5-(3′-Hydroxyphenyl)pentanoic add (1) and 5-(3′-methoxyphenyl)pentanoic acid (2) occurring in the roots of Athyrium yokoscense showed transport activity to alkaline and alkaline earth metal ions and heavy divalent metal ions.

New derivatives of Vaccinia H1-related phosphatase (VHR) inhibitor RE12 (5) were designed by replacing the long straight alkyl chain with other hydrophobic functionalities containing two aromatic rings, with the aim of obtaining potent, cell-active inhibitors. We established a direct coupling reaction between tetronic acid derivative and thioimidate to prepare the RE derivatives 6a-6i efficiently. These compounds all showed VHR-inhibitory activity in the presence of 0.001% NP-40, whereas RE12 (5) was inactive under this condition, even at 100 μM. Further structure-activity studies focused on terminal substitution afforded trifluoromethyl derivative 6k (RE176) and nitro derivative 6l (RE177). The IC50 value of 6l in the presence of NP-40 was almost equivalent to that of RE12 (5) in its absence. Compound 6k (RE176) potently inhibited proliferation of HeLa cells.

A nonpeptidyl GnRH receptor antagonist (1), with a unique 2-arylindole core, was identified through the Merck in-house screening for binding affinity on the rat GnRH receptor. SAR studies directed toward the alkoxy-ethanolamine and 2-aryl groups resulted in a simpler lead structure with improved activity. This compound 50 exhibits a 60-fold improvement in binding activity over our initial lead 1.
