Therapeutic modulation of the bile acid-sensing transcription factor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is an appealing strategy to counteract hepatic and metabolic diseases. Despite the availability of several highly potent FXR agonists structural diversity of FXR modulators is limited, and new ligand scaffolds are needed. Here we report structure-activity relationship elucidation of a new FXR modulator chemotype whose activity can be tuned between agonism and antagonism by two minor structural modifications. Starting from a weak FXR/PPAR agonist, we have developed selective FXR activators and antagonists with nanomolar to low-micromolar potencies and binding affinities. The new FXR ligand chemotype modulates the FXR activity in the native cellular setting, is endowed with favorable metabolic stability, and lacks cytotoxicity. It valuably expands the collection of FXR modulators as a new scaffold for FXR-targeted drug discovery.
Copper-catalyzed and additive free decarboxylative trifluoromethylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic iodides

A copper-catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylation of (hetero)aromatic iodides has been developed. Importantly, this new copper-catalyzed reaction operates in the absence of any ligands and metal additives. The protocol shows good functional group tolerance and is compatible with heteroaromatic systems. The reaction proved scalable to a 15 mmol scale with increased yield. Finally, late-stage installation of the trifluoromethyl functionality afforded the N-trifluoroacetamide variant of the antidepressant agent, Prozac, demonstrating the applicability of the developed method.
Novel and highly efficient preparation of pyrroles using supported ionic liquid ILCF3SO3@SiO2 as a heterogeneous catalyst

Abstract: A supported ionic liquid ILCF3SO3@SiO2 was synthesized and used as a highly efficient catalyst in the Paal–Knorr reaction for the preparation of pyrroles. The heterogeneous catalyst could be easily recovered and recycled for five times without noticeable loss of catalytic activity. Also a possible reaction mechanism is provided.
