The α/β-peptide 11/9-helix and the β-peptide 12/10-helix belong to mixed helices, in which two types of hydrogen bonds with opposite directionality alternate along the helical axis. cis-2-Aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (cis-ACHC) is known to promote these mixed helices and stabilize the helical propensity more than other acyclic β-residues. Application of a mixed-helical backbone still requires sufficient solubility in aqueous solution. In this regard, we chose cis-4-aminopiperidine-3-carboxylic acid (cis-APiC) as a foldamer building block that can provide both sufficient aqueous solubility and mixed-helical propensity. Conformational analyses of α/β- and β-peptides containing a cis-APiC residue by circular dichroism spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray crystallography suggest that the incorporation of cis-APiC instead of cis-ACHC can enhance the aqueous solubility of the mixed-helical peptides without any adverse effect on helical folding. In addition, the ratio between right- and left-handed 12/10-helices of β-peptides can be rationalized by relative energies between the local conformations of the cis-APiC residue. This journal is

The chemokine receptor CXCR7, also known as ACKR3, is a seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) involved in various pathologies such as neurological diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. By binding and scavenging the chemokines CXCL11 and CXCL12, CXCR7 regulates their extracellular levels. From an original high-throughput screening campaign emerged hit 3 among others. The hit-to-lead optimization led to the discovery of a novel chemotype series exemplified by the trans racemic compound 11i. This series provided CXCR7 antagonists that block CXCL11- and CXCL12-induced ?-arrestin recruitment. Further structural modifications on the trisubstituted piperidine scaffold of 11i yielded compounds with high CXCR7 antagonistic activities and balanced ADMET properties. The effort described herein culminated in the discovery of ACT-1004-1239 (28f). Biological characterization of ACT-1004-1239 demonstrated that it is a potent, insurmountable antagonist. Oral administration of ACT-1004-1239 in mice up to 100 mg/kg led to a dose-dependent increase of plasma CXCL12 concentration.

AZD5099 (compound 63) is an antibacterial agent that entered phase 1 clinical trials targeting infections caused by Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative bacteria. It was derived from previously reported pyrrolamide antibacterials and a fragment-based approach targeting the ATP binding site of bacterial type II topoisomerases. The program described herein varied a 3-piperidine substituent and incorporated 4-thiazole substituents that form a seven-membered ring intramolecular hydrogen bond with a 5-position carboxylic acid. Improved antibacterial activity and lower in vivo clearances were achieved. The lower clearances were attributed, in part, to reduced recognition by the multidrug resistant transporter Mrp2. Compound 63 showed notable efficacy in a mouse neutropenic Staphylococcus aureus infection model. Resistance frequency versus the drug was low, and reports of clinical resistance due to alteration of the target are few. Hence, 63 could offer a novel treatment for serious issues of resistance to currently used antibacterials.
