3-Oxo-3-phenylpropanenitrile(cas: 614-16-4) has been used in the synthesis of substituted naphtho[1,8-bc]pyrans. It was also used as building block in the preparation of 4H-pyrans, 2-pyridones, furans and carbocyclics.Category: nitriles-buliding-blocks

Category: nitriles-buliding-blocksIn 2019 ,《Synthesis and biological evaluation of 7-(aminoalkyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives as cathepsin K inhibitors》 appeared in Bioorganic Chemistry. The author of the article were Petek, Nejc; Stefane, Bogdan; Novinec, Marko; Svete, Jurij. The article conveys some information:

A series of novel 7-aminoalkyl substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and tested for inhibition of cathepsin K. The synthetic methodol. comprises cyclization of 5-aminopyrazoles with N-Boc-α-amino acid-derived ynones followed by transformation of the ester and the Boc-amino functions. It allows for easy diversification of the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffold at various positions. Mol. docking studies with pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were also performed to elucidate the binding mode in the active site of cathepsin K. The synthesized compounds exhibited moderate inhibition activity (Ki ≥ 77 μM). In the experiment, the researchers used 3-Oxo-3-phenylpropanenitrile(cas: 614-16-4Category: nitriles-buliding-blocks)
