Abstract:
Gapmers or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the gapmers and methods of making the gapmers are provided. The gapmers include a gap region that contains deoxyribonucleosides linked to each other by phosphorothioate bonds, a 5′ wing region positioned at the 5′ end of the gap region that contains morpholino monomers linked to each other by phosphorodiamidate bonds, and a 3′ wing region positioned at the 3′ end of the gap region that contains morpholino monomers linked to each other by phosphorodiamidate bonds. Antisense oligonucleotides are also provided. These antisense oligonucleotides are useful in the preparation of gapmers for inhibition of Tau mRNA transcription.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for the synthesis of a halichondrin macrolides or analogs thereof through a cyclization reaction strategy. The strategy of the present invention involves subjecting an intermediate to Prins reaction conditions to afford a macrolide. The invention also provides compounds useful as intermediates in the synthesis of a halichondrin macrolides or analogs thereof and methods for preparing the same.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for the synthesis of eribulin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., eribulin mesylate) through a macrocyclization strategy. The macrocyclization strategy of the present invention involves subjecting a non-macrocyclic intermediate to a carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction (e.g., an olefination reaction (e.g., Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination), Dieckmann reaction, catalytic Ring-Closing Olefin Metathesis, or Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction) to afford a macrocyclic intermediate. The invention also provides compounds useful as intermediates in the synthesis of eribulin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and methods for preparing the same.
Abstract:
Provided are compounds and methods useful for the preparation of compounds useful as inhibitors of beta-site amyloid precursor protein (APP)-cleaving enzyme.
