- Discovery and Lead-Optimization of 4,5-Dihydropyrazoles as Mono-Kinase Selective, Orally Bioavailable and Efficacious Inhibitors of Receptor Interacting Protein 1 (RIP1) Kinase
-
RIP1 kinase regulates necroptosis and inflammation and may play an important role in contributing to a variety of human pathologies, including inflammatory and neurological diseases. Currently, RIP1 kinase inhibitors have advanced into early clinical trials for evaluation in inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis and neurological diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. In this paper, we report on the design of potent and highly selective dihydropyrazole (DHP) RIP1 kinase inhibitors starting from a high-throughput screen and the lead-optimization of this series from a lead with minimal rat oral exposure to the identification of dihydropyrazole 77 with good pharmacokinetic profiles in multiple species. Additionally, we identified a potent murine RIP1 kinase inhibitor 76 as a valuable in vivo tool molecule suitable for evaluating the role of RIP1 kinase in chronic models of disease. DHP 76 showed efficacy in mouse models of both multiple sclerosis and human retinitis pigmentosa.

- Regioselective Addition of Grignard Reagents to 1-Acylpyridinium Salts. A Convenient Method for the Synthesis of 4-Alkyl(aryl)pyridines
-
The addition of Grignard reagents to 1-acylpyridinium salts afforded 1-acyl-2-alkyl(aryl)-1,2-dihydropyridines and 1-acyl-4-alkyl(aryl)-1,4-dihydropyridines.The regioselectivity of this reaction, 1,2- vs. 1,4-addition, was examined and found to be dependent upon the structures of the Grignard reagent and the 1-acyl group.Pyridine, 2-picoline, and 3-picoline were studied, and in most cases, significant amounts of 1,4-addition occurred.When a catalytic amount of cuprous iodide was present, nearly exclusive 1,4-addition resulted.The crude 1,4-dihydropyridines were aromatized by heating with sulfur to provide 4-substituted pyridines and picolines in good yield and high isomeric purity.
