Discovery and optimization of a novel series of liver X receptor-α agonists
摘要:
A novel series of hexafluorocarbinols were discovered as potent activators of the liver X receptor-alpha using a fluorescence polarization assay. Structure-activity relationship study led to the identification of compounds that are more potent agonists than the endogenous ligand, 24(S), 25-epoxycholesterol, with similar efficacy. Several compounds, including T0901317, were shown to have desirable pharmacokinetic profiles suitable for in vivo studies. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A cobalt-catalyzed site-selective functionalization of anilinederivatives with hexafluoroisopropanol, which enables the synthesis of a wide array of fluoroalkylated anilines, a class of highly valuable building blocks for further preparation of fluorinated functional products, is reported. The developed transformation proceeds with operational simplicity, use of earth-abundant metal catalyst, broad
Polyfluorohydroxyisopropyl: -indolines, -tetrahydroquinolines, and -benzazepines, such a .alpha.,.alpha.-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-6-methano l, useful as intermediates for antihypertensives.
