Introduction: Survivin is a nodal protein involved in several cellular pathways. It is a member of the IAP family and an integral component of the chromosomal passenger complex, where it binds to borealin and INCENP through its dimerization interface. By targeting survivin with a small molecule at its dimerization interface, inhibition of the proliferation of cancer cells has been suggested. With Abbott 8, a small-molecul e dimerization inhibitor has been recently reported. The structure–activity relationship of this series of inhibitors implied that the middle pyridin-2(1H)-one ring did not tolerate modifications of any kind. Methods: Based on the synthetic strategy of Abbott 8 using multicomponent reactions, we synthesized a series of small molecules bearing a novel rigidized core scaffold. This rigidization strategy was accomplished by integrating the pyridin-2(1H)-one and its 6-phenyl substituent into a tricyclic structure, linking position 5 of pyridin-2(1H)-one to the phenyl substituent by rings of different sizes. The new scaffolds were designed based on in silico molecular dynamics of survivin. Results: Binding of these rigidized scaffolds to the recombinant L54M mutant of survivin was evaluated, revealing affinities in the low micromolar range. Conclusion: This easily accessible, new class of survivin-dimerization modulators is an interesting starting point for further lead optimization.

Chemical transformations that install heteroatoms into C?H bonds are of significant interest because they streamline the construction of value-added small molecules. Direct C?H oxyfunctionalization, or the one step conversion of a C?H bond to a C?O bond, could be a highly enabling transformation due to the prevalence of the resulting enantioenriched alcohols in pharmaceuticals and natural products,. Here we report a single-flask photoredox/enzymatic process for direct C?H hydroxylation that proceeds with broad reactivity, chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity. This unified strategy advances general photoredox and enzymatic catalysis synergy and enables chemoenzymatic processes for powerful and selective oxidative transformations.

The present invention relates to benzothiazole compounds that mimic the activity of BH3 only proteins and are capable of binding to and neutralizing pro survival Bcl 2 proteins. The invention also relates to the use of such compounds in the regulation of cell death or cell survival and the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases or conditions associated with the deregulation of cell death or cell survival.
