Preparation of Acidic 5-Hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles via the Cycloaddition of Aryl Azides with β-Ketoesters

Discovery of a new class of triazole based inhibitors of acetyl transferase KAT2A

We have recently developed a new synthetic methodology that provided both N-aryl-5-hydroxytriazoles and N-pyridine-4-alkyl triazoles. A selection of these products was carried through virtual screening towards targets that are contemporary and validated for drug discovery and development. This study determined a number of potential structure target dyads of which N-pyridinium-4-carboxylic-5-alkyl triazole displayed the highest score specificity towards KAT2A. Binding affinity tests of abovementioned triazole and related analogs towards KAT2A confirmed the predictions of the in-silico assay. Finally, we have run in vitro inhibition assays of selected triazoles towards KAT2A; the ensemble of binding and inhibition assays delivered pyridyl-triazoles carboxylates as the prototype of a new class of inhibitors of KAT2A.

Ethyl 5-Formyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, and DFT Calculation

For the first time, 5-formyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate was synthesized via a two-step scheme. The molecular structure of the compound was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to study various intermolecular interactions. The crystalline structure is marked by the presence of three types of π-interactions (n→π*, lp···π, and π···π) between the -C(H)=O group and triazole rings. The compound is a versatile polyfunctional building block for construction of annulated 1,2,3-triazoles.
