- Characteristic Hydrogen Bonding Observed in the Crystals of Aromatic Sulfonamides: 1D Chain Assembly of Molecules and Chiral Discrimination on Crystallization
-
N-Phenylbenzenesulfonamides exist preferentially in (+)- or (-)-synclinal conformations, which place the aromatic rings at both ends in the same direction with a twist. We have systematically analyzed the crystal structure of secondary aromatic sulfonamides bearing methyl, ethyl, and/or methoxy groups on the benzene rings. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the sulfonamide protons and sulfonyl oxygens was observed in 81 out of 85 crystals. The intermolecular hydrogen-bonding patterns could be classified into four types, i.e. Dimeric, Zigzag, Helical, and Straight patterns, with retention of the synclinal conformation of the sulfonamide moiety. We investigated the relationship between the hydrogen-bonding pattern and the proportion of the compounds that show chiral crystallization. On the basis of our classification of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of aromatic sulfonamides, the crystals with Dimeric and Zigzag patterns, which both have enantiomeric synclinal conformers, intrinsically become achiral, except for kryptoracemates. In contrast, a high proportion of compounds with Helical or Straight patterns in the crystals showed chiral crystallization. Our classification is useful for discussion regarding the chirality of molecular assemblies, on the basis of the conformational chirality of the molecules in the crystal.

- Identification of diarylsulfonamides as agonists of the free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4/GPR120)
-
The exploration of a diarylsulfonamide series of free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4/GPR120) agonists is described. This work led to the identification of selective FFA4 agonist 8 (GSK137647A) and selective FFA4 antagonist 39. The in vitro profile of compounds 8 and 39 is presented herein.
