ABSTRACT
N-type calcium channels (Ca(v)2.2) have been shown to play a critical role in pain. A series of low molecular weight 2-aryl indoles were identified as potent Ca(v)2.2 blockers with good in vitro and in vivo potency.

Voltage-gated sodium channels have been shown to play a critical role in neuropathic pain. A series of low molecular weight biaryl substituted pyrazole carboxamides were identified with good in-vitro potency and in-vivo efficacy. Compound 26, a Nav1.7 blocker has excellent efficacy in the Chung model of neuropathic pain.

Voltage-gated sodium channels have been shown to play a critical role in neuropathic pain. With a goal to develop potent peripherally active sodium channel blockers, a series of low molecular weight biaryl substituted imidazoles, oxazoles, and thiazole carboxamides were identified with good in vitro and in vivo potency.

[reaction: see text] In model studies directed to the total synthesis of Et743, a strategic S-C bond formation in systems 26 and 27 was demonstrated. It was further shown that Pictet-Spengler cyclization leading to spiro product 33 exhibits very high stereoselection.

An "sp2 -sp3 Stille coupling" of the vinyl triflate 1 and the stannyl compound 2 is a key step toward the completion of the total synthesis of eleutherobin, a natural product exhibiting taxol-like cytotoxic activity.

We report the enantioselective total synthesis of cribrostatin IV (1). Key features of this synthesis involve the convergent coupling of two highly functionalized homochiral components followed by a "lynchpin" Mannich cyclization to establish the pentacyclic core (cf. 19 --> 20).
