Structural design and synthesis of arylalkynyl amide-type peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)-selective antagonists based on the helix12-folding inhibition hypothesis
摘要:
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) antagonists are candidates for treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis. However, few rational design strategies are currently available. Here, we utilized the helix12 (H12)-folding inhibition hypothesis, in combination with our previously determined X-ray crystal structure of PPAR gamma agonist MEKT-21 (6) complexed with the PPAR gamma ligand-binding domain, to design and develop a potent phenylalkynyl amide-type PPAR gamma antagonist 9i, focusing initially on pinpoint structural modification of the propanoic acid moiety of 6. Since 9i retained very weak, but distinct, PPAR gamma agonist activity, we next modified the distal benzene ring of 9i, aiming to delete the residual PPAR gamma agonist activity while retaining the antagonist activity. Introduction of a chlorine atom at the 2-position of the distal benzene ring afforded 9p, which exhibited potent, PPAR gamma-selective full antagonist activity without detectable agonist activity. We found that 9p stabilized the corepressor PPAR gamma complex and suppressed basal PPAR gamma activity. This compound showed anti-adipogenesis activity at the cellular level. This agonist antagonist switching concept based on the H12-folding inhibition hypothesis should also be applicable for designing other classes of PPAR gamma full antagonists.

An efficient and convenient palladium-catalyzed cascade carboesterification of norbornenes (NBE) with alkynes has been accomplished to afford functionalized α-methylene γ-lactone and tetrahydrofuran derivatives in good to excellent yields. This new strategy exhibits excellent atom- and step-economy, good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope. In particular, NBE-palladium species was

A highly efficient heterogeneous gold(I)-catalyzed oxidation of internal acylalkynes has been developed using 2,6-dichloropyridine N-oxide as the oxidant in dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) at room temperature, providing a novel and practical approach for the construction of diverse vicinal tricarbonyls such as α,β-diketoesters, 1,2,3-triketones, and α,β-diketoamides in good to excellent yields. The heterogeneous

An unprecedented redox-neutral annulation reaction of tertiary anilines with electron-deficient alkynes was developed that proceeds through a cascade Friedel–Crafts alkylation/[1,5]-hydride transfer/Mannich cyclization sequence. Under B(C6F5)3 catalysis, a range of functionalized 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines were facilely constructed in moderate to good yields with exclusive 3,4-anti-stereochemistry
A novel palladium-catalyzed, one-pot, four-step cascademethod has been developed to afford functionalized gamma-lactones in moderate to good yields. This novel and general methodology represents a rare instance of carbonylation of the C(sp(3))-palladium bond.

A highly efficient transition-metal-free cyclization reaction for the synthesis of 2,3-diarylimidazo[1,2-α]pyridines is described. A variety of substituted 2-aminopyridines and alkynoates are compatible under the standard conditions. This protocol is marked by the cleavage of a C–C bond and the formation of a new Csp2–Csp2 bond under transition-metal-free conditions.
