- A Bisphenolic Honokiol Analog Outcompetes Oral Antimicrobial Agent Cetylpyridinium Chloride via a Membrane-Associated Mechanism
-
Targeting Streptococcus mutans is the primary focus in reducing dental caries, one of the most common maladies in the world. Previously, our groups discovered a potent bactericidal biaryl compound that was inspired by the natural product honokiol. Herein, a structure activity relationship (SAR) study to ascertain structural motifs key to inhibition is outlined. Furthermore, mechanism studies show that bacterial membrane disruption is central to the bacterial growth inhibition. During this process, it was discovered that analog C2 demonstrated a 4-fold better therapeutic index compared to the commercially available antimicrobial cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) making it a viable alternative for oral care.

- One-Step Synthesis of Substituted Benzofurans from ortho- Alkenylphenols via Palladium-Catalyzed C=H Functionalization
-
A dehydrogenative oxygenation of C(sp2)=H bonds with intramolecular phenolic hydroxy groups has been developed, which provides a straightforward and concise access to structurally diversely benzofurans from ortho-alkenylphenols. The reaction is catalyzed by palladium on carbon (Pd/C) without any oxidants and sacrificing hydrogen acceptors.

- Ionic-liquid-influenced expeditious and stereoselective synthesis of olefins
-
1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate, [bmim]Cl·.AlCl3 (molar fraction, N=0.67), ionic liquid has been used in combination with metallic Zn for the reductive coupling of carbonyl compounds to synthesize symmetrical olefins, with the Z-isomer formed predominantly. The ionic liquid played a dual role of Lewis acid catalyst and solvent. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- Syntheses and Platelet Aggregation Inhibitory and Antithrombotic Properties of ethyl>benzenes
-
A series of ethyl>benzene derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit collagen-induced platelet aggregation in vitro and to protect experimantal thrombosis in mice.The results showed that the compounds were in vitro inhibitors of collagen-induced platelet aggregation.Most of them were also effective in the mouse antithrombotic assay.The compounds were found to be potent antagonists to S2 serotonergic receptor, and good correlation (r = 0.85) between their S2 serotonergic receptor antagonism and their potency as platelet antiaggregatory drugs was observed.Among the compounds studied, monophenoxy>methyl>ethyl>succinate hydrochloride (12b, MCI-9042) was selected for further pharmacological and toxicological evaluation.
