Therapeutic modulation of the bile acid-sensing transcription factor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is an appealing strategy to counteract hepatic and metabolic diseases. Despite the availability of several highly potent FXR agonists structural diversity of FXR modulators is limited, and new ligand scaffolds are needed. Here we report structure-activity relationship elucidation of a new FXR modulator chemotype whose activity can be tuned between agonism and antagonism by two minor structural modifications. Starting from a weak FXR/PPAR agonist, we have developed selective FXR activators and antagonists with nanomolar to low-micromolar potencies and binding affinities. The new FXR ligand chemotype modulates the FXR activity in the native cellular setting, is endowed with favorable metabolic stability, and lacks cytotoxicity. It valuably expands the collection of FXR modulators as a new scaffold for FXR-targeted drug discovery.

With an intention of identifying chalcone derivatives exhibiting anti-protozoal activity, a cohort of relatively unexplored arylpyrrole-based chalcone derivatives were synthesized in moderate to good yields. The resultant compounds were evaluated in vitro for their potential activity against a cultured Trypanosoma brucei brucei 427 strain. Several compounds displayed mostly modest in vitro anti-trypanosomal activity with compounds 10e and 10h emerging as active candidates with IC50 values of 4.09 and 5.11 μM, respectively. More importantly, a concomitant assessment of their activity against a human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cell line revealed that these compounds are non-toxic.
Copper-catalyzed and additive free decarboxylative trifluoromethylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic iodides

A copper-catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylation of (hetero)aromatic iodides has been developed. Importantly, this new copper-catalyzed reaction operates in the absence of any ligands and metal additives. The protocol shows good functional group tolerance and is compatible with heteroaromatic systems. The reaction proved scalable to a 15 mmol scale with increased yield. Finally, late-stage installation of the trifluoromethyl functionality afforded the N-trifluoroacetamide variant of the antidepressant agent, Prozac, demonstrating the applicability of the developed method.

Novel and highly efficient preparation of pyrroles using supported ionic liquid ILCF3SO3@SiO2 as a heterogeneous catalyst
Liu, Yang,Hu, Yu Lin
, p. 1033 - 1040 (2018/05/22)
Abstract: A supported ionic liquid ILCF3SO3@SiO2 was synthesized and used as a highly efficient catalyst in the Paal–Knorr reaction for the preparation of pyrroles. The heterogeneous catalyst could be easily recovered and recycled for five times without noticeable loss of catalytic activity. Also a possible reaction mechanism is provided.

There is an urgent need for the development of new antimalarial compounds. As a result of a phenotypic screen, several compounds with potent activity against the parasite Plasmodium falciparum were identified. Characterization of these compounds is discussed, along with approaches to optimise the physicochemical properties. The in vitro antimalarial activity of these compounds against P. falciparum K1 had EC50 values in the range of 0.09e29 mM, and generally good selectivity (typically >100-fold) compared to a mammalian cell line (L6). One example showed no significant activity against a rodent model of malaria, and more work is needed to optimise these compounds.

In the pursuit of new antimalarial leads, a phenotypic screening of various commercially sourced compound libraries was undertaken by the World Health Organisation Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (WHO-TDR). We report here the detailed characterization of one of the hits from this process, TDR32750 (8a), which showed potent activity against Plasmodium falciparum K1 (EC50 ~ 9 nM), good selectivity (>2000-fold) compared to a mammalian cell line (L6), and significant activity against a rodent model of malaria when administered intraperitoneally. Structure-activity relationship studies have indicated ways in which the molecule could be optimized. This compound represents an exciting start point for a drug discovery program for the development of a novel antimalarial.
One-pot tandem reactions for direct conversion of thiols and disulfides to sulfonic esters, alcohols to bis(indolyl)methanes and synthesis of pyrroles catalyzed by N-chloro reagents
Veisi, Hojat,Ataee, Meral,Fatolahi, Leila,Lotfi, Shahram
, p. 111 - 117 (2013/07/26)
A convenient synthesis of sulfonic esters from thiols and disulfides has been described. In situ preparation of sulfonyl chlorides from thiols is accomplished by oxidation with Chloramin-T, tetra-butylammonium chloride (t-Bu4NCl) and water. The sulfonyl chlorides are then further allowed to react with phenol derivatives in the same reaction vessel. Also, a facile synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes from alcohols using TCCA/KBr/wet-SiO2, and N-substituted pyrroles by reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with primary amines has been accomplished under mild condition with excellent yields.
Trifluoroacetic acid: An efficient catalyst for paal-knorr pyrrole synthesis and its deprotection

In the present work, we demonstrated a simple and an efficient method for the condensation of substituted aryl/heteroaryl amines with acetonylacetone in the presence of trifluoro acetic acid to afford the corresponding 2,5-dimethyl-1-substitued pyrroles using Paal-Knorr synthesis in excellent yields. Trifluoroacetic acid was used under reflux condition for the deprotection of 2,5-dimethyl-1-substitued pyrroles to their corresponding substituted aryl/heteroaryl amines in moderate yields. 2,5-Dimethyl-1-substitued pyrrole were characterized by NMR and LC-MS. The yield of the compounds was found to be excellent.
