The present invention provides compounds useful as inhibitors of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), compositions thereof, and methods of using the same.

A high-throughput screen for inhibitors of the histone acetyltransferase, KAT6A, led to identification of an aryl sulfonohydrazide derivative (CTX-0124143) that inhibited KAT6A with an IC50 of 1.0 μM. Elaboration of the structure-activity relationship and medicinal chemistry optimization led to the discovery of WM-8014 (97), a highly potent inhibitor of KAT6A (IC50 = 0.008 μM). WM-8014 competes with acetyl-CoA (Ac-CoA), and X-ray crystallographic analysis demonstrated binding to the Ac-CoA binding site. Through inhibition of KAT6A activity, WM-8014 induces cellular senescence and represents a unique pharmacological tool.

Compound of formula (I) wherein A is selected from (i), where RF1 is H or F; (ii); (iii) a N-containing C6 heteroaryl group; and B is (B), where X1 is either CRF2 or N, where RF2 is H or F; X2 is either CR3 or N, where R3 is selected from H, Me, CI, F OMe; X3 is either CH or N; X4 is either CRF3 or N, where RF3 is H or F; where only one or two of X1, X2, X3 and X4 may be N; and R4 is selected from I, optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted C5-6 heteroaryl; optionally substituted C1-6 aIkyI and optionally substituted C1-6 alkoxy, which are useful in the treatment of a condition ameliorated by the inhibition of MOZ.

A compound of formula (III): or a salt, solvate and chemically protected form thereof, wherein: R5 is an optionally substituted C5-20 aryl or C4-20alkyl group; L′ is a single bond, —O— or —C(═O)—; A is selected from the group consisting of: formulae (i) (ii) (iii) wherein X and Y are selected from the group consisting of: O and CR3; S and CR3; NH and CR3; NH and N; O and N; S and N; N and S; and N and O, and where the dotted lines indicate a double bond in the appropriate location, and where Q is either N or CH; D is selected from: formulae (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vii) (viii) (ix) B is selected from the group consisting of: formulae (A) (B) where RP6 is selected from fluoro and chloro; and R2 is either: (i) —CO2H; (ii) —CONH2; (iii) —CH2—OH; or (iv) tetrazol-5-yl.

Compounds of formula (I), wherein D, Ar1, E and Ar2 are as defined in the specification, processes for preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, especially in the treatment or prophylaxis of psychotic and intell

In water and without using any ligand, palladium charcoal-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction of tetraarylborates with aryl bromides could be achieved in excellent yield. A concise mechanism consisting of four catalytic cycles is depicted in this paper.

Efficient syntheses of naphtho- and biaryl-fused 1,8-diaza-14-crown-4 macrocycles 4a, 4b, 7a, and 7b and related oligomeric systems 11 and 15 are described.An X-ray structure determination for the N,N-dicyanomethyl substituted macrocycle 8 is reported.

Many para-substituted fluorobenzenes can be lithiated ortho to fluorine in moderate to good yields, often with one of the dialkylamide bases, lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) or lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP). Intramolecular competition experiments reveal that fluorine is one of the most potent Dir-Met activating groups under these conditions.
