Glutaminyl cyclase (QC) has been implicated in the formation of toxic amyloid plaques by generating the N-terminal pyroglutamate of β-amyloid peptides (pGlu-Aβ) and thus may participate in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We designed a library of glutamyl cyclase (QC) inhibitors based on the proposed binding mode of the preferred substrate, Aβ3E?42. An in vitro structure-activity relationship study identified several excellent QC inhibitors demonstrating 5- to 40-fold increases in potency compared to a known QC inhibitor. When tested in mouse models of AD, compound 212 significantly reduced the brain concentrations of pyroform Aβ and total Aβ and restored cognitive functions. This potent Aβ-lowering effect was achieved by incorporating an additional binding region into our previously established pharmacophoric model, resulting in strong interactions with the carboxylate group of Glu327 in the QC binding site. Our study offers useful insights in designing novel QC inhibitors as a potential treatment option for AD.

Heteroaryl halides undergoes cross-couplings with alkynes in good yields in the presence of [PdCl(C3H5)]2/cis,cis,cis-1,2, 3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane as catalyst. A variety of heteroaryl halides such as pyridines, quinolines, a pyrimidine, an indole, a thiophene, or a thiazole have been used successfully. The reaction also tolerates several alkynes such as phenylacetylene and a range of alk-1-ynols. Furthermore, this catalyst can be used at low loading with some substrates.

The invention encompasses compounds of general formula I: STR1 wherein W represents an imidazo[4,5-c]pyridyl group, optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from C1 -C6 alkyl, C1 -C6 alkoxy, halo, CF, and CN; and Z, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 are variables. These compounds are useful as antagonists of platelet activating factor.
