Currently, the therapeutic options for treatment of liver failure are very limited. As mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) has recently been identified by in vivo RNAi experiments to be a major regulator in hepatocyte regeneration, we pursued the development of a small molecule targeting this protein kinase. Starting from the approved BRAFV600E inhibitor vemurafenib (8), that showed a high off-target affinity to MKK4 in an initial screening, we followed a scaffold-hopping approach, changing the core heterocycle from 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine to 1H-pyrazolo[2,3-b]pyridine (10). Affinity to MKK4 could be conserved while the selectivity against off-target protein kinases was slightly improved. Further modifications led to 58 and 59 showing high affinity to MKK4 in the low nanomolar range and excellent selectivity profile from mandatory multiparameter-optimization for the essential anti-targets (MKK7, JNK1) and off-targets (BRAF, MAP4K5, ZAK) in the MKK4 pathway. Herein we report the first selective MKK4 inhibitors in this class.

An electrostatically directed meta borylation of sterically biased and unbiased substrates is described. The borylation follows an electrostatic interaction between the partially positive and negative charges between the ligand and substrate. With this strategy, it has been demonstrated that a wide number of challenging substrates, especially 4-substituted substrates, can selectively be borylated at the meta position. Moreover, unsubstituted substrates also displayed excellent meta selectivity. The reaction employs a bench-stable ligand and proceeds at a milder temperature, precluding the need to synthesize a bulky and sophisticated ligand/template.

Reported herein is the synthesis of benzofused six-membered S-heterocycles by intramolecular dehydrogenative C?S coupling using a modular flow electrolysis cell. The continuous-flow electrosynthesis not only ensures efficient product formation, but also obviates the need for transition-metal catalysts, oxidizing reagents, and supporting electrolytes. Reaction scale-up is conveniently achieved through extended electrolysis without changing the reaction conditions and equipment.

Page/Page column 72; 73, (2019/08/26)
The invention relates to pyrazolo-pyridine compounds which inhibit mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) and in particular, selectively inhibit MKK4 over protein kinases JNK1 and MKK7. The compounds are useful for promoting liver regeneration or reducing or preventing hepatocyte death. They are further useful for treating osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, or CNS-related diseases.

A simple and efficient bromination of aniline, aniline derivatives, and analogs have been developed. Forty three examples were given and the highest yield reached was 98%. Different substrates including substituted aniline, pyridin-amine, N-substituted aniline, N,N-disubstituted aniline, N-phenyl-amide, N-phenyl-sulfonamide, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles were all reactive and selectively generated desired bromo-products. The method can be applied to synthesize drug intermediate and quinoxaline derivatives.

Ferrocene tethered N-heterocyclic carbene-copper complex anchored on graphene ([GrFemImi]NHC@Cu complex) has been synthesized by covalent grafting of ferrocenyl ionic liquid in the matrix of graphene followed by metallation with copper (I) iodide. The [GrFemImi]NHC@Cu complex has been characterized by fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman), CP-MAS 13C NMR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis. This novel complex served as a robust heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of bioactive N-aryl sulfonamides from variety of aryl boronic acids and sulfonyl azides in ethanol by Chan-Lam coupling. Recyclability experiments were executed successfully for six consecutive runs.

β-Lactam antibiotics are of utmost importance when treating bacterial infections in the medical community. However, currently their utility is threatened by the emergence and spread of β-lactam resistance. The most prevalent resistance mechanism to β-lactam antibiotics is expression of β-lactamase enzymes. One way to overcome resistance caused by β-lactamases, is the development of β-lactamase inhibitors and today several β-lactamase inhibitors e.g. avibactam, are approved in the clinic. Our focus is the oxacillinase-48 (OXA-48), an enzyme reported to spread rapidly across the world and commonly identified in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. To guide inhibitor design, we used diversely substituted 3-aryl and 3-heteroaryl benzoic acids to probe the active site of OXA-48 for useful enzyme-inhibitor interactions. In the presented study, a focused fragment library containing 49 3-substituted benzoic acid derivatives were synthesised and biochemically characterized. Based on crystallographic data from 33 fragment-enzyme complexes, the fragments could be classified into R1 or R2 binders by their overall binding conformation in relation to the binding of the R1 and R2 side groups of imipenem. Moreover, binding interactions attractive for future inhibitor design were found and their usefulness explored by the rational design and evaluation of merged inhibitors from orthogonally binding fragments. The best inhibitors among the resulting 3,5-disubstituted benzoic acids showed inhibitory potential in the low micromolar range (IC50 = 2.9 μM). For these inhibitors, the complex X-ray structures revealed non-covalent binding to Arg250, Arg214 and Tyr211 in the active site and the interactions observed with the mono-substituted fragments were also identified in the merged structures.
Soft-Hard Acid/Base-Controlled, Oxidative, N-Selective Arylation of Sulfonanilides via a Nitrenium Ion

In iodine(III)-catalyzed, dehydrogenative arylations of sulfonanilides, the functionalization of C-C bonds is preferred over the functionalization of C-N bonds. Herein, an unprecedented N-selective arylation of sulfonanilides using soft-hard acid-base (SHAB) control by a nitrenium ion over a carbenium ion is reported. Treatment of sulfonanilides with iodine(III) led to the formation of nitrenium ions (soft), which preferentially react with biphenyls (soft) over bimesityl (hard) to generate C-N bonds. The iodine(III) was generated in situ by using PhI and mCPBA at room temperature.
