RESUMEN
The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel 3-aryl-indazole derivatives as peripherally selective pan-Trk inhibitors are described. Three strategies were used to obtain a potent compound exhibiting low central nervous system (CNS) penetration and high plasma exposure: 1) a structure-based drug design (SBDD) approach was used to improve potency; 2) a substrate for an efflux transporter for lowering brain penetration was explored; and 3) the most basic pKa (pKa-MB) value was used as an indicator to identify compounds with good membrane permeability. This enabled the identification of the peripherally targeted 17c with the potency, kinase-selectivity, and plasma exposure required to demonstrate in vivo efficacy in a Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced thermal hypersensitivity model.

Miuraenamides A and D, cyclodepsipeptides with antimicrobial and antitumor activity, were synthesized. The synthesis of an unsaturated hydroxycarboxylic acid moiety, starting from a chiral epoxide, was achieved by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling as a key step. As a result, the overall yield for miuraenamide A over the longest linear sequence is 3.2%, while the yield of the previously reported procedure is 1.9%. In addition, the cell growth-inhibitory activity and anti-Phytophthora activity of the synthesized compounds were evaluated.
