The development of green and efficient methods to transform lignin into fuels and high value-added chemicals is of great importance. In this work, we studied one-pot sequential oxidation and aldol-condensation reactions of veratryl alcohol in a basic ionic liquid (BIL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium 5-nitrobenzimidazolide, which acted as the solvent and provided the basic conditions required for the reactions. The effects of different factors such as the type of catalyst, reaction time, reaction temperature, and the amount of BIL on the oxidation reaction were investigated. It was demonstrated that the catalytic performance of individual Ru@ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework-8) or CuO was very poor for the oxidation of veratryl alcohol to veratryl aldehyde. Interestingly, Ru@ZIF-8 + CuO was very efficient for the oxidation reaction and a high yield of veratryl aldehyde could be obtained, indicating the excellent synergistic effect of the two catalysts in the BIL. The veratryl aldehyde generated by the oxidation of veratryl alcohol could react directly with acetone to form 3,4-dimethoxybenzylideneacetone by aldol-condensation reaction catalyzed by the BIL in high yield.

A series of novel antimitotic agents was designed using the replacement of heterocyclic cores in two tubulin-targeting lead molecules with the acylated 4-aminoisoxazole moiety. Target compounds were synthesized via heterocyclization of β-aryl-substituted vinylketones by tert-butyl nitrite in the presence of water as a key step. 4-Methyl-N-[5-methyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)isoxazol-4-yl]benzamide (1aa) was found to stimulate partial depolymerization of microtubules of human lung carcinoma A549 cells at a high concentration of 100 μM and to totally inhibit cell growth (IC50 = 0.99 μM) and cell viability (IC50 = 0.271 μM) in the nanomolar to submicromolar concentration range. These data provide evidence of the multitarget profile of the cytotoxic action of compound 1aa. The SAR study demonstrated that the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl residue is the key structural parameter determining the efficiency both towards tubulin and other molecular targets. The cytotoxicity of 3-methyl-N-[5-methyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)isoxazol-4-yl]benzamide (1ab) to the androgen-sensitive human prostate adenocarcinoma cancer cell line LNCaP (IC50 = 0.301 μM) was approximately one order of magnitude higher than that to the conditionally normal cells lines WI-26 VA4 (IC50 = 2.26 μM) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (IC50 = 5.58 μM) and significantly higher than that to primary fibroblasts (IC50 > 75 μM).

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic human pathogen that forms biofilms and produces virulence factors via quorum sensing (QS). Blocking the QS system in P. aeruginosa is an excellent strategy to reduce biofilm formation and the production of virulence factors. RhlR plays an essential role in the QS system of P. aeruginosa. We synthesized 55 analogues based on the chemical structure of 4-gingerol and evaluated their RhlR inhibitory activities using the cell-based reporter strain assay. Comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies identified the alkynyl ketone 30 as the most potent RhlR antagonist. This compound displayed selective RhlR antagonism over LasR and PqsR, strong inhibition of biofilm formation, and reduced production of virulence factors in P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the survival rate of Tenebrio molitor larvae treated with 30 in vivo greatly improved. Therefore, compound 30, a pure RhlR antagonist, can be utilized for developing QS-modulating molecules in the control of P. aeruginosa infections.
