Structural design and synthesis of arylalkynyl amide-type peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)-selective antagonists based on the helix12-folding inhibition hypothesis
摘要:
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) antagonists are candidates for treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis. However, few rational design strategies are currently available. Here, we utilized the helix12 (H12)-folding inhibition hypothesis, in combination with our previously determined X-ray crystal structure of PPAR gamma agonist MEKT-21 (6) complexed with the PPAR gamma ligand-binding domain, to design and develop a potent phenylalkynyl amide-type PPAR gamma antagonist 9i, focusing initially on pinpoint structural modification of the propanoic acid moiety of 6. Since 9i retained very weak, but distinct, PPAR gamma agonist activity, we next modified the distal benzene ring of 9i, aiming to delete the residual PPAR gamma agonist activity while retaining the antagonist activity. Introduction of a chlorine atom at the 2-position of the distal benzene ring afforded 9p, which exhibited potent, PPAR gamma-selective full antagonist activity without detectable agonist activity. We found that 9p stabilized the corepressor PPAR gamma complex and suppressed basal PPAR gamma activity. This compound showed anti-adipogenesis activity at the cellular level. This agonist antagonist switching concept based on the H12-folding inhibition hypothesis should also be applicable for designing other classes of PPAR gamma full antagonists.

An efficient and diversity-oriented synthetic strategy for novel triheterocyclic imidazo-pyrrolo-pyrazine/diazepine/diazocine derivatives is elaborated. The process utilizes a domino four-component Ugi reaction/Michael reaction of imidazole-2-carbaldehyde, propargyl amines, 2-alkynoic acids and isonitriles to deliver functionalized imidazole-pyrrolones, which upon a silver-catalyzed heteroannulation

A method for the directlithiation of terminal alkynes and heterocycles with subsequent carboxylation in a continuous flow format was developed. This method provides carboxylic acids at ambient conditions within less than five seconds with only little excess of the organometallic base and CO2.

A carboncapture and use (CCU) strategy was applied to organicsynthesis. Carbondioxide (CO2) captured directly fromexhaustgas was used for organic transformations as efficiently as hyper‐pure CO2 gasfrom a commercial source, even for highly air‐ and moisture‐sensitive reactions. The CO2 capturing aqueous ethanolamine solution could be recycled continuously without any diminished reaction efficiency
