- Investigation into improving the aqueous solubility of the thieno[2,3-b]pyridine anti-proliferative agents
-
It is now established that the thieno[2,3-b]pyridines are a potent class of antiproliferatives. One of the main issues encountered for their clinical application is their low water solubility. In order to improve this, two strategies were pursued. First,

- Design, synthesis and biological activities of pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives as EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homologue 2) inhibitors and anticancer agents
-
Zeste enhancer homolog 2 (EZH2) is highly expressed in various malignant tumors, which could silence tumor suppressor genes via trimethylation of H3K27. Herein was first reported a novel series of pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives carrying a pyridone fragment as EZH2 inhibitors. By combining computational modeling, in vitro cellular assays and further rational structure-activity relationship exploration and optimization, compound DM-01 showed powerful inhibition towards EZH2. DM-01 was found to have significant ability to reduce the cellular H3K27me3 level in K562 cells in the Western blot test. Meanwhile, our data showed that knockdown EZH2 in A549 cells resulted in a decrease of cell sensitivity to DM-01 at 50 and 100 μM. DM-01 could also increase the transcription expression of DIRAS3 in a dose-dependent manner, a tumor suppressor in the downstream of EZH2, suggesting it was worth investigating further as a lead compound.

- 5-Hydroxyindole-based EZH2 inhibitors assembled via TCCA-catalyzed condensation and Nenitzescu reactions
-
5-Hydroxyindole derivatives have various demonstrated biological activities. Herein, we used 5-hydroxyindole as a synthetic starting point for structural alterations in a combinatorial process to synthesize 22 different compounds with EZH2 inhibitor pharmacophores. A series of 5-hydroxyindole-derived compounds were screened inhibitory activities against K562 cells. According to molecular modeling and in vitro biological activity assays, the preliminary structure-activity relationship was summarized. Compound L–04 improved both the H3K27Me3 reduction and antiproliferation parameters (IC50 = 52.6 μM). These findings revealed that compound L–04 is worthy of consideration as a lead compound to design more potent EZH2 inhibitors. During the preparation of compounds, we discovered that trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) is a novel catalyst which demonstrates condensation-promoting effects. To gain insight into the reaction, in situ React IR technology was used to confirm the reactivity. Different amines were condensed in high yields with β-diketones or β-ketoesters in the presence of TCCA to afford the corresponding products in a short time (10~20 min), which displayed some advantages and provided an alternative condensation strategy.

- Zinc (II)-mediated selective O-benzylation of 2-Oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines systems
-
The selective O-benzylation of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines plays a critical role in organic synthesis of natural products and biological active molecules. Herein we report a novel ternary system of ZnO, ZnCl2 and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), that is highly effective for selective O-benzylation of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines using abundant substituted benzyl halides and related substituted 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines compounds. This process allows access to a variety of O-benzyl products under mild reaction conditions, which are important synthetic intermediates in the protection of functional groups, and represents a new method toward the development for the O-benzylation of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines.

- Synthesis of 3-Amino-2-carboxamide Tetrahydropyrrolo[2,3- b ]quinolines
-
This article communicates the first synthesis of 3-amino-2-carboxamide pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinolines and fused-ring pyrrolopyridines in an efficient synthesis via a Thorpe-Ziegler transformation. The reported synthetic route allows for a wide range of nitrogen analogues of thienopyridines - compounds which have potent bioactivities but poor aqueous solubility.

- Synthesis and solid-state structures of alkyl-substituted 3-cyano-2-pyridones
-
A series of 3-cyano-pyridones carrying a variety of alkyl substituents at C-5 and C-6 has been synthesized and their solid-state structures have been studied. Hydrogen bonding interactions between individual pyridone molecules lead either to the formation of symmetric dimers of the R2 2(8) type or to helical chains of the C(4) type. Based on known and calculated structures for the 2-pyridone parent system, the solid-state structures can be divided in two groups representing cases with little external influence on the hydrogen bonding array (group A) and those with a larger external influence (group B).

Condensation of cyanothioacetamide or cyanoacetamide with sodium salts of 2-formyl-1-cycloalkanones afforded the corresponding cycloalkane ring fused pyridine-2(1H)-thiones and -2-pyridones. The latter compounds served as a key intermediates for the synthesis of a new class of cycloalkane ring fused pyridine glycosides.
