Dichloroacetophenone is a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) inhibitor with suboptimal kinase selectivity. Herein, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel dichloroacetophenones. Structure-activity relationship analyses (SARs) enabled us to identify three potent compounds, namely 54, 55, and 64, which inhibited PDK1 function, activated pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and reduced the proliferation of NCI-H1975 cells. Mitochondrial bioenergetics assay suggested that 54, 55, and 64 enhanced the oxidative phosphorylation in cancer cells, which might contribute to the observed anti-proliferation effects. Collectively, these results suggested that 54, 55, and 64 could be promising compounds for the development of potent PDK1 inhibitors.

The development of a palladium-catalyzed sp3-sp2 Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of B-alkyl-N-methyliminodiacetyl (B-alkyl MIDA) boronates and (hetero)aryl bromides is reported. This transformation is tolerant of a variety of functional groups (F, NO2, CN, Cl, COCH3, and CHO). B-Alkyl MIDA boronates allow an efficient cross-coupling reaction directed toward the synthesis of unsymmetrical methylene diaryls as well as alkylated arenes in good to excellent yields.
