Targeting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) is a potential therapeutic strategy to control diseases involving oxidative stress. Here, six classes of known small-molecule Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors were dissected into 77 fragments in a fragment-based deconstruction reconstruction (FBDR) study and tested in four orthogonal assays. This gave 17 fragment hits of which six were shown by X-ray crystallography to bind in the Keap1 Kelch binding pocket. Two hits were merged into compound 8 with a 220-380-fold stronger affinity (Ki = 16 μM) relative to the parent fragments. Systematic optimization resulted in several novel analogues with Ki values of 0.04-0.5 μM, binding modes determined by X-ray crystallography, and enhanced microsomal stability. This demonstrates how FBDR can be used to find new fragment hits, elucidate important ligand-protein interactions, and identify new potent inhibitors of the Keap1-Nrf2 PPI.

The benzothiazinone (BTZ) scaffold compound PBTZ169 kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis by inhibiting the essential flavoenzyme DprE1, consequently blocking the synthesis of the cell wall component arabinans. While extraordinarily potent against M. tuberculosis with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) less than 0.2 ng/mL, its low aqueous solubility and bioavailability issues need to be addressed. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of 6-methanesulfonyl substituted BTZ analogues; further exploration introduced five-member aromatic heterocycles as linkers to attach an aryl group as the side chain. Our work led to the discovery of a number of BTZ derived compounds with potent antitubercular activity. The optimized compounds 6 and 38 exhibited MIC 47 and 30 nM, respectively. Compared to PBTZ169, both compounds displayed increased aqueous solubility and higher stability in human liver microsomes. This study suggested that an alternative side-chain modification strategy could be implemented to improve the druglike properties of the BTZ-based compounds.

We report a Buchwald-Hartwig amination compatible with azido functionality. Treatment of azidoaryl iodides and amines with fourth-generation Buchwald precatalyst coordinated by CPhos and sodium tert-butoxide in 1,4-dioxane at 50 °C afforded the corresponding azidoanilines while leaving the azido groups intact. The method showed a broad substrate scope and was applicable to the synthesis of diazido compounds as photoaffinity probe candidates of pharmaceutical amines and multiazido platform molecules.

Inhibiting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between the transcription factor Nrf2 and its repressor protein Keap1 has emerged as a promising strategy to target oxidative stress in diseases, including central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Numerous non-covalent small-molecule Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors have been reported to date, but many feature suboptimal physicochemical properties for permeating the blood-brain barrier, while others contain problematic structural moieties. Here, we present the first side-by-side assessment of all reported Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitor classes using fluorescence polarization, thermal shift assay, and surface plasmon resonance - and further evaluate the compounds in an NQO1 induction cell assay and in counter tests for nonspecific activities. Surprisingly, half of the compounds were inactive or deviated substantially from reported activities, while we confirm the cross-assay activities for others. Through this study, we have identified the most promising Keap1-Nrf2 inhibitors that can serve as pharmacological probes or starting points for developing CNS-active Keap1 inhibitors.

Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide aggregation is considered as one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Moreover, Aβ peptide aggregation increases considerably in the presence of metal ions and triggers the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Novel methodology for O-functionalization of carbohydrate derivatives has been established using bench-stable and easily prepared iodonium(III) reagents. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating aryl groups were introduced under ambient conditions and without precautions to exclude air or moisture. Furthermore, the approach was extended both to full arylation of cyclodextrin, and to trifluoroethylation of carbohydrate derivatives. This is the first general approach to introduce traditionally non-electrophilic groups into any of the OH groups around the sugar backbone. The methodology will be useful both in synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry, as important functional groups can be incorporated under simple and robust reaction conditions in a fast and efficient manner.

The transcription factor Nrf2 regulates the expression of a large network of cytoprotective and metabolic enzymes and proteins. Compounds that directly and reversibly inhibit the interaction between Nrf2 and its main negative regulator Keap1 are potential pharmacological agents for a range of disease types including neurodegenerative conditions and cancer. We describe the development of a series of 1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole compounds that inhibit the Nrf2-Keap1 protein-protein interaction (PPI) in vitro and in live cells and up-regulate the expression of Nrf2-dependent gene products.
