The YAP-TEAD transcriptional complex is responsible for the expression of genes that regulate cancer cell growth and proliferation. Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway due to overexpression of TEAD has been reported in a wide range of cancers. Inhibition of TEAD represses the expression of associated genes, demonstrating the value of this transcription factor for the development of novel anti-cancer therapies. We report herein the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of LM98, a flufenamic acid analogue. LM98 shows strong affinity to TEAD, inhibits its autopalmitoylation and reduces the YAP-TEAD transcriptional activity. Binding of LM98 to TEAD was supported by 19F-NMR studies while co-crystallization experiments confirmed that LM98 is anchored within the palmitic acid pocket of TEAD. LM98 reduces the expression of CTGF and Cyr61, inhibits MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell migration and arrests cell cycling in the S phase during cell division.

Pseudomonas mandelii KJLPB5 is reported for the oxidation of aryl alcohols in ionic liquid [hmim]Br (1-hexyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide) with H 2O2. With a slight alteration of reaction conditions, the developed protocol leads either to (i) chemoselective oxidation of 2° aryl alcohols over 1° and aliphatic counterparts or (ii) direct one pot-two step sequential conversion of 2° aryl alcohols into corresponding one or two carbons shorter aryl aldehydes through oxidative cleavage pathway, thus providing a new facet to metal-free oxidations. The key operational parameters such as substrate concentration, incubation temperature, incubation time, ionic liquid type and ionic liquid concentration are also optimized.
