- Remarkably Efficient Iridium Catalysts for Directed C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H Borylation of Diverse Classes of Substrates
-
Here we describe the discovery of a new class of C-H borylation catalysts and their use for regioselective C-H borylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic systems. The new catalysts have Ir-C(thienyl) or Ir-C(furyl) anionic ligands instead of the diamine-type neutral chelating ligands used in the standard C-H borylation conditions. It is reported that the employment of these newly discovered catalysts show excellent reactivity and ortho-selectivity for diverse classes of aromatic substrates with high isolated yields. Moreover, the catalysts proved to be efficient for a wide number of aliphatic substrates for selective C(sp3)-H bond borylations. Heterocyclic molecules are selectively borylated using the inherently elevated reactivity of the C-H bonds. A number of late-stage C-H functionalization have been described using the same catalysts. Furthermore, we show that one of the catalysts could be used even in open air for the C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H borylations enabling the method more general. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the active catalytic intermediate is the Ir(bis)boryl complex, and the attached ligand acts as bidentate ligand. Collectively, this study underlines the discovery of new class of C-H borylation catalysts that should find wide application in the context of C-H functionalization chemistry.

- Cyano-and ketone-containing selenoesters as multi-target compounds against resistant cancers
-
Fifteen selenocompounds, comprising of eight ketone-containing selenoesters (K1–K8, also known as oxoselenoesters) and seven cyano-containing selenoesters (N1–N7, known also as cyanoselenoesters), have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated as novel anticancer agents. These compounds are derivatives of previously reported active selenoesters and were prepared following a three-step one-pot synthetic route. The following evaluations were performed in their biological assessment: cytotoxicity determination, selectivity towards cancer cells in respect to non-cancer cells, checkerboard combination assay, ABCB1 inhibition and inhibition of ABCB1 ATPase activity, apoptosis induction, and wound healing assay. As key results, all the compounds showed cytotoxicity against cancer cells at low micromolar concentrations, with cyanoselenoesters being strongly selective. All of the oxoselenoesters, except K4, were potent ABCB1 inhibitors, and two of them, namely K5 and K6, enhanced the activity of doxorubicin in a synergistic manner. The majority of these ketone derivatives modulated the ATPase activity, showed wound healing activity, and induced apoptosis, with K3 being the most potent, with a potency close to that of the reference compound. To summarize, these novel derivatives have promising multi-target activity, and are worthy to be studied more in-depth in future works to gain a greater understanding of their potential applications against cancer.

- Hybrids of aurantiamide acetate and isopropylated genipin as potential anti-inflammatory agents: The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation
-
A novel series of hybrids designed on the basis of aurantiamide acetate and isopropylated genipin were synthesized and biologically evaluated as anti-inflammatory agents. Among them, compound 7o exhibited the best inhibitory activity against TNF-α secretion (IC50?=?16.90?μM) and was selected for further in vitro and in vivo functional study. The results demonstrated that 7o was capable of suppressing the expression of LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2, as well as reducing the production of NO at the concentration of 5?μM, which may be resulted from its regulation of NF-κB signaling and MAPK signaling. Moreover, compound 7o exhibited favorable in vivo anti-inflammatory activity with an inhibition rate of 53.32% against xylene-induced ear swelling in mice at the dose of 5?mg/kg.

- Synthesis and anti-rheumatoid arthritis activities of 3-(4-aminophenyl)-coumarin derivatives
-
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic disease characterised by an unknown aetiology of inflammatory synovitis. A large number of studies have shown that synoviocytes show tumour-like dysplasia in the pathological process of RA, and the changes in the expression of related cytokines are closely related to the pathogenesis of RA. In this thesis, a series of novel 3-(4-aminophenyl) coumarins containing different substituents were synthesised to find new coumarin anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The results of preliminary activity screening showed that compound 5e had the strongest inhibitory activity on the proliferation of fibroid synovial cells, and it also had inhibitory effect on RA-related cytokines IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α. The preliminary mechanism study showed that compound 5e could inhibit the activation of NF-κB and MAPKs signal pathway. The anti-inflammatory activity of compound 5ein?vivo was further determined in the rat joint inflammation model.

We report palladium-catalyzed intermolecular carboacylation of alkenes with ester electrophiles and tetraarylborate nucleophiles. Bicyclic alkenes react with a variety of pentafluorophenyl benzoate and alkanoate esters and sodium tetraarylborates to form ketone products in ≤99% yields. These reactions occur in the absence of a directing group and demonstrate esters are competent acyl electrophiles for intermolecular alkene carboacylation reactions.

Aberrant hedgehog (Hh) signaling is implicated in the development of a variety of cancers. Smoothened (Smo) protein is a bottleneck in the Hh signal transduction. The regulation of the Hh signaling pathway to target the Smo receptor is a practical approach for development of anticancer agents. We report herein the design and synthesis of a series of 2-methoxybenzamide derivatives as Hh signaling pathway inhibitors. The pharmacological data demonstrated that compound 21 possessed potent Hh pathway inhibition with a nanomolar IC50 value, and it prevented Shh-induced Smo from entering the primary cilium. Furthermore, mutant Smo was effectively suppressed via compound 21. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of compound 21 against a drug-resistant cell line gave encouraging results. This journal is

- Ni-Catalyzed Aryl Sulfide Synthesis through an Aryl Exchange Reaction
-
A Ni-catalyzed aryl sulfide synthesis through an aryl exchange reaction between aryl sulfides and a variety of aryl electrophiles was developed. By using 2-pyridyl sulfide as a sulfide donor, this reaction achieved the synthesis of aryl sulfides without using odorous and toxic thiols. The use of a Ni/dcypt catalyst capable of cleaving and forming aryl-S bonds was important for the aryl exchange reaction between 2-pyridyl sulfides and aryl electrophiles, which include aromatic esters, arenol derivatives, and aryl halides. Mechanistic studies revealed that Ni/dcypt can simultaneously undergo oxidative additions of aryl sulfides and aromatic esters, followed by ligand exchange between the generated aryl-Ni-SR and aryl-Ni-OAr species to furnish aryl exchanged compounds.

A Ni-catalyzed direct C-H alkylation ofN-quinolylbenzamides using alkylsilyl peroxides as alkyl-radical precursors is described. The reaction forms a new C(sp3)-C(sp2) bondviathe selective cleavage of both C(sp3)-C(sp3) and C(sp2)-H bonds. This transformation shows a high functional-group tolerance and, due to the structural diversity of alkylsilyl peroxides, a wide range of alkyl chains including functional groups and complex structures can be introduced at theortho-position of readily availableN-quinolylbenzamide derivatives. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction involves a radical mechanism.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of n-monosubstituted aroylthioureas as urease inhibitors
-
Background: Thiourea is a classical urease inhibitor which is usually used as a positive control, and many N,N'-disubstituted thioureas have been determined as urease inhibitors. However, due to steric hindrance, N,N'-disubstituted thiourea motif could not bind urease as thiourea. On the contrary, N-monosubstituted thiourea with a tiny thiourea motif could theoretically bind into the active pocket as thiourea. Objective: A series of N-monosubstituted aroylthioureas were designed and synthesized for evaluation as urease inhibitors. Methods: Urease inhibition was determined by the indophenol method and IC50 values were calculated using computerized linear regression analysis of quantal log dose-probit functions. The kinetic parameters were estimated via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and by nonlinear regression analysis based on the mixed type inhibition model derived from Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Results: Compounds b2, b11, and b19 reversibly inhibited urease with a mixed mechanism, and showed excellent potency against both cell-free urease and urease in the intact cell, with IC50 values being 90-to 450-fold and 5-to 50-fold lower than the positive control acetohydroxamic acid, respectively. The most potent compound b11 showed an IC50 value of 0.060 ± 0.004μM against cell-free urease, which bound to urea binding site with a very low KD value (0.420±0.003nM) and a very long residence time (6.7 min). Compound b11 was also demonstrated to have very low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells. Conclusion: The results revealed that N-monosubstituted aroylthioureas bound to the active site of urease as expected, and represent a new class of urease inhibitors for the development of potential therapeutics against infections caused by urease-containing pathogens.

The direct carboxylation of inert aryl C?H bond catalyzed by abundant and cheap nickel is still facing challenge. Herein, we report the Ni-catalyzed direct carboxylation of aryl C?H bonds in benzamides under 1 atm of CO2 to afford various methyl carboxylates or phthalimides, dealing with different post-processing. The reaction displays excellent functional group tolerance and affords moderate to high carboxylation yields under mild conditions. Detail mechanistic studies suggest that a Ni(0)?Ni(II)?Ni(I) catalytic cycle may be involved in this reaction. (Figure presented.).

- Discovery of a Novel Mycobacterial F-ATP Synthase Inhibitor and its Potency in Combination with Diarylquinolines
-
The F1FO-ATP synthase is required for growth and viability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is a validated clinical target. A mycobacterium-specific loop of the enzyme's rotary γ subunit plays a role in the coupling of ATP synthesis within the enzyme complex. We report the discovery of a novel antimycobacterial, termed GaMF1, that targets this γ subunit loop. Biochemical and NMR studies show that GaMF1 inhibits ATP synthase activity by binding to the loop. GaMF1 is bactericidal and is active against multidrug- as well as bedaquiline-resistant strains. Chemistry efforts on the scaffold revealed a dynamic structure activity relationship and delivered analogues with nanomolar potencies. Combining GaMF1 with bedaquiline or novel diarylquinoline analogues showed potentiation without inducing genotoxicity or phenotypic changes in a human embryonic stem cell reporter assay. These results suggest that GaMF1 presents an attractive lead for the discovery of a novel class of anti-tuberculosis F-ATP synthase inhibitors.

- Novel panaxadiol triazole derivatives induce apoptosis in HepG-2 cells through the mitochondrial pathway
-
In this study, we introduced 1, 2, 4-triazole groups into panaxadiol (PD) to obtain 18 panaxadiol triazole derivatives. Five cancer cells and one normal cell were evaluated for cytotoxicity by MTT assay. The results showed that most of the derivatives could inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and the anti-proliferative activity of compound A1 was the most significant. For HepG-2 cells, the IC50 value was 4.21 ± 0.54 μM, which was nearly 15 times higher than the activity of PD. Further studies showed that compound A1 could induce apoptosis in HepG-2 cells, and could enhance the expression of Cl-caspase-3, Cl-caspase-9 and Cl-PARP. Moreover, Western blot analysis showed that after treating HepG-2 cells with compound A1, the expression of p53 protein was increased and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 was gradually increased. The cytoplasmic Bax is then translocated to the mitochondria, causing the release of Cyt c protein. Therefore, the results indicate that compound A1 induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway and can be used the potential to develop new anti-proliferative agents.

Highly enantioselective desymmetrisation of Fittig's lactones with alcohols is promoted by bifunctional cinchona squaramides. The reactions were carried out with monodeuterated methanol to detect possible hidden racemisation of the stereogenic centre. Current evidence suggests that racemisation was not a relevant process for most substrates; partial erosion of enantioselectivity was only detected with ortho -substituted aryl derivates. The resultant glutaric acid derivatives possess a scaffold that is common in natural products and the compounds are also useful chiral building blocks for further synthetic endeavours.

- 4,5-Diaryl 3(2H)Furanones: Anti-inflammatory activity and influence on cancer growth
-
Apart from their anti-inflammatory action, COX inhibitors have gathered the interest of many scientists due to their potential use for the treatment and prevention of cancer. It has been shown that cyclooxygenase inhibitors restrict cancer cell growth and are able to interact with known antitumor drugs, enhancing their in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity. The permutation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic aryl groups in COX inhibitors leads to cardinal changes in the biological activity of the compounds. In the present study, thirteen heterocyclic coxib-like 4,5-diarylfuran-3(2H)-ones and their annelated derivatives-phenanthro[9,10-b]furan-3-ones-were synthesized and studied for anti-inflammatory and COX-1/2 inhibitory action and for their cytotoxic activity on the breast cancer (MCF-7) and squamous cell carcinoma (HSC-3) cell lines. The F-derivative of the -SOMe substituted furan-3(2H)-ones exhibited the best activity (COX-1 IC50 = 2.8 μM, anti-inflammatory activity (by carrageenan paw edema model) of 54% (dose 0.01 mmol/kg), and MCF-7 and HSC-3 cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 10 μM and 7.5 μM, respectively). A cytotoxic effect related to the COX-1 inhibitory action was observed and a synergistic effect with the anti-neoplastic drugs gefitinib and 5-fluorouracil was found. A phenanthrene derivative exhibited the best synergistic effect with gefitinib.

- Identification of Phenylpyrazolone Dimers as a New Class of Anti-Trypanosoma cruzi Agents
-
Chagas disease is becoming a worldwide problem; it is currently estimated that over six million people are infected. The two drugs in current use, benznidazole and nifurtimox, require long treatment regimens, show limited efficacy in the chronic phase of infection, and are known to cause adverse effects. Phenotypic screening of an in-house library led to the identification of 2,2′-methylenebis(5-(4-bromophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one), a phenyldihydropyrazolone dimer, which shows an in vitro pIC50 value of 5.4 against Trypanosoma cruzi. Initial optimization was done by varying substituents of the phenyl ring, after which attempts were made to replace the phenyl ring. Finally, the linker between the dimer units was varied, ultimately leading to 2,2′-methylenebis(5-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (NPD-0228) as the most potent analogue. NPD-0228 has an in vitro pIC50 value of 6.4 against intracellular amastigotes of T. cruzi and no apparent toxicity against the human MRC-5 cell line and murine cardiac cells.

- Cu-Mediated C-H Thioetherification of Arenes at Room Temperature
-
Cu-mediated C-H thioetherification of arenes with ethylene sulfide has been developed using a readily removable directing group. The reaction proceeded at room temperature, and a variety of sensitive functional groups including chloro, bromo, and vinyl were well tolerated. The thiolated products could be converted to the seven-membered benzoxathiepinones derivatives by a sequence of hydrolysis-lactonization reactions.

- Controllable construction of isoquinolinedione and isocoumarin scaffolds: Via RhIII-catalyzed C-H annulation of N -tosylbenzamides with diazo compounds
-
A highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of isoquinolinediones by RhIII-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation/decarboxylation of N-tosylbenzamides with diazo compounds is reported. The switchable synthesis of isocoumarins was also achieved successfully via C-H activation/annulation with slight modification of the reaction conditions. Importantly, the synthetic utility of this new reaction was further demonstrated in an atom-economical and operationally convenient total synthesis of a TDP2 inhibitor derivative from commercially available starting materials.

- Synthesis of novel nicotinic ligands with multimodal action: Targeting Acetylcholine α4β2, Dopamine and Serotonin Transporters
-
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), serotonin transporters (SERT) and dopamine transporters (DAT) represent targets for the development of novel nicotinic derivatives acting as multiligands associated with different health conditions, such as depressive, anxiety and addiction disorders. In the present work, a series of functionalized esters structurally related to acetylcholine and nicotine were synthesized and pharmacologically assayed with respect to these targets. The synthesized compounds were studied in radioligand binding assays at α4β2 nAChR, h-SERT and h-DAT. SERT experiments showed not radioligand [3H]-paroxetine displacement, but rather an increase in the radioligand binding percentage at the central binding site was observed. Compound 20 showed Ki values of 1.008 ± 0.230 μM for h-DAT and 0.031 ± 0.006 μM for α4β2 nAChR, and [3H]-paroxetine binding of 191.50% in h-SERT displacement studies, being the only compound displaying triple affinity. Compound 21 displayed Ki values of 0.113 ± 0.037 μM for α4β2 nAChR and 0.075 ± 0.009 μM for h-DAT acting as a dual ligand. Molecular docking studies on homology models of α4β2 nAChR, h-DAT and h-SERT suggested potential interactions among the compounds and agonist binding site at the α4/β2 subunit interfaces of α4β2 nAChR, central binding site of h-DAT and allosteric modulator effect in h-SERT.

- S-Adenosyl Methionine Cofactor Modifications Enhance the Biocatalytic Repertoire of Small Molecule C-Alkylation
-
A tandem enzymatic strategy to enhance the scope of C-alkylation of small molecules via the in situ formation of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) cofactor analogues is described. A solvent-exposed channel present in the SAM-forming enzyme SalL tolerates 5′-chloro-5′-deoxyadenosine (ClDA) analogues modified at the 2-position of the adenine nucleobase. Coupling SalL-catalyzed cofactor production with C-(m)ethyl transfer to coumarin substrates catalyzed by the methyltransferase (MTase) NovO forms C-(m)ethylated coumarins in superior yield and greater substrate scope relative to that obtained using cofactors lacking nucleobase modifications. Establishing the molecular determinants that influence C-alkylation provides the basis to develop a late-stage enzymatic platform for the preparation of high value small molecules.

- Design, synthesis, structure-activity relationships study and X-ray crystallography of 3-substituted-indolin-2-one-5-carboxamide derivatives as PAK4 inhibitors
-
We have previously described the identification of indolin-2-one-5-carboxamides as potent PAK4 inhibitors. This study expands the structure-activity relationships on our original series by presenting several modifications in the lead compounds, 2 and 3. A series of novel derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated in biochemical and cellular assay. Most of this series displayed nanomolar biochemical activity and potent antiproliferative activity against A549 and HCT116 cells. The representative compound 10a exhibited excellent enzyme inhibition (PAK4 IC50 = 25 nM) and cellular potency (A549 IC50 = 0.58 μM, HCT116 IC50 = 0.095 μM). An X-ray structure of compound 10a bound to PAK4 was obtained. Crystallographic analysis confirmed predictions from molecular modeling and helped refine SAR results. In addition, Compound 10a displayed focused multi-targeted kinase inhibition, good calculated drug-likeness properties. Further profiling of compound 10a revealed it showed weak inhibitory activity against various isoforms of human cytochrome P450.

- Synthesis of phthalic acid derivatives: Via Pd-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of aromatic C-H bonds with alkyl chloroformates
-
A Pd(ii)-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of aromatic C-H bonds with alkyl chloroformates has been developed. A broad range of benzamides and alkyl chloroformates are compatible with this protocol. The reaction is operationally simple and scalable. The direct group could be readily removed to access substituted phthalic acid esters (PAEs), 1,2-dibenzyl alcohols and phthalamides. Besides alkoxycarbonylation of benzamide β-C-H bonds, γ-alkoxycarbonylation of 2-phenylacetamide is also feasible.

By switching the reaction conditions, the C—H cyanated products and N-Ar-phthalimides can be provided in acceptable yields with high chemoselectivity, respectively. The use of quaternary ammonium salt is essential for cyanation reaction.

- Amide Effects in C?H Activation: Noncovalent Interactions with L-Shaped Ligand for meta Borylation of Aromatic Amides
-
A new concept for the meta-selective borylation of aromatic amides is described. It has been demonstrated that while esters gave para borylations, amides lead to meta borylations. For achieving high meta selectivity, an L-shaped bifunctional ligand has been employed and engages in an O???K noncovalent interaction with the oxygen atom of the moderately distorted amide carbonyl group. This interaction provides exceptional control for meta C?H activation/borylation.

-
We describe the development of a new method to use palladium catalysis to form functionalized aromatics: via the metathesis of covalent σ-bonds between Ar-X fragments. This transformation demonstrates the dynamic nature of palladium-based oxidative addition/reductive elimination and offers a straightforward approach to incorporate reactive functional groups into aryl halides through exchange reactions. The reaction has been exploited to assemble acid chlorides without the use of high energy halogenating or toxic reagents and, instead, via the metathesis of aryl iodides with other acid chlorides.

Morpholine amides are cheap and safe alternative to Weinreb amides as acylating agents of organometallic species. Herein, the in-situ lithiation/borylation of 18 ortho- meta- and para-substituted morpholine benzamides has been investigated. 10 of the 18 substrates provided the desired boronic esters as the major isomer (>90% regioselectivity) in crude isolated yields ranging from 68 to 93%. The synthetic usability of such building blocks was subsequently illustrated via the synthesis of a kinase inhibitor.

Opioid receptors play an important role in both behavioral and mood functions. Based on the structural modification of LY2456302, a series of aminobenzyloxyarylamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as κ opioid receptor antagonists. The κ opioid receptor binding ability of these compounds were evaluated with opioid receptors binding assays. Compounds 1a-d showed high affinity for κ opioid receptor. Especially for compound 1c, exhibited a significant Kivalue of 15.7?nM for κ opioid receptor binding and a higher selectivity over μ and δ opioid receptors compared to (±)LY2456302. In addition, compound 1c also showed potent κ antagonist activity with κ IC50?=?9.32?nM in [35S]GTP-γ-S functional assay. The potential use of the representative compounds as antidepressants was also investigated. The most potent compound 1c not only exhibited potent antidepressant activity in the mice forced swimming test, but also displayed the effect of anti-anxiety in the elevated plus-maze test.

- Facile synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of novel substituted azole derivatives
-
In this study, we synthesized the series of novel azole derivatives and evaluated for enzyme inhibition assays, corresponding kinetic analysis and molecular modeling. Among the investigated bioassays, the oxadiazole derivatives 4a-k were found potent α-glucosidase inhibitors while the Schiff base derivatives 7a-k exhibited considerable potential toward urease inhibition. The inhibition kinetics for the most active compounds were analyzed by the Lineweaver–Burk plots to investigate the possible binding modes of the synthesized compounds toward the tested proteins. Moreover, the detailed docking studies were performed on the synthesized library of 4a-k and 7a-k to study the molecular interaction and binding mode in the active site of the modeled yeast α-glucosidase and Jack Bean Urease, respectively. It could be inferred from docking results that theoretical studies are in close agreement to that of the experimental results. The structure of one of the compound 7k was characterized by the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis in order to find out the predominant conformation of the molecules.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of azaacridine derivatives as dual-target EGFR and Src kinase inhibitors for antitumor treatment
-
Overexpression of EGFR is often associated with advanced stage disease and poor prognosis. In certain cancers, Src works synergistically with EGFR to promote proliferation, survival, invasion and metastasis. Development of dual-target drugs against EGFR and Src is of therapeutic advantage against these cancers. Based on molecular docking and our previous studies, we rationally designed a new series of azaacridine derivatives as potent EGFR and Src dual inhibitors. Most of the synthesized azaacridines displayed good antiproliferative activity against K562 and A549?cells. The representative compound 13b showed nM IC50 values against K562 and A549?cells, and inhibited EGFR at inhibition rate of 33.53% at 10?μM and Src at inhibition rate of 72.12% at 1?μM. Furthermore, compound 13b could inhibit the expression of EGFR, p-EGFR, Src and p-Src. Moreover, 13b efficiently inhibited the invasion of tumor cells and induced cancer cells apoptosis. Our study suggested that azaacridine scaffold can be developed as novel multi-target kinase inhibitors for cancer therapy.

Structural stabilization followed by intramolecular as well as intermolecular H-bonds makes these molecules as perfect examples in molecular recognition with self-complementary donor and acceptor units within a single molecule. These compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activities. Docking simulations have been performed to position compounds into the FtsZ active site to determine their probable binding models. All of the compounds exhibited better antibacterial activities. Interestingly, compound 5c and 5d exhibited better antibacterial activities with IC50 values of 0.03 and 0.05 μmol/mL against Staphylococcus aureus, respectively.

Exceptionally high generality with respect to amine coupling partners is observed. Specifically, primary and secondary aliphatic and aromatic amines, heterocycles, such as indoles, pyrazole, and carbazole, sulfonamides, as well as electron-deficient aromatic and heteroaromatic amines are competent coupling components.
