Growth, division, and development of healthy cells relies on efficient response to environmental survival cues. The conserved mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family of pathways interface extracellular stimuli to intracellular processes for this purpose. Within these pathways, the MEK family has been identified as a target of interest due to its clinical relevance. Particularly, MEK4 has drawn recent attention for its indications in pancreatic and prostate cancers. Here, we report two potent MEK4 inhibitors demonstrating significant reduction of phospho-JNK and antiproliferative properties against pancreatic cancer cell lines. Furthermore, molecular inhibition of MEK4 pathway activates the MEK1/2 pathway, with the combination of MEK1/2 and MEK4 inhibitors demonstrating synergistic effects against pancreatic cancer cells. Our inhibitors provided insight into the crosstalk between MAPK pathways and new tools for elucidating the roles of MEK4 in disease states, findings which will pave the way for better understanding of the MAPK pathways and development of additional probes.

The organocatalytic aerobic oxidation of electron-deficient α-fluoroalkyl alcohols at room temperature is described. The resulting fluoroalkyl ketones are versatile synthetic intermediates for a variety of fluorine-containing molecules. This otherwise difficult transformation has now been accomplished by the reaction of α-fluoroalkyl alcohols with N-oxyl radicals, catalytically generated from 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one N-oxyl/nitrogen oxide (keto-ABNO/NOx) and oxygen in acetic acid (AcOH), affording the corresponding fluoroalkyl ketones in high yield. This operationally simple reaction can be performed under mild conditions, and was applied to a wide range of alcohols (20 examples), thus demonstrating a high functional group tolerance. Moreover, a modified one-pot protocol based on this method was able to convert an aldehyde to a trifluoromethyl ketone on a gram scale.
Substituted inmidazoles as bombesin receptor subtype-3 modulators

Page/Page column 33-34, (2010/02/17)
Certain novel substituted imidazoles are ligands of the human bombesin receptor and, in particular, are selective ligands of the human bombesin receptor subtype-3 (BRS-3). They are therefore useful for the treatment, control, or prevention of diseases and disorders responsive to the modulation of BRS-3, such as obesity, and diabetes.
