SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A member 2 (SMARCA2), also known as Brahma homologue (BRM), is a Snf2-family DNA-dependent ATPase. BRM and its close Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1), SMARCA4, are mutually exclusive ATPases the large ATP-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes involved in transcriptional regulation expression. No small molecules have been reported that modulate activity via inhibition ATPase activity, an important goal...

Tertiary acyclic allyl amines and tertiary cyclic alpha-vinyl undergo conjugate additions to acetylenic sulfones produce zwitterion intermediates, followed by 3-aza-Cope rearrangements. In the case of amines, process results in ring-expansion, providing a novel route 9- 17-membered amines. The Hammett plot for reaction 8b with 2a- 2f shows rho = +1.19, which is consistent formation proposed rate-determining step, where electron-withdrawing substituents on arylsulfonyl moiety stabilize...

Advances in the design of permeable peptides and synthesis large arrays macrocyclic with diverse amino acids have evolved on parallel but independent tracks. Less precedent combines their respective attributes, thereby limiting potential to identify peptide ligands for key targets. Herein, we present novel 6-, 7-, 8-mer cyclic (MW 774–1076 g·mol–1) passive permeability oral exposure that feature thioether ring-closing common array formats, including DNA- RNA-templated synthesis. Each herein,...

Abstract Uveal melanoma is a rare and aggressive cancer that originates in the eye. Currently, there are no approved targeted therapies very few effective treatments for this cancer. Although activating mutations G protein alpha subunits, GNAQ GNA11, key genetic drivers of disease, additional drug targets have been identified. Recently, studies identified context-specific roles mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes (also known as BAF/PBAF) various lineages. Here, we find evidence...
