Nedometinib (NFX-179) is a specific MEK1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 135 nM. Nedometinib inhibits p-ERK, MAPK. Nedometinib exerts anticancer activity against squamous cell carcinoma. Nedometinib can be used for research in dermatosis, neurofibromatosis.
Nedometinib is a topical gel formulation composed of an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAP2K; MAPKK; MEK), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon topical administration, nedometinib penetrates into the dermis of the skin where it specifically targets, binds to and inhibits the catalytic activity of MEK, thereby inhibiting the activation of MEK-dependent effector proteins including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells in which the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is overactivated. The threonine/tyrosine protein kinase MEK plays a key role in the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, which is frequently upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types and regulates key cellular activities including cell growth, proliferation, survival, differentiation and apoptosis. Rapid degradation of NFX-179 upon reaching the systemic circulation minimizes side effects caused by systemic exposure.

SYN

Modoflaner is another isophthalamide insecticide developed by Mitsui Chemicals Agriculture Co., Ltd. in Japan. Its structure is similar to broflanilide and cyproflanilide created in China, except that it introduces iodine and fluoropyridine structures. It is speculated that the mechanism of action of modoflaner is mainly through allosteric regulation of
γ -aminobutyric acid-gated chloride ion channels, which is similar to isoxazoline insecticides and acaricides such as mivolana and eumivolana. Indoor bioassay studies have shown that modoflaner has a killing rate of more than 70% (6 days) against Spodoptera litura, Plutella xylostella and Laodelphax
striatum at a concentration of 100 mg/L. It has a killing rate of 95% (48 hours) against adult
Ctenocephalides felis at a dose of 0.04 μg/
cm2 or 0.0064 mg/ L . It has a killing rate of 90% (48 hours)
against nymphs of American flower ticks, adults of
Ixodes ricinus and adults of
R. sanguineus at a dose of 0.2 μg/cm2. It can prevent female adults of R. sanguineus from laying eggs or hatching eggs after 7 days of in vitro injection at a dose of 0.032 μg/tick. The creation idea and synthetic route of Modoflaner are shown in Figure 2. The synthetic order of iodination and amidation deserves further study.

- Levosalbutamol tartrate(levalbuterol) is the R-enantiomer of the short-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist salbutamol.
Levalbuterol Tartrate is the tartrate salt form of levalbuterol, the R-enantiomer of the short-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist albuterol, with bronchodilator activity. Levalbuterol selectively binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, thereby activating intracellular adenyl cyclase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increased cAMP levels cause relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, relieve bronchospasms, improve mucociliary clearance and inhibit the release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells.
British patent document GB1298494A firstly discloses synthesis of levosalbutamol, which comprises the steps of carrying out crystallization resolution by using D- (+) -dibenzoyl tartaric acid, carrying out ester reduction reaction, and removing two benzyl protecting groups to obtain levosalbutamol, wherein the process route is as follows:

chinese patent CN1705634A, and using rhodium and chiral bidentate phosphine ligand combination, levosalbutamol can be obtained with good yield and good optical purity on a technical scale. The disadvantages are that the toxicity of the reagent is high, the hydrogenation risk is high, and the process route is as follows:

Ibuzatrelvir (development code PF-07817883) is an experimental antiviral drug being developed by Pfizer for the treatment of COVID-19.[1] It is a second-generation improvement over nirmatrelvir which has a similar chemical structure.[2] One of the disadvantages of nirmatrelvir is that it has low metabolic stability and must be given in combination with ritonavir (as Paxlovid) to limit its metabolic degradation in the body.[3] Ibuzatrelvir incorporates modifications to the chemical structure of nirmatrelvir that give it enhanced oral bioavailability, so it does not require coadministration with ritonavir.[3]
Ibuzatrelvir (PF-07817883), a second-generation, orally bioavailable, is SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro and 3CLpro) inhibitor with improved metabolic stability. Ibuzatrelvir has demonstrated pan-human coronavirus antiviral activity and off-target selectivity profile in vitro and in preclinical animal studies. Ibuzatrelvir is well tolerated with a safety profile similar to placebo and prevents viral infection and transmission. Ibuzatrelvir can be used to inhibit COVID-19.

PAPER
The Pfizer scientists described ibuzatrelvir’s medicinal chemistry campaign in a Journal of Medicinal Chemistry paper that was published in April 2024 (DOI: 10.1021/acs .jmedchem.3c02469).
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.4c00508
Ibuzatrelvir (1) was recently disclosed and patented by Pfizer for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has received fast-track status from the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has entered phase III clinical trials as a possible replacement for Paxlovid. Like nirmatrelvir (2) in Paxlovid, this orally active drug candidate is designed to target viral main proteases (Mpro) through reversible covalent interaction of its nitrile warhead with the active site thiol of the chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease (3CL protease). Inhibition of Mpro hinders the processing of the proteins essential for viral replication in vivo. However, ibuzatrelvir apparently does not require ritonavir (3), which is coadministered in Paxlovid to block human oxidative metabolism of nirmatrelvir. Here, we report the crystal structure of the complex of ibuzatrelvir with the active site of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro at 2.0 Å resolution. In addition, we show that ibuzatrelvir also potently inhibits the Mpro of Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which is fortunately not widespread but can be dangerously lethal (∼36% mortality). Co-crystal structures show that the binding mode of the drug to both active sites is similar and that the trifluoromethyl group of the inhibitor fits precisely into a critical S2 substrate binding pocket of the main proteases. However, our results also provide a rationale for the differences in potency of ibuzatrelvir for these two proteases due to minor differences in the substrate preferences leading to a weaker H-bond network in MERS-CoV Mpro. In addition, we examined the reversibility of compound binding to both proteases, which is an important parameter in reducing off-target effects as well as the potential immunogenicity. The crystal structures of the ibuzatrelvir complexes with Mpro of SARS-CoV-2 and of MERS-CoV will further assist drug design for coronaviral infections in humans and animals.


General Boc-Deprotection and Coupling Procedure
This procedure was based on a literature procedure.1
The Boc-protected building block (1.0
equiv) was dissolved in 50/50 TFA/DCM and stirred for 1 h at room temperature. The reaction
mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and co-evaporated with DCM (5 × 5 mL). In a separate
RBF the carboxylic acid building block (1.0 equiv) and HATU (1.0 equiv) were dissolved in
DMF. HOAt (0.6 M in DMF) (0.1 equiv) and DIPEA (3.0 equiv) were added and the reaction
mixture was left to incubate at room temperature for 10 mins, as it turned yellow. The previously
concentrated Boc-deprotected building block was dissolved in DMF and added dropwise to the
incubating solution. The reaction mixture was capped under a blanket of argon and stirred at room
temperature for 2–3 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with 5 mL each of water and ethyl acetate
and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted further with ethyl acetate (3 × 5 mL),
and all ethyl acetate layers combined and washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (10 mL), 1 M HCl (10
mL), water (2 × 10 mL) and brine (10 mL). It was then dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and
concentrated in vacuo to furnish the product.

= 0.40 and was visible with KMnO4 stain. After concentration
of desired fractions, 1 was isolated as a clear, colorless oil that solidified to a white solid (0.051 g,
53%) This compound was isolated and used for all experiments as a mixture of diastereomers in a
ratio of about 2:1 and rotamers present, with only the major set of resonances reported, which are
for the desired isomer. It can be separated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
methods, as listed in the HPLC Separation of Ibuzatrelvir Diastereomers section.
