- Discovery of phthalazino[1,2-b]-quinazolinone derivatives as multi-target HDAC inhibitors for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma via activating the p53 signal pathway
-
In view of histone deacetylases (HDACs) as a promising target for cancer therapy, a series of phthalazino[1,2-b]-quinazolinone units were hybrided with ortho-aminoanilide or hydroxamic acid to serve as multi-target HDAC inhibitors for the treatment of solid tumors. Among the target compounds, 8h possessed nano-molar IC50 values toward the tested cancer cells and HDAC subtypes, which was more potent than the HDAC inhibitor SAHA (vorinostat). Mechanism study revealed that compound 8h could suppress the HepG2 cell proliferation via prompting the acetylation of histone 3 (H3) and α-tubulin, and activating the p53 signal pathway as designed. In addition, compound 8h exhibited much stronger in vivo antitumor efficacy than SAHA in the HepG2 xenograft tumor model with negligible toxicity. As a novel multi-target HDAC inhibitor, compound 8h deserves further development as a potential anticancer agent.

- Monitoring intracellular pH fluctuation with an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer-based ratiometric fluorescent sensor
-
Intracellular pH is a key parameter related to various biological and pathological processes. In this study, a ratiometric pH fluorescent sensor ABTT was developed harnessing the amino-type excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. Relying on whether the ESIPT proceeds normally or not, ABTT exhibited the yellow fluorescence in acidic media, or cyan fluorescence in basic condition. According to the variation, ABTT behaved as a promising sensor which possessed fast and reversible response to pH change without interference from the biological substances, and exported a steady ratiometric signal (I478/I546). Moreover, due to the ESIPT effect, large Stokes shift and high quantum yield were also exhibited in ABTT. Furthermore, ABTT was applied for monitoring the pH changes in living cells and visualizing the pH fluctuations under oxidative stress successfully. These results elucidated great potential of ABTT in understanding pH-dependent physiological and pathological processes.

- Benzimidazoquinazolines as new potent anti-TB chemotypes: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation
-
In search for new molecular entities as anti-TB agents, the benzimidazoquinazoline polyheterocyclic scaffold has been designed adopting the scaffold hopping strategy. Thirty-two compounds have been synthesized through an improved tandem decarboxylative nucleophilic addition cyclocondensation reaction of o-phenylenediamine with isatoic anhydride followed by further cyclocondensation of the intermediately formed 2-(o-aminoaryl)benzimidazole with trialkyl orthoformate/acetate. The resultant benzimidazoquinazolines were evaluated in vitro for anti-TB activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC27294 strain). Fourteen compounds exhibiting MIC values in the range of 0.4–6.25 μg/mL were subjected to cell viability test against RAW 264.7 cell lines and were found to be non-toxic (30% inhibition at 50 μg/mL). The active compounds were further evaluated against INH resistant Mtb strains. The most active compound 6x [MIC (H37Rv) of 0.4 μg/mL] and the compound 6d [MIC (H37Rv) of 0.78 μg/mL] were also found to be active against INH resistant Mtb strain with MIC values of 12.5 and 0.78 μg/mL, respectively.

- Benzoxazepine-Derived Selective, Orally Bioavailable Inhibitor of Human Acidic Mammalian Chitinase
-
Human acidic mammalian chitinase (hAMCase) is one of two true chitinases in humans, the function of which remains elusive. In addition to the defense against highly antigenic chitin and chitin-containing pathogens in the gastric and intestinal contents, AMCase has been implicated in asthma, allergic inflammation, and ocular pathologies. Potent and selective small-molecule inhibitors of this enzyme have not been identified to date. Here we describe structural modifications of compound OAT-177, a previously developed inhibitor of mouse AMCase, leading to OAT-1441, which displays high activity and selectivity toward hAMCase. Significantly reduced off-target activity toward the human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) and a good pharmacokinetic profile make OAT-1441 a potential candidate for further preclinical development as well as a useful tool compound to study the physiological role of hAMCase.

A series of novel 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one derivatives containing 4,5-dihydrothiazole-2-thiol were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR and HRMS. The bioassay results showed that compounds 3-(3-((4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)thio)propyl)-7-methoxybenzo[d][1–3]triazin-4(3H)-one, 3-(3-((4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)thio)propyl)-6-nitrobenzo[d][1–3]triazin-4(3H)-one, 7-chloro-3-(3-((4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)thio)propyl)benzo[d][1–3]triazin-4(3H)-one exhibited good control efficacy against the cucumber root-knot nematode disease caused by Meloidogyne incognita at the concentration of 10.0 mg L?1 in vivo. Compound 7-chloro-3-(3-((4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)thio)propyl)benzo[d][1–3]triazin-4(3H)-one showed excellent nematicidal activity with inhibition 68.3% at a concentration of 1.0 mg L?1.

- Synthesis of Ring-Fused, N-Substituted 4-Quinolinones Using p Ka-Guided, Base-Promoted Annulations with Isatoic Anhydrides: Total Synthesis of Penicinotam
-
An anionic annulation strategy employing isatoic anhydrides and a wide assortment of enolizable partners was developed to afford over 80 novel ring-fused, N-substituted 4-quinolinones, an underrepresented privileged template. Multiple factors governing the efficiency of the transformation were determined, resulting in a reliable and tunable synthetic platform applicable for a broad range of substrates with variable deprotonation susceptibility, such as tetramic and tetronic acids, cyclic 1,3-diketones, and cycloalkanones. Application to the synthesis of bioactive, pyrrolizine-fused 4-quinolinone, penicinotam 3, resulted in the most brief and highest yielding total synthesis of the alkaloid in three steps and a 36% overall yield.

- Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Decarboxylative Annulations to Access Dihydrobenzoxazinones and Quinolones
-
A direct decarboxylative strategy for the generation of aza-o-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has been discovered and explored. This process requires no stoichiometric additives in contrast with current approaches. Aza-o-QMs react with trifluoromethyl ketones through a formal [4+2] manifold to access highly enantioenriched dihydrobenzoxazin-4-one products, which can be converted to dihydroquinolones through an interesting stereoretentive aza-Petasis–Ferrier rearrangement sequence. Complementary dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) studies provided an accurate prediction of the reaction enantioselectivity and lend further insight to the origins of stereocontrol. Additionally, a computed potential energy surface around the major transition structure suggests a concerted asynchronous mechanism for the formal annulation.

- Gold-Catalyzed Selective 6-exo-dig and 7-endo-dig Cyclizations of Alkyn-Tethered Indoles to Prepare Rutaecarpine Derivatives
-
An efficient method to synthesize rutaecarpine derivatives via the gold-catalyzed selective cyclization of alkyn-tethered indoles under mild conditions is described. The alkyn-tethered indole can undergo 6-exo-dig cyclization by oxidation and sequential gold catalysis, while it goes through 7-endo-dig cyclization by gold catalysis and sequential oxidation. Substrate scope studies reveal that the selectivity of cyclization was controlled by the substrates with sp3 and sp2 hybridization of carbon at the 2 position in quinazolinone. Furthermore, the rutaecarpine scaffold was prepared in 67% yield at gram scale easily in four steps from isatoic anhydride.

- Synthesis and insecticidal activity study of novel anthranilic diamides analogs containing a diacylhydrazine bridge as effective Ca2+ modulators

Anthranilic diamides is a class of insecticides target at ryanodine receptors (RyRs). To discover potent insecticides targeting at RyRs, a series of novel anthranilic diamides with a diacylhydrazine bridge were designed and synthesized. Their insecticidal activities were evaluated and a preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) was summarized. In particular, compound 5g exhibited good lethality against oriental armyworm (Mythimna separata) at a concentration of 5?mg/L. The calcium imaging experimental results indicated that the compound 5g can serve as effective insect Ca2+ level modulators by disrupting the cellular calcium homeostasis in Mythimna separata (Walker) and Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), which probably activated the RyRs on the ER membrane.

- Design, Synthesis, and Potency of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex E1 Inhibitors against Cyanobacteria
-
Safe and effective algaecides are needed to control agriculturally and environmentally significant algal species. Four series (6, 10, 17, and 21) of 29 novel 4-aminopyrimidine derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized. A part of 10, 17, and 21 displayed potent inhibition of Escherichia coli pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1 (E. coli PDHc-E1) (IC50 = 2.12-18.06 μM) and good inhibition of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (EC50 = 0.7-7.1 μM) and Microcystis sp. FACH 905 (EC50 = 3.7-7.6 μM). The algaecidal activity of these compounds positively correlated with their inhibition of E. coli PDHc-E1. In particular, 21l and 10b exhibited potent algaecidal activity against PCC 6803 (EC50 = 0.7 and 0.8 μM, respectively), values that were 2-fold increased compared to that of copper sulfate (EC50 = 1.8 μM), and showed the best inhibition of cyanobacterium PDHc-E1 (IC50 = 5.10 and 6.06 μM, respectively). 17h and 21e, the best inhibitors of E. coli PDHc-E1, were studied by molecular docking, site-directed mutagenesis, and enzymatic assays. These results revealed that the improved inhibition of novel inhibitors compared with that of the lead compound I was due to the formation of a new hydrogen bond with Leu264 at the active site of E. coli PDHc-E1. The results proved the great potential to obtain effective algaecides via the rational design of PDHc-E1 inhibitors. [Figure Presented]

After a series of careful conditional optimizations and catalyst screenings, a methodology to prepare isatoic anhydrides through organoselenium-catalyzed selective oxidation of isatins by H2O2 under mild and neutral conditions was developed. The reactions were very practical because of the recyclability of the catalyst and solvent and the convenient isolation procedures of the products. This work reports the organoselenium-catalyzed oxidation of heterocycles that greatly expands the application scopes of organoselenium catalysis. It also indicates that the organoselenium catalysts are robust enough to be recycled in industrial production if suitable isolation procedures are developed.

A series of novel 2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazoles containing N-pyridylpyrazole carboxamides moieties were obtained by applying a new synthetic route. Their insecticidal tests against oriental armyworm (Mythimna separata) and diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) indicated that most of the compounds showed moderate to excellent activities at the testing concentrations. In particular, compound 6a showed 40% larvicidal activities against oriental armyworm at 1 mg/L, while 7a against diamondback was 100% at 0.01 mg/L. Calcium imaging results demonstrated that 6a, 6d and 7a stimulated a transient elevation in [Ca2+]i in the absence of external calcium after the central neurons dye loading with fluo-3 AM, implying that these novel compounds were potential activators of the ligand-gated calcium channel on the endoplasmic reticulum.

- Structure-activity relationships and pharmacophore model of a noncompetitive pyrazoline containing class of GluN2C/GluN2D selective antagonists
-
Here we describe the synthesis and structure-activity relationship for a class of pyrazoline-containing dihydroquinolone negative allosteric modulators of the NMDA receptor that show strong subunit selectivity for GluN2C- and GluN2D-containing receptors over GluN2A- and GluN2B-containing receptors. Several members of this class inhibit NMDA receptor responses in the nanomolar range and are more than 50-fold selective over GluN1/GluN2A and GluN1/GluN2B NMDA receptors, as well as AMPA, kainate, GABA, glycine, nicotinic, serotonin, and purinergic receptors. Analysis of the purified enantiomers of one of the more potent and selective compounds shows that the S-enantiomer is both more potent and more selective than the R-enantiomer. The S-enantiomer had an IC 50 of 0.17-0.22 μM at GluN2D- and GluN2C-containing receptors, respectively, and showed over 70-fold selectivity over other NMDA receptor subunits. The subunit selectivity of this class of compounds should be useful in defining the role of GluN2C- and GluN2D-containing receptors in specific brain circuits in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

- The use of biochemical and biophysical tools for triage of high-throughput screening hits - aa case study with escherichia coli phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase
-
High-throughput screening is utilized by pharmaceutical researchers and, increasingly, academic investigators to identify agents that act upon enzymes, receptors, and cellular processes. Screening hits include molecules that specifically bind the target and a greater number of non-specific compounds. It is necessary to 'triage' these hits to identify the subset worthy of further exploration. As part of our antibacterial drug discovery effort, we applied a suite of biochemical and biophysical tools to accelerate the triage process. We describe application of these tools to a series of 9-oxo-4,9-dihydropyrazolo[5, 1-b]quinazoline-2-carboxylic acids (PQ) hits from a screen of Escherichia coli phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT). Initial confirmation of specific binding to phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase was obtained using biochemical and biophysical tools, including a novel orthogonal assay, isothermal titration calorimetry, and saturation transfer difference NMR. To identify the phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase sub-site bound by these inhibitors, two techniques were utilized: steady-state enzyme kinetics and a novel 19F NMR method in which fluorine-containing fragments that bind the ATP and/or phosphopantetheine sites serve as competitive reporter probes. These data are consistent with PQs binding the ATP sub-site. In addition to identification of a series of PPAT inhibitors, the described hit triage process is broadly applicable to other enzyme targets in which milligram quantities of purified target protein are available.

- Potential plant growth regulators: Synthesis and activity of new substituted N-(2-benzoyl-4-chlorophenyl)benzamides and N-[4-chloro-2-(α, α-hydroxyphenylmethyl)phenyl]benzamides
-
2-Amino-5-chlorobenzophenone 3 prepared in 2 steps from isatoic anhydride 1 on condensation with substituted benzoyl chlorides 6a-i in presence of Et 3N in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) affords substituted N-(2-benzoyl-4-chlorophenyl)-benzamides 7a-i which on reduction with NaBH 4 gives corresponding alcohols, N-[4-chloro-2-(α,α- hydroxyphenyl-methyl)phenyl]benzamides 8a-i. The structures of all the compounds are confirmed by 1H NMR spectra, and their cytokinin (plant growth promoting) activity is determined on seeds of Raphanus sativus, family Brassicaceae (common name white radish, variety Pusa Chetki), for concentrations varying between 0.1 to 10 mg/litre. Compounds 7c, 7d, 7g and 7h at all concentrations and 7i at 4 concentrations have been found to show higher plant growth promoting (PGP) activity than benzyladenine (standard). Compounds 8d and 8g also show moderate plant growth promoting (cytokinin) activity, while compounds 7a, 7b, 7e, 7f and 8a, 8b, 8c, 8e, 8f and 8i are found to have plant growth inhibiting (PGI) activity.

- New benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridine and azepino[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives as selective antagonists of 5-HT4 receptors: Binding profile and pharmacological characterization
-
A series of benzo[h] [1,6] naphthyridine and azepino[3,2-c] quinoline derivatives were prepared and evaluated to determine the necessary requirements for high affinity on the 5-HT4 receptors and high selectivity versus other receptors. The compounds were synthesized by substituting the chlorine atom of benzonaphthyridines and azepinoquinolines with various N-alkyl-4-piperidinylmethanolates. They were evaluated in binding assays with [3H]GR 113808 as the 5-HT4 receptor radioligand. The affinity values (Ki or inhibition percentages) depended upon the substituent on the aromatic ring on one hand and the substituent on the lateral piperidine chain on the other hand. A chlorine atom produced a marked drop in activity while a N-propyl or N-butyl group gave compounds with nanomolar affinities (1 i 4(a) receptor. Derivative 4a also showed in vivo potent analgesic activity in the writhing test at very low doses.

- Reactions of 2-Isocyanatobenzoyl Chlorides with Phenylmagnesium Bromide: Synthesis of 2-Phenyl-3,1-benzoxazin-4(H)-ones, N-Benzoyl-2-aminobenzophenones, α-(2-Benzamidoaryl)benzohydrols and 6-Chloro-4,4-diphenyl-3,1-benzoxazin-2(4H)-one
-
In the reaction of 2-isocyanatobenzoyl chloride (Ia) with phenylmagnesium bromide, the isocyanato group is found to be exclusively attacked by the Grignard reagent to give 2-phenyl-3,1-benzoxazin-4(H)-one (IIIa), N-benzoylanthranilic acid (IVa), N-benzoyl-2-aminobenzophenone (Va), and α-(2-benzamidophenyl)benzohydrol (VIa) depending on the mode of addition and the relative amounts of the Grignard reagent.However, in the case of 5-chloro-2-isocyanatobenzoyl chloride (Ib), the chloroformyl group is also found to react simultaneously, although to a smaller extent, to give 6-chloro-4,4-diphenyl-1,2-dihydro-3,1-benzoxazin-2(4H)-one (VIIb) in addition to 6-chloro-2-phenyl-3,1-benzoxazin-4(H)-one (IIIb), N-benzoyl-2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone (Vb) and α-(2-benzamido-5-chlorophenyl)benzohydrol (VIb) depending on the reaction conditions.This is presumably due to the decreased reactivity of the isocyanato function due to the chloro group in the para-position.The reaction is believed to proceed through an acyclic intermediate complex which affords IIIa on work-up.PMR data of the compounds have also been discussed.
