- TAU-PROTEIN TARGETING COMPOUNDS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF USE
-
The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of tan protein. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end a VHL or cereblon ligand which binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds tan protein, such that tan protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of tan. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of tan protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of tan protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

- Practical Synthesis of a Stable Precursor for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging Agent 18F-GTP1
-
18F-GTP1 is a deuterated small molecule positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent used to visualize tau tangles in Alzheimer's disease patients. The first-generation synthesis of 18F-GTP1's nonradiolabeled alkyl tosylate precursor was plagued by low-yielding steps, inefficient chromatographic purifications, and variable product quality. Due to these limitations, a more robust second-generation route was developed and successfully executed on kilogram scale. A reduction with LiAlD4 incorporated geminal deuterium atoms, while an efficient amidation reaction accessed the key acrylamide coupling partner. Moreover, the tricyclic imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine core was assembled via a novel, convergent, and highly selective phosphoramidate-directed annulation. The improved synthesis eliminated all chromatography en route to a high-yielding and reproducible acid-promoted tosylation as the final step.

- Br?nsted Acid Catalyzed Tandem Defunctionalization of Biorenewable Ferulic acid and Derivates into Bio-Catechol
-
An efficient conversion of biorenewable ferulic acid into bio-catechol has been developed. The transformation comprises two consecutive defunctionalizations of the substrate, that is, C?O (demethylation) and C?C (de-2-carboxyvinylation) bond cleavage, occurring in one step. The process only requires heating of ferulic acid with HCl (or H2SO4) as catalyst in pressurized hot water (250 °C, 50 bar N2). The versatility is shown on a variety of other (biorenewable) substrates yielding up to 84 % di- (catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone) and trihydroxybenzenes (pyrogallol, hydroxyquinol), in most cases just requiring simple extraction as work-up.

- Synthesis and RT inhibitory activity evaluation of new pyrimidine-based Seco-nucleosides
-
Eleven new 3 ′,4 ′- seco acyclic nucleosides (4-14) were prepared by nucleophilic substitution of protected pyrimidine bases on ethyl 3,3-diethoxypropanoate (3). Structures were characterized spectroscopically and a brief analysis of their conformation in solution was performed by the vicinal coupling constants 3 J H 2′ aH 3′ and 3 J H 2′ bH 3′. In solid state, compound 6 forms a homodimer linked by hydrogen bonding. In preliminary tests all compounds show low toxicity and gentle activity against HIV-1 RT in vitro.

- Trihaloacetylated enol ethers - General synthetic procedure and heterocyclic ring closure reactions with hydroxylamine
-
An improved procedure is described for preparing β-trichloro- and β-trifluoroacetyl derivatives of six simple enol ethers, in analytically pure form, high yield, and on an up to molar scale. The 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trichloro[fluoro]-3-alken-2-ones 4a-c and 5a-c, thus obtained, are cyclocondensed with hydroxylamine hydrochloride (in pyridine, 35°C) to afford the 5-hydroxy-5-trichloro[fluoro]methyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles 6 and 7 in high yield. With cyclic substrates, i.e. the trihaloacetyl dihydrofurans and -2H-pyrans 4d, e and 5d, e, a competitive rearrangement reaction gives 3-cyano-2-hydroxy-2-trichloro[fluoro]methyltetrahydrofurans and -2H-pyrans 8 and 9, respectively. Direct condensation to a dihydroisoxazole prevails at 0°C (>85% for 4d, 5d), rearrangement to the cyano compounds at higher temperatures (65-70°C, > 70%). Under either condition, the respective heterocycle may be isolated in > 60% yield (except for 6e).
