Reduction of Cyclic Ureas with Lithium Aluminum Hydride

A series of 1,3-dialkyl-2-imidazolidinones 1 and 1,3-dialklyltetrahydro -2(1H)-pyrimidinones 2 were reduced to the corresponding aminals 3 and 4, respectively, when treated with excess lithium aluminum hydride in ether.The rate of reduction is affected dr

Novel bis-arylalkylamines as myeloperoxidase inhibitors: Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship study

Human myeloperoxidase (MPO) plays an important role in innate immunity but also aggravates tissue damage by oxidation of biomolecules at sites of inflammation. As a result from a recent high-throughput virtual screening approach for MPO inhibitors, bis-2,2′-[(dihydro-1,3(2H,4H) pyrimidinediyl)bis(methylene)]phenol was detected as a promising lead compound for inhibition of the MPO-typical two-electron oxidation of chloride to hypochlorous acid (IC50= 0.5 μM). In the present pharmacomodulation study, 37 derivatives of this lead compound were designed and synthesized driven by comprehensive docking studies and the impact on the chlorination activity of MPO. We describe the structural requirements for optimum (i) binding to the heme periphery and (ii) inhibition capacity. Finally, the best three inhibitors (bis-arylalkylamine derivatives) were probed for interaction with the MPO redox intermediates Compound I and Compound II. Determined apparent bimolecular rate constants together with determination of reduction potential and nucleophilicity of the selected compounds allowed us to propose a mechanism of inhibition. The best inhibitor was found to promote the accumulation of inactive form of MPO-Compound II and has IC50= 54 nM, demonstrating the successful approach of the drug design. Due to the similarity of ligand interactions between MPO and serotonine transporter, the selectivity of this inhibitor was also tested on the serotonin transporter providing a selectivity index of 14 (KiSERT/IC50MPO).

Synthesis and evaluation of hexahydropyrimidines and diamines as novel hepatitis C virus inhibitors

In order to identify novel anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agents we devised cell-based strategies and screened phenotypically small molecule chemical libraries with infectious HCV particles, and identified a hit compound (1) containing a hexahydropyrimidine (HHP) core. During our cell-based SAR study, we observed a conversion of HHP 1 into a linear diamine (6), which is the active component in inhibiting HCV and exhibited comparable antiviral activity to the cyclic HHP 1. In addition, we engaged into the biological characterization of HHP and demonstrated that HHP does not interfere with HCV RNA replication, but with entry and release of viral particles. Here we report the results of the preliminary SAR and mechanism of action studies with HHP.

An efficient synthesis of symmetric and unsymmetric bis-(β- aminoamides) via Ugi multicomponent reaction

A library of symmetrical and unsymmetrical bis-(β-aminoamides) has been prepared starting from symmetrical secondary diamines by using a double Ugi four-component reaction. A sacrifical Mumm rearrangement, thanks to the use of 2-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid, is necessary to suppress the competing split-Ugi reaction, increasing the yield and simplifying the purification step. The scope, the reaction conditions, and the role of water in trapping the nitrilium intermediate are also discussed.
