Published: August 2023

Methods for selective deuterium incorporation into drug-like molecules have become extremely valuable due to the commercial, mechanistic, and biological importance of deuterated compounds. Herein, we report a programmable labeling platform that allows access to C2, C3, or C2- and C3-deuterated indoles under mild, user-friendly conditions. The C2-deuterated indoles are accessed using a reverse hydrogen isotope exchange strategy which represents the first non-directed C2-deuteration of indoles.

Purpose: To implement a low-rank and subspace model-based reconstruction for 3D deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) and compare its performance against Fourier transform-based (FFT) reconstruction in terms of spectral fitting reliability.

Methods: Both reconstruction methods were applied on simulated and experimental DMI data. Numerical simulations were performed to evaluate the effect of increasing acceleration factors.

The development of efficient and robust catalytic systems based on earth-abundant transition metals for fundamentally new transformations is crucial for sustainable chemical synthesis. Herein, an effective and selective Ni-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with hydrazines with the liberation of ammonia gas is reported. Although several methods were documented for the -alkylation reaction, the present strategy is conceptually novel, and the reaction proceeds through a pathway involving N-N bond cleavage of phenylhydrazine followed by hydrogen autotransfer.

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the absorption, metabolism, and excretion of donafenib, a deuterated derivative of sorafenib, in healthy Chinese male volunteers.

Methods: Six healthy Chinese male volunteers were administered a single oral dose of 300 mg donafenib containing 120 µCi of [14 C]-donafenib. The study involved collecting and analyzing plasma, urine, and feces samples to determine the recovery and distribution of total radioactivity, identify metabolites, and assess the metabolic pathways of donafenib.

Indoles, pivotal to the realm of drug discovery, underpin numerous FDA-approved therapeutics. Despite their clinical benefits, pharmacokinetic and toxicity concerns have occasionally hampered their broader application. A notable advancement in this domain is the substitution of hydrogen atoms with deuterium, known as deuterium modification, which significantly enhances the pharmacological properties of these compounds.
