Synthesis and evaluation of γ-lactam analogs of PGE2 as EP4 and EP2/EP4 agonists
摘要:
To identify topically effective EP4 agonists and EP2/EP4 dual agonists with excellent subtype selectivity, further optimization of the 16-phenyl omega-chain moiety of the gamma-lactam 5-thia prostaglandin E analog and the 2-mercaptothiazole-4-carboxylic acid analog were undertaken. Rat in vivo evaluation of these newly identified compounds as their poly (lactide-co-glycolide) microsphere formulation, from which sustained release of the test compound is possible, led us to discover compounds that showed efficacy in a rat bone fracture healing model after its topical administration without serious influence on blood pressure and heart rate. A structure-activity relationship study is also presented. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

To develop potent transthyretin (TTR) amyloidogenesis inhibitors that also display high binding selectivity in blood, it proves useful to systematically optimize each of the three substructural elements that comprise a typical inhibitor: the two aryl rings and the linker joining them. In the first study, described herein, structural modifications to one aryl ring were evaluated by screening a library of 2-arylbenzoxazoles bearing thyroid hormone-like aryl substituents on the 2-aryl ring. Several potent and highly selective amyloidogenesis inhibitors were identified that exhibit minimal thyroid hormone nuclear receptor and COX-1 binding. High resolution crystal structures (1.3-1.5 angstrom) of three inhibitors (2f, 4f, and 4d) in complex with TTR were obtained to characterize their binding orientation. Collectively, the results demonstrate that thyroid hormone-like substitution patterns on one aryl ring lead to potent and highly selective TTR amyloidogenesis inhibitors that lack undesirable thyroid hormone receptor or COX-1 binding.

This report presents the oxygenation of C-H bonds via the merger of photocatalysis and Pd catalysis. Herein, we describe the utilization of a photocatalyst to oxidize an organopalladium(II) intermediate to high-valent PdIII or PdIV intermediates, which promotes the formation of C-O bonds. The demonstrated method works efficiently with various directing groups, such as oxime ether and benzothiazole
