The first nickel-catalyzed oxidative domino Csp3-H/N-H double isocyanide insertion reaction of acetamides with isocyanides has been developed for the synthesis of pyrrolin-2-one derivatives. A wide range of acetamides bearing various functional groups are compatible with this reaction system by utilizing Ni(acac)2as a catalyst. In this transformation, isocyanide could serve as a C1 connector and insert into the inactive Csp3-H bond, representing an effective way to construct heterocycles.

Aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1C3 catalyzes the synthesis of active androgens that promote the progression of prostate cancer. AKR1C3 also contributes to androgen-independent cell proliferation and survival through the metabolism of prostaglandins and reactive aldehydes. Because of its elevation in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) tissues, AKR1C3 is a promising therapeutic target for CRPC. In this study, we found a novel potent AKR1C3 inhibitor, N-(4-fluorophenyl)-8-hydroxy-2-imino-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide (2d), and synthesized its derivatives with IC50 values of 25-56 nM and >220-fold selectivity over other AKRs (1C1, 1C2, and 1C4). The structural factors for the inhibitory potency were elucidated by crystallographic study of AKR1C3 complexes with 2j and 2l. The inhibitors suppressed proliferation of prostate cancer 22Rv1 and PC3 cells through both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent mechanisms. Additionally, 2j and 2l prevented prostate tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model. Furthermore, the inhibitors significantly augmented apoptotic cell death induced by anti-CRPC drugs (abiraterone or enzalutamide).
Substituted 2-Acylaminocycloalkylthiophene-3-carboxylic Acid Arylamides as Inhibitors of the Calcium-Activated Chloride Channel Transmembrane Protein 16A (TMEM16A)

Transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A), also called anoctamin 1 (ANO1), is a calcium-activated chloride channel expressed widely mammalian cells, including epithelia, vascular smooth muscle tissue, electrically excitable cells, and some tumors. TMEM16A inhibitors have been proposed for treatment of disorders of epithelial fluid and mucus secretion, hypertension, asthma, and possibly cancer. Herein we report, by screening, the discovery of 2-acylaminocycloalkylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid arylamides (AACTs) as inhibitors of TMEM16A and analysis of 48 synthesized analogs (10ab-10bw) of the original AACT compound (10aa). Structure-activity studies indicated the importance of benzene substituted as 2- or 4-methyl, or 4-fluoro, and defined the significance of thiophene substituents and size of the cycloalkylthiophene core. The most potent compound (10bm), which contains an unusual bromodifluoroacetamide at the thiophene 2-position, had IC50 of ~30 nM, ~3.6-fold more potent than the most potent previously reported TMEM16A inhibitor 4 (Ani9), and >10-fold improved metabolic stability. Direct and reversible inhibition of TMEM16A by 10bm was demonstrated by patch-clamp analysis. AACTs may be useful as pharmacological tools to study TMEM16A function and as potential drug development candidates.
