- One-pot sequential oxidation and aldol-condensation reactions of veratryl alcohol catalyzed by the Ru@ZIF-8 + CuO/basic ionic liquid system
-
The development of green and efficient methods to transform lignin into fuels and high value-added chemicals is of great importance. In this work, we studied one-pot sequential oxidation and aldol-condensation reactions of veratryl alcohol in a basic ionic liquid (BIL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium 5-nitrobenzimidazolide, which acted as the solvent and provided the basic conditions required for the reactions. The effects of different factors such as the type of catalyst, reaction time, reaction temperature, and the amount of BIL on the oxidation reaction were investigated. It was demonstrated that the catalytic performance of individual Ru@ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework-8) or CuO was very poor for the oxidation of veratryl alcohol to veratryl aldehyde. Interestingly, Ru@ZIF-8 + CuO was very efficient for the oxidation reaction and a high yield of veratryl aldehyde could be obtained, indicating the excellent synergistic effect of the two catalysts in the BIL. The veratryl aldehyde generated by the oxidation of veratryl alcohol could react directly with acetone to form 3,4-dimethoxybenzylideneacetone by aldol-condensation reaction catalyzed by the BIL in high yield.

- Novel substituted 5-methyl-4-acylaminoisoxazoles as antimitotic agents: Evaluation of selectivity to LNCaP cancer cells
-
A series of novel antimitotic agents was designed using the replacement of heterocyclic cores in two tubulin-targeting lead molecules with the acylated 4-aminoisoxazole moiety. Target compounds were synthesized via heterocyclization of β-aryl-substituted vinylketones by tert-butyl nitrite in the presence of water as a key step. 4-Methyl-N-[5-methyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)isoxazol-4-yl]benzamide (1aa) was found to stimulate partial depolymerization of microtubules of human lung carcinoma A549 cells at a high concentration of 100 μM and to totally inhibit cell growth (IC50 = 0.99 μM) and cell viability (IC50 = 0.271 μM) in the nanomolar to submicromolar concentration range. These data provide evidence of the multitarget profile of the cytotoxic action of compound 1aa. The SAR study demonstrated that the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl residue is the key structural parameter determining the efficiency both towards tubulin and other molecular targets. The cytotoxicity of 3-methyl-N-[5-methyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)isoxazol-4-yl]benzamide (1ab) to the androgen-sensitive human prostate adenocarcinoma cancer cell line LNCaP (IC50 = 0.301 μM) was approximately one order of magnitude higher than that to the conditionally normal cells lines WI-26 VA4 (IC50 = 2.26 μM) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (IC50 = 5.58 μM) and significantly higher than that to primary fibroblasts (IC50 > 75 μM).

- Design, green synthesis, antioxidant activity screening, and evaluation of protective effect on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury of novel monoenone monocarbonyl curcumin analogs
-
Antioxidants with high efficacy and low toxicity have the potential to treat cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI). Dienone monocarbonyl curcumin analogs (DMCA) capable of overcoming the instability and pharmacokinetic defects of curcumin possess notable antioxidant activity but are found to be significantly toxic. In this study, a novel skeleton of the monoenone monocarbonyl curcumin analogue sAc possessing reduced toxicity and improved stability was designed on the basis of the DMCA skeleton. Moreover, 32 sAc analogs were obtained by applying a green, simple, and economical synthetic method. Multiple sAc analogs with an antioxidant protective effect in PC12 cells were screened using an H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage model, and quantitative evaluation of structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model with regression coefficient of R2 = 0.918921 was built through random forest algorithm (RF). Among these compounds, the optimally active compound sAc15 elicited a potent protective effect on cell growth of PC12 cells by effectively eliminating ROS generation in response to oxidative stress injury by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling pathway. In addition, sAc15 exhibited good protection against CIRI in the mice middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. In this paper, we provide a novel class of antioxidants and a potential compound for stroke treatment.

- Discovery and Characterization of Pure RhlR Antagonists against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections
-
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic human pathogen that forms biofilms and produces virulence factors via quorum sensing (QS). Blocking the QS system in P. aeruginosa is an excellent strategy to reduce biofilm formation and the production of virulence factors. RhlR plays an essential role in the QS system of P. aeruginosa. We synthesized 55 analogues based on the chemical structure of 4-gingerol and evaluated their RhlR inhibitory activities using the cell-based reporter strain assay. Comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies identified the alkynyl ketone 30 as the most potent RhlR antagonist. This compound displayed selective RhlR antagonism over LasR and PqsR, strong inhibition of biofilm formation, and reduced production of virulence factors in P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the survival rate of Tenebrio molitor larvae treated with 30 in vivo greatly improved. Therefore, compound 30, a pure RhlR antagonist, can be utilized for developing QS-modulating molecules in the control of P. aeruginosa infections.

- Synthesis and biological evaluations of monocarbonyl curcumin inspired pyrazole analogues as potential anti-colon cancer agent
-
Purpose: The monocarbonyl analogs of curcumin (MCACs) have been widely studied for their promising antitumor activity. Pyrazole is a five-membered aromatic heterocyclic system with various bioactivities incorporated frequently in drugs. However, few of MCACs inspired pyrazole analogues were investigated. To search for more potent cytotoxic agents based on MCACs, a series of new 1,5-diaryl/heteroaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-ones inspired pyrazole moiety was synthesized and evaluated on their anti-colon cancer activities. Methods: Fifteen new compounds were synthesized and characterized by spectral datum, and then they were tested preliminarily by MTT assay for their cytotoxic activities against a panel of four human cancer cell lines, namely, gastric (SGC-7901), liver (HepG2), lung (A549), and colon (SW620) cancer cells. Compound 7h exhibited excellent selectivity and outstanding anti-proliferation activity against SW620 cells among these 15 compounds. Further, the mechanisms were investigated by transwell migration and invasion assay, clonogenic assay, cell apoptosis analysis, cell cycle analysis, Western blot analysis. Results: The IC50 value of 7h against SW620 cells was 12 nM, being more potent than curcumin (IC50 = 9.36 μM), adriamysin (IC50 = 3.28 μM) and oxaliplatin (IC50 = 13.33 μM). Further assays showed that 7h inhibited SW620 cell migration, invasion and colony formation obviously, which was due to its ability to induce cell cycle arrest in the G2/M and S phases and apoptosis. Western blot assay revealed that 7h decreased the protein expression of ATM gene, which may primarily contribute to its anticancer activity against SW620 cells. Conclusion: A new MCACs 7h was synthesized and found to exhibit excellent anti-proliferation activity against SW620 cells. Further studies indicated that 7h exerted its anticancer activity against SW620 cells probably via decreasing the ATM protein expression. The present study suggested that 7h was a promising candidate as an anti-colon cancer drug for future development.

- The construction of novel and efficient hafnium catalysts using naturally existing tannic acid for Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction
-
The conversion of carbonyl compounds into alcohols or their derivatives via the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) process known as Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction is an important reaction in the reaction chain involved in biomass transformation. The rational design of efficient catalysts using natural and renewable materials is critical for decreasing the catalyst cost and for the sustainable supply of raw materials during catalyst preparation. In this study, a novel hafnium-based catalyst was constructed using naturally existing tannic acid as the ligand. The prepared hafnium-tannic acid (Hf-TA) catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetry (TG). Hf-TA was applied in the conversion of furfuraldehyde (FD) to furfuryl alcohol (FA) using isopropanol (2-PrOH) as both the reaction solvent and the hydrogen source. Both preparation conditions and the effects of the reaction parameters on the performance of the catalyst were studied. Under the relatively mild reaction conditions of 70 °C and 3 h, FD (1 mmol) could be converted into FA with a high yield of 99.0%. In addition, the Hf-TA catalyst could be reused at least ten times without a notable decrease in activity and selectivity, indicating its excellent stability. It was proved that Hf-TA could also catalyze the conversion of various carbonyl compounds with different structures. The high efficiency, natural occurrence of tannic acid, and facile preparation process make Hf-TA a potential catalyst for applications in the biomass conversion field.

- Method for synthesizing asymmetrical mono-carbonyl curcumin analogue intermediate
-
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing an asymmetrical mono-carbonyl curcumin analogue intermediate. The method comprises the following steps: using one of acetone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, pyrone and 4-piperidone and benzaldehyde with a substituent group as reaction raw materials, using anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent, firstly reacting for 48 h under the catalysis of L-proline, then using concentrated hydrochloric acid to provide an acidic condition for dehydration, and carrying out room temperature reaction synthesis to obtain the asymmetrical mono-carbonyl curcumin analogue intermediate. All kinds of raw materials used in the method are generally commercialized, and can be directly purchased and obtained. Compared with the prior art, a great number of solid wastes cannot be generated without using any precious metal catalyst or halogenated solvent. Therefore, the method has the advantages of simple steps, easy operation, little pollution, high yield, easyobtaining for raw materials and the like, and has potential and wide application prospects, so that reference can be provided for the synthesis of the asymmetrical mono-carbonyl curcumin analogue intermediate.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of curcumin inspired imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine analogues as tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
With an aim to develop new curcumin inspired analogues as potent anticancer agents, we synthesized a series of (1E,4E)-1-phenyl-5-(3-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)penta-1,4-dien-3-ones (12a–t) as tubulin polymerization inhibitors. An initial screening was carried out to evaluate their cytotoxic potential on a panel of six cancer cell lines namely, cervical (HeLa), gastric (HGC-27), lung (NCI-H460), prostate (DU-145 and PC-3) and breast (4T1), using MTT assay. Among the compounds tested, compounds 12e, 12r and 12t showed potent growth inhibition and 12t {(1E,4E)-1-(3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)-5-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one} being the most active member of the series inhibited the growth of all the tested cell lines with IC50 values varying from 1.7 – 2.97 μM. Moreover, 12t showed promising cytotoxicity on PC-3, HGC-27 and HeLa cell lines with IC50 values of 2.11 ± 0.27 μM, 2.21 ± 0.25 μM and 2.53 ± 0.01 μM respectively. The results from aqueous solubility test showed that compounds 12e and 12t have 1.7 and 2.8 times more aqueous solubility than curcumin. Interestingly, the most active compound 12t was found to be nearly 2 times more selective on PC-3 cells as well as safe on normal human prostate (RWPE-1) cells. In addition, compound 12t efficiently inhibited tubulin polymerization with IC50 value of 8.44 ± 0.13 μM and molecular modelling studies disclosed that 12t binds at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin. Cell cycle analysis revealed that 12t arrests PC-3 cells in G2/M phase in a dose dependant manner. Further, treatment of PC-3 cells with 12t showed typical apoptotic morphology, also led to the impairment of mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Altogether, the results from acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO-EB) and DAPI staining studies, annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining assay, analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels undoubtedly demonstrated the induction of apoptosis in PC-3 cells by compound 12t.

- Discovery of new MD2-targeted anti-inflammatory compounds for the treatment of sepsis and acute lung injury
-
Myeloid differentiation 2 (MD2) is essential to the recognition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the subsequent mediation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-dependent acute inflammatory disorders including sepsis and acute lung injury. Inhibitors targeting MD2 may provide an alternative means to subdue acute inflammatory diseases. In the present study, 39 bisaryl-1,4-dien-3-one compounds with 5-carbon connection chains were designed and synthesized as MD2 inhibitors based on the analysis of the molecular docking of xanthohumol to MD2. The compound-MD2 interactions were measured by cell-free assays including bis-ANS displacement and SPR, and the active compounds were further tested for MD2 inhibition and anti-inflammatory activities in LPS-challenged macrophages. The most active compound, 1f, was shown to have remarkable protective effects against sepsis shock and pulmonary inflammation. Collectively, we present evidence that bisaryl-1,4-dien-3-one is a new lead structure for the development of anti-inflammatory agents targeting MD2.

In our endeavour towards the development of potent cytotoxic agents, a series of some new curcumin inspired indole analogues, in which indole and phenyl moieties are linked on either sides of 1,5-diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one system have been synthesized and characterized by spectral data. All the newly synthesized analogues were tested for their cytotoxic potential against a panel of eight cancer cell lines namely, lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231, BT549 and 4T1), prostate (PC-3, DU145), gastric (HGC-27) and cervical (HeLa). Notably, among all the compounds tested, compounds 11c, 11d and 11f showed potent growth inhibition on PC-3 and BT549 with IC50values in the range of 3.12–6.34?μM and 4.69–8.72?μM respectively. The most active compound (11c) was also tested on RWPE-1 (normal prostate) cells and was found to be safe compared to the PC-3?cells. In tubulin polymerization assay, compounds 11c and 11f effectively inhibited microtubule assembly with IC50values of 10.21?±?0.10 and 8.83?±?0.06?μM respectively. The results from molecular modelling studies revealed that these compounds bind at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin. Moreover, DAPI and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining studies indicated that compounds 11c and 11f can induce apoptosis in PC-3?cells. Further flow-cytometry analysis revealed that compound 11c arrests PC-3?cells in G2/M phase of the cell cycle while compound 11f treatment resulted in moderate increase in the G2/M population. Additionally, the treatment by these compounds led to the impairment of mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) in PC-3?cells.

A series of curcumin inspired sulfonamide derivatives was prepared from various chalcones and 4-sulfamoyl benzaldehyde via Claisen–Schmidt condensation. All new compounds were assayed as inhibitors of four human isoforms of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms hCA I, II, IX and XII. Interesting inhibitory activities were observed against all these isoforms. hCA I, an isoform involved in several eye diseases was inhibited moderately with KIs in the range of 191.8–904.2 nM, hCA II, an antiglaucoma drug target was highly inhibited by the new sulfonamides, with KIs in the range of 0.75–8.8 nM. hCA IX, a tumor-associated isoform involved in cancer progression and metastatic spread was potently inhibited by the new sulfonamides, with KIs in the range of 2.3–87.3 nM, whereas hCA XII, and antiglaucoma and anticancer drug target, was inhibited with KIs in the range of 6.1–71.8 nM. It is noteworthy that one of the new compounds, 5d, was found to be almost 9 times more selective against hCA II (KI = 0.89 nM) over hCA IX and hCA XII, whereas 5e was 3 and 70 times more selective against hCA II (KI = 0.75 nM) over hCA IX and hCA XII, respectively.

- Structure-Activity Relationships of 6- and 8-Gingerol Analogs as Anti-Biofilm Agents
-
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a causative agent of chronic infections in immunocompromised patients. Disruption of quorum sensing circuits is an attractive strategy for treating diseases associated with P. aeruginosa infection. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of gingerol analogs targeting LasR, a master regulator of quorum sensing networks in P. aeruginosa. Structure-activity relationship studies showed that a hydrogen-bonding interaction in the head section, stereochemistry and rotational rigidity in the middle section, and optimal alkyl chain length in the tail section are important factors for the enhancement of LasR-binding affinity and for the inhibition of biofilm formation. The most potent compound 41, an analog of (R)-8-gingerol with restricted rotation, showed stronger LasR-binding affinity and inhibition of biofilm formation than the known LasR antagonist (S)-6-gingerol. This new LasR antagonist can be used as an early lead compound for the development of anti-biofilm agents to treat P. aeruginosa infections.

- Novel Benzo[a]quinolizidine Analogs Induce Cancer Cell Death through Paraptosis and Apoptosis
-
Paraptosis is nonapoptotic cell death characterized by massive endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- or mitochondria-derived vacuoles. Induction of paraptosis offers significant advantages for the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant tumors compared with anticancer drugs that rely on apoptosis. Because some natural alkaloids induce paraptotic cell death, a novel series of benzo[a]quinolizidine derivatives were synthesized, and their antiproliferative activity and ability to induce cytoplasmic vacuolation were analyzed. Structural optimization led to the identification of the potent compound 22b, which inhibited cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo and profoundly facilitated paraptosis-like cell death and induced caspase-dependent apoptosis. Further investigation revealed that 22b-mediated vacuolation originated from persistent ER stress and upregulation of LC3B. Paraptosis induced by benzo[a]quinolizidine derivatives thus represents an alternative strategy for cancer chemotherapy.

- Discovery of New Monocarbonyl Ligustrazine-Curcumin Hybrids for Intervention of Drug-Sensitive and Drug-Resistant Lung Cancer
-
The elevation of oxidative stress preferentially in cancer cells by inhibiting thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and/or enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production has emerged as an effective strategy for selectively targeting cancer cells. In this study, we designed and synthesized 21 ligustrazine-curcumin hybrids (10a-u). Biological evaluation indicated that the most active compound 10d significantly inhibited the proliferation of drug-sensitive (A549, SPC-A-1, LTEP-G-2) and drug-resistant (A549/DDP) lung cancer cells but had little effect on nontumor lung epithelial-like cells (HBE). Furthermore, 10d suppressed the TrxR/Trx system and promoted intracellular ROS accumulation and cancer cell apoptosis. Additionally, 10d inhibited the NF-κB, AKT, and ERK signaling, P-gp-mediated efflux of rhodamine 123, P-gp ATPase activity, and P-gp expression in A549/DDP cells. Finally, 10d repressed the growth of implanted human drug-resistant lung cancer in mice. Together, 10d acts a novel TrxR inhibitor and may be a promising candidate for intervention of lung cancer.

- Traceless OH-Directed Wacker Oxidation-Elimination, an Alternative to Wittig Olefination/Aldol Condensation: One-Pot Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated and Nonconjugated Ketones from Homoallyl Alcohols
-
A new method for one-pot synthesis of β-substituted and β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated methyl ketones from homoallyl alcohols by sequential PdCl2/CrO3-promoted Wacker process followed by an acid-mediated dehydration reaction has been developed. Remarkably, internal homoallyl alcohols delivered regioselectively nonconjugated unsaturated carbonyl compounds under the same protocol. A new starting material-based synthesis of α,β-unsaturated and nonconjugated methyl ketones is demonstrated.

- Dehydrozingerone Inspired Styryl Hydrazine Thiazole Hybrids as Promising Class of Antimycobacterial Agents
-
Series of styryl hydrazine thiazole hybrids inspired from dehydrozingerone (DZG) scaffold were designed and synthesized by molecular hybridization approach. In vitro antimycobacterial activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Among the series, compound 6o exhibited significant activity (MIC = 1.5 μM; IC50 = 0.48 μM) along with bactericidal (MBC = 12 μM) and intracellular antimycobacterial activities (IC50 = 0.098 μM). Furthermore, 6o displayed prominent antimycobacterial activity under hypoxic (MIC = 46 μM) and normal oxygen (MIC = 0.28 μM) conditions along with antimycobacterial efficiency against isoniazid (MIC = 3.2 μM for INH-R1; 1.5 μM for INH-R2) and rifampicin (MIC = 2.2 μM for RIF-R1; 6.3 μM for RIF-R2) resistant strains of Mtb. Presence of electron donating groups on the phenyl ring of thiazole moiety had positive correlation for biological activity, suggesting the importance of molecular hybridization approach for the development of newer DZG clubbed hydrazine thiazole hybrids as potential antimycobacterial agents.

- Synthesis of new ferrocenyl dehydrozingerone derivatives and their effects on viability of PC12 cells
-
A series of novel compounds deriving from the conjugation of ferrocene with curcumin-related bioactive molecules as dehydrozingerone, zingerone and their biphenyl dimers was prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of the suitable aromatic aldehydes and acetylferrocene in different conditions according to the starting material. The obtained compounds were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry and reversible electrochemical behavior was recorded for monomer derivatives. The cell viability of PC12 cells after exposure to the organometallic compounds was also evaluated and a reduced toxicity with respect to the ferrocene was detected. In comparison with biphenyl 4, a compound that manifested antiproliferative and apoptotic activities and was quite toxic on PC12 cells, the exposure to the ferrocenyl analogue 14 resulted in roughly fourfold increase in the cell viability. Ferrocenyl chalcones 14 and 16-18 significantly increased the oxidative stress generated by hydrogen peroxide, a molecule generally accumulated in cancer cells and, recently, studied as prodrug.

- Synthesis of unsymmetrical c5-curcuminoids as potential anticancer agents
-
Cancer and malaria are two major diseases, which have devastating effects on public health systems. In a quest of developing new anticancer and antimalarial agents, a series of 22 unsymmetrical C5-curcumionds was synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against HeLa, KB, PC3 and DU145 cancer cell lines. Out of these, four compounds displayed potent activity in HeLa cancer cell line (IC50 ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 μM) than standard FDA-approved drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 1.7 μM). They also showed weak to moderate activity against other cancer cell lines. Unsymmetrical C5-curcumionids were also evaluated for their antimalarial activity against CQ-sensitive and CQ-resistant strains of P. falciparum. Weak antimalarial activities were observed with some compounds without any toxicity towards the mammalian cell line at the highest tested concentration of 10 μM.

- Facile synthesis of Z -alkenes via uphill catalysis
-
Catalytic access to thermodynamically less stable Z-alkenes has recently received considerable attention. These approaches have relied upon kinetic control of the reaction to arrive at the thermodynamically less stable geometrical isomer. Herein, we present an orthogonal approach which proceeds via photochemically catalyzed isomerization of the thermodynamic E-alkene to the less stable Z-isomer which occurs via a photochemical pumping mechanism. We consider two potential mechanisms. Importantly, the reaction conditions are mild, tolerant, and operationally simple and will be easily implemented.

- Design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation against human cancer cells of 5-methyl-5-styryl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ones, a new series of goniothalamin analogues
-
The present work describes the preparation of a novel series of compounds based on the structure of goniothalamin (1), a natural styryl lactone with known cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities against a variety of cancer cell lines. A focused library of 17 goniothalamin analogues displaying the 5-methyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-one motif were prepared, and their cytotoxicity evaluated. While the analogues bearing methoxy and/or hydroxy groups on the aromatic moiety usually were at least three times less potent than the lead compound (1), ortho and para-trifluoromethyl analogues 10 and 11 exhibited levels of cytotoxicity similar to goniothalamin (1) against most cancer cell lines evaluated. One could suggest that the electronic effect of the trifluoromethyl group activates the inhibitor's electrophilic site via reduction of the electron density of the α,β-unsaturated ester oxygen atom. These results provide new information on the structure activity relationship of these α,β-unsaturated styryl lactones, thereby further focusing the design of novel candidates.

- Effect of phosphorus amount on the particle size and catalytic performance of heterogeneous nickel(ii) schiff-base complex in aldol condensation reaction
-
The organic-inorganic hybrid of citric acid, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), and triethylphosphate (TEP) doped by a nickel Schiff-base complex was prepared by sol-gel method. The prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). In order to determine the phosphorus amount effect on the catalytic activity of the prepared composites, the aldol condensation was used as a model reaction. The results revealed that the composite with 10% phosphorus is a better catalyst in comparison with other composites.

- Synthesis and neuroprotective effect of E-3,4-dihydroxy styryl aralkyl ketones derivatives against oxidative stress and inflammation
-
E-3,4-Dihydroxy styryl aralkyl ketones as well as their 3,4-diacetylated derivatives as the analogues of neuroprotective agent CAPE were designed and synthesized for improving stability and lipid solubility. The neuroprotective activities of target compounds 10a-g and 11a-g were tested by three models in vitro, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity, neuronal protecting effect against damage induced by H2O2 in PC12 cells and nitric oxide suppression effect in BV2 microglial cells. The results demonstrated that compounds 10f and 11f exhibited the most potent neuroprotective effect against oxidative stress and inflammation, which is higher than that of the lead compound CAPE.

- Small molecules interacting with α-synuclein: Antiaggregating and cytoprotective properties
-
Curcumin, a dietary polyphenol, has shown a potential to act on the symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as a consequence of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-protein aggregation properties. Unfortunately, curcumin undergoes rapid degradation at physiological pH into ferulic acid, vanillin and dehydrozingerone, making it an unlikely drug candidate. Here, we evaluated the ability of some curcumin by-products: dehydrozingerone (1), its O-methyl derivative (2), zingerone (3), and their biphenyl analogues (4-6) to interact with α-synuclein (AS), using CD and fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, the antioxidant properties and the cytoprotective effects in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells prior to intoxication with H2O 2, MPP+ and MnCl2 were examined while the Congo red assay was used to evaluate the ability of these compounds to prevent aggregation of AS. We found that the biphenyl zingerone analogue (6) interacts with high affinity with AS and also displays the best antioxidant properties while the biphenyl analogues of dehydrozingerone (4) and of O-methyl-dehydrozingerone (5) are able to partially inhibit the aggregation process of AS, suggesting the potential role of a hydroxylated biphenyl scaffold in the design of AS aggregation inhibitors.

- Lipase behavior in the stereoselective transesterification of zingerol-like derivatives and related biphenyls
-
Using a highly stereoselective enzymatic procedure based on the irreversible transesterification of alcoholic functions in organic solvent, both enantiomers of zingerol and dehydrozingerol O-methyl derivatives 1 and 2 were obtained in high optical purity. The biocatalytic method was then extended to the corresponding biphenyl derivatives 5-8 for which an one-pot resolution/desymmetrization was carried out on the whole racemic/meso mixtures to give single stereoisomers with very high enantiomeric and diastereoisomeric excesses. The comparison of kinetic and enantioselective behavior of the lipase AK from Pseudomonas fluorescens in the transesterification of monomer (±)-1 and the related (±)-5 and meso-6 biphenyl dimers was also made.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of hybrid molecules containing conjugated styryl ketone and α-bromoacryloyl moieties
-
There was a major interest in the last years in the design of anticancer agents containing the 1,5-diaryl-3-oxo-1,4-pentadienyl system. The modification of this pharmacophore by the introduction of an additional Michael acceptor represents a strategy to obtain novel potential antiproliferative agents. In a continuing study of hybrid compounds containing the α-bromoacryloyl moiety as potential anticancer drugs, we synthesized two novel series of hybrids 3a-i and 4a-i, in which this moiety was linked to the 1,5-diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one system. Many of the conjugates prepared (3b, 3c and 3g) demonstrated pronounced antiproliferative activity against five cancer cell lines, being more active than the reference compound Melphalan. Compounds 3e and 4b were also examined for their effects on the cell cycle progression of K562 cells. The detection of a sub-G1 peak upon incubation with these compounds suggested that 3e and 4b also exert their growth inhibiting effects by induction of apoptosis.

- Novel diarylheptanoids as inhibitors of TNF-α production

Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of novel diarylheptanoids [5-hydroxy-1-phenyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-heptan-3-ones and 1-phenyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl) hept-4-en-3-ones] as inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production is described in the present article. The key reactions involve the formation of a β-hydroxyketone by the reaction of substituted 4-phenyl butan-2-ones with pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde in presence of LDA and the subsequent dehydration of the same to obtain the α,β-unsaturated ketones. Compounds 4i, 5b, 5d, and 5g significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-α production from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in a dose-dependent manner. Of note, the in vitro TNF-α inhibition potential of 5b and 5d is comparable to that of curcumin (a naturally occurring diarylheptanoid). Most importantly, oral administration of 4i, 5b, 5d, and 5g (each at 100 mg/kg) but not curcumin (at 100 mg/kg) significantly inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production in BALB/c mice. Collectively, our findings indicate that these compounds may have potential therapeutic implications for TNF-α-mediated auto-immune/inflammatory disorders.

(Zingiberacea), were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicities against human colon cancer cell line HCT-116 to conclude the SAR of C5-curcuminoids for further development of their use in cancer chemotherapy: (1) Bis(arylmethylidene)acetone serves as a promising skeleton for eliciting cytotoxicity. (2) The 3-oxo-1,4-pentadiene structure is essential for eliciting cytotoxicity. (3) As for the extent of the aromatic substituents, hexasubstituted compounds exhibit strong activities, in which 3,4,5-hexasubstitution results in the highest potency. (5) The symmetry between two aryl rings is not an essential requirement for bis(arylmethylidene)acetones to elicit cytotoxicity. (6) para-Positions allows the installation of additional functional groups for use as molecular probes. By taking advantage of the SAR diagram, we have elaborated several advanced derivatives having GI50 of single-digit micromolar potencies that will function as molecular probes to target and/or report key biomolecules interacting with curcumin and C5-curcumin.

- Antitumor agents. 250. Design and synthesis of new curcumin analogues as potential anti-prostate cancer agents
-
In a continuing study of curcumin analogues as potential drug candidates to treat prostate cancer at both androgen-dependent and androgen-refractory stages, we designed and synthesized over 40 new analogues classified into four series: monophenyl analogues (series A), heterocycle-containing analogues (series B), analogues bearing various substituents on the phenyl rings (series C), and analogues with various linkers (series D). These new compounds were tested for cytotoxicity against two human prostate cancer cell lines, androgen-dependent LNCaP and androgen-independent PC-3. Antiandrogenic activity was also evaluated in LNCaP cells and PC-3 cells transfected with wild-type androgen receptor. Ten compounds possessed potent cytotoxicity against both LNCaP and PC-3 cells, seven only against LNCaP, and one solely against PC-3. This study established an advanced structure-activity relationship (SAR), and these correlations will guide the further design of new curcumin analogues with better anti-prostate cancer activity.

Except for isoeugenol analogues 27-35, most compounds exhibited moderate or strong cytotoxic activity against KB, KB-VCR (a multidrug-resistant derivative), and A549 cell lines. In particular, chalcone 15 showed significant cytotoxic activity against the A549 cell line with an IC50 value of 0.6 μg/mL. Furthermore, dehydrozingerone analogue 11 and chalcones 16 and 17 showed significant and similar cytotoxic activity against both KB (IC50 values of 2.0, 1.0, and 2.0 μg/mL, respectively) and KB-VCR (IC50 values of 1.9, 1.0, and 2.0 μ/mL, respectively) cells, suggesting that they are not substrates for the P-glycoprotein drug efflux pump.
