Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a multiple transmembrane transporter predominantly expressed in the liver, functioning as a functional receptor for HBV. Through our continuous efforts to identify NTCP as a novel HBV target, we designed and synthesized a series of new compounds based on the structure of our previous compound NT-5. Molecular docking and MD simulation validated that a new compound named NTI-007 can tightly bind to NTCP, whose efficacy was also measured in vitro virological examination and cytotoxicity studies. Furthermore, autophagy was observed in NTI-007 incubated HepG2.2.15 cells, and results of q-PCR and Western blotting revealed that NTI-007 induced autophagy through NTCP-APOA1-HBx-Beclin1-mediated pathway. Taken together, considering crucial role of NTCP in HBV infection, NTCP-mediated autophagic pathway may provide a promising strategy of HBV therapy and given efficacy of NTI-007 triggering autophagy. Our study suggests pre-clinical potential of this compound as a novel anti-HBV drug candidate.

HOF·CH3CN, a very efficient oxygen-transfer agent, was reacted with various aliphatic and aromatic vicinal diamino compounds. The products were the rare, vicinal dinitro derivatives formed in excellent yields and short reaction times. This is in contrast to other oxygen-transfer agents which tend to break the central C-C bond of the diamino precursor. This reaction was also used for making dinitro compounds with all four oxygens, being the [18]O isotope.
6-Lithioquinoxalines and Their Transformations

6-Bromo-2,3-diphenylquinoxaline reacts with butyllithium to give the 6-lithio derivative in a yield of more than 80%, which reacts with electrophiles such as benzophenone, Michler ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, iodine, selenium, and dimethylformamide to give the corresponding quinoxaline derivatives. 6-Bromo-2,3-dimethylquinoxaline is metallated with butyl- and phenyllithium at the methyl groups and benzene ring. These organolithium compounds react with benzophenone to give the corresponding diphenyl- and triaryl-carbinols, whose yield and ratio were determined by HPLC. These results open prospects for preparing new quinoxaline derivatives substituted at the annelated benzene ring.
