The use of an interleukin β antibody is currently being investigated in the clinic for the treatment of acne, a dermatological disorder affecting 650M persons globally. Inhibiting the protease responsible for the cleavage of inactive pro-IL1β into active IL-1β, caspase-1, could be an alternative small molecule approach. This report describes the discovery of uracil 20, a potent (38 nM in THP1 cells assay) caspase-1 inhibitor for the topical treatment of inflammatory acne. The uracil series was designed according to a published caspase-1 pharmacophore model involving a reactive warhead in P1 for covalent reversible inhibition and an aryl moiety in P4 for selectivity against the apoptotic caspases. Reversibility was assessed in an enzymatic dilution assay or by using different substrate concentrations. In addition to classical structure-activity-relationship exploration, topical administration challenges such as phototoxicity, organic and aqueous solubility, chemical stability in solution, and skin metabolic stability are discussed and successfully resolved.

In our hands, access to 2 novel peptidomimetic scaffolds, based on N-alkylated pyrroldin-2,5-diones and piperidin-2,6-diones, proved to be much more challenging than anticipated. In this short communication, we disclose the strategies that we explored and
Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of (R)- and (S)-3-(Carbobenzyloxy- amino-1-glutarimidooxy)esters

A series of (R)- and (S)-3-carbobenzyloxy-amino-1-glutarimidooxy-esters (5a-e) ((R)-and (S)-methyl-1-(3-carbobenzyloxy-amino-I glutarimidooxy)acetate (5a), (R)-and (S)-ethyl-1-(3-carbobenzyloxy-amino-glutarimidooxy)acetate (5b), (R)- and (S)-ethyl-1-(3-carbo-benzyloxy-amino-glutarimidooxy)propionate (5c), (R)- and (S)-methyl-2-(3-carbobenzyloxy-amino-glutarimidooxy)butyrate (5d), (R)- and (S)-ethyl-2-(3-carbobenzyloxy-amino-glutarimidooxy)butyrate (5e) were synthesized and investigated their anticonvulsant activities.
Synthesis of a Novel Class of Peptides: Dilactam-Bridged Tetrapeptides
Manesis, Nick J.,Goodman, Murray

As model compounds for the study of constrained peptides, the following lactam-bridged derivatives were synthesized: Ac-L--D--NHMe (I), Ac-L--L--NHMe (II), Ac-L--NHMe (III), Ac-L--D--NHMe (IV), Ac-L--L--NHMe (V), and Ac-L--NHMe (VI).Benzyloxycarbonyl and tert-butyloxycarbonyl groups were employed for amine protection and the benzyl and methyl esters for carboxyl protection.Coupling reactions were carried out by the use of active esters or through azide activation.Cyclization reactions were carried out by adding the active ester hydrochlorides into large volumes of pyridine at elevated temperatures.The cyclic intermediates were obtained in yields of 45-50percent.Fragment condensation of the cyclic dipeptides yielded the corresponding dilactam-bridged tetrapeptides.
