Functionalization of aromatic compounds by acylation has considerable significance in synthetic organic chemistry. As an alternative to chemical Friedel-Crafts acylation, the C-acyltransferase from Pseudomonas protegens has been found to catalyze C?C bond formation with non-natural resorcinol substrates. Extending the scope of acyl donors, it is now shown that the enzyme is also able to catalyze C?S bond cleavage prior to C?C bond formation, thus aliphatic and aromatic thioesters can be used as acyl donors. It is worth to mention that this reaction can be performed in aqueous buffer. Identifying ethyl thioacetate as the most suitable acetyl donor, the products were obtained with up to >99 % conversion and up to 88 % isolated yield without using additional base additives; this represents a significant advancement to prior protocols.
Discovery and SAR study of hydroxyacetophenone derivatives as potent, non-steroidal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) antagonists

Compound 1 (IC50 = 35.2 ± 7.2 μM), a moderate FXR antagonist was discovered via high-throughput screening. Structure-activity relationship studies indicated that the shape and the lipophilicity of the substituents of the aromatic ring affect the activity dramatically, increasing the shape and the lipophilicity of the substituents of the aromatic ring enhances the potency of FXR antagonists. Especially, when the OH at C2 position of the aromatic ring was replaced by the OBn substituent (analog 2b), its activity could be improved to IC50 = 1.1 ± 0.1 μM. Besides, the length of the linker and the tetrazole structure are essential for retaining the activity.

A series of hydroxyacetophenones was prepared for evaluation as leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonists, culminating in 1-oxy>phenyl>ethanone (compound 35, LY255283).Using an assay for inhibition of specific LTB4 binding to human PMN, we found that substitution of a nonpolar substituent in the 5-position was required for activity.Best activity was realized with hydrogen in the 3-position, hydroxyl in the 2-position, short chain alkyl ketone in the 1-position, and a six- or eight-carbon chain linking the oxygen in the 4-position with an unsaturated terminal function.Compound 35, having an IC50 of 87 nM in the binding assay, was chosen for further preclinical evaluation.
