Deregulation of the receptor tyrosine kinase RET has been implicated in medullary thyroid cancer, a small percentage of lung adenocarcinomas, endocrine-resistant breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. There are several clinically approved multi-kinase inhibitors that target RET as a secondary pharmacology but additional activities, most notably inhibition of KDR, lead to dose-limiting toxicities. There is, therefore, a clinical need for more specific RET kinase inhibitors. Herein we report our efforts towards identifying a potent and selective RET inhibitor using vandetanib 1 as the starting point for structure-based drug design. Phenolic anilinoquinazolines exemplified by 6 showed improved affinities towards RET but, unsurprisingly, suffered from high metabolic clearance. Efforts to mitigate the metabolic liability of the phenol led to the discovery that a flanking substituent not only improved the hepatocyte stability, but could also impart a significant gain in selectivity. This culminated in the identification of 36; a potent RET inhibitor with much improved selectivity against KDR.

Platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs stabilized by an ionic-liquid-like-copolymer (IP) immobilized in various ionic liquids (ILs)) effectively catalyze the selective hydrogenation of aromatic chloronitro compounds to aromatic chloroamines, a reaction of considerable commercial significance. The preparation of 2,4-dichloro-3-aminophenol (DAP) has been primarily studied due to its important industrial applications. DAP is usually prepared from 2,4-dichloro-3-nitrophenol (DNP) by reduction with hydrogen using Ni- or Pt-based catalysts. Compared to reactions in molecular (organic) solvents, the ILs system provides superior selectivity with functionalized ILs containing an alcohol group demonstrating the best recyclability, and ultimately achieving a turnover number of 2025 which is 750 fold higher than Raney nickel catalyst. A universal catalyst-ionic liquid system for the conversion of aromatic chloronitro compounds to aromatic chloroamines was also established. TEM, XPS, IR spectroscopy were used to characterize the morphology of the nanocatalysts allowing their structure to be correlated to their activity.
