- Design, synthesis and agricultural evaluation of derivatives of N-Acyl-N-(m-fluoro-benzyl)-6-amino-coumarin
-
ABTRACT: This study aims to design and synthesize a series of N-Acyl-N-(m-fluoro- benzyl)-6- amino-coumarins through the principle of active substructure stitching, which are based on the core structure of N-(m-fluoro-benzyl)-6-amino-coumarin. The structures of target compounds e1–e25 have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. Meanwhile, their agricultural activity have been evaluated in two weeds (Amaranth and Crabgrass) and four widespread noxious pathogens (V.mali, B.cinerea, F.axysporium and C.bacteria). The herbicidal activity results showed that almost all synthetic molecules have a greater impact on the stem system than on the root. Excellent inhibition rates were discovered from compounds e2–e5 and e20–e23 against Amaranth on stems, which were above 58percent(20 mg/L), 68percent(100 mg/L) respectively. Compounds e2 and e21 also exhibited striking inhibition on stems growth of both weeds. Anti-pathogenic activity showed that all the compounds exerted a better inhibitory activity on B.cinerea at 20 ppm compared to control carbendazim. All the heterocyclic substituted compounds (e17–e24, >57percent) made a better influence than the control (54.1percent) at the100 ppm. This research provides promising herbicidal and anti-pathogenic agents that have the better effects and can be potential for further development.

- Discovery and Mechanism of Action of Small Molecule Inhibitors of Ceramidases**
-
Sphingolipid metabolism is tightly controlled by enzymes to regulate essential processes in human physiology. The central metabolite is ceramide, a pro-apoptotic lipid catabolized by ceramidase enzymes to produce pro-proliferative sphingosine-1-phosphate. Alkaline ceramidases are transmembrane enzymes that recently attracted attention for drug development in fatty liver diseases. However, due to their hydrophobic nature, no specific small molecule inhibitors have been reported. We present the discovery and mechanism of action of the first drug-like inhibitors of alkaline ceramidase 3 (ACER3). In particular, we chemically engineered novel fluorescent ceramide substrates enabling screening of large compound libraries and characterized enzyme:inhibitor interactions using mass spectrometry and MD simulations. In addition to revealing a new paradigm for inhibition of lipid metabolising enzymes with non-lipidic small molecules, our data lay the ground for targeting ACER3 in drug discovery efforts.

- Photoinduced remote regioselective radical alkynylation of unactivated C-H bonds
-
A method for the remote regioselective alkynylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds in diverse aliphatic amides by photogenerated amidyl radicals has been developed. The site-selectivity is dominated via a 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process of the amide. Mild reaction conditions and high regioselectivity are demonstrated in this methodology.

- Functionalization of α-C(sp3)?H Bonds in Amides Using Radical Translocating Arylating Groups
-
α-C?H arylation of N-alkylamides using 2-iodoarylsulfonyl radical translocating arylating (RTA) groups is reported. The method allows the construction of α-quaternary carbon centers in amides. Various mono- and disubstituted RTA-groups are applied to the arylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary α-C(sp3)?H-bonds. These radical transformations proceed in good to excellent yields and the cascades comprise a 1,6-hydrogen atom transfer, followed by a 1,4-aryl migration with subsequent SO2 extrusion.

- Remote Regioselective Radical C-H Functionalization of Unactivated C-H Bonds in Amides: The Synthesis of gem-Difluoroalkenes
-
The site-selective functionalization of unactivated aliphatic amines is an attractive and challenging synthetic approach. We herein report a general strategy for the remote site-selective functionalization of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds in amides by photogenerated amidyl radicals to form gem-difluoroalkenes with trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes. The site selectivity is controlled by a 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process of the amide. This photocatalyzed transformation shows both chemo- and site-selectivity, facilitating the formation of a secondary, tertiary, or quaternary carbon center.

- Visible-Light-Assisted Gold-Catalyzed Fluoroarylation of Allenoates
-
A strategically novel synthetic method for the fluoroarylation of allenic ester was developed that enables the expedient construction of a host of β-fluoroalkyl-containing cinnamate derivatives. The reaction proceeds through visible-light-promoted gold redox catalysis, occurs smoothly under very mild reaction conditions, accommodates a large variety of functional groups, and more importantly allows the incorporation of fluorine and aryl groups with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. The concomitant activation mode for both the allene motif and the hydrogen fluoride is key for the success of the reaction.

- 2-Amino-5,6-difluorophenyl-1 H-pyrazole-Directed PdII Catalysis: Arylation of Unactivated β-C(sp3)-H Bonds
-
Palladium-catalyzed arylation of unactivated β-C(sp3)-H bonds in carboxylic acid derivatives with aryl iodides is described for the first time using 2-amino-5,6-difluorophenyl-1H-pyrazole as an efficient and readily removable directing group. Two fluoro groups are installed at the 5- and 6-position of the anilino moiety in 2-aminophenyl-1H-pyrazole, clearly enhancing the directing ability of the auxiliary. In addition, the protocol employs Cu(OAc)2/Ag3PO4 (1.2/0.3) as additives, evidently reducing the stoichiometric amount of expensive silver salts. Furthermore, this process exhibits high β-site selectivity, compatibility with diverse substrates containing α-hydrogen atoms, and excellent functional group tolerance.

- Direct C-C Bond Formation from Alkanes Using Ni-Photoredox Catalysis
-
A method for direct cross coupling between unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds and chloroformates has been accomplished via nickel and photoredox catalysis. A diverse range of feedstock chemicals, such as (a)cyclic alkanes and toluenes, along with late-stage intermediates, undergo intermolecular C-C bond formation to afford esters under mild conditions using only 3 equiv of the C-H partner. Site selectivity is predictable according to bond strength and polarity trends that are consistent with the intermediacy of a chlorine radical as the hydrogen atom-abstracting species.

- Methylation-dependent acyl transfer between polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthetase modules in fungal natural product biosynthesis
-
Biochemical studies of purified and dissected fungal polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthetase (PKS-NRPS) hybrid enzymes involved in biosynthesis of pseurotin and aspyridone indicate that one α-methylation step during polyketide synthesis is a prerequisite and a key checkpoint for chain transfer between PKS and NRPS modules. In the absence of the resulting γ-methyl feature, the completed polyketide intermediate is offloaded as an α-pyrone instead of being aminoacylated by the NRPS domain. These examples illustrate that precisely timed tailoring domain activities play critical roles in the overall programming of the iterative PKS (and NRPS) functions.

- Pd(ll)-Catalyzed olefination of sp3 C-H bonds
-
"Chemical equation presented" The first Pd(II)-catalyzed sp3 C-H olefination reaction has been developed using N-arylamide directing groups. Following olefination, the resulting intermediates were found to undergo rapid 1,4-addition to give the corresponding &-lactams. Notably, this method was effective with substrates containing (-hydrogen atoms and could be applied to effect methylene C-H olefination of cyclopropane substrates.

- Syntheses and evaluation of anticonvulsant profile and teratogenicity of novel amide derivatives of branched aliphatic carboxylic acids with 4-aminobenzensulfonamide
-
Despite the availability of 14 new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), about 30% of epileptic patients are not seizure-free. Consequently there is substantial need to develop new effective AEDs. A novel class of aromatic amides composed of phenylacetic acid or branched aliphatic carboxylic acids, with five to nine carbons in their carboxylic moiety, and aminobenzenesulfonamide were synthesized and evaluated in the anticonvulsant rat-maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous metrazol seizure (scMet) tests. Fourteen of the synthesized amides had an anticonvulsant ED50 of 50 values of 7.6, 9.9, and 9.4 mg/kg and remarkable protective index (PI = TD 50/ED50) values of 65.7, 50.5, and 53.2, respectively. These potent sulfanylamides caused neural tube defects only at doses markedly exceeding their effective dose. The anticonvulsant properties of these compounds make them potential candidates for further development as new, potent, and safe AEDs.

- Synthesis and evaluation of antiallodynic and anticonvulsant activity of novel amide and urea derivatives of valproic acid analogues
-
Valproic acid (VPA, 1) is a major broad spectrum antiepileptic and central nervous system drug widely used to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine. VPA's clinical use is limited by two severe and lifethreatening side effects, teratogenicity and hepatotoxicity. A number of VPA analogues and their amide, N-methylamide and urea derivatives, were synthesized and evaluated in animal models of neuropathic pain and epilepsy. Among these, two amide and two urea derivatives of 1 showed the highest potency as antineuropathic pain compounds, with ED50 values of 49 and 51 mg/kg for the amides (19 and 20) and 49 and 74 mg/kg for the urea derivatives (29 and 33), respectively. 19, 20, and 29 were equipotent to gabapentin, a leading drug for the treatment of neuropathic pain. These data indicate strong potential for the above-mentioned novel compounds as candidates for future drug development for the treatment of neuropathic pain. 2009 American Chemical Society.

- Mutation of cysteine-295 to alanine in secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus affects the enantioselectivity and substrate specificity of ketone reductions
-
The mutation of Cys-295 to alanine in Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus secondary alcohol dehycrogenase (SADH) was performed to give C295A SADH, on the basis of molecular modeling studies utilizing the X-ray crystal structure coordinates of the highly homologous T. brockii secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (YKF.PDB). This mutant SADH has activity for 2-propanol comparable to wild-type SADH. However, the C295A mutation was found to cause a significant shift of enantioselectivity toward the (S)-configuration in the reduction of some ethynylketones to the corresponding chiral propargyl alcohols. This result confirms our prediction that Cys-295 is part of a small alkyl group binding pocket whose size determines the binding orientation of ketone substrates, and, hence, the stereochemical configuration of the product alcohol. Furthermore, C295A SADH has much higher actifity towards t-butyl and some α-branched ketones than does wild-type SADH. The C295A mutation does not affect the thioester reductase activity of SADH. The broader substrate specificity and altered stereoselectivity for C295A SADH make it a potentially useful tool for asymmetric reductions. Copyright

- Phenylglycine methyl ester, a useful tool for absolute configuration determination of various chiral carboxylic acids
-
A new chiral anisotropic reagent, phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME), developed for the elucidation of the absolute configuration of chiral α,α- disubstituted acetic acids, has turned out to be applicable to other substituted carboxylic acids, such as chiral α-hydroxy-, α-alkoxy-, and α- acyloxy-α,α-disubstituted acetic acids, as well as to chiral β,β- disubstituted propionic acids. Because a carboxylic moiety is convertible from other functional groups, e.g., ozonolysis of an olefin and oxidative cleavage of a glycol, the present findings can expand the utility of the PGME method to the absolute configuration determination of various types of organic compounds, even those which initially lack oxygen functions. Several examples of the combination of chemical reactions and the PGME method are described.

The stereoselectivity of the reduction of rac-3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)hexan-2-one (1) to 3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)hexan-2-ol (2) diastereomers by more than 20 yeasts was studied. Reduction of carbonyl group in 1 proceeds with a high Re-face enantioselectivity: Candida guillermondii (98.9% e.e), C. zeylanoides (>99.9%), and Kloeckera apiculata (99.6%), respectively and the (R)-1 enantiomer usually reacted faster. The enantioselectivity was determined by GC on chiral cyclodextrine phases and absolute configurations of products were assigned by NMR spectroscopy and a chemical correlation.
