Previous work in our laboratories has identified a series of peptidomimetic 2-pyridone molecules as modulators of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) fibrillization in vitro. As a first step toward developing molecules from this scaffold as positron emission tomography imaging agents, we were interested in evaluating their blood-brain barrier permeability in nonhuman primates (NHP) in vivo. For this purpose, 2-pyridone 12 was prepared and found to accelerate α-syn fibrillization in vitro. Acid 12, and its acetoxymethyl ester analogue 14, were then radiolabeled with 11C (t1/2 = 20.4 min) at high radiochemical purity (>99%) and high specific radioactivity (>37 GBq/μmol). Following intravenous injection of each compound in NHP, a 4-fold higher radioactivity in brain was observed for [11C]14 compared to [11C]12 (0.8 vs 0.2 SUV, respectively). [11C]14 was rapidly eliminated from plasma, with [11C]12 as the major metabolic product observed by radio-HPLC. The presented prodrug approach paves the way for future development of 2-pyridones as imaging biomarkers for in vivo imaging of α-synuclein deposits in brain.

We report an extensive structure-activity relationship optimization of polysubstituted pyrimidines that led to the discovery of 5-butyl-4-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyrimidin-2-amine, and its difluorinated analogue. These compounds are sub-micromolar inh

Herein we describe an iron-catalyzed borylation of alkenyl and aryl carbamates through the activation of a C-O bond. This protocol exhibits high efficiency, a broad substrate scope, and the late-stage borylation of biorelevant compounds, thus providing potential applications in medicinal chemistry. Moreover, this method enables orthogonal transformations of phenol derivatives and also offers good opportunities for the synthesis of multisubstituted arenes. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a FeII/FeIII catalytic cycle via a radical pathway might be involved in the reaction.
