- A Dual Modulator of Farnesoid X Receptor and Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase to Counter Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
-
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis arising from Western diet and lifestyle is characterized by accumulation of fat in liver causing inflammation and fibrosis. It evolves as serious health burden with alarming incidence, but there is no satisfying pharmacological therapy to date. Considering the disease's multifactorial nature, modulation of multiple targets might provide superior therapeutic efficacy. In particular, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activation that revealed antisteatotic and antifibrotic effects in clinical trials combined with inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) as anti-inflammatory strategy promises synergies. To exploit this dual concept, we developed agents exerting partial FXR agonism and sEH inhibitory activity. Merging known pharmacophores and systematic exploration of the structure-activity relationship on both targets produced dual modulators with low nanomolar potency. Extensive in vitro characterization confirmed high dual efficacy in cellular context combined with low toxicity, and pilot in vivo data revealed favorable pharmacokinetics as well as engagement on both targets in vivo.

- Benzylic C-H Azidation Using the Zhdankin Reagent and a Copper Photoredox Catalyst
-
An azidation method for C-N bond formation at benzylic C-H positions is described using copper-catalyzed visible light photochemistry and the Zhdankin azidoiodinane reagent. The method is applicable to a wide range of substrates bearing different functional groups and having a primary, secondary, or tertiary benzylic position, and is thought to proceed through a radical chain reaction.

- Copper promoted synthesis of substituted quinolines from benzylic azides and alkynes
-
A novel copper promoted synthesis of substituted quinolines from various benzylic azides and internal alkynes has been demonstrated. The reaction features a broad substrate scope, high product yields and excellent regioselectivity. In contrast to the known two-step process of acid promoted [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction and oxidation, the present methodology allows the synthesis of quinolines in a single step under neutral reaction conditions and can be applied to the synthesis of biologically active 6-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-4-phenylquinoline (antiparasitic agent) and 3,4-diphenylquinolin-2(1H)-one (p38αMAP kinase inhibitor). A plausible reaction mechanism involves rearrangement of benzylic azide to N-arylimine (Schmidt reaction) followed by intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition with internal alkynes.

- Competition between azido cleavage and triplet nitrene formation in azidomethylacetophenones
-
Photolysis of p- and m-azidomethylacetophenone (1a, 1b) in argon-saturated solutions yields predominantly imine 2a, 2b, whereas irradiation of 1a, 1b in oxygen-saturated solutions results in heterocycles 3a, 3b, aldehydes 4a, 4b and nitriles 5a, 5b. Density functional theory calculations place the energy of the first and second excited state of the triplet ketones (T1K and T 2K) in 1a, 1b in close proximity to each other. The triplet transition state for cleaving the CN bond in 1a, 1b to form azido and benzyl radicals 1aB, 1bB is located only 3 kcal mol-1 (1 kcal = 4.184 kJ) above T1K, indicating that azido cleavage is feasible. The calculations place the energy of the triplet azido group (TA) in 1a, 1b ~25 kcal mol-1 below T1K; thus, this process is also easily accessible via energy transfer. Further, the transition state barrier for TA to expel N2 and form triplet nitrenes is less than 1 kcal mol-1 above TA in 1a, 1b. Laser flash photolysis of 1a, 1b reveals the formation of the triplet excited ketones of 1a, 1b, which decay to form benzyl radicals 1aB, 1bB and triplet alkylnitrenes. The triplet ketones and the benzyl radicals are quenched with molecular oxygen at rates close to diffusion, whereas the triplet nitrenes react more slowly with oxygen (~5 × 105 M-1s-1). We conclude that the triplet alkylnitrenes intercept the benzyl radicals to form 2 in argon-saturated solution, whereas the benzyl radicals are trapped to form 4 in oxygen-saturated solution; thus, the triplet nitrenes react with oxygen to form 3.

- Azido-containing aryl β-diketo acid HIV-1 integrase inhibitors
-
Aryl β-diketo acids (ADK) comprise a general class of potent HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors, which can exhibit selective inhibition of strand transfer reactions in extracellular recombinant IN assays and provide potent antiviral effects in HIV-infected cells. Recent studies have shown that polycyclic aryl or aryl rings bearing aryl-containing substituents are components of potent members of this class. Reported herein is the first use of azido functionality as an aryl replacement in β-diketo acid IN inhibitors. The ability of azido-containing inhibitors to exhibit potent inhibition of IN and antiviral protection in HIV-infected cells, renders the azide group of potential value in the further development of ADK-based IN inhibitors.
