Dissociated Nonsteroidal Glucocorticoid Receptor Modulators; Discovery of the Agonist Trigger in a Tetrahydronaphthalene−Benzoxazine Series
摘要:
The tetrahydronaphthalene-benzoxazine glucocorticoid receptor (GR) partial agonist 4b was optimized to produce potent full agonists of GR. Aromatic ring substitution of the tetrahydronaphthalene leads to weak GR antagonists. Discovery of an "agonist trigger" substituent on the saturated ring of the tetrahydronaphthalene leads to increased potency and efficacious GR agonism. These compounds are efficacy selective in an NFkB GR agonist assay ( representing transrepression effects) over an MMTV GR agonist assay ( representing transactivation effects). 52 and 60 have NFkB pIC(50) = 8.92 (105%) and 8.69 (92%) and MMTV pEC(50) = 8.20 (47%) and 7.75 (39%), respectively. The impact of the trigger substituent on agonism is modeled within GR and discussed. 36, 52, and 60 have anti-inflammatory activity in a mouse model of inflammation after topical dosing with 52 and 60, having an effect similar to that of dexamethasone. The original lead was discovered by a manual agreement docking method, and automation of this method is also described.

An efficient catalytic asymmetric [2+2] cycloadditionreaction of allenyl imide and alkenes was achieved by utilizing chiral N,N′-dioxide-magnesium(II) complex as the catalyst. This protocol provided a series of axially chiral cyclobutenes in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. A stepwise mechanism was proposed based on experimental studies and DFT calculations and π–π stacking interaction
An enantioselective three-component reaction of α-diazo ketones with alkenes and 1,3,5-triazines is reported, which leads to poly-functionalized chiral ketones with excellent enantioselectivity. This unprecedented metal carbene gem-dialkylation reaction features a cascade formal asymmetric allylation and aminomethylation process with concomitant construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters using
