Discovery and Characterization of CD12681, a Potent RORγ Inverse Agonist, Preclinical Candidate for the Topical Treatment of Psoriasis

With possible implications in multiple autoimmune diseases, the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor RORγ has become a sought-after target in the pharmaceutical industry. Herein are described the efforts to identify a potent RORγ inverse agonist compatible with topical application for the treatment of skin diseases. These efforts culminated in the discovery of N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-N-isobutyl-2-oxo-1-[(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-sulfonamide (CD12681), a potent inverse agonist with in vivo activity in an IL-23-induced mouse skin inflammation model.

Aryl-Diadamantyl Phosphine Ligands in Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions: Synthesis, Structural Analysis, and Application

Synthesis, temperature-dependent NMR structure investigation and utilization of a new, stable and easily accessible aryl-diadamantylphosphine ligand family is reported. The bulky and electron-rich phosphorus center of the ligand enhances the catalytic activity of palladium in cross-coupling reactions of sterically demanding ortho-substituted aryl halides. In our study, we demonstrated the synthetic applicability of the new phosphine ligands in Buchwald-Hartwig and tosyl hydrazone coupling reactions.

Catalytic Selective Oxidative Coupling of Secondary N-Alkylanilines: An Approach to Azoxyarene

Azoxyarenes are among important scaffolds in organic molecules. Direct oxidative coupling of primary anilines provides a concise fashion to construct them. However, whether these scaffolds can be prepared from secondary N-alkylanilines is not well explored. Here, we present a catalytic selective oxidative coupling of secondary N-alkylaniline to afford azoxyarene with tungsten catalyst under mild conditions. In addition, azoxy can be viewed as a bioisostere of alkene and amide. Several "azoxyarene analogues" of the corresponding bioactive alkenes and amides showed comparable promising anticancer activities.

INDAZOLE SULFONAMIDE DERIVATIVES AS INVERSE AGONISTS OF RETINOID-RELATED ORPHAN RECEPTOR GAMMA (ROR GAMMA (T))

Indazole sulfonamide derivatives of formula (I), the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts thereof, the hydrates and/or solvates thereof, and the use of same as inverse agonists of retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma RORγt are described. Pharmaceutical compositions including such compounds, as well as the use thereof for the topical and/or oral treatment of RORγt receptor-mediated inflammatory diseases, in particular acne, psoriasis and/or atopic dermatitis are also described.

Arylation of Amines in Alkane Solvents by using Well-Defined Palladium-N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes

The use of the ITent-based series of Pd-N-heterocyclic carbenes precatalysts (Tent= Tentacular) enables the Buchwald-Hartwig amine arylation reaction in apolar alkane solvents. The use of such solvents is rare because of their poor solvation properties. Nonetheless, they could be of interest for industrial applications, as they can be disposed of in an energetically favorable manner and may potentially simplify product isolation. The excellent solubility of the precatalysts permitted the desired products to be obtained in yields ranging from 75 to 96 %, even with deactivated and functionalized coupling partners.

Large yet flexible N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for palladium catalysis

A straightforward and scalable eight-step synthesis of new N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been developed from inexpensive and readily available 2-nitro-m-xylene. This process allows for the preparation of a novel class of NHCs coined ITent ("Tent" for "tentacular") of which the well-known IMes (N,N′-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene), IPr (N,N′-bis(2,6-di(2-propyl)phenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) and IPent (N,N′-bis(2,6-di(3-pentyl)phenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) NHCs are the simplest and already known congeners. The synthetic route was successfully used for the preparation of three members of the ITent family: IPent (N,N′-bis(2,6- di(3-pentyl)phenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene), IHept (N,N′-bis(2,6-di(4-heptyl) phenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) and INon (N,N′-bis(2,6-di(5-nonyl)phenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene). The electronic and steric properties of each NHC were studied through the preparation of both nickel and palladium complexes. Finally the effect of these new ITent ligands in Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald-Hartwig cross-couplings was investigated.

(Chemical Equation Presented) An air- and moisture-stable palladium catalyst, [(CyPF-1Bu)PdCI2] (1), for coupling of heteroaryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides with a variety of primary amines is described. Most of these reactions occurred in high yield with 0.001-0.05 mol % catalyst loading. The reactions tolerated a wide range of functional groups.

Synthesis of Pyrrolidines and Pyrrolidinones by the Rhodium Complex Catalyzed Cyclization of Unsaturated Amines

N-Allylic arylamines react with carbon monoxide, sodium borohydride, 2-propanol, and catalytic amounts of the zwitterionic complex η6-C6H6BPh3-Rh(COD)+ (1), to form pyrrolidines as the main products in most cases.Pyrrolidinones result from N-allylic alkylamines.An alternate route to the lactams from N-allylic alkylamines involves synthesis gas instead of CO/NaBH4, together with the dual catalytic system 1/2.Complementary to the N-allylic arylamine route to pyrrolidines with NaBH4 and 1 is the use of synthesis gas, 1, and 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane.
