Rational Design of 4-Aryl-1,2,3-Triazoles for Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 Inhibition
摘要:
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an important therapeutic target treatment of diseases such as cancer that involve pathological immune escape. Starting from the scaffold of our previously discovered IDO1 inhibitor 4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole, we used computational structure-based methods to design more potent ligands. This approach yielded highly efficient low molecular weight inhibitors, the most active being of nanomolar potency both in an enzymatic and in a cellular assay, while showing no cellular toxicity and a high selectivity for IDO1 over tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO). A quantitative structure-activity relationship based on the electrostatic ligand-protein interactions in the docked binding modes and on the quantum chemically derived charges of the triazole ring demonstrated a good explanatory power for the observed activities.
A Guide to Sonogashira Cross-Coupling Reactions: The Influence of Substituents in Aryl Bromides, Acetylenes, and Phosphines
摘要:
The conversion time data for 168 different Pd/Cu-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of five arylacetylenes (phenylacetylene; 1-ethynyl-2-ethylbenzene; 1-ethynyl-2,4,6-R-3-benzene (R = Me, Et, i-Pr)) and Me3SiCCH with seven aryl bromides (three 2-R-bromobenzenes (R = Me, Et, i-Pr); 2,6-Me-2-bromobenzene and three 2,4,6-R-3-bromobenzenes (R = Me, Et, i-Pr)) with four different phosphines (P-t-Bu-3, t-Bu2PCy, t-BuPCy2, PCy3) were determined using quantitative gas chromatography. The stereoelectronic properties of the substituents in the aryl bromides, acetylenes, and phosphines were correlated with the performance in Sonogashira reactions. It was found that the nature of the most active Pd/PR3 complex for a Sonogashira transformation is primarily determined by the steric bulk of the acetylene; ideal catalysts are: Pd/P-t-Bu-3 or Pd/t-Bu2PCy for sterically undemanding phenylacetylene, Pd/t-BuPCy2 for 2- and 2,6-substituted arylacetylenes or Me3SiCCH and Pd/PCy3 for extremely bulky acetylenes and aryl bromides. Electron-rich and sterically demanding aryl bromides with substituents in the 2- or the 2,6-position require larger amounts of catalyst than 4-substituted aryl bromides. The synthesis of tolanes with bulky groups at one of the two aryl rings is best done by placing the steric bulk at the arylacetylene, which is also the best place for electron-withdrawing substituents.

:An efficient method for the Sonogashiracouplingreaction between aryl halides and terminalalkynes has been developed. The reaction was performed in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF4]) under microwave irradiation. High yields ofproducts were obtained in a very short reaction time. Moreover, the medium and catalyst could berecovered and reused three times without

Coupling reactions using Pd(PPh3)(4) were investigated with a number of electron donating and electron withdrawing substituents. High yields were obtained with both types of substituents. In competitive reactions the electron-withdrawing group -NO2 reacted preferentially over the electron donating groups. When the starting halides were converted to Grignard reagents, high yields were obtained for some hindered electron-withdrawing groups. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
