It is now established that the thieno[2,3-b]pyridines are a potent class of antiproliferatives. One of the main issues encountered for their clinical application is their low water solubility. In order to improve this, two strategies were pursued. First,

Zeste enhancer homolog 2 (EZH2) is highly expressed in various malignant tumors, which could silence tumor suppressor genes via trimethylation of H3K27. Herein was first reported a novel series of pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives carrying a pyridone fragment as EZH2 inhibitors. By combining computational modeling, in vitro cellular assays and further rational structure-activity relationship exploration and optimization, compound DM-01 showed powerful inhibition towards EZH2. DM-01 was found to have significant ability to reduce the cellular H3K27me3 level in K562 cells in the Western blot test. Meanwhile, our data showed that knockdown EZH2 in A549 cells resulted in a decrease of cell sensitivity to DM-01 at 50 and 100 μM. DM-01 could also increase the transcription expression of DIRAS3 in a dose-dependent manner, a tumor suppressor in the downstream of EZH2, suggesting it was worth investigating further as a lead compound.

The selective O-benzylation of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines plays a critical role in organic synthesis of natural products and biological active molecules. Herein we report a novel ternary system of ZnO, ZnCl2 and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), that is highly effective for selective O-benzylation of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines using abundant substituted benzyl halides and related substituted 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines compounds. This process allows access to a variety of O-benzyl products under mild reaction conditions, which are important synthetic intermediates in the protection of functional groups, and represents a new method toward the development for the O-benzylation of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines.
