Design, Synthesis, and Biological Activity of a Novel Series of Human Sirtuin-2-Selective Inhibitors
摘要:
Selective inhibitors of human sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), a deacetylase, are candidate therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease as well as potential tools for elucidating the biological functions of SIRT2. On the basis of homology models of SIRT1 and SIRT2, we designed and prepared a series of 2-anilinobenzamide analogues. Enzyme assays using recombinant SIRT1 and SIRT2 revealed that 3'-phenethyloxy-2-anilinobenzamide analogues such as 33a and 33i are potent and selective SIRT2 inhibitors, showing more than 3.5-fold greater SIRT2-inhibitory activity and more than 35-fold greater SIRT2-selectivity compared with AGK2 (3), a previously reported SIRT2-selective inhibitor. Compound 33a also induced a dose-dependent selective increase of alpha-tubulin acetylation in human colon cancer HCT116 cells, indicating selective inhibition of SIRT2 in the cells. These 3'-phenethyloxy-2-anilinobenzamide derivatives represent an entry into a new class of SIRT2-selective inhibitors.

A solvent-free cross-coupling method for oxidative amidation of aldehydes and alcohols via a metal-free radial pathway has been demonstrated. The proposed methodology uses the TBAI-TBHP combination which efficiently induces metal-free C–H activation of aldehydes under neat conditions at 50 °C or ball-milling conditions at room temperature.

acids with primary and secondary amines under a variety of conditions (reflux, sealed tube, microwave) has been compared for a significant range of coupling partners of relevance to the preparation of amides of interest in pharmaceutical chemistry. Commercial microwave reactors promote the fastest couplings and allow the use of significantly sterically hinderedamines (primary and secondary) and carboxylic
