Discovery of wrightiadione as a novel template for the TrkA kinase inhibitors
摘要:
Enzymatic kinase assays and docking simulation studies have shown that the natural product wrightiadione displays inhibitory activity toward TrkA and PLK3. In this study, the template of wrightiadione served as a starting point for Trk inhibitor development campaigns. Molecular simulation provided structural insights for the design of derivatives that were efficiently generated by our recently developed 3-step tandem synthetic approach, resulting in the discovery of compound 2h with biochemical potency at the single-digit micromolar level.

C2- and C5-alkynylated quinolone scaffolds are core structures of numerous biologicallyactivemolecules. Utilizing TIPS-EBX as an alkynylating agent, we have developed an efficient and site-selective C5 alkynylation of 4-quinolones that is directed by the weakly coordinating carbonyl group. In addition, Ru(II) catalyzed C2-selective alkynylation was successfully realized via N-pyrimidyl group-directed

Wrightiadione contains a unique tetracyclic isoflavone moiety and has been shown to exhibit a broad range of biological activities. An efficient and Straightforward synthetic method for generating the molecular complexity,of wrightiadione was developed, through three-step tandem dehydrogenation/oxidation/oxidative cyclization reactions with a Pd/Cu. catalytic system. This Unprecedented one-pot route utilizes a broad: range of substrates, providing a convenient and powerful synthetic tool for accessing naturally occurring tetracyclic isoflavone wrightiadione and its nitrogen-containing derivatives.
