- Anti-metastatic Inhibitors of Lysyl Oxidase (LOX): Design and Structure-Activity Relationships
-
Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a secreted copper-dependent amine oxidase that cross-links collagens and elastin in the extracellular matrix and is a critical mediator of tumor growth and metastatic spread. LOX is a target for cancer therapy, and thus the search for therapeutic agents against LOX has been widely sought. We report herein the medicinal chemistry discovery of a series of LOX inhibitors bearing an aminomethylenethiophene (AMT) scaffold. High-throughput screening provided the initial hits. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies led to the discovery of AMT inhibitors with sub-micromolar half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) in a LOX enzyme activity assay. Further SAR optimization yielded the orally bioavailable LOX inhibitor CCT365623 with good anti-LOX potency, selectivity, pharmacokinetic properties, as well as anti-metastatic efficacy.

- METHYLAMINE DERIVATIVES AS LYSYSL OXIDASE INHIBITORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER
-
Provided are compounds of the Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein W, X, Y, Z, x, R1, R2, R3, x and n are defined in the specification. The compounds are inhibitors of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL) family members (LOXL1, LOXL2, LOXL3, LOXL4) and are useful in therapy, particularly in the treatment of cancer. Also disclosed are LOX inhibitors for use in the treatment of a cancer associated with EGFR and biomarkers that predict responsiveness to a LOX inhibitor.

- Directed Functionalization of Cyano-Substituted Furans and Thiophenes with TMPMgCl·LiCl
-
A number of novel difunctionalized furans and thiophenes has been prepared by the reaction of the cyano-substituted substrates with TMPMgCl·LiCl followed by the reaction with electrophiles. The crucial metalation step takes place under mild conditions allowing the isolation of desired derivatives in reasonable to good yields.

- Rhodium-catalyzed phenylthiolation reaction of heteroaromatic compounds using α-(phenylthio)isobutyrophenone
-
In the presence of catalytic amounts of RhH(PPh3)4 and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1,3-benzothiazoles, 1,3-benzoxazoles, and benzothiophene reacted with α-(phenylthio) isobutyrophenone giving 2-phenylthio derivatives. Reactive monocyclic heteroaromatics, 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazole and 2-cyanothiophene were also converted into the 5-phenylthio derivatives. The use of an appropriate phenylthio transfer reagent is crucial for the efficient catalyzed conversion of heteroaromatic C-H bonds into C-S bonds.
