Identification of BR102910 as a selective fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitor

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) belongs to the family of prolyl-specific serine proteases and displays both exopeptidase and endopeptidase activities. FAP expression is undetectable in most normal adult tissues, but is greatly upregulated in sites of tissue remodeling, which include fibrosis, inflammation and cancer. Due to its restricted expression pattern and dual enzymatic activities, FAP inhibition is investigated as a therapeutic option for several diseases. In the present study, we described the structure–activity relationship of several synthesized compounds against DPPIV and prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP). In particular, BR102910 (compound 24) showed nanomolar potency and high selectivity. Moreover, the in vivo FAP inhibition study of BR102910 (compound 24) using C57BL/6J mice demonstrated exceptional profiles and satisfactory FAP inhibition efficacy. Based on excellent in vitro and in vivo profiles, the potential of BR102910 (compound 24) as a lead candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is considered.

Nitrilase-catalysed hydrolysis of cyanomethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide: stereochemistry and mechanism

Several commercially available nitrilases have been used for the enantioselective hydrolysis of cyanomethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide into the corresponding amide and acid, which are formed in different proportions and with varying stereoselectivities, depending on the nitrilase involved. It was shown that the externally added amide is not transformed into the acid, which can be explained by assuming that both products must be produced in concurrent reactions. It was also demonstrated that the absolute configuration of the substrate exerts substantial influence on the product ratio. Two alternative explanations of the stereochemical course are presented.

Ligand exchange reaction of sulfoxides in organic synthesis: A novel method for generation of magnesium enolates and its application to synthesis of α-halocarboxylic acid derivatives and α-haloaldehydes

A new method for synthesis of α-halo(Cl, F)carboxylic acid derivatives and α-haloaldehydes is described. α-Halo-α-sulfinyl carboxylic acid, esters, and α-halo-α-sulfinyl aldehydes were easily prepared from aryl 1-haloalkyl sulfoxides and alkyl chloroformate and ethyl formate, respectively, in good yields. α-Chloro-α-sulfinyl amides were synthesized from (p-tolylthio)acetic acid. Ligand exchange reaction of the sulfinyl group of these acids, esters, amides, and aldehydes with ethylmagnesium bromide gave the magnesium enolates, which were treated with water to give α-halocarboxylic acid derivatives and α-chloroaldehydes in good yields. The magnesium enolates derived from the α-chloro-α-sulfinyl acid derivatives were trapped with carbonyl compounds to afford the adducts, which were transformed to α,β-epoxy carboxylic acid derivatives. Thermal elimination of the sulfinyl group in the α-halo-α-sulfinyl acid derivatives and the α-halo-sulfinyl aldehydes gave α-halo-α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives and α-halo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in high yields.
