Characterization of HERG potassium channel inhibition using CoMSiA 3D QSAR and homology modeling approaches
摘要:
A data set consisting of twenty-two sertindole analogues and ten structurally diverse inhibitors, spanning a wide range in potency, was analyzed using CoMSiA. A homology model of HERG was constructed from the crystal structure of the open MthK potassium channel. A complementary relationship between our CoMSiA and homology models is apparent when the long inhibitor axis is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pore, with the tail region pointed toward the selectivity filter. The key elements of the pharmacophore, the CoMSiA and the homology model are: (1) The hydrophobic feature optimally consists of an aromatic group that is capable of engaging in pi-stacking with a Phe656 side chain. Optionally, a second aromatic or hydrophobic group present in some inhibitors may contact an additional Phe656 side chain. (2) The basic nitrogen appears to undergo a pi-cation interaction with Tyr652. (3) The pore diameter (12Angstrom +), and depth of the selectivity loop relative to the intracellular opening, act as constraints on the conformation-dependent inhibitor dimensions.

A palladium-catalyzedregioselectiveC–Hcyanation of heteroarenes was achieved using tert-butyl isocyanide as “CN” source, which provides a new and unique strategy for the preparation of (hetero)aryl nitriles. Indoles, pyrroles, and aromatic rings could be efficiently cyanated through C–Hbondactivation with high regioselectivity.

A metal-free method for the regioselectiveC-3 acetoxylation of the N-substituted indoles with PhI(OAc)2 is described under mild reaction conditions. This method tolerates a broad range of functional groups with moderate to good yields. The π-electron-deficient aryl-substituents on the N-atom of indoles and the acidic reaction medium remarkably favor C-3 acetoxylation.
The ligand-free palladium-catalyzed C3-cyanation of indoles via direct C–H functionalization was achieved. This protocol, utilizing CH3CN as a green and readily available cyanide source, produced the desired products in moderate to good yields through transition-metal-catalyzed C–CN bond cleavage.

A nickel-catalyzed cross coupling of aryl fluorides via C–Fbondactivation has been developed. The alkylation method allows selective replacement of aryl fluorides by alkyl groups and enables the synthesis of diverse and otherwise difficult to access scaffolds in good yields.
