, p. 139 - 146 (2013)
A series of bromotetracenequinones 1 and bromotetracenes 2 were prepared from 4-bromophthalic anhydride. The parent tetracenequinone 1a and tetracene 2a were sparingly soluble in organic solvents. In contrast, dipropyl-substituted tetracenequinone 1b and
CYCLIC PEPTIDE ANALOGS OF MELANOCORTIN AND AMANITIN AND METHODS OF MAKING SUCH

Paragraph 0114; 0116-0117; 0123, (2021/01/29)
The invention described herein is based in part on the discovery of a protein/peptide crosslink, which introduces fluorescent properties, and which has been applied to synthesize analogues of melanocortin and amanitin as choice peptides to be explored in the context of isoindole peptides. Without limitation, it is expected that those trained in the art of peptide synthesis and stapling would appreciate the consequences of this invention such that other peptides of varied length can be similarly constrained by isoindole staples as featured herein.
Structure-Activity Studies with Bis-Amidines That Potentiate Gram-Positive Specific Antibiotics against Gram-Negative Pathogens

Pentamidine, an FDA-approved antiparasitic drug, was recently identified as an outer membrane disrupting synergist that potentiates erythromycin, rifampicin, and novobiocin against Gram-negative bacteria. The same study also described a preliminary structure-activity relationship using commercially available pentamidine analogues. We here report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a broader panel of bis-amidines inspired by pentamidine. The present study both validates the previously observed synergistic activity reported for pentamidine, while further assessing the capacity for structurally similar bis-amidines to also potentiate Gram-positive specific antibiotics against Gram-negative pathogens. Among the bis-amidines prepared, a number of them were found to exhibit synergistic activity greater than pentamidine. These synergists were shown to effectively potentiate the activity of Gram-positive specific antibiotics against multiple Gram-negative pathogens such as Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, including polymyxin- and carbapenem-resistant strains.

A compound of formula (I) given below or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound is useful as an IDO/TDO inhibitor. Thus, the compound of formula (I) or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound can be used as, for example, a therapeutic agent for a disease or a disorder selected from tumor, infectious disease, neurodegenerative disorder, cataract, organ transplant rejection, autoimmune disease, postoperative cognitive impairment, and disease related to women's reproductive health [in the following formula (I), ring A represents an aromatic ring, an aliphatic ring, a heterocyclic ring, or a condensed ring of two or more rings selected from an aromatic ring, an aliphatic ring and a heterocyclic ring; X, R1 and R2 represent a substituent on a ring atom constituting ring A; m represents an integer of 0 to 6; X represents, for example, a halogen atom; and R1 and R2 are the same or different and are selected from, for example, the group consisting of groups of formula (a) or formula (b); and in the following formula (a) and formula (b), Y is selected from the group consisting of O, S, and Se, Z is selected from the group consisting of O, S, and Se, n represents an integer of 1 to 8, r represents an integer of 1 to 8, s represents an integer of 1 to 8, R4 represents, for example, —C(═NH)—HN2, and R6 represents, for example, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group].

Optimization of a lead series of PI3Kδinhibitors based on a dihydroisobenzofuran core led to the identification of potent, orally bioavailable compound 19. Selectivity profiling of compound 19 showed similar potency for class III PI3K, Vps34, and PI3Kδ, and compound 19 was not well-tolerated in a 7-day rat toxicity study. Structure-based design led to an improvement in selectivity for PI3Kδover Vps34 and, a focus on oral phramacokinetics properties resulted in the discovery of compound 41, which showed improved toxicological outcomes at similar exposure levels to compound 19.

Fluorescent Isoindole Crosslink (FlICk) Chemistry: A Rapid, User-friendly Stapling Reaction

The stabilization of peptide secondary structure via stapling is a ubiquitous goal for creating new probes, imaging agents, and drugs. Inspired by indole-derived crosslinks found in natural peptide toxins, we employed ortho-phthalaldehydes to create isoindole staples, thus transforming inactive linear and monocyclic precursors into bioactive monocyclic and bicyclic products. Mild, metal-free conditions give an array of macrocyclic α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) derivatives, of which several isoindole-stapled α-MSH analogues (Ki≈1 nm) are found to be as potent as α-MSH. Analogously, late-stage intra-annular isoindole stapling furnished a bicyclic peptide mimic of α-amanitin that is cytotoxic to CHO cells (IC50=70 μm). Given its user-friendliness, we have termed this approach FlICk (fluorescent isoindole crosslink) chemistry.

A lactonization of various diols catalyzed by platinum on carbon (Pt/C) in water under an atmosphere of molecular oxygen was developed. Derivatives of 1,4- 1,5- and 1,6-diols were transformed into the corresponding five-, six-, and seven-membered lactones by the present oxidative lactonization method.
