Structure-activity relationships for the MDM2-p53 inhibitory activity of a series of A-ring substituted 2-N-benzyl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopropyl)methoxy)isoindolinones have been investigated, giving rise to compounds with improved potency over their unsubstituted counterparts. Isoindolinone A-ring substitution with a 4-chloro group for the 4-nitrobenzyl, 4-bromobenzyl and 4-cyanobenzyl derivatives (10a-c) and substitution with a 6-tert-butyl group for the 4-nitrobenzyl derivative (10j) were found to confer additional potency. Resolution of the enantiomers of 10a showed that potent MDM2-p53 activity resided in the (-)-enantiomer ((-)-10a; IC(50)=44 ± 6 nM). The cellular activity of key compounds has been examined in cell lines with defined p53 and MDM2 status. Compounds 10a and (-)-10a increase p53 protein levels, activate p53-dependent MDM2 and p21 transcription in MDM2 amplified cells, and show improved selectivity for growth inhibition in wild type p53 cell lines over the parent compound.

Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline and piperidine derivatives were selectively synthesized from substituted indenes or cyclopentenes. The process starts with an oxidative cleavage of the ring olefin bond, which gives reactive diformyl intermediates. By a ring-closing step using chiral (R) or (S) α-methylbenzylamine under a reductive amination protocol facilitated ring formation with ring expansion of the corresponding nitrogen-containing heterocycles.

This study describes the synthesis and potential applications of pentaaryl-substituted pyrroles. We report a Pd-catalyzed approach for their preparation from 4,5-diyne-9-fluorenone (1,7-diyne) and aromatic amines. The target nitrogen-doped corannulenes () were investigated computationally to understand their electronic properties.

Article Synopsis
- * The study reveals new methods for processing methyl groups in terpenoids, through a combination of silylation and oxidation, leading to various transformations such as substitution and integration of the methyl carbon.
- * These processes not only allow for the creation of novel chemical structures with expanded rings but also show potential applications in medicinal chemistry by adding functional groups to complex compounds.

The enediyne antitumor antibiotics have remarkable structures and exhibit potent DNA cleavage properties that have inspired continued interest as cancer therapeutics. Their complex structures and high reactivity, however, pose formidable challenges to their production and development in the clinic. We report here proof-of-concept studies using a mutasynthesis strategy to combine chemical synthesis of select modifications to a key iodoanthracene-γ-thiolactone intermediate in the biosynthesis of dynemicin A and all other known anthraquinone-fused enediynes (AFEs).

The human P2X7 receptor (hP2X7R) is a homotrimeric cell surface receptor gated by extracellular ATP with two transmembrane helices per subunit, TM1 and TM2. A ring of three S342 residues, one from each pore-forming TM2 helix, located halfway across the membrane bilayer, functions to close and open the gate in the apo and ATP-bound open states, respectively. The hP2X7R is selective for small inorganic cations, but can also conduct larger organic cations such as Tris.
