Method for preparing olefine aldehyde by catalyzing terminal alkyne or terminal conjugated eneyne and diphosphine ligand used in method
-
Paragraph 0146-0148, (2021/05/29)
The invention discloses a method for preparing olefine aldehyde by catalyzing terminal alkyne or terminal conjugated eneyne and a diphosphine ligand used in the method. According to the invention, indole-substituted phosphoramidite diphosphine ligand which is stable in air and insensitive to light is synthesized by utilizing a continuous one-pot method, and the indole-substituted phosphoramidite diphosphine ligand and a rhodium catalyst are used for jointly catalyzing to successfully achieve a hydroformylation reaction of aromatic terminal alkyne and terminal conjugated eneyne under the condition of synthesis gas for the first time, so that an olefine aldehyde structure compound can be rapidly and massively prepared, and particularly, a polyolefine aldehyde structure compound which is more difficult to synthesize in the prior art can be easily prepared and synthesized, and a novel method is provided for synthesis and modification of drug molecules, intermediates and chemical products.

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) methylates nicotinamide (vitamin B3) to generate 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA). NNMT overexpression has been linked to a variety of diseases, most prominently human cancers, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target. The development of small-molecule NNMT inhibitors has gained interest in recent years, with the most potent inhibitors sharing structural features based on elements of the nicotinamide substrate and the S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) cofactor. We here report the development of new bisubstrate inhibitors that include electron-deficient aromatic groups to mimic the nicotinamide moiety. In addition, a trans-alkene linker was found to be optimal for connecting the substrate and cofactor mimics in these inhibitors. The most potent NNMT inhibitor identified exhibits an IC50 value of 3.7 nM, placing it among the most active NNMT inhibitors reported to date. Complementary analytical techniques, modeling studies, and cell-based assays provide insights into the binding mode, affinity, and selectivity of these inhibitors.

A known natural product, magnaldehyde B, was identified as an agonist of retinoid X receptor (RXR) α. Magnaldehyde B was isolated from Magnolia obovata (Magnoliaceae) and synthesized along with more potent analogs for screening of their RXRα agonistic activities. Structural optimization of magnaldehyde B resulted in the development of a candidate molecule that displayed a 440-fold increase in potency. Receptor-ligand docking simulations indicated that this molecule has the highest affinity with the ligand binding domain of RXRα among the analogs synthesized in this study. Furthermore, the selective activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) δ-RXR heterodimer with a stronger efficacy compared to those of PPARα-RXR and PPARγ-RXR was achieved in luciferase reporter assays using the PPAR response element driven reporter (PPRE-Luc). The PPARδactivity of the molecule was significantly inhibited by the antagonists of both RXR and PPARδ, whereas the activity of GW501516 was not affected by the RXR antagonist. Furthermore, the molecule exhibited a particularly weak PPARδagonistic activity in reporter gene assays using the Gal4 hybrid system. The obtained data therefore suggest that the weak PPARδagonistic activity of the optimized molecule is synergistically enhanced by its own RXR agonistic activity, indicating the potent agonistic activity of the PPARδ-RXR heterodimer.
