Isoform-Selective and Stereoselective Inhibition of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-2
摘要:
Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) transcription factors reside at the center of signaling pathways used by mammalian cells to sense and respond to low oxygen levels. While essential to maintain oxygen homeostasis, misregulation of HIF protein activity correlates with tumor development and metastasis. To provide artificial routes to target misregulated HIF activity, we identified small molecule antagonists of the HIF-2 transcription factor that bind an internal cavity within the C-terminal PAS domain of the HIF-2 alpha subunit. Here we describe a new class of chiral small molecule ligands that provide the highest affinity binding, the most effective, isoform-selective inhibition of HIP-2 in cells, and trigger the largest protein conformation changes reported to date. The current results further illuminate the molecular mechanism of HIF-2 antagonism and suggest additional routes to develop higher affinity and potency HIF-2 antagonists.
The copper-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of α,β-unsaturated ketoximeacetates with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds for the synthesis of three classes of structurally diverse pyridines has been developed. This method employs 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds as C2 synthons and enables the synthesis of multifunctionalized pyridines with diverse electron-withdrawing groups in moderate to good yields. The mechanistic investigation

highly enantioselective formal [4 + 2] annulation involving electron-deficient allenes as C2-synthons has been developed under bifunctional phosphonium salt catalysis. With this catalytic protocol, a wide range of synthetically interesting and highly functionalized chiral 4H-pyran derivatives were readily prepared in good yields (up to 99%) with outstanding diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to
The scope of the novel ruthenium‐catalyzed tandem cross‐metathesis/intramolecular‐hydroarylation sequence is described. This methodology offers a practical and efficient synthesis of structurally diverse and complex tetrahydrocarbazoles in good to excellent yields (up to 98 %). Moreover, preliminary efforts towards the development of an enantioselective version of the current process by sequential

A cycloisomerization of aryl allenylketones to 3-arylidene-indan-1-ones using a cationic Fe-complex as a catalyst is reported. The catalyst opens a synthetically interesting reaction pathway to this surprisingly underrepresented class of indanones that are not accessible using alternative catalytic systems.

several opportunities for the synthesis of new bioactive compounds. The reactions are shown to proceed via cobalt(III)-carbene radical intermediates, which are involved in intramolecular hydrogen transfer (HAT) from the allylic position to the carbene radical, followed by a near-barrierless radical rebound step in the coordination sphere of cobalt. The proposed mechanism is supported by experimental observations
