- Efficient Synthesis and Bioevaluation of Novel Dual Tubulin/Histone Deacetylase 3 Inhibitors as Potential Anticancer Agents
-
Novel dual HDAC3/tubulin inhibitors were designed and efficiently synthesized by combining the pharmacophores of SMART (tubulin inhibitor) and MS-275 (HDAC inhibitor), among which compound 15cwas found to be the most potent and balanced HDAC3/tubulin dual inhibitor with high HDAC3 activity (IC50= 30 nM) and selectivity (SI > 1000) as well as excellent antiproliferative potency against various cancer cell lines, including an HDAC-resistant gastric cancer cell line (YCC3/7) with IC50values in the range of 30-144 nM. Compound 15cinhibited B16-F10 cancer cell migration and colony formation. In addition, 15cdemonstrated significantin vivoantitumor efficacy in a B16-F10 melanoma tumor model with a better TGI (70.00%, 10 mg/kg) than that of the combination of MS-275 and SMART. Finally, 15cpresented a safe cardiotoxicity profile and did not cause nephro-/hepatotoxicity. Collectively, this work shows that compound 15crepresents a novel tubulin/HDAC3 dual-targeting agent deserving further investigation as a potential anticancer agent.

- Orthogonal Stability and Reactivity of Aryl Germanes Enables Rapid and Selective (Multi)Halogenations
-
While halogenation is of key importance in synthesis and radioimaging, the currently available repertoire is largely designed to introduce a single halogen per molecule. This report makes the selective introduction of several different halogens accessible. Showcased here is the privileged stability of nontoxic aryl germanes under harsh fluorination conditions (that allow selective fluorination in their presence), while displaying superior reactivity and functional-group tolerance in electrophilic iodinations and brominations, outcompeting silanes or boronic esters under rapid and additive-free conditions. Mechanistic experiments and computational studies suggest a concerted electrophilic aromatic substitution as the underlying mechanism.

- One-pot synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,3-butadiyne derivatives and their application in the synthesis of unsymmetrical 2,5-diarylthiophenes
-
A one-pot protocol was developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,3-butadiynes. The procedure is based on two sequential reactions: deprotection of R–C≡C–C≡C– C(Me)2OH derivatives in a retro-Favorskii reaction to furnish a terminal 1,3-butadiyne compound, which reacted with aryl iod-ides in a Sonogashira-type cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd(PPh3)4 and CuI, using TBAOH as activator and toluene as solvent under reflux for 10 min. We also studied in situ thiocycli-zation of 1,3-butadiynes, leading to unsymmetrical 2,5-diaryl-thiophenes. The principal features of this method are operational simplicity, good substrate scope, very fast reaction, and high yields.

- Mechanism of Cu-catalyzed aryl boronic acid halodeboronation using electrophilic halogen: Development of a base-catalyzed iododeboronation for radiolabeling applications
-
An investigation into the mechanism of Cu-catalyzed aryl boronic acid halodeboronation using electrophilic halogen reagents is reported. Evidence is provided to show that this takes place via a boronate-driven ipso-substitution pathway and that Cu is not required for these processes to operate: General Lewis base catalysis is operational. This in turn allows the rational development of a general, simple, and effective base-catalyzed halodeboronation that is amenable to the preparation of 125I-labeled products for SPECT applications.

An operationally simple, one-pot, two-step tandem procedure that allows the incorporation of radioactive iodine into aryl amines via stable diazonium salts is described. The mild conditions are tolerant of various functional groups and substitution patterns, allowing late-stage, rapid access to a wide range of 125I-labelled aryl compounds and SPECT radiotracers.

- Late stage iodination of biologically active agents using a one-pot process from aryl amines
-
A simple and effective one-pot tandem procedure that generates aryl iodides from readily available aryl amines via stable diazonium salts has been developed. The operationally simple procedure and mild conditions allow late-stage iodination of a wide range of aryl compounds bearing various functional groups and substitution patterns. A novel synthetic strategy involving the preparation of nitroaryl compounds followed by a chemoselective tin(ii) dichloride reduction and the use of the one-pot diazotisation-iodination transformation was also developed. The general applicability of this approach was demonstrated with the preparation of a number of medicinally important compounds including CNS1261, a SPECT imaging agent of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and IBOX, a compound used to detect amyloid plaques in the brain.

- Rapid and efficient copper-catalyzed finkelstein reaction of (hetero)aromatics under continuous-flow conditions
-
A general, rapid, and efficient method for the copper-catalyzed Finkelstein reaction of (hetero)aromatics has been developed using continuous flow to generate a variety of aryl iodides. The described method can tolerate a broad spectrum of functional groups, including N-H and O-H groups. Additionally, in lieu of isolation, the aryl iodide solutions were used in two distinct multistep continuous-flow processes (amidation and Mg-I exchange/nucleophilic addition) to demonstrate the flexibility of this method.

- Cu-catalyzed fluorination of diaryliodonium salts with KF

A mild Cu-catalyzed nucleophilic fluorination of unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salts with KF is described. This protocol preferentially fluorinates the smaller aromatic ligand on iodine(III). The reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope and proceeds with high chemoselectivity and functional group tolerance. DFT calculations implicate a CuI/CuIII catalytic cycle.

- Halodeboronation of organotrifluoroborates using tetrabutylammonium tribromide or cesium triiodide
-
Halodeboronation of organotrifluoroborates using commercially available tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) or cesium triiodide in aqueous medium is reported. The mild, transition metal-free method has proven to be tolerant of a wide range of functional groups. High regio- and chemoselectivity are observed. Two synthetic routes to (Z)-dibromoalkenes from alkynes, through stereodefined (Z)-2-bromoalkenyltrifluoroborates and (Z)-1,2-bis(boryl) alkenyltrifluoroborates, have been developed using the TBATB mediated bromodeboronation as the key step.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of the first podophyllotoxin analogues as potential vascular-disrupting agents
-
We designed and synthesized two novel series of azapodo-phyllotoxin analogues as potential antivascular agents. A linker was inserted between the trimethoxyphenyl ring E and the tetracyclic ABCD moiety of the 4-aza-1,2-didehydropodophyllotoxins. In the first series, the linker enables free rotation between the two moieties; in the second series, conformational restriction of the E nucleus was considered. We have identified several new compounds with inhibitory activity toward tubulin polymerization similar to that of CA-4 and colchicine, while displaying low cytotoxic activity against normal and/or cancer cells. An aminologue and a methylenic analogue were shown to disrupt endothelial cell cords on Matrigel at subtoxic concentrations, and an original assay of drug washout allowed us to demonstrate the rapid reversibility of this effect. These two new analogues are promising leads for the development of vascular-disrupting agents in the podophyllotoxin series.

- 4,5-Diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates as combretastatin A-4/lamellarin T hybrids: Synthesis and evaluation as anti-mitotic and cytotoxic agents
-
The 4,5-diarylated-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates 3-8 have each been prepared as hybrids of the potent anti-mitotic agent combretastatin A-4 (1) and the similarly active marine alkaloid lamellarin T (2). The key steps involved selective lithium-for-halogen exchange at C5 within the N-PMB protected 4,5-dibromopyrrole 22 and Negishi cross-coupling of the derived zincated species with the relevant aryl iodide. The ensuing 5-aryl-4-bromopyrrole then engaged in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with the appropriate arylboronic acid to give the 4,5-diarylated pyrroles 4, 6 and 8. TFA-promoted removal of the N-PMB group within these last compounds then gave the N-unsubstituted congeners 3, 5 and 7. Compounds 3-8 have all been evaluated for their anti-mitotic and cytotoxic properties and two of them, 3 and 5, display useful activities although they are less potent than combretastatin A-4.
