Article: Solid phase synthesis of novel pyrrolidinedione analogs as potent HIV-1 integrase inhibitors.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel series of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors were identified from a 100 member (4R(1) x 5R(2) x 5R(3)) library of pyrrolidinedione amides. A solid-phase route was developed which facilitates the simultaneous variation at R(1), R(2), and R(3) of the pyrrolidinedione scaffold. The resulting library samples were assayed for HIV-1 integrase activity and analyzed to determine the R(1), R(2), and R(3) reagent contributions towards the activity.Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry 11/2009; 12(1):84-90. · 3.41 Impact Factor -
Article: Benzyl amide-ketoacid inhibitors of HIV-integrase.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Integrase is one of three enzymes expressed by HIV and represents a validated target for therapy. Previous reports have demonstrated that the diketoacid-based chemotype is a useful starting point for the design of inhibitors of this enzyme. In this study, one of the ketone groups is replaced by a benzylamide resulting in a new potent chemotype. A preliminary SAR study is carried out to investigate the substitution requirements on the phenyl ring and methylene group of the benzylamide.Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 10/2007; 17(17):4886-90. · 2.55 Impact Factor -
Article: Synthesis and antibacterial activity of nocathiacin I analogues.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Stereoselective reduction of dehydroalanine double bond in nocathiacin I afforded the primary amide 2. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the amide 2 provided the carboxylic acid 3, which upon coupling with a variety of amines furnished amides 4-32. Some of these semi-synthetic derivatives have retained very good antibacterial activity and have improved aqueous solubility.Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 08/2006; 16(13):3545-9. · 2.55 Impact Factor -

Article: Novel semi-synthetic nocathiacin antibiotics: synthesis and antibacterial activity of bis- and mono-O-alkylated derivatives.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Several semi-synthetic bis- and mono-O-alkyl nocathiacin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity. Mono-O-alkyl N-hydroxyindole analogues 3a-l were prepared by regioselective alkylation. Bis-O-alkyl nocathiacins 4a-f were obtained by treatment with base and excess electrophile. A one-pot protection-alkylation-deprotection strategy was developed for the preparation of mono-O-alkyl hydroxypyridine analogues 5a,b. Most of the bis- and mono-O-alkyl nocathiacins maintained good in vitro activity but showed reduced in vivo efficacy when compared with the natural product. The excellent in vivo activity and improved water solubility of phosphate analogues 3m and 4g suggest their use as potential pro-drugs.Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 02/2004; 14(1):171-5. · 2.55 Impact Factor -
Article: Michael addition of amines and thiols to dehydroalanine amides: a remarkable rate acceleration in water.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In water, the rate of Michael addition of amines and thiols to dehydroalanine amides was greatly accelerated, leading to shorter reaction times and higher yields. The scope of the new conditions was tested with a range of amines, thiols, and dehydroalanine amides. The ease and efficiency of this method provides an attractive route to the synthesis of natural and unnatural amino acid derivatives.The Journal of Organic Chemistry 01/2004; 68(26):10098-102. · 4.45 Impact Factor
