摘要:
Disclosed are inhibitors of the serine/threonine kinase Akt, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such inhibitors, and a method of preventing or treating a disease or condition in an animal by the use of such inhibitors. The Akt inhibitors have the formula (I) wherein X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of O, CF2, CH2, and CHF; wherein A is independently selected from the group consisting of P(O)OH, CH2000H, and CH(COOH)2; R2 is selected from the group consisting of H, OH, isosteres of OH, C1-C25 alkyloxy, C6-C10 aryloxy, C3-C8 cycloalkyloxy, C3-C8 cycloalkyl C1-C6 alkoxy, C2-C22 alkenyloxy, C3-C8 cycloalkenyloxy, C7-C32 aralkyloxy, C7-C32 alkylaryloxy, C9-C32 aralkenyloxy, and C9-C32 alkenylaryloxy; R3-R6 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, OH, isosteres of OH; and R1 and R7 are independently selected from the group consisting of C1-C25 alkyl, C6-C10 aryl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, C2-C22 alkenyl, C3-C8 cycloalkenyl, C7-C32 aralkyl, C7-C32 alkylaryl, C9-C32 aralkenyl, and C9-C32 alkenylaryl; with the provisos that (i) when X is O, Y is O or CH2, and R3 is H, at least one of R2 and R4-R6 is not OH; (ii) when A is CH2COOH or CH(COOH)2, X and Y cannot be simultaneously O; and (iii) all of R2-R6 are not simultaneously H. The inhibitors can be in the form of a salt also
摘要:
Various processes are disclosed for preparing protected epicatechin oligomers having (4β,8)-interflavan linkages. In one process, a tetra-O-protected epicatechin monomer or oligomer is coupled with a protected, C-4 activated epicatechin monomer in the presence of an acidic clay such as a mortmorillonite clay. In another process, a 5,7,3′,4′-benzyl protected or a 3-acetyl-, 5,7,3′,4′-benzyl protected epicatechin or catechin monomer or oligomer is reacted with 3-O-acetyl-4-[(2-benzothiazolyl)thio]-5,7,3′,4′-tetra-O-benzylepicatechin in the presence of silver tetrafluoroborate. In another process, two 5,7,3′,4′-benzyl protected epicatechin monomers activated with 2-(benzothiazolyl)thio groups at the C-4 positions are cross-coupled in the presence of silver tetrofluoroborate. A process is also disclosed for reacting an unprotected epicatechin or catechin monomer with 4-(benzylthio)epicatechin or catechin. The use of naturally-derived and synthetically-prepared procyanidin (4β,8)4-pentamers to treat cancer is also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the preparation and biological activity of 3-deoxy-Dmyo-inositol ether lipid analogs as inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase signaling and cancer cell growth. The compounds of the present invention are useful as anti-tumor 5 agents which effectively inhibit the growth of mammalian cells.
摘要:
Oligomeric procyanidins containing 4&agr;-linked epicatechin units are rare in nature and have hitherto not been accessible through stereoselective synthesis. Provided herein is the preparation of the prototypical dimer, epicatechin-4&agr;,8-epicatechin, by reaction of the protected 4-ketones with aryllithium reagents derived by halogen/metal exchange from the aryl bromides. Removal of the 4-hydroxyl group from the resulting tertiary benzylic alcohols is effected by tri-n-butyltin hydride and trifluoroacetic acid in a completely stereoselective manner, resulting in hydride delivery exclusively from the &bgr; face.
摘要:
The invention provides a compound of formula (I): wherein R1, R2, R3, and Y have any of the meanings defined in the specification; as well a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula I; intermediates and methods useful for preparing a compound of formula I; and therapeutic methods for treating drug addiction, Parkinson's disease or depression comprising administering a compound of formula I, to a mammal in need of such treatment.
