A series of 6-substituted carbazole-based retinoic acid-related orphan receptor gamma-t (RORγt) modulators were discovered through 6-position modification guided by insights from the crystallographic profiles of the “short” inverse agonist 6. With the increase in the size of the 6-position substituents, the “short” inverse agonist 6 first reversed its function to agonists and then to “long” inverse agonists. The cocrystal structures of RORγt complexed with the representative “short” inverse agonist 6 (PDB: 6LOB), the agonist 7d (PDB: 6LOA) and the “long” inverse agonist 7h (PDB: 6LO9) were revealed by X-ray analysis. However, minor differences were found in the binding modes of “short” inverse agonist 6 and “long” inverse agonist 7h. To further reveal the molecular mechanisms of different RORγt inverse agonists, we performed molecular dynamics simulations and found that “short” or “long” inverse agonists led to different behaviors of helixes H11, H11’, and H12 of RORγt. The “short” inverse agonist 6 destabilizes H11’ and dislocates H12, while the “long” inverse agonist 7h separates H11 and unwinds H12. The results indicate that the two types of inverse agonists may behave differently in downstream signaling, which may help identify novel inverse agonists with different regulatory mechanisms.

Ortho-selectivity in SNAr substitutions of 2,4-dihaloaromatic compounds. Reactions with anionic nucleophiles

scheme or table, p. 3041 - 3044 (2010/07/18)
The nucleophilic addition of organic anions to aromatic compounds with halogens positioned both ortho and para to activating groups was studied in a variety of solvents. Substrates showed strong preferences for ortho substitution in most cases. Evidence is presented for activating group-dependent coordination, which contributes to very high ortho-selectivity in nonpolar solvents. This also drives the overall reaction rate in these solvents, and is of close to the same magnitude of rate increase derived from polar solvents. para-Products are maximized by using crown ethers in protic solvents. Solvent effects overall are very different from corresponding reactions with amine nucleophiles due primarily to the different charges present in the transition states, and to solvation of the nucleophile.
