Targeting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) is a potential therapeutic strategy to control diseases involving oxidative stress. Here, six classes of known small-molecule Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors were dissected into 77 fragments in a fragment-based deconstruction reconstruction (FBDR) study and tested in four orthogonal assays. This gave 17 fragment hits of which six were shown by X-ray crystallography to bind in the Keap1 Kelch binding pocket. Two hits were merged into compound 8 with a 220-380-fold stronger affinity (Ki = 16 μM) relative to the parent fragments. Systematic optimization resulted in several novel analogues with Ki values of 0.04-0.5 μM, binding modes determined by X-ray crystallography, and enhanced microsomal stability. This demonstrates how FBDR can be used to find new fragment hits, elucidate important ligand-protein interactions, and identify new potent inhibitors of the Keap1-Nrf2 PPI.

γ-Aryl-β-ketoesters can be prepared in one step from aryl bromides and bis(trimethylsilyl) enol ethers using catalytic amounts of Pd(dba)2/t-Bu3P and stoichiometric amounts of Bu3SnF. The wide range of γ-(hetero)aryl-β-ketoesters that can be obtained illustrate the scope and limitations of this novel Hauser-Heck combination. γ-Aryl-β-ketoesters with a 1,3-dioxane acetal in the ortho position can easily be transformed into the hydroxy naphthoate in very good yield. Aqueous formic acid at 65 °C provides optimal conditions for this deprotective aromatization.

Novel 6-substituted-4-cycloalkyloxy-pyridin-2(1H)-ones were synthesized as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), and their biological activity was evaluated. Most of the compounds, especially 26 and 22, bearing a 3-isopropyl and 3-iodine group, respectively, exhibited highly potent activity against wild-type HIV-1 strains and those resistant to reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs). The diastereoisomers of 26-trans and 26-cis were synthesized separately and confirmed with HPLC and NOESY spectra. The 26-trans isomers had an activity about 400-fold more potent than that of 26-cis. The pair of 26-trans enantiomers, one of the most potent inhibitors with EC50 of 4 nM and selectivity index (SI) of 75000, was highly effective against a panel of RTIs-resistant strains with single (Y181C and K103N) or double (A17) mutations in reverse transcriptase. The results suggest that these novel pyridinone derivatives have the potential to be further developed as new antiretroviral drugs with improved antiviral efficacy and drug resistance profile.
