(Figure presented) A conceptually new one-pot strategy for the synthesis of protected substituted piperazines via the addition of Grignard reagents to pyrazine N-oxides is presented. This strategy is high yielding (33-91% over three steps), step-efficient, and fast. The synthesized N,N-diprotected piperazines are convenient to handle and allow for orthogonal deprotection at either nitrogen for sel

We report the discovery and initial characterization of a novel class of selective NPFF2 agonists. HTS screening using R-SAT, a whole cell based functional assay, identified a class of aryliminoguanidines as NPFF1 and NPFF2 ligands. Subsequent optimization led to molecules exhibiting selective NPFF2 agonistic activity. Systemic administration showed that selective NPFF2 agonists (1 and 3) are acti

Herein we describe the discovery of ACP-105 (1), a novel and potent nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) with partial agonist activity relative to the natural androgen testosterone. Compound 1 was developed from a series of compounds found in a HTS screen using the receptor selection and amplification technology (R-SAT). In vivo, 1 improved anabolic parameters in a 2-week chro

(formula presented) Temporary tethering using aluminum or zinc in Diels-Alder reactions made possible the use of otherwise "noncompatible" combinations of dienes and dienophiles, resulting in the one-step formation of substituted cyclohexene 1,2-bis-methanols. Excellent regioselectivity and also significant stereoselectivity were obtained.

(Matrix Presented) A new one-pot procedure for the synthesis of substituted pyrrolidine derivatives with commercially available cyclopropyl ketones, aldehydes, and amines by a metal iodide promoted three-component reaction was developed.

(equation presented) The synthesis of α-substituted α,β-enones by a new metal iodide-promoted one-pot three-component reaction involving commercially available cyclopropyl ketones, aldehydes, and secondary amines followed by base treatment is described.

(Matrix presented) A combinatorial scaffolding procedure for the synthesis and spatial arrangement of tripartite structures was developed.

Practical conditions for the synthesis of 4-substituted N-protected piperidines through CuCN·2LiBr-catalyzed organozinc additions to 1-acylpyridinium salts and subsequent hydrogen-transfer hydrogenation have been established. The reaction sequence is performed at room temperature and provides 4-substituted N-protected piperidines in excellent overall yields without the isolation of intermediate di

Proteinase activated receptor-2 plays a crucial role in a wide variety of conditions with a strong inflammatory component. We present the discovery and characterization of two structurally different, potent, selective, and metabolically stable small-molecule PAR-2 agonists. These ligands may be useful as pharmacological tools for elucidating the complex physiological role of the PAR-2 receptors as

We recently discovered the isoform selective RARβ2 ligand 4′-octyl-4-biphenylcarboxylic acid (3, AC-55649). Although 3 is highly potent at RARβ2 and displays excellent selectivity, solubility issues make it unsuitable for drug development. Herein we describe the exploration of the SAR in a biphenyl and a phenylthiazole series of analogues of 3. This ultimately led to the design of 28, a novel, ora

4′-Octyl-4-biphenylcarboxylic acid (1g, AC-55649) was identified as a highly isoform-selective agonist at the human RARβ2 receptor in a functional intact cell-based screening assay. The subsequent hit to lead optimization transformed the lipophilic, poorly soluble hit into a more potent and orally available compound (2, AC-261066) with retained β2 selectivity and greatly improved physiochemical pr

A general, high yielding rapid iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between Grignard reagents and imidoyl chlorides is described. These reactions are typically completed within 5 min, resulting in high yields of 71-96% using 5% iron catalyst in a THF-NMP solvent mixture. Functionalized imidoyl chlorides (e.g., R = CO2Me) gave excellent yields (89%).

A class of small molecules displaying comparable activities with peptide ligands BAM22 and corticostatin-14 at both the human and rhesus monkey MrgX1 and MrgX2 receptors, respectively, was discovered. A comparative study to compare solid-phase and solution-phase chemistries for the efficient synthesis of the active class, tetracyclic benzimidazoles, was undertaken. The solid-phase chemistry was fo

Reactivity N - Own: Pyridine N-oxides can be used for the complete regio- and stereoselective synthesis of trans-substituted piperidines. The sequential addition of Grignard reagents and aldehydes or ketones to pyridine N-oxides yields a complete regio- and stereoselective trans 2,3- addition reaction in high yields, and the substituted 2,3-dihydropyridine N-oxide can be reduced to form 2,3-trans-

Government and public agencies in Sweden have promoted the expansion of eHealth. The strategy behind this effort is to increase quality of care, efficiency, patient empowerment and patient safety, and one of the most important civic eHealth services is patient online access to electronic health records (EHR). By 2017, all of Sweden’s inhabitants will be able to access their EHR from somatic care t

A novel class of CB1 inverse agonists was discovered. To efficiently establish structure-activity relationships (SARs), new synthetic methodologies amenable for parallel synthesis were developed. The compounds were evaluated in a mammalian cell-based functional assay and in radioligand binding assays expressing recombinant human cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2). In general, all of the compounds

We discovered structurally novel human calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) allosteric agonists and compared their pharmacology to phenylalkylamine calcimimetics. 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanol (AC-265347) activated CaSR signaling in cellular proliferation and phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis assays with potencies of 30 and 10 nM, respectively. (S)-1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2,4-di

The primary function of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) in complex with their activating cyclin partners, is to promote mitotic division in somatic cells. This canonical cell cycle-associated activity is also crucial for fertility as it allows the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells within the reproductive organs to generate meiotically competent cells. Intriguingly several CDKs exhibi

In this perspective we discuss the recent developments of stereoselective synthesis of substituted pyridines, piperidines, and piperazines from cheap and commercially readily available starting materials. Pyridine N-oxides and pyrazine N-oxides are reacted with alkyl, aryl, alkynyl and vinyl Grignard reagents to give a diverse set of heterocycles in high yields. Optically active substituted pipera

An efficient synthetic strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of a hexahydrodibenzofuran core structure, with a quaternary stereogenic center, emerges by employing a chiral reduction using Corey's (S)-Me-CBS-oxazaborolidine reagent followed by a Mitsunobu reaction to set the stereochemistry. A Pd-mediated intramolecular Heck reaction concludes the tricyclic core structure. Finally, a Pd/C catalyzed
