3-iodo-1H-pyrrolo[3',2':4,5]imidazo-[1,2-a]pyridines and [1,2-b]pyridazines were prepared following Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé MCR combined with I2-promoted electrophilic cyclization. The flexibility of the method enables introduction diversity in 2, 5, 6, 7 positions on resulting scaffold using commercially available starting materials. Furthermore, subsequent palladium-catalyzed reactions successfully achieved our iodinated derivatives.

ABSTRACT Allosteric HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs) are investigational antiretroviral agents that potently impair virion maturation by inducing hyper-multimerization of IN and inhibiting its interaction with viral genomic RNA. The pyrrolopyridine-based ALLINI pirmitegravir (PIR) has recently advanced into phase 2a clinical trials. Previous cell culture-based breakthrough assays identified the (Y99H/A128T IN) variant confers substantial resistance to this inhibitor. Here, we have...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging global pandemic with severe morbidity and mortality caused by the acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Molnupiravir, ester prodrug form of N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC), was recently emergency-use approved for treatment early SARS-CoV-2 infections. Herein, we report synthesis evaluation a series novel NHC analogs.

An efficient and original synthesis of various 3,7‐substituted pyrazolo[1,5‐ a ]pyrimidines is reported. First, two‐step process by an S N Ar amination followed Pd‐catalyzed direct CH‐arylation was developed, then parallel single‐pot amination/CH arylation sequence performed starting from 7‐chloro‐5‐methyl‐2‐phenylpyrazolo[1,5‐ ]pyrimidine to obtain highly functionalized products with good yields.

The convenient preparation of three imidazo[1,2‐ a ]pyridine‐2‐carboxamide intermediates is reported through known Strecker–Ugi type multicomponent reactions, Tschitschibabin condensations, and further synthetic sequences. derivatives were then efficiently converted to novel 4‐chloro‐2‐(trifluoromethyl)pyrido[1,2‐ e ]purines by their original reactions with 2,2,2‐trifluoroacetamide, followed subsequent dehydroxychlorination reactions. These compounds cross‐coupled under microwave irradiation...

A ligand-free cooperative bimetallic iron/copper catalysis system was found to introduce various azoles and thiols onto 6-iodoimidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>] pyridine. After optimization, the inexpensive, nontoxic, air-stable, commercially available CuO FeCl<sub>2</sub>·4H<sub>2</sub>O enabled a regio­selective N- S-arylation of common nitrogen heterocycles broad range mercaptans including aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic thiols.

DNA glycosylases are emerging as relevant pharmacological targets in inflammation, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Consequently, the search for inhibitors of these enzymes has become a very active research field. As continuation previous work that showed 2-thioxanthine (2TX) is an irreversible inhibitor zinc finger (ZnF)-containing Fpg/Nei glycosylases, we designed synthesized mini-library 2TX-derivatives (TXn) evaluated their ability to inhibit enzymes. Among forty compounds, four...
