- COMPOSITES, METHODS AND USES THEREOF
-
The present invention relates, in general terms, to methods of catalysing a reaction, including the steps of contacting a chemical entity comprising a sulphide moiety with a composite and an oxidant. The composite acts as a heterogeneous catalyst to oxidise the sulphide moiety. The present invention also relates to composites, methods of synthesising the composites and its use as a catalyst thereof.

- Discovery of carboxyl-containing biaryl ureas as potent RORγt inverse agonists
-
GSK805 (1) is a potent RORγt inverse agonist, but a drawback of 1 is its low solubility, leading to a limited absorption in high doses. We have explored detailed structure-activity relationship on the amide linker, biaryl and arylsulfonyl moieties of 1 trying to improve solubility while maintaining RORγt activity. As a result, a novel series of carboxyl-containing biaryl urea derivatives was discovered as potent RORγt inverse agonists with improved drug-like properties. Compound 3i showed potent RORγt inhibitory activity and subtype selectivity with an IC50 of 63.8 nM in RORγ FRET assay and 85 nM in cell-based RORγ-GAL4 promotor reporter assay. Reasonable inhibitory activity of 3i was also achieved in mouse Th17 cell differentiation assay (76percent inhibition at 0.3 μM). Moreover, 3i had greatly improved aqueous solubility at pH 7.4 compared to 1, exhibited decent mouse PK profile and demonstrated some in vivo efficacy in an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mice model.

- Discovery of carbazole carboxamides as novel RORγt inverse agonists
-
A novel series of carbazole carboxamides was discovered as potent RORγt inverse agonists using a scaffold hybridization strategy. Structure-activity relationship exploration on the amide linker, carbazole ring and arylsulfone moiety of the hybrid amide 3a led to identification of potent RORγt inverse agonists. Compound 6c was found to have a good RORγt activity with an IC50 of 58.5 nM in FRET assay, and reasonable inhibitory activity in mouse Th17 cell differentiation assay (58.8% inhibition at 0.3 μM). The binding mode of carbazole carboxamides in RORγt ligand binding domain was discussed.
