- Benzannulation via the reaction of ynamides and vinylketenes. Application to the synthesis of highly substituted indoles
-
A two-stage "tandem strategy" for the synthesis of indoles with a high level of substitution on the six-membered ring is described. Benzannulation based on the reaction of cyclobutenones with ynamides proceeds via a cascade of four pericyclic reactions to produce multiply substituted aniline derivatives in which the position ortho to the nitrogen can bear a wide range of functionalized substituents. In the second stage of the tandem strategy, highly substituted indoles are generated via acid-, base-, and palladium-catalyzed cyclization and annulation processes.

- Supporting-Electrolyte-Free Anodic Oxidation of Oxamic Acids into Isocyanates: An Expedient Way to Access Ureas, Carbamates, and Thiocarbamates
-
We report a new electrochemical supporting-electrolyte-free method for synthesizing ureas, carbamates, and thiocarbamates via the oxidation of oxamic acids. This simple, practical, and phosgene-free route includes the generation of an isocyanate intermediate in situ via anodic decarboxylation of an oxamic acid in the presence of an organic base, followed by the one-pot addition of suitable nucleophiles to afford the corresponding ureas, carbamates, and thiocarbamates. This procedure is applicable to different amines, alcohols, and thiols. Furthermore, when single-pass continuous electrochemical flow conditions were used and this reaction was run in a carbon graphite Cgr/Cgr flow cell, urea compounds could be obtained in high yields within a residence time of 6 min, unlocking access to substrates that were inaccessible under batch conditions while being easily scalable.

- Practical one-pot amidation of N -Alloc-, N -Boc-, and N -Cbz protected amines under mild conditions
-
A facile one-pot synthesis of amides from N-Alloc-, N-Boc-, and N-Cbz-protected amines has been described. The reactions involve the use of isocyanate intermediates, which are generated in situ in the presence of 2-chloropyridine and trifluoromethanesulfonyl anhydride, to react with Grignard reagents to produce the corresponding amides. Using this reaction protocol, a variety of N-Alloc-, N-Boc-, and N-Cbz-protected aliphatic amines and aryl amines were efficiently converted to amides with high yields. This method is highly effective for the synthesis of amides and offers a promising approach for facile amidation.

- Development of peptidomimetic hydroxamates as PfA-M1 and PfA-M17 dual inhibitors: Biological evaluation and structural characterization by cocrystallization
-
Plasmodium parasites causing malaria have developed resistance to most of the antimalarials in use, including the artemisinin-based combinations, which are the last line of defense against malaria. This necessitates the discovery of new targets and the development of novel antimalarials. Plasmodium falciparum alanyl aminopeptidase (PfA-M1) and leucyl aminopeptidase (PfA-M17) belong to the M1 and M17 family of metalloproteases respectively and play critical roles in the asexual erythrocytic stage of development. These enzymes have been suggested as potential antimalarial drug targets. Herein we describe the development of peptidomimetic hydroxamates as PfA-M1 and PfA-M17 dual inhibitors. Most of the compounds described in this study display inhibition at sub-micromolar range against the recombinant PfA-M1 and PfA-M17. More importantly, compound 26 not only exhibits potent malarial aminopeptidases inhibitory activities (PfA-M1 Ki = 0.11 ± 0.0002 μmol/L, PfA-M17 Ki = 0.05 ± 0.005 μmol/L), but also possesses remarkable selectivity over the mammalian counterpart (pAPN Ki = 17.24 ± 0.08 μmol/L), which endows 26 with strong inhibition of the malarial parasite growth and negligible cytotoxicity on human cell lines. Crystal structures of PfA-M1 at atomic resolution in complex with four different compounds including compound 26 establish the structural basis for their inhibitory activities. Notably, the terminal ureidobenzyl group of 26 explores the S2′ region where differences between the malarial and mammalian enzymes are apparent, which rationalizes the selectivity of 26. Together, our data provide important insights for the rational and structure-based design of selective and dual inhibitors of malarial aminopeptidases that will likely lead to novel chemotherapeutics for the treatment of malaria.

- Synthesis and in vitro anti-bladder cancer activity evaluation of quinazolinyl-arylurea derivatives
-
Based on the structural modification of molecular-targeted agent sorafenib, a series of quinazolinyl-arylurea derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activities against six human cancer cell lines. Compared with other cell lines tested, T24 was more sensitive to most compounds. Compound 7j exhibited the best profile with lower IC50 value and favorable selectivity. In this study, we focused on 7j-induced death forms of T24 cells and tried to elucidate the reason for its potent proliferative inhibitory activity. Compound 7j treatment could trigger three different cell death forms including apoptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy; which form would occur depended on the concentrations and incubation time of 7j: (1) Lower concentrations within the initial 8 h of 7j treatment led to apoptosis-dependent death. (2) Ferroptosis and autophagy occurred in the case of higher concentrations combining with extended incubation time through effectively regulating the Sxc?/GPx4/ROS and PI3K/Akt/mTOR/ULK1 pathways, respectively. (3) The above death forms were closely associated with intracellular ROS generation and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential induced by 7j. In molecular docking and structure-activity relationship analyses, 7j could bind well to the active site of the corresponding receptor glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4). Compound 7j could be a promising lead for molecular-targeted anti-bladder cancer agents’ discovery.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 2,4-imidazolinedione derivatives as hdac6 isoform-selective inhibitors
-
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has emerged as a promising drug target for various human diseases, including diverse neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Herein, we reported a series of 2,4-imidazolinedione derivatives as novel HDAC6 isoform-selective inhibitors based on structure-based drug design. Most target compounds exhibit good profiles in a preliminary screening concerning HDAC6 inhibitory activities. Moreover, the most active compound 10c increases the acetylation level of α-tubulin with little effect on the acetylation of histone H3. Further biological evaluation suggested that potent compound 10c, which possesses good antiproliferative activity, could induce apoptosis in HL-60 cell by activating caspase 3.

- Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking study of arylcarboxamido piperidine and piperazine-based hydroxamates as potential HDAC8 inhibitors with promising anticancer activity
-
HDAC8 has been established as one of the vital targets as far as the cancer is concerned. Different compounds having potential HDAC inhibitory activity have been approved by USFDA. However, none of these compounds are selective towards specific HDAC isoform. In this current study, some new hydroxamate derivatives with alkylpiperidine and alkylpiperazine linker moieties have been designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated. All these compounds are effective HDAC8 inhibitors comprising more or less similar cytotoxic potential against different cancer cell lines. It is observed that the piperazine scaffold containing compound is more active than the compound with piperidine scaffold for exerting HDAC8 inhibitory activity. Moreover, the 4-quinolyl cap group is better than the biphenyl group which is better than the benzyl group for producing higher HDAC8 inhibition as well as cytotoxicity. These compounds displayed selective HDAC8 inhibition over HDAC3. Moreover, these compounds showed an increased caspase3/7 activity suggesting their anticancer potential through modulation of apoptotic pathways. Molecular docking study with three potent compounds was performed with both HDAC3 and HDAC8 enzymes to understand the selectivity profile of these compounds. Compound containing 4-quinolyl cap group with alkyl piperazinyl urea linker moiety has been emerged out as the lead molecule that may be further modified to design more effective and selective HDAC8 inhibitors in future.

- Iron Catalyzed CO2 Activation with Organosilanes
-
Abstract: Iron nanoparticles generated in situ from [Fe3(CO)12] catalyzed CO2 reduction in the presence of Et3SiH as a reductant and tetrabutylammonium fluoride as a promoter to yield silyl formate (1s) under relatively mild reaction conditions. Additionally, when CO2 hydrosilylation was carried out in water, the product of CO2 reduction was formic acid. Additionally, a similar reaction using [Fe3(CO)12] as a catalytic precursor, PhSiH3 as a reductant, and CO2 in the presence of amines allowed the immediate formation of ureas at room temperature. Here, CO2 acted as a C1 building block for value-added products.

Most compounds exhibited potential histone deacetylases inhibitory activity and antitumor activities. Compound 5h behaved as potent histone deacetylases1 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.182 μM) and showed comparable cytotoxicity with MS-275, which could be considered as a potential candidate compound for further development.

- Design and synthesis of uracil urea derivatives as potent and selective fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitors
-
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is one of the key enzymes involved in the biological degradation of endocannabinoids, especially anandamide. Pharmacological blockage of FAAH restores the levels of endocannabinoids, providing therapeutic benefits in the management of inflammation, depression and multiple sclerosis. In this study, a series of uracil urea derivatives as FAAH inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Structural modifications at the C5 position and side chain of N-hexyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-1(2H)-carboxamide (1a) led to FAAH inhibitors with improved potency and selectivity. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies indicated that C5 electron-withdrawing substituents were preferred for optimal potency but not for selectivity, whereas replacement of the alkyl chain with phenylalkyl moieties or biphenyl groups significantly improved both inhibitory potency and selectivity towards FAAH. Two highly potent picomolar FAAH inhibitors (4c, IC50 = 0.3 ± 0.05 nM; 4d, IC50 = 0.8 ± 0.1 nM) were developed. Compound 4c inhibited FAAH in a rapid, selective, noncompetitive, and irreversible pattern. This study provides several highly potent and selective FAAH inhibitors and an optimized chemical scaffold for the development of FAAH inhibitors. We anticipate that these FAAH inhibitors will enable new possibilities in understanding FAAH functions and development of therapeutics for pain and inflammatory diseases.

- Selective N-methylation of aliphatic amines with CO2 and hydrosilanes using nickel-phosphine catalysts
-
A method using CO2 and PhSiH3 for the methylation of primary and secondary aliphatic amines catalyzed by Ni (0) complexes was developed, selectively producing the monomethylated products in moderate to good yields. For that purpose, two catalysts were used: [(dippe)Ni(μ-H)]2 and the commercially available Ni(COD)2/dcype, both of which were rather efficient in this process. With a slight experimental modification, the reaction allowed the production of monomethylated ureas in good yields by using low amounts of PhSiH3. On the basis of the experimental results, we propose a possible reaction mechanism for the formation of the new C-N bond.

- Hydrolyzable polyureas bearing hindered urea bonds
-
Hydrolyzable polymers are widely used materials that have found numerous applications in biomedical, agricultural, plastic, and packaging industrials. They usually contain ester and other hydrolyzable bonds, such as anhydride, acetal, ketal, or imine, in their backbone structures. Here, we report the first design of hydrolyzable polyureas bearing dynamic hindered urea bonds (HUBs) that can reversibly dissociate to bulky amines and isocyanates, the latter of which can be further hydrolyzed by water, driving the equilibrium to facilitate the degradation of polyureas. Polyureas bearing 1-tert-butyl-1-ethylurea bonds that show high dynamicity (high bond dissociation rate), in the form of either linear polymers or cross-linked gels, can be completely degraded by water under mild conditions. Given the simplicity and low cost for the production of polyureas by simply mixing multifunctional bulky amines and isocyanates, the versatility of the structures, and the tunability of the degradation profiles of HUB-bearing polyureas, these materials are potentially of very broad applications.

- Structure-based drug design and potent anti-cancer activity of tricyclic 5:7:5-fused diimidazo[4,5-d:4′,5′-f][1,3]diazepines
-
Judicial structural modifications of 5:7-fused ring-expanded nucleosides (RENs), based on molecular modeling studies with one of its known targets, human RNA helicase (hDDX3), led to the lead, novel, 5:7-5-fused tricyclic heterocycle (1). The latter exhibited promising broad-spectrum in vitro anti-cancer activity against a number of cancer cell lines screened. This paper describes our systematic, albeit limited, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on this lead compound, which produced a number of analogs with broad-spectrum in vitro anti-cancer activities against lung, breast, prostate, and ovarian cancer cell lines, in particular compounds 15i, 15j, 15m and 15n which showed IC 50 values in submicromolar to micromolar range, and are worthy of further explorations. The SAR data also enabled us to propose a tentative SAR model for future SAR efforts for ultimate realization of optimally active and minimally toxic anti-cancer compounds based on the diimidazo[4,5-d:4′, 5′-f][1,3]diazepine structural skeleton of the lead compound 1.

The protocol has been optimized under microwave irradiation and the scale-up experiment has been conducted under conventional conditions in a Parr reactor. The final compounds were isolated after simple filtration in almost quantitative overall yields which makes this procedure facile and rapid to execute.

Besides, it is able to be easily synthesized with a high total yield, while the reported synthetic methods of bestatin are much more complex.

The N-2′ position of the natural product emetine has been derivatized to thiourea, urea, sulfonamide, dithiocarbamate, carbamate, and pH responsive hydrolyzable amide analogues. In vitro studies of these analogues in PC3 and LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines showed that the analogues are generally less cytotoxic (average IC50 ranging from 0.079 to 10 μM) than emetine (IC50 ranging from 0.0237 to 0.0329 μM). The pH sensitive sodium dithiocarbamate salt 13 and the amide analogues 21, 22, 26 (obtained from maleic and citraconic anhydrides) showed the most promise as acid-activatable prodrugs under mildly acidic conditions found in the cancer microenvironment. These prodrugs released 12-83% of emetine at pH 6.5 and 41-95% emetine at pH 5.5. Compounds 13 and 26 were further shown to exhibit increased cytotoxicity in PC3 cell culture medium that was already below pH 7.0 at the time of treatment.

A new, mild procedure for the Hofmann rearrangement of aromatic and aliphatic carboxamides using (tosylimino)phenyl-λ3-iodane, PhINTs, as a reagent is reported. Because of the mild reaction conditions, this method is particularly useful for the Hofmann rearrangement of substituted benzamides, which usually afford complex reaction mixtures with other hypervalent iodine oxidants. The mild reaction conditions and high selectivity in the reaction of carboxamides with PhINTs allow the isolation of the initially formed labile isocyanates or their subsequent conversion to stable carbamates by treatment with alcohols.

- Development of synthetic aminopeptidase N/CD13 inhibitors to overcome cancer metastasis and angiogenesis

Cancer metastasis is a major barrier to its treatment and an important cause of patient death. Antimetastatic agents hold promise for patients with advanced metastatic tumors. Aminopeptidase N/CD13 (APN) is being pursued by many as an important target against cancer metastasis and angiogenesis, but there are few reports on the in vivo evaluation of synthetic APN inhibitors. Herein, a series of compounds targeting APN were synthesized and evaluated for their antimetastasis and antiangiogenesis potency both in vitro and in vivo. Excitingly, compounds 4m, 4t, and 4cc, with the most potent APN inhibitory activities, displayed significant antimetastasis and antiangiogenesis effects in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that those synthetic APN inhibitors have the potential to overcome cancer metastasis and angiogenesis.

- Discovering potent small molecule inhibitors of cyclophilin A using de novo drug design approach
-
This work describes an integrated approach of de novo drug design, chemical synthesis, and bioassay for quick identification of a series of novel small molecule cyclophilin A (CypA) inhibitors (1-3). The activities of the two most potent CypA inhibitors (3h and 3i) are 2.59 and 1.52 nM, respectively, which are about 16 and 27 times more potent than that of cyclosporin A. This study clearly demonstrates the power of our de novo drug design strategy and the related program LigBuilder 2.0 in drug discovery.

- One-pot radiosynthesis of [13N]urea and [13N] carbamate using no-carrier-added [13N]NH3
-
The aim of this study was to develop a practical labeling method of [ 13N]ligands using no-carrier-added [13N]NH3 with high specific activity. [13N]urea analogues [13N]1a and [13N]2a or [13N]carbamate [13N]3a were synthesized by reacting isocyanate 5a, carbamoyl chloride 6a or chloroformate 7a with [13N]NH3. The precursors 5a-7a were prepared by treating amines 8a and 9a and alcohol 10a with triphosgene in situ. These reaction mixtures were not purified and were used directly for [ 13N]ammonolysis, respectively. Using the one-pot method, we synthesized [13N]carbamazepine ([13N]4), a putative positron emission tomography ligand for brain imaging. Copyright

- One-pot, three-step preparation of alkyl and aryl alkylcarbamates from S-methyl N-alkylthiocarbamates
-
A general procedure for the synthesis of alkyl and aryl alkylcarbamates starting from the corresponding 5-methyl N-alkylthiocarbamates is described. This procedure consists of three steps that are carried out in a one-pot fashion, without isolating the intermediate N-alkylcarbamoyl chlorides or alkyl isocyanates. All the target products were obtained in high yields (16 examples, average yield 91%). To be noted is the recovery of a co-product of industrial interest, dimethyl disulfide, in a half mole amount for each mole of thiocarbamate, with complete exploitation of the reagent. The alkyl isocyanates, if required, can also be isolated in high yields. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- Novel and efficient synthesis of 4-substituted-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5- diones from anilines
-
A simple and efficient three-step synthetic procedure for the preparation of 4-substituted phenyl derivatives of 1,2,4-triazolidindiones (urazoles), starting from anilines, has been developed. In this method, aniline derivatives were reacted with 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate to provide corresponding carbamate derivatives. In the second step, semicarbazide derivatives were prepared from these carbamates by reaction with ethyl carbazate. The cyclization reaction of corresponding semicarbazides furnished 1,2,4-triazolidindiones in high yields. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- Efficient synthesis of phenanthridinone derivatives via a palladium-catalyzed coupling process
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A palladium-mediated domino reaction was developed to conveniently synthesize phenanthridinone derivatives. Phosphine ligand 1 strongly promotes the domino process, which includes aryl-aryl coupling and C-N bond formations concomitant with a deamidation reaction. The versatility and applicability to a broad range of substrates make this reaction useful for the development of bioactive derivatives.

- Comparison of base-promoted and self-catalyzed conditions in the synthesis of isocyanates from amines using triphosgene
-
Comparison of base-promoted and self-catalyzed conditions for the synthesis of isocyanates from amines and triphosgene shows no advantage in using an amine base in the majority of cases. The workup and isolation of the product is simplified under base-free conditions. Yields of between 50 and 90% after distillation were common. Only acid-sensitive substrates need a base catalyst.

- Organosilicon synthesis of isocyanates: II. Synthesis of aliphatic, carbocyclic, and fatty-aromatic isocyanates
-
Silylation of a series of aliphatic, carbocyclic, and fatty-aromatic amines gave the corresponding silyl derivatives whose yield depended on the electronic and steric structure of the substrate and the nature of the silylating agent. The yield of isocyanates obtained by phosgenation of the silyl derivatives under mild conditions decreased in going from aliphatic amines to benzylamines and rose as the length of the alkyl chain in fatty-aromatic amines extended. The most convenient procedure for the synthesis of low-boiling alkyl isocyanates was found to be based on the transformation of amines or ammonium salts into silyl or silyl silyl-carabamates, followed by pyrolysis of the latter in the presence of trichloro(phenyl)silane.

- Efficient synthesis of 1,2,4-dithiazolidine-3,5-diones [dithiasuccinoyl- amines] from bis(chlorocarbonyl)disulfane plus bis(trimethylsilyl)amines
-
The 1,2,4-dithiazolidine-3,5-dione heterocycle, also referred to as a dithiasuccinoyl (Dts)-amine, serves as a readily removable amino protecting group for building blocks used in syntheses of peptides, glycopeptides, and PNA; it is also useful as a masked isocyanate and (inversely) as a sulfurization reagent for trivalent phosphorus. Bis(chlorocarbonyl)disulfane, the two-sulfur analogue of succinyl chloride, has been envisioned as a reagent for facile single-step elaboration of the heterocycle. However, reactions of bis(chlorocarbonyl)disulfane directly with primary amines fail to yield Dts-amines for reasons that are discussed. Inspired by several precedents from the organosilicon chemistry literature that a trimethylsilyl group may serve as a "large proton," a successful, high-yield preparation of Dts-amines through reactions of bis(chlorocarbonyl)disulfane with bis(trimethylsilyl)amines has been developed. Studies aimed at elucidating mechanistic reasons for these observations are also presented. Copyright

Alkyl isocyanates are prepared in good to excellent yields by treatment of alcohols, thiols and trimethylsilyl ethers with triphenylphosphine/2,3-dichloro- 5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone/ Bu4NOCN in acetonitrile. This method is highly selective for conversion of primary alcohols to alkyl isocyanates in the presence of secondary and tertiary alcohols, thiols and trimethysilyl ethers.

- Efficient synthesis of 2,9-disubstituted 8-hydroxyadenine derivatives
-
An efficient and general method for the synthesis of 2,9-disubstituted 8-hydroxyadenines, which are expected to have various biological activities, was realized. 5-amino-4-cyano-2-hydroxyimidazoles(1) were prepared from aminomalononitrile and isocyanates as key intermediates. The condensation of 1a with amidines, imidates, guanidine, urea and thioureas afforded 8-hydroxyadenines (2-6) possessing various substituents at the 2-position. Furthermore, selective alkylation of 2-amino- and 2-hydroxyadenines (4 and 6) successively proceeded to give the corresponding 2-alkylamino- and 2-alkoxyadenines (5 and 7), respectively. 2-Alkythioadenines (15) were prepared by an analogous reaction of 1a with benzoyl isothiocyanate and subsequent S-alkylation. The imidazoles 1 are most useful intermediated for the synthesis of 8-hydroxyadenine derivatives.
