The retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) is an important nuclear receptor that regulates the differentiation of Th17 cells and production of interleukin 17(IL-17). RORγt agonists increase basal activity of RORγt and could provide a potential approach to cancer immunotherapy. Herein, hit compound 1 was identified as a weak RORγt agonist during in-house library screening. Changes in LHS core of 1 led to the identification of tetrahydroquinoline compound 6 as a partial RORγt agonist (max. act. = 39.3%). Detailed structure-activity relationship on substituent of the LHS core, amide linker and RHS arylsulfonyl moiety was explored and a novel series of tetrahydroquinolines and benzomorpholines was discovered as potent RORγt agonists. Tetrahydroquinoline compound 8g (EC50 = 8.9 ± 0.4 nM, max. act. = 104.5%) and benzomorpholine compound 9g (EC50 = 7.5 ± 0.6 nM, max. act. = 105.8%) were representative compounds with high RORγt agonistic activity in dual FRET assay, and they showed good activity in cell-based Gal4 reporter gene assay and Th17 cell differentiation assay (104.5% activation at 300 nM of 8g; 59.4% activation at 300 nM of 9g). The binding modes of 8g and 9g as well as the two RORγt inverse agonists accidentally discovered were also discussed.

DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) are collections of chemical moieties individually coupled to distinctive DNA barcodes. Compounds can be displayed either at the end of a single DNA strand (i. e., single-pharmacophore libraries) or at the extremities of two complementary DNA strands (i. e., dual-pharmacophore libraries). In this work, we describe the use of a dual-pharmacophore encoded self-assembly chemical (ESAC) library for the affinity maturation of a known 4,5-dihydrobenzodiazepinone ring (THBD) acetyl-lysine (KAc) mimic for the cyclic-AMP response element binding protein (CREB) binding protein (CREBBP or CBP) bromodomain. The new pair of fragments discovered from library selection showed a sub-micromolar affinity for the CREBBP bromodomain in fluorescence polarization and ELISA assays, and selectivity against BRD4(1).

Simultaneous formation of C-C/C-N bonds provides insight into the bottom-up synthesis of N-heterocycles. This work reports Ni0/Niδ+ synergistic catalysis on the surface of Ni nanoparticles for the highly efficient one-pot formation of C-C/C-N bonds, affording 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline and its derivatives from 2-amino benzyl alcohol and ethanol without any addition of liquor base or external hydrogen. Ni0/Niδ+ synergistic catalysis has been achieved by regulating the Ni particle size or activating the Ni surface with O2. In the dehydrogenation of -CH2-OH to -CH=O, the formation of C==C and C=N bonds via concurrent cross-condensation, and the transformation of C=C/C=N to C-C/C-N via hydrogen transfer, ethanol dehydrogenation has been found to be the rate-determining step. Reducing the Ni particle size effectively increases the number of surface Niδ+ sites, which accelerates catalytic dehydrogenation through synergistic catalysis between surface Niδ+ and Ni0 sites. The number of surface Niδ+ sites can be further increased by appropriately activating the Ni surface with O2
