Benzophenone dicarboxylic acid antagonists of leukotriene B4. 2. Structure-activity relationships of the lipophilic side chain
摘要:
A series of lipophilic benzophenone dicarboxylic acid derivatives were found to inhibit the binding of the potent chemotaxin leukotriene B4 (LTB4) to its receptor on intact human neutrophils. Activity at the LTB4 receptor was determined by using a [3H]LTB4-binding assay. The structure-activity relationship for the lipophilic side chain was systematically investigated. Compounds with n-alkyl side chains of varying lengths were prepared and tested. Best inhibition of [3H]LTB4 binding was observed with the n-decyl derivative. Analogues with alkyl chains terminated with an aromatic ring showed improved activity. The 6-phenylhexyl side chain was optimal. Substitution on the terminal aromatic ring was also evaluated. Methoxyl, methylsulfinyl, and methyl substituents greatly enhanced the activity of the compound. For a given substituent, the para isomer had the best activity. Thus the nature of the lipophilic side chain can greatly influence the ability of the compounds to inhibit the binding of LTB4 to its receptor on intact human neutrophils. The most active compound from this series, 84 (LY223982), bound to the LTB4 receptor with an affinity approaching that of the agonist.

conceptually new strategy featuring two metal‐catalyzed reactions as the key steps. A new method for the construction of 3,4‐fused benzofurans has been developed through a palladium‐catalyzed intramolecular Larock annulation reaction, which was successfully applied to the construction of the ABD tricyclic skeleton of 1 and 2. To achieve the asymmetric synthesis of 1 and 2, a ScIII/N,N′‐dioxide complex was used
(-)-加兰他敏(1)和(-)-lycoramine(2)的催化不对称全合成反应已通过采用概念上新颖的策略来实现,该策略以两个金属催化的反应为关键步骤。通过钯催化的分子内Larock环化反应,开发了一种3,4-稠合苯并呋喃的构建新方法,该方法已成功应用于1和2的ABD三环骨架的构建。为了实现1和2的不对称合成,Sc III / N,N'-二氧化物络合物被用来催化3-烷基取代的苯并呋喃酮向甲基乙烯基酮的对映选择性共轭加成反应,以构建手性季碳中心。

Core strength: A new and general strategy for the construction of 3,4‐fused tricyclic indoles, which are the core structure of numerous natural products and bioactive molecules, has been developed. The method involves a one‐step intramolecular Larock indolization and was successfully applied to the first total synthesis of fargesine.

and amine-free palladium-catalyzed Sonogashirareaction of aryl iodides and bromides with terminal alkynes have been developed. Critical to the success of this new protocol is the use of tetrabutylammonium acetate as the base. Noteworthy features of this method are room-temperature conditions and the tolerance of a broad range of functional groups in both reaction partners.
A quick and easy way to produce tricycles related to the core structure of taxanes has been achieved using a palladium‐catalyzed domino reaction (see scheme, Bz=benzoyl). These studies have been performed with function‐oriented synthesis in mind. An efficient route for the construction of new taxane scaffolds that could be decorated with various groups to achieve activities comparable or superior to
