- Bifunctional thiosquaramide catalyzed asymmetric reduction of dihydro-β-carbolines and enantioselective synthesis of (-)-coerulescine and (-)-horsfiline by oxidative rearrangement
-
Tetrahydro-β-carboline (THBC) is a tricyclic ring system that can be found in a large number of bioactive alkaloids. Herein, we report a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of enantiopure THBCs through a chiral thiosquaramide (11b) catalyzed imine reduction of dihydro-β-carbolines (17a-f). The in situ generated Pd-H employed as hydride source in the reaction of differently substituted chiral THBCs (18a-f) afforded high selectivities (R isomers, up to 96% ee) and good isolated yields (up to 88%). Moreover, the chiral thiosquaramide used also afforded exceptional catalyst activity in the syntheses of (-)-coerulescine (5) and (-)-horsfiline (6) with excellent enantioselectivities up to 98% and 93% ee, respectively, via an enantioselective oxidative rearrangement approach.

- RhII2-catalyzed synthesis of α-, β-, or δ-carbolines from aryl azides
-
Approaching all isomers: A range of α-, β- and δ-carbolinium ions are readily available from ortho-substituted aryl azides using a rhodium(II) carboxylate catalyst (see scheme). The carbolinium ions are readily reduced to afford tryptolines or deprotonated to access pyridoindoles. This [RhII2]-catalyzed C-H bond amination was used in the synthesis of (±)-horsfiline and neocryptolepine. esp=α,α,α',α'- tetramethyl-1,3-benzenedipropionate. Copyright

A range of γ-carbolines were produced stereoselectively from ruthenium(III)-catalyzed reactions of 3-pyridyl substituted aryl azides. Other catalysts and conditions were neither as selective nor as high-yielding. This method was used to synthesize dimebolin in a concise and efficient manner.

- Rational design and simple chemistry yield a superior, neuroprotective HDAC6 inhibitor, tubastatin A
-
Structure-based drug design combined with homology modeling techniques were used to develop potent inhibitors of HDAC6 that display superior selectivity for the HDAC6 isozyme compared to other inhibitors. These inhibitors can be assembled in a few synthetic steps, and thus are readily scaled up for in vivo studies. An optimized compound from this series, designated Tubastatin A, was tested in primary cortical neuron cultures in which it was found to induce elevated levels of acetylated α-tubulin, but not histone, consistent with its HDAC6 selectivity. Tubastatin A also conferred dose-dependent protection in primary cortical neuron cultures against glutathione depletion-induced oxidative stress. Importantly, when given alone at all concentrations tested, this hydroxamate-containing HDAC6-selective compound displayed no neuronal toxicity, thus, forecasting the potential application of this agent and its analogues to neurodegenerative conditions.
