Exploitation of a Novel Binding Pocket in Human Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) Discovered through X-ray Fragment Screening
摘要:
Elevated levels of human lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA(2)) are associated with cardiovascular disease and dementia. A fragment screen was conducted against Lp-PLA(2) in order to identify novel inhibitors. Multiple fragment hits were observed in different regions of the active site, including some hits that bound in a pocket created by movement of a protein side chain (approximately 13 A from the catalytic residue Ser273). Using structure guided design, we optimized a fragment that bound in this pocket to generate a novel low nanomolar chemotype, which did not interact with the catalytic residues.

successfully employed to shift the equilibrium of a one-pot, two-step, two-enzymecascade reaction affording enantiopureepoxides starting from prochiral α-chloroketones. The α-chloroketones were asymmetrically reduced employing an alcohol dehydrogenase and then transformed further to the corresponding epoxides employing halohydrin dehalogenases. Each epoxide enantiomer could be obtained with up to 93% conversion
heterogeneous catalyst exhibits advantages over its homogeneous counterpart in the synthesis of β-hydroxyesters from epoxides. However, leaching of cobaltate from the catalytic support decreases the selectivity and recyclability of the catalyst. To overcome such drawbacks, a bis-imidazolium-based covalenttriazineframework (CTF) is employed as a catalytic support for the hydroesterification catalyst to reduce

proposed new family of antibacterial agents targeted to the penicillin receptor. The glycine and alanine members of the family have been synthesized, as racemates, in seven steps from the four-carbon synthon diketene and the tert-butyl esters of N-hydroxyglycine and N-hydroxyalanine. Numerous alternatives to diketene have also been examined, but these lead mainly to five-membered cyclic hydroxamates

Stable and readily available N,N′-di-Boc-substituted thiourea, when activated with trifluoroacetic acid anhydride, was used as a novel thioacylating agent. Through the thioacylation of nucleophiles, such as amines, alcohols, thiols, sodium benzenethiolate, and sodium malonates with N,N′-di-Boc-substituted thiourea, a series of thiocarbonyl compounds were prepared under mild conditions with good chemical selectivity and functional group tolerance.

The present invention relates to optically active dihydroxy hexanoate derivatives, boronate esters of formula (IIa) which are useful intermediates for the synthesis of HMG-CoA enzyme inhibitors like atorvastatin, cerivastatin, rosuvastatin, pitavastatin, fluvastatin. Ar = unsubstituted or substituted aryl or heteroaryl, R3 = alkyl from 1 to 8 carbons, aryl or aralkyl, R4 = O, OH, CN or a halogen and a = single bond or a double bond.
