Abstract
The first section of this thesis describes the photooxygenation of a thienopyridone to generate a potent, novel PTP4A3 inhibitor bearing an iminopyridinedione pharmacophore. A scalable flow process was developed to facilitate throughput of the lead inhibitor JMS-053 and to enable structure-activity-relationship studies in collaboration with a fellow researcher, and a convergent imination was implemented to simplify purification of final products. Several analogs were synthesized and are described, and a preliminary binding pose is proposed.
The second section describes the total syntheses of several ergot, clavine, and unnatural alkaloids and a C(3) indole alkylation methodology. The methyl lysergates, which are direct precursors to tetracyclic ergot and clavine alkaloids, are synthesized in four steps (28% overall yield). An expedited synthesis delivers methyl lysergates with only one chromatographic purification. A transition metal-free Hydrogen Autotransfer (HA) reaction to alkylate C(3) of indole was discovered, developed, and implemented in the synthesis, and the mechanism of this transformation was investigated. The rapid synthesis was expanded to several alkaloids, including lysergic acid, lysergol, isolysergol, lysergene, lysergine, isolysergine, and festuclavine. Structural isomers of the clavine alkaloids were discovered during these efforts, and the scaffolds were expanded to lysergic acid diethylamide and lysergol analogs. Studies toward developing an asymmetric synthesis of the methyl lysergates are detailed. Finally, several alkaloids and unnatural products were evaluated for their ability to bind and activate 5-HT receptors.
