- From Synthetic Simplified Marine Metabolite Analogues to New Selective Allosteric Inhibitor of Aurora B Kinase
-
Significant inhibition of Aurora B was achieved by the synthesis of simplified fragments of benzosceptrins and oroidin belonging to the marine pyrrole-2-aminoimidazoles metabolites isolated from sponges. Evaluation of kinase inhibition enabled the discovery of a synthetically accessible rigid acetylenic structural analogue EL-228 (1), whose structure could be optimized into the potent CJ2-150 (37). Here we present the synthesis of new inhibitors of Aurora B kinase, which is an important target for cancer therapy through mitosis regulation. The biologically oriented synthesis yielded several nanomolar inhibitors. The optimized compound CJ2-150 (37) showed a non-ATP competitive allosteric mode of action in a mixed-type inhibition for Aurora B kinase. Molecular docking identified a probable binding mode in the allosteric site "F"and highlighted the key interactions with the protein. We describe the improvement of the inhibitory potency and specificity of the novel scaffold as well as the characterization of the mechanism of action.

- Efficient synthesis of an A-B-C-tricycle fragment for a structural model of tolyporphin
-
An efficient stereocontrolled synthesis of an A-B-C-tricycle fragment 7 for a structural model of tolyporphin 3 is described. All the rings were prepared from readily available starting materials. One of the two key steps is a selective ring-opening reaction of the lactone cycle in bicyclolactam-lactone 17 to cyanopyrrolidone 18, which introduces the chirality into synthetic compounds. The other key step is the combination of A ring with B-C-bicycle via a two-time Eschenmoser sulfide contraction. A-B-C-tricycle fragment 7 allows a new approach toward tolypophin compounds and other uroporphinoids.

- A new synthesis of pyrroles
-
The radical reaction between an N-ethylsulfonylenamide and an α-xanthyl ketone gives an intermediate γ-keto imine which spontaneously ring-closes to the pyrrole.

- Thermolysis of Alkyl 2-Azidopenta-2,4-dienoates
-
Treatment of the α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (1), (3), (5), and (7) with ethyl azidoacetate gives the 2-azidopentadienoate esters (2), (4), (6) and (8) which are decomposed in boiling toluene and similar solvents.The dienyl nitrenes so generated undergo competitive electrocyclisation onto the diene to give 2H-pyrroles and insertion into methyl or methylene groups to give dihydropyridines, isolated as the pyridines.Thus azide (2) gives the 2H-pyrrole (9) and the pyridine (10), and azide (4) gives the 2H-pyrrole (13) and the tetrahydroquinoline (12).Thermolyses of the chlorine-containing azides are more complex, however, giving several products in low yields.Thus five products, (11), (15), (16), (17), and (18), were isolated from the azide (6) and a mechanistic pathway (Scheme 4) is proposed for their formation.Decomposition of azide (8) is even more complex, the dihydroindole (25) being the only isolable pure product.This extra complexity results from the varied reaction pathways available to the chloro-2H-pyrrole intermediates.On stronger heating (200 deg C) the 2H-pyrroles (9) and (13) aromatise by shifts to the 1H-pyrroles (11) and (14) respectively.
