- Preparation of high-magnetization Fe3O4-NH 2-Pd (0) catalyst for heck reaction
-
A magnetically separable Fe3O4-NH2-Pd (0) catalyst was easily synthesized by immobilizing Pd nanoparticles on the surface of magnetic Fe3O4-NH2 microspheres. It was found that the combination of Fe3O4 and triethylene tetramine (TETA) could give rise to structurally stable catalytic sites. Furthermore, the high-magnetization Fe3O4-NH 2-Pd(0) catalyst can be recovered by magnet and reused for six runs for Heck reaction without significant loss in catalytic activity.

- Pd-Catalyzed desulfitative arylation of olefins by: N -methoxysulfonamide
-
A novel Pd-catalyzed protocol for the desulfitative Heck-type reaction of N-methoxy aryl sulfonamides with alkenes was reported. The cross-coupling reaction was performed successfully with a variety of olefins to obtain aryl alkenes. Different substituents on the aromatic ring of N-methoxysulfonamides were also found to be compatible with the reaction conditions. Expectedly, the reaction proceeds through CuCl2-promoted generation of the nitrogen radical and subsequent desulfonylation under thermal conditions to afford the aryl radical for the Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction. N-Methoxysulfonamide was further exploited for the synthesis of symmetrical biaryls in the presence of CuCl2. This journal is

- Photocatalytic Oxidative [2+2] Cycloelimination Reactions with Flavinium Salts: Mechanistic Study and Influence of the Catalyst Structure
-
Flavinium salts are frequently used in organocatalysis but their application in photoredox catalysis has not been systematically investigated to date. We synthesized a series of 5-ethyl-1,3-dimethylalloxazinium salts with different substituents in the positions 7 and 8 and investigated their application in light-dependent oxidative cycloelimination of cyclobutanes. Detailed mechanistic investigations with a coumarin dimer as a model substrate reveal that the reaction preferentially occurs via the triplet-born radical pair after electron transfer from the substrate to the triplet state of an alloxazinium salt. The very photostable 7,8-dimethoxy derivative is a superior catalyst with a sufficiently high oxidation power (E=2.26 V) allowing the conversion of various cyclobutanes (with Eox up to 2.05 V) in high yields. Even compounds such as all-trans dimethyl 3,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclobutane-1,2-dicarboxylate can be converted, whose opening requires a high activation energy due to a missing pre-activation caused by bulky adjacent substituents in cis-position.

- Amino Group Functionalized Hf-Based Metal-Organic Framework for Knoevenagel-Doebner Condensation
-
A Hf(IV) metal-organic framework (MOF) with di-amino functionalized linker was obtained as a crystalline solid with UiO-67 topology under solvothermal reaction conditions. The guest free form of Hf(IV) MOF (1′) was efficiently employed as a heterogeneous catalyst to synthesize cinnamic acid derivatives via Knoevenagel-Doebner reaction for the first time. The catalyst (1′) was efficiently active to directly achieve cinnamic acid from benzaldehyde and malonic acid. The solid retained its activity up to 6th cycle with no decay in its activity. The noticeable advantages of the catalyst are its milder reaction conditions, high yield, high stability, recyclable nature towards catalysis and wide substrate scope as well as shape-selective behaviour. The possible mechanism of the reaction was also studied thoroughly with suitable control experiments.

- Enantioselective Rauhut–Currier Reaction with β-Substituted Acrylamides Catalyzed by N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
-
β-Substituted acrylamides have low electrophilicity and are yet to be exploited in the enantioselective Rauhut–Currier reaction. By exploiting electron-withdrawing protection of the amide and moderate nucleophilicity N-heterocyclic carbenes, such substrates have been converted to enantioenriched quinolones. The reaction proceeds with complete diastereoselectivity, good yield, and modest enantioselectivity. Derivatizations are reported, as are computational studies, supporting decreased amide bond character with electron-withdrawing protection of the nitrogen.

- Synthesis, crystal structure, and catalytic activity of bridged-bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) palladium(II) complexes in selective Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions
-
A series of three 1,3-propanediyl bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes (Pd-BNH1, Pd-BNH2, and Pd-BNH3), with + I effect order of the N-substituents of the ligand (isopropyl > benzyl > methoxyphenyl), was the subject of a spectroscopic, structural, computational and catalytic investigation. The bis(NHC)PdBr2 complexes were evaluated in Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions of aryl bromides with styrene or acrylate derivatives and showed high catalytic efficiency to produce diarylethenes and cinnamic acid derivatives. The X-ray structure of the most active palladium complex Pd-BNH3 shows that the Pd(II) center is bonded to the two carbon atoms of the bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) and two bromide ligands in cis position, resulting in a distorted square planar geometry. The NMR data of Pd-BNH3 are consistent with a single chair-boat rigid conformer in solution with no dynamic behavior of the 8-membered ring palladacycle in the temperature range 25–120 °C. The catalytic activities of three Pd-bridged bis(NHC) complexes in the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions were not found to have a direct correlation with +I effect order of the N-substituents of the ligand. However, a direct correlation was found between the DFT calculated absolute softness of the three complexes with their respective catalytic activity. The highest calculated softness, in the case of Pd-BNH3, is expected to favor the coordination steps of both the soft aryl bromides and alkenes in the Heck catalytic cycle.

- Water-initiated hydrocarboxylation of terminal alkynes with CO2and hydrosilane
-
This work discloses a Cu(ii)-Ni(ii) catalyzed tandem hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with polysilylformate formed from CO2and polymethylhydrosiloxane that affords α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with up to 93% yield. Mechanistic studies indicate that polysilylformate functions as a source of CO and polysilanol. Besides, a catalytic amount of water is found to be critical to the reaction, which hydrolyzes polysilylformate to formic acid that induces the formation of Ni-H active species, thereby initiating the catalytic cycle.

- Synthesis, in vitro cytotoxicity, and molecular docking study of novel 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one based piperlongumine analogues
-
With the aim of expanding the scope of SAR on piperlongumine (PL), a naturally occurring anticancer molecule, we have designed a novel hybrid molecule bearing 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one and trans-cinnamic acids. The structure, based on hybridization strategy, is used for hybridization of naturally occurring scaffolds. We have synthesized 14 hybrid molecules by coupling 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one core with cinnamic acids using the mix anhydride approach. The newly synthesized inhibitors were evaluated for cell viability against breast cancer MCF-7 and cervical cancer HeLa cell lines. Furthermore, the active compounds were screened for their potential in breast cancer MDA-MB-231, cervical cancer C33A cell lines, prostate cancer DU-145, PC-3, and normal VERO cells. From the series, compound 10g was seen to inhibit MCF-7 cell growth significantly with GI50 50 = 20 μM) and C33A (GI50 = 3.2 μM). While the inhibitor 10i inhibits MCF-7 breast cancer cell growth GI50 = 3.42 μM along with inhibition of cell growth in MDA-MB-231 (GI50 = 30 μM), HeLa (GI50 = 7.67 μM), C33A (GI50 = 13 μM), DU-145 (GI50 = 6.45 μM), PC-3 (GI50 = 8.68 μM), and VERO (GI50 = 2.93 μM), respectively. Furthermore, molecular docking study demonstrated these compounds could bind tightly to the colchicine domain of tubulin through a network of favorable steric and electrostatic interactions and thus act as a tubulin polymerization inhibitor.

- Discovery of Novel Benzothiazepinones as Irreversible Covalent Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β Inhibitors for the Treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
-
Recently, irreversible inhibitors have attracted great interest in antitumors due to their advantages of forming covalent bonds to target proteins. Herein, some benzothiazepinone compounds (BTZs) have been designed and synthesized as novel covalent GSK-3β inhibitors with high selectivity for the kinase panel. The irreversible covalent binding mode was identified by kinetics and mass spectrometry, and the main labeled residue was confirmed to be the unique Cys14 that exists only in GSK-3β. The candidate 4-3 (IC50 = 6.6 μM) showed good proliferation inhibition and apoptosis-inducing ability to leukemia cell lines, low cytotoxicity on normal cell lines, and no hERG inhibition, which hinted the potential efficacy and safety. Furthermore, 4-3 exhibited decent pharmacokinetic properties in vivo and remarkably inhibited tumor growth in the acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) mouse model. All the results suggest that these newly irreversible BTZ compounds might be useful in the treatment of cancer such as APL.

- Highly efficient oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids using a polyoxometalate-supported chromium(iii) catalyst and CO2
-
Direct catalytic oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids is very attractive, but economical catalysis systems have not yet been well established. Here, we show that a pure inorganic ligand-supported chromium compound, (NH4)3[CrMo6O18(OH)6] (simplified as CrMo6), could be used to effectively promote this type of reaction in the presence of CO2. In almost all cases, oxidation of various alcohols (aromatic and aliphatic) could be achieved under mild conditions, and the corresponding carboxylic acids can be achieved in high yield. The chromium catalyst 1 can be reused several times with little loss of activity. Mechanism study and control reactions demonstrate that the acidification proceeds via the key oxidative immediate of aldehydes.

- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel cinnamic acid-tryptamine hybrid for inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase
-
Background: Acetylcholine deficiencies in hippocampus and cortex, aggregation of β-amyloid, and β-secretase over activity have been introduced as main reasons in pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: Colorimetric Ellman’s method was used for determination of IC50 value in AChE and BChE inhibitory activity. The kinetic studies, neuroprotective and β-secretase inhibitory activities, evaluation of inhibitory potency on β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregations induced by AChE, and docking study were performed for prediction of the mechanism of action. Result and discussion: A new series of cinnamic acids-tryptamine hybrid was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as dual cholinesterase inhibitors. These compounds demonstrated in-vitro inhibitory activities against acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) and butyryl cholinesterase (BChE). Among of these synthesized compounds, (E)-N-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylamide (5q) demonstrated the most potent AChE inhibitory activity (IC50 = 11.51?μM) and (E)-N-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-3-(2-chlorophenyl)acrylamide (5b) were the best anti-BChE (IC50 = 1.95?μM) compounds. In addition, the molecular modeling and kinetic studies depicted 5q and 5b were mixed type inhibitor and bound with both the peripheral anionic site (PAS) and catalytic sites (CAS) of AChE and BChE. Moreover, compound 5q showed mild neuroprotective in PC12 cell line and weak β-secretase inhibitory activities. This compound also inhibited aggregation of β-amyloid (Aβ) in self-induced peptide aggregation test at concentration of 10?μM. Conclusion: It is worth noting that both the kinetic study and the molecular modeling of 5q and 5b depicted that these compounds simultaneously interacted with both the catalytic active site and the peripheral anionic site of AChE and BChE. These findings match with those resulted data from the enzyme inhibition assay. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Representative enzymatic transformations under micellar conditions are unaffected by the presence of non-ionic surfactants, including designer surfactants such as TPGS-750-M. Furthermore, the presence of enzymes has a negligible effect on transition metal catalysis under micellar conditions in water. Finally, three one-pot chemoenzymatic reactions in water are reported in which the micelle-forming surfactant TPGS-750-M is a crucial factor for reaction efficiency.

- Knoevenagel-Doebner condensation promoted by chitosan as a reusable solid base catalyst
-
The development of green and sustainable processes using naturally occurring biopolymers is becoming one of the suitable remedies to replace the conventional catalytic systems that generate large amount of byproducts with high risk factors. In this context, although Knoevenagel-Doebner condensation reaction has been reported with many organocatalysts including proline, no attempts were made to develop heterogeneous catalysts with environmental concerns. Considering these factors in mind, the title reaction is studied with chitosan as a heterogeneous solid base catalyst for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids through the condensation followed by decarboxylation reactions. Chitosan offers many advantages including high stability as evidenced by leaching, reusability tests, wide substrate scope and providing higher yields of the desired products with high purity. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and elemental analysis revealed that there are no major changes in the structural integrity and morphology of chitosan before and after catalysis under the optimized reaction conditions.

- Introducing of potent cytotoxic novel 2-(aroylamino)cinnamamide derivatives against colon cancer mediated by dual apoptotic signal activation and oxidative stress
-
Curcumin and trans-cinnamaldehyde are acrolein-based Michael acceptor compounds that are commonly found in domestic condiments, and known to cause cancer cell death via redox mechanisms. Based on the structural features of these compounds we designed and synthesized several 2-cinnamamido-N-substituted-cinnamamide (bis-cinnamamide) compounds. One of the derivatives, (Z)-2-[(E)-cinnamamido]-3-phenyl-N-propylacrylamide 8 showed a moderate antiproliferative potency (HCT-116 cell line inhibition of 32.0 μM), no inhibition of normal cell lines C-166, and proven cellular activities leading to apoptosis. SAR studies led to more than 10-fold increase in activity. Our most promising compound, [(Z)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-N-propyl-2-[(E)-3-(thien-2-yl)propenamido)propenamide] 45 killed colon cancer cells at IC50 = 0.89 μM (Caco-2), 2.85 μM (HCT-116) and 1.65 μM (HT-29), while exhibiting much weaker potency on C-166 and BHK normal cell lines (IC50 = 71 μM and 77.6 μM, respectively). Cellular studies towards identifying the compounds mechanism of cytotoxic activities revealed that apoptotic induction occurs in part as a result of oxidative stress. Importantly, the compounds showed inhibition of cancer stem cells that are critical for maintaining the potential for self-renewal and stemness. The results presented here show discovery of covalently acting Michael addition compounds that potently kill cancer cells by a defined mechanism, with prominent selectivity profile over non-cancerous cell lines.

- Radical-Cation Vinylcyclopropane Rearrangements by TiO2Photocatalysis
-
Radical cation vinylcyclopropane rearrangements by TiO2 photocatalysis in lithium perchlorate/nitromethane solution are described. The reactions are triggered by oxidative single electron transfer, which is followed by immediate ring-opening of the cyclopropanes to generate distonic radical cations as unique reactive intermediates. This approach can also be applied to vinylcyclobutane, leading to the construction of six-membered rings. A stepwise mechanism via distonic radical cations is proposed based on preliminary mechanistic studies, which is supported by density functional theory calculations.

- Toward a Scalable Synthesis and Process for EMA401, Part II: Development and Scale-Up of a Pyridine- A nd Piperidine-Free Knoevenagel-Doebner Condensation
-
During route scouting for EMA401 (1), an angiotensin II type 2 antagonist, we identified the synthesis of key amino acid intermediate 2 via its cinnamic acid derivative 3 as a streamlined option. In general, cinnamic acids can be synthesized from the corresponding aldehydes by a Knoevenagel-Doebner condensation in pyridine with piperidine as an organocatalyst. We aimed to replace both of these reagents and found novel conditions involving toluene as the solvent and morpholine as the organocatalyst. Scale-up of the process allowed the production of 25 kg of cinnamic acid 3 that was of the quality required for process development of the subsequent phenylalanine ammonia lyase-catalyzed step. The modified conditions were found to be widely applicable to alternative aldehydes and thus are of relevance to practitioners of chemical scale-up.

A new mesoporous organic–inorganic nanocomposite was formulated and then used as stabilizer and support for the preparation of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs). The properties and structure of Pd NPs immobilized on prepared 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) chemically tagged on mesoporous γ-Fe2O3@hydroxyapatite (ionic modified (IM)-MHA) were investigated using various techniques. The synergistic effects of the combined properties of MHA, DABCO and Pd NPs, and catalytic activity of γ-Fe2O3@hydroxyapatite-DABCO-Pd (IM-MHA-Pd) were investigated for the Heck cross-coupling reaction in aqueous media. The appropriate surface area and pore size of mesoporous IM-MHA nanocomposite can provide a favourable hard template for immobilization of Pd NPs. The loading level of Pd in the nanocatalyst was 0.51?mmol?g?1. DABCO bonded to the MHA surface acts as a Pd NP stabilizer and can also lead to colloidal stability of the nanocomposite in aqueous solution. The results reveal that IM-MHA-Pd is highly efficient for coupling reactions of a wide range of aryl halides with olefins under green conditions. The superparamagnetic nature of the nanocomposite means that the catalyst to be easily separated from solution through magnetic decantation, and the catalytic activity of the recycled IM-MHA-Pd showed almost no appreciable loss even after six consecutive runs.

- Oxime-derived palladacycle Immobilized in an Ionic Liquid Brush as an Efficient and Reusable Catalyst for Mozoroki-Heck Reaction in Neat Water
-
An efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst with oxime-derived palladacycle immobilized in an ionic liquid brush has been synthesized and an environmentally-friendly procedure have been developed for coupling aryl iodides and bromides with acrylic acid. These reactions were conducted in neat water under aerobic conditions with water-insoluble or even solid aryl halides and they proceeded smoothly and cleanly without any organic co-solvent or other additives. The ionic liquid brush could be easily recovered and reused at least five times without significant loss of activity. The protocol has the advantages of excellent yields, environmental friendliness, and catalyst recyclability.

- Palladium catalyst immobilized on functionalized microporous organic polymers for C-C coupling reactions
-
Two microporous organic polymer immobilized palladium (MOP-Pd) catalysts were prepared from benzene and 1,10-phenanthroline by Scholl coupling reaction and Friedel-Crafts reaction, respectively. The structure and composition of the catalyst were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, N2 sorption, SEM, TEM, ICP-AES and XPS. MOP-Pd catalysts were found to possess high specific surface areas, large pore volume and low skeletal bone density. Moreover, the immobilized catalyst also had advantages, such as readily available raw materials, chemical and thermal stability, and low synthetic cost. The Pd catalyst is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for carbon-carbon (C-C) coupling reactions, such as the Heck reaction and Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, affording good to high yields. In these reactions, the catalyst was easily recovered and reused five times without significant activity loss.

- Co-catalysis over a tri-functional ligand modified Pd-catalyst for hydroxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes towards α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids
-
An amphiphilic tri-functional ligand (L1) containing a Lewis acidic phosphonium cation, a phosphino-fragment and a hydrophilic sulfonate anion (-SO3-) enabled Pd(OAc)2 to efficiently co-catalyze the hydroxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes towards α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. These incorporated functional groups synergistically promoted the reaction, which proved more effective than the ligands lacking -SO3- and/or phosphonium and the mechanical mixtures of the individual functional groups independently. The molecular structure of Pd-L1 indicated that -SO3- in L1 served as a secondary O-donor ligand with reversible coordinating ability, cooperating with the phosphino-fragment to stabilize the Pd-catalyst. The in situ FT-IR analysis verified that the formation and stability of Pd-H active species in charge of hydroxycarbonylation were dramatically facilitated by the presence of L1. It was believed that, over the L1-based Pd-catalyst, H2O was cooperatively activated by the Lewis acidic phosphonium via "acid-base pair" interaction (H2O → P(v)+) and by the hydrophilic SO3-via hydrogen bonding (SO3-?H2O), giving rise to the formation of dimeric and mono-nuclear Pd-H species driven by reversible SO3--coordination. In addition, the L1-based Pd-catalyst could be immobilized in the ionic liquid [Bmim]NTf2 for six-run recycling uses without obvious activity loss and detectable metal leaching.

- Pd-Catalyzed Synthesis of Vinyl Arenes from Aryl Halides and Acrylic Acid
-
Acrylic acid is presented as an inexpensive, non-volatile vinylating agent in a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative vinylation of aryl halides. The reaction proceeds through a Heck reaction of acrylic acid, immediately followed by protodecarboxylation of the cinnamic acid intermediate. The use of the carboxylate group as a deciduous directing group ensures high selectivity for monoarylated products. The vinylation process is generally applicable to diversely substituted substrates. Its utility is shown by the synthesis of drug-like molecules and the gram-scale preparation of key intermediates in drug synthesis.

-
Cinnamic acid and its derivatives are known for anti-tubercular activity. The present study reports the synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives via bioisosteric replacement of terminal carboxylic acid with “oxadiazole”. A series of cinnamic acid derivatives (styryl oxadiazoles) were designed and synthesized in good yields by reaction of substituted cinnamic acids (2, 15a-15s) with amidoximes. The synthesized styryl oxadiazoles were evaluated in vitro for anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Ra strain. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) study has identified several compounds with mixed anti-tubercular profiles. The compound 32 displayed potent anti-tubercular activity (IC50 = 0.045 μg/mL). Molecular docking studies on mycobacterial enoyl-ACP reductase enzyme corroborated well with the experimental findings providing a platform for structure based hit-to-lead development.

Abstract: A series of amides based on (2S)-cyanopyrrolidine and α, β-unsaturated aryl- and hetarylcarboxylic acids have been synthesized. The dependence of the hypoglycemic activity of compounds on the structure of the aromatic fragment has been studied in the oral glucose tolerance test in mice. Amides based on (E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoic and (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoic acids and (2S)-cyanopyrrolidine have been shown to significantly reduce blood glucose levels in mice. The observed hypoglycemic effect at a dose of 10 mg/kg is comparable to the effect of hypoglycemic drug vildagliptin.

- β-Carboline and N-hydroxycinnamamide hybrids as anticancer agents for drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma
-
In an effort to develop anticancer agents that may overcome drug resistance, the number one reason in caner death, we have developed a series of novel hybrids of β-carboline and N-hydroxycinnamamide as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. Most of the hybrids 13a-p showed strong antiproliferative effects with low-micromolar IC50 values against four human cancer cells. The most potent compound of series 13p exhibited high HDAC1/6 inhibitory effects, and also increased the acetylation levels of histone H3, H4 and α-tubulin. Importantly, 13p demonstrated high anticancer potency against drug-sensitive HepG2 and Bel7402 cells and drug-resistant Bel7402/5FU cells. Hybrid 13p triggered significant apoptosis by regulating apoptotic relative proteins expression in these Bel7402/5FU cells. Finally, 13p induced a substantial amount of autophagic flux activity by the accretion of the expression of LC3-II and the degeneration of expression of p62 and LC3-I in Bel7402/5FU cells. Overall, 13p is a novel β-carboline/N-hydroxycinnamamide hybrid with significant anticancer potency that warrants further evaluation for the treatment of drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma.

- Synthesis, preliminarily biological evaluation and molecular docking study of new Olaparib analogues as multifunctional PARP-1 and cholinesterase inhibitors
-
A series of new Olaparib derivatives was designed and synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases-1 (PARP-1) enzyme and cancer cell line MDA-MB-436 in vitro were evaluated. The results showed that compound 5l exhibited the most potent inhibitory effects on PARP-1 enzyme (16.10 ± 1.25 nM) and MDA-MB-436 cancer cell (11.62 ± 2.15 μM), which was close to that of Olaparib. As a PARP-1 inhibitor had been reported to be viable to neuroprotection, in order to search for new multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the inhibitory activities of the synthesized compounds against the enzymes AChE (from electric eel) and BChE (from equine serum) were also tested. Compound 5l displayed moderate BChE inhibitory activity (9.16 ± 0.91 μM) which was stronger than neostigmine (12.01 ± 0.45 μM) and exhibited selectivity for BChE over AChE to some degree. Molecular docking studies indicated that 5l could bind simultaneously to the catalytic active of PARP-1, but it could not interact well with huBChE. For pursuit of PARP-1 and BChE dual-targeted inhibitors against AD, small and flexible non-polar groups introduced to the compound seemed to be conducive to improving its inhibitory potency on huBChE, while keeping phthalazine-1-one moiety unchanged which was mainly responsible for PARP-1 inhibitory activity. Our research gave a clue to search for new agents based on AChE and PARP-1 dual-inhibited activities to treat Alzheimer’s disease.

- Novel morpholine containing cinnamoyl amides as potent tyrosinase inhibitors
-
Tyrosinase enzyme plays a crucial role in melanin biosynthesis and enzymatic browning process of vegetables and fruits. Hence, tyrosinase inhibitors are important in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and agriculture. In this study, novel N-(2-morpholinoethyl)cinnamamide derivatives bearing different substituents on phenyl ring were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their tyrosinase diphenolase inhibitory activity. The compounds were found to be better tyrosinase inhibitors (IC50s were in micro molar range) than cinnamic acid. (E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-N-(2-morpholinoethyl)acrylamide (B6) exhibited the highest inhibition with IC50 value of 15.2 ± 0.6 μM which was comparable to that of kojic acid. The inhibition kinetic analysis of B6 indicated that the compound was a mixed-type tyrosinase inhibitor. In silico ADME prediction indicated that B6 might show more skin penetration than kojic acid. Molecular docking analysis confirmed that the active inhibitors well accommodated in the mushroom tyrosinase active site and it was also revealed that B6 formed the most stable drug-receptor complex with the target protein. Therefore, cinnamamide B6 could be introduced as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor that might be a promising lead in cosmetics, medicine and food industry.

- An efficient and new protocol for the Heck reaction using palladium nanoparticle-engineered dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether/MCM-41 nanocomposite in water
-
Palladium nanoparticle-incorporated mesoporous organosilica (MCM-41-Crown.Pd) was synthesized via the grafting of dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether moieties on the MCM-41 surface, followed by reaction of the nanocomposite with palladium acetate and then its reduction in ethanol. The cavity of the immobilized dibenzo-18-crown-6 as host material can stabilize the palladium nanoparticles effectively and prevent their aggregation and separation from the surface. The structure of the nanocomposite was characterized using various techniques. The catalytic properties of the nanocomposite in the Heck coupling reaction, one of the most useful transformations in organic synthesis, between aryl halides and olefins in water were also explored. The main advantages of the method are low cost, high yields, easy work-up and short reaction time. The nanocatalyst can be easily separated from a reaction mixture and was successfully examined for seven runs, with a slight loss of catalytic activity.

- An Efficient Aerobic Oxidation Protocol of Aldehydes to Carboxylic Acids in Water Catalyzed by an Inorganic-Ligand-Supported Copper Catalyst
-
A method for the aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids in water by using an inorganic-ligand-supported copper catalyst was developed. This method was performed with the use of atmospheric oxygen as the sole oxidant under extremely mild aqueous conditions, and furthermore, a wide range of aldehydes with various functional groups were tolerated. The copper catalyst could be recycled and used in successive reactions at least six times without any appreciable degradation in performance. This method is operationally simple and avoids the use of high-costing, toxic, air/moisture-sensitive, and commercially unavailable organic ligands. The generality of this method gives it potential to be used on the industrial scale.

- Discovery and anti-inflammatory evaluation of benzothiazepinones (BTZs) as novel non-ATP competitive inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β)
-
Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) has been identified to promote inflammation and its inhibitors have also been proven to treat some inflammatory mediated diseases in animal models. Non-ATP competitive inhibitors inherently have better therapeutical value due to their higher specificity than ATP competitive ones. In this paper, we designed and synthesized a series of new BTZ derivatives as non-ATP competitive GSK-3β inhibitors. Kinetic analysis revealed two typical compounds 6j and 3j showed the different non-ATP competitive mechanism of substrate competition or allosteric modulation to GSK-3β, respectively. As expected, the two compounds showed good specificity in a panel test of 16 protein kinases, even to the closest enzymes, like CDK-1/cyclin B and CK-II. The in vivo results proved that both compounds can greatly attenuate the LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and diminish inflammation response in mice by inhibiting the mRNA expression of IL-1β and IL-6. Western blot analysis demonstrated that they negatively regulated GSK-3β, and the mechanism of the observed beneficial effects of the inhibitors may involve both the increased phosphorylation of the Ser9 residue on GSK-3β and protein expression of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). The results support that such novel BTZ compounds have a protective role in LPS-induced ALI, and might be attractive candidates for further development of inflammation pharmacotherapy, which greatly thanks to their inherently high selectivities by the non-ATP competitive mode of action. Finally, we proposed suggesting binding modes by Docking study to well explain the impacts of compounds on the target site.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation against Chikungunya virus of novel small-molecule antiviral agents
-
Chikungunya virus is a re-emerging arbovirus transmitted to humans by mosquitoes, responsible for an acute flu-like illness associated with debilitating arthralgia, which can persist for several months or become chronic. In recent years, this viral infection has spread worldwide with a previously unknown virulence. To date, no specific antivirals treatments nor vaccines are available against this important pathogen. Starting from the structures of two antiviral hits previously identified in our research group with in silico techniques, this work describes the design and preparation of 31 novel structural analogues, with which different pharmacophoric features of the two hits have been explored and correlated with the inhibition of Chikungunya virus replication in cells. Structure-activity relationships were elucidated for the original scaffolds, and different novel antiviral compounds with EC50 values in the low micromolar range were identified. This work provides the foundation for further investigation of these promising novel structures as antiviral agents against Chikungunya virus.

- Palladium nanoparticles immobilized on amphiphilic and hyperbranched polymer-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles: An efficient semi-heterogeneous catalyst for Heck reaction
-
To address the obstacles facing the use of palladium-based homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts in C─C cross-coupling reactions, a novel semi-heterogeneous support was developed based on hyperbranched poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(citric acid)-functionalized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PCA-b-PEG). Because of the surface modification of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles with amphiphilic and hyperbranched polymers (PCA-b-PEG), these hybrid materials are not only soluble in a wide range of solvents (e.g. water, ethanol and dimethylformamide) but also are able to trap Pd2+ ions via complex formation of free carboxyl groups of the PCA dendrimer with metal ions. The reduction of trapped palladium ions in the dendritic shell of Fe3O4@PCA-b-PEG leads to immobilized palladium nanoparticles. The morphology and structural features of the catalyst were characterized using various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The catalyst was effectively used in the palladium-catalysed Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction in water as a green solvent. In addition, the catalyst can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by applying an external magnetic field and reused for more than ten consecutive cycles without much loss in activity, exhibiting an example of a sustainable and green methodology.
