[PMID: 38139243 PMCID: PMC10743568 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242417414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Thiazole and piperazine are two important heterocyclic rings that play a prominent role in nature and have a broad range of applications in agricultural and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report the parallel synthesis of a library of diverse piperazine-tethered thiazole compounds. The reaction of piperazine with newly generated 4-chloromethyl-2-amino thiazoles led to the desired piperazine thiazole compounds with high purities and good overall yields. Using a variety of commercially available carboxylic acids, the parallel synthesis of a variety of disubstituted 4-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)thiazol-2-amine derivatives is described. the screening of the compounds led to the identification of antiplasmodial compounds that exhibited interesting antimalarial activity, primarily against the Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine-resistant Dd2 strain. The hit compound 2291-61 demonstrated an antiplasmodial EC50 of 102 nM in the chloroquine-resistant Dd2 strain and a selectivity of over 140.

Abstract
Polyheterocycles are one of the most desired synthetic targets due to their numerous and valuable applications in various fields. We report the design and the parallel synthesis of novel linear oligocyclic guanidine peptidomimetics from predesigned reduced polyamides. A screening of these compounds identified active Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase inhibitors which do not inhibit human DNA topoisomerase IIα and topoisomerase I.

Abstract
Hypervalent iodine reagents have been applied in many metal-free, efficient synthesis of natural products and other bioactive compounds. In particular, treatment of alcohols, acetals and acids with hypervalent iodine reagents and iodine results in O-radicals that can undergo a β-scission reaction. Under these oxidative conditions, derivatives of amino acids, peptides or carbohydrates are converted into cationic intermediates, which can subsequently undergo inter- or intramolecular addition of nucleophiles. Most reported papers describe the addition of oxygen nucleophiles, but this review is focused on the addition of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous nucleophiles. The resulting products (nucleoside and alkaloid analogs, unnatural amino acids, site-selectively modified peptides) are valuable intermediates or analogs of bioactive compounds.

1,5-Disubstituted Acylated 2-Amino-4,5-dihydroimidazoles as a New Class of Retinoic Acid Receptor-Related Orphan Receptor (ROR) Inhibitors. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23084433.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests a pathogenic role for pro-inflammatory T helper 17 cells (Th17) in several autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, type I diabetes, and psoriasis-diseases for which no curative treatment is currently available. The nuclear retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors alpha and gamma (RORα/γ), in particular the truncated isoform RORγt that is specifically expressed in the thymus, play a critical role in the activation of a pro-inflammatory Th17 response, and RORγ inverse agonists have shown promise as negative regulators of Th17 for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Our study underscores the screening of a large combinatorial library of 1,5-disubstituted acylated 2-amino-4,5-dihydroimidazoles using a demonstrated synthetic and screening approach and the utility of the positional scanning libraries strategy for the rapid identification of a novel class of ROR inhibitors. We identified compound 1295-273 with the highest activity against RORγ (3.3 µM IC50) in this series, and almost a two-fold selectivity towards this receptor isoform, with 5.3 and 5.8 µM IC50 against RORα and RORβ cells, respectively.

Abstract
The fragmentation of anomeric alkoxyl radicals (ARF) and the subsequent cyclization promoted by hypervalent iodine provide an excellent method for the synthesis of guanidino-sugars. The methodology described herein is one of the few existing general methodologies for the formation of medium-sized exo- and endoguanidine-containing heterocycles presenting a high degree of oxygenation in their structure.
