The boronic acid-catalyzed annulation of citral opens up a short route to oxygenated cyclized monoterpenoid pyranocarbazole alkaloids. Thus, murrayamine-D is available in only three steps and 55% overall yield from the corresponding carbazole precursor.

A number of reports have recently been published describing the discovery and optimization of bromo and extraterminal inhibitors which are selective for the second bromodomain (BD2); these include our own work toward GSK046 (3) and GSK620 (5). This paper describes our approach to mitigating the genotoxicity risk of GSK046 by replacement of the acetamide functionality with a heterocyclic ring. This was followed by a template-hopping and hybridization approach, guided by structure-based drug design, to incorporate learnings from other BD2-selective series, optimize the vector for the amide region, and explore the ZA cleft, leading to the identification of potent, selective, and bioavailable compounds 28 (GSK452), 39 (GSK737), and 36 (GSK217).

Novel 2-substituted-6-[(4-substituted-1-piperidyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazoles were designed and synthesized as Ebola virus inhibitors. The proposed structures of the new prepared benzimidazole-piperidine hybrids were confirmed based on their spectral data and CHN analyses. The target compounds were screened in vitro for their anti-Ebola activity. Among tested molecules, compounds 26a (EC50=0.93 μM, SI = 10) and 25a (EC50=0.64 μM, SI = 20) were as potent as and more selective than Toremifene reference drug (EC50 = 0.38 μM, SI = 7) against cell line. Data suggests that the mechanism by which 25a and 26a block EBOV infection is through the inhibition of viral entry at the level of NPC1. Furthermore, a docking study revealed that several of the NPC1 amino acids that participate in binding to GP are involved in the binding of the most active compounds 25a and 26a. Finally, in silico ADME prediction indicates that 26a is an idealy drug-like candidate. Our results could enable the development of small molecule drug capable of inhibiting Ebola virus, especially at the viral entry step.
