Synthesis, Activity, and Molecular Modeling of a New Series of Tricyclic Pyridazinones as Selective Aldose Reductase Inhibitors
摘要:
Three new series of tricyclic pyridazinones have been synthesized and tested in vitro in order to assess (i) their ability to inhibit aldose reductase enzyme (ALR2) and (ii) their specificity toward the target enzyme with respect to other related oxidoreductases, such as aldehyde reductase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, and glutathione reductase. The inhibitory capability of the most effective compounds (IC50 values ranging from 6.44 to 12.6 mu M) appears to be associated with a rather significant specificity for ALR2. Molecular mechanics and molecular dynamic calculations performed on the ALR2-inhibitor complex give indications of specific interaction sites responsible for the binding, thus providing information for the design of new inhibitors with improved affinity for the enzyme.
Enantioselective Mukaiyama-Aldol Reaction between Enol Silanes and Ketomalonate Catalyzed by the Copper(II) Complex of TIPS-Substituted Bis-oxazoline
摘要:
The stable complex [(4'S,5'S)-4b/Cu(Tf)(2)/H2O] (5), obtained from TIPS-Box and Copper triflate, catalyzes enantioselectively the Mukaiyama-aldol reactions between two silyl enol ethers (1a,b) and diethyl ketomalonate (2). Yields are very good and the ee of (R)-3b is up to 94%. When the reaction was catalyzed by 4-Ph-Box complex [(4'R)-4a/Cu(Tf)(2)], in which the configuration at the C-4 centre is opposite to that of 5, the same enantiomer was obtained. The undistorted square pyramidal structure of complex 5, determined by crystallographic structure, and the effect of water and molecular sieves on efficiency and selectivity of the catalyst, suggest some proposals to rationalize the resulting stereoselectivity.
