A palladium-catalyzed β-C(sp3)–H silylation of aliphatic ketones with disilanes to afford β-silyl ketones is reported. The aminooxyamide auxiliary is critical for the C–H activation and silylation. The reaction tolerates a number of functional groups and shows good selectivity in silylating β-C(sp3)–H bonds in the company of C(sp2)–H bonds and acidic α-C(sp3)–H bonds. The reaction is scalable, and

Geminal disubstitution at the alkyl chain of γ-aryl ketones significantly influences the efficacy of samarium diiodide induced cyclizations providing significantly higher yields. β,β-Disubstituted aryl ketones 11a―e and γ,γ-disubstituted aryl ketone 14 could be converted into the corresponding hexahydronaphthalene derivatives in good yields. On the other hand, α,α-disubstituted ketone 9 only gave the

-chelating motif-tethered fatty acids as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. One hydroxamate-tethered phenylbutyrate compound, N-hydroxy-4-(4-phenylbutyrylamino)-benzamide (HTPB), displayed nM potency in inhibiting HDAC activity. Exposure of several cancer cell lines to HTPB at sub-μM concentrations showed reduced cell proliferation accompanied by histone hyperacetylation and elevated p21

We have proposed a multi-template approach for drug development, focusing on similar fold structures of proteins, and have effectively generated lead compounds for several drug targets. Modification of these polypharmacological lead compounds is then needed to generate target-selective compounds. In the work presented here, we aimed at separation of the anti-androgen activity and vitamin D activity of previously identified diphenylpentane lead compounds. Based on the determined X-ray crystal structures of androgen receptor and vitamin D receptor, bulky substituents were introduced at the t-butyl group in the lead compounds 2 and 3. As a result of this structural development, we obtained 16c, which exhibits more potent anti-androgen activity (IC(50): 0.13 mu M) than clinically used anti-androgen bicalutamide (IC(50): 0.67 mu M) with 30-fold selectivity over vitamin D activity. This result indicates that lead compounds obtained via the multi-template approach can indeed be structurally modified to generate target-selective compounds. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
