- Designing a bifunctional metal-organic framework by tandem post-synthetic modifications; an efficient and recyclable catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
-
A new Cu/Pd bimetallic Cu-MOF-[Pd] was synthesized through covalent, dative and inorganic post-synthetic modifications. In order to achieve the Cu-MOF-[Pd], Zn-MOF (TMU-17-NH2) was initially selected and fabricated by grafting of salicylaldehyde via Schiff-base formation followed by complex formation with Pd(II). Then, the as-synthesis MOF, Zn-MOF-[Pd], was subjected as 3D-template to obtain Cu-MOF-[Pd] by transmetalation process. The Cu-MOF-[Pd] was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and EDS mapping techniques. The feasibility of using Cu-MOF-[Pd] as a highly active recoverable catalyst was confirmed in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in a mixed water/ethanol solvent. The results show that this novel nano-composite could serve as an efficient bimetallic heterogeneous catalyst and reuse at least for 5 times without loss in activity.

- Discovery and biological evaluation of vinylsulfonamide derivatives as highly potent, covalent TEAD autopalmitoylation inhibitors
-
Transcriptional enhancer associated domain family members (TEADs) are the most important downstream effectors that play the pivotal role in the development, regeneration and tissue homeostasis. Recent biochemical studies have demonstrated that TEADs could undergo autopalmitoylation that is indispensable for its function making the lipid-binding pocket an attractive target for chemical intervention. Herein, through structure-based virtual screen and rational medicinal chemistry optimization, we identified DC-TEADin02 as the most potent, selective, covalent TEAD autopalmitoylation inhibitor with the IC50 value of 197 ± 19 nM while it showed minimal effect on TEAD-YAP interaction. Further biochemical counter-screens demonstrate the specific thiol reactivity and selectivity of DC-TEADin02 over the kinase family, lipid-binding proteins and epigenetic targets. Notably, DC-TEADin02 inhibited TEADs transcription activity leading to downregulation of YAP-related downstream gene expression. Taken together, our findings proved the validity of modulating transcriptional output in the Hippo signaling pathway through irreversible chemical interventions of TEADs autopalmitoylation activity, which may serve as a qualified chemical tool for TEADs palmitoylation-related studies in the future.

- Diarylmethanes through an Unprecedented Palladium-Catalyzed C-C Cross-Coupling of 1-(Aryl)methoxy-1 H-Benzotriazoles with Arylboronic Acids
-
1-(Aryl)methoxy-1H-benzotriazoles (ArCH2OBt) are bench-stable reagents that are prepared readily from 1H-benzotriazol-1-yl-4-methylbenzenesulfonate and benzylic alcohols. These compounds, which contain a N-O-C bond, undergo cross-coupling with arylboronic acids by C-O bond scission with catalysts that comprise Pd(OAc)2 and biarylphosphine ligands. Such reactivity of ArCH2OBt derivatives, which lead to diarylmethanes, has not been described previously and constitutes a new activation of benzylic alcohols. With regard to the various ligand-metal complexes that support catalytic activity, it appears that those with smaller "percent buried volumes" (%Vbur) provide better outcomes. This factor has been evaluated in the initial optimization studies and in further reactions with difficult coupling partners. Ligand electronics of the biaryl moiety seem to play a lesser role in this type of reaction. The biscoordinating bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether appears to be suitable to improve the yields of low-yielding reactions. Phosphine fine: 1-(Aryl)methoxy-1H-benzotriazoles (ArCH2OBt), which contain a N-O-C bond, undergo cross-coupling with arylboronic acids by C-O bond scission with catalysts that comprise Pd(OAc)2 and biarylphosphine ligands. Such reactivity of ArCH2OBt derivatives, which lead to diarylmethanes, has not been described previously and constitutes a new activation of benzylic alcohols.

- Affinity of 3-acyl substituted 4-quinolones at the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors
-
The finding that alkyl 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate and N-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives may be high-affinity ligands at the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptor, prompted a study of 3-acyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline (3-acyl-4-quinolones). In general, the affinity of the 3-acyl derivatives was found to be comparable with the 3-carboxylate and the 3-carboxamide derivatives, and certain substituents (e.g., benzyl) in position 6 were again shown to be important. As it is believed that the benzodiazepine binding site is situated between an α- and a γ-subunit in the GABAA receptor, selected compounds were tested on the α1β2γ2s, α2β2γ2s and α3β2γ2s GABAA receptor subtypes. The 3-acyl-4-quinolones display various degrees of selectivity for α1- versus α2- and α3-containing receptors, and high-affinity ligands essentially selective for α1 over α3 were developed.
