Herein is described an efficient and chemoselective method for the synthesis of diversely substituted secondary amines in yields up to 98 %. Direct mono-N-alkylation of primary benzylamines and anilines with a wide range of alkyl halides is promoted by a cesium base in the absence of any additive or catalyst. The basicity and solubility of cesium carbonate in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide not only
Gram-negative bacteria lacking heptoses in their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) display attenuated virulence and increased sensitivity to human serum and to some antibiotics. Thus inhibition of bacterial heptose synthesis represents an attractive target for the development of new antibacterial agents. HldE is a bifunctional enzyme involved in the synthesis of bacterial heptoses. Development of a biochemical assay suitable for high-throughput screening allowed the discovery of inhibitors 1 and 2 of HldE kinase. Study of the structure-activity relationship of this series of inhibitors led to highly potent compounds. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Eukaryotic mRNA contains a 3' poly(A) tail, which plays important roles in the regulation of mRNA stability and translation. Well-characterized enzymes involved in the shortening of the poly(A) tail include the multi-subunit Ccr4-Not deadenylase, which contains the Caf1 (Pop2) and Ccr4 catalytic components, and poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN). Two Mg2+ ions present in the active sites of these ribonucleases are required for RNA cleavage. Here, we report the discovery, synthesis and biochemical profiling of purine-2,6-dione derivatives as (sub) micromolar inhibitors of Caf1. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
