In order to explore the interactions of bisphosphonate ligands with the active site and an allosteric pocket of the human farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (hFPPS), substituted indole and azabenzimidazole bisphosphonates were designed as chameleon ligands. NMR and crystallographic studies revealed that these compounds can occupy both sub-pockets of the active site cavity, as well as the allosteric pocket of hFPPS in the presence of the enzyme's Mg2+ ion cofactor. These results are consistent with the previously proposed hypothesis that the allosteric pocket of hFPPS, located near the active site, plays a feed-back regulatory role for this enzyme.

A modified synthetic approach to the synthesis of heterocyclic food mutagens, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PHIP) and 2-amino-1,6-dimethylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (DMIP) is reported. This route highlights an optimized palladium catalysed Buchwald cross-coupling of 2-halo-1-methyl-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine with benzophenoneimine followed by acidic hydrolysis to yield compound 7. Using finely tailored conditions, Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with highly efficient catalytic systems were performed as the final step on 8 to introduce the aryl group and methyl group on the heterocyclic core.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Synthesis of 2-amino-1-methyl-6- phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), three structural isomers, and two desphenyl PhIP congeners has been carried out. Mutagenic potency was evaluated using S. typhimurium strain TA98 in the Ames test. Mutagenic potency increased in relation to structural features in these heterocyclic amines that allow extended resonance between the phenyl and imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine N2-amino substituents. By contrast, PhIP isomers, whose substitution disallows involvement of the phenyl group in their ammoimidazo resonance hybrids, and desphenyl congeners were from 86- to 234-fold less mutagenic than PhIP.
