- Vinylogous Aza-Michael Addition of Urea Derivatives with p-Quinone Methides Followed by Oxidative Dearomative Cyclization: Approach to Spiroimidazolidinone Derivatives
-
Herein, we report an efficient protocol for the synthesis of spiro-imidazolidinone-cyclohexadienones from p-quinone methides (p-QMs) and dialkyloxy ureas under mild conditions. The strategy follows a two-step process involving an initial vinylogous conjugate addition of urea derivatives to p-QMs, followed by oxidative dearomative cyclization of open-chain product to the projected spiro-imidazolidinones. This protocol exhibits good functional group tolerance and provides a straightforward method to access spiro-imidazolidinone-cyclohexadienones. In follow-up chemistry, we have shown the debenzylation of spiroimidazolidinones to give N-hydroxycyclic ureas. (Figure presented.).

- O-alkylhydroxylamines as rationally-designed mechanism-based inhibitors of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1
-
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, chronic viral infections, and other diseases characterized by pathological immune suppression. Recently important advances have been made in understanding IDO1's catalytic mechanism. Although much remains to be discovered, there is strong evidence that the mechanism proceeds through a heme-iron bound alkylperoxy transition or intermediate state. Accordingly, we explored stable structural mimics of the alkylperoxy species and provide evidence that such structures do mimic the alkylperoxy transition or intermediate state. We discovered that O-benzylhydroxylamine, a commercially available compound, is a potent sub-micromolar inhibitor of IDO1. Structure-activity studies of over forty derivatives of O-benzylhydroxylamine led to further improvement in inhibitor potency, particularly with the addition of halogen atoms to the meta position of the aromatic ring. The most potent derivatives and the lead, O-benzylhydroxylamine, have high ligand efficiency values, which are considered an important criterion for successful drug development. Notably, two of the most potent compounds demonstrated nanomolar-level cell-based potency and limited toxicity. The combination of the simplicity of the structures of these compounds and their excellent cellular activity makes them quite attractive for biological exploration of IDO1 function and antitumor therapeutic applications.

- Transformation of masked benzyl alcohols to: O -aminobenzaldehydes through C-H activation: A facile approach to quinazolines
-
Direct transformation of a directing group to important synthetic units would provide a high atom efficiency synthetic approach in synthetic chemistry. Herein, a convenient protocol for the synthesis of o-aminobenzaldehyde and benzoxazole derivatives from benzyl alcohols has been developed by employing (N,N-dimethyl)oxamoyl amide as a directing group in a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular amination. Furthermore, the attached directing center may not only be transformed into the product, but may also be further applied to generate synthetically important quinazoline and quinoline units. Finally, a high atom efficiency one-pot, two-step approach to form quinazolines from benzyl alcohol derivatives has been achieved in good yields, thus demonstrating its high utility.

- Synthesis, in vitro antimycobacterial and antibacterial evaluation of IMB-070593 derivatives containing a substituted benzyloxime moiety
-
A series of novel IMB-070593 derivatives containing a substituted benzyloxime moiety and displaying a remarkable improvement in lipophilicity were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antimycobacterial and antibacterial activity. Our results reveal that the target compounds 19a-m have considerable Gram-positive activity (MIC: 0.008-32 μg/mL), although they are generally less active than the reference drugs against the Gram-negative strains. In particular, compounds 19h, 19j, 19k and 19m show good activity (MICs: 0.008-4 μg/mL) against all of the tested Gram-positive strains, including ciprofloxacin (CPFX)- and/or levofloxacin (LVFX)-resistant MSSA, MRSA and MSSE. Moreover, compound 19l (MIC: 0.125 μg/mL) is found to be 2-4 fold more active than the parent IMB070593, CPFX and LVFX against M. tuberculosis H37Rv ATCC 27294.

- Design, synthesis and antifungal activities of novel pyrrole alkaloid analogs
-
A series of novel analogs of pyrrole alkaloid were designed and synthesized by a facile method and their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The structure of compound 2a was identified by 2D NMR including heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) and H-H correlation spectrometry (H-H COSY) spectra. Their antifungal activities against five fungi were evaluated, and the results indicated that some of the title compounds showed moderate fungicidal activities in vitro against Alternaria solani, Cercospora arachidicola, Fusarium omysporum, Gibberella zeae and Physalospora piricola at the dosage of 50 μg mL -1. Compound 2a and 3a exhibited good activities against P. piricola at low dosage.

- Synthesis and fungicidal activity of macrolactams and macrolactones with an oxime ether side chain
-
Three series of novel macrolactams and macrolactones - 12-alkoxyimino- tetradecanlactam, 12-alkoxyiminopentadecanlactam, and 12-alkoxyiminodecanlactone derivatives (7A, 7B, and 7C) - were synthesized from corresponding 12-oxomacrolactams and 12-oxomacrolactone. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The Z and E isomers of 7A and 7B were separated, and their configurations were determined by 1H NMR. These compounds showed fair to excellent fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani Kuehn. It is interesting that the Z and E isomers of most of the compounds have quite different fungicidal activities. The fact that the compounds have a gradual increase of fungicidal activity in the order of 7A, 7C, and 7B indicated that the macrocyclic derivatives with a hydrogen-bonding acceptor (=N-O-) and a hydrogen-bonding donor (-CONH-) on the ring, and a three methylenes distance (CH2CH2CH2) between these two functional groups, exhibited the best fungicidal activity. The bioassay also showed that 7B not only has good fungicidal activity but also may have a broad spectrum of fungicidal activities.
