Structure−Activity Relationships of Substituted 1-Pyridyl-2-phenyl-1,2-ethanediones: Potent, Selective Carboxylesterase Inhibitors
摘要:
Inhibition of intestinal carboxylesterases may allow modification of the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamic profile of existing drugs by altering half-life or toxicity. Since previously identified diarylethane-1,2-dione inhibitors are decidedly hydrophobic, a modified dione scaffold was designed and elaborated into a > 300 member library, which was subsequently screened to establish the SAR for esterase inhibition. This allowed the identification of single digit nanomolar hiCE inhibitors that showed improvement in selectivity and measured solubility.

An efficient iodine/copper(II) oxide co‐promoted direct oxidative coupling of anilines and methyl aryl ketones has been developed for the synthesis of p‐amino‐substituted unsymmetrical benzils and their iodo‐substituted derivatives. The chemoselectivity of the reactions can be easily controlled by adjusting the amount of iodine. This method exhibits good functional group tolerance for various substituents
