- Chasing ChEs-MAO B Multi-Targeting 4-Aminomethyl-7-Benzyloxy-2H-Chromen-2-ones
-
A series of 4-aminomethyl-7-benzyloxy-2H-chromen-2-ones was investigated with the aim of identifying multiple inhibitors of cholinesterases (acetyl- and butyryl-, AChE and BChE) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO B) as potential anti-Alzheimer molecules. Starting from a previously reported potent MAO B inhibitor (3), we studied single-point modifications at the benzyloxy or at the basic moiety. The in vitro screening highlighted triple-acting compounds (6, 8, 9, 16, 20) showing nanomolar and selective MAO B inhibition along with IC50 against ChEs at the low micromolar level. Enzyme kinetics analysis toward AChE and docking simulations on the target enzymes were run in order to get insight into the mechanism of action and plausible binding modes.

-
Substituted sulfonated coumarins are expressed in the general formula (I), where: R1 is H, OH, or a substituted or unsubstituted, straight or branched C1-C6 alkyl radical, or —COR4, or —COOR4, or —CONHR4, R2 is H or a halogen, in particular fluorine, or a substituted or unsubstituted, straight or branched C1-C6 alkyl radical, or —COR4, or —COOR4, or —CONHR4, R1 and R2 being capable of together forming a ring, such as a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or furane, R3 is H or a halogen, in particular fluorine, or a substituted or unsubstituted, straight or branched C1-C6 alkyl radical, or —COR4, or —COOR4, or —CONHR4, where R4 is H, or a substituted or unsubstituted, straight or branched C1-C6 alkyl radical, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and M is Na or K.

- Discovery, biological evaluation, and structure-activity and -selectivity relationships of 6′-substituted (E)-2-(benzofuran-3(2H)-ylidene)-N- methylacetamides, a novel class of potent and selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors
-
The use of selective inhibitors of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and B (MAO-B) holds a therapeutic relevance in the treatment of depressive disorders and Parkinson's disease (PD), respectively. Here, the discovery of a new class of compounds acting as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-Is) and bearing a 6′-substituted (E)-2-(benzofuran-3(2H)-ylidene)-N-alkylacetamide skeleton is reported. 6′-Sulfonyloxy derivatives exhibited outstanding affinities to MAO-A (7.0 nM 50 49 nM, much higher than moclobemide) and a pronounced MAO-A/B selectivity. The corresponding 6′-benzyloxy derivatives showed potent MAO-B inhibition and inverted selectivity profile. The rigid E-geometry of the exocyclic double bond allowed a more efficient binding conformation compared to more flexible and less active 2-(1-benzofuran-3-yl)-N- methylacetamide isomers and 4-N-methylcarboxamidomethylcoumarin analogues. Focused structural modifications and docking simulations enabled the identification of key molecular determinants for high affinity toward both MAO isoforms. These novel MAO-Is may represent promising hits for the development of safer therapeutic agents with a potential against depression, PD, and other age-related neurodegenerative pathologies.

- α-Glucosidase inhibitory antihyperglycemic activity of substituted chromenone derivatives
-
Series of 3,4- and 3,6-disubstituted chromenones including new chromenone derivatives were synthesized applying various synthetic strategies including Pechmann condensation, Knoevenagel condensation, Reimer-Tiemann reaction and Suzuki coupling in very good yields. Synthesized compounds (4a-z) were screened for in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activities. Majority of compounds displayed varying degrees of α-glucosidase inhibitory and DPPH scavenging activity. Compound 4x emerged as the most potent α-glucosidase inhibitor in present series of compounds owing to the presence of 3-acetyl-6-(6-methoxy-3-pyridyl) group on chromenone; however, it could not display DPPH scavenging activity and was found to be mixed non-competitive type inhibitor of rat intestinal α-glucosidase. When tested in vivo for antihyperglycemic activity in starch loaded Wistar rats, it displayed significant antihyperglycemic property. This is the first report assigning rat intestinal α-glucosidase inhibitory property for this class of new chromenones and presents new family of compounds possessing α-glucosidase inhibitory activities and antihyperglycemic property. Compound 4x may serve as an interesting new compound for the development of therapeutics targeted against diet-induced hyperglycemia in diabetes.

- An efficient ZrCl4 catalyzed one-pot solvent free protocol for the synthesis of 4-substituted coumarins
-
A versatile and efficient route to 4-substituted coumarins via a Pechmann reaction using ZrCl4 as the catalyst (10 mol %) is described. This method provides several advantages over alternative procedures such as mild, solvent-free conditions at ambient temperature, and direct isolation of the products in high yields.

Two series of aminosubstituted coumarins were synthesised and evaluated in vitro as inhibitors of DNA gyrase and as potential antibacterials. Novel novobiocin-like coumarins, 4-(dialkylamino)-methylcoumarins and 4-((2-alkylamino)ethoxy)coumarins, were discovered as gyrase B inhibitors with promising antibacterial activity in vitro.

- A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF BENZOFURAN-3-ACETIC ACIDS
-
We describe a two-step synthesis of benzofuran-3-acetic acids (1) from phenols (2) involving alkali-mediated rearrangement of 4-halomethylcoumarins (3) via α,β-unsaturated acids (4).Electron-donating substituents at the meta position of the phenol favour high yields of the coumarin, which in all cases rearranges to afford benzofuran-3-acetic acids in near quantitative yields.
