- Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of First-in-Class Dual Acting Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) Inhibitors for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
-
Simultaneous inhibition of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) and histone deacetylases (HDAC) has recently been validated as a potentially novel therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease (AD). To further extend this concept, we designed and synthesized the first chemical series of dual acting PDE5 and HDAC inhibitors, and we validated this systems therapeutics approach. Following the implementation of structure- and knowledge-based approaches, initial hits were designed and were shown to validate our hypothesis of dual in vitro inhibition. Then, an optimization strategy was pursued to obtain a proper tool compound for in vivo testing in AD models. Initial hits were translated into molecules with adequate cellular functional responses (histone acetylation and cAMP/cGMP response element-binding (CREB) phosphorylation in the nanomolar range), an acceptable therapeutic window (>1 log unit), and the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, leading to the identification of 7 as a candidate for in vivo proof-of-concept testing (Cuadrado-Tejedor, M.; Garcia-Barroso, C.; Sánchez-Arias, J.

- Palladium-catalyzed sulfination of aryl and heteroaryl halides: Direct access to sulfones and sulfonamides
-
A novel palladium-catalyzed sulfination of aryl and heteroaryl halides is described. This reaction operates under mild conditions and provides access to a wide range of aryl and heteroaryl sulfinates, a useful and versatile class of synthetic intermediates. Capitalizing on this sulfination reaction, one-pot protocols allowing direct access to sulfones and sulfonamides have also been developed. The practicality of these transformations is illustrated with the parallel synthesis of analogues of the drug Viagra.
