The most common CF mutation, F508del, impairs the processing and gating of CFTR protein. This deletion results in the improper folding of the protein and its degradation before it reaches the plasma membrane of epithelial cells. Present correctors, like VX809 only induce a partial rescue of the mutant protein. Our previous studies reported a class of compounds, called aminoarylthiazoles (AATs), featuring an interesting activity as correctors. Some of them show additive effect with VX809 indicating a different mechanism of action. In an attempt to construct more interesting molecules, it was thought to generate chemically hybrid compounds, blending a portion of VX809 merged to the thiazole scaffold. This approach was guided by the development of QSAR analyses, which were performed based on the F508del correctors so far disclosed in the literature. This strategy was aimed at exploring the key requirements turning in the corrector ability of the collected derivatives and allowed us to derive a predictive model guiding for the synthesis of novel hybrids as promising correctors. The new molecules were tested in functional and biochemical assays on bronchial CFBE41o-cells expressing F508del-CFTR showing a promising corrector activity.

We report a palladium-catalyzed method to synthesize acid chlorides by the chlorocarbonylation of aryl bromides. Mechanistic studies suggest the combination of sterically encumbered PtBu3 and CO coordination to palladium can rapidly equilibrate the oxidative addition/reductive elimination of carbon-halogen bonds. This provides a useful method to assemble highly reactive acid chlorides from stable and available reagents, and can be coupled with subsequent nucleophilic reactions to generate new classes of carbonylated products. The Good, the Bad and the Bulky! By employing a sterically encumbered phosphine ligand, tri-tert-butyl phosphine, under palladium catalysis inert aryl bromides are chlorocarbonylated to create reactive acid chlorides by reversible carbon-halogen bond reductive elimination. This general platform allows for an expanded scope of the Heck carbonylation reaction to include previously incompatible nucleophiles.
