Chasing the active impurity: In the validation of a screening hit it was discovered that a polymeric trace impurity was responsible for the biological activity. Such a side product can be formed with similar compounds. During the investigations it was discovered that the negatively charged macromolecule interacts very efficiently with the protein surface of E. coli RNAP via electrostatic interactions. Copyright

On the basis of the structures of small-molecule hits targeting the HIV-1 gp41, N-(4-carboxy-3-hydroxy)phenyl-2,5-dimethylpyrrole (2, NB-2), and N-(3-carboxy-4-chloro)phenylpyrrole (A1, NB-64), 42 N-carboxyphenylpyrrole derivatives in two categories (A and B series) were designed and synthesized. We found that 11 compounds exhibited promising anti-HIV-1 activity at micromolar level and their antiviral activity was correlated with their inhibitory activity on gp41 six-helix bundle formation, suggesting that these compounds block HIV fusion and entry by disrupting gp41 core formation. The structure-activity relationship and molecular docking analysis revealed that the carboxyl group could interact with either Arg579 or Lys574 to form salt bridges and two methyl groups on the pyrrole ring were favorable for interaction with the residues in gp41 pocket. The most active compound, N-(3-carboxy-4-hydroxy)phenyl-2,5-dimethylpyrrole (A12), partially occupied the deep hydrophobic pocket, suggesting that enlarging the molecular size of A12 could improve its binding affinity and anti-HIV-1 activity for further development as a small-molecule HIV fusion and entry inhibitor.

Efficient preparations of 4- and 5-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-ones have been developed, the main reactions of these compounds have been studied, and the synthetic routes have been used to give analogues with substituents in the phenyl rings.In the best synthesis of the 4-phenyldihyropyridazinone (72 percent overall yield) the product was obtained from phenylacetic acid by three simple stages.This approach was applied in preparations of the 2- and 4-hydroxyphenyl compounds and, in conjunction with a recent method for amine protection, the 4-aminophenyl analogue.A four stage synthesis starting from benzaldehyde gave the 5-phenyldihydropyridazinone in 47 percent overall yield; hydroxybenzaldehydes were similarly converted into 5-(allyloxyphenyl)dihydropyridazinones.Oxidation to phenylpyridazinones occured more readily with the 4- and 5-phenyldihydropyridazinones than with the 6-phenyl isomer.The 4- and 5-dihydropyridazinones were smoothly reduced to tetrahydropyridazinones by hydrogenation over platinum but were uneffected by palladium in the presence of hydrazine or cyclohexene.

Protection of primary amine group is achieved by incorporating it into an N-substituted 2,5-dimethylpyrrole system.The method affords protection against strong bases and nucleophiles, heating with concentrated alkali, standard mineral acid work-up conditions, and various other reagents.Phenyl-, pyridil-, thiazolyl-, and alkyl-amines have been studied.All give trisubstituted pyrroles in high yield (>80percent) by reaction with hexane-2,5-dione.The pyrroles from the first three types are stable to storage; even the N-alkyl compounds can be used without difficulty.Regeneration of the amine group, by treatment with hydrxylamine hydrochloride, is efficient (80percent yield) with the phenyl, pyridyl, and alkyl compounds but less satisfactory (60 - 65percent generally but down to 25percent in two cases) with the thiazolyl derivatives.
