Development of Novel EDG3 Antagonists Using a 3D Database Search and Their Structure−Activity Relationships
摘要:
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (SIP) is an intracellular second messenger and an extracellular mediator through endothelial differentiation gene (EDG) receptors, which are a novel class of G-protein-coupled receptors. Although EDG has attracted much attention because of its various roles, no selective agonists or antagonists have yet been developed. This could account for the delay in clarifying the physiological roles of members of the EDG family. Because precise structural information on EDG receptors is not yet available, pharmacophore models were generated based on structural information for SIP using the rational drug design software Catalyst. Novel antagonists, 2-alkylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids, were retrieved from a three-dimensional database search using the pharmacophore models, and these showed activity for EDG3. On the basis of their nonphosphoric acid structure, more potent antagonists, 2-(m- or p-heptylphenyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, were developed.

α,α-Dideuterio benzyl alcohols are importantbuildingblocks for the synthesis of deuterium-labeled medicines and agrochemicals. We have developed the first general single-electron transfer reductive deuteration of readily commercially available aromatic esters for the synthesis of α,α-dideuterio benzyl alcohols using benign D2O and a mild single-electron donor SmI2. This operationally convenient method

Disclosed is a toner for electrophotography, which has good hue, good light resistance and good electrostatic charge, and is capable of providing images that are free from white spots. The toner for electrophotography exhibits a good performance. Specifically disclosed is a toner for electrophotography, which is characterized by containing at least one metal-containing compound that is represented by general formula (1). (In the formula, R1 represents an alkyl group; R2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a sulfinyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, an arylsulfonyl group, an acyl group, a halogen atom or a cyano group; and R3 represents a group that has 9 or more carbon atoms and an aromatic hydrocarbon structure.)
3-Diphenylphosphino-2-(diphenylphoshino)methyl-2-methylpropyl acetate acted as an efficient ligand for a Rh catalyst, achieving cross-coupling between arylzinc compounds bearing electron-withdrawing groups and alkyl electrophiles. The beneficial effect of the tripodal ligand and such aryl nucleophiles was discussed with regard to the specificity of the Rh catalysis.
