Abstract
Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a metabolic regulator that catalyzes the methylation of nicotinamide (Nam) using the co-factor S-adenosyl-L-methionine to form 1-methyl-nicotinamide (MNA). Overexpression of NNMT and the presence of the active metabolite MNA is associated with a number of diseases including metabolic disorders. We conducted a high-throughput screening campaign that led to the identification of a tricyclic core as a potential NNMT small molecule inhibitor series. Elaborate medicinal chemistry efforts were undertaken and hundreds of analogs were synthesized to understand the structure activity relationship and structure property relationship of this tricyclic series. A lead molecule, JBSNF-000028, was identified that inhibits human and mouse NNMT activity, reduces MNA levels in mouse plasma, liver and adipose tissue, and drives insulin sensitization, glucose modulation and body weight reduction in a diet-induced obese mouse model of diabetes. The co-crystal structure showed that JBSNF-000028 binds below a hairpin structural motif at the nicotinamide pocket and stacks between Tyr-204 (from Hairpin) and Leu-164 (from central domain). JBSNF-000028 was inactive against a broad panel of targets related to metabolism and safety. Interestingly, the improvement in glucose tolerance upon treatment with JBSNF-000028 was also observed in NNMT knockout mice with diet-induced obesity, pointing towards the glucose-normalizing effect that may go beyond NNMT inhibition. JBSNF-000028 can be a potential therapeutic option for metabolic disorders and developmental studies are warranted.

Abstract
Nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a cytosolic enzyme catalyzing the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) to nicotinamide (Nam). It is expressed in many tissues including the liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. Its expression in several cancer cell lines has been widely discussed in the literature, and recent work established a link between NNMT expression and metabolic diseases. Here we describe our approach to identify potent small molecule inhibitors of NNMT featuring different binding modes as elucidated by X-ray crystallographic studies.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease that can lead to irreversible liver cirrhosis and cancer. Early diagnosis of NASH is vital to detect disease before it becomes life-threatening, yet noninvasively differentiating NASH from simple steatosis is challenging. Herein, bifunctional probes have been developed that target the hepatocyte-specific asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), the expression of which decreases during NASH progression. The results show that the probes allow longitudinal, noninvasive monitoring of ASGPR levels by positron emission tomography in the newly developed rat model of NASH. The probes open new possibilities for research into early diagnosis of NASH and development of drugs to slow or reverse its progression.

Abstract
In the search of a potential backup for clopidogrel, we have initiated a HTS campaign designed to identify novel reversible P2Y12 antagonists. Starting from a hit with low micromolar binding activity, we report here the main steps of the optimization process leading to the identification of the preclinical candidate SAR216471. It is a potent, highly selective, and reversible P2Y12 receptor antagonist and by far the most potent inhibitor of ADP-induced platelet aggregation among the P2Y12 antagonists described in the literature. SAR216471 displays potent in vivo antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities and has the potential to differentiate from other antiplatelet agents.

Abstract
A 2,3,4-tri-O-pivaloylated beta-D-galactopyranosyl azide bearing a hydroxy-functionalized spacer unit at the C-6 position of the galactose was synthesized and immobilized on the solid phase by using a polymer-bound chlorosilane. The azide was reduced to the corresponding galactopyranosylamine, which served as a versatile chiral auxiliary in highly diastereoselective Ugi four-component condensation reactions at ambient temperature. Fluoride-induced cleavage from the polymeric support furnished N-glycosylated N-acylated alpha-amino acid amides. The reaction of the immobilized galactosylamine with aldehydes gave rise to the corresponding aldimines, which underwent a domino Mannich-Michael condensation reaction with Danishefsky's diene at ambient temperature to yield 2-substituted 5,6-didehydropiperidin-4-ones on the solid phase. Subsequent cleavage with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride delivered the N-glycosylated products in high yields, purities, and diastereoselectivities. A chemoselective 1,4-hydride addition to the polymer-bound dehydropiperidinones was achieved in the presence of the bulky oxygenophilic Lewis acid methylaluminum [bis(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxide)]. The conjugate addition of cyano-modified Gilman reagents to the immobilized dehydropiperidinones furnished 2,6-cis-substituted piperidine derivatives as the major diastereomers that were isolated after cleavage from the support.

Abstract
We have searched for Theta+(1540) and Xi(--)(1862) pentaquark candidates in proton-induced reactions on C, Ti, and W targets at midrapidity and square root of s = 41.6 GeV. In 2 x 10(8) inelastic events we find no evidence for narrow (sigma approximately 5 MeV) signals in the Theta+ --> pK0(S) and Xi(--) --> Xi- pi- channels; our 95% C.L. upper limits (UL) for the inclusive production cross section times branching fraction B dsigma/dy/(y approximately 0) are (4-16) mub/N for a Theta+ mass between 1521 and 1555 MeV, and 2.5 mub/N for the Xi(--). The UL of the yield ratio of Theta+/Lambda(1520) < (3-12)% is significantly lower than model predictions. Our UL of B Xi(--)/Xi(1530)0 < 4% is at variance with the results that have provided the first evidence for the Xi(--).

Abstract
To obtain mechanistic insight, detailed studies of the intriguing "spontaneous" ambient temperature ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of tin-bridged [1]ferrocenophanes Fe(eta-C(5)H(4))(2)SnR(2) 3a (R = t-Bu) and 3b (R = Mes) in solution have been performed. The investigations explored the influence of non-nucleophilic additives such as radicals and radical traps, neutral and anionic nucleophiles, Lewis acids, protic species, and other cationic electrophiles. Significantly, two novel methodologies and mechanisms for the ROP of strained [1]ferrocenophanes are proposed based on this study. First, as the addition of amine nucleophiles such as pyridine was found to strongly accelerate the polymerization rate in solution, a new nucleophilicallyassisted ROP methodology was proposed. This operates at ambient temperature in solution even in the presence of chlorosilanes but, unlike the anionic polymerization of ferrocenophanes, does not involve cyclopentadienyl anions. Second, the addition of small quantities of the electrophilic species H(+) and Bu(3)Sn(+) was found to lead to a cationic ROP process. These studies suggest that the "spontaneous" ROP of tin-bridged [1]ferrocenophanes may be a consequence of the presence of spurious, trace quantities of Lewis basic or acidic impurities. The new ROP mechanisms reported are likely to be of general significance for the ROP of other metallocenophanes (e.g., for thermal ROP in the melt) and for other metallacycles containing group 14 elements.

Abstract
[structure: see text]. The concept of dipolar recoupling is introduced to 1H-1H NOESY experiments performed under HRMAS conditions. Dipole-dipole couplings are selectively recoupled during the mixing period, while MAS ensures high resolution in the spectral dimensions. Incoherent dipolar exchange is replaced by amplified coherent processes, such that time scales for polarization transfer are shortened, and dipolar double-quantum techniques become applicable. In this way, dipole-dipole couplings, as well as J-couplings, can be individually measured.

Abstract
To investigate the relevance of intraoperative macroscopic evaluation of adnexal masses a prospective study was conducted from June 1st, 1993 to May 31st, 1994, which included 57 premenopausal and 60 postmenopausal women, who underwent laparotomy because of a cystic adnexal mass. The surgeons were asked to classify the tumor intraoperatively as benign or malignant and to assign to histologic groups. In addition cytology of the cyst fluid and a biopsy from the cystic wall were evaluated. Comparison of these items with the results of permanent section diagnosis revealed the tendency of the surgeons to underestimate adnexal masses depending on patients' age and the complexity of the tumor, despite of the knowledge of preoperative ultrasonographic findings. Sufficient cytolologic examination was possible in only one third of aspirates and only 21% of the examined postmenopausal malignant neoplasms have correctly been diagnosed by cytology. Evaluation of the biopsy specimens demonstrates a marked percentage of false negatives with respect to benign tumors (30% of non-functional benign neoplasms in the premenopause were assessed as functional cysts) as well as malignant neoplasms (only 72% were diagnosed correctly in the postmenopause group). In conclusion intraoperative subjective assessment, cytology and representative biopsies do not necessarily concur with the definitive histological diagnosis.
