- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-ylethynyl)-2-methylbenzamides as potent and selective pan-tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors
-
A series of 3-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-ylethynyl)-2-methylbenzamides was designed and synthesized as new tropomyosin receptor kinases (Trks) inhibitors by utilizing a structure-guided optimization strategy. One of the most potent compounds 9o suppressed TrkA/B/C with IC50 values of 2.65, 10.47 and 2.95 nM, respectively. The compound dose-dependently inhibited brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-mediated TrkB activation and suppressed migration and invasion of SH-SY5Y-TrkB neuroblastoma cells expressing high level of TrkB. Inhibitor 9o also inhibited the proliferation of SH-SY5Y-TrkB cells with an IC50 value of 58 nM, which was comparable to that of an US FDA recently approved drug LOXO-101. Compound 9o may serve as a new lead compound for further anti-cancer drug discovery.

- Reevaluating the Substrate Specificity of the L-Type Amino Acid Transporter (LAT1)
-
The L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, SLC7A5) transports essential amino acids across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and into cancer cells. To utilize LAT1 for drug delivery, potent amino acid promoieties are desired, as prodrugs must compete with millimolar concentrations of endogenous amino acids. To better understand ligand-transporter interactions that could improve potency, we developed structural LAT1 models to guide the design of substituted analogues of phenylalanine and histidine. Furthermore, we evaluated the structure-activity relationship (SAR) for both enantiomers of naturally occurring LAT1 substrates. Analogues were tested in cis-inhibition and trans-stimulation cell assays to determine potency and uptake rate. Surprisingly, LAT1 can transport amino acid-like substrates with wide-ranging polarities including those containing ionizable substituents. Additionally, the rate of LAT1 transport was generally nonstereoselective even though enantiomers likely exhibit different binding modes. Our findings have broad implications to the development of new treatments for brain disorders and cancer.

- Meta halogenation of 1,3-disubstituted arenes via iridium-catalyzed arene borylation
-
We report the meta halogenation of 1,3-disubstituted arenes to form 3,5-disubstituted aryl bromides and chlorides by using iridium-catalyzed arene borylation chemistry. Iridium-catalyzed borylation of arenes with B2pin2, followed by reaction of the boronic ester with copper(II) bromide or chloride converts arylboronic esters to the corresponding aryl halides. A variety of arenes containing alkoxy, alkyl, halogen, nitrile, ester, amide, and pivaloyl and TIPS-protected alcohols were converted to the corresponding 3,5-disubstituted aryl bromides and chlorides in yields ranging from 46% to 85%. In addition, 2,6-disubstituted and 3-substituted pyridines were converted to the 4-halo and 5-halopyridines, respectively. The utility of this methodology was demonstrated by the formal conversion of nicotine to Altinicline in three steps with an overall yield of 61% using meta bromination of nicotine as the first step.
