- Selective Inhibitors of a Human Prolyl Hydroxylase (OGFOD1) Involved in Ribosomal Decoding
-
Human prolyl hydroxylases are involved in the modification of transcription factors, procollagen, and ribosomal proteins, and are current medicinal chemistry targets. To date, there are few reports on inhibitors selective for the different types of prolyl hydroxylases. We report a structurally informed template-based strategy for the development of inhibitors selective for the human ribosomal prolyl hydroxylase OGFOD1. These inhibitors did not target the other human oxygenases tested, including the structurally similar hypoxia-inducible transcription factor prolyl hydroxylase, PHD2.

- Enhancement of the carbamate activation rate enabled syntheses of tetracyclic benzolactams: 8-oxoberbines and their 5- And 7-membered C-ring homologues
-
A route to the direct amidation of aromatic-ring-tetheredN-carbamoyl tetrahydroisoquinoline substrates was developed. This route enabled general access to 8-oxoberberines and their 5- and 7- membered C-ring homologues. It overcomes the undesired tandem side-reactions that result in the destruction of the isoquinoline backbone, which inevitably occurred under our previously reported superacidic carbamate activation method.

The remote C(sp3)-H cyanation of carboxamides has been described by merging photoredox and copper catalysis in a site-selective and enantiocontrolled manner. The protocol is the integration of photoinduced and nitrogen-centered radical-mediated intermolecular hydrogen atom transfer with chiral copper-complex-catalyzed radical cyanation. This strategy gives enantio-enriched cyanated amides in high yields.

- Identification of diphenylalkylisoxazol-5-amine scaffold as novel activator of cardiac myosin
-
To identify novel potent cardiac myosin activator, a series of diphenylalkylisoxazol-5-amine compounds 4–7 have been synthesized and evaluated for cardiac myosin ATPase activation. Among the 37 compounds, 4a (CMA at 10 μM = 81.6%), 4w (CMA at 10 μM = 71.2%) and 6b (CMA at 10 μM = 67.4%) showed potent cardiac myosin activation at a single concentration of 10 μM. These results suggested that the introduction of the amino-isoxazole ring as a bioisostere for urea group is acceptable for the cardiac myosin activation. Additional structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies were conducted. Para substitution (-Cl, –OCH3, -SO2N(CH3)2) to the phenyl rings or replacement of a phenyl ring with a heterocycle (pyridine, piperidine and tetrahydropyran) appeared to attenuate cardiac myosin activation at 10 μM. Additional hydrogen bonding acceptor next to the amino group of the isoxazoles did not enhance the activity. The potent isoxazole compounds showed selectivity for cardiac myosin activation over skeletal and smooth muscle myosin, and therefore these potent and selective isoxazole compounds could be considered as a new series of cardiac myosin ATPase activators for the treatment of systolic heart failure.

Described herein is the development of a new entry of acylnitrenoid precursors for γ-lactam synthesis via an intramolecular C-H amidation reaction. Upon Ir catalysis, N-benzoyloxyamides serve as efficient substrates to afford 5-membered amides. Mechanistic studies revealed that the generation of a putative Ir-carbonylnitrenoid via N-O bond cleavage is facilitated by the chelation of countercations. This protocol offers a convenient and step-economic route to γ-lactams starting from the corresponding carboxylic acids.

- Investigating 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino[4,3-b]indole as scaffold of butyrylcholinesterase-selective inhibitors with additional neuroprotective activities for Alzheimer's disease
-
Due to the role of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)in acetylcholine hydrolysis in the late stages of the Alzheimer's disease (AD), inhibitors of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)have been recently envisaged, besides acetylcholinesterase (AChE)inhibitors, as candidates for treating mild-to-moderate AD. Herein, synthesis and AChE/BChE inhibition activity of some twenty derivatives of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino[4,3-b]indole (HHAI)is reported. Most of the newly synthesized HHAI derivatives achieved the inhibition of both ChE isoforms with IC50s in the micromolar range, with a structure-dependent selectivity toward BChE. Apparently, molecular volume and lipophilicity do increase selectivity toward BChE, and indeed the N2-(4-phenylbutyl)HHAI derivative 15d, which behaves as a mixed-type inhibitor, resulted the most potent (IC50 0.17 μM)and selective (>100-fold)inhibitor toward either horse serum and human BChE. Moreover, 15d inhibited in vitro self-induced aggregation of neurotoxic amyloid-β (Aβ)peptide and displayed neuroprotective effects in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, significantly recovering (P 1-42 and hydrogen peroxide insults. Overall, this study highlighted HHAI as useful and versatile scaffold for developing new small molecules targeting some enzymes and biochemical pathways involved in the pathogenesis of AD.

A new approach has elaborated on the conversion of γ-lactones to the corresponding NH γ-lactams that can serve as γ-lactone bioisosteres. This approach consists of reductive C-O cleavage and an Ir-catalyzed C-H amidation, offering a powerful synthetic tool for accessing a wide range of valuable NH γ-lactam building blocks starting from γ-lactones. The synthetic utility was further demonstrated by the late-stage transformation of complex bioactive molecules and the asymmetric transformation.

- Tetrazole as a Replacement of the Electrophilic Group in Characteristic Prolyl Oligopeptidase Inhibitors
-
4-Phenylbutanoyl-aminoacyl-2(S)-tetrazolylpyrrolidines were studied as prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors. The compounds were more potent than expected from the assumption that the tetrazole would also here be a bioisostere of the carboxylic acid group and the corresponding carboxylic acids are at their best only weak inhibitors. The aminoacyl groups l-prolyl and l-alanyl gave potent inhibitors with IC50 values of 12 and 129 nM, respectively. This was in line with typical prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors; however, we did observe a difference with N-methyl-l-alanyl, which gave potent inhibitors in typical prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors but not in our novel compound series. Furthermore, all studied 4-phenylbutanoyl-aminoacyl-2(S)-tetrazolylpyrrolidines decreased α-synuclein dimerization at the concentration of 10 μM, also when they were only weak inhibitors of the proteolytic activity of the enzyme with an IC50 value of 205 μM. Molecular docking studies revealed that the compounds are likely to bind differently to the enzyme compared to typical prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors represented in this study by 4-phenylbutanoyl-aminoacyl-2(S)-cyanopyrrolidines.

- Non- C2-Symmetric Chiral-at-Ruthenium Catalyst for Highly Efficient Enantioselective Intramolecular C(sp3)-H Amidation
-
A new class of chiral ruthenium catalysts is introduced in which ruthenium is cyclometalated by two 7-methyl-1,7-phenanthrolinium heterocycles, resulting in chelating pyridylidene remote N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (rNHCs). The overall chirality results from a stereogenic metal center featuring either a or Δabsolute configuration. This work features the importance of the relative metal-centered stereochemistry. Only the non-C2-symmetric chiral-at-ruthenium complexes display unprecedented catalytic activity for the intramolecular C(sp3)-H amidation of 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones to provide chiral -lactams with up to 99:1 er and catalyst loadings down to 0.005 mol % (up to 11 ?200 TON), while the C2-symmetric diastereomer favors an undesired Curtius-type rearrangement. DFT calculations elucidate the origins of the superior C-H amidation reactivity displayed by the non-C2-symmetric catalysts compared to related C2-symmetric counterparts.

- Benzoxazin-4-ones as novel, easily accessible inhibitors for rhomboid proteases
-
Rhomboid proteases form one of the most widespread intramembrane protease families. They have been implicated in variety of human diseases. The currently reported rhomboid inhibitors display some selectivity, but their construction involves multistep synthesis protocols. Here, we report benzoxazin-4-ones as novel inhibitors of rhomboid proteases with a covalent, but slow reversible inhibition mechanism. Benzoxazin-4-ones can be synthesized from anthranilic acid derivatives in a one-step synthesis, making them easily accessible. We demonstrate that an alkoxy substituent at the 2-position is crucial for potency and results in low micromolar inhibitors of rhomboid proteases. Hence, we expect that these compounds will allow rapid synthesis and optimization of inhibitors of rhomboids from different organisms.

- Exploration of diphenylalkyloxadiazoles as novel cardiac myosin activator
-
To explore novel cardiac myosin activator, a series of diphenylalkyl substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles have been prepared and tested for cardiac myosin ATPase activation in vitro. In all cases, three carbon spacer between the oxadiazole core and one of the phenyl ring was considered crucial. In case of 1,3,4-oxadiazole, zero to two carbon spacer between oxadiazole core and other phenyl ring are favorable. Phenyl ring can be replaced by cyclohexyl moiety. In case of 1,2,4-oxadiazole, zero or one carbon spacer between the oxadiazole and other phenyl ring are favorable. Introduction of hydrogen bonding donor (NH) group at the 2nd position of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole enhances the activity. Substitutions on either of the phenyl rings or change of phenyl ring to other heterocycle are not tolerated for both the oxadiazoles. The prepared oxadiazoles showed selective activation for cardiac muscle over smooth and skeleton muscles.

- Photoinduced Remote Functionalization of Amides and Amines Using Electrophilic Nitrogen Radicals
-
The selective functionalization of C(sp3)?H bonds at distal positions to functional groups is a challenging task in synthetic chemistry. Reported here is a photoinduced radical cascade strategy for the divergent functionalization of amides and protected amines. The process is based on the oxidative generation of electrophilic amidyl radicals and their subsequent transposition by 1,5-H-atom transfer, resulting in remote fluorination, chlorination and, for the first time, thioetherification, cyanation, and alkynylation. The process is tolerant of most common functional groups and delivers useful building blocks that can be further elaborated. The utility of this strategy is demonstrated through the late-stage functionalization of amino acids and a dipeptide.

-
Following our studies on structure-activity relationships of anti-rhinovirus chromene and chroman derivatives, we designed and synthesized new series of 3-phenylalkyl-2H-chromenes and -chromans bearing differently sized, aliphatic linker chains between the two cycles. The cytotoxicity and the antiviral activity of the new compounds on human rhinovirus (HRV) serotype 1B and 14 infection were evaluated in HeLa cell cultures. Most of the tested compounds interfered with HRV1B multiplication in the micromolar or submicromolar concentrations while HRV14 was less susceptible. 3-[3-(4-Chlorophenyl)propyl]chroman (9c) was selected for preliminary mechanism of action studies due to its potent activity against both serotypes (IC50 of 0.48?μM and 1.36?μM towards HRV1B and 14, respectively) coupled with high selectivity (SI?=?206.18 and 73.26, respectively). Results of time of addition/removal studies suggest that 9c, similarly to related derivatives, behaves as a capsid binder interfering with some early events of the HRV1B infectious cycle.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of oxazolidone derivatives as highly potent N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) inhibitors
-
N-Acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase (NAAA) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of endogenous fatty acid ethanolamides (FAEs), such as N-palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). PEA exhibits anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities by engaging peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α). Preventing PEA degradation by inhibition of NAAA has been proposed as a novel strategy for the treatment of inflammation and pain. In the present study, we reported the discovery of the oxazolidone derivative as a novel scaffold for NAAA inhibitors, and studied the structure-activity relationship (SAR) by modification of the side chain and terminal lipophilic substituents. The results showed that the link chain length of C5, straight and saturated linkages were the preferred shape patterns for NAAA inhibition. Several nanomolar NAAA inhibitors were described, including 2f, 3h, 3i and 3j with IC50 values of 270 nM, 150 nM, 100 nM and 190 nM, respectively. Enzymatic degradation studies suggested that 2f inhibited NAAA in a selective, noncompetitive and reversible pattern. Moreover, 2f showed high anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities after systemic and oral administration.

- Discovery of a potent protein kinase D inhibitor: insights in the binding mode of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine analogues
-
In this study, we set out to rationally optimize PKD inhibitors based on the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine scaffold. The lead compound for this study was 1-NM-PP1, which was previously found by us and others to inhibit PKD. In our screening we identified one compound (3-IN-PP1) displaying a 10-fold increase in potency over 1-NM-PP1, opening new possibilities for specific protein kinase inhibitors for kinases that show sensitivity towards pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derived compounds. Interestingly the observed SAR was not in complete agreement with the commonly observed binding mode where the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine compounds are bound in a similar fashion as PKD's natural ligand ATP. Therefore we suggest an alternate binding mode where the compounds are flipped 180 degrees. This possible alternate binding mode for pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine based compounds could pave the way for a new class of specific protein kinase inhibitors for kinases sensitive towards pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrmidines.

A method for the catalytic reductive N-alkylation of amines by using secondary amides as the alkyl source was developed. A versatile type of carboxamide functioned as an N-alkylation reagent in the presence of an indium(III) catalyst and a hydrosilane to provide alkylated tertiary amines efficiently. This amide-based catalytic N-alkylation strategy is considered to be a highly useful protocol to access unsymmetrical tertiary amines.

- Selective α-Oxyamination and Hydroxylation of Aliphatic Amides
-
Compared to the α-functionalization of aldehydes, ketones, even esters, the direct α-modification of amides is still a challenge because of the low acidity of α-CH groups. The α-functionalization of N?H (primary and secondary) amides, containing both an unactived α-C?H bond and a competitively active N?H bond, remains elusive. Shown herein is the general and efficient oxidative α-oxyamination and hydroxylation of aliphatic amides including secondary N?H amides. This transition-metal-free chemistry with high chemoselectivity provides an efficient approach to α-hydroxy amides. This oxidative protocol significantly enables the selective functionalization of inert α-C?H bonds with the complete preservation of active N?H bond.

Despite advances in organometallic cross-coupling of alkyl electrophiles, there are few stereoselective reactions of chiral, nonracemic substrates. Herein we report a stereospecific carbonylative coupling of alkyl tosylates and dienes producing enantioenriched dienones. This catalytic process proceeds under low pressure and mild conditions using a simple cobalt catalyst and extends to diverse tosylate and diene coupling partners. The transformation constitutes a unique, convergent approach to the asymmetric synthesis of valuable carbonyl compounds from easily accessed starting materials.

Docking experiments showed that the 2-substituted aniline motif fits within the LuxR binding site at the place of the lactone moiety of AHL, and the biological evaluation revealed QS antagonisitic activity for several compounds, validating the hypothesis that this scaffold acts on QS. Structure activity relationships are discussed regarding interactions with the key residues of the LuxR binding site, showing significant variations in the H-bonding pattern.

- Iodobenzene Dichloride in the Esterification and Amidation of Carboxylic Acids: In-Situ Synthesis of Ph3PCl2
-
A novel, in-situ synthesis of dichlorotriphenylphosphorane (Ph3PCl2) is accomplished upon combining PPh3and the easily prepared hypervalent iodine reagent iodobenzene dichloride (PhICl2). The phosphorane is selectively generated in the presence of carboxylic acid or alcohol residues to rapidly produce acyl chlorides and alkyl chlorides in high yields. Addition of EtOH, PhOH, BnOH, Et2NH or CH2N2results in the direct synthesis of esters, amides and diazo ketones from carboxylic acids.

- Synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of N-(2,3-dimethyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzamides
-
We report the synthesis of a series of different substituted N-(2,3-dimethyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzamides by making use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug known as 4-aminophenazone also called as antipyrine, a compound of great interest in drug chemistry. These compounds possess potential biological applications and were screened against human recombinant alkaline phosphatase including human tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (h-TNAP), tissue specific human intestinal alkaline phosphatase (h-IAP), human placental alkaline phosphatase (h-PLAP) and human germ cell alkaline phosphatase (h-GCAP). These compounds were also tested for their inhibitory potential against recombinant human and rat ecto-5′-nucleotidases (h-e5-NT & r-e5-NT, respectively). All benzamide derivatives inhibited APs to a lesser degree than e5-NT. The reported compounds are of considerable interest for further applications in the field of medicinal chemistry as these compounds have potential to bind nucleotide protein targets.

- Unactivated C(sp3)-H hydroxylation through palladium catalysis with H2O as the oxygen source
-
A novel palladium catalyzed hydroxylation of unactivated aliphatic C(sp3)-H bonds was successfully developed. Different from conventional methods, water serves as the hydroxyl group source in the reaction. This new reaction demonstrates good reactivity and broad functional group tolerance. The C-H hydroxylated products can be readily transformed into various highly valuable chemicals via known transformations. Based on experimental and theoretical studies, a mechanism involving the Pd(ii)/(iv) pathway is proposed for this hydroxylation reaction.

- Stereoselective α-fluorination of N -acyloxazolidinones at room temperature within 1 h
-
A direct α-fluorination of N-acyloxazolidinones based on the unique reactivity of group IVa metal enolates has been developed. The reaction is an experimentally simple, low-cost, quick, and energy-efficient alternative for asymmetric α-fluorination of N-acyloxazolidinones. Preliminary studies have shown compatibility with alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl, aromatic, and several heteroaromatic substituents. High diastereoselectivities have been achieved with most substrates tested, and the reaction is typically complete within 1 h at ambient temperature.

- New methodology toward α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids from saturated acids
-
A carefully designed three-step unsaturation of carboxylic acids is described. Briefly, carboxylic acids were converted to the trifluoromethyl ketone. Subsequent treatment with selenium dioxide followed by hydrolysis afforded α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. The mechanism of the reported transformation was investigated, which led us to propose a novel explanation featuring selenium dioxide assisted enolizaion of a trifluoromethyl ketone followed by β-deprotonation.

- A facile synthesis of pyrrolo-(di)-benzazocinones via an intramolecular N-acyliminium ion cyclisation
-
A facile, moderate to high yielding synthesis of hexahydro-(di)- benzazocinones is described via an intramolecular N-acyliminium ion cyclisation. The iminium ion intermediates are formed from the readily available 4,4-diethoxybutyl amides with an excess of triflic acid. For electron-withdrawing substituents, better yields were obtained from the pre-formed 2-hydroxypyrrolidine amides. From NMR studies, at ambient temperatures the pyrrolo-benzazocin-3-ones exist as a slowly equilibrating mixture of two conformations.
