The widely used pentafluorosulfanyl group (SF5) was deployed as a bioisosteric replacement for a chloro-group in the benzodiazepine diazepam (Valium). Reaction of 2-amino-5-pentafluorosulfanyl-benzophenone with chloroacetyl chloride followed by hexamethylenetetramine, in the presence of ammonia, led to 7-sulfurpentafluoro-5-phenyl-1H-benzo[1,4]diazepin-2(3H)-one (2c). The latter was able to undergo a Pd-catalysed ortho-arylation, demonstrating that these highly fluorinated benzodiazepines can be further modified to form more complicated scaffolds. The replacement of Cl by the SF5 group, led to a loss of potency for potentiating GABAA receptor activation, most likely because of a lost ligand interaction with His102 in the GABAA receptor α subunit. Dedicated to Professor Jonathan Williams, an inspirational and humble pioneer, a colleague and mentor in chemistry.
Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of Retro-1 Analogues against Shiga Toxin

High-throughput screening has shown that Retro-1 inhibits ricin and Shiga toxins by diminishing their intracellular trafficking via the retrograde route, from early endosomes to the Golgi apparatus. To improve the activity of Retro-1, a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study was undertaken and yielded an analogue with a roughly 70-fold better half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) against Shiga toxin cytotoxicity measured in a cell protein synthesis assay.
