In the kynurenine pathway for tryptophan degradation, an unstable metabolic intermediate, α-amino-β-carboxymuconate-?-semialdehyde (ACMS), can nonenzymatically cyclize to form quinolinic acid, the precursor for de novo biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). In a competing reaction, ACMS is decarboxylated by ACMS decarboxylase (ACMSD) for further metabolism and energy production. Therefore, the inhibition of ACMSD increases NAD+ levels. In this study, an Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug, diflunisal, was found to competitively inhibit ACMSD. The complex structure of ACMSD with diflunisal revealed a previously unknown ligand-binding mode and was consistent with the results of inhibition assays, as well as a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. Moreover, two synthesized diflunisal derivatives showed half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values 1 order of magnitude better than diflunisal at 1.32 ± 0.07 μM (22) and 3.10 ± 0.11 μM (20), respectively. The results suggest that diflunisal derivatives have the potential to modulate NAD+ levels. The ligand-binding mode revealed here provides a new direction for developing inhibitors of ACMSD.

Feedstocks to Pharmacophores: Cu-Catalyzed Oxidative Arylation of Inexpensive Alkylarenes Enabling Direct Access to Diarylalkanes

A Cu-catalyzed method has been identified for selective oxidative arylation of benzylic C-H bonds with arylboronic esters. The resulting 1,1-diarylalkanes are accessed directly from inexpensive alkylarenes containing primary and secondary benzylic C-H bonds, such as toluene or ethylbenzene. All catalyst components are commercially available at low cost, and the arylboronic esters are either commercially available or easily accessible from the commercially available boronic acids. The potential utility of these methods in medicinal chemistry applications is highlighted.

Wolff-Kishner reductions are performed in a novel silicon carbide microreactor. Greatly reduced reaction times and safer operation are achieved, giving high yields without requiring a large excess of hydrazine. The corrosion resistance of silicon carbide avoids the problematic reactor compatibility issues that arise when Wolff-Kishner reductions are done in glass or stainless steel reactors. With only nitrogen gas and water as by-products, this opens the possibility of performing selective, large scale ketone reductions without the generation of hazardous waste streams.

Under open-flask conditions, an efficient method to assemble a series of diversely functionalized diarylketones in the presence of commercially available NBS has been developed. Yields of up to 99% have been achieved employing diarylmethanes as starting material. Based on 18O-labeled experiment, the addition of stoichiometric water eventually leads to excellent yields in all carbonylation cases.
A modular synthesis of teraryl-based α-helix mimetics, part 1: Synthesis of core fragments with two electronically differentiated leaving groups
Peters, Martin,Trobe, Melanie,Tan, Hao,Kleineweischede, Rolf,Breinbauer, Rolf
, p. 2442 - 2449 (2013/04/24)
Teraryl-based α-helix mimetics have proven to be useful compounds for the inhibition of protein-protein interactions (PPI). We have developed a modular and flexible approach for the synthesis of teraryl-based α-helix mimetics. Central to our strategy is the use of a benzene core unit featuring two leaving groups of differentiated reactivity in the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling used for terphenyl assembly. With the halogen/diazonium route and the halogen/triflate route, two strategies have successfully been established. The synthesis of core building blocks with aliphatic (Ala, Val, Leu, Ile), aromatic (Phe), polar (Cys, Lys), hydrophilic (Ser, Gln), and acidic (Glu) amino acid side chains are reported. Turn on: Teraryl-based α-helix mimetics can be effectively produced by sequential Suzuki coupling of a central core fragment featuring electronically differentiated leaving groups with aryl boronic pinacol esters (see scheme; dppf=1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene, DME=dimethoxyethane, Pin=pinacol, Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl). With a set of only 2×18 building blocks, all permutations of α-helix mimetics can be produced. Copyright

A very simple, mild and inexpensive palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of (hetero)arylboronic acids with benzylic halides occurs in good yield. This method was successfully expanded to two heterocyclic electrophiles and allowed onepot dual substitutions of bromobenzyl chloride, 2-chloromethyl-6- halogenoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine or -[1,2-b]pyridazine, leading to numerous new unsymmetrical methylenelinked biaryl systems.
