- Search for a 5-CT alternative. In vitro and in vivo evaluation of novel pharmacological tools: 3-(1-alkyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-1H-indole-5-carboxamides, low-basicity 5-HT7 receptor agonists
-
Close structural analogues of 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) based on the newly discovered indole-imidazole scaffold were synthesized and evaluated to search for a 5-HT7 receptor agonist of higher selectivity. In vitro drug-likeness studies and in vivo pharmacological evaluation of potent and selective low-basicity 5-HT7 receptor agonists, previously published 7 (3-(1-ethyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-1H-indole-5-carboxamide, AH-494) and 13 (3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-1H-indole-5-carboxamide), have supported their usefulness as pharmacological tools. Comprehensive in vitro comparison studies between 7, 13 and the commonly used 5-CT showed their very similar ADMET properties. Compound 7 at 1 mg kg?1 reversed MK-801-induced disruption in novel object recognition in mice and alleviated stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) at high doses. Taking into account both in vitro and in vivo data, 7 and 13 may be considered as alternatives to 5-CT as pharmacological tools with important additional benefit associated with their low-basicity: high selectivity over 5-HT1AR.

- Triphenylphosphine/1,2-Diiodoethane-Promoted Formylation of Indoles with N, N -Dimethylformamide
-
Despite intensive studies on the synthesis of 3-formylindoles, it is still highly desirable to develop efficient methods for the formylation of indoles, due to the shortcomings of the reported methods, such as inconvenient operations and/or harsh reaction conditions. Here, we describe a Ph3P/ICH2CH2I-promoted formylation of indoles with DMF under mild conditions. A Vilsmeier-type intermediate is readily formed from DMF promoted by the Ph3P/ICH2CH2I system. A onestep formylation process can be applied to various electron-rich indoles, but a hydrolysis needs to be carried out as a second step in the case of electron-deficient indoles. Convenient operations make this protocol attractive.

- Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel 3-Aminomethylindole Derivatives as Potential Multifunctional Anti-Inflammatory and Neurotrophic Agents
-
The development of multifunctional molecules that are able to simultaneously interact with several pathological components has been considered as a solution to treat the complex pathologies of neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, a series of aminomethylindole derivatives were synthesized, and evaluation of their application for antineuroinflammation and promoting neurite outgrowth was disclosed. Our initial screening showed that most of the compounds potently inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated production of NO in microglial cells and potentiated the action of NGF to promote neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells. Interestingly, with outstanding NO/TNF-α production inhibition and neurite outgrowth-promoting activities, compounds 8c and 8g were capable of rescuing cells after injury by H2O2. Their antineuroinflammatory effects were associated with the downregulation of the LPS-induced expression of the inflammatory mediators inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Western blotting and immunofluorescence assay results indicated that the mechanism of their antineuroinflammatory actions involved suppression of the MAPK/NF-κB signal pathways. Further studies revealed that another important reason for the high comprehensive antineuroinflammatory activity was the anti-COX-2 capabilities of the compounds. All these results suggest that the potential biochemical multifunctional profiles of the aminomethylindole derivatives provide a new sight for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

- Access to Polycyclic Thienoindolines via Formal [2+2+1] Cyclization of Alkynyl Indoles with S8and K2S
-
The syntheses of polycyclic thienoindolines bearing a dihydrothiophene or tetrahydrothiophene subunit have not been reported, despite the fact that such compounds may have interesting medicinal properties. Herein, we report a protocol for accessing polycyclic dihydrothiophenes by means of formal [2+2+1] intramolecular dearomatizing cyclization of alkynyl indoles with K2S and S8 as the sources of sulfide. In addition, tetrahydrothienoindolines were stereoselectively synthesized via a one-pot, two-step protocol involving AgNO3-catalyzed alkenyl dearomatization followed by two nucleophilic addition reactions involving K2S.

- Molecular iodine mediated oxidative cleavage of the C-N bond of aryl and heteroaryl (dimethylamino)methyl groups into aldehydes
-
The oxidative cleavage of the C-N bond of aryl and heteroaryl (dimethylamino)methyl groups is achieved by employing molecular iodine as a mild oxidizing agent under ambient conditions in the presence of a mild base. The important reaction of C3 formylation of free NH and substituted indoles containing various substituents is accomplished from the corresponding Mannich bases. This methodology can also be extended for the synthesis of aryl and other heteroaryl aldehydes and ketones. Furthermore, the usefulness of the method is successfully demonstrated on a gram scale.

- C3-Formylation of Indoles in Continuous Flow
-
We have developed a continuous flow C3-formylation technique for indoles using hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) and iodine. A mixed solvent system of DMF–H2O (1:1, vol/vol) completely dissolves reagents and prevents clogging of microchannels during fluid flow. The continuous flow technique provides maximized mixing and excellent heat transfer efficiency. Thus, flow chemistry accelerates the rate of C3-formylation of indoles in the absence of a strong acid, base, or metal catalyst. We show that high yields of C3-formylated indoles (up to 83%) can be obtained at 150°C when the residence time is as low as 8 min.

-
To find more potent antifungal compounds, twenty 3-acylindole analogs were synthesized and bio-evaluated for their antifungal activities against seven phytopathogenic fungi. Structure-activity relationships investigations revealed that 4- or 6-methyl and 3-acetyl or propionyl groups were the important structural properties of 3-acylindoles for the activities. Especially 4-methyl-3-propionylindole, 12, displayed the more potent activities than hymexazol, a commercially available agricultural fungicide, and might be considered as a new promising lead candidate for further design and synthesis of agricultural fungicides.

- 1,2,3-Thiadiazole substituted pyrazolones as potent KDR/VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitors
-
KDR kinase inhibition is considered to play an important role in regulating angiogenesis, which is vital for the survival and proliferation of tumor cells. Recently we disclosed a structure-based kinase inhibitor design strategy which led to the identification of a new class of VEGFR-2/KDR kinase inhibitors bearing heterocyclic substituted pyrazolones as the core template. Instability in a rat S9 preparation and poor iv PK profiles for most of these inhibitors necessitated exploration of new pyrazolones to identify new analogs with improved metabolic stability. Optimization of the heterocyclic moiety led to the identification of the thiadiazole series of pyrazolones (D) as potent VEGFR-2/KDR kinase inhibitors. SAR modifications, kinase selectivity profiling, and structural elements for improved PK properties were explored. Oral bioavailability up to 29% was achieved in the rat. Modeling results based on the Glide XP docking approach supported our postulation regarding the interaction of the lactam segment of the pyrazolones with the hinge region of the KDR kinase.
