- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines: Discovery of a selective inhibitor of JAK1 JH2 pseudokinase and VPS34
-
A series of novel 3,6-di-substituted or 3-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were prepared via a microwave-assisted approach that generated a broad array of derivatives in good yields (20–93%, ave. = 59%). The straightforward synthesis involved sequential treatment of commercially-available acetonitrile derivatives with DMF-dimethylacetal (120 °C, 20 min), followed by treatment with NH2NH2·HBr (120 °C, 20 min), and 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane or 2-aryl-substituted malondialdehdyes (120 °C, 20 min). Compounds were screened for antimitotic activities against MCF7 breast cancer and/or A2780 ovarian cancer cell lines in vitro. The most active compounds exhibited EC50 values ranging from 0.5 to 4.3 μM, with the 3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-6-[4-(2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethoxy]phenyl analogue (34e) and the 3-(2-fluorophenyl)-6-[4-(2-(4-methylpiperizin-1-yl)ethoxy]phenyl analogue (35a) being two to three fold more active than Compound C (Dorsomorphin) in A2780 and MCF7 assays, respectively. Importantly, a monosubstituted 3-(benzothiazol-2-yl) derivative (13) was equipotent with the more synthetically challenging 3,6-disubstituted derivatives (34a–e and 35a–e), and exhibited a promising and unique selectivity profile when screened against a panel consisting of 403 protein kinases (Kinomescan selectivity score = 0.005, Kd = 0.55 ± 0.055 μM and 0.410 ± 0.20 μM for JAK1 JH2 pseudokinase and VPS34, respectively).

- Application of vinylogous carbamates and vinylogous aminonitriles to the regiospecific synthesis of uniquely functionalized pyrroles and quinolones
-
Pyrroles and quinolones represent core structures, which are routinely found in both natural and synthetic bioactive substances. Consequently, the development of efficient and regiospecific methods for the preparation of such heterocycles with unique functionality is of some importance. We describe herein the regiospecific synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted pyrroles containing polar substituents and such products are prepared from vinylogous carbamates and vinylogous aminonitriles. We also describe the regiospecific synthesis of 3-aryl containing 1,3,6-trisubstituted quinolones from vinylogous carbamates. The use of an amine exchange reaction to prepare precursors for the pyrrole and quinolone forming cyclizations represents a key factor in the strategy.
