Positive allosteric modulation of the cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) has demonstrated distinct therapeutic advantages that address several limitations associated with orthosteric agonism and has opened a promising therapeutic avenue for further drug development. To advance the development of CB1R positive allosteric modulators, it is important to understand the molecular architecture of CB1R allosteric site(s). The goal of this work was to use Force-Biased MMC Simulated Annealing to identify binding sites for GAT228 (R), a partial allosteric agonist, and GAT229 (S), a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) at the CB1R. Our studies suggest that GAT228 binds in an intracellular (IC) TMH1-2-4 exosite that would allow this compound to act as a CB1 allosteric agonist as well as a CB1 PAM. In contrast, GAT229 binds at the extracellular (EC) ends of TMH2/3, just beneath the EC1 loop. At this site, this compound can act as CB1 PAM only. Finally, these results were successfully validated through the synthesis and biochemical evaluation of a focused library of compounds.

An environmentally friendly and efficient protocol (KX/oxone) for oxidative halocyclization of tryptamine/tryptophol derivatives was developed and demonstrated with 28 examples and concise total synthesis of cyclotryptamine alkaloid protubonines A and B. The distinct advantage of this protocol over all previous methods is that no organic byproduct is generated from a halogenating agent or oxidant, thus greatly reducing the environmental impact of halocyclization and facilitating the post-reaction purification.

A highly efficient asymmetric dearomatization of indoles was realized through a cascade reaction between 2-isocyanoethylindole and alkylidene malonates catalyzed by a chiral N,N-dioxide/MgII catalyst. Fused polycyclic indolines containing three stereocenters were afforded in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities through a Michael/Friedel-Crafts/Mannich cascade. When 2-substituted 2-isocyanoethylindoles were used, spiroindoline derivatives were obtained through a Michael/Friedel-Crafts reaction.
