The federal Project Grant award R35GM156435 was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859). The $259,966 grant, awarded on April 21, 2025, supports the development of new synthetic strategies to functionalize pyridine and diazine heterocycles, which are key structural components in many FDA-approved drugs. The research aims to enable medicinal chemists to directly and selectively install a range of substituents on these heterocycles, thereby facilitating the discovery and development of new drug candidates. The project will explore three main approaches: 1) installing heterocyclic phosphonium salts and exploiting their reactivity for coupling reactions; 2) utilizing NTF-pyridinium salts for direct C-heteroatom bond formation; and 3) employing Zincke ring-opening chemistry for 3-selective pyridine functionalization and isotopic labeling. The research will be conducted by the Sponsored Programs division at Colorado State University, a public land-grant research university with extensive expertise in federal research and technical support.
