Abstract
As a continuation of the recently communicated discovery of oximinoarylsulfonamides as potent inhibitors of HIV-1 aspartyl protease, compounds bearing pyridylmethyl substituents at P3 were designed and synthesized. Potent analogs in this series provided low single-digit nanomolar EC50 values against both wild-type HIV and resistant mutant virus (A17), attenuated some 3- to 12-fold in the presence of 50% human serum. Pharmacokinetic results for compounds in this series showed good to excellent exposure when co-administered orally with an equal amount of ritonavir (5mg/kg each) in the rat, with average AUC >8 microg h/mL. Similar dosing in dog resulted in significantly lower plasma levels (average AUC <2 microg h/mL). The 3-pyridylmethyl analog 30 gave the best overall exposure (rat AUC=7.1 microg h/mL and dog AUC=4.9 microg h/mL), however, this compound was found to be a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A (Ki=2.4 nM).

Abstract
We have cloned and sequenced Helicobacter pylori alpha-class carbonic anhydrase (hpCA) from patients with different gastric mucosal lesions, including gastritis (n=15), ulcer (n=6), and cancer (n=16). Although several polymorphisms were newly identified such as 12Ala, 13Thr, 16Ile, and 168Phe, there was no significant relevance of any polymorphism with gastric mucosal lesion types. A library of sulfonamides/sulfamates has been investigated for the inhibition of hpCA, whereas new derivatives have been obtained by attaching 4-tert-butyl-phenylcarboxamido/sulfonamido tails to benzenesulfonamide/1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide scaffolds. All types of activity for inhibition of hpCA have been detected. Dorzolamide and simple 4-substituted benzenesulfonamides were weak inhibitors (KI 873-4360 nM). Sulfanilamide, orthanilamide, some of their derivatives, and indisulam showed better activity (KI 413-640 nM), whereas most of the clinically used inhibitors, such as methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, brinzolamide, topiramate, zonisamide, etc., acted as medium-potency inhibitors (KI 105-378 nM). Some potent hpCA inhibitors were detected too (KI 12-84 nM) among acetazolamide, 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulfonamide and some newly designed compounds incorporating lipophilic tails. Some of the newly prepared derivatives had selectivity ratios for inhibiting hpCA over hCA II in the range of 1.25-3.48, showing thus some selectivity for inhibiting the bacterial enzyme. Since hpCA is essential for the survival of the pathogen in acid, it might be used as a new pharmacologic tool in the management of drug-resistant H. pylori.

Abstract
A one-pot procedure for the conversion of carboxylic acids to N-acyl sulfonamides, via thio acid/azide amidation, is presented. The method is compatible with acid- and base-sensitive amino acid protection. N-Acyl sulfonamide synthesis on solid support, peptide thio acid/sulfonazide coupling, and N-alkyl amide synthesis via selective cleavage of sulfonyl from an N-alkyl-N-acyl sulfonamide are also reported.

Abstract
We report a novel chemical class of potent oxytocin receptor antagonists showing a high degree of selectivity against the closely related vasopressin receptors (V1a, V1b, V2). An initial compound, 7, was shown to be active in an animal model of preterm labor when administered by the intravenous but not by the oral route. Stepwise SAR investigations around the different structural elements revealed one position, the arenesulfonyl moiety, to be amenable to structural changes. Consequently, this position was used to introduce a variety of substituents to improve the physicochemical properties. Some of the resulting analogues were found to be superior to 7 both in terms of potency in vitro and aqueous solubility, which translated into significantly improved efficacy in the animal model after intravenous and oral administration. The best compound, 73, potently inhibited oxytocin-induced uterine contractions in nonpregnant rats and reduced spontaneous uterine contractions in late-term pregnant rats.

Abstract
Novel sultam hydroxamates with potent MMP activity were transformed into potent TACE inhibitors, lacking MMP activity. To accomplish this we relied on structural differences between the MMP and TACE S1' pockets and the known advantageous fit of a 2-methyl-4-quinolinylmethoxyphenyl group into this region. From this approach, compound 7d was identified as a potent TACE inhibitor (IC50 = 3.7 nM) that lacked MMP-1, -2, -9, and -13 activity.

Abstract
Potent and selective inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of zinc proteases that can degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix, could be useful for treatment of diseases such as cancer and arthritis. The most potent MMP inhibitors are based on hydroxamate as zinc-binding group (ZBG). alpha-Arylsulfonylamino phosphonates incorporate a particularly favorable combination of phosphonate as ZBG and arylsulfonylamino backbone so that their affinity exceptionally attains the nanomolar strength frequently observed for hydroxamate analogues. The detailed mode of binding of [1-(4'-methoxybiphenyl-4-sulfonylamino)-2-methylpropyl]phosphonate has been clarified by the crystal structures of the complexes that the R- and S-enantiomers respectively form with MMP-8. The reasons for the preferential MMP-8 inhibition by the R-phosphonate are underlined and the differences in the mode of binding of analogous alpha-arylsulfonylamino hydroxamates and carboxylates are discussed.

Abstract
The screening of fragments is an alternative approach to high-throughput screening for the identification of leads for therapeutic targets. Fragment hits have been discovered using X-ray crystallographic screening of protein crystals of the serine protease enzyme thrombin. The fragment library was designed to avoid any well-precedented, strongly basic functionality. Screening hits included a novel ligand (3), which binds exclusively to the S2-S4 pocket, in addition to smaller fragments which bind to the S1 pocket. The structure of these protein-ligand complexes are presented. A chemistry strategy to link two such fragments together and to synthesize larger drug-sized compounds resulted in the efficient identification of hybrid inhibitors with nanomolar potency (e.g., 7, IC50 = 3.7 nM). These potent ligands occupy the same area of the active site as previously described peptidic inhibitors, while having very different chemical architecture.

Abstract
Two 3,5-disubstituted sulfonamide catechol ligands were synthesized. Tris(ligand) iron(III) complexes were prepared and investigated as MRI contrast agents. Longitudinal relaxivity (r1) values were determined for the complexes. The r1 values in water were substantially higher than those of typical six-coordinate iron(III) complexes. The r1 values in plasma under the same conditions increased. The iron(III) complexes were administered to rats, and the kidney and liver signal intensities were measured by T1-weighted MR imaging experiments.

Abstract
The synthesis of novel thiadiazepine derivatives, that could be considered as constraint analogues of E-7010, are reported. These molecules were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity toward the murine L1210 leukemia cell line. Flow cytometric studies performed on L1210 cells with the most cytotoxic compounds showed an accumulation of the cells in the G2/M phases of the cell cycle with a significant percentage of tetraploid cells (8N DNA content). Submicromolar cytotoxicities were observed with compounds 2b, 4b, 4e, 4g, and 4i. Two of them, compounds 2b and 4b, were found to be potent inhibitors of tubulin polymerization with IC50 of respectively 3.8 and 2.4 microM compared to 2.4 microM for desoxypodophyllotoxin. A 4-methoxyphenylethyl substitution on the pyridinyl nitrogen of the benzopyridothiadiazepine was found to be essential for the antiproliferative activity. The in vitro activities of compounds 2b and 4b make benzopyridothiadiazepine dioxides a promising new class of tubulin binders which warrant further in vivo evaluation.

Abstract
To develop a new therapeutic agent for sepsis, screening of the Takeda chemical library was carried out using mouse macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to identify a new class of small-molecule inhibitors of inflammatory mediator production. The lead compound 5a was discovered, from which a series of novel cyclohexene derivatives I bearing a sulfamoyl and ester group were designed, synthesized and tested for their inhibitory activity against nitric oxide (NO) production. Derivatives I were synthesized by the coupling of sulfonyl chlorides and anilines with concomitant double bond migration in the presence of triethylamine, and phenyl ring substitution and modification of the ester and cyclohexene moieties were carried out. Among the compounds synthesized, ethyl (6R)-6-[N-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)sulfamoyl]cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylate [(R)-(+)-5n, TAK-242] was found to exhibit the most potent suppressive activity for the production of not only NO but also inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) induced by LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages with IC50 values of 1.8, 1.9 and 1.3 nM, respectively. It shows marked beneficial effects in vivo also. Intravenous administration of (R)-(+)-5n at doses of 0.1 mg/kg or more suppressed the production of NO and various cytokines [TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1beta] in the mouse endotoxin shock model. Furthermore, it protected mice from death dose-dependently and all mice survived at a dose of 3 mg/kg. The minimum effective dose to protect mice from lethality in this model was 0.3 mg/kg, which was consistent with those for inhibitory effects on the production of NO and cytokines. Compound (R)-(+)-5n is currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of sepsis.

Abstract
The synthesis of a variety of new 1-thio-D-glucopyranose derivatives oxidized at the sulfur atom is described, including seven 1-C-sulfonic acids, three sulfonate esters, three sulfinate esters, an S,S'-diglycosyl thiolsulfonate and thiolsulfinate, four S-glycosyl sulfenamides, an S-glycosyl sulfinamide, and two S-glycosyl sulfonamides. These compounds possess unusual anomeric functionality that might be resistant or even inhibitory to normal enzymatic carbohydrate processing, and therefore, they may be of future use in studies of enzyme inhibition, structure, mechanism, and function.

Abstract
A new dinuclear copper(II) complex has been synthesised and structurally characterised: [Cu2(tz-ben)4] (Htz-ben = N-thiazol-2-yl-benzenesulfonamide). Its crystal structure, magnetic properties and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were studied in detail. In the compound the metal centres are bridged by four non-linear triatomic NCN groups. The coordination geometry of the copper ions in the dinuclear entity is distorted square pyramidal (4+1). Two thiazole N and two sulfonamido N atoms occupy the equatorial positions and one sulfonamido O atom is in the axial position. Magnetic susceptibility data show a strong antiferromagnetic coupling, -2J = 114.1 cm(-1). The EPR spectra of a polycrystalline sample of compound has been obtained at the X- and Q-band frequencies at different temperatures. Above 20K the spectra are characteristic of S = 1 species with a zero field splitting parameter D = 0.4 cm(-1). The EPR parameters are discussed in terms of the known binuclear structures. The chemical nuclease ability of the title complex and that of the related [Cu2(tz-tol)4] compound (Htz-tol = N-thiazol-2-yl-toluenesulfonamide) is reported. The participation of hydroxyl radicals and a singlet oxygen-like entity in the DNA cleavage reaction has been deduced from the assays with radical oxygen scavengers.

Abstract
The incorporation of a single beta-aminoethane sulfonyl amide moiety in a highly amyloidogenic peptide sequence resulted in a complete loss of amyloid fibril formation. Instead, supramolecular folding morphologies were observed. Subsequent chemoselective N-alkylation of the sulfonamide resulted in amphiphilic peptide-based hydrogelators. It was found that variation of merely the alkyl chain induced a dramatic variation in aggregation motifs such as helical ribbons and tapes, ribbons progressing to closed tubes, twisted lamellar sheets and entangled/branched fibers.

Abstract
Monosulfonyl derivatives of simple 1,2- and 1,3-diamines (R2HN-R-NHSO2R1 = L) have been shown to be easily deprotonated to give neutral 2:1 complexes, [M(L - H)(2)], with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) or Zn(II). The Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with deprotonated N-tosyl-1,2-diaminoethane have a planar N4(2-) donor set and a 14-membered pseudo-macrocyclic structure based on head-to-tail S=O...H-N((amine)) bonding between the two bidentate ligands. In the related tetrahedral Zn(II) complex the ends of the mutually perpendicular bidentate N2- units are too far apart to form a cyclic H-bonded system. X-Ray structure determinations on five free ligands provide evidence for extensive inter-molecular H-bonding, which in the case of N-tosyl-1,3-diaminopropane and its N'-tert-butyl derivative involves formation of dimeric 16-membered pseudo-macrocycles. Despite favourable inter-ligand H-bonding in the neutral 2:1 complexes, these ligands are relatively weak extractants, showing >50% loading of Cu(II) in "pH-swing" equilibria, 2L(org)+ M2+ = [M(L - H)2](org)+ 2 H+, only when the pH of the aqueous phase is raised above 4.

Abstract
Two new synthetic methods were established for the efficient synthesis of optically active cyclohexene antisepsis agent, ethyl (6R)-6-[N-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)sulfamoyl]cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylate [(R)-1: TAK-242)]. The first method involved recrystallization from methanol of the diastereomeric mixture (6RS,1'R)-7, obtained by esterification of carboxylic acid 3 with (S)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol [(S)-5)] to give the desired isomer (6R,1'R)-7 with 99% de in 32% yield. Subsequent catalytic hydrogenolysis and esterification gave (R)-1 with >99% ee. The second method employed enantioselective hydrolysis of acetoxymethyl ester 9a (prepared by alkylation of 3 with bromomethyl acetate) with Lipase PS-D to give the eutomeric enantiomer (R)-9a with excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee) and high yield (48%). The desired (R)-1 was then obtained by transesterification with ethanol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid without loss of ee. Of these, the procedure employing enzymatic kinetic resolution using Lipase PS-D is the more efficient and practical preparation of (R)-1.

Abstract
Despite the progress of the past two decades, there is still considerable need for safe, efficacious drugs that target human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This is particularly true for the growing number of patients infected with virus resistant to currently approved HIV drugs. Our high throughput screening effort identified a benzophenone template as a potential nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). This manuscript describes our extensive exploration of the benzophenone structure-activity relationships, which culminated in the identification of several compounds with very potent inhibition of both wild type and clinically relevant NNRTI-resistant mutant strains of HIV. These potent inhibitors include 70h (GW678248), which has in vitro antiviral assay IC(50) values of 0.5 nM against wild-type HIV, 1 nM against the K103N mutant associated with clinical resistance to efavirenz, and 0.7 nM against the Y181C mutant associated with clinical resistance to nevirapine. Compound 70h has also demonstrated relatively low clearance in intravenous pharmacokinetic studies in three species, and it is the active component of a drug candidate which has progressed to phase 2 clinical studies.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2005; 15:3389-93.

Abstract
2'-Deoxy, 3'-deoxy, and 2',3'-dideoxyribosyl surrogates of isoleucyl and methionyl sulfamate adenylates have been investigated to identify the pharmacophoric importance of the ribose group for the inhibition of Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNA (MRS) and isoleucyl-tRNA (IRS) synthetases. Molecular modeling of 2',3'-dideoxyribosyl Met-NHSO2-AMP (9) with the crystal structure of E. coli MRS revealed that the lack of the two hydroxyl groups on ribose was compensated by the formation of an extra hydrogen bond between the ring oxygen and His24, resulting in a small activity reduction.

Abstract
This manuscript reports the identification of a novel series of mono- and bis- benzene sulfonamides with potent binding affinity for bovine carbonic anhydrase II (bCAII). These compounds exhibited nanomolar equilibrium dissociation constants with K(i)'s ranging from 4.7 to 9.3nM. All compounds were ester derivatives of the weak affinity bCAII inhibitor, 4-carboxybenzenesulfonamide. Structure-activity relationships for this novel series of compounds are discussed.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] Two short and efficient synthesis routes have been developed for bis-THF-alcohol 2, a key building block of the investigational HIV protease inhibitor TMC114 (1). Using S-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde (4) as the source of chirality, both routes are based on a diastereoselective Michael addition of nitromethane to give predominantly the syn congeners 6 followed by a Nef oxidation and cyclization to afford lactone acetals 8, which are reduced and cyclized to give 2.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] An efficient protocol has been developed using D-(2R)-Oppolzer sultam as a chiral auxiliary for generating anti/syn diastereomers with high enantiopurity and utilized in the efficient synthesis of natural product belactosin C and their synthetic congeners. It has been observed that a variation in the stoichiometry of the Lewis acid led to a difference in anti/syn selectivity.

Abstract
The synthesis of a small collection of sulfamoyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamides is described for use as correctors of defective gating of the DeltaF508-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel. Several compounds with submicromolar potency were obtained. N-Ethyl 6-(ethylphenylsulfamoyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide (7b) was found to be the most effective sulfonamide corrector of defective DeltaF508-CFTR gating.

Abstract
A number of isatin sulfonamide analogues were prepared and their potencies for inhibiting caspase-1, -3, -6, -7, and -8 were evaluated in vitro. Several compounds displaying a nanomolar potency for inhibiting the executioner caspases, caspase-3 and caspase-7, were identified. These compounds were also observed to have a low potency for inhibiting the initiator caspases, caspase-1 and caspase-8, and caspase-6. Molecular modeling studies provided further insight into the interaction of this class of compounds with activated caspase-3. The results of the current study revealed a number of non-peptide-based caspase inhibitors that may be useful in assessing the role of inhibiting the executioner caspases in minimizing tissue damage in disease conditions characterized by unregulated apoptosis.
