- Oxidation of arylthiourea by cetyltrimethylammonium dichromate
-
With a view to investigate the oxidation behaviors of cetyltrimethylammonium dichromate on multifunctional groups, some arylthioureas were subjected to oxidation, both in neutral and in acidic conditions. In neutral conditions, the products were found to be a mixture of corresponding urea and isonitrile. In acidic conditions, the products were corresponding ureas only. A probable mechanism was proposed for the formation of the product, wherein the first step involves coupling of-NH2 and-SH of one molecule to the-NH2 and-SH of another molecule, respectively, which is followed by removal of nitrogen and sulfur. The microwave irradiation resulted in great yield of isonitrile than urea in neutral conditions. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

- Design, synthesis and anticancer evaluation of 3-methyl-1H-indazole derivatives as novel selective bromodomain-containing protein 4 inhibitors
-
Bromodomain-containing Protein 4 (BRD4), an ‘epigenetic reader’, regulates chromatin structure and gene expression via recognizing and binding acetylated lysine in histones. BRD4 has become a therapeutic target for cancers because it promotes the expression of the tumor genes, such as c-Myc, NF-κB, and Bcl-2. In this study, a new series of 3-methyl-1H-indazole derivatives were designed via virtual screening and structure-based optimization. All compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activities to BRD4-BD1 and their antiproliferative effects in cancer cell lines. Among them, several compounds (such as 9d, 9u and 9w) exhibited strong BRD4-BD1 affinities and inhibition activities, and potently suppressed MV4;11 cancer cell line proliferation. Among them, compound 9d showed excellent selectivity for BRD4 and effectively suppressed c-Myc, the downstream protein of BRD4. This study provided new lead compounds for further biological evaluation on BRD4.

- Visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of oxime esters and aryl isonitriles: Synthesis of cyclopenta[: B] quinoxalines
-
A visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of aryl isonitriles and cyclobutanone oxime esters for the synthesis of cyclopenta[b]quinoxalines has been accomplished for the first time. The key to the success of this process was the integration of the in situ-formed nitrile radical followed by the cascade radical isonitrile/nitrile insertion-cyclization. The easy introduction of substituents for both substrates and the high functional group tolerance of the reaction make it an efficient strategy to give various quinoxaline derivatives in moderate to good yields.

- Magnesium Aldimines Prepared by Addition of Organomagnesium Halides to 2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl Isocyanide: Synthesis of 1,2-Dicarbonyl Derivatives
-
The selective addition of organomagnesium reagents to 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl isocyanide leading to magnesiated aldimines is reported. These aldimines react with Weinreb amides, ketones, or carbonates to provide the corresponding carbonyl derivatives after acidic cleavage. This allows for an efficient synthesis of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds and α-hydroxy ketones.

- Silver-Catalyzed Chemoselective [4+2] Annulation of Two Isocyanides: A General Route to Pyridone-Fused Carbo- and Heterocycles
-
A silver-catalyzed chemoselective [4+2] annulation of aryl and heteroaryl isocyanides with α-substituted isocyanoacetamides was developed for the facile and efficient synthesis of 2-aminoquinolones, naphthyridines, and phenanthrolines. A mechanism for this multistep domino reaction is proposed on the basis of a13C-labeling experiment, according to which an unprecedented chemoselective heterodimerization of two different isocyanides generates an α-amidoketenimine intermediate, which undergoes 1,3-amino migration to form an α-imidoylketene, followed by 6 π electrocyclization.

- Discovery of New Selenoureido Analogues of 4-(4-Fluorophenylureido)benzenesulfonamide as Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors
-
A series of benzenesulfonamides bearing selenourea moieties was obtained considering the ureido-sulfonamide SLC-0111, in Phase I clinical trials as antitumor agent, as a lead molecule. All compounds showed interesting inhibition potencies against the physiologically relevant human (h) carbonic anhydrase (hCAs, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms I, II, IV, and IX. The most flexible analogues in the series 14-19 showed low nanomolar inhibition constants against hCA I, II, and IX. We assessed selected compounds on the in vitro antioxidant properties and binding modes and evaluated ex vivo human prostate (PC3), breast (MDA-MB-231), and colon-rectal (HT-29) cancer cell lines both in normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

- Synthesis of isonitriles from N-substituted formamides using triphenylphosphine and iodine
-
Treatment of N-substituted formamides with the reagent combination of triphenylphosphine and molecular iodine, in the presence of a tertiary amine, quickly produces the corresponding isocyanides in high yields under ambient conditions. The process employs readily available and low-cost reagents, a convenient synthetic procedure, and mild reaction conditions for the synthesis of various alkyl and aryl isocyanides.

- Synthesis of selenazolopyridine derivatives with capability to induce apoptosis in human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells through scavenge of intracellular ROS
-
A series of selenazolopyridine derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, high resolution NMR and Mass spectrum. The in vitro anticancer activities of the synthetic compounds were screened against a panel of human cancer cell lines, human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells, human liver carcinoma HepG2 cells and L02 normal cell line by MTT assay. By analyzing the structure-activity relationship among the synthetic compounds, it was found that 2-(phenylamino) selenazolo [5,4-b] pyridine, (PSeD, 7) had higher growth inhibitory effect on MCF-7 cells. The intracellular mechanism of cell death was evaluated by flow cytometric analysis and ROS assay, which revealed that PSeD could induce MCF-7 cells apoptosis by scavenging intracellular ROS. Taken together, we regard PSeD as an antioxidant which could inhibit cancer cell growth through induction of apoptosis.

- Novel ultrasound-promoted parallel synthesis of trifluoroatrolactamide library via a one-pot passerini/hydrolysis reaction sequence and their fungicidal activities
-
An ultrasound-promoted one-pot Passerini/hydrolysis reaction sequence has been developed for the synthesis of trifluoroatrolactamide derivatives using a diverse range of trifluoroacetophenones and isonitriles in acetic acid. Parallel synthesis in a centrifuge tube using a noncontact ultrasonic cell crusher was used in this study as an efficient method for the rapid generation of combinatorial trifluoroatrolactamide libraries, and subsequent biochemical evaluation of the resulting compounds indicated that they possessed excellent broad-spectrum fungicidal activities. N-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-ethylphenyl)-3,3, 3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanamide and N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2- hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)propanamide, in particular, showed significant fungicidal activities against all of the fungal species tested in the current study.

- Synthesis of sugar-derived isoselenocyanates, selenoureas, and selenazoles
-
Aryl, alkyl, and sugar-derived isoselenocyanates were prepared by a one-pot procedure starting from the corresponding formamides, using triphosgene as a dehydrating agent, triethylamine, and black selenium powder. The preparation of sugar selenoureas by coupling of O-protected sugar-derived isoselenocyanates with different amines, and by coupling of unprotected glycopyranosyl amines with phenyl isoselenocyanate was also accomplished. The synthesis of a glucopyranos-2-yl-selenazole starting from O-protected 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose by coupling with benzoyl isoselenocyanate, Se-alkylation with phenacyl bromide, and acid-catalyzed dehydration is also reported. Unprotected N-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-N′-phenylselenourea was transformed into a 1,2-trans-fused bicyclic isourea upon treatment with aqueous hydrogen peroxide; the same isourea was prepared by a one-pot three-step procedure from β-d-glycopyranosylamine by thiophosgenation, coupling with aniline, and HgO-mediated desulfurization.
