A new process route suitable for the industrial production of BAY2433334 has been developed in this paper, which avoids the patent limitations of the originator company of BAY2433334 to the preparation of BAY2433334. BAY2433334 is obtained from (2)-2-aminobutyric acid by esterification, diazotization, condensation reactions, deacetyl deprotection, activation reactions, and Mitsunobu reactions. This method is simple to operate, and the raw materials are inexpensive and readily available.

As novel heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) inhibitors, N, N'-disubstituted thiourea derivatives were designed and synthesized based on the X-ray structure of the ATPase domain (nucleotide binding domain, NBD). An ATPase activity inhibition assay revealed that these compounds effectively inhibited HSP70 ATPase activity. The results revealed that the compounds 370/371/374/379/380//392/394/397/404/405 and 407 can inhibit the HSP70 ATPase turnover with high percentages of inhibition: 50.

HSP70 is a potential target for tumour treatment. HSP70 plays significant roles in several biological processes, including the regulation of apoptosis. In this study, piperidine derivatives were designed as novel HSP70 inhibitors based on virtual fragment screening performed in Dock 4.
