- A facile one-pot synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazole derivatives using hydroxy (tosyloxy) iodobenzene
-
Hydroxy (tosyloxy) iodobenzene (HTIB), a hypervalent iodine reagent, has been extensively used for oxidative transformations. We have developed a one-pot synthesis wherein aldoximes when reacted with alkynes in the presence of HTIB result in the direct formation of isoxazoles. This simple and straightforward reaction allows for ease of purification while leading to the formation of high purity 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles in moderate yields.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of isoxazole, oxazole, and oxadiazole containing heteroaryl analogs of biaryl ureas as DGAT1 inhibitors
-
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase, DGAT1, is a promising target enzyme for obesity due to its involvement in the committed step of triglyceride biosynthesis. Amino biphenyl carboxylic acids, exemplified by compound 4, are known potent inhibitors of hDGAT1. However the high cLogP and poor solubility of these biphenyl analogs might tend to limit their development. We have synthesized and evaluated compounds containing 3-phenylisoxazole, 5-phenyloxazole, and 3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole biaryl units for their hDGAT1 inhibition. Our aim in synthesizing such heterocyclic analogs was to improve the cLogP and solubility of these molecules while retaining hDGAT1 potency. Several compounds within the 3-phenylisoxazole series exhibited potent hDGAT1 inhibition when evaluated using an in vitro enzymatic assay. Certain promising compounds were studied for their potential to reduce triglyceride levels using an in vivo fat tolerance test in mice and were also evaluated for any possible improvement to their solubility. Compound 40a (IC50 = 64 nM) with an in vivo plasma triglyceride reduction of 90 percent, and a solubility of 0.43 mg/ml at pH 7.4 may serve as a new lead for developing newer anti-obesity agents.
