3-Nitroindenoisoquinoline human topoisomerase IB (Top1) poisons have potent antiproliferative effects on cancer cells. The undesirable nitro toxicophore could hypothetically be replaced by other functional groups that would retain the desired biological activities and minimize potential safety risks. Eleven series of indenoisoquinolines bearing 3-nitro bioisosteres were synthesized. The molecules were evaluated in the Top1-mediated DNA cleavage assay and in the National Cancer Institute's 60 cell line cytotoxicity assay. The data reveal that fluorine and chlorine may substitute for the 3-nitro group with minimal loss of Top1 poisoning activity. The new information gained from these efforts can be used to design novel indenoisoquinolines with improved safety.

The inflammatory response associated with the activation of C-C chemokine receptor CCR2 via it's interaction with the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1, CCL2) has been implicated in many disease states, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, asthma and neuropathic pain. Small molecule antagonists of CCR2 have been efficacious in animal models of inflammatory disease, and have been advanced into clinical development. The necessity to attenuate hERG binding appears to be a common theme for many of the CCR2 antagonist scaffolds appearing in the literature, presumably due the basic hydrophobic motif present in all of these molecules. Following the discovery of a novel cyclohexyl azetidinylamide CCR2 antagonist scaffold, replacement of the amide bond with heterocyclic rings was explored as a strategy for reducing hERG binding and improving pharmacokinetic properties.

A general method for the synthesis of isocoumarine derivatives has been developed. Bis(5-R-2-furyl)methylbenzoic acids (R = methyl, ethyl) underwent recyclization and subsequent cyclization into tetracyclic isochromene-1-one derivatives under treatment with hydrogen chloride in methanol. It has been shown that intermediate 4-(5-R-furan-2-yl)-3-(3-oxo-3-R-propyl)-isochromene-1- ones can be obtained selectively by varying a concentration of the hydrogen chloride and reaction times. In the case of R = tert-butyl only corresponding 4-[5-(tert-butyl)-2-furyl]-3-(4,4-dimethyl-3-oxopentyl)-1-isochromenones were isolated regardless of the reaction conditions.
