- One-pot three-component synthesis of novel pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines as potent antileukemic agents
-
In the current study, we report on the development of novel series of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives (8a-u, 11a-n, and 14a,b) as potential anticancer agents. The prepared pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines have been screened for their antitumor activity in vitro at NCI-DTP. Thereafter, compound 8a was qualified by NCI for full panel five-dose assay to assess its GI50, TGI and LC50 values. Compound 8a showed broad-spectrum anti-proliferative activities over the whole NCI panel, with outstanding growth inhibition full panel GI50 (MG-MID) value equals 2.16 μM and subpanel GI50 (MG-MID) range: 1.92–2.86 μM. Furthermore, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 8a, 8e-h, 8o, 8u, 11a, 11e, 11h, 11l and 14a-b were assayed for their antiproliferative effect against a panel of leukemia cell lines (K562, MV4-11, CEM, RS4;11, ML-2 and KOPN-8) where they possessed moderate to excellent anti-leukemic activity. Moreover, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 8o, 8u, 14a and 14b were further explored for their effect on cell cycle on RS4;11 cells, in which they dose-dependently increased populations of cells in G2/M phases. Finally we analyzed the changes of selected proteins (HOXA9, MEIS1, PARP, BcL-2 and McL-1) related to cell death and viability in RS4;11 cells via Western blotting. Collectively, the obtained results suggested pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 8o, 8u, 14a and 14b as promising lead molecules for further optimization to develop more potent and efficient anticancer candidates.

- Asymmetric Hydroacylation Involving Alkene Isomerization for the Construction of C3-Chirogenic Center
-
A new transformation pattern for enantioselective intramolecular hydroacylation has been developed involving an alkene isomerization strategy. Proceeding through a five-membered rhodacycle intermediate, 3-enals were converted to C3- or C3,C5-chirogenic cyclopentanones with satisfactory yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities. A catalytic cycle has been theoretically calculated and the origin of the stereoselection is rationally explained.

-
A microwave-mediated synthesis of 1H-pyrazole-5-amines utilizing 1 M HCl at 150 °C was developed in order to provide products in a matter of minutes with minimal purification. Most reactions are complete in only 10 min and can be isolated via a simple filtration without the need for further purification by column chromatography or recrystallization. This method tolerates a range of functional groups and can be performed on milligram to gram scales.

- Structure-based discovery and synthesis of potential transketolase inhibitors
-
Transketolase (TKL) plays a key role in plant photosynthesis and has been predicted to be a potent herbicide target. Homology modeling and molecular dynamics simulation were used to construct a target protein model. A target-based virtual screening was developed to discover novel potential transketolase inhibitors. Based on the receptor transketolase 1 and a target-based virtual screening combined with structural similarity, six new compounds were selected from the ZINC database. Among the structural leads, a new compound ZINC12007063 was identified as a novel inhibitor of weeds. Two novel series of carboxylic amide derivatives were synthesized, and their structures were rationally identified by NMR and HRMS. Biological evaluation of the herbicidal and antifungal activities indicated that the compounds 4u and 8h were the most potent herbicidal agents, and they also showed potent fungicidal activity with a relatively broad-spectrum. ZINC12007063 was identified as a lead compound of potential transketolase inhibitors, 4u and 8h which has the herbicidal and antifungal activities were synthesized based on ZINC12007063. This study lays a foundation for the discovery of new pesticides.

-
A series of novel N-(3-furan-2-yl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) amides derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by1H NMR,13C NMR and HRMS. All title compounds were evaluated for their herbicidal and antifungal activities. Preliminary bioassay results indicated that the title compounds showed good to moderate herbicidal activity at 1000?mg/L. Compound 6q presented the best activity against Digitaria sanguinalis (L) Scop., Amaranthus retroflexus L. and Arabidopsis thaliana with an inhibition degree of five. Compound 6d also showed an inhibition degree of five against D. sanguinalis. In addition, at 50?mg/L, most compounds exhibited good in vitro antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, with compound 6c showing over 90% antifungal activity against S. sclerotiorum and Pellicularia sasakii.

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of 3-oxopropanenitriles from variously substituted heterocyclic compounds via direct electrophilic cyanoacetylation is described. A series of heterocyclic 3-oxopropanenitriles (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i, 2j, 2k) have been synthesized using mixed anhydride (acetic or trifluoroacetic anhydride:cyanoacetic acid) in the presence of Mg(ClO4)2·2H2O as catalyst. This method can be extended also for the cyanoacetylation of electron poor aromatic compounds.

- Divergent Reactivity in the Reaction of β-Oxodithioesters and Hydroxylamine: Access to β-Ketonitriles and Isoxazoles

Starting from β-oxodithioesters and hydroxylamine, two completely different transformations afford either β-ketonitriles or isoxazoles with high chemoselectivity depending on the reaction conditions. The reaction of β-oxodithioesters with hydroxylamine in EtOH at room temperature in daylight gave β-ketonitriles in high yields. On the other hand, 3-methylthio-isoxazoles were efficiently obtained as the final products by heating the mixture of β-oxodithioesters and hydroxylamine in HOAc at 90 °C.

- Specific 1,2-Hydride Shift in the Boron Trifluoride Catalyzed Reactions of Aromatic Aldehydes with Diazoacetonitrile: Simple Synthesis of β-Ketonitriles
-
A series of β-ketonitriles was synthesized within 30 min under mild conditions through the BF3 ·OEt2-catalyzed addition reactions of diazoacetonitrile to aromatic aldehydes and subsequent 1,2-hydride shift. This method is advantageous in that it is operationally simple, mild and metal-free conditions are used, the substrate scope is wide, and the products are obtained in moderate to high yields (up to 81 %). Additionally, γ,δ-unsaturated β-ketonitriles are also accessible by this method by using cinnamaldehydes.

A series of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, both cyclic and acyclic, were found to be suitable substrates for this transformation. Subjecting 1,1,1-trifluoro-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to a modified procedure resulted in the formation of α-cyano ketones after trifluoroacetyl group fragmentation.

The radical cyclizations of conjugated amides gave 2,3-dihydrofurans in better yields than that of conjugated esters. Moreover, the reactions of thienyl substituted amides and esters with 3-oxopropanenitriles afforded 2,3-dihydrofurans more efficiently than phenyl substituted ones. ARKAT-USA, Inc.

- Pyrolytic methods in organic synthesis: Novel routes for the synthesis of 3-oxoalkanenitriles, 2-acyl anilines, and 2-aroyl anilines
-
3-Oxoalkanenitriles 1a-d were obtained in high yield by treating enaminones 6a-d with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and stirring the resulting oxime with diethyl oxalate. The formed 3-oxoalkanenitriles 1a,b readily undergo self-condensation to yield 2-aroylanilines 3a,b on heating in pyridine for eight hours or by irradiation in microwave for 1.5 minutes. In contrast, 1c-e were recovered unreacted under similar conditions. Pyrolysis of 3-aminocrotononitrile 14 produced a mixture of the aminopyridine 16, 19, and aminobenzene 22. Heating 14 in aqueous media has resulted in formation of the pyridine 20, while heating the same compound in acetic acid has afforded pyridone 20 and acetyl pyridine 24.

Treatment of some 1,3-diaryl-2-chloropropane-1,3-diones, acyclic chloro-substituted enaminones and β-oxo esters with nucleophiles was shown to proceed easily with the formation, at least in the first stage, of formal nucleophilic substitution products. Treatment of enaminones and β-oxo esters with azide and cyanide ions proceeds with the preservation of the skeleton, whereas chloro-substituted diaroylmethanes undergo retro-Claisen-Claisen condensation reactions in the course of the reaction with cyanide. Dibenzoylchloromethane reacts with azide and cyanide ions with fragmentation of the molecule and subsequent reassembly, resulting in benzoylated benzaldehyde cyanohydrin and a 1,3-oxathiol derivative, respectively.
