A methodology that involves the Pd-catalyzed direct C(sp2)-H bond carbonylation of the C2 position of indole has been introduced for the synthesis of indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalin-6(5H)-ones. The methodology developed herein was used for the synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-ones. The reaction of N-substituted 2-(1H-indol-1-yl)anilines or 2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)anilines and carbon monoxide in the presence of Pd(OCOCF3)2 as a catalyst and Cu(OAc)2 as an oxidant in toluene at 80 °C forms the corresponding quinoxalinones as exclusive products in good yields. The catalytically active C-H activated intermediate Pd complex was isolated and characterized for the first time which on exposure to CO gas in toluene at 80 °C gave the corresponding quinoxalinone derivative. On the basis of isolation of the intermediate, a possible mechanism has been proposed for the C-H activated direct carbonylative annulation of 2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-1-yl)-N,4-dimethylaniline.

The latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) is required for latent replication and persistence of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8. It acts via replicating and tethering the virus episome to the host chromatin and exerts other functions. We conceived a new approach for the discovery of antiviral drugs to inhibit the interaction between LANA and the viral genome. We applied a biophysical screening cascade and identified the first LANA binders from small, structurally diverse compound libraries. Starting from a fragment-sized scaffold, we generated optimized hits via fragment growing using a dedicated fluorescence-polarization-based assay as the structure-activity-relationship driver. We improved compound potency to the double-digit micromolar range. Importantly, we qualified the resulting hit through orthogonal methods employing EMSA, STD-NMR, and MST methodologies. This optimized hit provides an ideal starting point for subsequent hit-to-lead campaigns providing evident target-binding, suitable ligand efficiencies, and favorable physicochemical properties.
