- Structural modifications of quinolone-3-carboxylic acids with anti-HIV activity
-
A series of new quinolone-3-carboxylic acids featuring a hydroxyl group at C-5 position were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro activity against HIV in C8166 cell culture. All the compounds showed anti-HIV-1 activity with low micromolar to submi

- Quinolone carboxylic acids as a novel monoketo acid class of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase inhibitors
-
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase is a crucial target for antiretroviral drugs, and several keto - enol acid class (often referred to as diketo acid class) inhibitors have clinically exhibited-marked antiretroviral activity. Here, we show the synthesis and the detailed structure - activity relationship of the quinolone carboxylic acids as a novel monoketo acid class of integrase inhibitors. 6-(3-Chloro-2-fluorobenzyl)-1-((2S)-1-hydroxy-3,3- dimethylbutan-2-yl)-7-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid 51, which showed an IC50 of 5.8 nMin the strand transfer assay and an ED50 of 0.6 nMin the antiviral assay, and 6-(3-chloro-2-fluorobenzyl) -1-((2S)-1-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-2-yl)-7-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3- carboxylic acid 49, which had an IC50 of 7.2 nMand an ED50 of 0.9 nM, were the most potent compounds in this class. The monoketo acid 49 was much more potent at inhibiting integrasecatalyzed strand transfer processes than 3′-processing reactions, as is the case with the keto - enol acids. Elvitegravir 49 was chosen as a candidate for further studies and is currently in phase 3 clinical trials.

- Promoting or preventing haloaryllithium isomerizations: Differential basicities and solvent effects as the crucial variables
-
Deprotonation-triggered heavy halogen migrations should become a favorite tool in arene synthesis if their occurrence and outcome could be made predictable. Particularly attractive, though extremely rare, are stop-and-go situations where a first intermediate, generated by metalation, can be trapped at -100 °C, whereas at -75 °C halogen migration gives rise to an isomer. As shown now, one can conveniently produce the initial aryllithium species by halogen/metal interconversion in toluene at -100 °C, under conditions that preclude, halogen migration, and unleash the isomerization process by adding tetrahydrofuran at -75 °C.

- The basicity gradient-driven migration of iodine: Conferring regioflexibility on the substitution of fluoroarenes
-
Six different fluoroarenes were submitted to the same transformations. Direct deprotonation with alkyllithium or lithium dialkylamide as reagents and subsequent carboxylation afforded the acids 1, 6, 11, 16, 18, and 23. If the aryllithium intermediate was trapped with iodine rather than with dry ice, an iodofluoroarene (2, 7, 12, 17, 19, and 24) was formed. This, upon treatment with lithium diisopropylamide, underwent deprotonation and iodine migration. The resulting new aryllithium species was intercepted either by carboxylation, to give the acids 3, 8, 13, 20, and 25, or by neutralization, to produce the iodofluoroarenes 4, 9, 14, 21, and 26. The latter family of compounds was converted into another set of acids 5, 10, 15, 22, and 27 by subsequent treatment with butyllithium or isopropylmagnesium chloride and carbon dioxide.

- Development of a compound-specific ELISA for flufenoxuron and an improved class-specific assay for benzoylphenylurea insect growth regulators
-
This study describes immunochemical approaches for the compound-specific detection of flufenoxuron and class-specific detection of benzoylphenylurea (BPU) insecticides. With the aim of developing a highly specific immunoassay for flufenoxuron, a hapten was synthesized by introducing a spacer arm at the 2,6-difluoro substituent aromatic ring of a flufenoxuron derivative. An IC50 value of 2.4 ppb was obtained for flufenoxuron, with detection of the other four BPUs being more than 4000-fold less sensitive. For the development of class-specific ELISA for five BPUs, a new approach was used for the hapten preparation in which a butanoic acid linkage was introduced into the 3,5- dichlorosubstitued aniline ring of chlorfluazuron analogue. Although the resultant ELISA still exhibited slightly differing cross-reactions for these five BPUs, this method had broader specificity than the previously reported polyclonal antibody-based ELISA. Spike and recovery studies for five BPUs in soil and water indicated that both the compound- and class-specific ELISAs were able to quantitatively detect BPU residues in soil and water. This study also provided additional insights into the influence of the immunizing hapten structure on the specificities of the antibodies obtained.
