Discovery of Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole HCV NS4B Inhibitors Exhibiting Synergistic Effect with Other Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents
摘要:
The design, synthesis, and SAR studies of novel inhibitors of HCV NS4B based on the imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole scaffold were described. Optimization of potency with respect to genotype 1b resulted in the discovery of two potent leads 26f (EC50 = 16 nM) and 28g (EC50 = 31 nM). The resistance profile studies revealed that 26f and 28g targeted HCV NS4B, more precisely the second amphipathic alpha helix of NS4B (4BAH2). Cross-resistance between our 4BAH2 inhibitors and other direct-acting antiviral agents targeting NS3/4A, NS5A, and NS5B was not observed. For the first time, the synergism of a series of combinations based on 4BAH2 inhibitors was evaluated. The results demonstrated that our 4BAH2 inhibitor 26f was synergistic with NS3/4A inhibitor simeprevir, NS5A inhibitor daclatasvir, and NS5B inhibitor sofosbuvir, and it could also reduce the dose of these drugs at almost all effect levels. Our study suggested that favorable effects could be achieved by combining 4BAH2 inhibitors such as 26f with these approved drugs and that new all-oral antiviral combinations based on 4BAH2 inhibitors were worth developing to supplement or even replace current treatment regimens for curing HCV infection.

A novel reaction of α-haloketone (α-bromo and α-chloro ketone) with irradiation under microwave gave the corresponding α-hydroxyketone and pyrazine derivative in good yields. In the case of α,α′-dibromo ketone, α-diketone was obtained. This reaction affords a new, clean and convenient synthetic method for α-hydroxyketone, α-diketone, α-chloro ketone and pyrazine derivative.

An ionic liquid, acetylmethylimidazolium halide ([AcMIm]X), in combination with ceric ammoniumnitrate promotes halogenations of a wide variety of ketones and 1,3-keto esters at the α-position. The ionic liquid acts here as reagent as well as reaction medium, and thus the reaction does not require any organic solvent or conventional halogenating agent. The reaction is completely arrested when the radical
离子液体乙酰甲基咪唑鎓卤化物 ([AcMIm]X) 与硝酸铈铵结合可促进多种酮和 1,3-酮酯在 α 位的卤化。离子液体在此既充当试剂又充当反应介质,因此该反应不需要任何有机溶剂或常规卤化剂。当使用自由基猝灭剂 TEMPO 时,反应完全停止。还提出了一种似是而非的激进机制。
Synthesis of 4,6-Dimethyldibenzothiophene and 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene via Tilak Annulation
1,2,3,4‐Tetrahydro‐4,6‐dimethyldibenzothiophene was prepared by coupling 2‐bromo‐3‐methylcyclohexanone with 2‐methylbenzenethiol and annulating the product with the aid of polyphosphoric acid. A mixture of 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐4,6‐dimethyldibenzothiophene and 4,6‐dimethyldibenzothiophene was prepared by coupling 2‐bromo‐3‐methylcyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐one with 2‐methylbenzenethiol and annulating the product

Hydrazones derivedfrom cycloalkenones undergo an enantioselective transannular formal (3 + 2) cycloaddition catalyzed by a chiral phosphoric acid. The reaction provides high yields and excellent stereocontrol in the formation of complex adducts with one or two α-tertiary amine moieties at the ring fusion, and these can be converted into very versatile stereodefined decalin- or octahydro-1H-indene-derived
Rh‐Catalyzed Chemodivergent [3+3] Annulations of Diazoenals and α‐Aminoketones: Direct Synthesis of Functionalized 1,2‐Dihydropyridines and Fused 1,4‐Oxazines

Chemodivergent [3+3] annulations: The reactivity of Rh-enalcarbenoid has been switched from carbenoid to vinylogous NH-insertion by altering acyclic to cyclic α-amino ketones to deliver functionalized 1,2-dihydropyridines (1,2-DHPs) and fused 1,4-oxazines respectively. The structural diversification of 1,2-DHP and fused 1,4-oxazines gave valuable piperidines, pyrido[1,2-a]indole, 2-pyridone, hexahydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones
