- Heterocyclic pyrrolizinone and indolizinones derived from natural lactam as potential antifungal agents
-
With the aim to develop highly potential active heterocyclic compounds, two series of multi-substituted pyrrolizinone and indolizinones derived from lactam were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their potential antifungal activities against six species of the plant pathogen fungi (Fusarium graminearum, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Phomopsis adianticola, Gloeosporium theae-sinensis, Alternaria tenuis Nees, Magnaporthe oryzae). The structure of all the newly molecules were confirmed by analytical spectroscopic data, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS. According to the preliminary studies on bio-evaluation assay, some of the obtained compounds exhibited moderate and broad-spectrum activities against six fungi compared to the intermediates 6a, 6f and the hymexazol. Particularly, the inhibition rate of compounds 7l, 7m and 7t reached 69.25%, 74.76%, 65.38% against Phomopsis adianticola and Magnaporthe oryzae in vitro activity. Furthermore, compounds 7l and 7t displayed obviously inhibition activities against Phomopsis adianticola compared to the hymexazol. Consequently, compounds 7l and 7t with six-membered alkane ring could be used as new motifs for further investigation.

- Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and silico prediction of novel sinomenine derivatives
-
Sinomenine is a morphinan alkaloid with a variety of biological activities. Its derivatives have shown significant cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines in many studies. In this study, two series of sinomenine derivatives were designed and synthesized by modifying the active positions C1 and C4 on the A ring of sinomenine. Twenty‐three compounds were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy (IR,1H‐NMR,13C‐NMR, and HRMS). They were further evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five cancer cell lines, MCF‐7, Hela, HepG2, SW480 and A549, and a normal cell line, Hek293, using MTT and CCK8 methods. The chlorine‐containing compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic activity compared to the nucleus structure of sinomenine. Furthermore, we searched for cancer‐related core targets and verified their interaction with derivatives through molecular docking. The chlorine‐containing compounds 5g, 5i, 5j, 6a, 6d, 6e, and 6g exhibited the best against four core targets AKT1, EGFR, HARS and KARS. The molecular docking results were consistent with the cytotoxic results. Overall, results indicate that chlorine‐containing derivatives might be a promising lead for the development of new anticancer agents.

- Structure-Kinetics Correlations in Isostructural Crystals of α-(ortho-Tolyl)-acetophenones: Pinning Down Electronic Effects Using Laser-Flash Photolysis in the Solid State
-
Aqueous suspensions of nanocrystals in the 200-500 nm size range of isostructural α-(ortho-tolyl)-acetophenone (1a) and α-(ortho-tolyl)-para-methylacetophenone (1b) displayed good absorption characteristics for flash photolysis experiments in a flow system, with transient spectra and decay kinetics with a quality that is similar to that recorded in solution. In contrast to solution measurements, reactions in the solid state were characterized by a rate limiting hydrogen transfer reaction from the triplet excited state and a very short-lived biradical intermediate, which does not accumulate. Notably, the rate for δ-hydrogen atom transfer of 1a (2.7 × 107 s-1) in the crystalline phase is 18-fold larger than that of 1b (1.5 × 106 s-1). With nearly identical molecular and crystal structures, this decrease in the rate of δ-hydrogen abstraction can be assigned unambiguously to an electronic effect by the para-methyl group in 1b, which increases the contribution of the 3π,π? configuration relative to the reactive 3n,π? configuration in the lowest triplet excited state. These results highlight the potential of relating single crystal X-ray structural data with absolute kinetics from laser flash photolysis.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Distal C?H Selenylation of 2-Aryl Acetamides with Diselenides and Selenyl Chlorides
-
A convenient and effective method of palladium-catalyzed C?H selenylation of the 2-aryl acetamides assisted with removable 8-aminoquinoline with readily available diselenides and selenyl chlorides has been developed. This selenylation reaction is scalable and tolerates a wide range of functional groups, providing a straightforward way of the preparing unsymmetrical diaryl selenides and dibenzoselene-pinone. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that a single-electron transfer type mechanism and facile C?H metalation are operative. (Figure presented.).

- Photoinduced Diverse Reactivity of Diazo Compounds with Nitrosoarenes
-
A diverse reactivity of diazo compounds with nitrosoarene in an oxygen-transfer process and a formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition is reported. Nitosoarene has been exploited as a mild oxygen source to oxidize an in situ generated carbene intermediate under visible-light irradiation. UV-light-mediated in situ generated ketenes react with nitosoarenes to deliver oxazetidine derivatives. These operationally simple processes exemplify a transition-metal-free and catalyst-free protocol to give structurally diverse α-ketoesters or oxazetidines.

- N-monoarylacetothioureas as potent urease inhibitors: synthesis, SAR, and biological evaluation
-
A urease inhibitor with good in vivo profile is considered as an alternative agent for treating infections caused by urease-producing bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori. Here, we report a series of N-monosubstituted thioureas, which act as effective urease inhibitors with very low cytotoxicity. One compound (b19) was evaluated in detail and shows promising features for further development as an agent to treat H. pylori caused diseases. Excellent values for the inhibition of b19 against both extracted urease and urease in intact cell were observed, which shows IC50 values of 0.16 ± 0.05 and 3.86 ± 0.10 μM, being 170- and 44-fold more potent than the clinically used drug AHA, respectively. Docking simulations suggested that the monosubstituted thiourea moiety penetrates urea binding site. In addition, b19 is a rapid and reversible urease inhibitor, and displays nM affinity to urease with very slow dissociation (koff=1.60 × 10?3 s?1) from the catalytic domain.

-
The 2-(neopentylsulfinyl)aniline directing group that promotes rapid palladium-catalyzed C–H acetoxylation and alkenylation of arylacetamides has been developed. The acetoxylation reaches completion within only 40 min at 100 °C and leads to the bis-functionalized products. Alternatively, the reaction can be carried out at room temperature, which is beneficial for sensitive substrates. For the alkenylation, we have developed a protocol in which easily available 1-substituted cyclopropanols were employed as equivalents of vinyl ketones.

- Synthesis of 7-hydroxy-6H-naphtho[2,3-c]coumarinviaa TsOH-mediated tandem reaction
-
A concise and efficient method for the synthesis of 7-hydroxy-6H-naphtho[2,3-c]coumarin using available 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylethanone and Meldrum's acid has been developed. This transformation involved a tandem aldol reaction/lactonization/Friedel-Crafts reaction to form a lactone ring and a benzene ring. It showed high atom economy with water and acetone as the byproducts. Mechanism studies demonstrated two roles of Meldrum's acid: (i) as the reagent for the tandem reaction, and (ii) as the catalyst for the Friedel-Crafts reaction. Moreover, the hydroxyl group of 7-hydroxy-6H-naphtho[2,3-c]coumarin was further functionalized efficiently by arylethynyl, aryl, and cyano groups to furnish D-π-A compounds with excellent fluorescence emissions (ΦF= 0.14-0.78).

- Resolution of Vaulted Biaryl Ligands via Borate Esters of Quinine and Quinidine
-
Given the sudden and unexplained rise in the cost of (+)- A nd (-)-sparteine, an alternative method for the resolution of vaulted biaryls has been developed. This method involves the reaction of a racemic vaulted biaryl ligand with one equivalent of BH3·SMe2 and one equivalent of either quinine or quinidine. A precipitate then forms from the resulting mixture of diastereomeric borates as a result of differential solubilities. Hydrolysis of the precipitate then liberates the (S)-ligand in the case of quinine and the (R)-ligand in the case of quinidine, both with >99% ee. This method has been applied to 16 different vaulted biaryl ligands, including 10 whose preparation is described here for the first time. In addition, proof of principle has been demonstrated for the dynamic thermodynamic resolution of the vaulted biaryl ligands with this method in combination with a nonchiral copper(II) complex that can racemize the ligand.

- Ni-Catalyzed Regiodivergent and Stereoselective Hydroalkylation of Acyclic Branched Dienes with Unstabilized C(sp3) Nucleophiles
-
Two complementary regiodivergent [(P,N)Ni]-catalyzed hydroalkylations of branched dienes are reported. When amides are employed as unstabilized C(sp3) nucleophiles, a highly regioselective 1,4-addition process is favored. The addition products are obtained in high yield and with excellent stereocontrol of the internal olefin. With use of a chiral ligand and imides as carbon nucleophiles, a 3,4-addition protocol was developed, enabling construction of two contiguous tertiary stereocenters in a single step with moderate to high levels of diastereocontrol and excellent enantiocontrol. Both methods operate under mild reaction conditions, display a broad scope, and show excellent functional group tolerance. The synthetic potential of the 3,4-hydroalkylation reaction was established via a series of postcatalytic modifications.

- Discovery of γ-Lactam alkaloid derivatives as potential fungicidal agents targeting steroid biosynthesis
-
Biological control of plant pathogens is considered as one of the green and effective technologies using beneficial microorganisms or microbial secondary metabolites against plant diseases, and so microbial natural products have played important roles in the research and development of new and green agrochemicals. To explore the potential applications for natural γ-lactam alkaloids and their derivatives, 26 γ-lactams that have flexible substituent patterns were synthesized and characterized, and their in vitro antifungal activities against eight kinds of plant pathogens belonging to oomycetes, basidiomycetes, and deuteromycetes were fully evaluated. In addition, the high potential compounds were further tested using an in vivo assay against Phytophthora blight of pepper to verify a practical application for controlling oomycete diseases. The potential modes of action for compound D1 against Phytophthora capsici were also investigated using microscopic technology (optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy) and label-free quantitative proteomics analysis. The results demonstrated that compound D1 may be a potential novel fungicidal agent against oomycete diseases (EC50 = 4.9748 μg·mL-1 for P. capsici and EC50 = 5.1602 μg·mL-1 for Pythium aphanidermatum) that can act on steroid biosynthesis, which can provide a certain theoretical basis for the development of natural lactam derivatives as potential antifungal agents.

- Cobalt(II)-Catalyzed Stereoselective Olefin Isomerization: Facile Access to Acyclic Trisubstituted Alkenes
-
Stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes is a long-standing challenge in organic chemistry, due to the small energy differences between E and Z isomers of trisubstituted alkenes (compared with 1,2-disubstituted alkenes). Transition metal-catalyzed isomerization of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes can serve as an alternative approach to trisubstituted alkenes, but it remains underdeveloped owing to issues relating to reaction efficiency and stereoselectivity. Here we show that a novel cobalt catalyst can overcome these challenges to provide an efficient and stereoselective access to a broad range of trisubstituted alkenes. This protocol is compatible with both mono- and dienes and exhibits a good functional group tolerance and scalability. Moreover, it has proven to be a useful tool to construct organic luminophores and a deuterated trisubstituted alkene. A preliminary study of the mechanism suggests that a cobalt-hydride pathway is involved in the reaction. The high stereoselectivity of the reaction is attributed to both a π-πstacking effect and the steric hindrance between substrate and catalyst.

An efficient and convenient palladium-catalyzed direct intermolecular silylation of C(sp2)-H bonds by using disilanes as the silicon source with the assistance of a readily removable bidentate directing group is reported. This strategy provided a regio- and stereoselective protocol for exclusive synthesis of Z-vinylsilanes with reasonable to excellent yields and good functional group compatibility. Silylation of the isolated palladacycle intermediate revealed the Z-stereoselective pathway. Moreover, the practicality and effectiveness of this method were illustrated by a gram-scale experiment and further functionalization of the silylation product.

A novel series of N-sulfonyl homoserine lactone derivatives 7a–7m has been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for quorum sensing inhibitory activities through the violacein inhibition in Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. Compound 7e displayed the high level of inhibitory activity among all the compounds synthesized. Studies of structure-activity relationship indicated that compounds with thiophene group in side chain showed better activity than those substituted by furan, pyrrole, pyridyl, and phenethyl group. Thiophene substituted compounds which connected electron withdrawing group exhibited better inhibitory activity relate to those connected electron donating group. Further analysis indicated that compound bearing an electron withdrawing substituent at the position 2 of their thiophene ring exhibited superior activity against violacein production to those bearing the substituent at the position 3 and 4. Compound 7e in particular, with IC50 value of 6.19 μM, were identified as promising lead compounds for further development.

Furthermore, molecular docking and QSAR study by means of DS 3.5 (Discovery Studio 3.5, Accelrys, Co. Ltd) explored the binding modes and the structure and activity relationship (SAR) of these derivatives.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of 2-amino-4-m-bromoanilino-6-arylmethyl- 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents
-
A series of 2-amino-4-m-bromoanilino-6-benzyl pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines analogues 4-12 were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). These analogues were synthesized from the appropriate α-bromomethylbenzylketones via cyclocondensation with 2,6-diamino-4- pyrimidone to afford the 2-amino-4-oxo-6-substituted benzyl pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidines. Chlorination at the 4-position followed by displacement with 3-bromoaniline or 3-bromo-N-methylaniline and methylation of the 7-NH afforded the target compounds. Remarkably, dimethylation of both the 4-N and N7 afford whole cell EGFR inhibitors that are more cytotoxic than clinically used erlotinib and mono-methylation at the 4-N or N7 affords more cytotoxic whole cell PDGFR-β inhibitors than clinically used sunitinib. Methylation at either the 4-N or N7 position was detrimental to whole cell VEGFR-2 inhibition. The inhibitory data against the RTKs in this study demonstrates that methylation of the 4-NH and/or the 7-NH influences both the specificity and potency of RTK inhibition.

Substituents on the methyl or ethyl chain in general enhanced the reaction, unless sterically encumbered. The equivalent acylpiperidinium ions cyclised much slower and in lower yield.

- Aminopyridine-based c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitors with cellular activity and minimal cross-kinase activity
-
The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK-1, -2, and -3) are members of the mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase family of enzymes. They are activated in response to certain cytokines, as well as by cellular stresses including chemotoxins, peroxides, and irradiation. They have been implicated in the pathology of a variety of different diseases with an inflammatory component including asthma, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this work, high-throughput screening identified a JNK inhibitor with an excellent kinase selectivity profile. Using X-ray crystallography and biochemical screening to guide our lead optimization, we prepared compounds with inhibitory potencies in the low-double-digit nanomolar range, activity in whole cells, and pharmacokinetics suitable for in vivo use. The new compounds were over 1000-fold selective for JNK-1 and -2 over other MAP kinases including ERK2, p38α, and p38δ and showed little inhibitory activity against a panel of 74 kinases.

- Antiangiogenic and antitumor agents: Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel 2-amino-4-(3-bromoanilino)-6-benzylsubstituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases
-
Several different classes of growth factor receptors containing tyrosine kinases (RTK) are directly or indirectly involved in angiogenesis. Inhibition of these RTKs has provided a new paradigm in the treatment of tumors by restricting their growth and metastasis. We have designed, synthesized and evaluated eleven novel 2-amino-4-(3-bromoanilino)-6-substituted benzyl pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as the first in a series of RTK inhibitors. These analogues were synthesized from appropriate α-bromomethylbenzyl ketones by cyclocondensation with 2,6-diamino-4-pyrimidone to afford the 2-amino-4-oxo-6-substituted benzyl pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines. Chlorination of the 4-position followed by displacement with 3-bromoaniline afforded the target compounds. In some instances, the 2-amino moiety of the pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidines was protected prior to the chlorination and displacement followed by deprotection. The compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors VEGFR-2 (Flk-1, KDR) and VEGFR-1 (Flt-1); epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR); and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β). Selected compounds were also evaluated against the growth of A431 cells (which overexpress EGFR) in culture and as inhibitors of angiogenesis in the chicken embryo chorioallantonic membrane (CAM) assay. In each evaluation, a known standard compound was used as a comparison. Of the 11 analogues, five were more potent or equipotent as compared to standard compounds against the growth factor receptors. Two analogues showed superior inhibition of A431 cells in culture compared to the standard compounds. Three analogues were equipotent with the standard compound in the CAM assay and four of the analogues were dual inhibitors of RTKs. The structure-activity relationship for inhibition of different RTKs was quite distinct and different, and for VEGFR-2 and EGFR diametrically opposite. The inhibitory data against the RTKs in this study demonstrates that variation of the substituent(s) in the benzyl ring of these 2-amino-4-anilino 6-benzyl pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines does indeed control both the potency and specificity of inhibitory activity against RTKs.

- Electron ionization mass spectra of 1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl phenylacetates: A study of radical cation rearrangements
-
A series of esters, including three specifically deuterated esters, was prepared from 1-(1-naphthyl)ethanol and phenylacetic acids having different phenyl substituents. The electron ionization (EI) mass spectra revealed the formation of the expected cleavage ions, plus two types of rearrangement ions, The formation of one type of rearrangement ion from M+. is shown to involve a process in which a benzylic hydrogen atom migrates to the naphthyl side of the ester. Subsequent cleavage results in a radical cation, a, whose structure was investigated by tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) experiments. The other type of rearrangement ion, b, is apparently formed by a regular McLafferty-type process with hydrogen transfer from the ethyl chain to the acid side of the ester. An MS/MS experiment on molecular ions from 1-(1-naphthyl)ethanol, which are isobaric with a, showed the presence of two fragmentation pathways, one pathway being similar to that seen for the ester-derived ion a and the other a simple α-cleavage process. The mechanistic study was supported by accurate mass measurements on all relevant ions.

- Orally Active β-Lactam Inhibitors of Leukocyte Elastase-1. Activity of 3,3-Diethyl-2-azetidinones
-
A thorough analysis of the mechanism of inhibition of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) by a monocyclic β-lactam and the mechanism of β-lactam hydrolysis led to the preparation of potent and highly stable inhibitors of HLE.This work led to the identification of 4--3,3-diethyl-1-carbonyl>-2-azetidinone (2) as the first orally active inhibitor of human leukocyte elastase (HLE).Analogs of 2 with different substituents on the urea N were synthesized and evaluated for their activity in vitro against HLE as well as in vivo in a hamster lung hemorrhage model.Compounds with a methyl or a methoxy group in the para position of the benzene ring were very potent in both assays.The results are discussed on the basis of the proposed model for the binding of this class of inhibitors to HLE and a possible mechanism of inhibition is presented.

- Photocyclization of -(o-Tolyl)acetophenones: Triplet and 1,5-biradical reactivity
-
Several ring-substituted α-(o-tolyl)acetophenones undergo photocyclization to 2-indanol derivatives in high quantum efficiency in solution and in high chemical yield as solids. The mechanism for reaction involves triplet state δ-hydrogen atom abstraction that generates 1,5-biradicals. Quenching studies indicate that the n.π* excited triplets of these ketones react, with rate constants >108 s-1. Variations in triplet reactivity are ascribed to conformational equilibria that populate reactive and unreactive geometries to different extents. The α-aryl ring eclipses the carbonyl in the lowest energy geometry, from which the most favorable geometry for reaction can be reached by small bond rotations. α-(2,4,6-Triisopropylpheny)acetophenone forms the relatively long lived enol as well as indanol in solvent-dependent ratios; deuterium labeling indicates that the 1,5-biradical disproportionates to form enol. This does not happen with α-mesitylacetophenone, so its 54% cyclization quantum efficiency is ascribed to an internal triplet quenching that competes with hydrogen abstraction. This internal quenching is presumed to be of the charge-transfer type and does not appear to lead directly to 1,5-biradicals. 1-Methyl-2-phenyl-2-indanol is formed from α-(o-ethylpheny)acetophenone with a Z/E ratio of 20:1 in benzene and 2:1 in methanol. The 1,5-biradical intermediates were characterized by flash spectroscopy; they have lifetimes between 15 and 45 ns, with those derived from α-(o-isopropylphenyl) ketones being twice as long-lived as those derived from α-(o-methylphenyl) ketones, and show only a small solvent dependence. Biradical lifetimes and the diastereoselectivity of cyclization are interpreted in terms of biradical intersystem crossing occurring preferentially along the reaction coordinate for cyclization, such that the two processes effectively occur concurrently. The applicability of this concept to other biradicals is discussed.
