The recent approval of aducanumab for Alzheimer's disease has heightened the interest in therapies targeting the amyloid hypothesis. Our research has focused on identification of novel compounds to improve amyloid processing by modulating gamma secretase activity, thereby addressing a significant biological deficit known to plague the familial form of the disease. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, and optimization of new gamma secretase modulators (GSMs) based on previously reported oxadiazine 1. Potency improvements with a focus on predicted and measured properties afforded high-quality compounds further differentiated via robust Aβ42 reductions in both rodents and nonhuman primates. Extensive preclinical profiling, efficacy studies, and safety studies resulted in the nomination of FRM-024, (+)-cis-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-cyclopropyl-3-(6-methoxy-5-(4-methyl-1H-imidazole-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2,4-oxadiazine, as a GSM preclinical candidate for familial Alzheimer's disease.

New psychoactive substances (NPSs) have become a popular alternative to illicit drugs of abuse. However, to determine their metabolic pathways in the human organism, a detailed knowledge of their structure is crucial. Here, we present a comprehensive spectroscopic structural study of synthetic cathinones (clephedrone, flephedrone, and brephedrone) and their major human metabolites, desmethyl derivatives. Chiral high-performance liquid chromatography was utilized to obtain the individual enantiomers of the parent synthetic cathinones and their assumed major metabolites synthesized de novo. The developed chromatographic method made it possible to obtain the target optically pure substances on a multimilligram scale. Electronic and vibrational circular dichroism, combined with infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy and supported by DFT calculations, were used to determine their absolute configuration and the chiroptical methods to elucidate their molecular structure in detail. Two stable conformers of each substance were found in aqueous solution. Their relative abundances were estimated based on the Boltzmann distribution and the population weighted spectra were obtained. Very good agreement was achieved between the experimental and simulated spectra, enabling the 3D structures of the studied substances to be determined in aqueous solution. This journal is

Nitrogen-nitrogen bonds containing motifs are ubiquitous in natural products and bioactive compounds. However, the atropisomerism arising from a restricted rotation around an N-N bond is largely overlooked. Here, we describe a method to access the first enantioselective synthesis of N-N biaryl atropisomers via a Cu-bisoxazoline-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. A wide range of axially chiral N-N bisazaheterocycle compounds were efficiently prepared in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities via desymmetrization and kinetic resolution. Heating experiments showed that the axially chiral bisazaheterocycle products have high rotational barriers.

A series of new benzene-based derivatives was designed, synthesized and comprehensively characterized. All of the tested compounds were evaluated for their in vitro ability to potentially inhibit the acetyl-and butyrylcholinesterase enzymes. The selectivity index of individual molecules to cholinesterases was also determined. Generally, the inhibitory potency was stronger against butyryl-compared to acetylcholinesterase; however, some of the compounds showed a promising inhibition of both enzymes. In fact, two compounds (23, benzyl ethyl(1-oxo-1-phenylpropan-2-yl)carbamate and 28, benzyl (1-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl) (methyl)carbamate) had a very high selectivity index, while the second one (28) reached the lowest inhibitory concentration IC50 value, which corresponds quite well with galanthamine. Moreover, comparative receptor-independent and receptor-dependent structure–activity studies were conducted to explain the observed variations in inhibiting the potential of the investigated carbamate series. The principal objective of the ligand-based study was to comparatively analyze the molecular surface to gain insight into the electronic and/or steric factors that govern the ability to inhibit enzyme activities. The spatial distribution of potentially important steric and electrostatic factors was determined using the probability-guided pharmacophore mapping procedure, which is based on the iterative variable elimination method. Additionally, planar and spatial maps of the host–target interactions were created for all of the active compounds and compared with the drug molecules using the docking methodology.

Bcr-Abl plays an important role in the pathogenesis and development of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). But Bcr-Abl is prone to mutation, so it increases the difficulty of clinical treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to design a new class of broad-spectrum Bcr-Abl inhibitors. Herein, forty novel thiazolamide-benzamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated their broad-spectrum Bcr-Abl inhibitory activities. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by using spectrum data (1H NMR, APCI-MS and IR) and elemental analysis. The protein kinase results indicated that eight compounds (3a, 3e, 3m, 3n, 3p, 4c, 4f, 4g) showed high activities to wild-type and T315I mutation. The most potent compound 3m exhibited an Abl IC50 value as low as 1.273 μM and showed inhibition to the T315I mutant with IC50 value 39.89 μM. 3m could prove to be a new promising lead compound for the further development of broad-spectrum Bcr-Abl inhibitors to overcome clinical acquired resistance.
Synthesis of α,β-dibromo ketones by photolysis of α-bromo ketones with N-bromosuccinimide: Photoinduced β-bromination of α-bromo ketones

Irradiation of α-bromopropiophenones in the presence of NBS results in the formation of α,β-dibromopropiophenones, which can be viewed as β-bromination of α-bromopropiophenones. The reaction is believed to go through a series of reactions; photoinduced C–Br bond cleavage, elimination of HBr to give α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediates, and addition of Br2, which are formed by the reaction between HBr and NBS. From mechanistic studies of the reaction, we have also found a very convenient method for α-debromination of the α,β-dibromopropiophenones which is by simple irradiation of the dibromo ketones in acetone or 2-propanol without the use of any additives. Our results demonstrate that bromine can be added into or eliminated from the alpha, beta, or both positions to the carbonyl group by photochemical methods, which make synthetic options of bromine containing carbonyl compounds versatile.

An efficient synthetic route towards the synthesis of β-keto sulfones has been developed from secondary benzyl alcohols using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). The present protocol utilizes NBS as oxidant as well as brominating agent, readily accessible benzyl alcohols and sodium arenesulfinates as the sulfonylating reagent under mild conditions. The control experiments revealed that the reaction proceeds via oxidation of alcohol to ketone, α-bromination of ketone and nucleophilic substitution by sodium arenesulfinate. Furthermore, the efficiency of the methodology was tested with a gram scale reaction and also shown the synthetic utility.

The formal total synthesis of hybocarpone was achieved in eight steps from commercially available 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene. Key transformations include a visible-light-promoted benzannulation to construct the key α-naphthol intermediate and a modified CAN-mediated dimerization/hydration cascade sequence to generate the vicinal all-carbon quaternary centers in a stereocontrolled manner. The total synthesis of boryquinone was also achieved in seven steps.

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.
