- Discovery of BMS-986235/LAR-1219: A Potent Formyl Peptide Receptor 2 (FPR2) Selective Agonist for the Prevention of Heart Failure
-
Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) agonists can stimulate resolution of inflammation and may have utility for treatment of diseases caused by chronic inflammation, including heart failure. We report the discovery of a potent and selective FPR2 agonist and its evaluation in a mouse heart failure model. A simple linear urea with moderate agonist activity served as the starting point for optimization. Introduction of a pyrrolidinone core accessed a rigid conformation that produced potent FPR2 and FPR1 agonists. Optimization of lactam substituents led to the discovery of the FPR2 selective agonist 13c, BMS-986235/LAR-1219. In cellular assays 13c inhibited neutrophil chemotaxis and stimulated macrophage phagocytosis, key end points to promote resolution of inflammation. Cardiac structure and functional improvements were observed in a mouse heart failure model following treatment with BMS-986235/LAR-1219.

- Synthesis of phenylalanine analogs
-
A straight forward synthesis of phenylalanine analogs is described. Cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) mediated addition of azide to cinnamicester, followed by reaction with sodium acetate aff orded the α-azidocinnamate in moderate yield. Hydrogenation of α-azidocinnamate, followed by BOC, CBZ or Fmoc protection gave phenylalanine analogs. A new approach for synthesizing racemic p-boronophenylalanine analog was also explored.

- RCM approach for the total synthesis of cryptophycin-24 (Arenastatin A)
-
An efficient total synthesis of cryptophycin-24 (arenastatin A) is reported, which features two novel synthetic strategies, the use of a RCM reaction to form the macrocycle, and the introduction of the styrene epoxide moiety prior to the macrocyclization

- An aldol-based approach to the synthesis of the antibiotic anisomycin
-
Chemical equation presented A new approach to the synthesis of the antibiotic anisomycin is reported that relies upon a key aldol disconnection. The glycolate aldol coupling proceeds in 75% yield and with >95% diastereoselectivity, which allows the 13-step synthesis to proceed in 35% overall yield.

- Preparation and use in amino acid synthesis of a new chiral glycine derivative - (R)- and (S)-tert-Butyl 2-tert-Butyl-4-methoxy-2,5-dihydroimidazole-1-carboxylate (BDI)
-
The title compound BDI is prepared on multigram scale, either by resolution of the precursor 2-tert-butylimidazolidin-4-one (from glycine amide and pivalaldehyde) through diastereomeric salts (Scheme 2) or by preparative chromatographic enantiomer separation on a chiral column. Lithiated BDI derivatives are highly nucleophilic species, combining the structural elements of a Li enaminate, of an enolether and of an N-Boc-enaminate (E, G). They react with complete diastereoselectivity (NMR analysis) from the face trans to the tert-butyl group. The electrophiles employed are primary and secondary alkyl, allyl, benzyl, and propargyl halides (Schemes 3 and 5), enoates (in Michael additions, Scheme 7), as well as aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes (in aldol additions, Scheme 8). When a third, exocyclic, stereocenter is formed in these reactions, there is a high degree of enantiomer differentiation (with tac. sec. halides, products 10-12) and of enantiotopic face differentiation (with enoates and aldehydes, products 40-50). The reactions are so clean that highly efficient in-situ double alkylations are feasible, in which the sequence of addition of the two different electrophiles determines the configuration at the newly formed stereogenic center (Scheme 5). In contrast to derivatives of previously reported chiral glycine reagents, the products from BDI are converted to methyl esters of amino acids under mild conditions and without concomitant formation (... and the need for recovery or removal) of a chiral auxiliary; the method is compatible with acid-sensitive side chains in the α-amino acids and α-branched α-amino acids to be synthesized (Schemes 4 and 6). The addition of Li-BDI to aldehydes furnishes, after hydrolysis, α-amino-β-hydroxy acids of erythro configuration (allo-threonine analogs, Scheme 8); a model for the stereochemical course of this reaction (rel. topicity unlike) is proposed, and compared with the corresponding conversions of analogous oxazolidinone and imidazolidinone Li enolates which occur with rel. topicity like.
