Several N1-substituted polyamines containing various spacer units between nitrogen centers were synthesized as their respective HCl salts. The N1-substituents included benzyl, naphthalen-1-ylmethyl, anthracen-9-ylmethyl, and pyren-1-

- [Co(TPP)]-Catalyzed Formation of Substituted Piperidines
-
Radical cyclization via cobalt(III)-carbene radical intermediates is a powerful method for the synthesis of (hetero)cyclic structures. Building on the recently reported synthesis of five-membered N-heterocyclic pyrrolidines catalyzed by CoII porphyrins, the [Co(TPP)]-catalyzed formation of useful six-membered N-heterocyclic piperidines directly from linear aldehydes is presented herein. The piperidines were obtained in overall high yields, with linear alkenes being formed as side products in small amounts. A DFT study was performed to gain a deeper mechanistic understanding of the cobalt(II)-porphyrin-catalyzed formation of pyrrolidines, piperidines, and linear alkenes. The calculations showed that the alkenes are unlikely to be formed through an expected 1,2-hydrogen-atom transfer to the carbene carbon. Instead, the calculations were consistent with a pathway involving benzyl-radical formation followed by radical-rebound ring closure to form the piperidines. Competitive 1,5-hydrogen-atom transfer from the β-position to the benzyl radical explained the formation of linear alkenes as side products.

- Selexipag: An Oral and Selective IP Prostacyclin Receptor Agonist for the Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
-
Prostacyclin controls cardiovascular function via activation of the prostacyclin receptor. Decreased prostacyclin production occurs in several cardiovascular diseases. However, the clinical use of prostacyclin and its analogues is complicated by their chemical and metabolic instability. A medicinal chemistry program searched for novel nonprostanoid prostacyclin receptor agonists not subject to these limitations. A compound with a diphenylpyrazine structural core was synthesized. Metabolic stability and agonist potency were optimized through modification of the linear side chain. Compound 12b (MRE-269, ACT-333679) was identified as a potent and highly selective prostacyclin receptor agonist. Replacement of the terminal carboxyl group with an N-acylsulfonamide group yielded parent compound 26a (selexipag, NS-304, ACT-293987), which is orally active and provides sustained plasma exposure of 12b. Compound 26a was developed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and shown to reduce the risk of the composite morbidity/mortality end point in a phase 3 event-driven clinical trial.

- Acid promoted cyclodehydration of amino alcohols with amide acetal
-
A convenient acid-promoted cyclization protocol for the formation of azaheterocycles from amino alcohols is described. The reaction involves the use of N,N-dimethylacetamide dimethyl acetal (DMADA) as the activating reagent of the hydroxyl group. Using this protocol, pyrrolidines or piperidines with various substituents can be synthesized in good to high yields.

- Efficient, stereodivergent access to 3-piperidinols by traceless P(OEt)3 cyclodehydration
-
A stereodivergent and highly diastereoselective (dr up to >19:1 for both isomers), step economic (5-6 steps), and scalable synthesis (up to 14 g) of cis- and trans-2-substituted 3-piperidinols, the core motif of numerous bioactive compounds, providing efficient access to the NK-1 inhibitor L-733,060 is presented. Additionally, a "traceless" (referring to the simplified byproduct separation) cyclodehydration realizing simple P(OEt)3 as a substitute for PPh3 is developed.

- Synthesis and anti-HIV evaluation of new 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine prodrugs
-
A series of anti-HIV prodrugs possessing various polyaminated side arms have been developed. The incorporation of a N-Boc protected monoamine or diamine side arm into the backbone of the 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine 1 (BCH-189) provided an increase in antiviral potency, which could be several orders magnitude greater than the parent drug (1) depending on the cell culture systems used (MT-4 or MDMs). Twenty six 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine prodrugs which differ from each other by the length, the nature of the 5'-O function and the 5'-O or/and N-4 position on the nucleoside moiety were synthesized. Among this new series of prodrugs, several congeners (12c and 12a) were found to inhibit HIV-1 replication in cell culture with 50% effective concentrations EC50 of 10 and 50 nM respectively, in MT-4 cells. Compound 12c was found more active on infected MDMs cells with 50% effective concentration of 0.01 nM. The synthesis and the antiviral properties of these compounds are discussed.
