Potent and Selective Nonpeptide Inhibitors of Caspases 3 and 7
摘要:
5-Dialkylaminosulfonylisatins have been identified as potent, nonpeptide inhibitors of caspases 3 and 7. The most active compound within this series (34) inhibited caspases 3 and 7 in the 2-6 nM range and exhibited approximately 1000-fold selectivity for caspases 3 and 7 versus a panel of five other caspases (1, 2, 4, 6, and 8) and was at least 20-fold more selective versus caspase 9. Sequence alignments of the active site residues of the caspases strongly suggest that the basis of this selectivity is due to binding in the St subsite comprised of residues Tyr204, Trp206, and Phe256 which are unique to caspases 3 and 7. These compounds inhibit apoptosis in three cell-based models: human Jurkat T cells, human chondrocytes, and mouse bone marrow neutrophils.

functional group compatibility, with respect to side chain functionality of the amino acid (e. g. aliphatic and aromatic OH, (hetero)aromatic NH, amide NH, thioether), and the chiral amino acids do not undergo epimerization. The mechanism of the new amidesynthesis has been studied.
abundant alkyl esters to afford amide bonds with exquisite selectivity by acyl C-O bond cleavage. The utility of this process is showcased by a broad scope of the method, including various sensitive functional groups, late-stage modification and the synthesis of drug molecules (>80 examples). Remarkable selectivity towards different functional groups and within different amide and ester electrophiles
酰胺键是化学和生物学中最基本的官能团之一,在许多简化关键药物和工业分子合成的过程中发挥着核心作用。尽管酰胺的合成是学术和工业科学家最常进行的反应之一,但由于该过程不利的动力学和热力学贡献,叔酰胺的直接转酰胺具有挑战性。在此,我们报告了第一种通用的、温和的和高度化学选择性的方法,用于通过非亲核胺的直接酰基 NC 键裂解对未活化的叔酰胺进行转酰胺。这种操作简单的方法是在没有过渡金属的情况下进行的,并且在异常温和的反应条件下进行。在这种情况下,我们进一步描述了大量烷基酯的直接酰胺化,以通过酰基 CO 键裂解提供具有极好的选择性的酰胺键。该方法的广泛应用展示了该过程的实用性,包括各种敏感的官能团、后期修饰和药物分子的合成(> 80 个例子)。观察到对不同官能团以及不同酰胺和酯亲电试剂的显着选择性,这是使用现有方法不可行的。进行了广泛的实验和计算研究,以深入了解高选择性的机制和起源。我们进一步提出了
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of N1-(isoquinolin-5-yl)-N2-phenylpyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxamide derivatives as potent TRPV1 antagonists
Reported herein is the design, synthesis, and pharmacologic evaluation of a class of TRPV1 antagonists constructed on a N1-(isoquinolin-5-yl)-N2-phenylpyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxamide platform that evolved from a 5-aminoisoquinoline urea lead. Advancing the SAR of this series led to the eventual identification of 3b, comprising a p-Br substituted phenyl. In a TRPV1 functional assay, using cells expressing

A series of diamidederivatives containing α-amino acids were designed and synthesized. These compounds were evaluated for their insecticidalactivities against Plutella xylostella, Mythimna separate, Myzus persicae, and Tetranychus cinnabarinus. Most of the title compounds containing an l-phenylglycine skeleton were endowed with good activities at the concentration of 500 mg·L−1. Compounds (R)-A6

The asymmetric lithiation trapping of N-Boc heterocycles using s-BuLi/chiral diamines at temperatures up to −20 °C is reported. Depending on the N-Boc heterocycle, lithiation is accomplished using s-BuLi and (−)-sparteine or the (+)-sparteine surrogate in the temperature range −50 to −20 °C for short reaction times (2–20 min). Subsequent electrophilic trapping or transmetalation–Negishi coupling delivered
