- X-ray Structure-Guided Discovery of a Potent, Orally Bioavailable, Dual Human Indoleamine/Tryptophan 2,3-Dioxygenase (hIDO/hTDO) Inhibitor That Shows Activity in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease
-
Human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (hIDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (hTDO) have been closely linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD); nevertheless, development of dual hIDO1 and hTDO inhibitors to evaluate their potential efficacy against PD is still lacking. Here, we report biochemical, biophysical, and computational analyses revealing that 1H-indazole-4-amines inhibit both hIDO1 and hTDO by a mechanism involving direct coordination with the heme ferrous and ferric states. Crystal structure-guided optimization led to23, which manifested IC50values of 0.64 and 0.04 μM to hIDO1 and hTDO, respectively, and had good pharmacokinetic properties and brain penetration in mice.23showed efficacy against the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced mouse motor coordination deficits, comparable to Madopar, an anti-PD medicine. Further studies revealed that different from Madopar,23likely has specific anti-PD mechanisms involving lowering IDO1 expression, alleviating dopaminergic neurodegeneration, reducing inflammatory cytokines and quinolinic acid in mouse brain, and increasing kynurenic acid in mouse blood.

- Discovery of a Candidate Containing an (S)-3,3-Difluoro-1-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1 H-inden Scaffold as a Highly Potent Pan-Inhibitor of the BCR-ABL Kinase including the T315I-Resistant Mutant for the Treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
-
BCR-ABL kinase inhibition is an effective strategy for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Herein, we report compound 3a-P1, bearing a difluoro-indene scaffold, as a novel potent pan-inhibitor against BCR-ABL mutants, including the most refractory T315I mutant. As the privileged (S)-isomer compared to its (R)-isomer 3a-P2, 3a-P1 exhibited potent antiproliferative activities against K562 and Ku812 CML cells and BCR-ABL and BCR-ABLT315I BaF3 cells, with IC50 values of 0.4, 0.1, 2.1, and 4.7 nM, respectively. 3a-P1 displayed a good safety profile in a battery of assays, including single-dose toxicity, hERG K+, and genotoxicity. It also showed favorable mice pharmacokinetic properties with a good oral bioavailability (32%), a reasonable half-life (4.61 h), and a high exposure (1386 h·ng/mL). Importantly, 3a-P1 demonstrated a higher potency than ponatinib in a mice xenograft model of BaF3 harboring BCR-ABLT315I. Overall, the results indicate that 3a-P1 is a promising drug candidate for the treatment of CML to overcome the imatinib-resistant T315I BCR-ABL mutation.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Selective Reduction of Carboxylic Acids to Aldehydes
-
The direct reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes is a fundamental transformation in organic synthesis. The combination of an air-stable Ni precatalyst, dimethyl dicarbonate as an activator, and silane reductant effects this reduction for a wide variety of substrates, including pharmaceutically relevant structures, in good yields and with no overreduction to alcohols. Moreover, this methodology is scalable, allows access to deuterated aldehydes, and is also compatible with one-pot utilization of the aldehyde products.

- Boosting the hydrolytic stability of phosphite ligand in hydroformylation by the construction of superhydrophobic porous framework
-
The development of a catalyst that delivers high activities and selectivities with excellent durability is of great importance. Numerous efficient catalysts suffer from the inherent hydrolysis liabilities, plaguing their practical applications. Herein, we show that this challenge can be tackled by constructing them into superhydrophobic porous frameworks, as exemplified by a water-sensitive phosphite ligand, tris(2-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite. The efficiency and long-term stability of the developed system are remarkably high in the hydroformylation of internal olefins after metalation with Rh species, superior to the corresponding homogeneous analogues. The significantly boosted hydrolytic stability allows for catalytic transformations using water as a green solvent, which not only facilitates the isolation of the products, but also furnishes the aldehydes with higher regioselectivities for the desired linear form in comparison with that operated under benchmark conditions using toluene as a reaction medium. Given these promising results, we anticipate the strategy advanced herein will form the basis for constructive perspectives in the enhancement of the water resistance of catalysts and the development of high performance hydroformylation catalysts.

-
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing N-Boc-3-pyrrolidine formaldehyde. The method comprises that dimethyl itaconate as a raw material undergoes an intramolecular cyclization reaction to produce methyl 5-oxo-3-pyrrolidine carboxylate, then the methyl 5-oxo-3-pyrrolidine carboxylate undergoes a reduction reaction to produce pyrrolidine-3-methanol, then the pyrrolidine-3-methanol is subjected to Boc protection so that N-Boc-pyrrolidine-3-methanol is obtained, and finally, the N-Boc-pyrrolidine-3-methanol is oxidized to form a final product compound. The method is simple and convenient, has a low cost, content greater than 99%, produces small environmental pollution and is suitable for industrial production.

- Backbone-Modified Bisdiazaphospholanes for Regioselective Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroformylation of Alkenes
-
A series of tetraaryl bisdiazaphospholane (BDP) ligands were prepared varying the phosphine bridge, backbone, and substituents in the 2- and 5-positions of the diazaphospholane ring. The parent acylhydrazine backbone was transformed to an alkylhydrazine via a borane reduction procedure. These reduced ligands contained an all sp3 hybridized ring mimicking the all sp3 phospholane of (R,R)-Ph-BPE, a highly selective ligand in asymmetric hydroformylation. The reduced bisdiazaphospholane (red-BDP) ligands were shown crystallographically to have an increased C-N-N-C torsion angle - this puckering resembles the structure of (R,R)-Ph-BPE and has a dramatic influence on regioselectivity in rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation. The red-BDPs demonstrated up to a 5-fold increase in selectivity for the branched aldehyde compared to the acylhydrazine parent ligands. This work demonstrates a facile procedure for increased branched selectivity from the highly active and accessible class of BDP ligands in hydroformylation.

- Enantioselective hydroformylation of N-vinyl carboxamides, allyl carbamates, and allyl ethers using chiral diazaphospholane ligands
-
Rhodium complexes of diazaphospholane ligands catalyze the asymmetric hydroformylation of N-vinyl carboxamides, allyl ethers, and allyl carbamates; products include 1,2- and 1,3-aminoaldehydes and 1,3-alkoxyaldehydes. Using glass pressure bottles, short reaction times (generally less than 6 h), and low catalyst loading (commonly 0.5 mol %), 20 substrates are successfully converted to chiral aldehydes with useful regioselectivity and high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). Chiral Roche aldehyde is obtained with 97% ee from the hydroformylation of allyl silyl ethers. Commonly difficult substrates such as 1,1- and 1,2-disubstituted alkenes undergo effective hydroformylation with 89-97% ee and complete conversion for six examples. Palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amination of allyl benzyl ether followed by enantioselective hydroformylation yields the β3-aminoaldehyde with 74% ee.

- Phosphabarrelenes as ligands in rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of internal alkenes essentially free of alkene isomerization
-
Despite significant research efforts in the past, one of the remaining problems to be solved in industrially important hydroformylation is the chemoselective low-pressure hydroformylation of internal alkenes. We report here on a new class of phosphabarrelene/rhodium catalysts 2 that display very high activity towards hydroformylation of internal alkenes with an unusually low tendency towards alkene isomerization. Preparation of new phosphabarrelene ligands, studies of their coordination properties, as well as results obtained in the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of cyclic and acyclic internal alkenes are reported.
