- Identification of novel 1,3-diaryl-1,2,4-triazole-capped histone deacetylase 6 inhibitors with potential anti-gastric cancer activity
-
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has emerged as a critical regulator of many cellular pathways in tumors due to its unique structure basis and abundant substrate types. Over the past few decades, the role played by HDAC6 inhibitors as anticancer agents has sparked great interest of biochemists worldwide. However, they were less reported for gastric cancer therapy. In this paper, with the help of bioisosteric replacement, in-house library screening, and lead optimization strategies, we designed, synthesized and verified a series of 1,3-diaryl-1,2,4-triazole-capped HDAC6 inhibitors with promising anti-gastric cancer activities. Amongst, compound 9r displayed the best inhibitory activity towards HDAC6 (IC50 = 30.6 nM), with 128-fold selectivity over HDAC1. Further BLI and CETSA assay proved the high affinity of 9r to HDAC6. In addition, 9r could dose-dependently upregulate the levels of acetylated α-tubulin, without significant effect on acetylated histone H3 in MGC803 cells. Besides, 9r exhibited potent antiproliferative effect on MGC803 cells, and promoted apoptosis and suppressed the metastasis without obvious toxicity, suggesting 9r would serve as a potential lead compound for the development of novel therapeutic agents of gastric cancer.

- From Phenylhydrazone to 1H-1,2,4-Triazoles via Nitrification, Reduction and Cyclization
-
Herein we report an annulation of phenylhydrazone via a tandem nitrification, reduction, cyclization protocol employing cobalt nitrate and 1,2-dichloroethane to produce substituted 1H-1,2,4-triazoles. Notably, 1,2-dichloroethane serves both the solvent and a hydrogen source for transfer hydrogenation. This methodology works under mild conditions, providing a direct approach for the synthesis of 1H-1,2,4-triazoles. (Figure presented.).

- Radical Addition of Hydrazones by α-Bromo Ketones to Prepare 1,3,5-Trisubstituted Pyrazoles via Visible Light Catalysis
-
A novel efficient tandem reaction of hydrazones and α-bromo ketones is reported for the preparation of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles by visible light catalysis. In this system, the monosubstituted hydrazones show wonderful reaction activity with alkyl radicals, generated from α-bromo ketones. A radical addition followed by intramolecular cyclization affords the important pyrazole skeleton in good to excellent yields. This efficient strategy under mild conditions with wide group tolerance provides a potential approach to the 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles.

- Copper-mediated synthesis of substituted 2-aryl-N-benzylbenzimidazoles and 2-arylbenzoxazoles via C-H functionalization/C-N/C-O bond formation
-
An efficient method for the transformation of N-benzyl bisarylhydrazones and bisaryloxime ethers to functionalized 2-aryl-N-benzylbenzimidazoles and 2-arylbenzoxazoles is described. The protocol involves a copper(II)-mediated cascade C-H functionalization/C-N/C-O bond formation under neutral conditions. Substrates having either electron-donating or -withdrawing substituents undergo the cyclization to afford the target heterocycles at moderate temperature.
