- Development of pH-activatable fluorescent probes for rapid visualization of metastatic tumours and fluorescence-guided surgeryviatopical spraying
-
A series of pH-activatable aza-BODIPY-based fluorescent probes were developed for rapid cancer visualization and real-time fluorescence-guided surgery by harnessing topical spraying. These probes exhibited good water-solubility, a tunable pKafrom 5.0 to 7.9, and stable intense NIR emission at ~725 nm under acidic conditions.AzaB5with a pKavalue of 6.7 was able to rapidly and clearly visualize pulmonary and abdominal metastatic tumours including tiny metastases less than 2 mmviatopical spraying, further improving intraoperative fluorescence-guided resection. We believe thatAzaB5is promising as a powerful tool to rapidly delineate a broad range of malignancies and assist surgical tumour resection.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of phenoxyacetic acid derivatives as novel free fatty acid receptor 1 agonists
-
Free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) is a new potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes because of its role in amplifying glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cell. In the present studies, we identified phenoxyacetic acid derivative (18b) as a potent FFA1 agonist (EC50 = 62.3 nM) based on the structure of phenylpropanoic acid derivative 4p. Moreover, compound 18b could significantly improve oral glucose tolerance in ICR mice and dose-dependently reduced glucose levels in type 2 diabetic C57BL/6 mice without observation of hypoglycemic side effect. Additionally, compound 18b exhibited acceptable PK profiles. In summary, compound 18b with ideal PK profiles exhibited good activity in vitro and in vivo, and might be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

- Fries rearrangement: Scalable synthesis of key fluoro building blocks 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoyl chloride and 1,2-diethoxy-3-fluorobenzene
-
Lewis acid catalyzed Fries rearrangement of 2-fluorophenyl acetate (3) was performed on kg scale. The ortho 5 and para 4 isomers obtained were separated in an industrially feasible way. Compound 4 was then converted into fluorinated building block 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (1) while compound 5 was converted into 1,2-diethoxy-3-fluorobenzene (2) in high yields.

- 67. Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals. Laterally Substituted Phenyl Benzoates Incorporating a trans-1,4-Disubstituted Cyclohexane Ring.
-
About 65 diverse phenyl benzoates incorporating a trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane ring and at least one lateral substituent have been synthesised.The dependence of the liquid-crystal transition temperatures of these materials on various lateral substituents (F, Cl, CN, and Br) in different positions of the esters has been investigated systematically.The influence of up to four F-atoms in various positions of a standard ester has been thoroughly studied and the optimum combination for a broad smectic C mesomorphic range established.In consequence, three homologous series incorporating the 4-alkoxy-2,3-difluorobenzoic-acid moiety were prepared.An additional C=C bond was introduced into the alkyl chain attached to the cyclohexane ring of some of these esters and the resulting modifications of the transition temperatures determined.Three ester series incorporating a lateral substituent and the optically active (+)-(S)-(1-methylphenyl)oxy substituent have also been synthesised, and similar effects have been observed.These materials can be used as important components of commercial chiral smectic C mixtures for electro-optic display device applications.

- Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships among α-Adrenergic Receptor Agonists of the Phenylethanolamine Type
-
Nineteen arylethanolamine derivatives related to norepinephrine were prepared and tested for α-adrenergic stimulant activity.In one series the analogues possess a p-hydroxy function, while the meta position is substituted by methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclohexyl, fluoro, chloro, iodo, carboxy, carbomethoxy, and methylsulfamido groups.The other series is meta hydroxylated with the para position substituted by the same groups.The influence of these groups upon the α-adrenergic activity is discussed, and the compounds are compared to octopamine, normetanephrine,norepinephrine, and norphenylephrine.It has been found that the introduction of an isopropyl, cyclohexyl, and fluoro group in the meta position of octopamine improves its affinity by three, five, and six times, respectively, whereas when these groups are introduced in the para position of norphenylephrine their effects are always detrimental.The most active compound, α-(aminomethyl)-(4-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)methanol (44), has about one-hundreth the affinity and the same intrinsic activity as norepinephrine.
