Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) has been considered as an attractive target for metabolic disorder and liver injury, while many current FXR agonists suffer from undesirable side effects, such as pruritus. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new structure types different from current FXR agonists. In this study, a series of structural optimizations were introduced to displace the unstable coumarin and geraniol scaffolds of auraptene (AUR), a novel and safe FXR agonist. All of these efforts led to the identification of compound 14, a potent FXR agonist with nearly fourfold higher activity than AUR. Molecular modeling study suggested that compound 14 fitted well with binding pocket, and formed the key ionic bond with His291 and Arg328. In acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury model, compound 14 exerts better therapeutic effect than that of AUR, which highlighting its pharmacological potential in the treatment of drug-induced liver injury.

The synthesis of habiterpenol, a G2 checkpoint inhibitor, was achieved through the stereoselective Ti(III)-mediated radical cyclization of a β-epoxide as the key reaction. Moreover, the absolute configuration of habiterpenol was determined.

We applied dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) to identify ligands of ThiT, the S-component of the energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporter for thiamine in Lactococcus lactis. We used a pre-equilibrated dynamic combinatorial library (DCL) and saturation-transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy to identify ligands of ThiT. This is the first report in which DCC is used for fragment growing to an ill-defined pocket, and one of the first reports for its application with an integral membrane protein as target.
