The voltage gated sodium channel NaV1.8 has been postulated to play a key role in the transmission of pain signals. Core hopping from our previously reported phenylimidazole leads has allowed the identification of a novel series of benzimidazole NaV1.8 blockers. Subsequent optimization allowed the identification of compound 9, PF-06305591, as a potent, highly selective blocker with an excellent preclinical in vitro ADME and safety profile.

Polycyclic proline-derived scaffolds (ProMs) have recently demonstrated their value as conformationally defined dipeptide analogs for the modular construction of secondary structure mimetics, specifically interfering with PPII helix-mediated protein-protein interactions. We disclose the stereoselective synthesis of two new tricyclic amino acid scaffolds (ProM-4 and ProM-8) that differ from the first generation scaffold ProM-1 by the size of ring A. Conformational preferences and subtle structural differences of the three homologous scaffolds were analyzed by X-ray crystallography, computational calculations, and NMR spectroscopy. N-tert-butoxycarbonyl(Boc)-3-(1-propenyl)azetidine-2-carboxylic acid was prepared from L-aspartic acid through β-lactam intermediates. The corresponding piperidine-based building block rac-N-Boc-3-vinylpipecolic acid was synthesized by Cu-catalyzed 1,4-addition of vinyl-MgBr to methyl N-Boc-2,3-dehydropipecolate. Target molecules were prepared through peptide coupling of the respective ring A building blocks with cis-5-vinylproline tert-butyl ester and subsequent ring-closing metathesis. Selective deprotection of a tert-butyl carbamate (N-Boc protecting group) in the presence of a tert-butyl ester was achieved with trifluoroacetic acid at 0 C. Two new tricyclic amino acid scaffolds, which differ from the first generation scaffold by the size of ring A, were stereoselectively synthesized. The conformational analysis of the three homologous scaffolds was revealed by NMR spectroscopy.

Self-assembly behaviors of a series of amino acids-based dendrons, from the first generation (G1) to the third generation (G3) with various focal moieties or peripheral groups, were systematically studied. The supramolecular structures in organogels, thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals (LCs) were measured. The influence of the focal groups, dendritic branches, and generation numbers on the mesophase of organogels or LCs was studied by a combination of experimental techniques including transmission electronic spectrometry (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), infrared (IR) spectra, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). It was found that the gelation ability of the dendrons in organic solvents was highly related to the generation; namely, none of the G1 dendrons could form organogels, G2 dendrons displayed good gelation ability, and G3 dendrons gelled the organic solvents with the lowest critical gelation concentration. Oscillatory shear measurements indicated that the gels behaved as viscoelastic materials with good tolerance to external shear force. In addition, all of G3 dendrons and some G2 dendrons were capable of self-organizing to afford the thermotropic and lyotropic LCs.
