Serine, the source of the one-carbon units essential for de novo purine and deoxythymidine synthesis plays a crucial role in the growth of cancer cells. Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) which catalyzes the first, rate-limiting step in de novo serine biosynthesis has become a promising target for the cancer treatment. Here we identified H-G6 as a potential PHGDH inhibitor from the screening of an in-house small molecule library based on the enzymatic assay. We adopted activity-directed combinatorial chemical synthesis strategy to optimize this hit compound. Compound b36 was found to be the noncompetitive and the most promising one with IC50 values of 5.96 ± 0.61 μM against PHGDH. Compound b36 inhibited the proliferation of human breast cancer and ovarian cancer cells, reduced intracellular serine synthesis, damaged DNA synthesis, and induced cell cycle arrest. Collectively, our results suggest that b36 is a novel PHGDH inhibitor, which could be a promising modulator to reprogram the serine synthesis pathway and might be a potential anticancer lead worth further exploration.

A fully stereoselective synthesis of unnatural chiral β-aryl-β-pyrazolyl α-amino acid esters via copper-catalyzed addition reactions of azomethine ylides with benzylidenepyrazolones bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers was developed. A 1H-pyrazol-5-ol was introduced by the aromatization of 3H-pyrazol-3-one in the reaction. The transformation operated at room temperature and afforded β-1H-pyrazol-5-ol-α-amino esters in high yields with good to excellent levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

A palladium N-heterocyclic carbene [Pd(NHC)Cl2] complex of vitamin B1 developed earlier in our laboratory was successfully employed as an efficient catalyst for the regioselective C-C and C-N functionalization reactions of 1-aryl-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-ones 1a-b. The catalyst was attempted for the C-H arylation, acylation and alkoxylation of 1a-b using the respective coupling substrates such as aryl iodides 2a-c, benzylic alcohols 3a-d and methanol/ethanol 4. It was surprisingly noted that the acylation and alkoxylation reactions underwent a diverse pathway to yield some unexpected products rather than the targeted ones. In the case of the arylation reactions only the targeted products have been observed. This has made the protocol very interesting compared to the conventional coupling reactions.
