Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) has been considered as an attractive target for metabolic disorder and liver injury, while many current FXR agonists suffer from undesirable side effects, such as pruritus. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new structure types different from current FXR agonists. In this study, a series of structural optimizations were introduced to displace the unstable coumarin and geraniol scaffolds of auraptene (AUR), a novel and safe FXR agonist. All of these efforts led to the identification of compound 14, a potent FXR agonist with nearly fourfold higher activity than AUR. Molecular modeling study suggested that compound 14 fitted well with binding pocket, and formed the key ionic bond with His291 and Arg328. In acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury model, compound 14 exerts better therapeutic effect than that of AUR, which highlighting its pharmacological potential in the treatment of drug-induced liver injury.

The synthesis of habiterpenol, a G2 checkpoint inhibitor, was achieved through the stereoselective Ti(III)-mediated radical cyclization of a β-epoxide as the key reaction. Moreover, the absolute configuration of habiterpenol was determined.

The experiment reports that 2-aryl esters can be efficiently synthesized via 1,2-aryl migration from aryl ketones using thallium(III) p-tosylate in high yields. To determine optimum conditions for conversion of aryl ketones to 2-aryl esters, the effects of solvents were examined. An initial reaction of 4'-methoxypropiophenone and perchloric acid using thallium(III) p-tosylate in ethanol afforded ethyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)propanoate in only 10% yield after 24 h at room temperature. However, the corresponding reaction in ethanol/triethyl orthoformate (4/1) was completed in 1 h between 0 °C and room temperature to give ethyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)propanoate in 94% yield. The presence of triethyl orthoformate induced rapid ketalization of enol intermediate and facilitated 1,2-migration of the 4-methoxyphenyl group. The relative effectiveness of several metal salts was also examined for conversion of 2',4'-dimethoxypropiophenone to ethyl 2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propanoate. The solvents were evaporated off under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride. The white precipitate was filtered off, and the resulting yellow solution was poured into saturated NaHCO3 solution and extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by vacuum distillation using a Kugelrohr apparatus to give 4g as a colorless liquid.
