The introduction of P4 substituted 1-methylcyclohexyl groups into Boceprevir®: A change in direction in the search for a second generation HCV NS3 protease inhibitor
摘要:
In the search for a second generation HCV protease inhibitor, molecular modeling studies of the X-ray crystal structure of Boceprevir (R) 1 bound to the NS3 protein suggest that expansion into the S4 pocket could provide additional hydrophobic Van der Waals interactions. Effective replacement of the P4 tertbutyl with a cyclohexylmethyl ligand led to inhibitor 2 with improved enzyme and replicon activities. Subsequent modeling and SAR studies led to the pyridine 38 and sulfone analogues 52 and 53 with vastly improved PK parameters in monkeys, forming a new foundation for further exploration.

Switchable regioselectivity: This study represents the first carbobismuthination of alkenes achieved by the treatment of an alkene with a bismuth halide and a ketene silyl acetal. This reaction is particularly noteworthy in that a change in the type of halogen on a bismuth atom very easily switched the regioselectivity (see scheme).

The coupling reactions of alkyl chlorides with silyl enolates catalyzed by InBr3, and the coupling reactions of alkylethers with silyl enolates catalyzed by the combined Lewis acid of InBr3/Me3SiBr are described. In both reaction systems, various types of silyl enolates were used to give corresponding α-alkylated esters, ketones, carboxylic acids, amides, thioesters, and aldehydes.
描述了烷基氯化物与InBr 3催化的烯醇硅酸酯的偶联反应,以及烷基醚与InBr 3 / Me 3 SiBr的路易斯酸催化的烯醇硅酸酯的偶联反应。在两个反应系统中,都使用了各种类型的甲硅烷基烯酸酯,以生成相应的α-烷基化的酯,酮,羧酸,酰胺,硫代酯和醛。
