The human mitotic kinesin Eg5 represents a novel mitotic spindle target for cancer chemotherapy. We previously identified S-trityl-l-cysteine (STLC) and related analogues as selective potent inhibitors of Eg5. We herein report on the development of a series of 4,4,4-triphenylbutan-1-amine inhibitors derived from the STLC scaffold. This new generation systematically improves on potency: the most potent C-trityl analogues exhibit Kiapp ≥ 10 nM and GI50 ≈ 50 nM, comparable to results from the phase II clinical benchmark ispinesib. Crystallographic studies reveal that they adopt the same overall binding configuration as S-trityl analogues at an allosteric site formed by loop L5 of Eg5. Evaluation of their druglike properties reveals favorable profiles for future development and, in the clinical candidate ispinesib, moderate hERG and CYP inhibition. One triphenylbutanamine analogue and ispinesib possess very good bioavailability (51% and 45%, respectively), with the former showing in vivo antitumor growth activity in nude mice xenograft studies.

The electrophilic reactivity of α,β-unsaturated amides towards weak nucleophiles such as arenes and cyclohexane, initiated either with triflic acid (CF3SO3H) or with excess AlCl3, has been studied. The amides generally condense readily with aromatics in the presence of AlCl3 to give 3-arylpropionamides and related compounds in excellent yields, while some amides also undergo selective ionic hydrogenation with cyclohexane to give saturated amides. The proposed mechanism of these reactions involves dicationic intermediates (superelectrophiles). The direct observation of a dicationic species (by low-temperature NMR) is reported.
