6-bromo-n-(3-(difluoromethyl)phenyl)quinolin-4-amine
No full textA routine synthesis was performed to furnish the title compound which incorporates a versatile difluoromethyl group on the aniline substitution of a 4-anilinoquinoline kinase inhibitor motif. In addition, the small molecule crystal structure (of the HCL salt) was solved, which uncovered that the difluoromethyl group was disordered within the packing arrangement and also a 126.08(7)_out of plane character between the respective ring systems within the molecule. The compound was fully characterized with 1H/13C-NMR and high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS), with the procedures described.</p
6-Bromo-N-(2-methyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-5-yl)quinolin-4-amine
No full textWe describe a straightforward synthesis of the title compound, incorporating a relatively rare 2-methyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole heterocylic motif as a potential kinase inhibitor motif. The small molecule crystal structure has been resolved, revealing an interesting packing arrangement and overall conformation. We also performed routine characterization with 1H/13C-NMR and liquid chromatography (LC) and high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS)
New insights into 4-anilinoquinazolines as inhibitors of cardiac troponin I-interacting kinase (TNNI3K)
No full textWe report the synthesis of several related 4-anilinoquinazolines as inhibitors of cardiac troponin I-interacting kinase (TNNi3K). These close structural analogs of 3-((6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-4-yl)amino)-4-(dimethylamino)-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide (GSK114) provide new understanding of structure-activity relationships between the 4-anilinoquinazoline scaffold and TNNi3K inhibition. Through a small focused library of inhibitors, we observed that the N-methylbenzenesulfonamide was driving the potency in addition to the more traditional quinazoline hinge-binding motif. We also identified a compound devoid of TNNi3K kinase activity due to the addition of a methyl group in the hinge binding region. This compound could serve as a negative control in the study of TNNi3K biology. Small molecule crystal structures of several quinazolines have been solved, supporting observations made about overall conformation and TNNi3K inhibition.</p
Exploration and Development of a C–H-Activated Route to Access the [1,2]Dithiolo[4,3-b]indole-3(4H)-thione Core and Related Derivatives
Full text linkA robust procedure for the production of [1,2]dithiolo[4,3-b]indole-3(4H)-thione analogues using a DABCO/S2Cl2 complex as a sulfur source via a C–H activated approach
Targeting an EGFR water network with 4-anilinoquin(az)oline inhibitors for chordoma
No full textQuinoline- and quinazoline-based kinase inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been used to target non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and chordomas with varying amounts of success. We designed and prepared compounds to probe several key structural features including an interaction with Asp855 within the EGFR DGF motif and interactions with the active site water network. EGFR target engagement was then evaluated in a cellular assay, with the inhibitors then profiled in representative cellular models of NSCLC and chordomas. In addition, structure–activity relationship insight into EGFR inhibitor design with potent dimethoxyquin(az)olines identified compounds 1 [N-(3-ethynylphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxyquinolin-4-amine], 4 [N-(3-ethynylphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-4-amine], and 7 [4-((3-ethynylphenyl)amino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline-3-carbonitrile]. We also identified 6,7-dimethoxy-N-(4-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)quinolin-4-amine (compound 18), which is the most potent inhibitor (IC50=310 nm) of the UCH-2 chordoma cell line to date.</p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Novel epidithiodiketopiperazines as anti-viral zinc ejectors of the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) nucleocapsid protein as a model for HIV infection
Full text linkFocused libraries of multi-substituted epidithiodiketopiperazines (ETP) were prepared and evaluated for efficacy of inhibiting the nucleocapsid protein function of the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) as a model for HIV. This activity was compared and contrasted to observed toxicity utilising an in-vitro cell culture approach. This resulted in the identification of several promising lead compounds with nanomolar potency in cells with low toxicity and a favorable therapeutic index
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
