Synthesis of 11C-labelled ureas by palladium(II)-mediated oxidative carbonylation

Positron emission tomography is an imaging technique with applications in clinical settings as well as in basic research for the study of biological processes. A PET tracer, a biologically active molecule where a positron-emitting radioisotope such as carbon-11 has been incorporated, is used for the studies. Development of robust methods for incorporation of the radioisotope is therefore of the utmost importance. The urea functional group is present in many biologically active compounds and is thus an attractive target for incorporation of carbon-11 in the form of [11C]carbon monoxide. Starting with amines and [11C]carbon monoxide, both symmetrical and unsymmetrical 11C-labelled ureas were synthesised via a palladium(II)-mediated oxidative carbonylation and obtained in decay-corrected radiochemical yields up to 65%. The added advantage of using [11C]carbon monoxide was shown by the molar activity obtained for an inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (247 GBq/μmol-319 GBq/μ mol). DFT calculations were found to support a reaction mechanism proceeding through an 11C-labelled isocyanate intermediate.

Design and development of sulfonylurea derivatives as zinc metalloenzyme modulators

Sulfonamide derivatives are an important class of zinc metalloenzyme inhibitors. While the sulfonylurea group is a bioisoster of sulfonamide, their effect on the modulation of metalloenzymes has never been studied. In the present work we synthesize and screen new sulfonylurea derivatives towards the zinc metalloenzymes, human Carbonic Anhydrase II (hCA II) and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC 1). Specific sulfonylurea derivatives are found to inhibit hCA II with IC50 in the nano molar to micro molar range. Docking studies indicate the binding of the inhibitors to the mouth of the active site cavity thereby blocking access to the enzyme. Surprisingly sulfonylurea derivatives exhibit activation of HDAC 1 rather than inhibition. The activation of HDAC 1 is not uniform across the derivatives tested suggesting a specific mode that depends on structural features of the compounds. Extensive research has been performed on HDAC inhibitors due to their potential as anti-cancer agents, however relatively little has been reported in terms of HDAC activation. In this work, we present the distinctly divergent behavior of the same class of molecules namely sulfonylurea derivatives with respect to hCA II and HDAC 1 and attempt to provide an understanding of the same.

Facile one-pot synthesis of carbamoylbenzotriazoles directly from CO Synthesis of tolbutamide

COgas trapped with a primary or secondary amine as a carbamate salt in the presence of DBU reacts with triphenylphosphine and 1-chlorobenzotriazole (BtCl) to form a carbamoylbenzotriazole urea, which reacts with para-toluenesulfonamide under solvent-free conditions to produce N-sulfonyl ureas such as tolbutamide.
