Synthesis of the Cortistatin Pentacyclic Core by Alkoxide-Directed Metallacycle-Mediated Annulative Cross-Coupling

The pentacyclic core skeleton of the cortistatins has been prepared in a stereoselective fashion by strategic use of an alkoxide-directed metallacycle-mediated annulative cross-coupling. This metal-centered tandem reaction delivers a polyunsaturated hydrindane and establishes the C13 stereodefined quaternary center with high levels of stereocontrol. Subsequent regio- and stereoselective global hydroboration results in the realization of the DE-<i>trans</i> ring fusion and a tertiary alcohol at C8. Establishment of the ABC-tricyclic subunit was then accomplished through phenolic oxidation/<i>trans</i>-acetalization, chemoselective reduction, regioselective cleavage, and intramolecular alkylation at C5

Enabling Asymmetric Synthesis of ABBV-3748, a Corrector Compound for the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis

ABBV-3748 is a C2 corrector for the treatment of cystic fibrosis profiled among AbbVie’s CFTR portfolio. A decagram-scale enabling asymmetric synthesis is described which addresses numerous shortcomings of the original route. Highlights include an InBr3-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation reaction that rapidly assembles the chromane core, an exceptionally efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of a primary enamide, and identification of tBuMgCl as a uniquely effective base in a challenging acyl sulfonamide formation

Discovery of Small Molecule Interleukin 17A Inhibitors with Novel Binding Mode and Stoichiometry: Optimization of DNA-Encoded Chemical Library Hits to In Vivo Active Compounds

Dysregulation of IL17A drives numerous inflammatory and autoimmune disorders with inhibition of IL17A using antibodies proven as an effective treatment. Oral anti-IL17 therapies are an attractive alternative option, and several preclinical small molecule IL17 inhibitors have previously been described. Herein, we report the discovery of a novel class of small molecule IL17A inhibitors, identified via a DNA-encoded chemical library screen, and their subsequent optimization to provide in vivo efficacious inhibitors. These new protein–protein interaction (PPI) inhibitors bind in a previously undescribed mode in the IL17A protein with two copies binding symmetrically to the central cavities of the IL17A homodimer
