Zika virus (ZIKV) infection represents a significant threat to the global health system, and the search for efficient antivirals to ZIKV remains necessary and urgent. In this study, we extended the exploration of our previously discovered scaffold of 1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-1-one and revealed that two trans isomers of compounds 2 and 7 and one mixture with major trans isomer of compound 3 as novel tetrahydroquinoline-fused imidazolone derivatives are active against ZIKV infection but they are not virucidal. Western Blot and ELISA analyses of ZIKV NS5 and NS1 further demonstrate that compounds of (±)-2, (±)-3 and (±)-7 act as effective agents against ZIKV infection. We show that the N10′s basicity is not the basic requirement for these compounds’ antiviral activity in the current work. Importantly, tuning of some pharmacophores including substituents at arene can generate promising candidates for anti-ZIKV agents.

Palladium catalysts supported on acidic fluorinated magnesium hydroxide Pd/MgF2-x(OH)x were prepared through precipitation or impregnation methods. Applications to the hydrogenation of various aldimines and ketimines resulted in good catalytic activities at mild temperatures using one atmosphere of hydrogen. Quinolines, pyridines and other N-heterocycles were successfully hydrogenated at higher temperature and hydrogen pressure using low palladium loadings and without the use of any acid additive. Such reactivity trend confirmed the positive effect of the Br?nsted and Lewis acid sites from the fluorinated magnesium hydroxide support resulting in the effective pre-activation of N-heterocycle substrates and therefore in the good catalytic activity of the palladium nanoparticles during the hydrogenations. As demonstrated in the hydrogenation of imines, the catalyst was recycled up to 10 times without either loss of activity or palladium leaching. This journal is
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel thiohydantoin derivatives as potent androgen receptor antagonists for the treatment of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common malignancy in men worldwide. Here, two series of novel thiohydantoin derivatives of enzalutamide as potent androgen receptor (AR) antagonists were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound 31c was identified as an AR antagonist which is 2.3–fold more potent than enzalutamide. Molecular docking studies were performed to explain the improved potency of 31c at AR. In cell proliferation assays, 31c exhibited similar anti-proliferative activities with enzalutamide against hormone sensitive LNCaP cells and AR-overexpressing LNCaP/AR cells. These data indicate that 31c can be a good lead compound for further structure optimization for the treatment of prostate cancer.
