- Discovery of Novel Apigenin-Piperazine Hybrids as Potent and Selective Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 (PARP-1) Inhibitors for the Treatment of Cancer
-
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a potential target for the discovery of chemosensitizers and anticancer drugs. Amentoflavone (AMF) is reported to be a selective PARP-1 inhibitor. Here, structural modifications and trimming of AMF have led to a series of AMF derivatives (9a-h) and apigenin-piperazine/piperidine hybrids (14a-p, 15a-p, 17a-h, and 19a-f), respectively. Among these compounds, 15l exhibited a potent PARP-1 inhibitory effect (IC50 = 14.7 nM) and possessed high selectivity to PARP-1 over PARP-2 (61.2-fold). Molecular dynamics simulation and the cellular thermal shift assay revealed that 15l directly bound to the PARP-1 structure. In in vitro and in vivo studies, 15l showed a potent chemotherapy sensitizing effect against A549 cells and a selective cytotoxic effect toward SK-OV-3 cells through PARP-1 inhibition. 15l·2HCl also displayed good ADME characteristics, pharmacokinetic parameters, and a desirable safety margin. These findings demonstrated that 15l·2HCl may serve as a lead compound for chemosensitizers and the (BRCA-1)-deficient cancer therapy.

- Synthesis of N-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acids
-
Found in biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, amide-containing molecules are ubiquitous in nature, and their derivatization represents a significant methodological goal in fluorine chemistry. Trifluoromethyl amides have emerged as important functional groups frequently found in pharmaceutical compounds. To date, there is no strategy for synthesizing N-trifluoromethyl amides from abundant organic carboxylic acid derivatives, which are ideal starting materials in amide synthesis. Here, we report the synthesis of N-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acid halides and esters under mild conditions via isothiocyanates in the presence of silver fluoride at room temperature. Through this strategy, isothiocyanates are desulfurized with AgF, and then the formed derivative is acylated to afford N-trifluoromethyl amides, including previously inaccessible structures. This method shows broad scope, provides a platform for rapidly generating N-trifluoromethyl amides by virtue of the diversity and availability of both reaction partners, and should find application in the modification of advanced intermediates.

- Versatile Cp*Co(III)(LX) Catalyst System for Selective Intramolecular C-H Amidation Reactions
-
Herein, we report the development of a tailored cobalt catalyst system of Cp*Co(III)(LX) toward intramolecular C-H nitrene insertion of azidoformates to afford cyclic carbamates. The cobalt complexes were easy to prepare and bench-stable, thus offering a convenient reaction protocol. The catalytic reactivity was significantly improved by the electronic tuning of the bidentate LX ligands, and the observed regioselectivity was rationalized by the conformational analysis and DFT calculations of the transition states. The superior performance of the newly developed cobalt catalyst system could be broadly applied to both C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H carbamation reactions under mild conditions.

- Discovery of (3-Benzyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)carbamates as new antitubercular agents with potent in vitro and in vivo efficacy
-
A series of 3-amino-5-benzylphenol derivatives were designed and synthesized. Among them, (3-benzyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)carbamates were found to exert good inhibitory activity against M. tuberculosis H37Ra, H37Rv and clinically isolated multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis strains (MIC = 0.625-6.25 μg/mL). The privileged compounds 3i and 3l showed moderate cytotoxicity against cell line A549. Compound 3l also exhibited potent in vivo inhibitory activity on a mouse infection model via the oral administration. The results demonstrated 3-hydroxyphenylcarbamates as a class of new antitubercular agents with good potential.

- Benzoxazin-4-ones as novel, easily accessible inhibitors for rhomboid proteases
-
Rhomboid proteases form one of the most widespread intramembrane protease families. They have been implicated in variety of human diseases. The currently reported rhomboid inhibitors display some selectivity, but their construction involves multistep synthesis protocols. Here, we report benzoxazin-4-ones as novel inhibitors of rhomboid proteases with a covalent, but slow reversible inhibition mechanism. Benzoxazin-4-ones can be synthesized from anthranilic acid derivatives in a one-step synthesis, making them easily accessible. We demonstrate that an alkoxy substituent at the 2-position is crucial for potency and results in low micromolar inhibitors of rhomboid proteases. Hence, we expect that these compounds will allow rapid synthesis and optimization of inhibitors of rhomboids from different organisms.

- In vitro radical scavenging and cytotoxic activities of novel hybrid selenocarbamates
-
Novel selenocyanate and diselenide derivatives containing a carbamate moiety were synthesised and evaluated in vitro to determine their cytotoxic and radical scavenging properties. Cytotoxic activity was tested against a panel of human cell lines including CCRF-CEM (lymphoblastic leukaemia), HT-29 (colon carcinoma), HTB-54 (lung carcinoma), PC-3 (prostate carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), 184B5 (non-malignant, mammary gland derived) and BEAS-2B (non-malignant, derived from bronchial epithelium). Most of the compounds displayed high antiproliferative activity with GI50 values below 10 μM in MCF-7, CCRF-CEM and PC-3 cells. Radical scavenging properties of the new selenocompounds were confirmed testing their ability to scavenge DPPH and ABTS radicals. Based on the activity of selenium-based glutathione peroxidases (GPxs), compounds 1a, 2e and 2h were further screened for their capacity to reduce hydrogen peroxide under thiol presence. Results suggest that compound 1a mimics GPxs activity. Cytotoxic parameters, radical scavenging activity and ADME profile point to 1a as promising drug candidate.

- Ureidopeptide-based Bronsted bases: Design, synthesis and application to the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of β-amino nitriles from (arylsulfonyl)acetonitriles
-
The addition of cyanoalkyl moieties to imines is a very attractive method for the preparation of β-amino nitriles. We present a highly efficient organocatalytic methodology for the stereoselective synthesis of β-amino nitriles, in which the key to success is the use of ureidopeptide-based Bronsted base catalysts in combination with (arylsulfonyl)acetonitriles as synthetic equivalents of the acetonitrile anion. The method gives access to a variety of β-amino nitriles with good yields and excellent enantioselectivities, and broadens the stereoselective Mannich-type methodologies available for their synthesis. Learning from peptides: A concise route for the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of β-amino nitriles has been achieved by using ureidopeptide-based Bronsted bases as catalysts in the Mannich reaction of N-Boc imines and (arylsulfonyl)acetonitriles (see scheme; Boc=tert-butoxycarbonyl, napht=naphthyl, TMS=trimethylsilyl).

- Further characterization of a putative serine protease contributing to the γ-secretase cleavage of β-amyloid precursor protein
-
The 3-alkoxy-7-amino-4-chloro-isocoumarins JLK-6 and JLK-2 have been shown to markedly reduce the production of Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) by Amyloid-β Precursor Protein (APP) expressing HEK293 cells by affecting the γ-secretase cleavage of APP, with no effect on the cleavage of the Notch receptor. This suggested that these compounds do not directly inhibit the presenilin-dependent γ-secretase complex but more likely interfere with an upstream target involved in γ-secretase-associated pathway. The mechanism of action of these compounds is unknown and there are high fundamental and therapeutical interests to unravel their target. Isocoumarin compounds were previously shown to behave as potent mechanism-based irreversible inhibitors of serine proteases, suggesting that the JLK-directed target could belong to such enzyme family. To get further insight into structure-activity relationships and to develop more potent isocoumarin derivatives, we have synthesized and evaluated a series of isocoumarin analogues with modifications at positions 3, 4 and 7. In particular, the 7-amino group was substituted with either acyl, urethane, alkyl or aryl groups, which could represent additional interaction sites. Altogether, the results highlighted the essential integrity of the 3-alkoxy-7-amino-4-chloro-isocoumarin scaffold for Aβ-lowering activity and supported the involvement of a serine protease, or may be more generally, a serine hydrolase. The newly reported 7-N-alkyl series produced the most active compounds with an IC50 between 10 and 30 μM. Finally, we also explored peptide boronates, a series of reversible serine protease inhibitors, previously shown to also lower cellular Aβ production. The presented data suggested they could act on the same target or interfere with the same pathway as isocoumarins derivatives.

- 1-(Hydroxyacetyl)pyrene a new fluorescent phototrigger for cell imaging and caging of alcohols, phenol and adenosine
-
1-(Hydroxyacetyl)pyrene has been introduced as a new fluorescent phototrigger for alcohols and phenols. Alcohols and phenols were protected as their corresponding carbonate esters by coupling with fluorescent phototrigger, 1-(hydroxyacetyl)pyrene. Photophysical studies of caged carbonates showed that they all exhibited strong fluorescence properties. Irradiation of the caged carbonates by visible light (≥410 nm) in aqueous acetonitrile released the corresponding alcohols or phenols in high chemical (95-97%) and quantum (0.17-0.21) yields. The mechanism for the photorelease was proposed based on Stern-Volmer quenching experiments and solvent effect studies. Importantly, 1-(hydroxyacetyl)pyrene showed as a phototrigger for rapid photorelease of the biologically active molecule adenosine. In vitro biological studies revealed that 1-(hydroxyacetyl)pyrene has good biocompatibility, cellular uptake property and cell imaging ability.

- Alkali-metal ion catalysis in alkaline ethanolysis of 2-pyridyl benzoate and benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate: Effect of modification of nonleaving group from benzoyl to benzyloxycarbonyl
-
A kinetic study is reported on nucleophilic displacement reactions of benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 6 with alkalimetal ethoxides, EtOM (M = Li, Na, and K), in anhydrous ethanol at 25.0 ± 0.1 oC. The plots of pseudo-firstorder rate constant kobsd vs. [EtOM] curve upward, a typical phenomenon reported previously for alkaline ethanolysis of esters in which alkali-metal ions behave as a Lewis-acid catalyst. The kobsd value for the reaction of 6 with a fixed EtOK concentration decreases rapidly upon addition of 18-crown-6-ether (18C6), a complexing agent for K+ ion up to [18C6]/[EtOK] = 1.0 and then remains constant thereafter, indicating that the catalytic effect exerted by K+ ion disappears in the presence of excess 18C6. The reactivity of EtOM towards 6 increases in the order EtO- EtOLi EtONa EtOK, which is contrasting to the reactivity order reported for the corresponding reactions of 2-pyridyl benzoate 4, i.e., EtO- EtOK EtONa EtOLi. Besides, 6 is 1.7 and 3.5 times more reactive than 4 towards dissociated EtO- and ion-paired EtOK, respectively. The reactivity difference and the contrasting metal-ion selectivity are discussed in terms of electronic effects and transition-state structures.

- Solvent-assisted thiocarboxylation of amines and alcohols with carbon monoxide and sulfur under mild conditions
-
DMSO or DMF as a solvent strongly accelerated the thiocarboxylation of amines and alcohols with carbon monoxide and sulfur. Under mild conditions (1 atm, 20°C), this thiocarboxylation of amines assisted by DMSO with carbon monoxide and sulfur has been developed into a practical and convenient synthetic method for S-alkyl thiocarbamates in good to excellent yields, including EPTC, thiobencarb, orbencarb, and molinate (herbicides). DMF also showed the similar solvent effect. NMP slightly decreased the effect for the thiocarboxylation of amines, and the yield of S-alkyl thiocarbamate was lowered in DMAc. Surprisingly, no formation of S-alkyl thiocarbamate was observed at the use of the other solvents, such as THF, hexane, toluene, AcOEt, MeCN, MeOH, and H 2O. The present solvent-assisted thiocarboxylation with carbon monoxide and sulfur could be also applied to a new synthesis of S-alkyl O-alkyl carbonothioates from alcohols under mild conditions (1 atm, 20°C) in DMF using DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene).

- (Aryltelluro)formates as precursors of alkyl radicals: Thermolysis and photolysis of primary and secondary alkyl (aryltelluro)formates
-
Alkyl (aryltelluro)formates are effective precursors of oxyacyl, methyl, and primary and secondary alkyl radicals. At room temperature, irradiation of a benzene solution of methyl (aryltelluro)-formates 10-12, 2-methylpropyl (aryltelluro)formates 14 and 15, octyl (phenyltelluro)formate (17), cyclohexyl (aryltelluro)formates 19 and 20, 3β-cholestanyl (aryltelluro)formates 22 and 23, cholesteryl (phenyltelluro)formate (24) and benzyl (phenyltelluro)formate (27) with a 250-W low-pressure mercury lamp leads to the formation of oxyacyl radicals (34), which can be trapped by diphenyl diselenide to give the corresponding alkyl (phenylseleno)formates 13, 16, 18, 21, 24, 26, and 28 with excellent overall conversions. Thermolysis of these telluroformates at 160 °C in the dark leads to the formation of methyl and primary and secondary alkyl aryl tellurides 36-43 in excellent yields. Presumably, these transformations involve oxyacyl radicals, which undergo subsequent decarboxylation at the elevated temperature to afford alkyl radicals, which become involved in further radical chemistry. When 1-(benzylseleno)-5-hexyl (phenyltelluro)formate (44) was thermolysed under these conditions, 2-methylselenane (45) was observed as the sole selenium-containing product, demonstrating the synthetic utility of (aryltelluro)formates as alkyl radical precursors.

- SYNTHESES DE CARBONATES ET CARBAMATES BENZYLIQUES ET ALLYLIQUES
-
Different methods for the preparation of carbonates and carbamates derived from 1-phenylethyl, 2-cyclohexenyl and 1-methyl-2-propenyl are described.These conmpounds have been synthesized by the reactions of alcohols, phenols or amines with chloroformiates, imidazolocarbonates or corresponding mixed p-nitrophenylcarbonates. It is shown that these reactions can also be used for the introduction of 1-phenylethyloxycarbonyl - (I), 2-cyclohexenyloxycarbonyl - (II) and 1-methyl-2-propenyloxycarbonyl - (III) groups into alcohols, phenols and amines for the protection of hydroxyls and amino-groups.
