RESUMO
In the title solvated crystal, C8H5Br2NO3·C3H8O, the acid mol-ecules form inversion dimers by pairwise N-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds between carbamoyl groups and the carboxyl and carbamoyl groups link to form head-to-tail inversion dimers. The 2-propanol hydroxyl group inter-poses between adjacent head-tail pairs, resulting in C 3 3(10) chains of hydrogen bonds propagating along [100]. The mol-ecules of 2-propanol are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.598â (8):0.402â (8) ratio. The best-fit planes of the carbamoyl group and benzene ring are inclined by 88.26â (11)°. This is a greater inclination than was previously reported with CH3, Cl, F or H in place of the Br atoms, although those analogues did not have a para carboxyl group.
RESUMO
The title crystals, C9H5Br2NO2, are the first reported 2,6-dihalophenyl cyanide-isocyanide pair that have neither three- nor two-dimensional isomorphism. Both crystals contain contacts between the carbonyl O atom and a Br atom. In the crystal of the cyanide, R22(10) inversion dimers form based on C≡Nâ¯Br contacts, a common packing feature in this series of crystals. In the isocyanide, the corresponding N≡Câ¯Br contacts are not observed. Instead, the iso-cyano C atom forms contacts with the meth-oxy C atom. RNC was refined as a two-component pseudo-merohedral twin.
RESUMO
Chemical inhibition of epigenetic regulatory proteins BrdT and Brd4 is emerging as a promising therapeutic strategy in contraception, cancer, and heart disease. We report an easily synthesized dihydropyridopyrimidine pan-BET inhibitor scaffold, which was uncovered via a virtual screen followed by testing in a fluorescence anisotropy assay. Dihydropyridopyimidine 3 was subjected to further characterization and is highly selective for the BET family of bromodomains. Structure-activity relationship data and ligand deconstruction highlight the importance of the substitution of the uracil moiety for potency and selectivity. Compound 3 was also cocrystallized with Brd4 for determining the ligand binding pose and rationalizing subsequent structure-activity data. An additional series of dihydropyridopyrimidines was synthesized to exploit the proximity of a channel near the ZA loop of Brd4, leading to compounds with submicromolar affinity and cellular target engagement. Given these findings, novel and easily synthesized inhibitors are being introduced to the growing field of bromodomain inhibitor development.
