- Synthesis of lithium/cesium-Zagronas from zagrosian natural asphalt and study of their activity as novel, green, heterogeneous and homogeneous nanocatalysts in the Claisen–Schmidt and Knoevenagel condensations
-
A novel, heterogeneous and homogeneous basic nanocatalysts were synthesized by grafting of lithium and cesium on zagrosian natural asphalt sulfonate (Li/Cs-Zagronas). The activity of these catalysts was examined in the Claisen–Schmidt and Knoevenagel condensations under mild reaction conditions. Li/Cs-Zagronas were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. These nanocatalysts were removed by simple filtration and reused several times without any deterioration of activity.

- Novel potent and selective DPP-4 inhibitors: Design, synthesis and molecular docking study of dihydropyrimidine phthalimide hybrids
-
Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have emerged as antihyperglycemic agents that improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients, either as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic drugs. Methods: A novel series of dihydropyrimidine phthalimide hybrids was synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo DPP-4 inhibition activity and selectivity using alogliptin as reference. Oral glucose tolerance test was assessed in type 2 diabetic rats after chronic treatment with the synthesized hybrids ± metformin. Cytotoxicity and antioxidant assays were performed. Additionally, molecular docking study with DPP-4 and structure activity relationship of the novel hybrids were also studied. Results: Among the synthesized hybrids, 10g, 10i, 10e, 10d and 10b had stronger in vitro DPP-4 inhibitory activity than alogliptin. Moreover, an in vivo DPP-4 inhibition assay revealed that 10g and 10i have the strongest and the most extended blood DPP-4 inhibitory activity compared to alogliptin. In type 2 diabetic rats, hybrids 10g, 10i and 10e exhibited better glycemic control than alogliptin, an effect that further supported by metformin combination. Finally, 10j, 10e, 10h and 10d had the highest radical scavenging activity in DPPH assay. Conclusions: Hybrids 10g, 10i and 10e are potent DPP-4 inhibitors which may be beneficial for T2DM treatment.

- Bu4NHSO4-Catalyzed Direct N-Allylation of Pyrazole and its Derivatives with Allylic Alcohols in Water: A Metal-Free, Recyclable and Sustainable System
-
Allylic amines are valuable and functional building blocks. Direct N-allylation of pyrazole and its derivatives as an atom economic strategy to provide allylic amines has been achieved only using commercial Bu4NHSO4 as the metal-free catalyst and water as the solvent without any additives. 11–93% isolated yields were obtained for the N-allylation of pyrazole and its derivatives with allylic alcohols. Bu4NHSO4 could be reused for six times by simple extraction nearly without loss of catalytic activity and was also suitable for a gram-scale production. The reaction of allylic ether and pyrazole did not occur to give the desired product indicated that allylic ether was not the active intermediate in the pathway. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that there are hydrogen bonding effects among substrates, solvent and catalyst, especially the one formed between allylic alcohol and H2O. Control experiments in different protic solvents further demonstrate the intermolecular hydrogen bonding of allylic alcohol and water. (Figure presented.).

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of 2,4,6-substituted pyrimidine derivatives as BACE-1 inhibitor: Plausible lead for alzheimer’s disease
-
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorder afflicting a large mass of population. BACE-1 (β-secretase) is an aspartyl protease of the amyloidogenic pathway considered responsible for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since it catalyzes the rate-limiting step of Aβ-42 production from amyloid precursor protein (APP), its inhibition is considered a viable thera-peutic strategy. We have reported the design of small molecular weight compounds supposed to be blood brain permeable as BACE-1 inhibitors. The clue for the design of this series is drawn from the previously designed series from our research group. Objective: Design and synthesis of 2,4,6-substituted pyrimidine derivatives has been reported. In vitro FRET-based screening of synthesized derivatives was performed to evaluate the BACE-1 inhibition profile. Methods: Based on the docking simulation studies, a library of derivatives was designed, synthesized and evaluated for BACE-1 inhibition in-vitro. The docking studies were performed on Glide (Schrodinger suite) and Molegro virtual docker. Theoretical toxicity was predicted using Osiris Property Explorer. The synthesized compounds were tested for BACE-1 inhibition using in vitro assay based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer technique. The percent inhibition was cal-culated as a measure of activity. Results: The designed compounds revealed strong interactions with the desired amino acids of BACE-1 active sites. The aromatic rings placed at the fourth and sixth position of the pyrimidine ring occupied S1 and S3 substrate-binding clefts while the amino group formed hydrogen bonding interactions with Asp32 and Asp228. In silico data ensured that the compounds were orally bioavailable and brain permeable. The in vitro testing showed that the compounds inhibited BACE-1 at 10μM concentration. Conclusion: Compounds substituted with m-benzyloxy on one aromatic ring and o,p-di-chloro on another aromatic ring displayed maximum BACE-1 inhibition. Compound 2.13A displayed high docking score and was found to be most potent with IC50 of 6.92μM. The series displayed a good correlation between the docking score and BACE-1 inhibition profile.

- A Remote ‘Imidazole’-Based Ruthenium(II) Para-Cymene Pre-catalyst for the Selective Oxidation Reaction of Alkyl Arenes and Alcohols

Herein we disclosed the use of a remote ‘imidazole’-based precatalyst [(para-cymene)RuII(L)Cl]+, C-1 where L=2-(4-substituted-phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline) for the selective oxidation of a variety of alkyl arenes/heteroarenes and alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes or ketones in presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The remote ‘imidazole’ moiety present in the complex facilitates the activation of oxidant and subsequent generation of active species via the release of para-cymene from C-1, which in-turn was less effective without the ‘imidazole’ moiety. The mechanistic features of C-1 promoted oxidation of alkyl arenes were also assessed from spectroscopic, kinetic, and few control experiments. The substrate scope for C-1 promoted oxidation reaction was assessed based on the selective oxidation of 27-different alkyl arenes/heteroarenes and 25 different alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes/ketones in moderate to good yields.

- Synthesis, molecular docking and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity study of 2,4,6-triaryl pyrimidine derivatives
-
Background: α-Glucosidase inhibitors hinder the carbohydrate digestion and play an important role in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. α-glucosidase inhibitors available on the market are acarbose, miglitol, and voglibose. However, the use of acarbose is diminishing due to related side effects like diarrhea, bloating and abdominal distension. Objectives: This study aimed to synthesize 2,4,6-triaryl pyrimidines derivatives, screen their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, perform kinetic and molecular docking studies. Methods: A series of 2,4,6-triaryl pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was screened in vitro. Pyrimidine derivatives 4a-m were synthesized via a two-step reaction with a yield between 49 and 93%. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by different spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR and MS). The in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition activities of the synthesized compounds 4a-m was also evaluated against Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase. Results and Discussion: The majority of synthesized compounds had α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Particularly compounds 4b and 4g were the most active compounds with an IC50 value of 125.2± 7.2 and 139.8 ± 8.1 μM respectively. The kinetic study performed for the most active compound 4b revealed that the compound was a competitive inhibitor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase with Ki of 122 μM. The molecular docking study also revealed that the two compounds have important binding interactions with the enzyme active site. Conclusion: 2,4,6-triarylpyrimidine derivative 4a-m were synthesized and screened for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Most of the synthesized compounds possess α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and compound 4b demonstrated the most significant inhibitory action as compared to acarbose.

- Rh(II)-Catalyzed Nitrene-Transfer [5 + 1] Cycloadditions of Aryl-Substituted Vinylcyclopropanes

Formal [5 + 1] cycloadditions between aryl-substituted vinylcyclopropanes and nitrenoid precursors are reported. The method, which employs Rh2(esp)2 as a catalyst, leads to the highly regioselective formation of substituted tetrahydropyridines. Preliminary mechanistic studies support a stepwise, polar mechanism enabled by the previously observed Lewis acidity of Rh-nitrenoids. Overall, this work expands the application of nitrene-transfer cycloaddition, a relatively underexplored approach to heterocycle synthesis, to the formation of six-membered rings.

-
Domino-fluorination-protodefluorination decarboxylative cross-coupling of α-keto acids with styrene has been developed via photoredox catalysis. The critical part of this strategy is the formation of the carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond by the capture of a carbon-centered radical intermediate, which will overcome side reactions during the styrene radical functionalization process. Experimental studies have provided evidence indicating a domino-fluorination-protodefluorination pathway with α-keto acid initiating the photoredox cycle. The present catalytic protocol also affords a novel approach for the construction of α,β-unsaturated ketones under mild conditions.

- Co-N-C Catalyst for C-C Coupling Reactions: On the Catalytic Performance and Active Sites
-
C-C bond-forming reactions are important in chemistry for construction of complex large molecules from readily available simple substrates. However, they usually involve the employment of organic halides and suffer from toxic or environmental issues. We report an efficient and environmentally benign methodology-aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of primary and secondary alcohols-to directly produce α,β-unsaturated ketones that are key intermediates for synthesis of agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and other fine chemicals. A noble-metal-free Co-N-C catalyst, derived from pyrolysis of cobalt-phenanthroline complexes on a mesoporous carbon support, is developed toward the target reactions and shows high catalytic activity (turnover frequency of 3.8 s-1 based on Co single atoms, surpassing the state of art in the literature), good recyclability, and wide applicability to diverse substrates (28 examples). The active sites in the Co-N-C catalyst are proposed to be Co single atoms bonded with N within graphitic sheets.

- Antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of substituted chalcones focusing on an anti-tuberculosis dual treatment approach
-
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious public health problem aggravated by the emergence of M. tuberculosis (Mtb) strains resistant to multiple drugs (MDR). Delay in TB treatment, common in the MDR-TB cases, can lead to deleterious life-threatening inflammation in susceptible hyper-reactive individuals, encouraging the discovery of new anti-Mtb drugs and the use of adjunctive therapy based on anti-inflammatory interventions. In this study, a series of forty synthetic chalcones was evaluated in vitro for their anti-inflammatory and antimycobacterial properties and in silico for pharmacokinetic parameters. Seven compounds strongly inhibited NO and PGE2 production by LPS-stimulated macrophages through the specific inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 expression, respectively, with compounds 4 and 5 standing out in this respect. Four of the seven most active compounds were able to inhibit production of TNF-α and IL-1β. Chalcones that were not toxic to cultured macrophages were tested for antimycobacterial activity. Eight compounds were able to inhibit growth of the M. bovis BCG and Mtb H37Rv strains in bacterial cultures and in infected macrophages. Four of them, including compounds 4 and 5, were active against a hypervirulent clinical Mtb isolate as well. In silico analysis of ADMET properties showed that the evaluated chalcones displayed satisfactory pharmacokinetic parameters. In conclusion, the obtained data demonstrate that at least two of the studied chalcones, compounds 4 and 5, are promising antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory agents, especially focusing on an anti-tuberculosis dual treatment approach.

- Chalcones with electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents: Anticancer activity against TRAIL resistant cancer cells, structure-activity relationship analysis and regulation of apoptotic proteins
-
In the present study, a series of 46 chalcones were synthesised and evaluated for antiproliferative activities against the human TRAIL-resistant breast (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231), cervical (HeLa), ovarian (Caov-3), lung (A549), liver (HepG2), colorectal (HT-29), nasopharyngeal (CNE-1), erythromyeloblastoid (K-562) and T-lymphoblastoid (CEM-SS) cancer cells. The chalcone 38 containing an amino (-NH2) group on ring A was the most potent and selective against cancer cells. The effects of the chalcone 38 on regulation of 43 apoptosis-related markers in HT-29 cells were determined. The results showed that 20 apoptotic markers (Bad, Bax, Bcl-2, Bcl-w, Bid, Bim, CD40, Fas, HSP27, IGF-1, IGFBP-4, IGFBP-5, Livin, p21, Survivin, sTNF-R2, TRAIL-R2, XIAP, caspase-3 and caspase-8) were either up regulated or down regulated.

- One-pot synthesis of chalcone epoxides - A green chemistry strategy
-
Waste minimization is a very important aspect of an environmentally benign protocol. A one-pot consecutive process has been developed for chalcone epoxide synthesis that allows compounds to be prepared without having to isolate and purify the intermediates. The strategy utilizes consecutive Claisen Schmidt condensation and epoxidation reactions to prepare chalcone epoxides from substituted benzaldehydes and acetophenones in good yields.

- Tin(II) chloride mediated coupling reactions between alkynes and aldehydes
-
Tin(II) chloride, which is insensitive to water and air, mediated the coupling reaction between alkynes and aldehydes as a Lewis acid in nitromethane to produce (E)-α,β-unsaturated ketones by a skeletal transformation in which one alkynic carbon atom changed into an oxo carbon atom accompanied by the cleavage of a C=O bond in the starting aldehydes. This coupling reaction was promoted by a catalytic amount of a primary or secondary alkanol. The coupling reaction between 1-deuterio-2-phenylethyne and benzaldehyde with BuOH afforded 1,3-diphenyl-2-deuterio-2-propenone (2-deuteriation: 94 % D), whereas the coupling reaction between phenylethyne and benzaldehyde with BuOD afforded 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenone (2-deuteriation: 0 % D). Because almost no exchange between hydrogen and deuterium at the 2-position of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenone occurs in either of the reactions, the coupling reaction between alkynes and aldehydes with tin(II) chloride is presumed to proceed by nucleophilic addition of alkynes to aldehydes. The cleavage of the C-O single bond generated by the nucleophilic addition might be induced by the strong oxophilicity of tin. Coupling reactions occur between alkynes and aldehydes mediated by tin(II) chloride as a Lewis acid to produce (E)-α,β-unsaturated ketones by a skeletal transformation in which an alkynic carbon atom changes into an oxo carbon atom accompanied by cleavage of the C=O bond in the starting aldehydes. This coupling reaction is promoted by a catalytic amount of a primary or secondary alkanol. Copyright

- Effects of structural and electronic characteristics of chalcones on the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma
-
Chalcones share some structural similarities with GW-1929, a highly-selective and potent agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ). In this study, we tested 53 structurally diverse chalcones to identify characteristics essential for PPARγ activation in a GAL4-based transactivation assay. This screen identified several novel chalcone agonists of PPARγ. Our results indicate that chalcones with an electron rich group or sterically large groups such as naphthyl on the carbonyl side tend to activate PPARγ. The absence of any strict structural or electronic requirements suggests that the flexibility of the PPARγ ligand binding pocket may allow binding of diverse chalcones with some preference for a slightly larger electron-rich group on the carbonyl side. We predict that further structure-activity relationship studies on chalcones with naphthalene or electron-rich groups near the carbonyl moiety will lead to the development of more potent PPARγ agonists.

- Syntheses and biological activity of chalcones-imidazole derivatives
-
A number of novel 13-membered chalcone-imidazole derivatives were prepared and have been synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis, the results conformed well to expected structures. Substituted acetophenones and benzaldehydes were condensed using the Claisen-Schmidt base-catalyzed aldol condensation. Methyl on the aromatic ring of chalcones was brominated by NBS, and then the resulting mixture was reacted with imidazole to get the target compound. Several chalcones showed in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-bacterial. The results showed that these are potential antibacterial compounds.

Two expedient one-pot methods have been developed for synthesis of β-aryl-β-mercaptoketones using acetophenones, benzaldehydes and thiols as starting materials. The methods involve microwave irradiation (5min) of 1:1 mixtures of acetophenones and benzaldehydes over neutral alumina supported anhydrous potassium carbonate or amberlyst-15 in the first step, and that is followed by addition of thiol to the resulting material and keeping at room temperature for 1.5 h.

A series of pyrazoline derivatives (1a-15a) was synthesized by cyclization of chalcones (1-15) with 2-[5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazol-1-yl]acetohydrazide under basic conditions and were screened in vitro, to find out effect on the growth of HM1: IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica. The compounds 3a, 4a, 11a, 13a and 14a showed encouraging results with IC50 value in the range of 0.86-1.28 μM. However compound 13a showed most promising results with IC50 = 0.86 μM which is half of the metronidazole, the standard drug used for protozoal infection. Cell viability test in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) revealed non-toxic nature of new synthesized compounds. Safety index calculations prevailed compound 13a as highly antiamoebic and least cytotoxic (S.I. = >116.28), almost twice than metronidazole.

- Allylic activation across an Ir-Sn heterobimetallic catalyst: Nucleophilic substitution and disproportionation of allylic alcohol
-
A nucleophilic substitution of allylic alcohols with carbon (arene, heteroarene, allyltrimethylsilane, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compound), sulfur (thiol), oxygen (alcohol), and nitrogen (sulfonamide) nucleophiles has been demonstrated using an in house developed [Ir(COD)(SnCl3)l(μ-Cl)]2 heterobimetallic catalyst in 1,2-dichloroethane to afford the corresponding allylic products in moderate to excellent yields. In 4-hydroxycoumarin, allylation occurs at the 3-position. The diaryl-substituted allylic alcohols undergo disproportionation in presence of the heterobimetallic catalyst to provide the corresponding alkenes and chalcones. An electrophilic mechanism is proposed from Hammett correlation study.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrazolyl-thiazolinone derivatives as potential EGFR and HER-2 kinase inhibitors
-
A series of pyrazolyl-thiazolinone derivatives (E1-E36) have been designed and synthesized and their biological activities were also evaluated as potential EGFR and HER-2 kinase inhibitors. Thirty-four of the 36 compounds were reported for the first time. Among them, compound 2-(5-(4-bromophenyl)-3-p-tolyl-4,5- dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazol-4(5H)-one (E28) displayed the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.24 μM for EGFR and IC50 = 1.07 μM for HER-2). Antiproliferative assay results indicated that compound E28 owned high antiproliferative activity against MCF-7, B16-F10 and HCT-116 in vitro, with IC50 value of 0.30, 0.54, and 0.70 μM, respectively. Docking simulation was further performed to position compound E28 into the EGFR active site to determine the probable binding model. Based on the preliminary results, compound E28 with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth would be a potential anticancer agent.
