Pharmacophore-based design of novel 3-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione subtypes as inhibitors of HIV reverse transcriptase-associated RNase H: Tolerance of a nonflexible linker
摘要:
The pharmacophore of active site inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT)-associated RNase H typically entails a flexible linker connecting the chelating core and the hydrophobic aromatics. We report herein that novel 3-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (HPD) subtypes with a nonflexible C-6 carbonyl linkage exhibited potent and selective biochemical inhibitory profiles with strong RNase H inhibition at low nM, weak to moderate integrase strand transfer (INST) inhibition at low mu M, and no to marginal RT polymerase (pol) inhibition up to 10 mu M. A few analogues also demonstrated significant antiviral activity without cytotoxicity. The overall inhibitory profile is comparable to or better than that of previous HPD subtypes with a flexible C-6 linker, suggesting that the nonflexible carbonyl linker can be tolerated in the design of novel HIV RNase H active site inhibitors.

Reaction conditions for the Ni(COD)(2)/PCy3 catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl neopentylglycolboronates with aryl mesylates were developed. By using optimized reaction conditions, Ni(COD)(2)/PCy3 was shown to be a versatile catalyst for the cross-coupling of a diversity of aryl neopentylglycolboronates with aryl and heteroaryl mesylates and sulfamates containing both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents in their para, ortho, and meta positions in THF at room temperature. This Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl neopentylglycolboronates is also effective for the synthesis of heterobiaryls and biaryls containing electrophilic functionalities sensitive to organolithium and organomagnesium derivatives. In combination with the recently developed Ni-catalyzed neopentylglycolborylation, all Ni-catalyzed routes to functional biaryls and heterobiaryls are now easily accessible.
