The invention provides inhibitors of a sterol C14-demethylase, a new series of 4- aminopyridyl-based lead inhibitors targeting Trypanosoma cruzi CYP51 (TcCYP51) developed using structure-based drug design as well as structure -property relationship (SPR) analyses. The screening hit starting point, LP 10 (KD < 42 nM; EC50 of 0.65 μΜ), has been optimized to give the potential leads that have low nanomolar binding affinity to TcCYP51 and significant activity against T. cruzi amastigotes cultured in human myoblasts. Many of the optimized compounds have improved microsome stability, and most are selective against the T. cruzi CYP51 relative to human CYPs 1A2, 2D6 and 3A4 (<50% inhibition at 1 μΜ). A rationale for the improvement of microsome stability and selectivity of inhibitors against human metabolic CYP enzymes is presented. In addition, the binding mode of several compounds of the invention with the T. brucei CYP51 (TbCYP51) ortholog has been characterized by x-ray structure analysis. Orally active compounds and their cyclodextrin complexes have been shown to be effective against Chagas-infected mice.

The application of piezoelectricity for the generation of trifluoromethyl (CF3) radicals is reported together with the development of a method for the mechanochemical C−H trifluoromethylation of aromatic compounds. As compared to conventional solution‐based approaches, this mechanoredox C−H trifluoromethylation enables cleaner and more sustainable access to a wide range of trifluoromethylated N‐heterocycles
A simple protocol for performing chromium-catalyzed highly diastereoselective alkylations of arylmagnesium halides with cyclohexyl iodides at ambient temperature has been developed. Furthermore, this ligand-free CrCl2 enables efficient electrophilic alkenylations of primary, secondary and tetiary alkylmagnesium halides with readily available alkenyl acetates. Moreover, this chemoselective C‒C coupling
4-Aryl-3-bromo-2(5H)-furanones have been selectively synthesized in satisfactory yields by treatment of easily available 3,4-dibromo-2(5H)-furanone either with arylboronic acids in the presence of Ag2O and a catalytic amount of PdCl2(MeCN)2 or with aryl(trialkyl)stannanes in the presence of a catalyst precursor consisting of AsPh3 and a Pd(II) or a Pd(0) compound. These monobromo derivatives have been

of secondaryalkyl‐substituted aryl and heteroaryl chlorides challenge both selectivity and functional group tolerance. This contribution describes the use of statistical design of experiments to develop an effective procedure for the preparation of isopropyl‐substituted (hetero)arenes with minimal isopropyl to n‐propyl isomerization. The reaction tolerates electronically diverse aryl chloride coupling
