Discovery of 2-oxy-2-phenylacetic acid substituted naphthalene sulfonamide derivatives as potent KEAP1-NRF2 protein-protein interaction inhibitors for inflammatory conditions

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a pleiotropic transcription factor which regulates the constitutive and inducible transcription of a wide array of genes and confers protection against a variety of pathologies. Directly disrupting Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1)-NRF2 protein-protein interaction (PPI) has been explored as a promising strategy to activate NRF2. We reported here the first identification of a series of 2-oxy-2-phenylacetic acid substituted naphthalene sulfonamide derivatives as potent KEAP1-NRF2 inhibitors. Our efforts led to the potent small molecule KEAP1-NRF2 inhibitor, 20c, which exhibited a Kd of 24 nM to KEAP1 and an IC50 of 75 nM in disrupting KEAP1-NRF2 interaction. Subsequent biological studies provided consistent evidence across mouse macrophage cell-based and in vivo models that 20c induced NRF2 target gene expression and enhanced downstream antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Our study not only demonstrated that small molecule KEAP1-NRF2 PPI inhibitors can be potential preventive and therapeutic agents for diseases and conditions involving oxidative stress and inflammation but also enriched the chemical diversity of the KEAP1-NRF2 inhibitors.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF THIOPHENE COMPOUND AND INTERMEDIATE THEREOF

To provide a novel process for producing a 2-aryl-3-hydroxy-4-substituted carbonyl thiophene compound or an intermediate thereof useful as an intermediate for production of medicines and agricultural chemicals. A 2-aryl acetate compound represented by the formula (1): wherein R1 is an aryl group or the like, R4 is a C1-3 alkyl group or the like, and X is a leaving group, is reacted with a thioacetic acid compound to form a thioacetyl compound (3), the thioacetyl compound (3) is reacted with a vinyl ketone compound to form a γ-ketosulfide compound (5), which is cyclized under basic conditions to form a dihydrothiophene compound (6), and the dihydrothiophene compound (6) is oxidized by using an oxidizing agent to produce a 2-aryl-3-hydroxy-4-substituted carbonyl thiophene compound (7).

1-Aryl-3-azabicyclohexanes, a New Series of Nonnarcotic Analgesic Agents

A series of 1-aryl-3-azabicyclohexanes was synthesized by hydride reduction of 1-arylcyclopropanedicarboximides.Hydroxyphenyl analogues 20, 22, and 24 were prepared by EtSNa-DMF ether cleavage of the corresponding methoxyphenyl analogues 2m, 2n, and 23, respectively, with the secondary amines 20 and 22 going through the N-formyl intermediates 19 and 21.The p-ethoxy analogue 26 was obtained by O-ethylation of 19, followed by base hydrolysis of the amide 25.The greatest analgesic potency in mouse writhing and rat paw-pain assays was observed for para-substituted compounds.Bicifadine, 1-(4-methylphenyl)-3-azabicyclohexane (2b), was the most potent member of the series and is presently undergoing clinical trials in man.Analgesic activity of 2b is limited to the (+) enantiomer 2v, which has the 1R,5S absolute configuration as determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis.The N-methyl analogue (27d) of 2b showed significant analgesic potency, whereas the N-allyl (27a), N-(cyclopropylmethyl) (27b), and N-(n-hexyl) (27c) analogues were inactive.Bicifadine (2b) showed a nonnarcotic profile different from analogous azabicycloalkane and 3-phenylpyrrolidine analgesics.
