RESUMEN
Mitsunobu reactions were employed to link t-butyl esters of α4 integrin inhibitors at each of the termini of a three-arm, 40 kDa, branched PEG. Cleavage of the t-butyl esters using HCO2H provided easily isolated PEG derivatives, which are potent α4 integrin inhibitors, and which achieve sustained levels and bioactivity in vivo, following subcutaneous administration to rats.

The 4-isoxazolyl-dihydropyridines (IDHPs) exhibit inhibition of the multidrug-resistance transporter (MDR-1), and exhibit an SAR distinct from their activity at voltage gated calcium channels (VGCC). Among the four most active IDHPs, three were branched at C-5 of the isoxazole, including the most active analog, 1k.

In this Letter, we describe the discovery of selective JNK2 and JNK3 inhibitors, such as 10, that routinely exhibit >10-fold selectivity over JNK1 and >1000-fold selectivity over related MAPKs, p38α and ERK2. Substitution of the naphthalene ring affords an isoform selective JNK3 inhibitor, 30, with approximately 10-fold selectivity over both JNK1 and JNK2. A naphthalene ring penetrates deep into the selectivity pocket accounting for the differentiation amongst the kinases. Interestingly, the gatekeeper Met146 sulfide interacts with the naphthalene ring in a sulfur-π stacking interaction. Compound 38 ameliorates neurotoxicity induced by amyloid-ß in human cortical neurons. Lastly, we demonstrate how to install propitious in vitro CNS-like properties into these selective inhibitors.

The SAR of a series of brain penetrant, trisubstituted thiophene based JNK inhibitors with improved pharmacokinetic properties is described. These compounds were designed based on information derived from metabolite identification studies which led to compounds such as 42 with lower clearance, greater brain exposure and longer half life compared to earlier analogs.

Herein, we describe our strategy to design metabolically stable γ-secretase inhibitors which are selective for inhibition of Aß generation over Notch. We highlight our synthetic strategy to incorporate diversity and chirality. Compounds 30 (ELND006) and 34 (ELND007) both entered human clinical trials. The in vitro and in vivo characteristics for these two compounds are described. A comparison of inhibition of Aß generation in vivo between 30, 34, Semagacestat 41, Begacestat 42, and Avagacestat 43 in mice is made. 30 lowered Aß in the CSF of healthy human volunteers.

Antibody microarrays have the potential to revolutionize protein expression profiling. The intensity of specific signal produced on a feature of such an array is related to the amount of analyte that is captured from the biological mixture by the immobilized antibody (the "capture agent"). This in turn is a function of the surface density and fractional activity of the capture agents. Here we investigate how these two factors are affected by the orientation of the capture agents on the surface. We compare randomly versus specifically oriented capture agents based on both full-sized antibodies and Fab' fragments. Each comparison was performed using three different antibodies and two types of streptavidin-coated monolayer surfaces. The specific orientation of capture agents consistently increases the analyte-binding capacity of the surfaces, with up to 10-fold improvements over surfaces with randomly oriented capture agents. Surface plasmon resonance revealed a dense monolayer of Fab' fragments that are on average 90% active when specifically oriented. Randomly attached Fab's could not be packed at such a high density and generally also had a lower specific activity. These results emphasize the importance of attaching proteins to surfaces such that their binding sites are oriented toward the solution phase.
