Synthesis and SAR studies of novel aryl triazoles as gamma secretase modulators (GSMs) are presented in this communication. Starting from our aryl triazole leads, optimization studies were continued and the series progressed towards novel amides and lactams. Triazole 57 was identified as the most potent analog in this series, displaying single-digit nanomolar A beta 42 IC50 in cell-based assays and reduced affinity for the hERG channel.

Photoinduced and <i>N</i>-Bromosuccinimide-Mediated Cyclization of 2-Azido-<i>N</i>-phenylacetamides
An efficient synthesis of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones or spiro[cyclohexene-1,2'-imidazol]-4'-cones has been achieved in moderate to high yields by the visible light-induced and N-bromosuccinimide-mediated cyclization reaction of 2-azido-N-phenylacetamides at ambient temperature. Both the regioselectivity and the speed of cyclization are affected by the substituents attached to the phenyl ring. For example, quinoxalin-2-ones are produced as the main products when the substrates bear electron-withdrawing groups at the para-position of the phenyl ring; in contrast, spiro[cyclohexene-1,2'-imidazol]-4'cones are obtained as the main products when the substrates bear electron-donating groups at the para-position.
