- Synthesis of an Azaphosphatriptycene and Its Rhodium Carbonyl Complex
-
A 10-aza-9-phosphatriptycene is accessible on a gram scale, in three laboratory steps from commercially available precursors. Infrared spectroscopy of a rhodium(I) carbonyl complex bearing this ligand reflects the weak σ-donor/strong π-acceptor character of the phosphine; the solid-state structure reveals moderate steric demand. This ligand supports highly active catalysts for the hydroformylation of cyclic alkenes.

- Expansion of first-in-class drug candidates that sequester toxic all-trans-retinal and prevent light-induced retinal degeneration
-
All-trans-retinal, a retinoid metabolite naturally produced upon photoreceptor light activation, is cytotoxic when present at elevated levels in the retina. To lower its toxicity, two experimentally validated methods have been developed involving inhibition of the retinoid cycle and sequestration of excess of all-trans-retinal by drugs containing a primary amine group. We identified the first-in-class drug candidates that transiently sequester this metabolite or slow down its production by inhibiting regeneration of the visual chromophore, 11-cis-retinal. Two enzymes are critical for retinoid recycling in the eye. Lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) is the enzyme that traps vitamin A (all-trans-retinol) from the circulation and photoreceptor cells to produce the esterified substrate for retinoid isomerase (RPE65), which converts all-trans-retinyl ester into 11-cis-retinol. Here we investigated retinylamine and its derivatives to assess their inhibitor/substrate specificities for RPE65 and LRAT, mechanisms of action, potency, retention in the eye, and protection against acute light-induced retinal degeneration in mice. We correlated levels of visual cycle inhibition with retinal protective effects and outlined chemical boundaries for LRAT substrates and RPE65 inhibitors to obtain critical insights into therapeutic properties needed for retinal preservation.

- Hydroformylation and hydroalkylcarbonylation of 3,4-dihydro[2H]pyran catalysed by Co2(CO)8 under syngas conditions
-
In the cobalt-catalysed hydroformylation of 3,4-dihydro[2H]pyran, the influence of different reaction parameters such as time, pressure, triphenylphosphine addition, catalyst and substrate concentration has been investigated. 2-formyl-tetrahydropyran, tetrahydropyran and a hydroalkylcarbonylation product were the main reaction products. The selectivity towards 2-formyl-tetrahydropyran formation is favoured at constant catalyst and substrate concentration. The coordination of the pyran's oxygen to the cobalt atom seems to be an important intermediate for the formation of 2-formyl-tetrahydropyran. Different substrate or catalyst concentrations promote the formation of other reduced products. The addition of triphenylphosphine to the catalyst leads to a less active species, which decreases the yield and promotes the hydroalkylcarbonylation reaction.

- 4,5,6,7-trisubstituted benzoxazolones
-
Certain 6-aryl- or 6-heteroaryl- alkylaminobenzoxazolones, and their pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, are dual inhibitors of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase enzymes, and so are useful as antiallergy and antiinflammatory agents.
