- Aryl Sulfonium Salts for Site-Selective Late-Stage Trifluoromethylation
-
Incorporation of the CF3 group into arenes has found increasing importance in drug discovery. Herein, we report the first photoredox-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl thianthrenium salts with a copper-based trifluoromethyl reagent, which enables a site-selective late-stage trifluoromethylation of arenes. The reaction proceeds with broad functional group tolerance, even for complex small molecules on gram scale. The method was further extended to produce pentafluoroethylated derivatives.

- Halogenation through Deoxygenation of Alcohols and Aldehydes
-
An efficient reagent system, Ph3P/XCH2CH2X (X = Cl, Br, or I), was very effective for the deoxygenative halogenation (including fluorination) of alcohols (including tertiary alcohols) and aldehydes. The easily available 1,2-dihaloethanes were used as key reagents and halogen sources. The use of (EtO)3P instead of Ph3P could also realize deoxy-halogenation, allowing for a convenient purification process, as the byproduct (EtO)3Pa?O could be removed by aqueous washing. The mild reaction conditions, wide substrate scope, and wide availability of 1,2-dihaloethanes make this protocol attractive for the synthesis of halogenated compounds.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of curcumin inspired indole analogues as tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
In our endeavour towards the development of potent cytotoxic agents, a series of some new curcumin inspired indole analogues, in which indole and phenyl moieties are linked on either sides of 1,5-diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one system have been synthesized and characterized by spectral data. All the newly synthesized analogues were tested for their cytotoxic potential against a panel of eight cancer cell lines namely, lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231, BT549 and 4T1), prostate (PC-3, DU145), gastric (HGC-27) and cervical (HeLa). Notably, among all the compounds tested, compounds 11c, 11d and 11f showed potent growth inhibition on PC-3 and BT549 with IC50values in the range of 3.12–6.34?μM and 4.69–8.72?μM respectively. The most active compound (11c) was also tested on RWPE-1 (normal prostate) cells and was found to be safe compared to the PC-3?cells. In tubulin polymerization assay, compounds 11c and 11f effectively inhibited microtubule assembly with IC50values of 10.21?±?0.10 and 8.83?±?0.06?μM respectively. The results from molecular modelling studies revealed that these compounds bind at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin. Moreover, DAPI and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining studies indicated that compounds 11c and 11f can induce apoptosis in PC-3?cells. Further flow-cytometry analysis revealed that compound 11c arrests PC-3?cells in G2/M phase of the cell cycle while compound 11f treatment resulted in moderate increase in the G2/M population. Additionally, the treatment by these compounds led to the impairment of mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) in PC-3?cells.

- Discovery and Optimization of Chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrol-9(2H)-ones as Novel Selective and Orally Bioavailable Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
-
Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors have been used as clinical agents to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Herein, we detail the discovery of a novel series of chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrol-9(2H)-one derivatives as selective and orally bioavailable inhibitors against phosphodiesterase 5. Medicinal chemistry optimization resulted in 2, which exhibits a desirable inhibitory potency of 5.6 nM with remarkable selectivity as well as excellent pharmacokinetic properties and an oral bioavailability of 63.4%. In addition, oral administration of 2 at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg caused better pharmacodynamics effects on both mPAP (mean pulmonary artery pressure) and RVHI (index of right ventricle hypertrophy) than sildenafil citrate at a dose of 10.0 mg/kg. These activities along with its reasonable druglike properties, such as human liver microsomal stability, cytochrome inhibition, hERG inhibition, and pharmacological safety, indicate that 2 is a potential candidate for the treatment of PAH.

- Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 1,2,3-triazole tethered Pyrazoline and Chalcone Derivatives
-
A series of pyrazoline derivatives and corresponding chalcone intermediates with substituents same as combretastatin-A4(CA-4) conjugated with triazole nucleus has been synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer potential. Sulphorhodamine B(SRB) assay indicated compound 12c to be the most active compound from the series with GI50 value of 6.7 μm against the human liver carcinoma cell line HepG2. Interestingly, the intermediate 11c exhibited more promising cytotoxicity demonstrating GI50 value of 1.3 μm against the prostate cancer cell line DU145. Compounds 11c and 12c caused accumulation of cells in G2/M phase and inhibited tubulin polymerization. Furthermore, these compounds reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential and activate caspases 3 and 9, thereby indicating their ability to trigger apoptosis.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrazolo-triazole hybrids as cytotoxic and apoptosis inducing agents
-
A series of pyrazolo-triazole hybrids were designed and synthesized by combining the 1,3-diphenyl pyrazole and triazole scaffolds to obtain (1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methanones. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their anticancer activity against four tumor cell lines, viz. HT-29 (colon), PC-3 (prostate), A549 (lung), and U87MG (glioblastoma) cells. Most of the tested compounds showed moderate to potent cell growth inhibition on different cancer cells, in particular, the compounds 17, 23, and 29 exhibited promising cytotoxicity against these cell lines with the IC50 values in the range of 0.86-3.72 μM. In addition, the potential mechanism of cell growth inhibition and apoptotic induction by these compounds was investigated in U87MG cancer cells using cell-based assays, including wound healing assay, flow cytometry, Hoechst staining, acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, Annexin V-FITC/propidium Iodide dual staining, Rhodamine 123 staining, and carboxy-DCFDA staining. The results indicate that the compounds induce apoptosis in U87MG cells via mitochondrial pathway through up-regulation of pro-apoptotic (Bax) and down-regulation of anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2) genes. Based on these studies, three compounds 17, 23 and 29 have been identified as promising new molecules that have the potential to be developed as leads.

- Bulk photovoltaic effect in an organic polar crystal
-
Organic polar crystals from the donor-acceptor substituted 1,4-diphenybutadiene 1 can generate a short-circuit photocurrent and a photovoltage upon illumination with near UV light. The photocurrent and photovoltage are attributed to a bulk photovoltaic effect. The bulk photovoltaic effect has been known for inorganic polar crystals for decades and can now also be demonstrated for organic polar crystals. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

- Anti-tubercular agents. Part 8: Synthesis, antibacterial and antitubercular activity of 5-nitrofuran based 1,2,3-triazoles
-
A series of 5-nitrofuran-triazole conjugates were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. All the compounds exhibited promising inhibition towards Gram-positive pathogenic strains, while mild inhibitory effects were observed towards Gram-negative bacterial strains. Some of the compounds 8a, 8b, 8e, 8f, 8h are most active among the series exhibiting MIC value of 1.17 μg/ml against different bacterial strains. The bactericidal activity is found to be in accordance with the bacterial growth inhibition data. Compound 8e was found to be equipotent to the standard drug Ciprofloxacin displaying MBC value of 1.17 μg/ml against the bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis. The compounds have also demonstrated promising antibacterial activity against the resistant strain MRSA and were found to be effective inhibitors of biofilm formation. The compound 8b exhibited excellent anti-biofilm activity with IC50 value as low as 0.8 μg/ml. These conjugates were also screened for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Compound 8e showed promising antitubercular activity with MIC value of 0.25 μg/ml. Most of these compounds are less toxic to normal mammalian cells than the widely used antibacterial drug Ciprofloxacin.

- N -((1-benzyl-1 H -1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)arylamide as a new scaffold that provides rapid access to antimicrotubule agents: Synthesis and evaluation of antiproliferative activity against select cancer cell lines
-
A series of N-((1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)arylamides was synthesized by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and afforded inhibitors of cancer cell growth. For example, compound 13e had an IC 50 of 46 nM against MCF-7 human breast tumor cells. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies demonstrated that (i) meta-phenoxy substitution of the N-1-benzyl group is important for antiproliferative activity and (ii) a variety of heterocyclic substitutions for the aryl group of the arylamide are tolerated. In silico COMPARE analysis of antiproliferative activity against the NCI-60 human tumor cell line panel revealed a correlation to clinically useful antimicrotubule agents such as paclitaxel and vincristine. This in silico correlation was supported by (i) in vitro inhibition of tubulin polymerization, (ii) G2/M-phase arrest in HeLa cells as assessed by flow cytometry, and (iii) perturbation of normal microtubule activity in HeLa cells as observed by confocal microscopy. The results demonstrate that N-((1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)arylamide is a readily accessible small molecule scaffold for compounds that inhibit tubulin polymerization and tumor cell growth.

- Further naphthylcombretastatins. An investigation on the role of the naphthalene moiety
-
By synthesis and biological studies of new naphthalene analogues of combretastatins, we have found that the naphthalene is a good surrogate for the isovanillin moiety (3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) of combretastatin A-4, always generating highly cytotoxic analogues when combined with the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl or related systems. On the other hand, when the naphthalene replaces the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety, the cytotoxic activity is largely decreased. The most cytotoxic naphthalene analogues of combretastatins, which also produce inhibition of tubulin polymerization, exerted their antimitotic effects through microtubule network disruption and subsequent G2/M arrest of the cell cycle in human cancer cells.

- Substituent Effects on Benzyl Radical ESR Hyperfine Coupling Constants. The ?α*Scale Based upon Spin Delocalization
-
The electron spin resonance spectra of 21 para- and meta-substituted benzyl radicals have been analyzed.A substituent constant, ?α*, has been defined from the benzylic α-hydrogen hyperfine coupling constant.The ?α* constant reflects the component of energy that may be attributed to spin delocalization in a substituted benzyl radical in comparison to the unsubstituted radical.For the derivatives studied, para substitution is stabilizing, except when fluorine is the substituent; meta substitution destabilizes the benzyl radical.A series of radical reactions is reexamined with an extended Hammett relation.The relative importance of spin delocalization vs. polar effects is assessed by the ratio of ρ* to ρ.The importance of choosing substituents for which ?a* and ? differ widely for such an assessment is emphasized.

- Mechanisms of Elimination Reactions. 35. Deuterium Kinetic Isotope Effects and Tunneling in the Reaction of ethyl>trimethylammonium Ion with Hydroxide Ion in Mixtures of Water and Dimethyl Sulfoxide
-
The rates of reaction of ethyl>trimethylammonium (1h) and ethyl-2,2-d2>trimethylammonium (1d) iodides with hydroxide ion in mixtures of dimethyl sulfoxide and water were determined as a function of temperature.A maximum in kH/kD (7.25 at 50 degC) is observed at 35percent dimethyl sulfoxide.The Arrhenius parameters provide qualitative evidence for tunneling, and fitting the Bell theory expression for tunneling to the observed temperature dependence gives tunnel corrections, QtH/QtD, of 1.6-1.8 at 50 degC.Equations for calculating the effect of error in the Arrhenius preexponential factor, AaH/AaD, on the tunnel correction are derived.The error in QtH/QtD (3-18percent) is less than the error in AaH/AaD (10-50percent) but is still enough to render uncertain the significance of observed variations in QtH/QtD.These results are compared with earlier results on the (2-phenylethyl)trimethylammonium ion, and the effect of the p-trifluoromethyl substituent on the structure of the transition state for elimination is discussed.The application of Marcus theory to kH/kD variation in these reactions is considered.
