Materials and Methods</h2><p><b>General Chemistry Methods:</b> All air or moisture sensitive reactions were performed under positive pressure of nitrogen with oven-dried glassware. Anhydrous solvents such as dichloromethane (DCM), <i>N,N</i>-dimethylforamide (DMF), acetonitrile, methanol, triethylamine, and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Preparative purification was performed on a Waters semi-preparative HPLC system. The column used was a Phenomenex Luna C18 (5 micron, 30 &#x000d7; 75 mm) at a flow rate of 45 mL/min. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and water (each containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid). A gradient of 10% to 50% acetonitrile over 8 minutes was used during the purification. Fraction collection was triggered by UV detection (220 nM). Analytical analysis was performed on an Agilent LC/MS (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). Method 1: A 7 minute gradient of 4% to 100% acetonitrile (containing 0.025% trifluoroacetic acid) in water (containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid) was used with an 8 minute run time at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. A Phenomenex Luna C18 column (3 micron, 3 &#x000d7; 75 mm) was used at a temperature of 50 &#x000b0;C. Method 2: A 3 minute gradient of 4% to 100% Acetonitrile (containing 0.025% trifluoroacetic acid) in water (containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid) was used with a 4.5 minute run time at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. A Phenomenex Gemini Phenyl column (3 micron, 3 &#x000d7; 100 mm) was used at a temperature of 50 &#x000b0;C. Purity determination was performed using an Agilent Diode Array Detector for both Method 1 and Method 2. Mass determination was performed using an Agilent 6130 mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization in the positive mode. <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectra were recorded on Varian 400 MHz spectrometers. Chemical Shifts are reported in ppm with undeuterated solvent (DMSO-h6 at 2.49 ppm) as internal standard for DMSO-d6 solutions. All of the analogs tested in the biological assays have purity greater than 95% based on both analytical methods. High resolution mass spectrometry was recorded on Agilent 6210 Time-of-Flight LC/MS system. Confirmation of molecular formulae was accomplished using electrospray ionization in the positive mode with the Agilent Masshunter software (version B.02).</p><p><b>Regioisomeric Determination via Reverse Phase Chromatography.</b> The regiochemistry was assigned by comparing the NOESY spectra of the two analogs. No correlation was seen between the pyrazole hydrogen (H) -3 proton and benzyl H-23 protons for <a href="/pcsubstance/?term=ML360[synonym]" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=term&amp;targettype=pubchem">ML360</a> while a strong NOESY correlation did exist between H-3 and H-23 for the regioisomer confirming the regiochemistry.</p><div id="ml360.s4"><h3>2.1.

Triacsin C, an inhibitor of long-chain fatty acyl CoA synthetase that blocks synthesis of triglycerides, was used as a positive control for lipid under-storage. A total of 23 nL of compounds dissolved in DMSO at different concentrations were transferred to the assay plates using a Kalypsys pin tool equipped with a 1,536-pin array. The final DMSO concentration was 0.46%. One &#x003bc;L of 400 &#x003bc;M oleic acid was added to induce lipid droplet formation in the cells, and the plates were lidded with stainless steel rubber gasket lined lids containing pinholes. After 18&#x02013;24 hr incubation at 25 &#x000b0;C and 95% humidity, 4 &#x003bc;L of BODIPY lipid dye 493/503 and Cell Tracker Red CMTPX dye were added to the wells to stain lipid droplets and enumerate cell number, respectively. Fluorescence was detected by excitation of the fluorophores with a 488-nm laser on an Acumen Explorer. The total intensity in channel 1 (500&#x02013;530 nm) reflected lipid droplet accumulation. Cells were detected using channel 3 (575&#x02013;640 nm) with 5-micron width and 100-micron depth filters. The ratio of the total intensity in PMT channel 1 over total intensity of channel 3 was also calculated.
