Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH), one of the attractive targets for the development of immunosuppressive drugs, is also a potential target of anticancer drugs and anti-leukemic drugs. The development of promising hDHODH inhibitors is in high demand. Based on the unique binding mode of our previous reported 4-thiazolidinone derivatives, via molecular docking method, three new series 4-thiazolidinone derivatives were designed and synthesized as hDHODH inhibitors. The preliminary structure–activity relationship was investigated. Compound 9 of biphenyl series and compound 37 of amide series displayed IC50 values of 1.32 μM and 1.45 μM, respectively. This research will provide valuable reference for the research of new structures of hDHODH inhibitors.

We report a Cu/Fe co-catalyzed Ritter-type C-H activation/amination reaction that allows efficient and selective intermolecular functionalization of benzylic C-H bonds. This new reaction is featured by simple reaction conditions, readily available reagents and general substrate scope, allowing facile synthesis of biologically interesting nitrogen containing heterocycles. The Cu and Fe salts were found to play distinct roles in this cooperative catalysis. With a little help: A Ritter-type intermolecular amination of benzylic C-H bonds with acetonitrile, co-catalyzed by CuII/FeIII is reported. A wide array of biologically interesting nitrogen containing heterocycles was prepared from 2-alkyl benzoic acids and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids under operationally simple conditions. The Cu and Fe salts were found to play distinct roles in this cooperative catalysis.

Sugar-nucleotides such as GDP-mannose, GDP-fucose and UDP-glucose are important biomolecules with a central role in carbohydrate and glycoconjugate biosynthesis, metabolism and cell signalling. Analogues and mimics of naturally occurring sugar-nucleotides are sought after as chemical tools and inhibitor candidates for sugar-nucleotide-dependent enzymes including glycosyltransferases. Many sugar-nucleotides bind to their target glycosyltransferases via coordination of the diphosphate group to a divalent metal cofactor in the active site. The identification of uncharged, chemically stable surrogates for the diphosphate group, with the ability to coordinate to a divalent metal, is therefore an important design criteria for the development of sugar-nucleotide mimics. Here, we describe the rational design and synthesis of a novel class of sugar-nucleotide mimics based on a squaryldiamide scaffold, an uncharged phosphate isostere. We demonstrate by comprehensive NMR titration experiments that the new sugar-nucleotide mimics coordinate efficiently to Mg2+, and provide results from biological studies with a therapeutically relevant mannosyltransferase from Trypanosoma brucei. Our findings suggest that squaryldiamides are a promising template for the development of sugar-nucleotide mimics, and illustrate the considerable potential of the squarylamide group as a fragment for inhibitor design.
