In order to survive in a mammalian host, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) produces aryl-capped siderophores known as the mycobactins for iron acquisition. Salicylic acid is a key building block of the mycobactin core and is synthesized by the bifunctional enzyme MbtI, which converts chorismate into isochorismate via a SN2″ reaction followed by further transformation into salicylate through a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. MbtI belongs to a family of chorismate-utilizing enzymes (CUEs) that have conserved topology and active site residues. The transition-state inhibitor 1 described by Bartlett, Kozlowski, and co-workers is the most potent reported inhibitor to date of CUEs. Herein, we disclose a concise asymmetric synthesis and the accompanying biochemical characterization of 1 along with three closely related analogues beginning from bromobenzene cis-1S,2S-dihydrodiol produced through microbial oxidation that features a series of regio- and stereoselective transformations for introduction of the C-4 hydroxy and C-6 amino substituents. The flexible synthesis enables late-stage introduction of the carboxy group and other bioisosteres at the C-1 position as well as installation of the enol-pyruvate side chain at the C-5 position.

The 2-phenylnaphthalene scaffold was explored as a simplified version of genistein in order to identify ER selective ligands. With the aid of docking studies, positions 1, 4, and 8 of the 2-phenylnaphthalene template were predicted to be the most potentially influential positions to enhance ER selectivity using two different binding orientations. Both orientations have the phenol moiety mimicking the A-ring of genistein. Several compounds predicted to adopt orientations similar to that of genistein when bound to ERβ were observed to have slightly higher ER affinity and selectivity than genistein. The second orientation we exploited, which was different from that of genistein when bound to ERβ, resulted in the discovery of several compounds that had superior ER selectivity and affinity versus genistein. X-ray structures of two ER selective compounds (i.e., 15 and 47) confirmed the alternate binding mode and suggested that substituents at positions 1 and 8 were responsible for inducing selectivity. One compound (i.e., 47, WAY-202196) was further examined and found to be effective in two models of inflammation, suggesting that targeting ER may be therapeutically useful in treating certain chronic inflammatory diseases.
ERβ ligands. Part 2: Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of 4-hydroxy-biphenyl-carbaldehyde oxime derivatives

A series of biphenyl carbaldehyde oximes (6) was prepared and shown to have significant selectivity for the estrogen receptor-β (ERβ). The exploitation of the oxime moiety as a hydrogen bond donating group, which mimicked the C-ring of genistein makes these compounds unique. Molecular modeling studies showed the oxime moiety hydrogen bonding to the histidine residue, which was supported by the structure-activity relationships. The most potent compounds in this study had IC50 values in a radioligand binding assay of between 8-35nM. Among the most selective compounds were 6i and 6s (49- and 31-fold ERβ selective, respectively).
