- Concise preparation of novel tricyclic chemotypes: Fused hydantoin-benzodiazepines
-
The following article describes a concise synthesis of a collection of 4,5-dihydro-1H-benzo[e][1,4]diazepines fused to a hydantoin ring. Molecular complexity and biological relevance are high and structures are generated in a mere three steps, employing the Ugi reaction to assemble diversity reagents. The protocol represents a novel UDC (Ugi-deprotect-cyclize) strategy employed in the Ugi-5-component CO2-mediated condensation, followed by further cyclization under basic conditions, to afford the fused hydantoin. Mechanistic caveats, dependent on the aldehydes of choice will be revealed and a facile oxidation of the final products to imidazolidenetriones is briefly discussed.

- HISTONE LYSINE DEMETHYLASE INHIBITORS
-
The invention provides a compound which is an iV-oxalylglycine derivative of formula (I): a hydroxamic acid derivative of formula (II): or a heteroaryl derivative of fomula (III): wherein n; Z1; Z2; Y1; Y2; A; p; X1; X2; m; R4; B; R5; R6; R7; R8; R9; X3; R10; R11 and R12 are as defined herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. These compounds are inhibitors of the human 2-oxoglutarate-dependant JMJD2 subfamily of histone demethylases, in particular JMJD2E. Such inhibitors are useful in changing the epigenetic state of cells resulting in the inhibition / activation of chromatin remodelling, multiple gene activation / deactivation, and in treating cancer and other conditions characterised by undesirable cellular proliferation, and psychiatric disorders including depression.
