We have identified a series of spirocyclic furan and pyrrolidine inhibitors of Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases. The most potent analogue 1b showed IC50=5 nM (E. faecalis PheRS) and IC50=2 nM (S. aureus PheRS) with high selectivity over the human enzyme. The crystal X-ray structure of analogue 1b was determined.

Eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactone isoalantolactone 1 is of great interest due to its availability, biological activity and synthetic application. Respective series of original spirocyclic (11S,5') (1,2,3-triazoline-eudesma-4,15-enolides) and (11S)-aziridine-eudesma-4,15-enolides were efficiently synthesized via a chemoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of organic azides to the exocyclic double bond of the lactone ring of isoalantolactone or 13E-(aryl)isoalantolactones by heating in DMF or toluene. The thermal reactions of isoalantolactone with benzyl azide, 2-azidoethanol, or n-butyl azide in 2-methoxyethanol afforded 13-(alkyamino)isoalantolactones formed as a mixture of (Z) and (E)-isomers.

Ferric chloride mediated dearomative spirocyclization of biaryl ynones for the synthesis of new series of densely functionalized 3,3-spiroindanone derivatives has been reported. This study is the first to describe the regioselective synthesis of a five-membered ring from biaryl ynones. The scope of the reaction is broad and the spirocyclic products were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 87%) and with high stereoselectivities.

A series of HaloTag ligands that incorporate near-infrared (NIR)-emissive phospha-rhodamine (POR) dyes have been developed. The PORs that contain dealkylated amino groups exhibit a hypsochromic shift in their absorption and emission wavelengths. Subsequent refinement of the POR spirocyclization equilibrium significantly enhanced membrane permeability, thereby leading to a substantial reduction in the time necessary for labelling.

A series of novel spirocyclic α-proline building blocks with a spiro conjunction in position 3 of the pyrrolidine ring was prepared to employ two convenient and practical synthetic approaches. Both alternative routes utilize simple and readily available starting materials─cyclic ketones and esters─and comprise 6 and 7 steps, respectively. The methodologies feature distinct advantages, using routine organic chemistry transformations, and are suitable for producing multigram amounts of the target prolines.

We synthesized and evaluated a series of derivatives based on the pyrimidine-2,4-diamine scaffold as potential JNK1 inhibitors, incorporating bridging rings and spirocyclic modifications to enhance their inhibitory activity. These compounds were biologically assessed through JNK enzyme inhibition assays and Western Blot analysis. Compounds 13, 14 and 19 demonstrated significant inhibitory activity at both the enzyme and cellular level compared to the lead compound 1 and clinical candidate CC-90001.
