- Inhibition of 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid-induced activation of neutrophils and eosinophils by novel indole oxe receptor antagonists
-
5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is a 5-lipoxygenase product that is a potent granulocyte chemoattractant, which induces the infiltration of eosinophils into human skin when injected intradermally. It could therefore be an important proinflammatory mediator in eosinophilic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, and the OXE receptor, which mediates its actions, is therefore an attractive drug target. Using a structure-based approach in which substituents mimicking the essential polar (C1-C5) and hydrophobic (C15-C20) regions of 5-oxo-ETE were incorporated on an indole scaffold, we identified two potent selective OXE antagonists with IC50 values of about 30 nM. Neither compound displayed agonist activity and both inhibited 5-oxo-ETE-induced chemotaxis and actin polymerization and were relatively resistant to metabolism by rat liver homogenates. The active enantiomers of these racemic antagonists were even more potent, with IC50 values of 10 nM. These selective OXE antagonists could potentially be useful therapeutic agents in allergic diseases such as asthma.

- Synthesis of Indole- and Pyrrole-Fused Seven-Membered Nitrogen Heterocycles via Acid-Base Switchable Cyclization Involving Cleavage of Amide C?N Bonds
-
We report the method for synthesis of indole- and pyrrole-fused seven-membered nitrogen heterocycles by means of acid-base switchable cyclization reactions. The reactions involved cleavage of amide C?N bonds, chemoselective N-1 or C-3 acylation, and 1,4-M

- Amide-Amine Replacement in Indole-2-carboxamides Yields Potent Mycobactericidal Agents with Improved Water Solubility
-
Indolecarboxamides are potent but poorly soluble mycobactericidal agents. Here we found that modifying the incipient scaffold by amide-amine substitution and replacing the indole ring with benzothiophene or benzoselenophene led to striking (10-20-fold) im

- Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Aromatic N-Nucleophilic Addition of Heteroarenes to Ketones
-
The aromatic nitrogen atoms of heteroarylaldehydes are activated by carbene catalysts to react with ketone electrophiles. Multi-functionalized cyclic N,O-acetal products are afforded in good to excellent yields and optical purities. Our reaction involves the formation of an unprecedented aza-fulvene-type acylazolium intermediate. A broad range of N-heteroaromatic aldehydes and electron-deficient ketone substrates works effectively in this transformation. Several of the chiral N,O-acetal products afforded through this protocol exhibit excellent antibacterial activities against Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) and are valuable in the development of novel agrichemicals for plant protection.
