Influenza is a major threat to millions of people worldwide. Entry inhibitors are of particular interest for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for influenza. We have previously discovered oleanolic acid (OA) to be a mild influenza hemagglutinin (HA) inhibitor. In this work, inspired by the 3D structure of HA as a homotrimeric receptor, we designed and synthesized 15 OA trimers with different linkers and central region via the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. All of the OA trimers were evaluated for their antiviral activities in vitro, and 12c, 12e, 13c, and 13d were observed to exhibit robust potency (IC50 in the submicromolar range) against influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus that was stronger than that observed with oseltamivir. In addition, these compounds also displayed strong biological activity against A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 and B/Sichuan/531/2018 (BV). The results of hemagglutination inhibition assays and surface plasmon resonance binding assays suggest that these OA trimers may interrupt the interaction between the HA protein of influenza virus and the host cell sialic acid receptor, thus blocking viral entry. These findings highlight the utility of multivalent OA conjugates to enhance the ligand-target interactions in anti-influenza virus drug design and are also helpful for studying antiviral drugs derived from natural products.

Substrate specificity is ubiquitous in biological catalysis, but less pervasive in the realm of small-molecule catalysis. Herein, we disclose an intriguing example of substrate specificity that was observed whilst exploring catalysis-based routes to generate α-fluoroketones from terminal and internal alkynes under the auspices of I(I)/I(III) catalysis. Utilising p-TolI as an inexpensive organocatalyst with Selectfluor and amine/HF mixtures, the formation of protected α-fluoroketones from simple alkynes was realised. Whilst the transient p-TolIF2 species generated in situ productively engaged with pentynyl benzoate scaffolds to generate the desired α-fluoroketone motif, augmentation or contraction of the linker suppressed catalysis. The prerequisite for this substructure was established by molecular editing and was complemented with a physical organic investigation of possible determinants.

The activity of a simple, commercially available copper salt, [Cu(NCMe)4](BF4) in intramolecular hydroamination reactions of alkynes and allenes is presented. Reactions were successfully carried out in technical acetonitrile in the presence of air. While attempts of alkene hydroamination failed, this catalyst was also found active in intermolecular aza-Michael reactions.
Regioselectivity Influences in Platinum-Catalyzed Intramolecular Alkyne O-H and N-H Additions

The steric and electronic drivers of regioselectivity in platinum-catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkoxylation are elucidated. A branch point is found that divides the process between 5-exo and 6-endo selective processes, and enol ethers can be accessed in good yields for both oxygen heterocycles. The main influence arises from an electronic effect, where the alkyne substituent induces a polarization of the alkyne that leads to preferential heteroatom attack at the more electron-deficient carbon. The electronic effects are studied in other contexts, including hydroacyloxylation and hydroamination, and similar trends in directionality are predominant although not uniformly observed.

Bile acid signaling and metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract have wide-ranging influences on systemic disease. G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1, TGR5) is one of the major effectors in bile acid sensing, with demonstrated influence on metabolic, inflammatory, and proliferative processes. The pharmacologic utility of TGR5 agonists has been limited by systemic target-related effects such as excessive gallbladder filling and blockade of gallbladder emptying. Gut-restricted TGR5 agonists, however, have the potential to avoid these side effects and consequently be developed into drugs with acceptable safety profiles. We describe the discovery and optimization of a series of gut-restricted TGR5 agonists that elicit a potent response in mice, with minimal gallbladder-related effects. The series includes 12 (TGR5 EC50: human, 143 nM; mouse, 1.2 nM), a compound with minimal systemic availability that may have therapeutic value to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or inflammatory bowel disease.

A palladium(II)-catalyzed regioselective syn-hydroarylation reaction of homopropargyl amines has been developed, wherein selectivity is controlled by a cleavable bidentate directing group. Under the optimized reaction conditions, both dialkyl and alkylaryl alkyne substrates were found to undergo hydroarylation with high selectivity. The products of this reaction contain a 4,4-disubstituted homoallylic amine motif that is commonly seen in drug molecules and other bioactive compounds.

Heterosubstituted aminoallenes underwent smooth ruthenium-catalyzed intramolecular exo-hydroamination reactions yielding the corresponding five-, six-, or seven-membered 1,3-diaza- or 1,3-oxaza-heterocyclic structures. This procedure is a valuable and less expensive alternative to the already known transition metal-catalyzed hydroamination reactions of aminoallenes.
Redox-based probes as tools to monitor oxidized protein tyrosine phosphatases in living cells

Reversible oxidation of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) has emerged as an important regulatory mechanism whereby reactive oxygen species (ROS) inactivates the PTP and promotes phosphorylation and induction of the signaling cascade. The lack of sensitive and robust methods to directly detect oxidized PTPs has made it difficult to understand the effects that PTP oxidative inactivation play in redox signaling. We report the use of redox-based probes to directly detect oxidized PTPs in a cellular context, which highlights the importance of direct approaches to assist in the study of physiological and pathophysiological PTP activity in redox regulation. We also demonstrate, as a proof-of-concept, that these redox-based probes serve as prototypes for the design and development of a new class of inhibitors for phosphatases. We envision a nucleophile reacting with the oxidized inactive catalytic cysteine to generate an irreversible thioether adduct which prevents the phosphatase from being reactivated and ultimately fortifies the signaling cascade. Our results reveal the potential of translation of our redox-based probes, which are used to understand redox cell circuitry and disease biology, to small-molecule nucleophile-based inhibitors, which may treat diseases associated with redox stress. This may have implications in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and cancer.
