- Iron-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling of Indoline-2-ones with Aminobenzamides via Dual C-H Functionalization
-
We describe an unprecedented dual C-H functionalization of indolin-2-one via an oxidative C(sp3)-H/N-H/X-H (X = N, C, S) cross-coupling protocol, which is catalyzed by a simple iron salt under mild and ligand-free conditions and employs air (molecular oxygen) as the terminal oxidant. This method is readily applicable for the construction of tetrasubstituted carbon centers from methylenes and provides a wide variety of spiro N-heterocyclic oxindoles.

- First asymmetric reduction of isatin by marine-derived fungi
-
In this study, whole cells of marine-derived fungi were used to reduce isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione) to dioxindole (3-hydroxyindolin-2-one) for 7 days at 32°C. The screening showed that several strains could reduce isatin and produce the enantioenriched dioxindole. The best conversions were obtained by Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237 and Westerdykella sp. CBMAI 1679, however, the best enantiomeric excess was obtained only by Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935 (66percent ee). In conclusion, marine-derived fungi show potential for asymmetric and chemoselective reduction of isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione).

- Synthesis and Ameliorative Effect of Isatin–Mesalamine Conjugates on Acetic Acid-induced Colitis in Rats
-
A series of new isatin–mesalamine conjugates (9a–g) were synthesized via conjugation of isatin (3a) and its derivatives (3b–3d, 4, 5, and 6) with mesalamine (7) by using chloroacetyl chloride as a bifunctional linker. Compounds 3a–3d were prepared by employing Sandmeyer reaction. Compounds 4, 5, and 6 were obtained from isatin (3a) via previously reported methods. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, mass, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectral techniques. Synthesized compounds (3a–d, 4, 5, 6, and 9a–g) were evaluated for in vitro antioxidant activity by DPPH assay method using ascorbic acid as standard. Hybrids 9b (IC50?=?368.6?±?3.5?μM) and 9f (IC50?=?335.1?±?2.9?μM) showed better antioxidant activity than its parent compounds such as 3a (IC50?=?556.8?±?2.9?μM), 5 (IC50?=?511.9?±?3.6?μM), and 7 (IC50?=?768.9?±?2.7?μM). Acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rat model was chosen to examine the antioxidant potential of the synthesized hybrids (9b and 9f) in the amelioration of ulcerative colitis. Colonic myeloperoxidase and malondialdehyde enzymes were used as biomarkers of anti-ulcerative colitis activity. In the present study, hybrids 9b and 9f reduced the levels of colonic myeloperoxidase and malondialdehyde enzymes significantly (p??0.05) when compared with control (colitic), at a dose (0.03?mM/12.5?mg/kg b.w. p.o.) (50%) less than that of its parent moieties mesalamine (0.16?mM/25?mg/kg) and isatin (0.16?mM/25?mg/kg). Thus, the molecular hybridization was proved to be significant in enhancing the activity of hybrids 9b and 9f by reducing the dose.

- Direct Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Oxindole-Derived δ-Hydroxy-β-ketoesters by Aldol Reactions
-
Direct asymmetric synthesis of δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters was accomplished via regio- and enantioselective aldol reactions of β-ketoesters with isatins catalyzed by cinchona alkaloid thiourea derivatives. The C-C bond formation of the reactions occurred only at the γ-position of the β-ketoesters. Reaction progress monitoring and product stability analyses under the conditions that included the catalyst indicated that the γ-position reaction products were formed kinetically. Various δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters bearing 3-alkyl-3-hydroxyoxindole cores relevant to the development of bioactive molecules were synthesized.

- Spectroelectrochemistry of solid indirubin and its sulfonated form
-
Electrochemical processes of solid indirubin and its sulfonated form were comparatively studied in aqueous buffers by cyclic voltammetry and long-path-length thin-layer UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry, using a carbon paste working electrode with or without indirubin particles attached. The two forms of indirubin gave similar voltammetric features as well as main reaction products. Alkaline pH of electrolyte generally had a negative effect on both the reaction systems, compared with the acidic pH. Electro-reduction of both indirubins produced their leuco forms, which can be oxidized back to the initial reactants by oxygen. In the alkaline buffers the leuco-indirubin (not sulfonated) may form aggregates with poor solubility and poor electrochemical reactivity. Electro-oxidation of both indirubins led to the irreversible formation of isatin (sulfonated or not). An EC and ECE mechanisms are proposed for the reduction and the oxidation, respectively, of indirubin in two forms. The combination of solid state and solution phase spectroelectrochemistry shows the advantage of providing multidimensional information for reaction mechanism determination.

- Altering the regioselectivity of cytochrome P450 BM-3 by saturation mutagenesis for the biosynthesis of indirubin
-
Engineering the regioselectivity of enzymes to fulfill application needs is an important goal of protein engineering. To create biocatalysts suitable for the biosynthesis of indirubin (a drug for chronic myelogenous leukemia and a novel promising anticancer agent), cytochrome P450 BM-3 was engineered by site-directed saturation mutagenesis at position D168 to alter its hydroxylation regioselectivity towards indole. One mutant, D168W, was created. It primarily produces indirubin (~90%) whereas the parent enzyme primarily forms indigo (~85%). Docking calculations showed that the mutation altered the orientation of indole, and that the C-2 of the indole pyrrole ring was closer to the heme iron of P450 BM-3 than the C-3. The mutation possibly shifted the hydroxylation preference of P450 BM-3 for indole from the C-3 to C-2, which may be responsible for the reversal of distribution of the product yield. This mutant yielded high-purity indirubin and may be a good starting point for the biosynthesis of indirubin.

- New (E)-1-alkyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylene)indolin-2-ones: Synthesis, in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation and apoptosis inducing studies
-
A new series of (E)-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylene)indolin-2-one derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against a panel of selected human cancer cell lines of prostate (PC-3 and DU-145) and breast (BT-549, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, 4T1), non-small lung (A549) and gastric (HGC) cancer cells along with normal breast epithelial cells (MCF10A). Among the tested compounds, 8l showed significant cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cancer cells with IC50values of 3.26 ± 0.24 μM and 5.96 ± 0.67 μM respectively. The compounds 8f, 8i, 8l and 8o were also screened on normal human breast epithelial cells (MCF10A) and found to be safer with lesser cytotoxicity. The treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with 8l led to inhibition of cell migration ability through disruption of F-actin protein assembly. The flow-cytometry analysis reveals that the cells arrested in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Further, the compound 8l induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells was characterized by different staining techniques such as Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB), DAPI, annexin V-FITC/PI, Rhodamine-123 and MitoSOX red assay. Western blot studies demonstrated that the compound 8l treatment led to activation of caspase-3, increased expression of cleaved PARP, increased expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells.

A C(sp 3)-H peroxidation of 3-substituted indolin-2-ones through radical coupling reaction has been developed under metal-free conditions. Using tert -butyl hydroperoxide both as an oxidant and as a peroxidation reagent to couple with the C(sp 3)-H bonds of 3-substituted indolin-2-ones can form a new C-O bond without using any additives. This simple strategy provides a green and efficient approach to 3-peroxyindolin-2-ones in moderate to excellent yields. The resulting 3-peroxyindolin-2-ones could be further transformed into 3-hydroxyindolin-2-ones.

- Guanine-rich RNAs and DNAs that bind heme robustly catalyze oxygen transfer reactions
-
Diverse guanine-rich RNAs and DNAs that fold to form guanine quadruplexes are known to form tight complexes with Fe(III) heme. We show here that a wide variety of such complexes robustly catalyze two-electron oxidations, transferring oxygen from hydrogen peroxide to thioanisole, indole, and styrene substrates. Use of 18O-labeled hydrogen peroxide reveals the source of the oxygen transferred to form thioanisole sulfoxide and styrene oxide to be the activated ferryl moiety within these systems. Hammett analysis of the kinetics of thioanisole sulfoxide formation is unable to distinguish between a one-step, direct oxygen transfer and a two-step, oxygen rebound mechanism for this catalysis. Oxygen transfer to indole produces a range of products, including indigo and related dyes. Docking of heme onto a high-resolution structure of the G-quadruplex fold of Bcl-2 promoter DNA, which both binds heme and transfers oxygen, suggests a relatively open active site for this class of ribozymes and deoxyribozymes. That heme-dependent catalysis of oxygen transfer is a property of many RNAs and DNAs has ramifications for primordial evolution, enzyme design, cellular oxidative disease, and anticancer therapeutics.

- Design, Synthesis, Characterization, and In Vitro Evaluation of Isatin-Pomalidomide Hybrids for Cytotoxicity against Multiple Myeloma Cell Lines
-
Inspired by the concept of molecular hybridization, a series of new isatin-pomalidomide hybrids (9a–9g) were designed, synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against U266B1 and RPMI 8226 multiple myeloma cell lines. Sandmeyer methodology and N-halomethylketo alkylation reaction are the two important reactions involved in the synthesis of isatin-pomalidomide hybrids (9a–9g). All the synthesized compounds (3a–3d, 4, 5, 6, and 9a–9g) were characterized by using IR, mass, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectral techniques. The efficacy of all the synthesized compounds was tested against the aforementioned cell lines by employing MTT assay (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) standard protocols while using pomalidomide as a standard. The test concentrations used in the MTT assay were 1, 10, 20, 30, and 40?μM, and the period of incubation was 24?h. All the synthesized compounds were found to have moderate to greater cytotoxic activity against the aforementioned cell lines. Among them, synthesized hybrids 9f (IC50, U266B1?=?5.15?±?0.72?μM, RPMI8226?=?11.66?±?0.79?μM) and 9g (IC50, U266B1?=?2.50?±?0.37?μM, RPMI8226?=?6.70?±?0.55?μM) displayed better cytotoxic activity against both the cell lines used in the present study.

A novel strategy has been developed for the synthesis of indoline-2,3-diones through a metal-free radical-coupling reaction. Alkyl radicals derived from indolin-2-ones through a radical-transfer reaction combine with the tert-butylhydroperoxy radical readily generated from commercially available tert-butyl hydroperoxide to afford 3-(tertbutylperoxy)indolin-2-one intermediates that can be further transformed into indoline-2,3-diones under air. This strategy provides a simple and e?cient route to the construction of a C=O bond without the use of any metal catalyst or base.

- Possible singlet oxygen generation from the photolysis of indigo dyes in methanol, DMSO, water, and ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate
-
We suggest that singlet molecular oxygen [1O2 (1Δg)] is formed upon irradiation of indigo 1 [in air or O2-saturated DMSO and DMSO (0.5% H2SO4)] and indigo carmine 2 [in air or O2-saturated CH3OH, D2O, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BmIm-BF4)]. The quantum yield for production of 1O2 is estimated to be 0.6 for 1 and 0.3-0.5 for 2. The rates of reaction of 1O2 with 1 and 2 were determined by monitoring the emission of 1O2 at 1270 nm over time. Low molar absorptivities (at 532 nm) and rapid physical quenching caused by 1 and 2 limit their utility as 1O2 photosensitizers in solution. Compounds 1 and 2 degrade slowly during the photolysis due to a self-sensitized (type I or II) photooxidation reaction. Oxidative cleavage of 1 by singlet oxygen and superoxide, and 2 by superoxide has been noted before (Kuramoto, N.; Kitao, T. J. Soc. Dyers Color. 1979, 95, 257-261; Kettle, A. J.; Clark, B.

Gratifyingly, the compounds 5j, 5o and 5r exhibited potent cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines (BT549 and MDA-MB-231) with IC50values in the range of 1.26–2.77?μM, and are found to be safer with lesser cytotoxicity on normal breast epithelial cells (MCF-10A). Further, experiments were conducted with these compounds 5j, 5o and 5r on MDA-MB-231 cancer cells to study the mechanism of growth inhibition and apoptosis inducing effect. Treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with test compounds resulted in inhibition of cell migration through disorganization and disruption of F-actin capping protein. The flow-cytometry analysis results showed that the compound 5o arrested MDA-MB-231 cells in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle in a dose dependent manner. Hoechst staining study revealed that the test compounds inhibited tumor cell proliferation through induction of apoptosis. In addition, the mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) was affected and the increased level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was noted in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Effect of these complexes on the growth of a transplantable murine tumor cell line (Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma) and their antibacterial activity were studied. In cancer study the effect of hematological profile of the tumor hosts have also been studied. In the cancer study, the complexes Ru1-Ru4, Ru10 and Ru11 have remarkably decreased the tumor volume and viable ascitic cell count as indicated by trypan blue dye exclusion test (p0.05). Treatment with the ruthenium complexes prolonged the lifespan of Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) bearing mice. Tumor inhibition by the ruthenium chelates was followed by improvements in hemoglobin, RBC and WBC values. All the complexes showed antibacterial activity, except Ru5 and Ru6. Thus, the results suggest that these ruthenium complexes have significant antitumor property and antibacterial activity. The results also reflect that the drug does not adversely affect the hematological profiles as compared to that of cisplatin on the host.

- Organocatalytic Synthesis of Benzazetidines by Trapping Hemiaminals with Protecting Groups
-
Benzazetidines are highly strained and inherently unstable heterocycles. There are only few methodologies for assembling these compounds. Here, a protocol is presented to trap an elusive cyclic, four-membered hemiaminal structure. This method affords several benzazetidines in moderate to good yields (up to 81%), and it uses inexpensive materials and does not require catalysts based on transition metals. The high ring strain energy of these benzazetidine systems was estimated by density functional theory calculations to be about 32 kcal mol-1. This synthesis can be applied also on gram scale with reaction yield essentially unchanged.

These ligands form bidentate octahedral ruthenium compounds. The title compounds were subjected to in vivo anticancer activity against a transplantable murine tumor cell line Ehrlich's Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) and in vitro cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell line Molt 4/C8, CEM and murine tumor cell line L1210. Ruthenium compounds (Ru1-Ru12) showed promising biological activity especially in decreasing tumor volume and viable ascites cell counts. Treatment with these compounds prolonged the life span of mice bearing EAC tumor by 10-43%. In vitro evaluation of these ruthenium compounds revealed cytotoxic activity from 0.24 to 27 μM against Molt 4/C8, 0.27 to 48 μM against CEM, and 0.94 to 248 μM against L1210. Their ligands alone failed to show cytotoxic activity at the concentrations tested (68-405 μM).

- An efficient synthesis of versatile synthon 3-chlorooxindoles with NaCl/oxone
-
The present work describes an expedient approach for the direct conversion of indole-3-carboxaldehyde to 3-chlorooxindoles using a simple sustainable synthetic method. From an environmental perspective, a combination of NaCl/oxone in a CH3CN?:?H2O (1?:?1) system was developed for direct oxidative chlorination of a wide array of indole derivatives. This chlorination strategy is more viable, remarkably cheaper and provides easy access to potential 3-chlorooxindoles. In addition, this environmentally benign method can also be applicable for constructing isatin derivatives in good yields.

- Assessment of 5-substituted Isatin as Surface Recognition Group: Design, Synthesis, and Antiproliferative Evaluation of Hydroxamates as Novel Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors
-
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is a promising target for cancer treatment. HDAC inhibitors consist of three pharmacophoric features: an aromatic cap group, zinc binding group (ZBG), and a linker chain connecting cap group to ZBG. Herein, we report on (i) substituted isatin moiety as the cap group that recognizes the surface of active enzyme pocket and (ii) thiosemicarbazide moiety incorporated as linker group responsible for connecting the cap group to ZBG (hydroxamic acid). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity and HDAC enzyme inhibition. The binding mode analysis of proposed compounds was evaluated by docking studies. Several analogs were found to inhibit HDAC and cellular proliferation of Hela cervical cancer cells, with GI50 values in the micromolar range. One compound (Vd) was found to have greater in vitro antiproliferative activity in comparison to other compounds.

- Quinoline carboxamide core moiety-based compounds inhibit P. falciparum falcipain-2: Design, synthesis and antimalarial efficacy studies
-
Targeting Falcipain-2 (FP2) for the development of antimalarials is a promising and established concept in antimalarial drug discovery and development. FP2, a member of papain-family cysteine protease of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum holds an important role in hemoglobin degradation pathway. A new series of quinoline carboxamide-based compounds was designed, synthesized and evaluated for antimalarial activity. We integrated molecular hybridization strategy with in-silico drug design to develop FP2 inhibitors. In-vitro results of FP2 inhibition by Qs17, Qs18, Qs20 and Qs21 were found to be in low micromolar range with IC50 4.78, 7.37, 2.14 and 2.64 μM, respectively. Among the 25 synthesized compounds, four compounds showed significant antimalarial activities. These compounds also depicted morphological and food-vacuole abnormalities much better than that of E-64, an established FP2 inhibitor. Overall these aromatic substituted quinoline carboxamides can serve as promising leads for the development of novel antimalarial agents.

- Design, synthesis, and in vitro and in vivo anti-angiogenesis study of a novel vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) inhibitor based on 1,2,3-triazole scaffold
-
In the past five years, our team had been committed to click chemistry research, exploring the biological activity of 1,2,3-triazole by synthesizing different target inhibitors. In this study, a series of novel indole-2-one derivatives based on 1,2,3-triazole scaffolds were synthesized for the first time, and their inhibitory activity on vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) was tested. Most of the compounds had shown promising activity in the VEGFR-2 kinase assay and had low toxicity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The compound 13d (IC50 = 26.38 nM) had better kinase activity inhibition ability than sunitinib (IC50 = 83.20 nM) and was less toxic to HUVECs. Moreover, it had an excellent inhibitory effect on HT-29 and MKN-45 cells. On the one hand, by tube formation assay, transwell, and Western blot analysis, compound 13d could inhibit VEGFR-2 protein phosphorylate on HUVECs, thereby inhibiting HUVECs migration and tube formation. In vivo study, the zebrafish model with VEGFR-2 labeling also verified that compound 13d had more anti-angiogenesis ability than sunitinib. On the other hand, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results showed that compound 13d could stably bind to the active site of VEGFR-2. Based on the above findings, compound 13d could be considered an effective anti-angiogenesis drug and has more development value than sunitinib.

- Microwave-Assisted Synthesis, Molecular Docking Studies and Biological Evaluation of Benzothiazole Containing Novel Indole Derivatives
-
The synthesis of novel indole derivatives 4a-o using a microwave assisted method via Schiff’s base and Mannich base reaction mechanism was described. Compounds 3a-c were synthesized via reaction of 2-amino benzothiazole with substituted isatin by Schiff base reaction mechanism. Also, indole derivatives 4a-o were synthesized via reaction of compounds 3a-c with substituted benzaldehydes by Mannich base reaction. The biological potentials of the newly synthesized indole derivatives were evaluated for their anthelmintic activity and in vitro anticancer activity by MTT assay. The anticancer activity results suggested that indole derivatives 4c-o have activity against MCF-7 and SKOV3 cells in comparison with doxorubicin as standard drug. Furthermore, the molecular docking studies of these novel derivatives of indole showed good agreement with the biological results when their binding pattern and affinity towards the active site of EGFR was also investigated.

- Hydrothermal Preparation, Crystal Structure, Photophysical Properties and Theoretical Calculation of a Cu(II) Complex
-
Abstract: A novel Cu(II) compound [CuL2]·2H2O was synthesized by hydrothermal methods, and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/c as an isolated monocyte structure. The strong π…π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions produce one-dimensional (1D) chains. A series of properties of the title compound were tested by solid state photoluminescence, CIE analysis and solid-state diffuse reflectance. The results show that the compound is a blue light emitter, CIE (0.1291, 0.0783) and has an energy bandwidth of 1.65?eV. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculation results show that the emission of the compound can be attributed to charge transfer from metal to ligand and ligand to ligand (MLCT and LLCT). Graphic Abstract: A novel Cu (II) complex is synthesized via hydrothermal preparation, which is characteristic of an isolated structure, at the same time, it displays a narrow and intense photoluminescence emission band in the blue region and theoretical study reveals that the photoluminescence emission is originated from the metal-to-ligand and ligand-to-ligand charge transfer transition.

Notably, using excess amounts of Cs 2CO 3and sodium sulfinate in such a reaction regenerated the parent aldehyde. Interestingly, the reaction of 1-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2-nitrobenzene in the presence of sulfinates and Cs 2CO 3produced isatin. The Sonogashira cross coupling of synthesized (Z)-1-bromo-1-sulfonyl alkenes with phenylacetylene gave selectively the corresponding sulfonylalkynyl alkenes.

Dearomatisation of indole derivatives to the corresponding isatin derivatives has been achieved with the aid of visible light and oxygen. It should be noted that isatin derivatives are highly important for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Notably, this chemistry works excellently with N-protected and protection-free indoles. Additionally, this methodology can also be applied to dearomatise pyrrole derivatives to generate cyclic imides in a single step. Later this methodology was applied for the synthesis of four pharmaceuticals and a pesticide called dianthalexin B. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed the actual role of oxygen and photocatalyst.

- A rhodium(ii) catalysed domino synthesis of azepino fused diindoles from isatin tethered: N -sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles and indoles
-
An efficient and convenient protocol for the synthesis of a novel class of azepino fused diindoles from isatin tethered N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles and indoles has been disclosed. The reaction proceeds via denitrogenative aza-vinyl rhodium carbene formation to give a carbonyl ylide, which with indole results in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition followed by sequential semipinacol rearrangement/ring expansion/oxidation to produce azepino fused diindoles. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope giving up to 81% yield. Furthermore, reversible catalytic hydrogenation and photophysical studies were carried out to demonstrate the application of these molecules.

Abstract: A novel copper complex [CuL(bipy)(H2O)]·H2O was synthesized by solvothermal reaction and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. (HL = 3-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline4-carboxylic acid; bipy = 2,2′-bipyrdine) The title complex (1) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system of the Pbca space group, and exists as an isolated mononuclear structure. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds and the strong π···π stacking interactions yield a three-dimensional (3-D) supramolecular network. Solid-state photoluminescence spectrum uncovers that it shows an emission in the pale blue region of the light spectrum. It has remarkable CIE (Commission Internationale de I’éclairage) chromaticity coordinates of (0.2656, 0.3162), so it may be a very promising color lighting and display converter. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculation reveals that this emission is caused by to the ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT). Solid-state diffuse reflectance data shows that there is a narrow optical band gap of 1.38?eV. Therefore, it could be probably a candidate for narrow band gap semiconductors. Graphic Abstract: A novel copper (II) complex is synthesized via solvothermal reactions, which is characteristic of an isolated structure, at the same time, it displays a wide and intense photoluminescence emission band in the pale blue region and theoretical study reveals that the photoluminescence emission is originated from the ligand-to-ligand charge transfer transition.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Tryptanthrin from indigo: Synthesis, excited state deactivation routes and efficient singlet oxygen sensitization
-
The microwave-assisted synthesis of tryptanthrin from indigo in mild oxidation conditions, and a comprehensive study of the excited state properties of this compound in a variety of solvents with different polarity and viscosity values at room and low temperatures are reported. In contrast with indigo, emission of the triplet state of tryptanthrin is observed with a very efficient singlet oxygen sensitization quantum yield, indicating that the triplet state is efficiently populated. From time-resolved fluorescence and femtosecond transient absorption data, further supported with time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations, two species, with S1 states with locally excited (LE) of π,π* nature and a charge transfer (CT) of n,π* characteristics, originated from an initially populated Frank-Condon S2 state (π,π*), are observed. The two electronically independent species are energetically nearly degenerate and inter-conversion is predicted (and rate constants determined) to occur between LE (S1) and CT (S1) species. Due to the low value of the fluorescence quantum yield (~10?3) and high triplet state yield (?T≥?Δ), the high stability of this compound is associated to the high efficiency of the radiationless deactivation processes which involve the formation of the CT state which efficiently converts, through S1 ~~> Tn intersystem crossing, to the T1 triplet state.

Microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4) is a potential drug target as the same is found to be over expressed in several types of cancers. In search of effective MARK4 inhibitors, we have synthesized and characterized Isatin-triazole hydrazones (9a-i) and evaluated their inhibitory potential. Of all the compounds, 9g showed better binding affinity and enzyme inhibition potential in sub micromolar range. Human serum albumin (HSA) binding assay suggested an easy transportation of 9g in blood stream due to its binding affinity. In vitro anticancer studies performed on MCF-7, MDA-MB-435s and HepG2 cells using 9g showed inhibition of cell proliferation and cell migration. Further, 9g induces apoptosis in these cancerous cells, with IC50 values of 6.22, 9.94 and 8.14 μM, respectively. Putatively, 9g seems to cause oxidative stress resulting in apoptosis. Functional assay of 9g with a panel of 26 kinases showed MARK4 specific profile. In conclusion, 9g seems to possess an effective inhibitory potential towards MARK4 adding an additional repertoire to anticancer therapeutics.

Herein, we report a highly chemoselective and efficient heterogeneous MnO2?Fe3O4 MNP catalyst for the oxidation of benzylic sp3 C?H group of ethers using TBHP as a green oxidant to afford ester derivatives in high yield under batch/continuous flow module. This catalyst was also effective for the benzylic sp3 C?H group of methylene derivatives to furnish the ketone in high yield which can be easily integrated into continuous flow condition for scale up. The catalyst is fully characterized by spectroscopic techniques and it was found that 0.424 % MnO2?Fe3O4 catalyzes the reaction; the magnetic nanoparticles of this catalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture. The recovered catalyst was recycled for twelve cycles without any loss of the catalytic activity. The advantages of MnO2?Fe3O4 MNP are its catalytic activity, easy preparation, recovery, and recyclability, gram scale synthesis with a TOF of up to 14.93 h?1 and low metal leaching during the reaction.

- Preparation, structure, photoluminescent and semiconductive properties, and theoretical calculation of a mononuclear nickel complex with 3-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline-4-carboxylato ligand
-
A novel nickel complex with mixed ligands [Ni(L)2(EtOH)2(MeOH)2] (HL = 3-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline-4-carbox-ylic acid) has been synthesized through solvothermal reaction and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveals that the title compound crystallizes in the triclinic system of the P–1 space group, and exists as isolated mononuclear complex. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of chains, and the layered supramolecular structure is formed by the strong π???π stacking interactions. Solid-state photoluminescent characterization reveals that the title compound has an emission in the green region. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculation shows that the nature of the photoluminescence of the title compound originates from the ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT; from the HOMO of the p-orbital of ligand HMCA to the LUMO of the oxygen atoms). A wide optical band gap of 2.25 eV is found by the solid-state UV/vis diffuse reflectance spectrum.

- Design, synthesis and QSAR study of novel isatin analogues inspired Michael acceptor as potential anticancer compounds
-
Molecular hybridization is considered as an effective tactic to develop drugs for the treatment of cancer. A series of novel hybrid compounds of isatin and Michael acceptor were designed and synthesized on the basis of association principle. These hybrid compounds were tested for cytotoxic potential against human cancer cell lines namely, BGC-823, SGC-7901 and NCI-H460 by MTT assay. Most compounds showed good anti-growth activities in all tested human cancer cells. SAR and QSAR analysis may provide vital information for the future development of novel anti-cancer inhibitors. Notably, compound 6a showed potent growth inhibition on BGC-823, SGC-7901 and NCI-H460 with the IC50 values of 3.6 ± 0.6, 5.7 ± 1.2, 3.2 ± 0.7 μM, respectively. Besides, colony formation assays, wound healing assays and flow cytometry analysis indicated 6a exhibited a potent anti-growth and anti-migration ability in a concentration-dependence manner through arrested cells in the G2/M phase of cell cycle. Moreover, 6a significantly repressed tumor growth in a NCI-H460 xenograft mouse model. Overall, our findings suggested isatin analogues inspired Michael acceptor may provide promising lead compounds for the development of cancer chemotherapeutics.

- Synthesis and cytotoxic studies of novel 5-phenylisatin derivatives and their anti-migration and anti-angiogenic evaluation
-
A number of 5-arylisatin derivatives were synthesized in 5–6 steps from readily available starting materials. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and 13C NMR as well as LC/MS. The cytotoxicity of these novel isatins against human leukemia K562 cells were evaluated by MTT assay in vitro. SAR studies indicated that the N-substituted benzyl and C-5 substituted phenyl groups greatly enhance their cytotoxic activity, whereas an intact carbonyl functionality on C-3 present in the parent ring is required to maintain such a potency. Particularly, N-(p-methoxybenzyl)-5-(p-methoxyphenyl)isatin (compound 2m) showed the highest antitumor activity against K562 cell lines (IC50 = 0.03 μM). Moreover, treatment with compound 2m significantly inhibited liver cancer HepG2 cells proliferation and migration, which could also reduce the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) tube formation. In conclusion, compound 2m exhibited very good cancer cells proliferation inhibition by angiogenesis responses in vitro, and 2m might be a promising angiogenesis inhibitor for cancer treatment.

- Generation and Reactivity of Electron-Rich Carbenes on the Surface of Catalytic Gold Nanoparticles
-
The reactive nature of carbenes can be modulated, and ultimately reversed, by receiving additional electron density from a metal. Here, it is shown that Au nanoparticles (NPs) generate an electron-rich carbene on surface after transferring electron density to the carbonyl group of an in situ activated diazoacetate, as assessed by Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR), and Raman spectroscopy. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations support the observed experimental values and unveil the participation of at least three different Au atoms during carbene stabilization. The surface stabilized carbene shows an extraordinary stability against nucleophiles and reacts with electrophiles to give new products. These findings showcase the ability of catalytic Au NPs to inject electron density in energetically high but symmetrically allowed valence orbitals of sluggish molecules.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives as a new class of tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
A novel series of 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives was synthesized, characterized and evaluated for its antiproliferative activity against five cancer cell lines, Hela, SK-OV-3, HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-468, and a normal human fetal lung fibroblastic cell line, MRC-5. Among them, compound 7b displayed potent cytotoxic activity in vitro against SK-OV-3 and HCT116 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.5 and 0.2 μM, respectively. In general, the antiproliferative activity was correlated with the binding property of the colchicine binding site and inhibitory effect on tubulin polymerization. In addition, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry analysis revealed that selected compounds caused disruption of the mitotic spindle assembly and G2/M phase arrest of the cell cycle, which correlated with proliferation inhibitory activity. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated the interaction of 7b at the colchicine binding site of tubulin. These results indicate these compounds are promising inhibitors of tubulin polymerization for the potent treatment of cancer.
