Matriptase is a cell-surface trypsin-like serine protease of epithelial origin, which cleaves and activates proteins including hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor and proteases such as uPA, which are involved in the progression of various cancers. Here we report a fragment-linking approach, which led to the discovery of O-(3-carbamimidoylphenyl)-l-serine amides as potent matriptase inhibitors. The co-crystal structure of one of the potent inhibitors, 6 in complex with matriptase catalytic domain validated the working hypothesis guiding the development of this congeneric series and revealed the structural basis for matriptase inhibition. Replacement of a naphthyl group in 6 with 2,4,6-tri-isopropyl phenyl resulted in 10 with improved matriptase inhibition, which exhibited significant primary tumor growth inhibition in a mouse model of prostate cancer. Compounds such as 10, identified using a fragment-linking approach, can be explored further to understand the role of matriptase as a drug target in cancer and inflammation.

The reaction of L-serine derived N-arylnitrones with alkylarylketenes generates asymmetric 3-alkyl-3-aryloxindoles in good to excellent yields (up to 93%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee) via a pericyclic cascade process. The optimization, scope and applications of this transformation are reported, alongside further synthetic and computational investigations. The preparation of the enantiomer of a Roche anti-cancer agent (RO4999200) 1 (96% ee) in three steps demonstrates the potential utility of this methodology.

The reaction of chiral N-arylnitrones with carbocyclic alkylarylketenes generates spirocyclic oxindoles in good yields and with excellent levels of enantioselectivity (90-99% ee) via a pericyclic cascade process.

A new pericyclic cascade is proposed for the chiral auxiliary-controlled synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles from nitrones and ketenes. The remarkable acyclic 1,6-stereochemical induction, hitherto unexplained, is rationalized by a stereoselective 3+
