Novel histone deacetylase inhibitors induce growth arrest, apoptosis, and differentiation in sarcoma cancer stem cells

Musculoskeletal sarcomas are aggressive malignancies of bone and soft tissues often affecting children and adolescents. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have been proposed to counteract cancer stem cells (CSCs) in solid neoplasms. When tested in hum

Novel Pyridine-Based Hydroxamates and 2′-Aminoanilides as Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors: Biochemical Profile and Anticancer Activity

Starting from the N-hydroxy-3-(4-(2-phenylbutanoyl)amino)phenyl)acrylamide (5 b) previously described by us as a HDAC inhibitor, we prepared four aza-analogues, 6–8, 9 b, as regioisomers containing the pyridine nucleus. Preliminary screening against mHDAC1 highlighted the N-hydroxy-5-(2-(2-phenylbutanoyl)amino)pyridyl)acrylamide (9 b) as the most potent inhibitor. Thus, we further developed both pyridylacrylic- and nicotinic-based hydroxamates (9 a, 9 c–f, and 11 a–f) and 2′-aminoanilides (10 a–f and 12 a–f), related to 9 b, to be tested against HDACs. Among them, the nicotinic hydroxamate 11 d displayed sub-nanomolar potency (IC50: 0.5 nM) and selectivity up to 34 000 times that of HDAC4 and from 100 to 1300 times that of all the other tested HDAC isoforms. The 2′-aminoanilides were class I-selective HDAC inhibitors, generally more potent against HDAC3, with the nicotinic anilide 12 d being the most effective (IC50HDAC3=0.113 μM). When tested in U937 leukemia cells, the hydroxamates 9 e, 11 c, and 11 d blocked over 80 % of cells in G2/M phase, whereas the anilides did not alter cell-cycle progress. In the same cell line, the hydroxamate 11 c and the anilide 10 b induced about 30 % apoptosis, and the anilide 12 c displayed about 40 % cytodifferentiation. Finally, the most potent compounds in leukemia cells 9 b, 11 c, 10 b, 10 e, and 12 c were also tested in K562, HCT116, and A549 cancer cells, displaying antiproliferative IC50 values at single-digit to sub-micromolar level.

Enhancement of the carbamate activation rate enabled syntheses of tetracyclic benzolactams: 8-oxoberbines and their 5- And 7-membered C-ring homologues

A route to the direct amidation of aromatic-ring-tetheredN-carbamoyl tetrahydroisoquinoline substrates was developed. This route enabled general access to 8-oxoberberines and their 5- and 7- membered C-ring homologues. It overcomes the undesired tandem side-reactions that result in the destruction of the isoquinoline backbone, which inevitably occurred under our previously reported superacidic carbamate activation method.

Isothiourea-Catalyzed Acylative Kinetic Resolution of Tertiary α-Hydroxy Esters

A highly enantioselective isothiourea-catalyzed acylative kinetic resolution (KR) of acyclic tertiary alcohols has been developed. Selectivity factors of up to 200 were achieved for the KR of tertiary alcohols bearing an adjacent ester substituent, with both reaction conversion and enantioselectivity found to be sensitive to the steric and electronic environment at the stereogenic tertiary carbinol centre. For more sterically congested alcohols, the use of a recently-developed isoselenourea catalyst was optimal, with equivalent enantioselectivity but higher conversion achieved in comparison to the isothiourea HyperBTM. Diastereomeric acylation transition state models are proposed to rationalize the origins of enantiodiscrimination in this process. This KR procedure was also translated to a continuous-flow process using a polymer-supported variant of the catalyst.

AZABICYCLO AND DIAZEPINE DERIVATIVES FOR TREATING OCULAR DISORDERS

The present invention provides in one aspect azabicycio and diazepine derivatives useful as modulators of muscarinic receptors. In another aspect, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions for treating ocular diseases, the compositions comprising at least one muscarinic receptor modulator. Formulae (I) & (II):

Palladium-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation of acyclic ester equivalents promoted by a novel electron deficient phosphinooxazoline ligand

A unique example of Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative dehydrogenation of fully substituted N-acyl allyl enol carbonates is enabled by a new electron deficient phosphinooxazoline (PHOX) ligand. The reaction proceeds from the Z-enol carbonate to provide dehydrogenation products exclusively in high E/Z selectivity, while the E-enol carbonate provides the α-allylation product with only minor dehydrogenation. The reaction proceeds with a broad scope of Z-enol carbonates derived from N-acyl indoles to furnish acyclic formal α,β-unsaturated ester equivalents.

Chemospecific Cyclizations of α-Carbonyl Sulfoxonium Ylides on Aryls and Heteroaryls

The functionalization of aryl and heteroaryls using α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides without the help of a directing group has remained so far a neglected area, despite the advantageous safety profile of sulfoxonium ylides. Described herein are the cyclizations of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides onto benzenes, benzofurans and N-p-toluenesulfonyl indoles in the presence of a base in HFIP, whereas pyrroles and N-methyl indoles undergo cyclization in the presence of an iridium catalyst. Significantly, these two sets of conditions are chemospecific for each groups of substrates.

Lewis acid-promoted ketene-alkene [2 + 2] cycloadditions

Described are the first examples of ketene-alkene [2 + 2] cycloadditions promoted by Lewis acids. Notable features of this method include (1) substantial rate acceleration relative to traditional thermal reactions, (2) good diastereoselectivities and yields for the formation of the cyclobutanone products, and (3) inverse diastereoselectivity compared with related thermal cycloadditions for many examples. These studies not only provide access to synthetically versatile cyclobutanones that cannot be prepared by traditional thermal cycloadditions but also address important mechanistic questions regarding ketene-alkene [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions.
