Paragraph 0184-0187; 0192, (2021/08/20)
Disclosed are a compound with near-infrared fluorescence that selectively binds to tau aggregates, a method for preparing the same, a tau-targeting near-infrared fluorescent probe including the compound, a composition for detecting a tau fiber protein containing the near-infrared fluorescent probe as an active ingredient, and the use of the composition for the diagnosis of tauopathy. In particular, the compound does not bind to an amyloid beta protein and has high selectivity to a tau aggregate, specifically reported as an etiology of the initial state of tauopathy, thus being useful as a near-infrared fluorescent detector for detecting a tau fiber protein for early diagnosis of a tauopathy including Alzheimer's disease.

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) methylates nicotinamide (vitamin B3) to generate 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA). NNMT overexpression has been linked to a variety of diseases, most prominently human cancers, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target. The development of small-molecule NNMT inhibitors has gained interest in recent years, with the most potent inhibitors sharing structural features based on elements of the nicotinamide substrate and the S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) cofactor. We here report the development of new bisubstrate inhibitors that include electron-deficient aromatic groups to mimic the nicotinamide moiety. In addition, a trans-alkene linker was found to be optimal for connecting the substrate and cofactor mimics in these inhibitors. The most potent NNMT inhibitor identified exhibits an IC50 value of 3.7 nM, placing it among the most active NNMT inhibitors reported to date. Complementary analytical techniques, modeling studies, and cell-based assays provide insights into the binding mode, affinity, and selectivity of these inhibitors.

Two series of racemic goniothalamin analogues displaying nitrogen-containing groups were designed and synthesized. A total of 19 novel analogues were evaluated against a panel of four different cancer cell lines, along with the normal prostate cell line PNT2 to determine their selectivity. Among them, goniothalamin chloroacrylamide 13 e displayed the lowest IC50 values for both MCF-7 (0.5 μm) and PC3 (0.3 μm) cells, about 26-fold more potent than goniothalamin (1). Besides its higher potency, compound 13 e also displayed much higher selectivity than goniothalamin. In contrast, goniothalamin isobutyramide 13 c was the most potent analogue against Caco-2 cells (IC50=0.8 μm), about 10-fold more potent and 17-fold more selective than 1. These results reveal the potential of compounds 13 c and 13 e for further in vivo studies, representing the first goniothalamin analogues with IC50 values in the low micromolar range and high selectivity against MCF-7, Caco-2, and PC3 cancer cell lines.

Diapophytoene desaturase (CrtN) is a potential novel target for intervening in the biosynthesis of the virulence factor staphyloxanthin. In this study, 38 1,4-benzodioxan-derived CrtN inhibitors were designed and synthesized to overwhelm the defects of leading compound 4a. Derivative 47 displayed superior pigment inhibitory activity, better hERG inhibitory properties and water solubility, and significantly sensitized MRSA strains to immune clearance in vitro. Notably, 47 displayed excellent efficacy against pigmented S. aureus Newman, Mu50 (vancomycin-intermediate MRSA, VISA), and NRS271 (linezolid-resistant MRSA, LRSA) comparable to that of linezolid and vancomycin in vivo.

, p. 295 - 301 (2018/01/12)
Diazonium salts, and precisely arenediazonium o-benzenedisulfonimides, have been used for the first time as efficient electrophilic partners in gold catalyzed Heck-coupling reactions. The synthetic protocol was general, easy and gave the target products in satisfactory yields. Mechanistic insights revealed the fundamental roles of the o-benzenedisulfonimide anion as an electron transfer agent thath promotes a radical pathway that does not require the presence of photocatalysts or external oxidants.

Our previous work (Wang et al. J. Med. Chem. 2016, 59, 4831-4848) revealed that effective benzocycloalkane-derived staphyloxanthin inhibitors against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections were accompanied by poor water solubility and high hERG inhibition and dosages (preadministration). In this study, 92 chroman and coumaran derivatives as novel inhibitors have been addressed for overcoming deficiencies above. Derivatives 69 and 105 displayed excellent pigment inhibitory activities and low hERG inhibition, along with improvement of solubility by salt type selection. The broad and significantly potent antibacterial spectra of 69 and 105 were displayed first with normal administration in the livers and hearts in mice against pigmented S. aureus Newman, Mu50 (vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus), and NRS271 (linezolid-resistant S. aureus), compared with linezolid and vancomycin. In summary, both 69 and 105 have the potential to be developed as good antibacterial candidates targeting virulence factors.

, p. 3532 - 3535 (2016/03/04)
A novel method for organocatalytic oxidation through oxidative enamine catalysis was developed with excellent compatibility for the direct syntheses of enals from simple saturated alcohols. By using this amine-catalyzed IBX-oxidation, a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic substituted enals were successfully generated in high yields and exclusively stereoselective E-geometry. Moreover, varying the solvents and/or the loading amounts of IBX allowed for the selective oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes. Importantly, the homologous application of this method provided a selective and efficient way of preparing various highly sensitive conjugated polyene frameworks, which are enriched in natural products.

supporting information, p. 9111 - 9115 (2016/07/14)
An asymmetric synthesis of tetra-substituted cyclobutanes involving an organocatalytic, stepwise [2+2]-cycloaddition is described. The secondary-amine-catalyzed method allows for the hetero-dimerization of two different cinnamic-acid-derived sub-units, opening a novel one-step assembly to densely functionalized, head-to-tail coupled dimeric cyclobutanes in high enantiomeric excess. A series of selective synthetic interconversions in these sensitive cycloadducts is also described.

A mild and highly efficient amine-catalyzed, IBX-mediated oxidation of aldehydes to (E) selective α,β-unsaturated aldehydes has been achieved in good yields. The process features a new oxidation of enamines to iminium ions in a catalytic fashion.
