- Rhodium-Catalyzed Intermolecular Cyclopropanation of Benzofurans, Indoles, and Alkenes via Cyclopropene Ring Opening
-
The generation of metal carbenoids via ring opening of cyclopropenes by transition metals offers a simple entry into highly reactive intermediates. Herein, we describe a diastereoselective intermolecular rhodium-catalyzed cyclopropanation of heterocycles and alkenes using cyclopropenes as carbene precursors with a low loading of a commercially available rhodium catalyst. The reported method is scalable and could be performed with catalyst loadings as low as 0.2 mol %, with no impact to the reaction yield or selectivity.

- Structure-based development of (1-(3′-Mercaptopropanamido)methyl)boronic Acid Derived Broad-Spectrum, Dual-Action Inhibitors of Metallo- And Serine-β-lactamases
-
The emergence and spread of bacterial pathogens acquired metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) and serine-β-lactamase (SBL) medicated β-lactam resistance gives rise to an urgent need for the development of new dual-action MBL/SBL inhibitors. Application of a pharmacophore fusion strategy led to the identification of (2′S)-(1-(3′-mercapto-2′-methylpropanamido)methyl)boronic acid (MS01) as a new dual-action inhibitor, which manifests broad-spectrum inhibition to representative MBL/SBL enzymes, including the widespread VIM-2 and KPC-2. Guided by the VIM-2:MS01 and KPC-2:MS01 complex structures, further structural optimization yielded new, more potent dual-action inhibitors. Selectivity studies indicated that the inhibitors had no apparent inhibition to human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 and showed selectivity across serine hydrolyases in E. coli and human HEK293T cells labeled by the activity-based probe TAMRA-FP. Moreover, the inhibitors displayed potentiation of meropenem efficacy against MBL- or SBL-positive clinical isolates without apparent cytotoxicity. This work will aid efforts to develop new types of clinically useful dual-action inhibitors targeting MBL/SBL enzymes.

- Synthesis and bioactivity evaluation of novel 2-salicyloylbenzofurans as antibacterial agents
-
In order to discover new antibacterial agents, series of 2-salicyloylbenzofuran derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities against three Gram-(+) strains (methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) ATCC 29213, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ATCC 43300, and Streptococcus faecalis (S. faecalis) ATCC 29212) and one Gram-(-) strain (Escherichia coli (E. coli) ATCC 25922). The 2-salicyloylbenzofuran heterocycles were generated by Rap-Stoermer condensation of salicylaldehydes with phenacyl bromides and then converted to diverse O-ether derivatives by Williamson synthesis. The targeted products were screened for in vitro qualitative (zone of inhibition) and quantitative (MIC) antibacterial activities by agar well diffusion assay and agar dilution method. Amongst the compounds, those bearing carboxylic acid functional group were found to exhibit reasonable activity against Gram-(+) bacterial strains including S. faecalis, MSSA and MRSA with the most potent antibacterial agent 8h (MICs = 0.06-0.12 mM). Besides, the 2-salicyloylbenzofurans partly displayed inhibitory activity against MRSA with the best MICs = 0.14 mM (8f) and 0.12 mM (8h). Finally, the antibacterial results preliminarily suggested that the substituent bearing carboxylic acid group at salicyloyl-C2 and the bromine atoms on the benzofuran moiety seem to be the functionality necessary for antibacterial activities.

- Cinnamoylated chloroquine analogues: A new structural class of antimalarial agents
-
A novel series of cinnamoylated chloroquine hybrid analogues were synthesized and evaluated as antimalarial agents. The trans cinnamic acid derivatives (3–8) were synthesized by utilizing substituted aldehydes and malanoic acid in DMF catalysed by DABCO. The final cinnamoylated chloroquine analogues (9–14) were synthesized by utilizing DCC coupling reagent. The amido chloroquine (17) was prepared from acid (16) and compound 2 in benzene using SOCl2 as chlorinating agent. The corresponding ester (15) was prepared from 2-hydroxy acetophenone and 2-bromoacetates in actonitrile in presence of K2CO3?as?base followed by basic hydrolysis. The preparation of amide based chloroquine-chalcone analogues (18–22), were obtained by the combination of amido chloroquine (17) and aldehydes in 10% aq. KOH in methanol at room temperature. Further we prepared epichlorohydrin based chloroquine-chalcone analogues (25–28), by reacting the epoxide (24a, 24b and 24c) with 2 and methelenedioxy aniline. In?vitro antimalarial activity against chloroquine sensitive strain 3D7, chloroquine resistant strain K1 of P.?falciparum and in?vitro cytotoxicity of compounds using VERO cell line was carried out. The synthesized molecules showed significant in?vitro antimalarial activity especially against CQ resistant strain (K1). Among tested compounds, 13, 9 and 10 were found to be the most potent compounds of the series with IC50 value of 44.06, 48.04 and 59.37?nM against chloroquine resistant K1 strain.

- Substrate-Tuned Catalysis of the Radical S-Adenosyl- L -Methionine Enzyme NosL Involved in Nosiheptide Biosynthesis
-
NosL is a radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme that converts L-Trp to 3-methyl-2-indolic acid, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of a thiopeptide antibiotic nosiheptide. In this work we investigated NosL catalysis by using a series of Trp analogues as the molecular probes. Using a benzofuran substrate 2-amino-3-(benzofuran-3-yl)propanoic acid (ABPA), we clearly demonstrated that the 5′-deoxyadenosyl (dAdo) radical-mediated hydrogen abstraction in NosL catalysis is not from the indole nitrogen but likely from the amino group of L-Trp. Unexpectedly, the major product of ABPA is a decarboxylated compound, indicating that NosL was transformed to a novel decarboxylase by an unnatural substrate. Furthermore, we showed that, for the first time to our knowledge, the dAdo radical-mediated hydrogen abstraction can occur from an alcohol hydroxy group. Our study demonstrates the intriguing promiscuity of NosL catalysis and highlights the potential of engineering radical SAM enzymes for novel activities.

A short and efficient synthesis of ent-corsifuran A by a highly asymmetric hydrogenation of a benzofuran precursor is reported. In addition, the electronic influence of the substituents on the asymmetric hydrogenation of benzofurans is provided. Whereas the hydrogenation of electron-deficient benzofurans was achieved under very mild conditions, the presence of electron-donating groups in the benzofuran required harsher reaction conditions for achieving full conversion to the 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran.

- Structure-activity relationships for a novel series of dopamine D2-like receptor ligands based on N-substituted 3-aryl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-ol
-
Discovering dopamine D2-like receptor subtype-selective ligands has been a focus of significant investigation. The D2R-selective antagonist 3-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidinyl]methylindole (1, L741,626; K i(D2R/D3R) = 11.2:163 nM) has previously provided a lead template for chemical modification. Herein, analogues have been synthesized where the piperidine was replaced by a tropane ring that reversed the selectivity seen in the parent compound, in human hD2LR- or hD3R-transfected HEK 293 cells (31, Ki(D2R/D3R) = 33.4: 15.5 nM). Further exploration of both N-substituted and aryl ring-substituted analogues resulted in the discovery of several high affinity D2R/D3R ligands with 3-benzofurylmethyl-substituents (e.g., 45, Ki(D2R/D3R) = 1.7:0.34 nM) that induced high affinity not achieved in similarly N-substituted piperidine analogues and significantly (470-fold) improved D3R binding affinity compared to the parent ligand 1. X-ray crystallographic data revealed a distinctive spatial arrangement of pharmacophoric elements in the piperidinol vs tropine analogues, providing clues for the diversity in SAR at the D2 and D3 receptor subtypes.

- Syntheses and pyrolyses of benzofuran analogues of α-oxo-o- quinodimethane. A study on vinylcarbene-cyclopropene rearrangement
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Flash vacuum pyrolyses (FVP) of benzoic 3-methyl-2-benzofurancarboxylic anhydride (12) and benzoic 2-methyl-3- benzofurancarboxylic anhydride (13) at 550°C and ca. 10-2 torr both give methylenebenzocyclobutenone (21) as the major product and indenone (22) as the minor one. A mechanism involving generation of α-oxo-o- quinodimethane 11 as the primary pyrolysis product from FVP of 13, followed by elimination of a CO molecule to give carbene 24, which undergoes a vinylcarbene-cyclopropene rearrangement and a ring contraction of the resulting carbene 23, is proposed to account for the observed results. The proposed mechanism is further supported by a deuterium-labeling study on FVP of (2-benzofuryl)methyl-α,α-d2 benzoate (28-d2).

(E)-3-Amino-4-[2-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) ethylcarbamoyl]-1-methylvinyl]benzo[b]furan ((E)-17c) showed potent and selective inhibitory activity for BLT2. On the other hand, (E)-7-(2-diethylcarbamoyl-1-methylvinyl)benzo[b]furan ((E)-27a) showed potent inhibitory activity for both BLT1 and BLT2. This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry.

- The interaction of heteroaryl-acrylates and alanines with phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from parsley
-
Acrylic acids and alanines substituted with heteroaryl groups at the β-position were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized (UV, HRMS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy). The heteroaryl groups were furanyl, thiophenyl, benzofuranyl, and benzothiophenyl and contained the alanyl side chains either at the 2- or 3-positions. While the former are good substrates for phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), the latter compounds are inhibitors. Exceptions are thiophen-3-yl-alanine, a moderate substrate and furan-3-yl-alanine, which is inert. Possible reasons for these exceptions are discussed. Starting from racemic het eroaryl-2-alanines their D-enantiomers were prepared by using a stereodestructive procedure. From the heteroaryl-2- acrylates, the L-enantiomers of the heteroaryl-2-alanines were prepared at high ammonia concentration. These results can be best explained by a Friedel - Crafts-type electrophilic attack at the aromatic part of the substrates as the initial step of the PAL reaction.

Several (carbamoylalkenyl)- and (carbamoylalkenyl)phenyloxy carboxylic acids and some of their ethyl esters were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as inhibitors of steroid 5α-reductase. Inhibitors of this enzyme may be useful in treating dihydrotestosterone-related diseases such as prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Using an enzyme preparation obtained from human prostate carcinoma tissue, the inhibition values ranged from 0 to 57% at the given dose of 100 μM. In the series of free acids, surprisingly, the compounds showed only modest inhibitory potency (0-26%). By contrast, the ethyl esters displayed inhibition values up to 57%. Sttructure-activity relationships are discussed.
