Small-Molecule Inhibitors of Protein Geranylgeranyltransferase Type I
摘要:
Small molecules that inhibit the geranylgeranylation of K-Ras4B and RhoA by protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGTase-I) were identified from chemical genetic screens of heterocycles synthesized through phosphine catalysis of allenes. To further improve the efficacy of the GGTase-I inhibitors (GGTIs), 4288 related compounds bearing core dihydropyrrole/pyrrolidine and tetrahydropyridine/piperidine scaffolds were synthesized on SynPhase lanterns in a split-pool manner through phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] and [4 + 2] annulations of resin-bound allenoates. Testing of the 4288 analogues resulted in several GGTIs exhibiting submicromolar IC50 values. Because proteins such as Ras and Rho GTPases are implicated in oncogenesis and metastasis, these GGTIs might ultimately lead to the development of novel antitumor therapeutics.

reaction) in the presence of LiClO4 or BF3·Et2O in acetonitrile has been studied. The reaction provided the addition products in very high yields. The method has been successfully utilized for the synthesis of (S)-phenylglycine methyl ester.
A highly efficient procedure for the preparation of N-sulfonylimines via condensation of sulfonamides with aldehydes as well as ketones in the presence of triarylmethyl chlorides as metal-free organo-catalysts at 40 °C is described. The advantages of this class of catalysts over the reported ones are their efficiency and possibility of running reactions in neutral media that makes them suitable for

Tributylphosphine was used as catalyst to facilitate a [3+2] cycloaddition between gamma-substituted allenoates and N-sulfonylimines. The resulting adducts, 3-carbethoxy-2,5-disubstituted-3-pyrrolines were formed in excellent yields with high diastereoselectivity. The reaction went to completion in several hours at room temperature, and the starting materials were easily prepared with one step from commercially available compounds via known procedures.
