Abstract
A highly regio- and enantioselective hydrosulfonylation using commercially available sodium sulfinates is reported, providing the first direct asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed hydrosulfonylation of allenes/alkynes to synthesize chiral allylic sulfones. Ligand screening studies demonstrated the indispensable role of the C1-symmetric P,N-ligand (Rax,S,S)-StackPhim for achieving both high regioselecitivity (>20:1) and enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee). Notably, the operationally simple method and mild conditions allow for the rapid preparation of chiral allylic sulfones with a wide scope of functional groups. Moreover, the use of sodium tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethanesulfinate enables the collective synthesis of various chiral sulfone derivatives after simple transformations of the protected hydroxymethyl product.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel is a non-selective cation channel that is mostly permeable to calcium (Ca2+), which participates in intracellular Ca2+ handling in cardiac cells. It is widely expressed through the body and is activated by a large spectrum of physicochemical stimuli, conferring it a role in a variety of sensorial and physiological functions. Within the cardiovascular system, TRPV4 expression is reported in cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), where it modulates mitochondrial activity, Ca2+ homeostasis, cardiomyocytes electrical activity and contractility, cardiac embryonic development and fibroblast proliferation, as well as vascular permeability, dilatation and constriction. On the other hand, TRPV4 channels participate in several cardiac pathological processes such as the development of cardiac fibrosis, hypertrophy, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, heart failure, myocardial infarction and arrhythmia. In this manuscript, we provide an overview of TRPV4 channel implications in cardiac physiology and discuss the potential of the TRPV4 channel as a therapeutic target against cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Research on transient receptor potential vanilloid-4 (TRPV4) can provide a promising potential therapeutic target in the development of novel medicines for lung disorders. TRPV4 expresses in lung tissue and plays an important role in the maintenance of respiratory homeostatic function. TRPV4 is upregulated in life-threatening respiratory diseases like pulmonary hypertension, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. TRPV4 is linked to several proteins that have physiological functions and are sensitive to a wide variety of stimuli, such as mechanical stimulation, changes in temperature, and hypotonicity, and responds to a variety of proteins and lipid mediators, including anandamide (AA), the arachidonic acid metabolite, 5,6-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (5,6-EET), a plant dimeric diterpenoid called bisandrographolide A (BAA), and the phorbol ester 4-alpha-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate (4α-PDD). This study focused on relevant research evidence of TRPV4 in lung disorders and its agonist and antagonist effects. TRPV4 can be a possible target of discovered molecules that exerts high therapeutic potential in the treatment of respiratory diseases by inhibiting TRPV4.

Abstract
A series of new Morita–Baylis–Hillman acetates were prepared and reacted with methanesulfonamide (K2CO3, DMF, 23 °C) to produce tertiary dihydroquinoline sulfonamides in high yields. Subsequent efforts to eliminate the methylsulfonyl group from these derivatives (K2CO3, DMF, 90 °C) as a route to quinolines were met with mixed results. Although dihydroquinoline sulfonamides prepared from ethyl acrylate and acrylonitrile generally underwent elimination to give excellent yields of quinolines, those generated from 3-buten-2-one failed to undergo elimination and instead decomposed. The failure of these ketone substrates to aromatize presumably derives from the enolizable methyl ketone at C-3. Finally, the attempted aromatization of the acrylate-derived 6,7-difluoro-1,2-dihydroquinoline sulfonamide demonstrated that other interesting processes could occur in preference to the desired elimination.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is present in different tissues including those of the airways. This channel is activated in response to stimuli such as changes in temperature, hypoosmotic conditions, mechanical stress, and chemicals from plants, lipids, and others. TRPV4's overactivity and/or dysfunction has been associated with several diseases, such as skeletal dysplasias, neuromuscular disorders, and lung pathologies such as asthma and cardiogenic lung edema and COVID-19-related respiratory malfunction. TRPV4 antagonists and blockers have been described; nonetheless, the mechanisms involved in achieving inhibition of the channel remain scarce, and the search for safe use of these molecules in humans continues. Here, we show that the widely used bronchodilator salbutamol and other ligands of β-adrenergic receptors inhibit TRPV4's activation. We also demonstrate that inhibition of TRPV4 by salbutamol is achieved through interaction with two residues located in the outer region of the pore and that salbutamol leads to channel closing, consistent with an allosteric mechanism. Our study provides molecular insights into the mechanisms that regulate the activity of this physiopathologically important ion channel.

Abstract
The normal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between the carbonates of 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenones and C,N-cyclic azomethine imines can be switched to an inverse-electron-demand version under Pd(0) catalysis, by in situ generation of HOMO-raised η2-Pd(0)-cyclopentadienone complexes. An array of fused heterocyclic architectures are constructed with high levels of diastereo and enantioselectivity, and diastereodivergent synthesis is well realised by tuning the bifunctional phosphine ligands. In addition, similar reaction with in situ formed thiophene-1,1-dioxide is compatible by using a chiral bisphosphine ligand, and the fused cyclic sulfone frameworks are afforded with high stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Due to its high efficiency, good safety profile, and potential cardio-protective properties, metformin, a dimethyl biguanide, is the first-line medication in antihyperglycemic treatment for type 2 diabetic patients. The aim of our present study was to assess the effects of eight new sulfonamide-based derivatives of metformin on selected plasma parameters and vascular hemostasis, as well as on endothelial and smooth muscle cell function. The compounds with an alkyl chain (1–3), trifluoromethyl substituent (4), or acetyl group (5) significantly elevated glucose utilization in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs), similarly to metformin. Our novel findings showed that metformin analogues 1–3 presented the most beneficial properties because of their greatest safety profile in the WST-1 cell viability assay, which was also proved in the further HUVEC integrity studies using RTCA DP. Compounds 1–3 did not affect either HUVEC or aortal smooth muscle cell (AoSMC) viability up to 3.0 mM. Importantly, these compounds beneficially affected some of the coagulation parameters, including factor X and antithrombin III activity. In contrast to the above-mentioned metformin analogues, derivatives 4 and 5 exerted more profound anticoagulation effects; however, they were also more cytotoxic towards HUVECs, as IC50 values were 1.0–1.5 mM. In conclusion, the chemical modification of a metformin scaffold into sulfonamides possessing alkyl substituents results in the formation of novel derivatives with potential bi-directional activity including anti-hyperglycemic properties and highly desirable anti-coagulant activity.

Abstract
A carbene-catalyzed sulfonylation reaction between enone aryl aldehydes and sulfonyl chlorides is disclosed. The reaction effectively installs sulfone moieties in a highly enantioselective manner to afford sulfone-containing bicyclic lactones. The sulfonyl chloride behaves both as an oxidant and a nucleophilic substrate (via its reduced form) in this N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed process. The NHC catalyst provides both activation and stereoselectivity control on a very remote site of enone aryl aldehyde substrates. Water plays an important role in modulating catalyst deactivation and reactivation routes that involve reactions between NHC and sulfonyl chloride. Experimental studies and DFT calculations suggest that an unprecedented intermediate and a new oxidation mode of the NHC-derived Breslow intermediate are involved in the new asymmetric sulfonylation reaction.

Abstract
GSK2798745, an antagonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel, was recently investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of cardiac and respiratory diseases. Human plasma and urine samples collected from healthy volunteers following oral administration were analyzed to identify circulating and excreted metabolites of the parent drug. One major circulating metabolite (1) was found in pooled human plasma samples, accounting for approximately half of the observed drug-related material. Isolation of metabolite 1 from urine samples followed by MS and NMR studies led to a putative structural assignment of 1 where hydroxylation of GSK2798745 occurred on the central ring, producing a penta-substituted cyclohexane structure containing three stereocenters. Two unique chemical syntheses of the proposed structure were developed to confirm the identity of metabolite 1 and provide access to gram quantities for biological characterization.

Abstract
An efficient palladium-catalyzed AAA reaction with a simple α-sulfonyl carbon anion as nucleophiles is presented for the first time. Allyl fluorides are used as superior precursors for the generation of π-allyl complexes that upon ionization liberate fluoride anions for activation of silylated nucleophiles. With the unique bidentate diamidophosphite ligand ligated palladium as catalyst, the in situ generated α-sulfonyl carbon anion was quickly captured by the allylic intermediates, affording a series of chiral homo-allylic sulfones with high efficiency and selectivity. This work provides a mild in situ desilylation strategy to reveal nucleophilic carbon centers that could be used to overcome the pKa limitation of “hard” nucleophiles in enantioselective transformations. A variety of “hard” α-sulfonyl carbanions of aryl, heteroaryl and alkyl sulfones were successfully employed as nucleophiles in palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation with excellent enantioselectivities.![]()

Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition using in situ generated sulfone-TMM species to construct various chiral cyclopentyl sulfones in a highly regio-, diastereo- (dr >15:1), and enantioselective (up to 99% ee) manner is reported. The present strategy can tolerate different types of sulfone-TMM donors and acceptors, and enables the construction of three chiral centers in a single step, specifically with a chiral center bearing the sulfone moiety. The robust chiral diamidophosphite ligand is the key to the reactivity and selectivities of this transformation.

Abstract
Introduction: Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is an ion channel that is widely expressed and is activated by numerous chemical, osmotic and mechanical stimuli. By modulating Ca2+ entry, TRPV4 regulates cellular signaling associated with a variety of (patho)physiological processes and is a target of interest for treatment of human diseases including heart failure, respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatological conditions, pain and cancer, among others.Areas covered: This article reviews small molecule TRPV4 antagonists and new therapeutic use claims disclosed in the patent literature from 2015 to 2020, including applications covering the first potent and selective TRPV4 clinical candidate and other advanced chemotypes.Expert opinion: TRPV4 has proven to be a tractable target and significant progress in discovery of TRPV4 antagonists has been realized in recent years. Several unique chemical templates with drug-like properties inhibit the channel and show efficacy in models that suggest their potential for treatment of a variety of diseases. While compelling clinical efficacy has not yet been seen in the limited early studies conducted with GSK2798745, evaluation of TRPV4 antagonists in larger trials across several indications is warranted given the availability of high-quality candidates and the promise of therapeutic benefit based on pre-clinical evidence.

The series arose through a scaffold hopping approach, which relied on use of an internal H-bond to replace a saturated heterocyclic ring. Optimization of the lead through investigation of both aryl regions revealed approaches to increase potency through substituents believed to enhance separate intramolecular and intermolecular H-bond interactions. A proposed internal H-bond between the amine and neighboring benzenesulfonamide was stabilized by electronically modulating the benzenesulfonamide. In the aryl ether moiety, substituents para to the nitrile demonstrated an electronic effect on TRPV4 recognition. Finally, the acyclic amines inactivated CYP3A4 and this liability was addressed by modifications that sterically preclude formation of a putative metabolic intermediate complex to deliver advanced TRPV4 antagonists as leads for discovery of novel medicines.

Abstract
The lung is highly sensitive to chemical injuries caused by exposure to threat agents in industrial or transportation accidents, occupational exposures, or deliberate use as weapons of mass destruction (WMD). There are no antidotes for the majority of the chemical threat agents and toxic inhalation hazards despite their use as WMDs for more than a century. Among several putative targets, evidence for transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels as mediators of injury by various inhalational chemical threat agents is emerging. TRP channels are expressed in the respiratory system and are essential for homeostasis. Among TRP channels, the body of literature supporting essential roles for TRPA1, TRPV1, and TRPV4 in pulmonary chemical injuries is abundant. TRP channels mediate their function through sensory neuronal and nonneuronal pathways. TRP channels play a crucial role in complex pulmonary pathophysiologic events including, but not limited to, increased intracellular calcium levels, signal transduction, recruitment of proinflammatory cells, neurogenic inflammatory pathways, cough reflex, hampered mucus clearance, disruption of the integrity of the epithelia, pulmonary edema, and fibrosis. In this review, we summarize the role of TRP channels in chemical threat agents-induced pulmonary injuries and how these channels may serve as medical countermeasure targets for broader indications.

Abstract
TRPV4 is a ubiquitously expressed, non-selective cation channel activated by a range of stimuli including hypotonicity, temperature, pH, stretch and endogenous ligands. Agents that modulate TRPV4 are sought as potential therapeutics for the treatment of many diseases including osteoarthritis, respiratory illnesses, gastrointestinal disorders, pain and congestive heart failure. In recent years, significant advances in TRPV4 drug discovery have been realized as at least seven novel TRPV4 agonist or antagonist templates were reported and the first selective TRPV4 antagonist was evaluated in early clinical trials.

Abstract
GSK3527497, a preclinical candidate for the inhibition of TRPV4, was identified starting from the previously reported pyrrolidine sulfonamide TRPV4 inhibitors 1 and 2. Optimization of projected human dose was accomplished by specifically focusing on in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters CLu, Vdssu, and MRT. We highlight the use of conformational changes as a novel approach to modulate Vdssu and present results that suggest that molecular-shape-dependent binding to tissue components governs Vdssu in addition to bulk physicochemical properties. Optimization of CLu within the series was guided by in vitro metabolite identification, and the poor FaSSIF solubility imparted by the crystalline properties of the pyrrolidine diol scaffold was improved by the introduction of a charged moiety to enable excellent exposure from high crystalline doses. GSK3527497 is a preclinical candidate suitable for oral and iv administration that is projected to inhibit TRPV4 effectively in patients from a low daily clinical dose.
