While bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids are the mainstay of asthma treatment, up to 50% of asthmatics remain uncontrolled. Many studies show that the cysteinyl leukotriene cascade remains highly activated in some asthmatics, even those on high-dose inhaled or oral corticosteroids. Hence, inhibition of the leukotriene C4 synthase (LTC4S) enzyme could provide a new and differentiated core treatment for patients with a highly activated cysteinyl leukotriene cascade. Starting from a screening hit (3), a program to discover oral inhibitors of LTC4S led to (1S,2S)-2-({5-[(5-chloro-2,4-difluorophenyl)(2-fluoro-2-methylpropyl)amino]-3-methoxypyrazin-2-yl}carbonyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (AZD9898) (36), a picomolar LTC4S inhibitor (IC50 = 0.28 nM) with high lipophilic ligand efficiency (LLE = 8.5), which displays nanomolar potency in cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cell, IC50,free = 6.2 nM) and good in vivo pharmacodynamics in a calcium ionophore-stimulated rat model after oral dosing (in vivo, IC50,free = 34 nM). Compound 36 mitigates the GABA binding, hepatic toxicity signal, and in vivo toxicology findings of an early lead compound 7 with a human dose predicted to be 30 mg once daily.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Bifunctional (thio)urea-based cinchona alkaloid derivatives have been shown to promote highly efficient enantioselective desymmetrization reactions of meso anhydrides. The most selective of these catalysts is capable of the enantioselective methanolysis of succinic and glutaric anhydride derivatives to form hemiester products with >90% yield and enantiomeric excess at 1 mol % loading and ambient temperature.

Fourteen new alkyl 2-cyclopropylacrylates 1a-n with various substituents R1-R5 were synthesized from readily available precursors by applying standard transformations such as cyanohydrin formation from an aldehyde, alcoholysis to an α-hydroxycarboxylic ester, oxidation and Wittig methylenation of an α-oxocarboxylic ester. Overall yields ranged from 33 to 54%. A new method for the hydrolysis of dimethyl cyclopropanedicarboxylates to the corresponding half-esters was developed. The α-oxocarboxylates 7g-n were prepared by dirhodium tetraacetate catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes 8g-n with methyl or ethyl diazopyruvate in 32-58% yield. The monomers 1a-n were characterized by 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The radical homopolymerizations of 1a-n were carried out with 2,2′- azabisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator in chlorobenzene at 65 °C. The highest polymer yields were obtained in the polymerizations of If and 1h or 1k and 11, i.e. from monomers with an annelated five- or six-membered ring. In the case of 1h and 1k, both the polymer yields (99 and 98%, respectively) and the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of 57 and 93 °C were significantly higher than those observed for the polymer from 1,1-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-vinylcyclopropane (DECVCP), which was used as a benchmark for the monomer reactivities in the radical polymerizations of all the vinylcyclopropane derivatives 1a-n. The bicyclic monomers 1h and 1k also demonstrated drastically improved reactivities in the radical copolymerization with methyl methacrylate when compared to DECVCP. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
