We report the discovery of a novel aminopyrazine series of PI3Kα inhibitors, designed by hybridizing two known scaffolds of PI3K inhibitors. We describe the progress achieved from the first compounds plagued with poor general kinase selectivity to compounds showing high selectivity for PI3Kα over PI3Kβ and excellent general kinase selectivity. This effort culminated with the identification of compound 5 displaying high potency and selectivity, and suitable physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties for oral administration.

Starting from potent inhibitors of PI3Kα having poor general kinase selectivity (e.g., 1 and 2), optimisation of this series led to the identification of 25, a potent inhibitor of PI3Kα (wild type, E545K and H1047R mutations) and PI3Kδ, selective versus PI3Kβ and PI3Kγ, with excellent general kinase selectivity.

Starting from compound 1, a potent PI3Kα inhibitor having poor general kinase selectivity, we used structural data and modelling to identify key exploitable differences between PI3Kα and the other kinases. This approach led us to design chemical modifications of the central pyrazole, which solved the poor kinase selectivity seen as a strong liability for the initial compound 1. Amongst the modifications explored, a 1,3,4-triazole ring (as in compound 4) as a replacement of the initial pyrazole provided good potency against PI3Kα, with excellent kinase selectivity.

Potent antagonists of the integrin α(5)β(1), which are RGD mimetics built from tyrosine are described. This letter describes the optimization of in vitro potency obtained by variation of two parts of the molecule, the basic group and the linker between the basic group and the phenyl central core.

A general study on the conjugate addition of anionic nucleophiles to alkylidene bis(sulfoxides) is presented. Alkoxides gave high yielding and diastereoselective addition reactions, which could be influenced by solvents and the counteranion. Azides provided an interesting entry into sulfinyl-substituted triazoles.

A new class of small-molecule GnRH antagonists, the thieno[2,3-b]pyrroles, was designed. Herein, the synthesis and structure-activity relationships are described. Substitution at the C4 position was investigated; during this study, it was observed that introducing piperazines and piperidines improved the physical properties of the compounds while retaining good in vitro potency.

The structure-activity relationship of a novel subseries of 4-anilinoquinazoline EGFR inhibitors substituted at the C-6 position with carbon-linked side chains has been investigated. This exploration has led to the discovery of novel aminomethyl carboxamides with good biological, pharmacokinetic and physical properties.

The development of new synthetic methodology for the construction of trans-fused polycyclic ethers has stimulated significant attention since the late 1980s. This review provides an update on work reported between 2000 and 2002, emphasizing the development of iterative, convergent and cascade/two-directional cyclization strategies that provide direct and efficient approaches for the assembly of these complex structures. Recent developments in synthetic methodology have provided the tools necessary to accomplish the first total syntheses of ciguatoxin CTX3C and gambierol.

Alkylidene-substituted cyclopentane derivatives are formed in high enantiomeric purity by the reaction shown below. A highly diastereoselective radical cyclization is followed by elimination of a β-sulfinyl radical. Interestingly, the addition of the Lewis acid methylaluminum bis(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxide) (MAD) totally reverses the stereochemical outcome of the reaction.
