Identification of polar metabolites of drug candidates during development is often challenging. Several prominent polar metabolites of 2-amino-1-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-((4-fluorophenyl)amino)-8,8-dimethyl- 5,6-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl)ethanone

Inhibition of PSD-95 has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of ischemic stroke, as shown with peptide-based compounds that target the PDZ domains of PSD-95. In contrast, developing potent and drug-like small molecules against the PSD-95 PDZ domains has so far been unsuccessful. Here, we explore the druggability of the PSD-95 PDZ1-2 domain and use fragment screening to investigate if this protein is prone to binding small molecules. We screened 2500 fragments by fluorescence polarization (FP) and validated the hits by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), including an inhibition counter-test, and found four promising fragments. Three ligand efficient fragments were shown by 1H,15N HSQC NMR to bind in the small hydrophobic P0 pockets of PDZ1-2, and one of them underwent structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Overall, we demonstrate that fragment screening can successfully be applied to PDZ1-2 of PSD-95 and disclose novel fragments that can serve as starting points for optimization towards small-molecule PDZ domain inhibitors.

A series of half-sandwich Ir(iii) complexes1-6bearing an amidato bidentate ligand were conveniently synthesized and applied to the catalytic Leuckart-Wallach reaction to produce racemic α-chiral primary amines. With 0.1 mol% of complex1, a broad range of ketones, including aryl ketones, dialkyl ketones, cyclic ketones, α-keto acids, α-keto esters and diketones, could be transformed to their corresponding primary amines with moderate to excellent yields (40%-95%). Asymmetric transformation was also attempted with chiral Ir complexes3-6, and 16% ee of the desired primary amine was obtained. Despite the unsatisfactory enantio-control achieved so far, the current exploration might stimulate more efforts towards the discovery of better chiral catalysts for this challenging but important transformation.

, p. 5016 - 5025 (2021/04/12)
In this study, 2,3-dicyanopyrazino phenanthrene (DCPP), a commodity chemical that can be prepared at an industrial scale, was used as a photocatalyst in lieu of Ru or Ir complexes in C-X (X = C, N, and O) bond-forming reactions under visible-light irradiation. In these reactions, [DCPP]n aggregates were formed in situ through physical π-πstacking of DCPP monomers in organic solvents. These aggregates exhibited excellent photo- and electrochemical properties, including a visible light response (430 nm), long excited-state lifetime (19.3 μs), high excited-state reduction potential (Ered([DCPP]n*/[DCPP]n·-) = +2.10 V vs SCE), and good reduction stability. The applications of [DCPP]n aggregates as a versatile visible-light photocatalyst were demonstrated in decarboxylative C-C cross-coupling, amidation, and esterification reactions.

A simple and practical method for α-ketoamide synthesis via a decarboxylative strategy of isocyanates with α-oxocarboxylic acids is described. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under mild conditions without an oxidant or an additive, showing good substrate scope and functional compatibility. Moreover, the applicability of this method was further demonstrated by the synthesis of various bioactive molecules and different application examples through a two-step one-pot operation.

A novel and green strategy for the synthesis of acylated quinazolinone derivativesviaphoto-induced decarboxylative cascade radical acylation/cyclization of quinazolinone bearing unactivated alkenes has been developed. The protocol provides a novel route to access acyl radicals from α-keto acids through a self-catalyzed energy transfer process. Most importantly, the reaction proceeded smoothly without any external photocatalyst, additive or oxidant, and could be easily scaled-up in flow conditions with sunlight irradiation.

A novel catalyst-free radical oxidative C-H annulation reaction of arylamines with α-keto acids toward benzoxazin-2-ones synthesis under mild conditions was developed. This hypervalent iodine(III)-promoted process eliminated the use of a metal catalyst or additive with high levels of functional group tolerance. Hypervalent iodine(III) was both an oxidant and a radical initiator for this reaction. The synthetic utility of this method was confirmed by the synthesis of the natural product cephalandole A.

1,4-Dicarbonyl compounds are intriguing motifs and versatile precursors in numerous pharmaceutical molecules and bioactive natural compounds. Direct incorporation of two carbonyl groups into a double bond at both ends is straightforward, but also challenging. Represented herein is the first example of 1,2-dicarbonylation of alkenes by photocatalysis. Key to success is that N(n-Bu)4+ not only associates with the alkyl anion to avoid protonation, but also activates the α-keto acid to undergo electrophilic addition. The α-keto acid is employed both for acyl generation and electrophilic addition. By tuning the reductive and electrophilic ability of the acyl precursor, unsymmetric 1,4-dicarbonylation is achieved for the first time. This metal-free, redox-neutral and regioselective 1,2-dicarbonylation of alkenes is executed by a photocatalyst for versatile substrates under extremely mild conditions and shows great potential in biomolecular and drug molecular derivatization.

Annulation reactions ofortho-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylates in the presence of K2S2O8at 80 °C under metal-free neutral conditions have been investigated, which extended a platform for the tandem synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles. While arylglyoxylic acids are known to undergo decarboxylation to form an acyl radical in the presence of K2S2O8and used in the Minisci acylation of electron-deficient (hetero)aromatics, their reactions with electron-richortho-substituted anilines to form nitrogen heterocycles have recently been studied. Depending upon the experimental conditions used in the reactions, the mechanism of the formation of heterocycles involving reactions of an acyl radical or aryl iminocarboxylic acids has been postulated. Given the subtle understanding of the mechanisms of annulation reactions of 2-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylates in the presence of K2S2O8, an extensive mechanistic investigation was undertaken. In the current study, the various mechanistic pathways including the generation of acyl, imidoyl, aminal, and N,O-hemiketal radicals have been postulated based on different possible decarboxylation modes. Some of the proposed intermediates are supported based on the available analytical data. The protocol uses a single, inexpensive reagent K2S2O8, which offers not only transition-metal-free conditions but also serves as the reagent for the key decarboxylation step. Taken together, this study complements the current development of the annulation reactions of 2-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylates in terms of synthesis and mechanistic understanding.

A visible-light-promoted synthesis of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones has been developed using 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate as an organo-photocatalyst. The atmosphere-controlled method (Ar/air) enabled the selective synthesis of hydroxyl- and acyl-containing quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones under mild reaction conditions without the use of any metal catalysts or toxic reagents. A fluorescent labelling experiment showed that hydroxyl-containing quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones may have utility in various biological applications as potent fluorophores. (Figure presented.).
