- Discovery of the Oxadiazine FRM-024: A Potent CNS-Penetrant Gamma Secretase Modulator
-
The recent approval of aducanumab for Alzheimer's disease has heightened the interest in therapies targeting the amyloid hypothesis. Our research has focused on identification of novel compounds to improve amyloid processing by modulating gamma secretase activity, thereby addressing a significant biological deficit known to plague the familial form of the disease. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, and optimization of new gamma secretase modulators (GSMs) based on previously reported oxadiazine 1. Potency improvements with a focus on predicted and measured properties afforded high-quality compounds further differentiated via robust Aβ42 reductions in both rodents and nonhuman primates. Extensive preclinical profiling, efficacy studies, and safety studies resulted in the nomination of FRM-024, (+)-cis-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-cyclopropyl-3-(6-methoxy-5-(4-methyl-1H-imidazole-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2,4-oxadiazine, as a GSM preclinical candidate for familial Alzheimer's disease.

- Structural spectroscopic study of enantiomerically pure synthetic cathinones and their major metabolites
-
New psychoactive substances (NPSs) have become a popular alternative to illicit drugs of abuse. However, to determine their metabolic pathways in the human organism, a detailed knowledge of their structure is crucial. Here, we present a comprehensive spectroscopic structural study of synthetic cathinones (clephedrone, flephedrone, and brephedrone) and their major human metabolites, desmethyl derivatives. Chiral high-performance liquid chromatography was utilized to obtain the individual enantiomers of the parent synthetic cathinones and their assumed major metabolites synthesized de novo. The developed chromatographic method made it possible to obtain the target optically pure substances on a multimilligram scale. Electronic and vibrational circular dichroism, combined with infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy and supported by DFT calculations, were used to determine their absolute configuration and the chiroptical methods to elucidate their molecular structure in detail. Two stable conformers of each substance were found in aqueous solution. Their relative abundances were estimated based on the Boltzmann distribution and the population weighted spectra were obtained. Very good agreement was achieved between the experimental and simulated spectra, enabling the 3D structures of the studied substances to be determined in aqueous solution. This journal is

- Enantioselective Synthesis of Nitrogen-Nitrogen Biaryl Atropisomers via Copper-Catalyzed Friedel-Crafts Alkylation Reaction
-
Nitrogen-nitrogen bonds containing motifs are ubiquitous in natural products and bioactive compounds. However, the atropisomerism arising from a restricted rotation around an N-N bond is largely overlooked. Here, we describe a method to access the first enantioselective synthesis of N-N biaryl atropisomers via a Cu-bisoxazoline-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. A wide range of axially chiral N-N bisazaheterocycle compounds were efficiently prepared in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities via desymmetrization and kinetic resolution. Heating experiments showed that the axially chiral bisazaheterocycle products have high rotational barriers.

- Novel benzene-based carbamates for ache/bche inhibition: Synthesis and ligand/structure-oriented sar study
-
A series of new benzene-based derivatives was designed, synthesized and comprehensively characterized. All of the tested compounds were evaluated for their in vitro ability to potentially inhibit the acetyl-and butyrylcholinesterase enzymes. The selectivity index of individual molecules to cholinesterases was also determined. Generally, the inhibitory potency was stronger against butyryl-compared to acetylcholinesterase; however, some of the compounds showed a promising inhibition of both enzymes. In fact, two compounds (23, benzyl ethyl(1-oxo-1-phenylpropan-2-yl)carbamate and 28, benzyl (1-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl) (methyl)carbamate) had a very high selectivity index, while the second one (28) reached the lowest inhibitory concentration IC50 value, which corresponds quite well with galanthamine. Moreover, comparative receptor-independent and receptor-dependent structure–activity studies were conducted to explain the observed variations in inhibiting the potential of the investigated carbamate series. The principal objective of the ligand-based study was to comparatively analyze the molecular surface to gain insight into the electronic and/or steric factors that govern the ability to inhibit enzyme activities. The spatial distribution of potentially important steric and electrostatic factors was determined using the probability-guided pharmacophore mapping procedure, which is based on the iterative variable elimination method. Additionally, planar and spatial maps of the host–target interactions were created for all of the active compounds and compared with the drug molecules using the docking methodology.

- Design, synthesis and broad-spectrum Bcr-Abl inhibitory activity of novel thiazolamide-benzamide derivatives
-
Bcr-Abl plays an important role in the pathogenesis and development of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). But Bcr-Abl is prone to mutation, so it increases the difficulty of clinical treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to design a new class of broad-spectrum Bcr-Abl inhibitors. Herein, forty novel thiazolamide-benzamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated their broad-spectrum Bcr-Abl inhibitory activities. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by using spectrum data (1H NMR, APCI-MS and IR) and elemental analysis. The protein kinase results indicated that eight compounds (3a, 3e, 3m, 3n, 3p, 4c, 4f, 4g) showed high activities to wild-type and T315I mutation. The most potent compound 3m exhibited an Abl IC50 value as low as 1.273 μM and showed inhibition to the T315I mutant with IC50 value 39.89 μM. 3m could prove to be a new promising lead compound for the further development of broad-spectrum Bcr-Abl inhibitors to overcome clinical acquired resistance.

- Synthesis of α,β-dibromo ketones by photolysis of α-bromo ketones with N-bromosuccinimide: Photoinduced β-bromination of α-bromo ketones
-
Irradiation of α-bromopropiophenones in the presence of NBS results in the formation of α,β-dibromopropiophenones, which can be viewed as β-bromination of α-bromopropiophenones. The reaction is believed to go through a series of reactions; photoinduced C–Br bond cleavage, elimination of HBr to give α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediates, and addition of Br2, which are formed by the reaction between HBr and NBS. From mechanistic studies of the reaction, we have also found a very convenient method for α-debromination of the α,β-dibromopropiophenones which is by simple irradiation of the dibromo ketones in acetone or 2-propanol without the use of any additives. Our results demonstrate that bromine can be added into or eliminated from the alpha, beta, or both positions to the carbonyl group by photochemical methods, which make synthetic options of bromine containing carbonyl compounds versatile.

- NBS-mediated synthesis of β-keto sulfones from benzyl alcohols and sodium arenesulfinates
-
An efficient synthetic route towards the synthesis of β-keto sulfones has been developed from secondary benzyl alcohols using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). The present protocol utilizes NBS as oxidant as well as brominating agent, readily accessible benzyl alcohols and sodium arenesulfinates as the sulfonylating reagent under mild conditions. The control experiments revealed that the reaction proceeds via oxidation of alcohol to ketone, α-bromination of ketone and nucleophilic substitution by sodium arenesulfinate. Furthermore, the efficiency of the methodology was tested with a gram scale reaction and also shown the synthetic utility.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel thiazole- VX-809 hybrid derivatives as F508del correctors by QSAR-based filtering tools
-
The most common CF mutation, F508del, impairs the processing and gating of CFTR protein. This deletion results in the improper folding of the protein and its degradation before it reaches the plasma membrane of epithelial cells. Present correctors, like VX809 only induce a partial rescue of the mutant protein. Our previous studies reported a class of compounds, called aminoarylthiazoles (AATs), featuring an interesting activity as correctors. Some of them show additive effect with VX809 indicating a different mechanism of action. In an attempt to construct more interesting molecules, it was thought to generate chemically hybrid compounds, blending a portion of VX809 merged to the thiazole scaffold. This approach was guided by the development of QSAR analyses, which were performed based on the F508del correctors so far disclosed in the literature. This strategy was aimed at exploring the key requirements turning in the corrector ability of the collected derivatives and allowed us to derive a predictive model guiding for the synthesis of novel hybrids as promising correctors. The new molecules were tested in functional and biochemical assays on bronchial CFBE41o-cells expressing F508del-CFTR showing a promising corrector activity.

Straightforward access to various substituted naphthalenones by copper-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation cascades of 2-bromo-1-arylpropan-1-ones with terminal alkynes is presented. Employing a Cu(MeCN)4PF4 catalyst and 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-Phen) ligand enables the formation of three new C-C bonds in a single reaction via [4 + 2] annulation of a 2-bromo-1-arylpropan-1-one with an alkyne followed by α-alkylation with the other 2-bromo-1-arylpropan-1-one with excellent functional group tolerance and step efficiency.

- Solvent free, light induced 1,2-bromine shift reaction of α-bromo ketones
-
Photolysis of α-bromopropiophenones in acetonitrile results in formation of β-bromopropiophenones with good product selectivity, which can be coined as 1,2-Br shift reaction. The product selectivity increases when the reaction is done in neat or solid state, where only the 1,2-Br shift product is formed in some cases. The reaction is suggested to proceed by C–Br bond homolysis to give a radical pair, followed by disproportionation and conjugate addition of HBr to the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediate. When the unsaturated intermediate is stabilized by an extra conjugation, the reaction stops at the stage, in which the unsaturated ketone becomes a major product. The synthetic method described in this research fits in a category of eco-friendly organic synthesis nicely since the reaction does not use volatile organic solvents and any other additives such as acid, base or metal catalysts, etc. Besides, the method fits into perfect atom economy, which does not give any side products. The synthetic method should find much advantage over other alternative methods to obtain β-bromo carbonyl compounds.

- Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Construction of Chiral Amino Alcohols by Iridium-f-Amphox-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
-
The iridium-f-amphox-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic α-amino β-unfunctionalized ketones proceeds via a DKR (dynamic kinetic resolution) process for the construction of various chiral N,N-disubstituted α-amino β-unfunctionalized alcohols in quantitative yields with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities (all products >99% ee and >99:1 dr, TON up to 100 000). Importantly, this catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation with a DKR process provided a highly efficient and powerful synthetic strategy for the preparation of key chiral intermediates of the preclinical antitumor agent (S,S)-R116010.

An improved and greener protocol has been developed for the synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles via C–Br, C–S, and, C–N bond formations in a single step from readily available ketones, N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), and thiourea catalyzed by citric acid in a mixture of ethanol and water (3:1) under reflux conditions. This method has the advantages of freedom from the isolation of lachrymatory α-bromoketones, ease of carrying out, cleaner reaction profile, broad substrate scope, freedom from chromatographic purification, and suitability for large-scale synthesis.

- A Platform of Regioselective Methodologies to Access Polysubstituted 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone Derivatives: Scope and Limitations
-
A platform of synthetic methodologies has been established to access a focused library of polysubstituted 3-benzylmenadione derivatives functionalized on the aromatic ring of the naphthoquinone core. Two main routes were explored: 1) The naphthol route, starting from either an α-tetralone or a propiophenone, and 2) the regioselective Diels-Alder reaction, starting from various dienes and two 2-bromo-5(or 6)-methyl-1,4-benzoquinones. 6-Substituted 2-methylnaphthols were synthesized by using a xanthate-mediated free-radical addition/cyclization sequence for the construction of the 6-substituted menadione subunit. Furthermore, an efficient and simple new pathway that allows the formation of 6- or 7-substituted 3-(substituted-benzyl)menadione regioisomers from a common commercial scaffold has also been developed by the naphthol route, advantageous with regard to step economy. Our synthetic methodologies exemplified by 34 compounds have allowed structure-activity relationships to be deduced for use as the basis for the development of new antimalarial redox-active polysubstituted benzylmenadione derivatives.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand-mediated transcription factor playing key roles in glucose and lipid homeostasis, and PPARγ ligands possess therapeutic potential in these as well as other areas. In this study, a series of phenylthiazole acids have been synthesized and evaluated for agonistic activity by a convenient fluorescence polarization-based PPARγ ligand screening assay. Compound 4t, as a potential PPARγ agonist with half maximal effective concentration (EC50) 0.75±0.20 μM, exhibited in vitro potency comparable with a 0.83±0.14 μM of the positive control rosiglitazone. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations indicated that phenylthiazole acid 4t interacted with the amino acid residues of the active site of the PPARγ complex in a stable manner, consistent with the result of the in vitro ligand assay.

- Diarylthiazole: An antimycobacterial scaffold potentially targeting PrrB-PrrA two-component system
-
Diarylthiazole (DAT), a hit from diversity screening, was found to have potent antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In a systematic medicinal chemistry exploration, we demonstrated chemical opportunities to optimize the potency and physicochemical properties. The effort led to more than 10 compounds with submicromolar MICs and desirable physicochemical properties. The potent antimycobacterial activity, in conjunction with low molecular weight, made the series an attractive lead (antibacterial ligand efficiency (ALE) >0.4). The series exhibited excellent bactericidal activity and was active against drug-sensitive and resistant Mtb. Mutational analysis showed that mutations in prrB impart resistance to DAT compounds but not to reference drugs tested. The sensor kinase PrrB belongs to the PrrBA two component system and is potentially the target for DAT. PrrBA is a conserved, essential regulatory mechanism in Mtb and has been shown to have a role in virulence and metabolic adaptation to stress. Hence, DATs provide an opportunity to understand a completely new target system for antimycobacterial drug discovery.

Sphingosine kinases (SphK1, SphK2) are main regulators of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which is a pleiotropic lipid mediator involved in numerous physiological and pathophysiological functions. SphKs are targets for novel anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents that can promote cell apoptosis and modulate autoimmune diseases. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis and evaluation of an aminothiazole class of SphK inhibitors. Potent inhibitors have been discovered through a series of modifications using the known SKI-II scaffold to define structure-activity relationships. We identified N-(4-methylthiazol-2-yl)-(2,4′-bithiazol)-2′-amine (24, ST-1803; IC50values: 7.3 μM (SphK1), 6.5 μM (SphK2)) as a promising candidate for further in vivo investigations and structural development.

As part of our program to study neurotransmitter releasers, we report herein a class of hybrid dopamine reuptake inhibitors that display serotonin releasing activity. Hybrid compounds are interesting since they increase the design potential of transporter related compounds and hence represent a novel and unexplored strategy for therapeutic drug discovery. A series of N-alkylpropiophenones was synthesized and assessed for uptake inhibition and release activity using rat brain synaptosomes. Substitution on the aromatic ring yielded compounds that maintained hybrid activity, with the two disubstituted analogues (PAL-787 and PAL-820) having the most potent hybrid activity.

Present studies have shown that the lipid carrier has a significant role in several aspects of metabolic syndrome in A-FABP/ap2-deficient mice, including type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. 38 Thiazole- and indole-based derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their inhibitory effects on the production of LPS-stimulated TNF-α. Among them, 12b exhibited an excellent inhibitory efficiency compared to BMS309403 (95% vs. 85%) at the concentration of 10 μM and a binding affinity for ap2 with the apparent Ki values 33 nM. Oral administration of 12b at a dosage of 50 mg/kg effectively reduced the levels of plasma blood glucose, triglycerides, insulin, total cholesterol and alanine aminotransferase in high-fat/diet-induced obesity model. The results highlighted that 12b was a potent anti-diabetic agent.

These derivatives can be synthesized in one-pot and a small SAR of the substitution within these series afforded several compounds that counteracted tau-induced cell toxicity at nanomolar concentrations. These congeners therefore have strong potential as possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other related tauopathies.

Their in vitro pharmacological properties were examined by [3H] dopamine ([3H]DA), [3H]serotonin ([3H]5HT), and [3H]norepinephrine ([3H]NE) uptake inhibition studies, and by binding studies at the dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine transporters using [125I]RTI-55 in cloned transporters. Several analogues showed increased [3H]DAuptake inhibition with reduced or little change in [3H]5HT and [3H]NE uptake inhibition relative to bupropion. Thirty-five analogues were evaluated in a 1 h locomotor activity observation test and 32 in an 8 h locomotor activity observation test and compared to the locomotor activity of cocaine. Twenty-four analogues were evaluated for generalization to cocaine drug discrimination after i.p. administration, and twelve analogues were tested in a time course cocaine discrimination study using oral administration. 2-(N-Cyclopropylamino)-3- chloropropiophenone (1x) had the most favorable in vitro efficacy and in vivo pharmacological profile for an indirect dopamine agonist pharmacotherapy for treating cocaine, methamphetamine, nicotine, and other drugs of abuse addiction. 2009 American Chemical Society.

- Acid-mediated cyclization of 3-benzoyl-2-cyanobutyronitrile to 2-amino-4-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-carbonitrile
-
Cyclization of 3-benzoyl-2-cyanobutyronitrile to 2-amino-4-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-carbonitrile was effected under acidic conditions, rather than the basic conditions previously reported. Since treatment with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at room temperature is very mild, 2-amino-4-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-carbonitriles containing various functional groups can be accessed via this route.

- N-aminoimidazole derivatives inhibiting retroviral replication via a yet unidentified mode of action
-
The synthesis of a series of N-aminoimidazoles (NAIMs) with an uncommon spectrum of antiretroviral activity is described. From a group of 60 closely related molecules, we were able to subdivide the molecules in different groups based on their anti-HIV and anti-SIV activity in vitro: (i) molecules acting on a new, immediate postintegration step, (ii) molecules acting on both postintegration and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) as NNRTI, and (iii) molecules that mainly act at the HIV-1 RT according to an NNRTI-type mode of action.

- Diminished reactivity of ortho-substituted phenacyl bromides toward nucleophilic displacement
-
A systematic increase of substitution rates by tert-butylamine on α-bromopropiophenones is observed with meta or para substituents with increasing electron-withdrawing ability (k x 103 L M-1 min-1 = 12.7 (p-CH3), 15.7 (o-F), 20.5 (H), 20.0 (p-Cl), 23.6 (m-Cl), 27.3 (p-CF3)). Within an ortho-substituted series, the reactivities decrease (k x 103 L M-1 min-1 = 7.64 (o-OCH3), 5.31 (o-CH3), 2.85 (o-Cl), 2.40 (o-CF3)). Ortho-substitution results occur from rotational barrier effects and an Aδσ + Bδσ + repulsion. The major bonding contribution between reaction and α-substituent centers (A-B) is only the σ bond. When π bonding is allowed between A and B (meta/para-substitution), delocalization and stabilization of the reacting center occurs.

- N.C.A. 18F-labelled norephedrine derivatives via α-aminopropiophenones
-
N-protected 2-amino-1-([18F]fluorophenyl)-1-propanones are interesting fluorine-18 labelled intermediates to synthesize potential PET-tracers for mapping the adrenergic nervous system of the heart. Several N-protected α-aminoalkylarylketones were prepared to examine the direct nucleophilic n.c.a. 18F-fluorination of these carbonyl activated precursors. The influence of different protecting groups, the kind of leaving group and the stereoselective reduction of the keto function have been investigated in order to optimize the radiotracer production. It was shown that the 18F-substitution of the para-trimethylammonium group, e.g. of N-dibenzylated propiophenone, leads to radiochemical yields of up to 60%. The stereoselective reduction of the carbonyl function with formation of the n.c.a. erythro 2-N,N-dibenzylamino-1-(4-[18F]fluorophenyl)-1-propanol was performed using BH3·THF. The diastereomeric excess was about 80%. Hydrogenolytical debenzylation was achieved with ammonium formiate in presence of palladium on charcoal to give the 4-[18F]fluoronorephedrine with a radiochemical yield of 15-20% within a total time of 60 min.
