3-(4-aroyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-N-hydroxy-2-propenamides, a new class of synthetic histone deacetylase inhibitors.

Novel 3-(4-aroyl-2-pyrrolyl)-N-hydroxy-2-propenamides are disclosed as a new class of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. Three-dimensional structure-based drug design and conformational analyses into the histone deacetylase-like protein (HDLP) catalytic core suggested the synthesis and biological evaluation of compounds 7a-h. Experimental pK(i) values are in good agreement with VALIDATE predicted pK(i) values of new derivatives. All compounds 7a-h show HDAC inhibitory activity in the micromolar range, with 7e as the most potent derivative (IC(50) = 1.9 microM). The influence of the 4'-substituent in the aroyl moiety is not significant for the inhibitory activity, as all compounds 7a-g show IC(50) values between 1.9 and 3.9 microM. Otherwise, the unsaturated chain linking the pyrrole ring to the hydroxamic acid group is clearly important for the anti-HDAC activity, the saturated analogue 7h being 10-fold less active than the unsaturated counterpart 7a.

Synthesis of C-aryl and C-alkyl glycosides using glycosyl phosphates.

[reaction: see text] Mannosyl and glucosyl phosphate donors were successfully used in constructing C-aryl linkages common to many natural products via a Lewis acid induced Fries-like rearrangement. The rearrangement was stereo- and regiospecific, yielding only one C-glycoside product. C-Alkyl glycoside carbohydrate mimetics were generated by using silicon-derived C-nucleophiles and glycosyl phosphates.

Conformational analysis of tandospirone in aqueous solution: lead evolution of potent dopamine D4 receptor ligands.

The significant contribution of folded conformation (2) of the anxiolytic tandospirone (1) in aqueous solution was verified by dynamic 1H NMR. A structurally rigid mimic of 2 was designed and synthesized to evaluate the implication of 2 towards neuroleptic receptor binding. The designed structures provided a new rigid scaffold for dopamine D4 ligands.
