Receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) plays a crucial role in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced necroptosis, suggesting that this pathway might be druggable. Most inhibitors of RIPK1 are classified as either type II or type III kinase inhibitors. This opened up some interesting perspectives for the discovery of novel inhibitors that target the active site of RIPK1. Tozasertib, a type I pan-aurora kinase (AurK) inhibitor, was found to show a very high affinity for RIPK1. Because tozasertib presents the typical structural elements of a type I kinase inhibitor, the development of structural analogues of tozasertib is a good starting point for identifying novel type I RIPK1 inhibitors. In this paper, we identified interesting inhibitors of mTNF-induced necroptosis with no significant effect on AurK A and B, resulting in no nuclear abnormalities as is the case for tozasertib. Compounds 71 and 72 outperformed tozasertib in an in vivo TNF-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) mouse model.

Rationale: Mass spectrometry is known as an excellent method to predict the behavior of organic compounds in solution. The behavior of organic compounds in the gas phase inside the ion source of a mass spectrometer allows their intrinsic properties to be defined, avoiding the influence of intermolecular interactions, counter ions and solvent effects. Methods: Arylpyrrolidin-2-ones were obtained by condensed-phase synthesis from the corresponding N-arylcyclopropanecarboxamides. Electron ionization (EI) with accurate mass measurements by high-resolution time-of-flight mass-spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations were used to understand the behavior of the molecular radical cations of N-arylcyclopropanecarboxamides and N-arylpyrrolidin-2-ones in the ion source of a mass spectrometer. The geometries of the molecules, transition states, and intermediates were fully optimized using DFT-PBE calculations. Results: Fragmentation schemes, ion structures, and possible mechanisms of primary isomerisation were proposed for isomeric N-arylcyclopropanecarboxamides and N-arylpyrrolidin-2-ones. Based on the fragmentation pattern of the N-arylcyclopropanecarboxamides, isomerisation of the original M+? ions into the M+? ions of the N-arylpyrrolidin-2-ones was shown to be only a minor process. In contrast, this cyclization proceeds easily in the condensed phase in the presence of Br?nsted acids. Conclusions: Based on the experimental data and quantum chemical calculations the principal mechanism of decomposition of the molecular ions of N-arylcyclopropanecarboxamides involves their direct fragmentation without any rearrangements. An alternative mechanism is responsible for the isomerisation of a small portion of the higher energy molecular ions into the corresponding N-arylpyrrolidin-2-one ions. Copyright

We report here a new catalytic reaction in which, para-nitro azides are acylated by aldehydes to produce amides and molecular nitrogen in a single step. The transformation is believed to proceed via an electron transfer process mediated by the tert-butoxide ion, and catalysed by a thiazolium salt derived species. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.
