  • Patent number: 9278956
    Abstract: A novel inhibitor of Rac activity based on the structure of the established Rac/Rac-GEF inhibitor NSC23766 is discloses. The compound EHop-016, with an IC50 of 1.1 ?M, is a 100-fold more efficient inhibitor of Rac activity than NSC23766. EHop-016 is specific for Rac1 and Rac3 at concentrations ?5 mM. At higher concentrations, EHop-016 inhibits the close homolog Cdc42. In MDA-MB-435 cells, EHop-016 (?5 mM) inhibits the association of the Rac-GEF Vav2 with a nucleotide-free Rac1(G15A), which has a high affinity for activated GEFs. EHop-016 does not affect the association of the Rac-GEF Tiam-1 with Rac1(G15A) at similar concentrations. EHop-016 also inhibits the Rac activity of MDA-MB-231 metastatic breast cancer cells and reduces Rac-directed lamellipodia formation in both cell lines. EHop-016 decreases Rac-downstream effects of p21-activated kinase (PAK)1 activity and directed migration of metastatic cancer cells. At low concentrations (<5 ?M), EHop-016 does not affect cell viability.

  • Patent number: 9278980
    Abstract: A method of producing a monomer wherein the method begins by dissolving 3-fluoro-4,6 dihydrothieno[3,4-b]thiophene in a solvent to create a solution. An initiator is then added to the solution to produce an initiated solution. This is followed by adding a fluorinated chemical to the initiated solution to produce 2,3-difluoro-4,6-dihydrothieno[3,4-b]thiophene. 2,3-difluoro-4,6-dihydrothieno[3,4-b]thiophene is then oxidized with an oxidant to produce 2,3-difluorothieno[3,4-b]thiophene. 2,3-difluorothieno[3,4-b]thiophene is then bromoated to produce 4,6-dibromo-2,3-difluorothieno[2,3-c]thiophene.
