Structure–Activity Relationship Studies of α-Ketoamides as Inhibitors of the Phospholipase A and Acyltransferase Enzyme Family
摘要:
The phospholipase A and acyltransferase (PLAAT) family of cysteine hydrolases consists of five members, which are involved in the Ca2+-independent production of N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs). NAPEs are lipid precursors for bioactive N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) that are involved in various physiological processes such as food intake, pain, inflammation, stress, and anxiety. Recently, we identified alpha-ketoamides as the first pan-active PLAAT inhibitor scaffold that reduced arachidonic acid levels in PLAAT3-overexpressing U2OS cells and in HepG2 cells. Here, we report the structure-activity relationships of the alpha-ketoamide series using activity-based protein profiling. This led to the identification of LEI-301, a nanomolar potent inhibitor for the PLAAT family members. LEI-301 reduced the NAE levels, including anandamide, in cells overexpressing PLAAT2 or PLAAT5. Collectively, LEI-301 may help to dissect the physiological role of the PLAATs.
The enantioselective tandemreaction of β,γ‐unsaturated α‐ketoesters with β‐alkynyl ketones was realized by a bimetallic catalytic system of achiral AuΙΙΙ salt and chiral N,N′‐dioxide‐MgΙΙ complex. The cycloisomerization of β‐alkynyl ketone and asymmetric intermolecular [4+2] cycloaddition with β,γ‐unsaturated α‐ketoesters subsequently occurred, providing an efficient and straightforward access to

We described a Ni-bidentate oxazoline catalyzed highly enantio- and diastereoselective decarboxylative aldol reaction of 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid/2-oxochromane-3-carboxylic acid derivatives with different kinds of carbonyls. Under optimal reaction conditions, α-substituted β-hydroxy butyrolactones and dihydrocoumarins with an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter have been generated with

base-mediated [3 + 3] benzannulation strategy for the conversion of 1,3-bis(sulfonyl)propenes and β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters to diaryl sulfones has been developed. This method provides facile, metal-free and efficient access to highly substituted diaryl sulfones in good to excellent yields. In addition, the sulfonyl group could be easily removed or converted to other functional groups via an organostannane

Under mild conditions, a broad range of bispirotetrahydrofuran oxindoles have been synthesized with excellent stereoselectivities through the cascadeMichael/hemiketalization/Friedel–Crafts reaction of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoamide and 2-hydroxy-1-indanone. The reaction can be performed on a gram scale with low catalyst loading (2 mol %) without impacting its efficiency.

Three-componentheterocyclizations of pyruvic acids and their esters with 5-aminopyrazoles and aromaticaldehydes, in addition to the sequential versions of these reactions, under different activating conditions were studied. Under conventional heating, pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives containing a hydroxyl group in the 6-position were formed in both two- and three-component treatments. Whereas the application
