Small molecule amides as potent ROR-γ selective modulators
摘要:
The structure-activity relationship study of a diphenylpropanamide series of ROR-gamma selective modulators is reported. Compounds were screened using chimeric receptor Gal4 DNA-binding domain (DBD)-NR ligand binding domain cotransfection assay in a two-step format. Three different regions of the scaffold were modified to assess the effects on repression of ROR-gamma transcriptional activity and potency. The lead compound 1 exhibits modest mouse pharmacokinetics and an acceptable in vitro profile which makes it a suitable in vivo probe to interrogate the functions of ROR-gamma in animal models of disease.

Stepwise Palladium-Catalyzed 1,4-Addition of Arylboronic Acids to Enones and Regioselective Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation for Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Diaryl Esters and (+)-(<i>R</i>)-Tolterodine
Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of chiral β-diaryl ketones synthesized by 1,4-addition of arylboronicacids to β-aryl-α,β-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by a palladium(2+)-chiraphos complex provided optically active /3-diaryl esters up to 98% ee. The protocol was applied to the synthesis of a potent competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist, (R)-tolterodine (21), which has a chiral center consisting of two
