- Rational design of 5-HT6R ligands using a bioisosteric strategy: Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modelling
-
A bioisosteric strategy was successfully implemented with a screening protocol for new, potent 5-HT6R ligands. Initially, 2-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-nitrophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (9) was found in commercial databases using a

- Searching for Dual Inhibitors of the MDM2-p53 and MDMX-p53 Protein-Protein Interaction by a Scaffold-Hopping Approach
-
Two libraries of substituted benzimidazoles were designed using a 'scaffold-hopping' approach based on reported MDM2-p53 inhibitors. Substituents were chosen following library enumeration and docking into an MDM2 X-ray structure. Benzimidazole libraries were prepared using an efficient solution-phase approach and screened for inhibition of the MDM2-p53 and MDMX-p53 protein-protein interactions. Key examples showed inhibitory activity against both targets.

- "All-water" one-pot diverse synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles: Hydrogen bond driven 'synergistic electrophile-nucleophile dual activation' by water
-
A new "all-water" tandem arylaminoarylation/arylaminoalkylation- reduction-cyclisation route is reported for one-pot diversity oriented synthesis of regiodefined 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles. Water plays a crucial and indispensable role through hydrogen bond driven 'synergistic electrophile-nucleophile dual activation' in the formation of N-mono-aryl/aryl alkyl/alkyl/cycloalkyl o-nitroanilines under metal and base-free conditions to replace the transition metal-based C-N bond formation (aryl amination) chemistry and underlines the origin of regiodefined installation of the diverse selection of aryl, aryl alkyl, and alkyl/cycloalkyl groups as substituents on the benzimidazole scaffold to form the 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles. The influence of the hydrogen bond effect of water in promoting the arylaminoarylation reaction under base and metal-free conditions has been realized through observation of inferior yields in D2O compared to that obtained in water during the reaction of o-fluoronitrobenzene with aniline separately performed in water and D2O under similar experimental conditions. Water also provides assistance in promoting the subsequent nitro reduction and in the final cyclocondensation steps. The role of water in promoting the cyclocondensation reaction through hydrogen bonds is realized by the differential product yields during the reaction of mono-N-phenyl-o- phenylenediamine with benzaldehyde performed separately in water and D 2O. The better hydrogen bond donor and hydrogen bond acceptor abilities of water compared to those of the organic solvents are the contributing/deciding factors for making the new water-assisted tandem arylaminoarylation/arylaminoalkylation-reduction-cyclisation strategy for the diversified synthesis of the regiodefined 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles effective in an aqueous medium, making it represent a true "all-water chemistry."

- "All-water" chemistry of tandem N-alkylation-reduction- condensation for synthesis of N-arylmethyl-2-substituted benzimidazoles
-
A water-assisted tandem N-alkylation-reduction-condensation process has been devised as a new synthetic route for the one-pot synthesis of N-arylmethyl-2-substituted benzimidazoles. Water plays the crucial and indispensable role through hydrogen bond mediated 'electrophile-nucleophile dual activation' in promoting selective N-monobenzylation of o-nitroanilines as an alternative to the transition metal-based chemistry for C-N bond formation (amination) and forms the basis of disposing the substituents on the benzimidazole moiety in regiodefined manner. Water also exerts a beneficial effect in the condensation of N-monobenzylated o-phenylenediamines with aldehydes. The water-assisted C-N bond formation chemistry led to metal/base-free synthesis of N-monobenzylated o-nitroanilines and N-monobenzylated o-phenylenediamines. The indispensable/advantageous role of water in the various stage of the N-alkylation-reduction-condensation process exemplifies an 'all-water' chemistry for the synthesis of N-arylmethyl-2- substituted benzimidazoles.
