- An inhibitor of the proteasomal deubiquitinating enzyme USP14 induces tau elimination in cultured neurons
-
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is responsible for most selective protein degradation in eukaryotes and regulates numerous cellular processes, including cell cycle control and protein quality control. A component of this system, the deubiquitinating enzyme USP14, associates with the proteasome where it can rescue substrates from degradation by removal of the ubiquitin tag. We previously found that a small-molecule inhibitor of USP14, known as IU1, can increase the rate of degradation of a subset of proteasome substrates. We report here the synthesis and characterization of 87 variants of IU1, which resulted in the identification of a 10-fold more potent USP14 inhibitor that retains specificity for USP14. The capacity of this compound, IU1-47, to enhance protein degradation in cells was tested using as a reporter the microtubule-associated protein tau, which has been implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases. Using primary neuronal cultures, IU1-47 was found to accelerate the rate of degradation of wild-type tau, the pathological tau mutants P301L and P301S, and the A152T tau variant. We also report that a specific residue in tau, lysine 174, is critical for the IU1-47–mediated tau degradation by the proteasome. Finally, we show that IU1-47 stimulates autophagic flux in primary neurons. In summary, these findings provide a powerful research tool for investigating the complex biology of USP14.

- Crystalline salicylic acid as an efficient catalyst for ultrafast Paal–Knorr pyrrole synthesis under microwave induction
-
Abstract: In this study, the viability of a wide range of crystalline aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids as organocatalysts has been investigated for solvent-free Paal–Knorr pyrrole synthesis under microwave activation. Among these potential catalysts, crystalline salicylic acid proved to be a remarkable catalyst because its efficiency remained high even under low microwave power irradiation or a shorter reaction time for the model reaction. The outstanding catalytic activity of salicylic acid allowed the Paal–Knorr cyclocondensation with a turnover frequency up to 1472?h?1 which is unique in the context of a metal-free homogeneous catalysis. The attractive feature of this organocatalyst is its assistance in ultrafast pyrrole synthesis with no risk of metal contamination. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.] Synopsis: A green and expeditious protocol for the synthesis of 2,5-dimethylpyrroles via combination of salicylic acid as catalyst (in its solid state) and microwaves has been introduced.

- Facile fabrication of porous magnetic covalent organic frameworks as robust platform for multicomponent reaction
-
The design of cheap yet efficient nanoporous magnetic catalysts for the environmentally benign process's widespread application is an extremely attractive, challenging chemical research field. A novel porous magnetic covalent organic framework was prepared by the condensation reaction of melamine and terephthaladehyde on the surface of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde coated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles COF@Fe3O4 under hydrothermal conditions for the first time. The high surface area magnetic COF could exhibit superior catalytic activity for sustainable synthesis of trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted imidazoles and pyrroles in good to excellent yields in PEG as solvent under environmentally friendly, ambient conditions and making the overall process economical, efficient, and green. The retrievable catalyst in PEG is general and applicable to a broad substrate scope and functional group compatibility. The structure and morphology of the COF@Fe3O4 were characterized by FTIR, XRD, EDX, and SEM spectroscopy. The COF@Fe3O4 magnetic catalyst was recovered by an external magnet and used for several cycles without significant catalytic activity loss.

- Amidosulfonic acid supported on graphitic carbon nitride: novel and straightforward catalyst for Paal–Knorr pyrrole reaction under mild conditions
-
A novel heterogeneous acidic catalyst was prepared by in situ immobilization of amidosulfonic acid (NH2SO3H) on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) under hydrothermal conditions. The textural morphology of NH2SO3H/g-C3N4 nanocomposite was characterized via powder X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, TGA, EDX, and scanning electron microscopy. The spatial arrangement of the amidosulfonic acid on the surface of g-C3N4 leads to the construction of a unique solid acid structure, resulting in a substantial enhancement of catalytic activity toward a high efficient preparation of pyrroles by Paal–Knorr reaction. The reactions undergo completion readily with good to excellent yields, with simple purification in an environmentally friendly manner. The NH2SO3H/g-C3N4 nanocomposite can be readily recycled, and no noteworthy reduction in the catalytic activity detected after four runs. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Synthesis of Fe3O4@L-proline@SO3H as a novel and reusable acidic magnetic nanocatalyst and its application for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles at room temperature under ultrasonic irradiation and without solvent
-
N-Substituted pyrroles have been prepared in high isolated yields (65–90%) by the reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with amines or diamines in the presence of Fe3O4@L-proline@SO3H at ambient temperature under ultrasonic irradiation and without solvent. The experimental procedure involves simple operations, and the products are readily separated by external magnet. The same reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with amines containing electron-acceptor substituents, such as 4-nitroaniline, resulted in fair yields of pyrrole derivatives.

- A New FXR Ligand Chemotype with Agonist/Antagonist Switch
-
Therapeutic modulation of the bile acid-sensing transcription factor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is an appealing strategy to counteract hepatic and metabolic diseases. Despite the availability of several highly potent FXR agonists structural diversity of FXR modulators is limited, and new ligand scaffolds are needed. Here we report structure-activity relationship elucidation of a new FXR modulator chemotype whose activity can be tuned between agonism and antagonism by two minor structural modifications. Starting from a weak FXR/PPAR agonist, we have developed selective FXR activators and antagonists with nanomolar to low-micromolar potencies and binding affinities. The new FXR ligand chemotype modulates the FXR activity in the native cellular setting, is endowed with favorable metabolic stability, and lacks cytotoxicity. It valuably expands the collection of FXR modulators as a new scaffold for FXR-targeted drug discovery.

- Method for preparing N-aryl pyrrole compound
-
The present invention relates to a method for preparing an N-aryl pyrrole compound. Furan containing different substituents, aromatic amine containing different substituents and a solid Lewis acid catalyst are mixed and placed in a closed reactor, and an N-aryl pyrrole compound with different substituents is prepared under certain catalytic conditions. The reaction temperature of the catalytic reaction condition is 140-210 DEG C. The solid Lewis acid catalyst is prepared by a sol-gel method, Hf is used as a core metal element, and a mesoporous molecular sieve SBA-15 is used as a carrier. According to the method, the catalyst is simple to prepare, low in cost, high in reaction activity, good in water resistance and structural stability and high in catalytic reaction yield; meanwhile, the Lewis acid type catalyst does not generate acid protons, the corrosion of the catalyst to equipment at high temperature is avoided, the post-reaction treatment is convenient, and the catalyst is renewable and environment-friendly.

- Naturally occurring organic acids for organocatalytic synthesis of pyrroles via Paal–Knorr reaction
-
Abstract: In this study, common naturally occurring organic acids, namely oxalic, malonic, succinic, tartaric and citric acid (as safe, inexpensive, and biodegradable organocatalysts), have been employed for Paal–Knorr pyrrole synthesis. The organocatalyzed reaction proved to be effective in ethanol at 60?°C. However, the reaction rate is mainly dominated by the nature and position of functional groups on the aromatic ring of substrate. This metal-free procedure tolerates a series of functional groups and should be considered as an asset to the pharmaceutical industry since no metal contamination could take place during the synthesis of pyrrole scaffolds.

- Synthesis, structure and in vitro anti-trypanosomal activity of non-toxic arylpyrrole-based chalcone derivatives
-
With an intention of identifying chalcone derivatives exhibiting anti-protozoal activity, a cohort of relatively unexplored arylpyrrole-based chalcone derivatives were synthesized in moderate to good yields. The resultant compounds were evaluated in vitro for their potential activity against a cultured Trypanosoma brucei brucei 427 strain. Several compounds displayed mostly modest in vitro anti-trypanosomal activity with compounds 10e and 10h emerging as active candidates with IC50 values of 4.09 and 5.11 μM, respectively. More importantly, a concomitant assessment of their activity against a human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cell line revealed that these compounds are non-toxic.

- Switching on the activity of 1,5-diaryl-pyrrole derivatives against drug-resistant ESKAPE bacteria: Structure-activity relationships and mode of action studies
-
Antibiotic resistance represents a major threat worldwide. Gram-positive and Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens are becoming resistant to all known drugs mainly because of the overuse and misuse of these medications and the lack of new antibiotic development by the pharmaceutical industry. There is an urgent need to discover structurally innovative antibacterial agents for which no pre-existing resistance is known. This work describes the identification, synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel series of 1,5-diphenylpyrrole compounds active against a panel of ESKAPE bacteria. The new compounds show high activity against both wild type and drug-resistant Gram + ve and Gram-ve pathogens at concentrations similar or lower than levofloxacin. Microbiology studies revealed that the plausible target of the pyrrole derivatives is the bacterial DNA gyrase, with the pyrrole derivatives displaying similar inhibitory activity to levofloxacin against the wild type enzyme and retaining activity against the fluoroquinolone-resistant enzyme.

- Bio-based material as medium, mild and reusable catalyst for paal–knorr pyrrole synthesis with and without ultrasonic irradiation
-
Background: Pyrrole moiety is found in naturally occurring compounds such as chlorophyll, haem, and vitamin B12 and present in a number of drugs for example atorvastatin, ketorolac, elopiprazole, tolmetin and sunitinib. Various methods have been used for the synthesis of pyrrole derivatives; however, still there is a need for environmentally benign and economic protocol. Method: We have reported a simple, mild and speedy synthesis of N-substituted 2,5-dimethyl pyrrole derivatives in ‘’GAAS’’ as medium and catalyst at room temperature and under ultrasound irradiation. Results: This protocol was employed for the synthesis of various 2,5-dimethyl-N-substituted pyrrole-derivatives using both aliphatic as well as aromatic amines in short time (2 to 10 minutes)with excellent yield (84-95%) at room temperature and under ultrasonic irradiation. The catalytic system “GAAS’’ was regenerated and reused five times effectively without major loss of activity. Conclusion: In conclusion, we have developed an eco-friendly, simple, faster, reusable, mild, and efficient protocol for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrrole derivatives. This bio-based protocol is cost-effective and greener methodology for the synthesis of biologically active N-substituted pyrrole derivatives.

Given the wide applications of pyrroles in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and supramolecular and materials chemistry, a mild and eco-friendly route to produce functionalized pyrroles from bioderived feedstocks is highly desirable. Described herein is a mild and convenient synthesis of pyrroles via direct condensation of an equimolar amount of structurally diverse anilines with biobased furans catalyzed by a simple and efficient solid acid H form zeolite Y catalyst. The protocol tolerates a large variety of functional groups and offers a general and versatile method for scale-up synthesis of a variety of N-substituted pyrrole compounds. Most importantly, the bioactive pyrrole-derived drug pyrvinium, which has lately been confirmed as highly effective in curing colon cancer, can be obtained by this method.

The heterogeneous cobalt-nitrogen catalyst (Co-Nx/C-800-AT) was found to be active for this reaction with formic acid. Formic acid served as a hydrogen donor for the transfer hydrogenation, and also acted as an acid catalyst. More importantly, this method was tolerant of other functional groups, and hence various N-substituted pyrroles were produced with good to excellent yields. The Co-Nx/C-800-AT catalyst was highly stable, and could be reused several times without loss of its catalytic activity.

-
Novel pyrroles have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated against mycobacterial strains. The pyrroles have originally been designed as hybrids of the antitubercular drugs BM212 (1) and SQ109 (2), which showed common chemical features with very similar topological distribution. A perfect superposition of the structures of 1 and 2 revealed by computational studies suggested the introduction of bulky substituents at the terminal portion of the pyrrole C3 side chain and the removal of the C5 aryl moiety. Five compounds showed high activity toward Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while 9b and 9c were highly active also against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates. Compound 9c showed low eukaryotic cell toxicity, turning out to be an excellent lead candidate for preclinical trials. In addition, four compounds showed potent inhibition (comparable to that of verapamil) toward the whole-cell drug efflux pump activity of mycobacteria, thus turning out to be promising multidrug-resistance-reversing agents.

- Indium-Catalyzed Formal N-Arylation and N-Alkylation of Pyrroles with Amines
-
Under indium Lewis acid catalysis, a nitrogen atom of N-unsubstituted pyrroles was replaced with a nitrogen atom of primary amines, thereby producing N-aryl- and N-alkylpyrroles. This system formally introducing such carbon frameworks to the pyrrole nitrogen atom shows unique selectivity: only the H?N(pyrrolyl) unit undergoes the N-arylation and N-alkylation even in the coexistence of a similar H?N(indolyl) part; and an aryl–halogen bond remains intact. These are clearly different from the typical method depending on the C?N(pyrrolyl) bond-forming reaction with organic halides as substrates. From a viewpoint of pyrrole N-protection–deprotection chemistry, worth noting is that a methyl group on the pyrrole nitrogen atom can be removed, albeit in a formal way. (Figure presented.).

The investigation of different oxide surfaces revealed that nanoporous silica (MCM-41) had the best catalytic activity for Paal-Knorr pyrrole synthesis. Despite the same composition, MCM-41 proved to be more effective than SiO2 itself, probably due to a significantly higher surface area of the SiO2 nanopores. The important features of this "clean" solvent-free protocol are the ease of recovery and the reuse of the catalyst for several cycles, operational simplicity, and easy product isolation and purification.

- Cyclodextrin-based PNN supramolecular assemblies: a new class of pincer-type ligands for aqueous organometallic catalysis
-
Water-soluble cyclodextrins (CDs) bearing two nitrogen atoms as metal coordinating sites have been synthesized. An appropriate phosphane could be included within their cavity through the primary face to form self-assembled PNN supramolecular edifices. Once the PNN ligands were coordinated to platinum, the resulting complexes proved to be very effective as catalysts in a domino reaction, where a Pt-catalyzed reduction of nitrobenzene was followed by a Paal-Knorr pyrrole reaction. In the nitrobenzene reduction, the modified CDs acted both as first- and second-sphere ligands. Contrary to an acyclic glucopyranose-based NN ligand unable to interact with a phosphane ligand, the CD-based PNN ligands stabilized the catalytic species in water by supramolecular means. Interestingly, the product and the water-soluble Pt-catalyst could be recovered in two different phases once the reaction was complete.

- Sulfamic acid heterogenized on functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with diaminoglyoxime as a green, efficient and reusable catalyst for one-pot synthesis of substituted pyrroles in aqueous phase
-
Surface functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles is an elegant way to bridge the gap between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. We have conveniently loaded sulfonic acid groups on amino-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles affording sulfamic acid-functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs/DAG-SO3H) as an active and stable magnetically separable acidic nanocatalyst, which was characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopies, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, vibrating sample magnetometry and elemental analysis. The catalytic activity of MNPs/DAG-SO3H was probed through one-pot synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles from γ-diketones and primary amines in aqueous phase at room temperature. The heterogeneous catalyst could be recovered easily by applying an external magnet device and reused many times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

- Discovery and structure-activity relationships of pyrrolone antimalarials
-
In the pursuit of new antimalarial leads, a phenotypic screening of various commercially sourced compound libraries was undertaken by the World Health Organisation Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (WHO-TDR). We report here the detailed characterization of one of the hits from this process, TDR32750 (8a), which showed potent activity against Plasmodium falciparum K1 (EC50 ～ 9 nM), good selectivity (>2000-fold) compared to a mammalian cell line (L6), and significant activity against a rodent model of malaria when administered intraperitoneally. Structure-activity relationship studies have indicated ways in which the molecule could be optimized. This compound represents an exciting start point for a drug discovery program for the development of a novel antimalarial.

- An expeditious and solvent-free synthesis of substituted pyrroles using sulfated anatase-titania as a solid acid catalyst
-
Sulfated anatase-titania (TiO2S4 21) has been used as a solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of substituted pyrroles from diketone and aromatic/aliphatic (acyclic and cyclic) primary amines by simple physical grinding. This sulfated titania gives an excellent yield with less reaction time and is an inexpensive, easily recyclable nanocatalytic material for this reaction. Higher catalytic activity of TiO2S 4 21 is due to its increased Broonsted acidity.
