MODULATORS OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTORS

Page/Page column 191, (2019/10/15)
This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate and/or prodrug of the compound) that modulate (e.g., agonize or partially agonize or antagonize) glucagon?like peptide?1 receptor ("GLP?1R") and/or the gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor ("GIPR"). The chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a subject (e.g., a human) having a disease, disorder, or condition in which modulation (e.g., agonism, partial agonism or antagonism) of GLP?1R and/or GIPR activities is benficial for the treatment or prevention of the underlying pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, the modulation results in an enhancment of (e.g., an increase in) existing levels (e.g., normal or below normal levels) of GLP?1R and/or GIPR activity (e.g., signaling). In some embodiments, the chemical entities described herein further modulate (e.g., attenuate, uncouple) -arrestin signaling relative to what is observed with the native ligand. This disclosure also features compositions as well as other methods of using and making the said chemical entities.
Catalytic double carbonylation of epoxides to succinic anhydrides: Catalyst discovery, reaction scope, and mechanism

The first catalytic method for the efficient conversion of epoxides to succinic anhydrides via one-pot double carbonylation is reported. This reaction occurs in two stages: first, the epoxide is carbonylated to a β-lactone, and then the β-lactone is subsequently carbonylated to a succinic anhydride. This reaction is made possible by the bimetallic catalyst [(CITPP)Al(THF)2]+[Co(CO)4]- (1; CITPP = meso-tetra(4-chlorophenyl)porphyrinato; THF = tetrahydrofuran), which is highly active and selective for both epoxide and lactone carbonylation, and by the identification of a solvent that facilitates both stages. The catalysis is compatible with substituted epoxides having aliphatic, aromatic, alkene, ether, ester, alcohol, nitrile, and amide functional groups. Disubstituted and enantiomerically pure anhydrides are synthesized from epoxides with excellent retention of stereochemical purity. The mechanism of epoxide double carbonylation with 1 was investigated by in situ IR spectroscopy, which reveals that the two carbonylation stages are sequential and non-overlapping, such that epoxide carbonylation goes to completion before any of the intermediate β-lactone is consumed. The rates of both epoxide and lactone carbonylation are independent of carbon monoxide pressure and are first-order in the concentration of 1. The stages differ in that the rate of epoxide carbonylation is independent of substrate concentration and first-order in donor solvent, whereas the rate of lactone carbonylation is first-order in lactone and inversely dependent on the concentration of donor solvent. The opposite solvent effects and substrate order for these two stages are rationalized in terms of different resting states and rate-determining steps for each carbonylation reaction.
