1.52 nM, respectively, which are about 16 and 27 times more potent than that of cyclosporin A. This study clearly demonstrates the power of our de novo drug design strategy and the related program LigBuilder 2.0 in drug discovery.
