- 4-Dimethylaminopyridine-catalyzed synthesis of isothiocyanates from amines and carbon disulfide
-
Isothiocyanates were synthesized by reactions between primary amines and CS2 in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine as a catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant. Various aryl, benzyl, alkyl, and hydroxyl amines were transformed into the corresponding isothiocyanates in 41–82% yields.

- Na2S2O8-mediated efficient synthesis of isothiocyanates from primary amines in water
-
We have developed two green, practical, and efficient procedures, including a one-pot one, to synthesize isothiocyanates from amines and carbon disulfide via desulfurization with sodium persulfate. Water is used as the solvent. Basic conditions are necessary for good chemoselectivity for isothiocyanates. Structurally diverse linear and branched alkyl amines and aryl amines are readily converted to isothiocyanates by the two procedures in satisfactory yields. Halogens, benzylic C-H bonds, methylthio, nitro, ester, alkenyl, electron-rich or -deficient (hetero)aryls, acetylenyl, and even phenolic and alcoholic hydroxyls are well tolerated. The one-pot procedure in water can also be used to realize the preparation of chiral isothiocyanates from chiral amines, and the modification of bioactive structures with free amino groups. In large-scale preparation, simple and practical purification procedures independent of column chromatography are developed.

- Multimeric Near IR-MR Contrast Agent for Multimodal in Vivo Imaging
-
Multiple imaging modalities are often required for in vivo imaging applications that require both high probe sensitivity and excellent spatial and temporal resolution. In particular, MR and optical imaging are an attractive combination that can be used to determine both molecular and anatomical information. Herein, we describe the synthesis and in vivo testing of two multimeric NIR-MR contrast agents that contain three Gd(III) chelates and an IR-783 dye moiety. One agent contains a PEG linker and the other a short alkyl linker. These agents label cells with extraordinary efficacy and can be detected in vivo using both imaging modalities. Biodistribution of the PEGylated agent shows observable fluorescence in xenograft MCF7 tumors and renal clearance by MR imaging. (Figure Presented).

- Pyrazolopyrimidines: Potent Inhibitors Targeting the Capsid of Rhino- and Enteroviruses
-
There are currently no drugs available for the treatment of enterovirus (EV)-induced acute and chronic diseases such as the common cold, meningitis, encephalitis, pneumonia, and myocarditis with or without consecutive dilated cardiomyopathy. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of pyrazolopyrimidines, a well-tolerated and potent class of novel EV inhibitors. The compounds inhibit the replication of a broad spectrum of EV in vitro with IC50 values between 0.04 and 0.64 μM for viruses resistant to pleconaril, a known capsid-binding inhibitor, without affecting cytochrome P450 enzyme activity. Using virological and genetics methods, the viral capsid was identified as the target of the most promising, orally bioavailable compound 3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)amino-6-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-amine (OBR-5-340). Its prophylactic as well as therapeutic application was proved for coxsackievirus B3-induced chronic myocarditis in mice. The favorable pharmacokinetic, toxicological, and pharmacodynamics profile in mice renders OBR-5-340 a highly promising drug candidate, and the regulatory nonclinical program is ongoing. Curing the common cold! A cluster of pyrazolopyrimidines with potent broad-spectrum activity against enteroviruses was discovered. Extensive structure-property relationship analyses led to the identification of 3-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)amino-6-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-amine, shown to be a blocker of the viral capsid protein, as a lead compound for drug development with favorable physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological properties.

- Efficient preparation of isothiocyanates from dithiocarbamates using bromineless brominating reagent
-
For the first time, the crystal structure of a ditribromide reagent 1,1'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridinium bistribromide (EDPBT) has been determined. Utilizing this thiophilic bromineless brominating agent EDPBT, highly useful synthetic intermediates (alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates) have been achieved directly from dithiocarbamates. EDPBT can be easily prepared from readily available reagents. It has been used as a thiophilic reagent, and its thiophilicity dominates over its brominating ability for substrates amenable to bromination. This is a sustainable process for the preparation of isothiocyantes because the spent reagent can be recovered, regenerated, and reused. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Dithiocarbamates, by the action of iodine yield isothiocyanates in situ, which on treatment with aqueous NH3 give thioureas. The thioureas so generated undergo further oxidative desulfurization with I2 giving corresponding cyanamides in good yields.

The structures of the target compounds were confirmed with using IR, NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Their X-ray crystal analysis suggested that there were novel intermolecular (sp2CF?H3C) and intramolecular (sp 2CF?HN) hydrogen bonds between the fluorine atom on benzene ring and hydrogen atom of methyl group or amino group on five-membered heterocycle. Their fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani and Pyricuraria oryzae at 100 ppm were determined.

- Regioselective covalent modification of hemoglobin in search of antisickling agents
-
Although the molecular defect in sickle hemoglobin that produces sickle cell disease has been known for decades, there is still no effective drug treatment that acts on hemoglobin itself. In this work, a series of diversely substituted isothiocyanates (R-NCS) were examined for their regioselective reaction with hemoglobin in an attempt to alter the solubility properties of sickle hemoglobin. Electrospray mass spectrometry, molecular modeling, X-ray crystallography, and conventional protein chemistry were used to study this regioselectivity and the resulting increase in solubility of the modified hemoglobin. Depending on the attached R-group, the isothiocyanates were found to react either with the Cysβ93 or the N-terminal amine of the α-chain. One of the most effective compounds in the series, 2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl isothiocyanate, selectively reacts with the thiol of Cysβ93 which, in conjunction with the cationic group, was seen to perturb the local hemoglobin structure. This modified HbS shows an approximately 30% increase in solubility for the fully deoxygenated state, along with a significant increase in oxygen affinity. This compound and a related analogue appear to readily traverse the erythrocyte membrane. A discussion of the relation of these structural changes to inhibition of gelation is presented. The dual activities of increasing HbS oxygen affinity and directly inhibiting deoxy HbS polymerization, in conjunction with facile membrane traversal, suggest that these cationic isothiocyanates show substantial promise as lead compounds for development of therapeutic agents for sickle cell disease.

A series of compounds has been prepared with 4-butylsulfanylphenyl and 4-cyano- or 4-isothiocyanato-phenyl units connected by -CH=CH-, -COO-, -C≡C- , or -C≡C-COO- linking groups. The synthesis of the novel compounds is presented and the transition temperatures and optical parameters of the compounds are discussed and compared with those for related biphenyl reference systems. The ester linking group reduces optical and polarisability anisotropy, but the other linking groups give increased optical anisotropy (up to Δn = 0.50) and polarisability anisotropy [up to Δα = 45.2 A3 (10-30 m3)].

- A New Method for the Synthesis of Heptamethine Cyanine Dyes: Synthesis of New Near-Infrared Fluorescent Labels

A new uncatalyzed synthesis of heptamethine cyanine dyes is described.The reaction involves heating a mixture of N-alkyl-substituted quaternary salts derived from 2,3,3-trimethylindole or 2,3,3-trimethylbenzindole and 2-chloro-1-formyl-3-(hydroxymethylene)cyclohex-1-ene to reflux in a mixture of 1-butanol and benzene (7:3) as solvent.No catalyst is used, and water is removed as an azeotrope.The resulting chloro compounds possess strong absorption and fluorescence properties in the near-infrared region and are converted to dyes bearing reactive functionalities such as hydroxy and isothiocyanate groups useful as fluorescent tags for nucleic acids and proteins.Several symmetric and nonsymmetric dyes have been synthesized in high yields.
