- A Common, Facile and Eco-Friendly Method for the Reduction of Nitroarenes, Selective Reduction of Poly-Nitroarenes and Deoxygenation of N-Oxide Containing Heteroarenes Using Elemental Sulfur
-
A transition metal-free, environment-friendly and practical protocol was developed either for the reduction of nitroarenes or for the deoxygenation of N-oxide containing heteroarenes. The reaction proceeded with the use of a non-toxic and cheap feedstock as elemental sulfur in aqueous methanol under relatively mild conditions. Green chemistry credentials were widely favorable compared to traditional and industrial protocols with good E-factors and a low production of waste. The strategy allowed the efficient reduction of a large variety of substituted-nitroarenes including various o-nitroanilines as well as selective reduction of various poly-nitroarenes in excellent yields with a broad substrate scope. The protocol was successfully extended to the deoxygenation of some N-oxide containing heteroarenes, like benzofuroxans, phenazine N,N'-dioxides, pyridine N-oxides, 2H-indazole N1-oxides, quinoxaline N1,N4-dioxides and benzo[d]imidazole N1,N3-dioxides. A gram-scale example for the synthesis of luminol, in green conditions, was reported. A solid mechanism of reaction was proposed from experimental evidences.

- Mild and efficient addition of carbon nucleophiles to condensed pyridines: influence of structure and limits of applicability
-
[Figure not available: see fulltext.] A number of azolo- and azinopyridines with varying substituents and annulated heterocycles were synthesized and examined in dearomatization reactions with carbon nucleophiles. Depending on the structure, the resulting covalent σ-adducts were formed either under basefree conditions or in Et3N-promoted process to give functionalized condensed dihydropyridines. Quantum-chemical calculations of the global electrophilicity index derived from FMO energies of azolopyridine series were performed to explain reactivity toward neutral and anionic C-nucleophiles. These values may be useful for qualitative prediction of particular reactivity pattern.

- Design, synthesis and characterization of indole based anion sensing receptors
-
The design and synthesis of six new receptors (R1-R6) and their anion sensing properties through multiple channels are reported. These receptors are constructed in such a way that they possess indole groups as the binding sites and different acceptors units of varying electron acceptor strengths. Receptors R1, R3 and R5 could recognize fluoride ions visually and spectroscopically with high selectivity over other anions in DMF, which was demonstrated by a visual detection experiment and UV-Vis, fluorescence and 1H NMR spectral studies. The remaining three receptors (R2, R4 and R6) exhibited colour changes with both fluoride and cyanide ions. The binding constants for fluoride binding by these receptors were determined to be in the order of 104 to 106 M-1 and found to depend on the electron accepting property of the acceptor unit in the intra molecular charge transfer (ICT) transition existing with the indole donor units. 1H NMR titration experiments not only provide evidence for the existence of H-bonding interactions between the indolic N-H groups of these receptors and F-, but also offer key insight into the strengths of the receptor-anion complexes of stoichiometry 1:2. The higher fluoride binding ability of the receptor containing the naphthoquinone signalling unit has been interpreted in terms of the greater electron deficiency of the acceptor unit (quinone) and enhanced H-bond donating character of the indole N-H group. The results of the electrochemical and DFT computation studies corroborate well with the spectroscopic studies.

- Molecular design, synthesis, and hypoglycemic activity of a series of thiazolidine-2,4-diones
-
A series of imidazopyridine thiazolidine-2,4-diones were designed and synthesized from their corresponding pyridines. These compounds represent conformationally restricted analogues of the novel hypoglycemic compound rosiglitazone (5). The series was evaluated for its effect on insulin-induced 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation in vitro and its hypoglycemic activity in the genetically diabetic KK mouse in vivo. The structure-activity relationships are discussed. On the basis of the in vivo potency, 5-[4-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)ben zyl]thiazolidine-2,4-dione (19a) was selected as the candidate for further studies in a clinical setting.

- 5-(N-oxyaza)-7-substituted-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones: Novel, systemically active and broad spectrum antagonists for NMDA/glycine, AMPA, and kainate receptors
-
A group of 5-aza-7-substituted-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones (QXs) and the corresponding 5-(N. oxyaza)-7-substituted QXs were prepared and evaluated as antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptors. The in vitro potency of these QXs was determined by inhibition of [3H]-5,7- dichlorokynurenic acid ([3H]DCKA) binding to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)/glycine receptors, [3H]-(S)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4- isoxazolepropionic acid ([3H]AMPA) binding to AMPA receptors, and [3H]kainate ([3H]KA) binding to KA receptors in rat brain membranes. 5-(N- Oxyaza)-QXs 12a-e all have low micromolar or submicromolar potency for NMDA/glycine receptors and low micromolar potencies for AMPA and KA receptors. QXs 12a-e display 2-12-fold selectivity for NMDA/glycine receptors compared to AMPA receptors, and ~2-fold difference between AMPA and KA potency. In contrast to other QXs that either show high selectivity for NMDA (such as ACEA 1021) or AMPA (such as NBQX) receptors, these molecules are broad spectrum antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptors. 7-Nitro-5-(N- axyaza)-QX (12e) is the most potent inhibitor among 12a-e, having IC50 values of 0.69, 1.3, and 2.4 μM at NMDA, AMPA, and KA receptors, respectively. In functional assays on glutamate receptors expressed in oocytes by rat cerebral cortex poly(A+) RNA, 7-chloro-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12a) and 7-nitro-5(N-oxyaza)-QX (12e) have K(b) values of 0.63 and 0.31 μM for NMDA/glycine receptors, and are 6- and 4-fold selective for NMDA over AMPA receptors, respectively. 5-(N-Oxyaza)-7-substituted-QXs 12a-e all have surprisingly high in vivo potency as anticonvulsants in a mouse maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES) model. 7-Chloro-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12a), 7- bromo-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12b), and 7-methyl-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12c) have ED50 values of 0.82, 0.87, and 0.97 mg/kg iv, respectively. The high in vivo potency of QXs 12a-e is particularly surprising given their low log P values (~ -2.7). Separate studies indicate that QXs 12a and 12e are also active in vive as neuroprotectants and also have antinociceptive activity in animal pain models. In terms of in vivo activity, these 5-(N-oxyaza)-7-substituted- QXs are among the most potent broad spectrum ionotropic glutamate antagonists reported.
