Analogs of the dopamine D4 receptor ligand FAUC 113 with planar- and central-chirality
摘要:
employing yeast enzymes, natural amino acids and the Jacobsen's catalyst as sources of chirality, we have synthesized pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives with central- and planar-chirality as analogs of the dopamine D4 receptor ligand FAUC 113. In vitro binding experiments displayed enhanced D2 and D3 affinity for both enantiomers of the [2.2]paracyclophane 3. The C-methylpiperazine (R)-4a revealed excellent D4 selectivity.

Development of β-Amino Alcohol Derivatives That Inhibit Toll-like Receptor 4 Mediated Inflammatory Response as Potential Antiseptics
摘要:
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) induced proinflammatory signaling has been directly implicated in severe sepsis and represents an attractive therapeutic target. Herein, we report our investigations into the structure-activity relationship and preliminary drug metabolism/pharmacokinetics study of beta-amino alcohol derivatives that inhibit the TLR4 signaling pathway. Lead compounds were identified from in vitro cellular examination with micromolar potency for their inhibitory effects on TLR4 signaling and subsequently assessed for their ability to suppress the TLR4-induced inflammatory response in an ex vivo whole blood model. In addition, the toxicology, specificity, solubility, brain-blood barrier permeability, and drug metabolism of several compounds were evaluated. Although further optimizations are needed, our findings lay the groundwork for the future drug development of this class of small molecule agents for the treatment of severe sepsis.

derived from the β-blocker inhibitor S-timolol determined the most active catalyst of asymmetric α-hydroxylation of β-ketoesters. (R)-1-(tert-butylamino)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenoxy) propan-2-ol (3k) was the most effective derivative, enantioselectively catalyzing α-hydroxylation of β-ketoesters using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant in hexane to afford the corresponding products in excellent yield

The present invention provides novel tricyclic spiro-oxathiine naphthoquinone derivatives, a synthetic method for making the derivatives, and the use of the derivatives to induce cell death and/or to inhibit proliferation of cancer or precancerous cells. The naphthoquinone derivatives of the present invention are related to the compound known as β-lapachone (3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-naphtho(1,2-b)pyran-5,6-dione).
ortho‐substituted phenyl glycidyl ethers and para‐nitrostyrene oxide. Worthy of note is that the substrate structure remarkably affected the enantioselectivities of the enzyme, as a reversed (S)‐enantiopreference was unexpectedly observed for the ortho‐nitrophenyl glycidyl ether. As a proof‐of‐concept, five enantiopure epoxides (>99% ee) were obtained in high yields, and a gram‐scale preparation of
Among chiral macrocycles 1 synthesized, 1m with the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylethynyl group was the best organocatalyst for the enantioselective synthesis of cyclic carbonates from disubstituted or monosubstituted epoxides and CO2. The X-ray crystal structure of 1m revealed a well-defined chiral cavity with multiple hydrogen-bonding sites that is suitable for the enantioselective activation of

triazolium halide units were synthesized as bifunctional catalysts for kinetic resolution of epoxides with CO2. Several catalysts were screened by changing the linker length and nucleophilic counteranions, and the optimized catalyst accelerated the enantioselective reaction at ambient temperature to produce optically active cyclic carbonates and epoxides.
