Structure-affinity relationship (SAR) and structure-kinetics relationship (SKR) studies were combined to investigate a series of biphenyl anthranilic acid agonists for the HCA2 receptor. In total, 27 compounds were synthesized and twelve of them showed higher affinity than nicotinic acid. Two compounds, 6g (IC50 = 75 nM) and 6z (IC50 = 108 nM) showed a longer residence time profile compared to nicotinic acid, exemplified by their kinetic rate index (KRI) values of 1.31 and 1.23, respectively. The SAR study resulted in the novel 2-F, 4-OH derivative (6x) with an IC50 value of 23 nM as the highest affinity HCA2 agonist of the biphenyl series, although it showed a similar residence time as nicotinic acid. The SAR and SKR data suggest that an early compound selection based on binding kinetics is a promising addition to the lead optimization process.

An effective Pd-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of aryl olefins with Ac2O and formic acid is described. A variety of 2- and 3-arylpropanoic acids can be regioselectively formed by the judicious choice of ligand without the use of toxic CO gas.

The two endocannabinoids, anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), play independent and nonredundant roles in the body. This makes the development of both selective and dual inhibitors of their inactivation an important priority. In this work we report a new series of inhibitors of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). Among them, (±)-oxiran-2-ylmethyl 6-(1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)hexanoate (8) and (2R)-(-)-oxiran-2-ylmethyl(4-benzylphenyl)acetate (30) stand out as potent inhibitors of human recombinant MAGL (IC50 (8) = 4.1 μM; IC 50 (30) = 2.4 μM), rat brain monoacylglycerol hydrolysis (IC 50 (8) = 1.8 μM; IC50 (30) = 0.68 μM), and rat brain FAAH (IC50 (8) = 5.1 μM; IC50 (30) = 0.29 μM). Importantly, and in contrast to the other previously described MAGL inhibitors, these compounds behave as reversible inhibitors either of competitive (8) or noncompetitive nature (30). Hence, they could be useful to explore the therapeutic potential of reversible MAGL inhibitors.
