A series of novel, azacyclic ureas which are highly potent inhibitors of the HIV-1 protease (IC50 = 4.1 to < 0.5 nM) were synthesized. Aqueous solubilities of this series of compounds were improved by incorporating polar functional groups at the P1' P2 and P2' positions. These compounds also possess good anti-viral activity by inhibition of the cytopathic effect of HIV-13B in MT-4 cells in vitro.

Article Synopsis
  • Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are crucial for many biological functions and diseases, making them important but challenging targets for drug development.
  • Traditional drug discovery has focused on enzymes and receptors, which have smaller binding sites, leaving a gap in strategies to successfully target PPIs.
  • To overcome these challenges, a new strategy called privileged substructure-based diversity-oriented synthesis (pDOS) was developed, incorporating pyrimidine-based compounds to create diverse chemical structures that can effectively interfere with PPIs, including inhibiting the interaction between human ACE2 and the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Azacyclic Anchor-Enabled Cohesive Graphite Electrodes for Sustainable Anion Storage.

Adv Mater

November 2023

Department of Chemistry, Division of Advanced Materials Science, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, 37673, Republic of Korea.

Advanced energy-storage devices are indispensable for expanding electric mobility applications. While anion intercalation-type redox chemistry in graphite cathodes has opened the path to high-energy-density batteries, surpassing the limited energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries , a significant challenge remains: the large volume expansion of graphite upon anion intercalation. In this study, a novel polymeric binder and cohesive graphite cathode design for dual-ion batteries (DIBs) is presented, which exhibits remarkable stability even under high voltage conditions (>5 V).

This study involved the design and synthesis of 21 new nitrogen-containing heterocyclic chalcone derivatives utilizing the active substructure splicing principle, with glycyrrhiza chalcone serving as the lead compound. The targets of these derivatives were VEGFR-2 and P-gp, and their efficacy against cervical cancer was evaluated. Following preliminary conformational analysis, compound ((E)-1-(2-hydroxy-5-((4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)methyl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-((4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one) exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa and SiHa) with IC values of 6.

Asymmetric [5+1] Annulation via C-H Activation/1,4-Rh Migration/Double Bond Shift Using a Transformable Pyridazine Directing Group.

Org Lett

March 2023

NMPA Key Laboratory for Research and Evaluation of Innovative Drug, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Pingyuan Laboratory, Henan Normal University, Xinxiang, Henan 453007, China.

-Heterocycle-assisted C-H activation/annulation reactions have provided new concepts for the construction and transformation of azacycles. In this work, we disclose a [5+1] annulation reaction using a novel transformable pyridazine directing group (DG). The DG-transformable reaction mode led to the construction of a new heterocyclic ring accompanied by transformation of the original pyridazine directing group via a C-H activation/1,4-Rh migration/double bond shift pathway, affording the skeleton of pyridazino[6,1-]quinazolines with a good substrate scope under mild conditions.

Intermolecular Difunctionalization of ,-Palladacycles Obtained by Pd(0)-Catalyzed C-H Activation.

Acc Chem Res

,-Palladacycles are an important class of organometallic compounds in which palladium is σ-bonded to two carbon atoms. They have three notable features that make them attractive in organic synthesis and organometallic chemistry: (1) ,-Palladacycles are reactive intermediates that can be accessed via Pd(0)-catalyzed C-H activation of organic halides. Compared to Pd(II)-catalyzed heteroatom-directed C-H activation, C-H activation catalyzed by Pd(0) has some distinct advantages.
