Paragraph 01301; 01302, (2015/04/28)
The invention is concerned with the compounds of formula I or II: and salts thereof. In addition, the present invention relates to methods of manufacturing and methods of using the compounds of formula I or II as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. The compounds may be useful in treating diseases and conditions mediated by TRPA1, such as pain.
HIV protease inhibitors

Page/Page column 63, (2010/02/11)
Combinatorial libraries of HIV and FIV protease inhibitors are characterized by alpha-keto amide or hydroxyethylamine core structures flanked by on one side by substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines, or azasugars and on the other side by phenylalanine, tyrosine, or substituted tyrosines. The libraries are synthesized via a one step coupling reaction. Highly efficacious drug candidates are identified by screening the libraries for binding and inhibitory activity against both HIV and FIV protease. Drug candidates displaying clinically useful activity against both HIV and FIV protease are identified as being potentially resistive against a loss of inhibitory activity due to development of resistant strains of HIV.
Synthesis of new didemnin B analogs for investigations of structure/biological activity relationships

Modifications were introduced in the side chain of didemnin B to afford several analogs (1f-1j) for biological testing in order to identify the features responsible for the bioactivity of the natural products (1a-1c). To achieve our goal, two changes were made in the proline ring of the b-turn side chain. Initially, a hydroxyl group was incorporated at the C-4 position of the ring to increase the polar nature of the molecule. Secondly, unsaturation was introduced at C-3 and C-4 to increase the rigidity of the ring and to provide a site for tritiation to follow the drug pathway in biological systems. Improvements were also introduced in the macrocycle construction to produce gram quantities of this unit (1d) for the preparation of the planned analogs. The linear precursor to the macrocycle was oxidized more effectively with 1,1,1-triacetoxy-1,1-dihydro-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (Dess-Martin periodinane reagent), and cyclization yields were increased substantially by using a new coupling reagent, pentafluorophenyl diphenylphosphinate (FDPP). (1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) and pentafluorophenyl trifluoroacetate were also used to improve other coupling reactions.
