3-(Hetero)aryl propenals or propenones are efficiently prepared by a Heck reaction of (hetero)aryl bromides and acrolein or vinyl ketones using Beller's CataCXium Ptb ligand under Jeffery's and Fu's conditions. The formation of these three-carbon building blocks is embedded into consecutive three- and pseudo-four-component syntheses of 3-(hetero)aryl and 3,5-diarylpyrazoles with a broad substitution pattern in moderate to excellent yield.

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a key protein responsible for cancer's Warburg effect. Activation of PKM2 may alter aberrant metabolism in cancer cells, which suggests PKM2 as a tumor selective therapeutic target. In this paper, the lead compound 8 was first discovered as a new kind of PKM2 activator from a random screening of an in-house compound library. Then, a series of lead compound 8 analogs were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their activation of PKM2 and anticancer activities. 7-Azaindole analog 32 was identified as the most potent PKM2 activator. Compounds with potent enzyme activity also exhibited selective anti-proliferation activity on cancer cell lines HCT116, Hela and H1299 compared with non-tumor cell line BEAS-2B. The structure-activity relationships of these compounds were supported by molecular docking results. Preliminary pharmacological studies also showed that compound 32 arrests the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in HCT116 cell line.

The synthesis and SAR of a novel series of non-nucleoside pyridopyrimidine inhibitors of the enzyme adenosine kinase (AK) are described. It was found that pyridopyrimidines with a broad range of medium and large non-polar substituents at the 5-position potently inhibited AK activity. A narrower range of analogues was capable of potently inhibiting adenosine phosphorylation in intact cells indicating an enhanced ability of these analogues to penetrate cell membranes. Potent AK inhibitors were found to effectively reduce nociception in animal models of thermal hyperalgesia and persistent pain. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
