- Mild and efficient addition of carbon nucleophiles to condensed pyridines: influence of structure and limits of applicability
-
[Figure not available: see fulltext.] A number of azolo- and azinopyridines with varying substituents and annulated heterocycles were synthesized and examined in dearomatization reactions with carbon nucleophiles. Depending on the structure, the resulting covalent σ-adducts were formed either under basefree conditions or in Et3N-promoted process to give functionalized condensed dihydropyridines. Quantum-chemical calculations of the global electrophilicity index derived from FMO energies of azolopyridine series were performed to explain reactivity toward neutral and anionic C-nucleophiles. These values may be useful for qualitative prediction of particular reactivity pattern.

- Imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine inhibitors of B-Raf kinase
-
This Letter details the synthesis and evaluation of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines as inhibitors of B-Raf kinase. These compounds bind in a DFG-in, αC-helix out conformation of B-Raf, which is a binding mode associated with significant kinase selectivity. Structure-activity relationship studies involved optimization of the ATP-cleft binding region of these molecules, and led to compound 23, an inhibitor with excellent enzyme/cell potency, and kinase selectivity.

- 5-(N-oxyaza)-7-substituted-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones: Novel, systemically active and broad spectrum antagonists for NMDA/glycine, AMPA, and kainate receptors
-
A group of 5-aza-7-substituted-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones (QXs) and the corresponding 5-(N. oxyaza)-7-substituted QXs were prepared and evaluated as antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptors. The in vitro potency of these QXs was determined by inhibition of [3H]-5,7- dichlorokynurenic acid ([3H]DCKA) binding to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)/glycine receptors, [3H]-(S)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4- isoxazolepropionic acid ([3H]AMPA) binding to AMPA receptors, and [3H]kainate ([3H]KA) binding to KA receptors in rat brain membranes. 5-(N- Oxyaza)-QXs 12a-e all have low micromolar or submicromolar potency for NMDA/glycine receptors and low micromolar potencies for AMPA and KA receptors. QXs 12a-e display 2-12-fold selectivity for NMDA/glycine receptors compared to AMPA receptors, and ~2-fold difference between AMPA and KA potency. In contrast to other QXs that either show high selectivity for NMDA (such as ACEA 1021) or AMPA (such as NBQX) receptors, these molecules are broad spectrum antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptors. 7-Nitro-5-(N- axyaza)-QX (12e) is the most potent inhibitor among 12a-e, having IC50 values of 0.69, 1.3, and 2.4 μM at NMDA, AMPA, and KA receptors, respectively. In functional assays on glutamate receptors expressed in oocytes by rat cerebral cortex poly(A+) RNA, 7-chloro-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12a) and 7-nitro-5(N-oxyaza)-QX (12e) have K(b) values of 0.63 and 0.31 μM for NMDA/glycine receptors, and are 6- and 4-fold selective for NMDA over AMPA receptors, respectively. 5-(N-Oxyaza)-7-substituted-QXs 12a-e all have surprisingly high in vivo potency as anticonvulsants in a mouse maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES) model. 7-Chloro-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12a), 7- bromo-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12b), and 7-methyl-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12c) have ED50 values of 0.82, 0.87, and 0.97 mg/kg iv, respectively. The high in vivo potency of QXs 12a-e is particularly surprising given their low log P values (~ -2.7). Separate studies indicate that QXs 12a and 12e are also active in vive as neuroprotectants and also have antinociceptive activity in animal pain models. In terms of in vivo activity, these 5-(N-oxyaza)-7-substituted- QXs are among the most potent broad spectrum ionotropic glutamate antagonists reported.
