A novel series of zwitterions is reported that contains potent, selective antagonists of the chemoattractant receptor-homologous expressed on Th2 lymphocytes receptor (CRTh2 or DP2). A high quality lead compound 2 was discovered from virtual screening based on the pharmacophore features present in a literature compound 1. Lead optimization through side chain modification and preliminary changes around the acid are disclosed. Optimization of physicochemical properties (log D, MWt, and HBA) allowed maintenance of high CRTh2 potency while achieving low rates of metabolism and minimization of other potential concerns such as hERG channel activity and permeability. A step-change increase in potency was achieved through addition of a single methyl group onto the piperazine ring, which gave high quality compounds suitable for progression into in vivo studies.
The invention relates to substituted aryl acids as useful pharmaceutical compounds for treating respiratory disorders, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and processes for their preparation.

A protocol for the facile synthesis of 2-phenylnaphthalene has been developed. The benzyl carbon acts as a nucleophilic center in the presence of the amide nitrogen and acetate oxygen, affording the selective formation of a naphthalene scaffold through the dimerization of the reactants.
2-Arylacetamides as Versatile Precursors for 3-Aminoisocoumarin and Homophthalimide Derivatives: Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade Double Carbonylation Reactions
The synthesis of biologically relevant homophthalimide and 3‐aminoisocoumarin nuclei via palladium‐catalyzed carbonylation of 2‐(2‐iodoaryl)acetamides has been developed. The degree of N‐substitution on the starting amide substrate dictates whether C−N or C−O coupling takes place in the final step of the catalytic cycle giving rise to each type of heterocycle. The introduction of a second C−halogen
