- Synthesis of chlorinated biphenyls by Suzuki cross-coupling using diamine or diimine-palladium complexes
-
Several novel diimines (Salen-type ligands) 2a-2i and their reduced diamine counterparts 3b,3d-3g and 3i form complexes 4a-4i, 5b,5d-5g, and 5i with PdCl2 in DMF or methanol. Using 1 mol-% of the isolated complexes 4e and 5f many polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be prepared in moderate to excellent yields according to the Suzuki cross-coupling protocol with contact to air. Several 4-acetylbiphenyls prepared by this method can be converted in moderate yields into the corresponding biphenylcarboxylic acids (BCAs) by alkaline cleavage. An X-ray crystal structure determination confirms the structure of complex 5f. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.

- NMR-based discovery of lead inhibitors that block DNA binding of the human papillomavirus E2 protein
-
The E2 protein is required for the replication of human papillomaviruses (HPVs), which are responsible for anogenital warts and cervical carcinomas. Using an NMR-based screen we tested compounds for binding to the DNA-binding domain of the HPV-E2 protein. Three classes of compounds were identified which bound to two distinct sites on the protein. Biphenyl and biphenyl ether compounds containing a carboxylic acid bind to a site near the DNA recognition helix and inhibit the binding of E2 to DNA. Benzophenone- containing compounds which lack a carboxylic acid group bind to the β- barrel formed by the dimer interface and exhibit negligible effects on the binding of E2 to DNA. Structure-activity relationships from the biphenyl and biphenyl ether compounds were combined to produce a compound [5-(3'- (3'',5''-dichlorophenoxy)-phenyl)-2,4-pentadienoic acid] with an IC50 value of approximately 10 μM. This compound represents a useful lead for the development of antiviral agents that interfere with HPV replication and further illustrates the usefulness of the SAR by NMR method in the drug discovery process.
