- Continuous flow photochemistry as an enabling synthetic technology: Synthesis of substituted-6(5: H)-phenanthridinones for use as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors
-
Methods utilizing continuous flow photochemistry, an enabling synthetic technology, have been developed for the generation of phenanthridinones via an intramolecular photochemical cyclization of 2-chlorobenzamides for the purposes of generating poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. Herein we report 16 examples of a single-step flow photocyclization which produces substituted phenanthridinones in yields up to 99%, while a two-step method leads directly to phenanthridinones from 2-chlorobenzoyl chlorides and anilines via a novel continuous flow amidation/photocyclization protocol. Overall, the flow photocyclization reactions typically progress in good to excellent yields, and in a superior fashion to analogous batch methods, greatly enabling the drug discovery process.

- SAR and lead optimization of an HIV-1 Vif-APOBEC3G axis inhibitor
-
We describe structure-activity relationship and optimization studies of RN-18, an HIV-1 Vif-APOBEC3G axis inhibitor. Targeted modifications of RN-18 ring C, ring B, ring A, bridge A-B, and bridge B-C were performed to identify the crucial structural features, which generated new inhibitors with similar (4g and 4i) and improved (5, 8b, and 11) activities. Two potent water-soluble RN-18 analogues, 17 and 19, are also disclosed, and we describe the results of pharmacological studies with compound 19. The findings described here will be useful in the development of more potent Vif inhibitors and in the design of probes to identify the target protein of RN-18 and its analogues.
