Targeting cancer with small molecule prodrugs should help overcome problems associated with conventional cancer-targeting methods. Herein, we focused on lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) to trigger the controlled release of anticancer drugs in cancer cells, where LSD1 is highly expressed. Conjugates of the LSD1 inhibitor trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine (PCPA) were used as novel prodrugs to selectively release anticancer drugs by LSD1 inhibition. As PCPA-drug conjugate (PDC) prototypes, we designed PCPA-tamoxifen conjugates 1 a and 1 b, which released 4-hydroxytamoxifen in the presence of LSD1 in vitro. Furthermore, 1 a and 1 b inhibited the growth of breast cancer cells by the simultaneous inhibition of LSD1 and the estrogen receptor without exhibiting cytotoxicity toward normal cells. These results demonstrate that PDCs provide a useful prodrug method that may facilitate the selective release of drugs in cancer cells.

The difluoromethyl (CHF2) group has attracted significant attention in drug discovery and development efforts, owing to its ability to serve as fluorinated bioisostere of methyl, hydroxyl, and thiol groups. Herein, we report an efficient biocat
Palladium-Catalyzed, ortho-Selective C-H Halogenation of Benzyl Nitriles, Aryl Weinreb Amides, and Anilides

, p. 1114 - 1126 (2018/06/18)
A palladium-catalyzed, ortho-selective C-H halogenation methodology is reported herein. The highlight of the work is the highly selective C(sp2)-H functionalization of benzyl nitriles in the presence of activated C(sp3)-H bond, which results in good yields of the halogenated products with excellent regioselectivity. Along with benzyl nitriles, aryl Weinreb amides and anilides have been evaluated for the transformation using aprotic conditions. Mechanistic studies yield interesting aspects with respect to the pathway of the reaction and the directing group abilities.

The rhodium-catalyzed methylation of ketones has been accomplished using methanol as the methylating agent and the hydrogen-borrowing method. The sequence is notable for the relatively low temperatures that are required and for the ability of the reaction system to form α-branched products with ease. Doubly alkylated ketones can be prepared from methyl ketones and two different alcohols by using a sequential one-pot iridium- and rhodium-catalyzed process. Uniquely effective for making branched alkyl products from ketones (see scheme): The scope of the presented reaction includes aromatic and aliphatic ketones and consecutive one-pot double alkylation reactions to provide a convenient route to branched ketones from simple methyl ketones. A brief study into the mechanism of the reaction has given evidence for an aldol-based reaction pathway.
Chiral silver phosphate catalyzed transformation of ortho-alkynylaryl ketones into 1H-isochromene derivatives through an intramolecular-cyclization/ enantioselective-reduction sequence

The transformation of ortho-alkynylaryl ketones through a cyclization/enantioselective-reduction sequence in the presence of a chiral silver phosphate catalyst afforded 1H-isochromene derivatives in high yield with fairly good to high enantioselectivity. An asymmetric synthesis of the 9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-diene framework, which has been found in some biologically active molecules, is presented as a demonstration of the synthetic utility of this method. Dependent on its other half: The title reaction of ortho-alkynylaryl ketones in the presence of a silver catalyst with a chiral counteranion afforded 1H-isochromene derivatives in high yield with good to high enantioselectivity (see scheme; R1=alkyl, aryl; R2=aryl; R3=H, F). An asymmetric synthesis of the 9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6- diene framework found in biologically active molecules highlights the synthetic utility of this method. Copyright

(-)-6-(7-Methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-4-yl) -5-methyl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one (KCA-1490) exhibits moderate dual PDE3/4-inhibitory activity and promises as a combined bronchodilatory/anti- inflammatory agent. N-alkylation of the pyridazinone ring markedly enhances potency against PDE4 but suppresses PDE3 inhibition. Addition of a 6-aryl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one extension to the N-alkyl group facilitates both enhancement of PDE4-inhibitory activity and restoration of potent PDE3 inhibition. Both dihydropyridazinone rings, in the core and extension, can be replaced by achiral 4,4-dimethylpyrazolone subunits and the core pyrazolopyridine by isosteric bicyclic heteroaromatics. In combination, these modifications afford potent dual PDE3/4 inhibitors that suppress histamine-induced bronchoconstriction in vivo and exhibit promising anti-inflammatory activity via intratracheal administration.

We report the discovery of nontoxic fungicide fenarimol (1) as an inhibitor of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), the causative agent of Chagas disease, and the results of structure-activity investigations leading to potent analogues with low nM IC50s in a T. cruzi whole cell in vitro assay. Lead compounds suppressed blood parasitemia to virtually undetectable levels after once daily oral dosing in mouse models of T. cruzi infection. Compounds are chemically tractable, allowing rapid optimization of target biological activity and drug characteristics. Chemical and biological studies undertaken in the development of the fenarimol series toward the goal of delivering a new drug candidate for Chagas disease are reported.
