- Arylsulfonylhydrazone induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells
-
Background: Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women. Chemotherapy is necessary for treating metastatic disease and represents an important therapeutic approach, although antineoplastic drugs have high toxicity and may be limited by the development of drug resistance. These problems impose an urgent need to discover new anticancer agents and, so, arylsulfonylhydrazone analogues were designed, synthesized, and evaluated with regard to their cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cells in order to identify novel potential antitumor agents. Methods: Synthesis was performed as previously described by Fernandes and co-workers. Cytotoxicity of sulfonylhydrazones against MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and 3T3 cells was evaluated by MTT method. Apoptotic effects was verified by Annexin-V/PI assay, Hoechst stain and propidium iodide stain. Molecular modeling was executed using Spartan’10 version 1.1.0. Geometry optimization was performed by the MMFF, PM6 and Hartree-Fock 3-31G* methods and electronic and lipophilic properties were computed. Results: Thirteen analogues were synthesized, which 3f and 4f were cytotoxic against evaluated breast cancer cells. The most promising compound, 3f, showed IC50 values equal to 104.6 and 142.4 μM for MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7, respectively. 3f induced apoptosis, causing phosphatidylserine externalization, pyknosis, and cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Furthermore, 3f was selective for tumor cells when compared to 3T3 fibroblasts. Structure-activity relationship suggests that introduction of a benzodioxol group increased cytotoxicity and superior lipophilicity may be related to superior activity. Conclusion: Sulfonylhydrazone analogues presented good activity against breast cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and might be a promising scaffold to further molecular modifications persuing more effective antitumoral agents.

- Synthesis of Di- and Triarylmethanes through Palladium-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of N -Tosylhydrazones and Aryl Bromides
-
A palladium-catalyzed reductive coupling between N-tosylhydrazones and aryl bromides has been developed. The reaction provides an efficient method for the synthesis of diarylmethanes and triarylmethanes via the formation of C(sp2)-C(sp3) single bonds. This new methodology for the synthesis of diarylmethanes and triarylmethanes is featured by the ready availability of the starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and the tolerance of wide range of functional groups. The reaction follows a pathway including palladium carbene formation, migratory insertion, and reduction of the alkylpalladium(II) intermediate.

- Synthesis of Benzyltributylstannanes by the Reaction of N-Tosylhydrazones with Bu3SnH
-
An efficient stannylation process with N-tosylhydrazones or directly with carbonyl compounds has been developed. A series of functionalized benzyl- and alkyltributylstannanes can be synthesized in moderate to good yields under transition-metal-free conditions. Tandem transformations involving stannylation/Stille cross-coupling reaction have been carried out without purification of the benzyltributylstannane intermediates to afford a series of diarylmethane derivatives.

- Tetrazole-Based Probes for Integrated Phenotypic Screening, Affinity-Based Proteome Profiling, and Sensitive Detection of a Cancer Biomarker
-
Target-identification phenotypic screening has been a powerful approach in drug discovery; however, it is hindered by difficulties in identifying the underlying cellular targets. To address this challenge, we have combined phenotypic screening of a fully functionalized small-molecule library with competitive affinity-based proteome profiling to map and functionally characterize the targets of screening hits. Using this approach, we identified ANXA2, PDIA3/4, FLAD1, and NOS2 as primary cellular targets of two bioactive molecules that inhibit cancer cell proliferation. We further demonstrated that a panel of probes can label and/or image annexin A2 (a cancer biomarker) from different cancer cell lines, thus providing opportunities for potential cancer diagnosis and therapy.

-
An efficient one-pot N-alkylation of benzimidazole and benzotriazole from carbonyl compounds and tosylhydrazide has been accomplished via copper powder-catalyzed N - H bond insertion affording N-alkylated products in good yields. The reaction can tolerate a wide range of carbonyl compounds, such as aryl, alkyl, heterocyclic and α,β-unsaturated ketones, and aldehydes.

- A simple method for the synthesis of substituted benzylic ketones: Homologation of aldehydes via the in situ generation of aryldiazomethanes from aromatic aldehydes
-
A general method for the homologation of aldehydes to benzylic ketones has been developed. Aryldiazomethanes were generated in situ in the presence of an aldehyde by simply heating the tosylhydrazones of aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of base in polar protic solvents. The resulting polar protic solvent promoted homologation afforded benzylic ketones in moderate to excellent yields with a variety of aldehydes. Isolation of the tosylhydrazones was not necessary; they could be prepared in ethanol and carried through the sequence without isolation. This methodology allows easy access to a wide variety of substituted aryldiazomethanes that would be difficult, or even impossible, to prepare via conventional methods and circumvents the toxicity and stability problems associated with the isolation and/or handling solutions of aryldiazomethanes.
