Structure–activity relationship studies of the lipophilic tail region of sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitors
摘要:
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a ubiquitous, endogenous small molecule that is synthesized by two isoforms of sphingosine kinase (SphK1 and 2). Intervention of the S1P signaling pathway has attracted significant attention because alteration of S1P levels is linked to several disease states including cancer, fibrosis, and sickle cell disease. While intense investigations have focused on developing SphK1 inhibitors, only a limited number of SphK2-selective agents have been reported. Herein, we report our investigations on the structure-activity relationship studies of the lipophilic tail region of SLR080811, a SphK2-selective inhibitor. Our studies demonstrate that the internal phenyl ring is a key structural feature that is essential in the SLR080811 scaffold. Further, we show the dependence of SphK2 activity and selectivity on alkyl tail length, suggesting a larger lipid binding pocket in SphK2 compared to SphK1. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

and -CF(3) groups are compatible. The method also allows for consecutive cross-coupling processes in one pot, as exemplified by the efficient preparation of compound 12, and has been applied to the first synthesis of the cytotoxic marine natural product montipyridine 8. In contrast to the clean reaction of (hetero)aryl chlorides, the corresponding bromides and iodides are prone to a reduction of their

Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling has emerged as a powerful tool for sustainable catalysis. However, by far the most common ligand in iron-catalyzed cross-couplings for preparative and industrial applications is reprotoxic NMP. Herein, we report that cyclic ureas (DMI, DMPU) are efficient and sustainable alternatives to NMP in iron-catalyzedalkylations of aryl chlorides and tosylates with alkyl Grignard
to the more conventional palladium and nickel in the cross‐coupling arena, the major limitation is the necessity for carcinogenic N‐methylpyrrolidone as a co‐solvent in the vast majority of catalytic reactions. Herein, we introduce N‐methylcaprolactam as an efficient, non‐toxic and practical dipolar aprotic solvent for iron‐catalyzed C(sp2)−C(sp3) alkylative cross‐coupling of aryl chlorides and tosylates
The iron-catalyzed C(sp2)–C(sp3) cross-coupling provides a highly economical route to exceedingly valuable alkylated arenes that are widespread in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Herein, we report an operationally-simple protocol for the selective C(sp2)–C(sp3) iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with Grignard reagents at low catalyst loading. A broad range of electronically-varied

conditions. Furthermore, large‐scale cross‐coupling, cross‐coupling of heteroaromatic substrates, and cross‐coupling of challenging aryl tosylates and carbamates mediated by Fe–N‐heterocyclic carbene catalytic systems in eco‐friendly 2‐MeTHF were also carried out. The developed method was applied to the key cross‐coupling in the synthesis of a fibrinolysis inhibitor, further highlighting the potential of 2‐MeTHF
