ABHD12 is a membrane-bound hydrolytic enzyme that acts on the lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PS) and lysophosphatidylinositol (lyso-PI) classes of immunomodulatory lipids. Human and mouse genetic studies point to a key role for the ABHD12-(lyso)-PS/PI pathway in regulating (neuro)immunological functions in both the central nervous system and periphery. Selective inhibitors of ABHD12 would offer valuable pharmacological probes to complement genetic models of ABHD12-regulated (lyso)-PS/PI metabolism and signaling. Here, we provide a detailed description of the discovery and activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) guided optimization of reversible thiourea inhibitors of ABHD12 that culminated in the identification of DO264 as a potent, selective, and in vivo active ABHD12 inhibitor. We also show that DO264, but not a structurally related inactive control probe (S)-DO271, augments inflammatory cytokine production from human THP-1 macrophage cells. The in vitro and in vivo properties of DO264 designate this compound as a suitable chemical probe for studying the biological functions of ABHD12-(lyso)-PS/PI pathways.

A practical and mild strategy has been developed for the cross-coupling of O-arylation of phenol with differently substituted aryl halides and heteroaryl iodides using low catalyst loading of copper iodide under low operating temperature in DMF with TMHD as the ligand and Cs2CO3 as the base. This method tolerates a variety of functional groups including sterically hindered phenols and heteroaryl iodides to afford products in good to excellent yields (up to 95%).

A series of substituted pyridines and purines containing 2,4-thiazolidinedione were designed and synthesized from their corresponding pyridines and purines. These synthesized compounds (entry no. 6a-d, 12a-e, 18a-d, 23a-c) were evaluated for their effect on triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells in vitro and their hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activity in the genetically diabetic KKAy mice in vivo. On the basis of their biological activities, 5-(4-{2-[N-methyl-(5-phenyl-pyridin-2-yl)amino]ethoxy} benzyl)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (6d) was selected as a candidate for further pharmacological studies.
