Rate and Yield Enhancements in Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution Reactions via Mechanochemistry
Andersen, Joel M.,Starbuck, Hunter F.

A variety of nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions were carried out mechanochemically to great advantage. On average, reactions rates were nine-times faster. The corresponding kinetic studies presented provide the clearest head-to-head kinetic comparisons between mechanochemical and conventional systems at identical temperatures. Attempts are provided at classifying the kinetics of one example. Removal of polar, protic solvents from these reactions presents environmental benefits to a reaction class whose kinetics are heavily dependent on such solvents.
Structure-Based Design of a Bromodomain and Extraterminal Domain (BET) Inhibitor Selective for the N-Terminal Bromodomains That Retains an Anti-inflammatory and Antiproliferative Phenotype

The bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) family of epigenetic regulators comprises four proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, BRDT), each containing tandem bromodomains. To date, small molecule inhibitors of these proteins typically bind all eight bromodomains of the family with similar affinity, resulting in a diverse range of biological effects. To enable further understanding of the broad phenotype characteristic of pan-BET inhibition, the development of inhibitors selective for individual, or sets of, bromodomains within the family is required. In this regard, we report the discovery of a potent probe molecule possessing up to 150-fold selectivity for the N-terminal bromodomains (BD1s) over the C-terminal bromodomains (BD2s) of the BETs. Guided by structural information, a specific amino acid difference between BD1 and BD2 domains was targeted for selective interaction with chemical functionality appended to the previously developed I-BET151 scaffold. Data presented herein demonstrate that selective inhibition of BD1 domains is sufficient to drive anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effects.

Background: R132H mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is found in ~75% of low-grade gliomas and secondary glioblastomas as well as in several other types of cancer. More chemotypes of inhibitors of IDH1(R132H) are therefore needed. Objective: The study aimed to develop a new class of IDH1(R132H) inhibitors as potent antitumor agents. Method: A biochemical assay was developed to find inhibitors of IDH1(R132H) mutant enzyme. Chemical synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies were used to find compounds with improved potency. Antitumor activities of selected compounds were evaluated. Results: A series of aromatic sulfonamide compounds was found to be novel, potent inhibitors of IDH1(R132H) with Ki values as low as 0.6 μM. Structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed. Enzyme kinetics studies showed that one compound is a competitive inhibitor against the substrate α-KG and a non-competitive inhibitor against the cofactor NADPH. Several inhibitors were found to have no activity against wild-type IDH1, showing a high selectivity. Two potent inhibitors exhibited strong activity against proliferation of BT142 glioma cells with IDH1 R132H mutation, while these compounds did not significantly affect the growth of glioma cells without IDH1 mutation. Conclusion: This novel series of IDH1(R132H) inhibitors have potential to be further developed for the treatment of glioma with IDH1 mutation.
