A series of azepanone inhibitors of cathepsin S is described. Selectivity over both cathepsin K and cathepsin L was achieved by varying the P2 substituent. Ultimately, a balanced potency and selectivity profile was achieved in compound 39 possessing a 1-methylcyclohexyl alanine at P2 and nicotinamide as the P′ substituent. The cellular potency of selected analogs is also described.

A novel palladium-catalyzed intramolecular aerobic oxidative allylic C-H amination of olefins has been developed. Bronsted base can modulate the regioselectivity, favoring the formation of 7-membered rings. Mechanistic studies using deuterium-labeled substrates as probes support a rate-determining allylic C-H activation/irreversible reductive elimination pathway.
Synthesis of Novel Potent Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitors with Enhanced Chemical Stability: Interplay between the N-Terminal Amino Acid Alkyl Side Chain and the Cyclopropyl Group of α -Aminoacyl-L-cis-4,5-methanoprolinenitrile-Based Inhibitors

A series of methanoprolinenitrile-containing dipeptide mimetics were synthesized and assayed as inhibitors of the N-terminal sequence-specific serine protease dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). The catalytic action of DPP-IV is the principle means of degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1, a key mediator of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and DPP-IV inhibition shows clinical benefit as a novel mechanism for treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, many of the reversible inhibitors to date suffer from chemical instability stemming from an amine to nitrile intramolecular cyclization. Installation of a cyclopropyl moiety at either the 3,4- or 4,5-position of traditional 2-cyanopyrrolidide proline mimetics led to compounds with potent inhibitory activity against the enzyme. Additionally, cis-4,5-methanoprolinenitriles with β-branching in the N-terminal amino acid provided enhanced chemical stability and high inhibitory potency. This class of inhibitors also exhibited the ability to suppress prandial glucose elevations after an oral glucose challenge in male Zucker rats.
Stepwise Introduction of π-Electron Cross-Conjugation: A Possible Access to [5]Radialenes?

As starting points to the stepwise access to the corresponding [5]radialene, the unsaturated esters 14a and 18a have been prepared. These compounds have been isolated along with their isomers 14b and 18b, resulting from an intracyclic double-bond migration. Moreover a subsequent base-catalyzed process mediated the total isomerization of these mixtures to the latter more stable compounds 14b and 18b. The energy contents of the various compounds, and the corresponding tri- and tetrasubstituted higher homologues 19 and 20, have been calculated at the ab initio level, using several minimal as well as extended basis sets, and the observed experimental results rationalized.
