- Generalized Chemoselective Transfer Hydrogenation/Hydrodeuteration
-
A generalized, simple and efficient transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds has been developed using HBPin and various proton reagents as hydrogen sources. The substrates, including alkenes, alkynes, aromatic heterocycles, aldehydes, ketones, imines, azo, nitro, epoxy and nitrile compounds, are all applied to this catalytic system. Various groups, which cannot survive under the Pd/C/H2 combination, are tolerated. The activity of the reactants was studied and the trends are as follows: styrene'diphenylmethanimine'benzaldehyde'azobenzene'nitrobenzene'quinoline'acetophenone'benzonitrile. Substrates bearing two or more different unsaturated bonds were also investigated and transfer hydrogenation occurred with excellent chemoselectivity. Nano-palladium catalyst in situ generated from Pd(OAc)2 and HBPin extremely improved the TH efficiency. Furthermore, chemoselective anti-Markovnikov hydrodeuteration of terminal aromatic olefins was achieved using D2O and HBPin via in situ HD generation and discrimination. (Figure presented.).

- Design, synthesis, trypanocidal activity, and studies on human albumin interaction of novel s-alkyl-1,2,4-triazoles
-
Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the hemoflagellated parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida). The only available drug to treat chagasic patients in Brazil, the nitroheterocycle benznidazole, is effective solely during the acute phase of the infection. There is accordingly a need to develop new therapeutic tools for the treatment of Chagas disease. This work reports the synthesis, trypanocidal evaluation and human serum albumin (HSA) interactions of a novel series of 1,2,4-triazoles. The new derivatives were synthesized via microwave irradiation in good yields. Most compounds showed toxic effects against T. cruzi with low toxicity to host cells. Three S-alkylated-triazoles showed the best activity profile against amastigotes, with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 3.95 ± 1.41, 4.15 ± 0.92 and 3.61 ± 0.65 μmol L-1, respectively. The interaction between HSA and 3-[(1E,3E)-4-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)buta-1,3-dien-1-yl]-5-(butylthio)-4-cyclohexyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole was investigated using multiple spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking, revealing that serum albumin is a potential endogenous carrier to this compound in the human bloodstream.

- Modular synthesis and biological investigation of 5-hydroxymethyl dibenzyl butyrolactones and related lignans
-
Dibenzyl butyrolactone lignans are well known for their excellent biological properties, particularly for their notable anti-proliferative activities. Herein we report a novel, efficient, convergent synthesis of dibenzyl butyrolactone lignans utilizing the acyl-Claisen rearrangement to stereoselectively prepare a key intermediate. The reported synthetic route enables the modification of these lignans to give rise to 5-hydroxymethyl derivatives of these lignans. The biological activities of these analogues were assessed, with derivatives showing an excellent cytotoxic profile which resulted in programmed cell death of Jurkat T-leukemia cells with less than 2% of the incubated cells entering a necrotic cell death pathway.

- Total Synthesis and Evaluation of B-Homo Palmatine and Berberine Derivatives as p300 Histone Acetyltransferase Inhibitors
-
Palmatine and berberine, structurally similar isoquinoline alkaloids exhibiting a broad range of biological activities, were recently found to inhibit p300 histone acetyltransferase (HAT), a potential therapeutic target for treating transcriptional activator-driven malignancies and diseases. Here, we report the first total synthesis of B-homo palmatine (11a) and berberine (11b) derivatives, which were synthesized from 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (1a) and benzo[d][1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde (1b) in nine steps in 13.8 and 16.9 % overall yields, respectively. A number of other new B-homo palmatine and berberine derivatives were also prepared. These derivatives display good inhibitory activity against p300 HAT; compound 12a manifests the most potent inhibition with an IC50 value of 0.42 μm. Cell-based assays revealed that 12a exhibits certain inhibitory activity against HCG27, HT1080, and Z-138 cell lines, and no visible activity towards other cancer cell lines tested, reflecting that 12a has low cytotoxicity and acts against some types of cancer cells.

- The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel Danshensu-cysteine analog conjugates as cardiovascular-protective agents
-
A series of novel amide and thioester conjugates between Danshensu and cysteine derivatives have been designed and synthesized based on the strategy of "medicinal chemical hybridization". Pharmacological evaluation indicated that the amide conjugates 3a/4a/17a and thioester conjugates 6a-d exhibited obvious protective effects on H2O2-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Pretreated with these conjugates could increase glutathione (GSH) activity and decrease malondialdehyde (MDA) level. Further study on mechanism of compound 4a revealed that it was related to its mitochondrial-protective effect and regulation of apoptosis-related proteins expression (Bax, p53, PARP, caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bcl-2). These results indicate that these Danshensu-cysteine analog conjugates possess significant cardiovascular-protective effects and merit further investigation.

- Effects of piperine analogues on stimulation of melanocyte proliferation and melanocyte differentiation
-
A wide range of piperine analogues has been synthesised in order to undertake a structure-activity study of their ability to stimulate melanocyte proliferation. Results demonstrate that an aromatic ring containing at least one ether function and a carbonyl group containing side chain is essential for this activity. A number of highly active piperine analogues have been identified, for instance 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-penta-2E,4E-dienoic acid methyl ester (5a), 1-E,E-piperinoyl-isobutylamine (4f) and 1-(3,4- methylenedioxyphenyl)-pentanoic acid cyclohexyl amide (20). A selection of analogues has also been evaluated for their effect on melanocyte morphology and melanogenesis. The piperine analogues altered cell morphology by increasing dendrite formation leading to bi-, tri- and quadripolar cells. These same analogues were found to increase total melanin in cell cultures, although melanin content per cell was not significantly altered from control in the presence of these compounds.

- Asymmetric synthesis of lignans using oxazolidinones as chiral auxiliaries
-
A simple procedure for the asymmetric synthesis of lignans via chiral β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones has been developed. The key benzylbutyrolactone intermediates were efficiently synthesized using a six-step procedure, starting from 3,4-(methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid. The key step in this sequence was a highly diastereoselective alkylation of an N-acyloxazolidinone enolate. The resulting β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones were subsequently transformed into the benzylidene lignans gossypifan and savinin (hibalactone) via aldol condensation-dehydration reactions, and into the dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan 4′-demethylyalein, through alkylation. Oxidation of 4′-demethylyatein with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) afforded cis- and trans-benzylidenebenzylbutyrolactones, whereas oxidation with DDQ/TFA gave 4′-demethyl-deoxyisopodophyllotoxin.
