- External-Photocatalyst-Free Visible-Light-Mediated Synthesis of Indolizines
-
A visible-light-mediated synthesis of valuable polycyclic indolizine heterocycles from easily accessed brominated pyridine and enol carbamate derivatives has been developed. This process, which operates at room temperature under irradiation from readily available light sources, does not require the addition of an external photocatalyst. Instead, an investigation into the reaction mechanism indicates that the indolizine products themselves may be in some way involved in mediating and accelerating their own formation. Preliminary studies also show that these simple heterocyclic compounds may be capable of facilitating other visible-light-mediated transformations.

- Potent and selective inhibitors of glutathione S-transferase omega 1 that impair cancer drug resistance
-
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a superfamily of enzymes that conjugate glutathione to a wide variety of both exogenous and endogenous compounds for biotransformation and/or removal. Glutathione S-tranferase omega 1 (GSTO1) is highly expressed in human cancer cells, where it has been suggested to play a role in detoxification of chemotherapeutic agents. Selective inhibitors of GSTO1 are, however, required to test the role that this enzyme plays in cancer and other (patho)physiological processes. With this goal in mind, we performed a fluorescence polarization activity-based protein profiling (fluopol-ABPP) high-throughput screen (HTS) with GSTO1 and the Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR) 300K+ compound library. This screen identified a class of selective and irreversible α-chloroacetamide inhibitors of GSTO1, which were optimized to generate an agent KT53 that inactivates GSTO1 with excellent in vitro (IC50 = 21 nM) and in situ (IC50 = 35 nM) potency. Cancer cells treated with KT53 show heightened sensitivity to the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin, supporting a role for GSTO1 in chemotherapy resistance.

- N-PHENYL HYDRAZIDES AS MODULATORS OF THE GHRELIN RECEPTOR
-
The present invention relates to novel compounds of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein: each R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, CH3 and CF3; X is carbon or nitrogen; R1a is H or a straight C1-3 alkyl group; R2a is H or a methyl group R2 is selected from the group consisting of C1-3alkyl, H and -(CH2)n-, wherein n is 3 or 4 and the terminal carbon of the chain is bonded to the carbon atom adjacent to the nitrogen bearing the R2 group, such that a fused 6,5 or 6,6-bicyclic ring is formed. Y is selected from the group consisting of: phenyl which may be unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of C1-3alkyl, C1-3alkoxy, halogen, C1-3alkyl substituted by 1 to 7 fluoro atoms and C1-3alkoxy substituted by 1 to 7 fluoro atoms; pyridyl which may be unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of C1-3alkyl, OCH3, CF3, CN, and halogen; naphthyl which may be unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of F and OCH3; pyrimidinyl; imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-yl; benzothiophen-2-yl; benzothiophen-5-yl; benzofuran-2-yl; dibenzo[b,d]furan-3-yl; dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yl; dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-4-yl; 1,3- benzodioxol-5-yl; 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-5-yl; 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-yl; 2,3- dihydro-1-benzofuran-4-yl; 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodiox-4-yl; pyridazinyl; imidazolyl; oxazolyl; pyrazolyl; thiazolyl; and triazolyl; with the proviso that when Y is 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-yl, R1 is not Cl; processes for their preparation, intermediates useble in these processes, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, for example as modulators of of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (also referred to as the ghrelin receptor or GHSR1a receptor) and/or for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a disorder mediated by the ghrelin receptor.
