The development of a gold(I)-catalyzed sulfination aryl boronic acids is described. This transformation proceeds through an unprecedented mechanism which exploits the reactivity gold(I)-heteroatom bonds to form sulfinate anions. Further in situ elaboration intermediates leads corresponding sulfones and sulfonamides, two pharmacophores routinely encountered drug discovery.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) inhibitors offer significant potential for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hepatic steatosis, and cancer. However, identification tool compounds suitable to test hypothesis in human trials has been challenging. An advanced series spirocyclic ketone-containing ACC recently reported by Pfizer were metabolized vivo ketone reduction, which complicated pharmacology projections. We disclose that this metabolic reduction can be greatly attenuated...
Abstract The development of a gold(I)‐catalyzed sulfination aryl boronic acids is described. This transformation proceeds through an unprecedented mechanism which exploits the reactivity gold(I)–heteroatom bonds to form sulfinate anions. Further in situ elaboration intermediates leads corresponding sulfones and sulfonamides, two pharmacophores routinely encountered drug discovery.
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme peroxidase that catalyzes the production of hypochlorous acid. Clinical evidence suggests causal role for MPO in various autoimmune and inflammatory disorders including vasculitis cardiovascular Parkinson's diseases, implying inhibitors may represent therapeutic treatment option. Herein, we present design, synthesis, preclinical evaluation N1-substituted-6-arylthiouracils as potent selective MPO. Inhibition proceeded time-dependent manner by covalent,...
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the rate-determining step in de novo lipogenesis and plays a crucial role regulation of fatty acid oxidation. Alterations lipid metabolism are believed to contribute insulin resistance; thus inhibition ACC offers promising option for intervention type 2 diabetes mellitus. Herein we disclose series inhibitors based on spirocyclic pyrazololactam core. The lactam has improved chemical metabolic stability relative our previously reported pyrazoloketone...
The editing of organic molecules through single-atom modifications is an enabling capability for medicinal chemistry. While several examples insertions into the carbon–carbon double bonds unsaturated aromatic ring systems have been reported, heteroatom chemically inert single are comparatively rare. We report herein a photochemical strategy formal migration oxygen atoms bonds. This protocol based on ability copper(II) salts to induce homolytic cleavage adjacent alcohols and mediate oxidative...
Recent studies in adipose tissue, pancreas, muscle, and macrophages suggest that MAP4K4, a serine/threonine protein kinase may be viable target for antidiabetic drugs. As part of the evaluation MAP4K4 as novel target, tool compound, 16 (PF-6260933) lead 17 possessing excellent kinome selectivity suitable properties were delivered to establish proof concept vivo. The medicinal chemistry effort led discovery these compounds is described herein together with vivo pharmacokinetic activity model...

The first Pd-catalyzed arylation of aza-Achmatowicz rearrangement products with arylboronic acids is achieved, providing versatile 2-aryldihydropyridinones for facile synthesis highly functionalized 2-arylpiperidines. Key to this the use non-phosphine-ligand palladium precatalyst. substrate scope demonstrated >26 examples, and utility illustrated by a small collection 2-arylpiperidines substituents or functional groups at any carbon (C2–C6) as well two NK1 receptor antagonists (+)-CP-999,94...
Preclinical and clinical data suggest that acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) inhibitors have the potential to rebalance disordered lipid metabolism, leading improvements in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Consistent with these observations, first-in-human trials our ACC inhibitor PF-05175157 led robust reduction of de novo lipogenesis (DNL), albeit concomitant reductions platelet count, which were attributed inhibition fatty acid synthesis within bone marrow. Herein, we describe design,...
We report the successful manufacture of several >50 kg batches a key intermediate via Birch reduction that utilized liquified ammonia as well lithium metal. With an eye toward continued scalability, we explored two alternative procedures to obtain same intermediate: (1) electrochemical performed using continuous flow technology and (2) ketalization approach proceeds with olefin migration give target molecule. Both options were in detail then demonstrated on ≥100 g scale assess overall...
