- Direct Hydroxylation and Amination of Arenes via Deprotonative Cupration
-
Deprotonative directed ortho cupration of aromatic/heteroaromatic C-H bond and subsequent oxidation with t-BuOOH furnished functionalized phenols in high yields with high regio- and chemoselectivity. DFT calculations revealed that this hydroxylation reaction proceeds via a copper (I → III → I) redox mechanism. Application of this reaction to aromatic C-H amination using BnONH2 efficiently afforded the corresponding primary anilines. These reactions show broad scope and good functional group compatibility. Catalytic versions of these transformations are also demonstrated.

- Regioselective sulfonylation and N- to O-sulfonyl migration of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and analogous thienopyrimidin-4(3H)-ones
-
The sulfonylation of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and related tetrahydrobenzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with mesyl, tosyl, and p-cyanobenzenesulfonyl chloride was studied. A hydrogen substituent at 2-position directed the sulfonyl group to the N-3 position, while alkylsulfanyl or amino substituents led to sulfonylation of the carbonyl oxygen. The latter effect was attributed to steric influence and the positive mesomeric effect of the 2-substituent. An access to N-sulfonylated 2-substituted regioisomers was established. An unexpected 1,3-sulfonyl migration was observed and further analyzed. This process occurred as an intramolecular N- to O-shift as verified by kinetic and crossover experiments.

- One-pot synthesis of 2,1-benzisoxazoles (anthranils) by a stannous chloride-mediated tandem reduction-heterocyclization of 2-nitroacylbenzenes under neutral conditions
-
Classically, 2,1-benzisoxazoles (anthranils) are prepared from 2-nitroacylbenzenes by a reductive heterocyclization reaction with Sn or SnCl2 concentrated HCl. Acid sensitive functionalities are expected to be incompatible with these conditions; milder approaches to the synthesis of 2,1-benzisoxazoles would be welcomed. We demonstrate that SnCl 2·2H2O in a 1:1 mixture of EtOAc/MeOH is capable of mediating the tandem reduction-heterocyclization of a variety of 2-nitroacylbenzenes to their corresponding 2,1-benzisoxazoles in good to excellent yields under essentially neutral conditions. Importantly, several commonly used acid-labile protecting groups, including Boc carbamate, tert-butyl ether, and tert-butyl ester, proved orthogonal to these reaction conditions.

- Rational design of substituted diarylureas: A scaffold for binding to G-quadruplex motifs
-
The design and synthesis of a series of urea-based nonpolycyclic aromatic ligands with alkylaminoanilino side chains as telomeric and genomic G-quadruplex DNA interacting agents are described. Their interactions with quadruplexes have been examined by means of fluorescent resonance energy transfer melting, circular dichroism, and surface plasmon resonance-based assays. These validate the design concept for such urea-based ligands and also show that they have significant selectivity over duplex DNA, as well as for particular G-quadruplexes. The ligand-quadruplex complexes were investigated by computational molecular modeling, providing further information on structure-activity relationships. Preliminary biological studies using short-term cell growth inhibition assays show that some of the ligands have cancer cell selectivity, although they appear to have low potency for intracellular telomeric G-quadruplex structures, suggesting that their cellular targets may be other, possibly oncogene-related quadruplexes.

- Selective urokinase-type plasminogen activator inhibitors. 4. 1-(7-Sulfonamidoisoquinolinyl)guanidines
-
1-Isoquinolinylguanidines were previously disclosed as potent and selective inhibitors of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). Further investigation of this template has revealed that incorporation of a 7-sulfonamide group furnishes a new series of potent and highly selective uPA inhibitors. Potency and selectivity can be achieved with sulfonamides derived from a variety of amines and is further enhanced by the incorporation of sulfonamides derived from amino acids. The binding mode of these 1-isoquinolinylguanidines has been investigated by X-ray cocrystallization studies. uPA inhibitor 26 was selected for further evaluation based on its excellent enzyme potency (Ki 10 nM) and selectivity profile (4000-fold versus tPA and 2700-fold versus plasmin). In vitro, compound 26 is able to inhibit exogenous uPA in human chronic wound fluid (IC50 = 0.89 μM). In vivo, in a porcine acute excisional wound model, following topical delivery, compound 26 is able to penetrate into pig wounds and inhibit exogenous uPA activity with no adverse effect on wound healing parameters. On the basis of this profile, compound 26 (UK-371,804) was selected as a candidate for further preclinical evaluation for the treatment of chronic dermal ulcers.

- Preparation of novel antibacterial agents. Replacement of the central aromatic ring with heterocycles
-
Discovery of novel antibacterial agents is a significant challenge. We have recently reported on our discovery of novel antibacterial agents in which we have rapidly optimized potency utilizing a parallel chemistry approach. These advanced leads suffer from high affinity for human serum albumin (HSA). In an effort to decrease the affinity for HSA we have prepared a series of heterocyclic analogs, which retained antibacterial activity and demonstrated reduced affinity for HSA.

- Synthesis of simple analogues of methyllycaconitine - An efficient method for the preparation of the N-substituted anthranilate pharmacophore
-
The synthesis of several A and AE ring analogues of the alkaloid methyllycaconitine is reported. The key 2-(2″-methylsuccinimido)benzoate ester pharmacophore is introduced using an efficient two step procedure. Esterification of the alcohol precursors with N-(trifluoroacetyl)anthranilic acid under Steglich conditions followed by sodium borohydride mediated cleavage of the trifluoroacetyl group affords the anthranilate esters. Subsequent fusion with methylsuccinic anhydride affords the N-substituted anthranilate derivatives containing the key pharmacophore present in a range of commonly occurring Delphinium and Aconitum alkaloids.

- Substituted N-arylazetidinones, β-lactamases potential inhibitors
-
Two classes of substituted N-aryl azetidinones have been prepared by cyclization of various β-bromopropionanilides. The 7a class possess a carboxylic function in ortho, meta or para of the nitrogen and possibly another alkyl substituent on the aromatic nucleus. In the 7a class, the aromatic nucleus is substituted by a bromomethyl group instead of the alkyl one. Few of these azetidinones show a good affinity for various cell-free β-lactamases preparations, and thus are pretty good competitive inhibitors. Nevertheless, they do not act synergistically with ampicillin on β-lactamase producing bacterial strains. A poor antibacterial activity has been detected for few compounds. The azetidinones 7b which possess a latent electrophilic quinonimine methide function, do not give any progressive (suicide type) inhibition, or inactivation, of the enzymatic activity.
