- Efficient Benzimidazolidinone Synthesis via Rhodium-Catalyzed Double-Decarbonylative C-C Activation/Cycloaddition between Isatins and Isocyanates
-
The first decarbonylative cycloaddition of less-strained cyclic ketones (isatins) with isocyanates is reported. Initiated by C-C activation, this distinct [5 - 2 + 2] transformation provides a rapid entry to access various benzimidazolidinone derivatives, and a wide range of isocyanates can be efficiently coupled with broad functional group tolerance. A modified one-pot process combining a Curtius rearrangement and C-C activation was also achieved by using acyl azides as the starting materials. A detailed mechanistic study revealed a surprising double-decarbonylative reaction pathway. The novel reactivity discovered in this basic research is expected to shed light on the development of new heterocycle formation methods through C-C/isocyanate coupling.

- Design, synthesis, insecticidal activity and molecular docking of doramectin derivatives
-
A series of new doramectin derivatives containing carbamate, ester and sulfonate were synthesized, and their structures were characterized by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrum (HRMS). Their insecticidal activities against oriental armyworm, diamondback moth, and corn borer were evaluated and compared with the parent doramectin and commercial avermectins, metolcarb, fenpropathrin. Among all compounds, three compounds (3a, 3g and 3h) showed excellent insecticidal effect. In particular, compound 3g containing cyclopropyl carbamate against oriental armyworm, diamondback moth, and corn borer, exhibited the most promising insecticidal activity with the final mortality rate of 66.67%, 36.67%, 40.00% at the concentration of 12.5 mg/L, respectively. The LC50 values of 3g were 5.8859, 22.3214, and 22.0205 mg/L, showing 6.74, 2.23, 2.21-fold higher potency than parent doramectin (LC50 values of 39.6907, 49.7736, and 48.6129 mg/L) and 6.83, 1.93, 3.36-fold higher potency than commercial avermectins (LC50 values of 40.2489, 42.9922, and 73.9508 mg/L). Additionally, molecular docking simulations revealed that 3g displayed stronger hydrogen-bonding action in binding with the GABA receptor than parent doramectin, which were crucial for keeping high insecticidal activity. The present work demonstrated that these compounds containing alkyl carbamate group could be considered as potential candidates for the development of novel pesticides in the future.

- Electrochemically Enabled Intramolecular Aminooxygenation of Alkynes via Amidyl Radical Cyclization
-
An electrochemical synthesis of oxazol-2-ones and imidazol-2-ones has been developed via 5-exo-dig cyclization of propargylic carbamates- and ureas-derived amidyl radicals. The electrosynthesis relies on the dual function of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin- 1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) as a redox mediator for amidyl radical formation and an oxygen atom donor. The reactions are conducted under mild conditions using a simple setup and provide convenient access to functionalized oxazol-2-ones and imidazol-2-ones from readily available materials.

- Discovery of Potent EGFR Inhibitors With 6-Arylureido-4-anilinoquinazoline Derivatives
-
According to the classical pharmacophore fusion strategy, a series of 6-arylureido-4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives (Compounds 7a–t) were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated by the standard CCK-8 method and enzyme inhibition assay. Among the title compounds, Compounds 7a, 7c, 7d, 7f, 7i, 7o, 7p, and 7q exhibited promising anti-proliferative bioactivities, especially Compound 7i, which had excellent antitumor activity against the A549, HT-29, and MCF-7 cell lines (IC50 = 2.25, 1.72, and 2.81?μM, respectively) compared with gefitinib, erlotinib, and sorafenib. In addition, the enzyme activity inhibition assay indicated that the synthesized compounds had sub-micromolar inhibitory levels (IC50, 11.66–867.1?nM), which was consistent with the results of the tumor cell line growth inhibition tests. By comparing the binding mechanisms of Compound 7i (17.32?nM), gefitinib (25.42?nM), and erlotinib (33.25?nM) to the EGFR, it was found that Compound 7i could extend into the effective region with a similar action conformation to that of gefitinib and interact with residues L85, D86, and R127, increasing the binding affinity of Compound 7i to the EGFR. Based on the molecular hybridization strategy, 14 compounds with EGFR inhibitory activity were designed and synthesized, and the action mechanism was explored through computational approaches, providing valuable clues for the research of antitumor agents based on EGFR inhibitors.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationship study of pyrrolidine-oxadiazoles as anthelmintics against Haemonchus contortus
-
Parasitic roundworms (nematodes) are significant pathogens of humans and animals and cause substantive socioeconomic losses due to the diseases that they cause. The control of nematodes in livestock animals relies heavily on the use of anthelmintic drugs. However, their extensive use has led to a widespread problem of drug resistance in these worms. Thus, the discovery and development of novel chemical entities for the treatment of parasitic worms of humans and animals is needed. Herein, we describe our medicinal chemistry optimization efforts of a phenotypic hit against Haemonchus contortus based on a pyrrolidine-oxadiazole scaffold. This led to the identification of compounds with potent inhibitory activities (IC50 = 0.78–22.4 μM) on the motility and development of parasitic stages of H. contortus, and which were found to be highly selective in a mammalian cell counter-screen. These compounds could be used as suitable chemical tools for drug target identification or as lead compounds for further optimization.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of 1-aryl-3-[4-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]urea derivatives as new anticancer agents
-
The diaryl ureas are very important fragments in medicinal chemistry. By means of computer-aided design, 1-aryl-3-[4-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]urea derivatives were designed and synthesized, and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against A549, HCT-116, PC-3 cancer cell lines, and HL7702 human normal liver cell lines in vitro by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide colorimetric assay. Most of the target compounds demonstrate significant antiproliferative effects on all the selective cancer cell lines. The calculated IC50 values were reported. The target compound 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-{4-{[3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-2-yl]methoxy}phenyl}urea (7u) demonstrated the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50 = 2.39 ± 0.10 μM for A549 and IC50 = 3.90 ± 0.33 μM for HCT-116), comparable to the positive-control sorafenib (IC50 = 2.12 ± 0.18 μM for A549 and IC50 = 2.25 ± 0.71 μM for HCT-116). Conclusively, 1-aryl-3-[4-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]urea derivatives as the new anticancer agents were discovered, and could be used as the potential BRAF inhibitors for further research.

- Discovery of SP-96, the first non-ATP-competitive Aurora Kinase B inhibitor, for reduced myelosuppression
-
Aurora Kinase B is a serine-threonine kinase known to be overexpressed in several cancers, with no inhibitors approved for clinical use. Herein, we present the discovery and optimization of a series of novel quinazoline-based Aurora Kinase B inhibitors. The lead inhibitor SP-96 shows sub-nanomolar potency in Aurora B enzymatic assays (IC50 = 0.316 ± 0.031 nM). We identified the important pharmacophore features resulting in selectivity against receptor tyrosine kinases. Particularly, SP-96 shows >2000 fold selectivity against FLT3 and KIT which is important for normal hematopoiesis. This could diminish the adverse effect of neutropenia reported in the clinical trials of the Aurora B inhibitor Barasertib, which inhibits FLT3 and KIT in addition to Aurora B. Enzyme kinetics of SP-96 shows non-ATP-competitive inhibition which makes it a first-in-class inhibitor. Further, SP-96 shows selective growth inhibition in NCI60 screening, including inhibition of MDA-MD-468, a Triple Negative Breast Cancer cell line.

- Design, synthesis and antitumor assessment of phenylureas bearing 5-fluoroindolin-2-one moiety
-
Background: The development of novel antineoplastic agents remains highly desirable. Objective: This study focuses on the design, synthesis, and antitumor evaluation of phenyl ureas bearing 5-fluoroindolin-2-one moiety. Methods: Three sets of phenylureas were designed and synthesized and their antiproliferative abil-ity was measured against four human carcinoma cell lines (Hela, Eca-109, A549, and MCF-7) via MTT assay. In vivo anticancer activity was further evaluated in xenograft models of human breast cancer (MCF-7). Results: A total of twenty-one new compounds were synthesized and characterized by means of1 H and13 C NMR as well as HR-MS. Three sets of compounds (1a?1c, 2a?2c, and 3a?3c) were ini-tially constructed, and preliminary antiproliferative activities of these molecules were evaluated against Hela, Eca-109, A549 and MCF-7, highlighting the meta-substituted phenylureas (1a?1c) as the most cytotoxic set. A series of meta-substituted phenylureas derivatives (1d?1o) were then designed and synthesized for structure-activity relationship study. Most of the new compounds showed desirable cytotoxicity, among which compound 1g exhibited the most remarkable cyto-toxic effects against the tested human cancer cells with IC50 values ranging from 1.47 to 6.79 μM. Further studies showed that compound 1g suppressed tumor growth in human breast cancer (MCF-7) xenograft models without affecting the body weight of its recipients. Conclusion: In this study, twenty-one new compounds, containing the privileged structures of phenylurea and 5-fluoroindolin-2-one, were designed and synthesized. Subsequent structure-activity studies showed that 1g was the most bioactive antitumor agent among all tested com-pounds, hence a potentially promising lead compound once given further optimization.

-
A novel structural series of tetrahydroisoquinoline-based compounds that incorporate the diaryl urea moiety was designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated as suppressors of VEFGR-2 signaling. As a consequence, compounds 9k and 9s exhibited comparable or superior cytotoxic activity to that of gefitinib against the tested three cell lines, including A549, MCF-7, and PC-3. Importantly, both of them downregulated the expression of VEGFR-2, and inhibited VEGFR-2 phosphorylation at the concentration of 0.5 or 1.0 μmol/l. Besides, they suppressed human umbilical vein endothelial cell tube formation at the concentration of 4.0 μmol/l. Considering their capability of down-regulating VEGFR-2 expression and inhibiting VEGFR-2 phosphorylation, 9k and 9s may serve as suppressors of angiogenesis for further investigation.

- Discovery of novel anti-angiogenesis agents. Part 8: Diaryl thiourea bearing 1H-indazole-3-amine as multi-target RTKs inhibitors
-
VEGFR-2, TIE-2, and EphB4 are essential for both angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Herein, we designed and prepared three classes of multi-target inhibitors based on the extensive sequence homology along the kinase domain of angiogenic RTKs. Biological evaluation indicated that these multi-target inhibitors exhibited considerable potential as novel anti-angiogeneic and anticancer agents. Among them, a diaryl thiourea bearing 1H-indazole-3-amine (16a) displayed the most potent RTK inhibition and excellent selectivity. It also showed inhibition on viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and anti-proliferation against a broad spectrum of cancer cells. Therefore, 1H-indazole-3-amine could serve as a promising hinge binding group for multi-target inhibitors of VEGFR-2, Tie-2, and EphB4.

Through a structure-based molecular hybridization approach, a series of novel quinazolinyl-diaryl urea derivatives were designed, synthesized, and screened for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against three cancer cell lines (HepG2, MGC-803, and A549). Six compounds (7g, 7m, 7o, 8e, 8g, and 8m) showed stronger activity against a certain cell line compared with the positive reference drugs sorafenib and gefitinib. Among the six compounds, 8g exhibited the strongest activity. In particular, compound 8g induced A549 apoptosis, arrested cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase, elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species level, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. This compound can also effectively regulate the expression of apoptosis- and cell cycle-related proteins, and influence the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway. Molecular docking and structure-activity relationship analyses revealed that it can bind well to the active site of the receptor c-Raf, which was consistent with the biological data. Therefore, compound 8g may be a potent antitumor agent, representing a promising lead for further optimization.

- Discovery of novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors. Part 5: Exploration of diverse hinge-binding fragments via core-refining approach
-
Pathological angiogenesis plays a critical role in numerous diseases including malignancy. VEGFR-2 is the central regulators in angiogenesis and has become a promising target for anticancer drug design. We have identified a novel biphenyl-aryl urea incorporated with salicyladoxime (BPS-7) as potent VEGFR-2 inhibitor. As a continuation to our previous research, various aromatic-heterocyclic were introduced as hinge-binding fragment via a core-refining approach. Interestingly, many compounds exhibited comparable VEGFR-2 inhibition to Sorafenib. In particular, 12e and 12o displayed excellent VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.50 nM and 0.79 nM, respectively. Several title compounds showed considerable antiproliferative activity against A549 and SMMC-7721 cells. In addition, molecular docking was performed to rationalize the efficiency of the better compounds. These results will be instructive for further inhibitor design and optimization.

With the increase of herbicide-resistant weeds, novel, more selective and even more potent herbicides to control weeds are needed. In this paper, a series of N-fluorinated phenyl-N′-pyrimidyl urea derivatives were synthesized and screened for their herbicidal activities against Amaranthus retroflexus (AR) and Setaria viridis (SV). Compound 25 (N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-N′-(2- amino-4-chloro-6-methylpyrimidyl) urea) exhibited marked herbicidal activity against SV (IC50 = 11.67 mg/L) and is more potent than bensulfuron (IC50 = 27.45 mg/L), a commercially available herbicide. A statistically significant CoMFA model with high prediction abilities (q 2 = 0.869, r2 = 0.989) was obtained.

-
A number of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3-one derivatives were prepared through structural modification of the original compound from high-throughput screening. Some analogues (e.g., 6b, 6r, 6s and 6w) were identified as novel and potent caspase inhibitors with IC50 of nanomolar. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for caspase-3 inhibition were evaluated in vitro. Molecular modeling studies provided further insight into the interaction of this class of compounds with activated caspase-3. The present small molecule caspase-3 inhibitor with novel structures different from structures of known caspase inhibitors revealed a new direction for therapeutic strategies directed against diseases involving abnormally up-regulated apoptosis.

- Discovery of hybrid dual N-acylhydrazone and diaryl urea derivatives as potent antitumor agents: Design, synthesis and cytotoxicity evaluation
-
Based on the hybrid pharmacophore design concept, a novel series of dual diaryl urea and N-acylhydrazone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity by the standard MTT assay. The pharmacological results indicated that most compounds exhibited moderate to excellent activity. Moreover, compound 2g showed the most potent cytotoxicity against HL-60, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, with IC50 values of 0.22, 0.34 and 0.41 μM, respectively, which was 3.8 to 22.5 times more active than the reference compounds sorafenib and PAC-1. The promising compound 2g thus emerges as a lead for further structural modifications.

- Structure-activity relationship studies of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives leading to the discovery of a novel multikinase inhibitor that potently inhibits FLT3 and VEGFR2 and evaluation of its activity against acute myeloid leukemia in vitro and in vivo
-
We describe the structural optimization of a hit compound, 1-(4-(1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ylamino)phenyl)-3-(3-methoxyphenyl)urea (1), which exhibits inhibitory activity but low potency against FLT3 and VEGFR2. A series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized, and structure-activity relationship analysis using cell- and transgenic-zebrafish- based assays led to the discovery of a number of compounds that exhibited both high potency against FLT3-driven human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) MV4-11 cells and a considerable antiangiogenic effect in transgenic-zebrafish-based assays. The compound 1-(4-(1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin -4-yloxy)phenyl)-3-(4-chloro-3- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)urea (33), which exhibited the highest activity in preliminary in vivo anti-AML assays, was chosen for further anti-AML studies. The results demonstrated that compound 33 is a multikinase inhibitor that potently inhibits FLT3 and VEGFR2. In an MV4-11 xenograft mouse model, a once-daily dose of compound 33 at 10 mg/kg for 18 days led to complete tumor regression without obvious toxicity. Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses were performed to determine the mechanism of action of compound 33.

- A simple and efficient synthesis of diaryl ureas with reduction of the intermediate isocyanate by triethylamine
-
Thirty symmetrical diaryl urea derivatives were synthesised in moderate to excellent yields from arylamine and triphosgene with triethylamine as a reducing agent for the intermediate, isocyanate. It was significant that part of the products could be collected in almost quantitative yield without column chromatography. The procedure under mild reaction conditions was tolerant of a wide range of functional groups. The structures of the compounds were determined by NMR, MS and X-ray crystallographic analyses.

- N-methylimidazole-catalyzed synthesis of carbamates from hydroxamic acids via the lossen rearrangement
-
An efficient, one-pot, N-methylimidazole (NMI) accelerated synthesis of aromatic and aliphatic carbamates via the Lossen rearrangement is reported. NMI is a catalyst for the conversion of isocyanate intermediates to the carbamates. Moreover, the utility of arylsulfonyl chloride in combination with NMI minimizes the formation of often-observed hydroxamate-isocyanate dimers during the sequence. Under the present conditions, lowering of temperatures is also possible, enabling a mild protocol.

- Development of synthetic aminopeptidase N/CD13 inhibitors to overcome cancer metastasis and angiogenesis
-
Cancer metastasis is a major barrier to its treatment and an important cause of patient death. Antimetastatic agents hold promise for patients with advanced metastatic tumors. Aminopeptidase N/CD13 (APN) is being pursued by many as an important target against cancer metastasis and angiogenesis, but there are few reports on the in vivo evaluation of synthetic APN inhibitors. Herein, a series of compounds targeting APN were synthesized and evaluated for their antimetastasis and antiangiogenesis potency both in vitro and in vivo. Excitingly, compounds 4m, 4t, and 4cc, with the most potent APN inhibitory activities, displayed significant antimetastasis and antiangiogenesis effects in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that those synthetic APN inhibitors have the potential to overcome cancer metastasis and angiogenesis.

-
We herein disclose a series of novel diaryl urea derivatives possessing a 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one group as novel potent anticancer compounds. The structures were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, and MS. All the compounds were screened for their antiprofilerative activity agaist the human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). The pharmacological results indicated that most of the compounds showed moderate activity. The best of this series is compound 4c (IC50 = 0.7 μmol/L), with a potency 3.6-fold higher than Sorafenib (IC50 = 2.5 μmol/L), which was approved in 2005.

- 1-Aryl-3-(1-acylpiperidin-4-yl)urea inhibitors of human and murine soluble epoxide hydrolase: Structure-activity relationships, pharmacokinetics, and reduction of inflammatory pain
-
1,3-Disubstituted ureas possessing a piperidyl moiety have been synthesized to investigate their structure-activity relationships as inhibitors of the human and murine soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Oral administration of 13 1-aryl-3-(1-acylpiperidin-4-yl)urea inhibitors in mice revealed substantial improvements in pharmacokinetic parameters over previously reported 1-adamantylurea based inhibitors. For example, 1-(1-(cyclopropanecarbonyl) piperidin-4-yl)-3-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)urea (52) showed a 7-fold increase in potency, a 65-fold increase in Cmax, and a 3300-fold increase in AUC over its adamantane analogue 1-(1-adamantyl)-3-(1-propionylpiperidin-4-yl) urea (2). This novel sEH inhibitor showed a 1000-fold increase in potency when compared to morphine by reducing hyperalgesia as measured by mechanical withdrawal threshold using the in vivo carrageenan induced inflammatory pain model.

- Synthesis of aryliminoacetonitriles under FVT conditions or by dehydrogenation of arylaminoacetonitriles: an NMR and UV-photoelectron spectroscopy study
-
The synthesis of [(E)-arylimino]-acetonitriles 3 has been described. It was found that the title compounds can be obtained on the three ways, namely by: (i) dehydrogenation of arylaminoacetonitriles 1, (ii) thermal fragmentation of 1-aryl-4-cyano-β-lactams 4 and (iii) retro-ene reaction of (allyl-p-methoxyphenyl-amino)-acetonitrile (7a) under FVT conditions. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of compounds 3, 5 and 6, and all their precursors 1 and 4, were recorded and analysed in detail using chemical shifts δH and δC [from GIAO DFT B3LYP/6-31(d) calculations] and J-couplings predicted at the DFT B3LYP/IGLO-II level. Also, UV-photoelectron spectra of 4a,d and 3a,d were measured and analysed considering the theoretical evaluation of their ionisation potentials.

To find potent and selective inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), we synthesized a series of 2-cyanopyrrolidine derivatives with constrained imidazolidin ring and tested their activities against DPP-IV. Most of them exhibited submicromolar inhibitory activities against DPP-IV. The most potent compound among these is (S)-1-(2-(2-(3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)ethyl-amino)acetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile (6n), which is a 2 nM DPP-IV inhibitor.

- Discovering potent small molecule inhibitors of cyclophilin A using de novo drug design approach
-
This work describes an integrated approach of de novo drug design, chemical synthesis, and bioassay for quick identification of a series of novel small molecule cyclophilin A (CypA) inhibitors (1-3). The activities of the two most potent CypA inhibitors (3h and 3i) are 2.59 and 1.52 nM, respectively, which are about 16 and 27 times more potent than that of cyclosporin A. This study clearly demonstrates the power of our de novo drug design strategy and the related program LigBuilder 2.0 in drug discovery.

- Carbonyldiimidazole-mediated lossen rearrangement

[Chemical Equation Presented] Carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) was found to mediate the Lossen rearrangement of various hydroxamic acids to isocyanates. This process is experimentally simple and mild, with imidazole and CO 2 being the sole stoichiometric byproduct. Significant for large-scale application, the method avoids the use of hazardous reagents and thus represents a green alternative to standard processing conditions for the Curtius and Hofmann rearrangements.
