The human androgen receptor (AR) is considered as a master regulator in the development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). As resistance to clinically used anti-AR drugs remains a major challenge for the treatment of advanced PCa, there is a pressing need for new anti-AR therapeutic avenues. In this study, we identified a binding site on the DNA binding domain (DBD) of the receptor and utilized virtual screening to discover a set of micromolar hits for the target. Through further exploration of the most potent hit (1), a structural analogue (6) was identified demonstrating 10-fold improved anti-AR potency. Further optimization resulted in a more potent synthetic analogue (25) with anti-AR potency comparable to a newly FDA-approved drug Enzalutamide. Site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that the developed inhibitors do interact with the intended target site. Importantly, the AR DBD inhibitors could effectively inhibit the growth of Enzalutamide-resistant cells as well as block the transcriptional activity of constitutively active AR splice variants, such as V7.
Synthesis of α,β-dibromo ketones by photolysis of α-bromo ketones with N-bromosuccinimide: Photoinduced β-bromination of α-bromo ketones

Irradiation of α-bromopropiophenones in the presence of NBS results in the formation of α,β-dibromopropiophenones, which can be viewed as β-bromination of α-bromopropiophenones. The reaction is believed to go through a series of reactions; photoinduced C–Br bond cleavage, elimination of HBr to give α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediates, and addition of Br2, which are formed by the reaction between HBr and NBS. From mechanistic studies of the reaction, we have also found a very convenient method for α-debromination of the α,β-dibromopropiophenones which is by simple irradiation of the dibromo ketones in acetone or 2-propanol without the use of any additives. Our results demonstrate that bromine can be added into or eliminated from the alpha, beta, or both positions to the carbonyl group by photochemical methods, which make synthetic options of bromine containing carbonyl compounds versatile.
Fe-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of Aryl Allenyl Ketones: Access to 3-Arylidene-indan-1-ones

A cycloisomerization of aryl allenyl ketones to 3-arylidene-indan-1-ones using a cationic Fe-complex as a catalyst is reported. The catalyst opens a synthetically interesting reaction pathway to this surprisingly underrepresented class of indanones that are not accessible using alternative catalytic systems.
Solvent free, light induced 1,2-bromine shift reaction of α-bromo ketones

Photolysis of α-bromopropiophenones in acetonitrile results in formation of β-bromopropiophenones with good product selectivity, which can be coined as 1,2-Br shift reaction. The product selectivity increases when the reaction is done in neat or solid state, where only the 1,2-Br shift product is formed in some cases. The reaction is suggested to proceed by C–Br bond homolysis to give a radical pair, followed by disproportionation and conjugate addition of HBr to the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediate. When the unsaturated intermediate is stabilized by an extra conjugation, the reaction stops at the stage, in which the unsaturated ketone becomes a major product. The synthetic method described in this research fits in a category of eco-friendly organic synthesis nicely since the reaction does not use volatile organic solvents and any other additives such as acid, base or metal catalysts, etc. Besides, the method fits into perfect atom economy, which does not give any side products. The synthetic method should find much advantage over other alternative methods to obtain β-bromo carbonyl compounds.

Acid-mediated cyclization of 3-benzoyl-2-cyanobutyronitrile to 2-amino-4-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-carbonitrile

Cyclization of 3-benzoyl-2-cyanobutyronitrile to 2-amino-4-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-carbonitrile was effected under acidic conditions, rather than the basic conditions previously reported. Since treatment with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at room temperature is very mild, 2-amino-4-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-carbonitriles containing various functional groups can be accessed via this route.
Diminished reactivity of ortho-substituted phenacyl bromides toward nucleophilic displacement
Kalendra, Diane M.,Sickles, Barry R.
, p. 1594 - 1596 (2007/10/03)
A systematic increase of substitution rates by tert-butylamine on α-bromopropiophenones is observed with meta or para substituents with increasing electron-withdrawing ability (k x 103 L M-1 min-1 = 12.7 (p-CH3), 15.7 (o-F), 20.5 (H), 20.0 (p-Cl), 23.6 (m-Cl), 27.3 (p-CF3)). Within an ortho-substituted series, the reactivities decrease (k x 103 L M-1 min-1 = 7.64 (o-OCH3), 5.31 (o-CH3), 2.85 (o-Cl), 2.40 (o-CF3)). Ortho-substitution results occur from rotational barrier effects and an Aδσ + Bδσ + repulsion. The major bonding contribution between reaction and α-substituent centers (A-B) is only the σ bond. When π bonding is allowed between A and B (meta/para-substitution), delocalization and stabilization of the reacting center occurs.
