The molecular chaperone, Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70), is an emerging drug target for neurodegenerative diseases, because of its ability to promote degradation of microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT/tau). Recently, we reported YM-08 as a brain penetrant, allosteric Hsp70 inhibitor, which reduces tau levels. However, the benzothiazole moiety of YM-08 is vulnerable to metabolism by CYP3A4, limiting its further application as a chemical probe. In this manuscript, we designed and synthesized seventeen YM-08 derivatives by systematically introducing halogen atoms to the benzothiazole ring and shifting the position of the heteroatom in a distal pyridine. In microsome assays, we found that compound JG-23 has 12-fold better metabolic stability and it retained the ability to reduce tau levels in two cell-based models. These chemical probes of Hsp70 are expected to be useful tools for studying tau homeostasis.

A general redox-neutral approach into the o-,o′-heteroatom-linked N-(hetero)aryl-imidazole family of heteroaromatics has been developed. New types of heteroatom substituted carbimidoyl nitrenoids are efficiently realised from robust, bench-stable N-(heteroaryl)-pyridinium-N-aminides by formal gold-catalysed [3+2]-dipolar cycloadditions across ynamides. Broad structural variety and functional group tolerance allows rapid access into diverse functionalised scaffolds, as exemplified by the preparation of 8 different heteroaromatic cores.

A series of 2-alkylthio derivatives of hetaryl thiols were synthesized by selective S-alkylation with alkyl halides (bromides and iodides) with ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature. The reaction was found to be generally applicable to hetaryl thiol derivatives with different substituents in the aromatic nucleus and various alkyl halides. The reaction gives high to excellent yields of products with high purity.
