Applications of ADMET

We will focus on the development of ruthenium-based metathesis precatalysts with enhanced activity and applications to the metathesis of alkenes with nonstandard electronic properties. In the class of molybdenum complexes [7a,g,h] recent research was mainly directed to the development of homochi-ral precatalysts for enantioselective olefin metathesis. This aspect has recently been covered by Schrock and Hoveyda in a short review and will not be discussed here [8h]. In addition, several important special topics have recently been addressed by excellent reviews, e.g., the synthesis of medium-sized rings by RCM [8a], applications of olefin metathesis to carbohydrate chemistry [8b], cross metathesis [8c,d],enyne metathesis [8e,f], ring-rearrangement metathesis [8g], enantioselective metathesis [8h], and applications of metathesis in polymer chemistry (ADMET,ROMP) [8i,j]. Application of olefin metathesis to the total synthesis of complex natural products is covered in the contribution by Mulzer et al. in this volume. 

The next section describes the utilization of //PLC for different applications of interest in the pharmaceutical industry. The part discusses the instrumentation employed for these applications, followed by the results of detailed characterization studies. The next part focuses on particular applications, highlighting results from the high-throughput characterization of ADMET and physicochemical properties (e.g., solubility, purity, log P, drug release, etc.), separation-based assays (assay development and optimization, real-time enzyme kinetics, evaluation of substrate specificity, etc.), and sample preparation (e.g., high-throughput clean-up of complex samples prior to MS (FIA) analysis). 

The treatment of equivalent amounts of two different alkenes with a metathesis catalyst generally leads to the formation of complex product mixtures [925,926]. There are, however, several ways in which cross metathesis can be rendered synthetically useful. One example of an industrial application of cross metathesis is the ethenolysis of internal alkenes. In this process cyclic or linear olefins are treated with ethylene at 50 bar/20 80 °C in the presence of a heterogeneous metathesis catalyst. The reverse reaction of ADMET/RCM occurs, and terminal alkenes are obtained.

ADMET polymerization has been used to integrate silicon into linear and network hydrocarbon polymers in an attempt to produce novel materials with enhanced thermal and mechanical stability. While ADMET has been used to produce copolymeric architectures unattainable through conventional methods, application of this polymerization to synthesis is feasible only if the silicon-based functionality does not inhibit metathesis. This research, initiated in the early 1990s by Wagener and colleagues, has shown that the silane and siloxane... 

Recent developments in ADMET polymerization and its use in materials preparation have been presented. Due to the mild nature of the polymerization and the ease of monomer synthesis, ADMET polymers have been incorporated into various materials and functionaUzed hydrocarbon polymers. Modeling industrial polymers has proven successful, and continues to be appUed in order to study polyethylene structure-property relationships. Ethylene copolymers have also been modeled with a wide range of comonomer contents and absolutely no branching. Increased metathesis catalyst activity and functional group tolerance has allowed polymer chemists to incorporate amino acids, peptides, and various chiral materials into metathesis polymers. Sihcon incorporation into hydrocarbon-based polymers has been achieved, and work continues toward the application of latent reactive ADMET polymers in low-temperature resistant coatings. 

SVM s have been shown to have superior performance to ANN s in non-linear modeling studies such as optical character recognition. In our hands, initial applications of SVM s to the prediction of ADMET properties from molecular structure indicate that their overall error performance is similar to that of ANN s, but that the predicted values have a smoother distribution and a slightly less-compressed range. 

We also discussed factors and models that need to be employed for the design against specific biological activities, and then introduced the importance of ADMET models. We have also reviewed ways to conduct comprehensive, balanced, multi-objective compound library design. These multi-objective methods should be applicable to gene family oriented library design as well, so... 

Olefin metathesis (OM) has proven to be one of the most important advances in catalysis in recent years based on the application of this chemistry to the synthesis of polymers and biologically relevant molecules [1-10]. This unique transformation promotes chain and condensation polymerizations, namely ring opening metathesis polymerization and acyclic diene metathesis polymerization (ADMET). Applications of metathesis polymerization span many aspects of materials synthesis from cell-adhesion materials [11] to the synthesis of linear polyethylene with precisely spaced branches [12].
