“…By taking advantage of the interaction profile of the biaryl core component, Hu and Holak reported a series of C 2 -symmetric 2,2′-dimethyl-3,3′-bis(aryloxymethyl)-1,1′-biphenyl analogues, among which compound 3 (Figure ) exhibited an IC 50 value of 3.0 nM in the HTRF assay . A ring fusion strategy was conducted by Gong’s and Wang’s groups, and the representative compounds [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-α]pyridine 4 and indolin 5 showed IC 50 values of 92.3 and 11.2 nM, respectively. , More recently, Lai and co-workers reported a series of nitrophenyl derivatives, and compound 6 showed an IC 50 value of 2.7 nM . In addition, optimization of the methoxy (−CH 2 O−) linker was conducted by two groups.…”
