The first generation of CB1 positive allosteric modulators (e.g., ZCZ011) featured a 3-nitroalkyl-2-phenyl-indole structure. Although a small number of drugs include the nitro group, it is generally not regarded as being "drug-like", and this is particularly true for aliphatic nitro groups. There are very few case studies where an appropriate bioisostere replaced a nitro group that had a direct role in binding. This may be indicative of the difficulty of replicating its binding interactions. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of ligands targeting the allosteric binding site on the CB1 cannabinoid receptor, in which a CF3 group successfully replaced the aliphatic NO2. In general, the CF3-bearing compounds were more potent than their NO2 equivalents and also showed improved in vitro metabolic stability. The CF3 analogue (1) with the best balance of properties was selected for further pharmacological evaluation. Pilot in vivo studies showed that (±)-1 has similar activity to (±)-ZCZ011, with both showing promising efficacy in a mouse model of neuropathic pain.
Synthetic method of aryl halide taking aryl carboxylic acid as raw material

Paragraph 0079, (2018/01/03)
A synthetic method of an aryl halide taking aryl carboxylic acid as a raw material is characterized in that a corresponding aryl halide is formed by carrying out substitution reaction on an aryl carboxylic acid compound and haloid salt MX in an organic solvent under the condition that oxygen, a silver catalyst, a copper additive and a bidentate nitrogen ligand exist, wherein M in MX represents alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, and X represents F, Cl, Br or I. Compared with a conventional aryl halide synthetic method, the synthetic method disclosed by the invention has the obvious advantages that reaction raw materials (comprising aryl carboxylic acid and MX) are cheap and easy to obtain, the using amount of a metal catalyst is small, pollution to the environment when the oxygen is used as an oxidant is the smallest, good tolerance to various functional groups on an aromatic ring is obtained, the yield is high, and the like. The synthetic method disclosed by the invention can be widely applied to synthesis in the fields of medicine, materials, natural products and the like in industry and academia.

Simple strategies for decarboxylative functionalizations of electron-deficient benzoic acids via using Cu(I) as promoter and electron-rich ones by employing Pd(II) as catalyst under aerobic conditions have been established, which lead to smooth synthesis of aryl halides (-I, Br, and Cl) through the decarboxylative functionalization of benzoic acids with readily available halogen sources CuX (X = I, Br, Cl), and easy preparation of benzonitriles from decarboxylative cyanation of aryl carboxylic acids with nontoxic and low-cost K4Fe(CN)6 under an oxygen atmosphere for the first time.
