- Structure activity relationships of αv integrin antagonists for pulmonary fibrosis by variation in aryl substituents
Antagonism of αvβ6 is emerging as a potential treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis based on strong target validation. Starting from an αvβ3 antagonist lead and through simple variation in the nature and position of the aryl substituent, the discovery of compounds with improved αvβ6 activity is described. The compounds also have physicochemical properties commensurate with oral bioavailability and are high quality starting points for a drug discovery program. Compounds 33S and 43E1 are pan αv antagonists having ca. 100 nM potency against αvβ3, αvβ5, αvβ6, and αvβ8 in cell adhesion assays. Detailed structure activity relationships with these integrins are described which also reveal substituents providing partial selectivity (defined as at least a 0.7 log difference in pIC50 values between the integrins in question) for αvβ3 and αvβ5.

- Organosilicon synthesis of isocyanates: III. Synthesis of aliphatic, carbocyclic, aromatic, and alkylaromatic isocyanatocatboxylic acid esters
A series of aminoacid esters was prepared by treating the aminoacid suspensions in ethanol with thionyl chloride. Best conversion of aminoacid esters to corresponding isocyanates was achieved in the case of aromatic and carbocyclic aminoesters by phosgeneation of their N-silyl derivatives, and in the case of aliphatic and alkylaromatic aminoesters by phosgeneation of O-silyl or N,O-bissilylurethanes on their basis. In the last case additional step of esterification of the by-products isocyanatoalkylcarboxylic acid chlorides is required after phosgeneation. Unusual generation of cynnamates and intramolecular N→O-migration of trimethylsilyl group in the solutions of silylated alkylaromatic β-aminoacid esters were found. Pleiades Publishing, Inc., 2006.

- New access to racemic β3-amino acids
A general simple procedure having the potential for large scale preparations of racemic β3-amino acids has been developed. The procedure involves base-catalyzed Michael-type addition of sodium diethyl malonate to N-Boc-α-amidoalkyl-p-tolyl sulfones in tetrahydrofuran. Hydrolysis of the adducts by refluxing with 6 M aqueous hydrochloric acid affords β3-amino acid hydrochlorides in high yield and excellent purity.
