- The role of internal twisting in the photophysics of stilbazolium dyes
-
The synthesis of selectively bridged stilbazolium dyes related to DASPMI is described. The comparison of steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies as a function of temperature allows one to develop a kinetic model on the basis of which the high photostability and absence of photoisomerization for these dyes can be understood. There are two possible photochemical deactivation channels: non-radiative decay through single-bond twisting which does not lead to a distinguishable photoisomer and through double bond twisting leading to trans-cis photoisomerization. The latter process is more than one order of magnitude slower than single-bond twisting for these compounds and is only observed in the compound where both single bonds are bridged. Lifetime maxima observed at low temperature indicate a further early structural relaxation not connected with bond twisting but with bond length changes.

- Discovery of Chromane-6-Sulfonamide Derivative as a Potent, Selective, and Orally Available Novel Retinoic Acid Receptor-Related Orphan Receptor γt Inverse Agonist
-
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a dominant role in inflammation, autoimmunity, and host defense. RORγt is a key transcription factor mediating T helper 17 (Th17) cell differentiation and IL-17 production, which is able to activate CD8+ T cells and elicit antitumor efficacy. A series of sulfonamide derivatives as novel RORγt inverse agonists were designed and synthesized. Using GSK2981278 (phase II) as a starting point, we engineered structural modifications that significantly improved the activity and pharmacokinetic profile. In animal studies, oral administration of compound d3 showed a robust and dose-dependent inhibition of the IL-17A cytokine expression in a mouse imiquimod-induced skin inflammation model. Docking analysis of the binding mode revealed that the compound d3 occupied the active pocket suitably. Thus, compound d3 was selected as a clinical compound for the treatment of Th17-driven autoimmune diseases.

- Conformationally constrained analogues of N′-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-N-(4-methylsulfonylaminobenzyl)thiourea as TRPV1 antagonists
-
A series of bicyclic analogues having indan and tetrahydronaphthalene templates in the A-region were designed as conformationally constrained analogues of our previously reported potent TRPV1 antagonists (1, 3). The activities for rat TRPV1 of the conformationally restricted analogues were moderately or markedly diminished, particularly in the case of the tetrahydronaphthalene analogues. The analysis indicated that steric constraints at the benzylic position in the bicyclic analogues may be an important factor for their unfavorable interaction with the receptor.

- Monoquaternary neuromuscular blocking agents based on 1 tetralone and 1 indanone
-
The preparation of three isomeric 1 tetralone hydrazones and three isomeric 1 indanone hydrazones possessing a single quaternary ammonium center is described. Several of the compounds possessed significant neuromuscular blocking activity, and two approached suxamethonium in potency. 1H NMR evidence obtained from a study of the N,N dimethylhydrazones indicated that the hydrazones adopted an E configuration in solution.
