Discovery of Potent and Simplified Piperidinone-Based Inhibitors of the MDM2–p53 Interaction
摘要:
Continued optimization of the N-substituent in the piperidinone series provided potent piperidinone-pyridine inhibitors 6, 7, 14, and 15 with improved pharmacokinetic properties in rats. Reducing structure complexity of the N-alkyl substituent led to the discovery of 23, a potent and simplified inhibitor of MDM2. Compound 23 exhibits excellent pharmacokinetic properties and substantial in vivo antitumor activity in the SJSA-1 osteosarcoma xenograft mouse model.
Rhodium Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 2-Pyridine Ketones
摘要:
Catalyzed by [Rh(COD)Binapine]BF4, the asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-pyridine ketones has been achieved with excellent enantioselectivities (enantiomeric excesses up to 99%) under mild conditions. This method is suitable for various kinds of 2-pyridine ketones and their derivatives. A number of enantiomerically pure chiral 2-pyridine-aryl/alkyl alcohols were prepared through hydrogenation, which can be used directly in organic synthesis.
Synthesis, Structure–Activity Relationships, and Preclinical Evaluation of Heteroaromatic Amides and 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives as 5-HT<sub>4</sub> Receptor Partial Agonists
scaffolds having 5-HT4R pharmacophores were designed and evaluated. Most of the synthesized compounds showed potent in vitro affinities and in vivo efficacies. Upon analysis of focused structure–activityrelationships, compound 4o was identified as a potent 5-HT4R partial agonist with favorable ADME properties and good in vivo efficacy. GR-125487, a selective 5-HT4R antagonist, attenuated the activity

The sp(3)C-H bond functionalisation of 2-pyridyl ethanols upon reaction with alkenes, in the presence of a [RuCl2(arene)]2 catalyst and Cu(OAc)2.H2O, is performed under mild conditions without additional base. This reaction proceeds via a tandem alcohol dehydrogenation/alkylation with alkenes of the resulting ketone at its alpha sp(3)C-H bond.

We herein report a general N-alkylation reaction of lactams with secondary heterobenzylic bromides. This methodology features mild reaction condition, moderate to high product isolation yield, and broad substrate scope. Good chemical and structural tolerance has also been demonstrated by both the secondary heterobenzylic bromides and lactam substrates.

An unprecedented reaction mode of cyanogenbromide has been discovered. Under basic conditions, cyanogenbromide acts as an equivalent of both Br+ and CN− to convert enolizable ketones into the corresponding cyanoepoxides in good yields. This unique reaction mode provides new, one‐pot access to densely substituted cyanoepoxides from easily available ketones (see scheme).
Herein, we report an efficient, tunable system for electrochemical reduction of ketones and phthalimides at room temperature without the need for stoichiometric external reductants. By utilizing NaN3 as the electrolyte and graphite felt as both the cathode and the anode, we were able to selectively reduce the carbonyl groups of the substrates to alcohols, pinacols, or methylene groups by judiciously
