Abstract: A sulfoxide compound and method of producing benzothiophene derivatives using the same are provided. The sulfoxide compound is represented by formula (I), wherein R1 and R2 are individually and independently benzoyl group; alkyl, acyl or silyl group of C1-C6 straight chain or branched chain; or alkenyl group of C3-C6 straight chain or branched chain; and X is halogen atom. The sulfoxide compound reacts with alkynyl compound, and then the synthesis efficiency of benzothiophene derivatives can be effectively increased.
Abstract: Alterations to the ERG gene are some of the most prominent genomic changes associated with many cancers including prostate cancer. Such cancer specific alterations result in the overexpression of wild type ERG protein or an altered ERG protein. The present invention provides selective inhibitors of wild type or an altered ERG protein expression. The ERG inhibitors of the invention, therefore, are therapeutic agents for treating ERG positive cancers.
