CXCR4 is a seven-transmembrane receptor expressed by hematopoietic stem cells and progeny, as well as by ≥48 different cancers types. CXCL12, the only chemokine ligand of CXCR4, is secreted within the tumor microenvironment, providing sanctuary for CXCR4+ tumor cells from immune surveillance and chemotherapeutic elimination by (1) stimulating prosurvival signaling and (2) recruiting CXCR4+ immunosuppressive leukocytes. Additionally, distant CXCL12-rich niches attract and support CXCR4+ metastatic growths. Accordingly, CXCR4 antagonists can potentially obstruct CXCR4-mediated prosurvival signaling, recondition the CXCR4+ leukocyte infiltrate from immunosuppressive to immunoreactive, and inhibit CXCR4+ cancer cell metastasis. Current small molecule CXCR4 antagonists suffer from poor oral bioavailability and off-target liabilities. Herein, we report a series of novel tetrahydroisoquinoline-containing CXCR4 antagonists designed to improve intestinal absorption and off-target profiles. Structure-activity relationships regarding CXCR4 potency, intestinal permeability, metabolic stability, and cytochrome P450 inhibition are presented.

Catalytic chemoselective hydrogenation of organic azides using palladium nanoparticles stabilized by alkyne derivatives was studied. A broad range of aromatic and aliphatic azides were smoothly reduced to the corresponding amines in excellent yields with a quite small amount of the catalyst. Hydrogenation of 3-phenylpropylazide gave 3-phenylpropylamine almost quantitatively with a substrate-to-palladium molar ratio (S/Pd) of 12,900 under 8?atm of H2. The reaction under 1?atm of H2also proceeded smoothly with an S/Pd of 1000. Several reduction-sensitive functional groups, such as carbonyl, halide, benzylic OH, and aliphatic nitro were well tolerated under the reaction conditions.

A novel atom-economic three-component one-pot reaction of a primary amine, an S-alkylisothiouronium salt and a Michael receptor is reported, which affords a guanidinium salt and thioether simultaneously. The guanidine moiety is involved in catalyzing the conjugated Michael addition of the mercaptan. The reaction proceeds under ambient conditions using a non-toxic EtOH-H2O mixture as the solvent, and the two products can be very easily purified. Complete atom economy is achieved by fully utilizing the S-alkylisothiouronium salt and converting the previously wasted mercaptan by-product into the valuable thioether.
