Macrocyclic compounds are an attractive modality for drug development, but the limited availability of large, structurally diverse macrocyclic libraries hampers the discovery of leads. Here, we describe the discovery of efficient macrocyclization reactions based on thiol-to-amine ligations using bis-electrophiles, their application to synthesize and screen large libraries of macrocyclic compounds, and the identification of potent small macrocyclic ligands. The thiol-to-amine cyclization reactions showed unexpectedly high yields for a wide substrate range, which obviated product purification and enabled the generation and screening of an 8988 macrocycle library with a comparatively small effort. X-ray structure analysis of an identified thrombin inhibitor (Ki = 42 ± 5 nM) revealed a snug fit with the target, validating the strategy of screening large libraries with a high skeletal diversity. The approach provides a route for screening large sub-kilodalton macrocyclic libraries and may be applied to many challenging drug targets.

Reaction of icosahedral carboranes with excess sulfur over AlCl3 converts in high yields o-carborane to 9,12-, and m-carborane to 9,10- and 5(4),9-dithiols which were transformed by CH2Br2 to the appropriate cyclic thioformal derivatives. Reaction of 9,12(HS)2-1,2-C2B10H10 with acetone and AlCl3 afforded a cyclic thioketal, the structure of which was confirmed by X-ray structure analysis. All structures were proposed on the ground of 1H-, 11B-NMR and mass spectra.

The reaction of dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium tetrafluoroborate [(CH3)2S–SCH3][BF4] with η/5-cyclopentadienyl(dicarbonyl)carbyne complexes of molybdenum and tungsten Cp(CO)2M ≡ C–R (M = Mo, W; R = CH3, C6H5, C6H4CH3) 1c, 2a–d results in an electrophilic attack of the SCH3 moiety at the metal carbon triple bond, providing orange to red, diamagnetic, cationic η2-thiocarbene complexes 3c, 4a–d in high yields. The new compounds were identified by X-ray structure analysis, NMR, IR and mass spectra.

A series of different types of ‘bridge’ linked bis(amidinate)s have been prepared. Reactions of a variety of linked diamines with pivaloyl chloride yielded the corresponding diamides in very high yields. Conversion of the diamides to the diimine chloride is achieved with PCl5 in CH2Cl2. Reactions of the diimine chloride with aniline or t-butyl amine yielded the bis(amidinate)s in good yields, while reaction with pyrrolyl sodium or 2,5-dimethyl pyrrolyl potassium afforded the corresponding derivatives. Their structures were characterised by NMR and HRMS, and some products were further characterised by X-ray crystal structure analysis. It was found that the locations of the hydrogen atoms within the two amidine fragments vary. The structures showed that in the phenylene-linked bis(amidinate)s, the hydrogen atoms were attached to different nitrogen atoms in the amidine groups, and in the cyclohexylene-linked bis(amidinate)s or their derivatives, the C=N of the amidine groups were conjugated with the aromatic rings.

Drug development is a decades-long, multibillion dollar investment that often limits itself. To decrease the time to drug approval, efforts are focused on drug targets and drug formulation for optimal biocompatibility and efficacy. X-ray structural characterization approaches have catalyzed the drug discovery and design process. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) reveals important structural details and molecular interactions for the manifestation of a disease or for therapeutic effect. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) has provided a method to determine the different phases, purity, and stability of biological drug compounds that possess crystallinity. Recently, synchrotron sources have enabled wider access to the study of noncrystalline or amorphous solids. One valuable technique employed to determine atomic arrangements and local atom ordering of amorphous materials is the pair distribution function (PDF). PDF has been used in the study of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs). ASDs are made up of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) within a drug dispersed at the molecular level in an amorphous polymeric carrier. This information is vital for appropriate formulation of a drug for stability, administration, and efficacy purposes. Natural or biomimetic products are often used as the API or the formulation agent. This review profiles the deep insights that X-ray structural techniques and associated analytical methods can offer in the development of a drug.

The 8aR absolute stereochemistry of Wieland-Miescher ketone (-)-I was established by the X-ray structure analysis of its bis(4-bromobenzoate) derivatives (1R,6R,8aR)-(+)-IV and (1R,6S,8aR)-(-)-V. The absolute configuration of (-)-I was corroborated further by the application of the CD exciton chirality method to bis(4-bromobenzoates) (+)-IV and (-)-V.

AbstractNano-eggshell/Ti(IV) as a novel naturally based catalyst was prepared, characterized and applied for the synthesis of dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives. The characterization of nano-eggshell/Ti(IV) was performed using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis. Dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles were synthesized in the presence of nano-eggshell/Ti(IV) via a four component reaction of aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile and hydrazine hydrate at room temperature under solvent free conditions. The principal affairs of this procedure are mild condition, short reaction times, easy work-up, high yields, reusability of the catalyst and the absence of toxic organic solvents.
