Targeting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) is a potential therapeutic strategy to control diseases involving oxidative stress. Here, six classes of known small-molecule Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors were dissected into 77 fragments in a fragment-based deconstruction reconstruction (FBDR) study and tested in four orthogonal assays. This gave 17 fragment hits of which six were shown by X-ray crystallography to bind in the Keap1 Kelch binding pocket. Two hits were merged into compound 8 with a 220-380-fold stronger affinity (Ki = 16 μM) relative to the parent fragments. Systematic optimization resulted in several novel analogues with Ki values of 0.04-0.5 μM, binding modes determined by X-ray crystallography, and enhanced microsomal stability. This demonstrates how FBDR can be used to find new fragment hits, elucidate important ligand-protein interactions, and identify new potent inhibitors of the Keap1-Nrf2 PPI.

A Cu-mediated ligand-free arylation of NH-sulfoximines and sulfonamides by arylhydrazine hydrochlorides was herein demonstrated. The oxidative transformation provided an easy access towards N-aryl sulfoximines and sulfonamides in high yields (up to 93% yields) with broad functional groups tolerance (up to 36 examples). The protocol was proposed to take place through the free radical pathway based on the results of control reactions and EPR analysis.

N-Phenylbenzenesulfonamides exist preferentially in (+)- or (-)-synclinal conformations, which place the aromatic rings at both ends in the same direction with a twist. We have systematically analyzed the crystal structure of secondary aromatic sulfonamides bearing methyl, ethyl, and/or methoxy groups on the benzene rings. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the sulfonamide protons and sulfonyl oxygens was observed in 81 out of 85 crystals. The intermolecular hydrogen-bonding patterns could be classified into four types, i.e. Dimeric, Zigzag, Helical, and Straight patterns, with retention of the synclinal conformation of the sulfonamide moiety. We investigated the relationship between the hydrogen-bonding pattern and the proportion of the compounds that show chiral crystallization. On the basis of our classification of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of aromatic sulfonamides, the crystals with Dimeric and Zigzag patterns, which both have enantiomeric synclinal conformers, intrinsically become achiral, except for kryptoracemates. In contrast, a high proportion of compounds with Helical or Straight patterns in the crystals showed chiral crystallization. Our classification is useful for discussion regarding the chirality of molecular assemblies, on the basis of the conformational chirality of the molecules in the crystal.
