Discovery of a Novel Class of Potent HCV NS4B Inhibitors: SAR Studies on Piperazinone Derivatives
摘要:
HTS screening identified compound 2a (piper-azinone derivative) as a low micromolar HCV genotype 1 (GT-1) inhibitor. Resistance mapping studies suggested that this piperazinone chemotype targets the HCV nonstructural protein NS4B. Extensive SAR studies were performed around 2a and the amide function and the C-3/C-6 cis stereochemistry of the piperazinone core were essential for HCV activity. A 10-fold increase in GT-1 potency was observed when the chiral phenylcyclopropyl amide side chain of 2a was replaced with p-fluorophenylisoxazole-carbonyl moiety (67). Replacing the C-6 nonpolar hydrophobic moiety of 67 with a phenyl moiety (95) did not diminish the GT-1 potency. A heterocyclic thiophene moiety (103) and an isoxazole moiety (108) were incorporated as isosteric replacements for the C-6 phenyl moiety (95), resulting in significant improvement in GT-1b and la potency. However, the piperazonone class of compounds lacks GT-2 activity and, consequently, were not pursued further into development.

improved substrate specificity toward phenylalaninamide was obtained by directed evolution. The mutant ACL racemase and thermostable mutant D-amino acid amidase (DaaA) from Ochrobactrum anthropi SV3 co-expressed in Escherichia coli (pACLmut/pDBFB40) were utilized for synthesis of (R)-phenylalanine and non-natural (R)-phenylalanine derivatives (4-OH, 4-F, 3-F, and 2-F-Phe) by dynamickinetic resolution

A highly active and enantioselective titanium-catalyzed cyanation of imines at roomtemperature is described. The catalyst used is a partially hydrolyzed titanium alkoxide (PHTA) precatalyst together with a readily available N-salicyl-β-aminoalcohol ligand. Up to 98% ee was obtained with quantitative yields in 15 min of reaction time using 5 mol % of the catalyst. Various N-protecting groups such as
