- Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Celastrol Derivatives with Improved Cytotoxic Selectivity and Antitumor Activities
-
Cdc37 associates kinase clients to Hsp90 and promotes the development of cancers. Celastrol, a natural friedelane triterpenoid, can disrupt the Hsp90-Cdc37 interaction to provide antitumor effects. In this study, 31 new celastrol derivatives, 2a - 2d , 3a - 3g , and 4a - 4t , were designed and synthesized, and their Hsp90-Cdc37 disruption activities and antiproliferative activities against cancer cells were evaluated. Among these compounds, 4f , with the highest tumor cell selectivity (15.4-fold), potent Hsp90-Cdc37 disruption activity (IC50= 1.9 μM), and antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50= 0.2 μM), was selected as the lead compound. Further studies demonstrated 4f has strong antitumor activities both in vitro and in vivo through disrupting the Hsp90-Cdc37 interaction and inhibiting angiogenesis. In addition, 4f exhibited less toxicity than celastrol and showed a good pharmacokinetics profile in vivo. These findings suggest that 4f may be a promising candidate for development of new cancer therapies.

- Design, synthesis and anti-inflammatory effects of novel 9-O-substituted-berberine derivatives
-
Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid in many medicinal herbs, has been found to possess broad pharmacological activities. A series of novel C-9-O-substituted-berberine derivatives have been synthesized and their anti-inflammatory effects evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Compared to berberine, the new synthetic berberine derivatives 3i and 5e exhibit significantly improved inhibitory activities against the release of NO, TNF-α and IL-6. Furthermore, derivatives 3i and 5e were found to inhibit more effectively the migration of neutrophils and primitive macrophage in transgenic zebrafish larvae with injury-provoked inflammation. Pre-treatment with derivatives 3i or 5e could lead to a concentration-dependent decrease in nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 and NF-κB inhibitor α (IκBα) phosphorylation and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells, which suggested that the anti-inflammatory activities of berberine derivatives 3i and 5e are related to their suppression of the NF-κB signal pathway.

- A novel and efficient strategy for the synthesis of various carbamates using carbamoyl chlorides under solvent-free and grinding conditions using microwave irradiation
-
We present an efficient, fast and simple strategy of generating the intermediate carbamoyl chlorides from secondary amines using stoichiometric amounts of bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate (BTC) in solution and solvent-free conditions with excellent yields. The results obtained showed the yield increasing on whether a base was used. Finally, an efficient and rapid synthesis of variety carbamate derivatives was developed by the reaction with a high variety of different alcohols, phenols, diols and this intermediate at room temperature with grinding and in solvent-free conditions under microwave irradiation. The presence of various safe bases is shown to be effective in reducing the reaction times, increasing the yields and easing purification. The present method does not involve any hazardous phosgene.

- Development of an improved method for conversion of thiuram disulfides into N,N-dialkylcarbamoyl halides and derivatives
-
A convenient procedure for preparing N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl halides is reported. It consists of two steps: (1) reaction of carbon disulfide and a secondary amine in the presence of a polar organic solvent and oxygen to produce the corresponding tetraalkyl thiuram disulfides and (2) reaction of tetraalkyl thiuram disulfide with a halide in the presence of an aprotic organic solvent to produce the corresponding N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl halide.

- An improved one-pot cost-effective synthesis of N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl halides and derivatives
-
A convenient one-pot procedure is reported for preparing N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl chlorides by using chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride as a carbonylating agent. It comprises the reaction of secondary amines with chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride in the presence of an aprotic organic solvent to produce the corresponding N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl halides. Insertion of the carbonyl group without using phosgene is the novelty of this method.

- Solvent-assisted thiocarboxylation of amines and alcohols with carbon monoxide and sulfur under mild conditions
-
DMSO or DMF as a solvent strongly accelerated the thiocarboxylation of amines and alcohols with carbon monoxide and sulfur. Under mild conditions (1 atm, 20°C), this thiocarboxylation of amines assisted by DMSO with carbon monoxide and sulfur has been developed into a practical and convenient synthetic method for S-alkyl thiocarbamates in good to excellent yields, including EPTC, thiobencarb, orbencarb, and molinate (herbicides). DMF also showed the similar solvent effect. NMP slightly decreased the effect for the thiocarboxylation of amines, and the yield of S-alkyl thiocarbamate was lowered in DMAc. Surprisingly, no formation of S-alkyl thiocarbamate was observed at the use of the other solvents, such as THF, hexane, toluene, AcOEt, MeCN, MeOH, and H 2O. The present solvent-assisted thiocarboxylation with carbon monoxide and sulfur could be also applied to a new synthesis of S-alkyl O-alkyl carbonothioates from alcohols under mild conditions (1 atm, 20°C) in DMF using DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene).

- Facile S-alkyl thiocarbamate synthesis by a novel DBU-assisted carbonylation of amines with carbon monoxide and sulfur
-
A novel DBU-assisted carbonylation of amines with carbon monoxide and sulfur has been developed for the synthesis of S-alkyl thiocarbamates. In the presence of DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene), S-alkyl thiocarbamates are synthesized in excellent yields from amines, carbon monoxide, sulfur, and alkyl halides under mild conditions (1 atm, 20°C). In the absence of DBU, however, no formation of S-alkyl thiocarbamate is observed. The present DBU-assisted carbonylation can also be applied to new synthetic methods for benthiocarb and orthobencarb (herbicides) and carbamoyl chlorides.

- Importance of the lipophilic group in carbamates having histamine H3- receptor antagonist activity
-
In order to evaluate changes in the lipophilic part of designed carbamates concerning their potential histamine H3-receptor antagonist properties a new series of O-[3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propanol]carbamates was derived containing N-mono- or dialkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, or double- branched alkyl substituents. The compounds were tested in vitro for their H3-receptor antagonist activity on synaptosomes of rat cerebral cortex and shared moderate to high antagonist activity in vitro. In this series 3-(1H- imidazol-4-yl)propyl N-(4-pentenyl)carbamate (4) was the most potent compound in vitro (K(i) = 6.3 nM). H3-receptor antagonist activity in the central nervous system (CNS) was detected for most compounds in the in vivo H3- receptor assay based upon measurement of brain N(τ)-methylhistamine levels after p.o. administration to mice. The most effective carbamate in vivo, 3- (1H-imidazol-4-yl)propyl N-(allyl)carbamate (3), showed higher CNS potency (ED50 = 0.48 mg/kg p.o.) than the reference antagonist thioperamide. For some novel carbamates their histamine H1- and H2-receptor activities were determined on isolated organs of guinea-pig thereby demonstrating their high H3-receptor selectivity.
