- Synthesis and AChE inhibitory activity of N-glycosyl benzofuran derivatives
-
Six N-glycosyl benzofuran derivatives were synthesized by the catalysis of organic bases and condensation agents. The benzofuran derivatives were obtained by the reaction of various salicylaldehydes in acetone, and then hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acids. Finally, the target compounds were synthesized by acylation and the reaction conditions were optimized. The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity of the desired compounds was tested using Ellman's method. Most of the compounds showed acetylcholinesterase-inhibition activity; N-(2,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)benzofuran-2-carbxamide (5a) showed the best acetylcholinesterase inhibition, with an inhibitory rate of 84%.

- Reaction of aryl-2-hydroxypropenoic derivatives with boron tribromide
-
(Z)-Mono, di or trimethoxyphenyl-2-hydroxypropenoic acids 1a-d gave mixtures of (E) and (Z) mono, di or trihydroxyphenyl-2-hydroxypropenoic acids 2a-d when treated with boron tibromide. The isomerisation proceeds during the work-up and depends on the duration of the hydrolysis and the number of oxygens on the aromatic ring. When the aromatic ring was substituted with a methoxy group at the ortho position, a cyclisation occurs, and 3-hydroxycoumarins 3 and benzofuran-2-carboxylic acids 4 can be obtained. 3-Hydroxycoumarin 3a can also be obtained almost quatitatively from the reaction of methyl 3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-epoxypropanoate with boron tribromide.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel shikonin-benzo[b]furan derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors targeting the colchicine binding site
-
A novel series of shikonin-benzo[b]furan derivatives were designed and synthesized as tubulin polymerization inhibitors, and their biological activities were evaluated. Most compounds revealed the comparable anti-proliferation activities against the cancer cell lines to that of shikonin and simultaneously low cytotoxicity to non-cancer cells. Among them, compound 6c displayed powerful anti-cancer activity with the IC50 value of 0.18 μM against HT29 cells, which was significantly better than that of the reference drugs shikonin and CA-4. What's more, 6c could inhibit tubulin polymerization and compete with [3H] colchicine in binding to tubulin. Further biological studies depicted that 6c can induce cell apoptosis and cell mitochondria depolarize, regulate the expression of apoptosis related proteins in HT29 cells. Besides, 6c actuated the HT29 cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, and influenced the expression of the cell-cycle related protein. Moreover, 6c displayed potent inhibition on cell migration and tube formation that contributes to the antiangiogenesis. These results prompt us to consider 6c as a potential tubulin polymerization inhibitor and is worthy for further study.

- Tandem Synthesis of 2-Carboxybenzofurans via Sequential Cu-Catalyzed C-O Coupling and Mo(CO)6-Mediated Carbonylation Reactions
-
A modular tandem synthesis of 2-carboxybenzofurans from 2-gem-dibromovinylphenols has been established based on a sequence of Cu-catalyzed intramolecular C-O coupling and Mo(CO)6-mediated intermolecular carbonylation reactions. This protocol allowed one-step access to a broad variety of functionalized benzofuran-2-carboxylic acids, esters, and amides in good to excellent yields under Pd- and CO gas-free conditions.

- Catalytic Asymmetric Dearomatization by Visible-Light-Activated [2+2] Photocycloaddition
-
A novel method for the catalytic asymmetric dearomatization by visible-light-activated [2+2] photocycloaddition with benzofurans and one example of a benzothiophene is reported, thereby providing chiral tricyclic structures with up to four stereocenters including quaternary stereocenters. The benzofurans and the benzothiophene are functionalized at the 2-position with a chelating N-acylpyrazole moiety which permits the coordination of a visible-light-activatable chiral-at-rhodium Lewis acid catalyst. Computational molecular modeling revealed the origin of the unusual regioselectivity and identified the heteroatom in the heterocycle to be key for the regiocontrol.

- The synthesis and transition temperatures of 2-(4-alkyl- and 4-alkoxy-phenyl)-5-cyano-1-benzofurans and related diaryl-1-benzofurans - An assessment of how deviations from linearity and conformational effects in a core unit affect mesogenicity
-
The synthesis and transition temperatures are reported for several 2-(4-alkyl- and 4-alkoxy-phenyl)-5-cyano-1-benzofurans, 2-(4′-alkylbiphenyl-4-yl)-5-cyano- and 5-(4′-alkylbiphenyl-4-yl)-2-cyano-1-benzofurans, and for compounds with other combinations of terminal alkyl and cyano groups in 2,5-disubstituted-1-benzofurans containing two phenyl units, some isolated examples of related cyclohexane systems are also presented. The mesogenic behaviour of these compounds and several intermediates (e.g. amides, acids and esters) is discussed and the transition temperatures are rationalised on the following basis (a) 1-benzofuran is a superior core unit to benzene, (b) 2,5-disubstitution in 1-benzofuran gives a bent core which adversely affects mesogenicity, to an extent which depends on its position in the core, (c) antiparallel associations in terminal cyano compounds can eliminate the disadvantage of a bent core structure, (d) 2-aryl-1-benzofurans have negligible inter-annular twist but 5-aryl-1-benzofurans have similar inter-annular twist to that in biphenyls.

- α-Adrenoreceptor Reagents. 2. Effects of Modification of the 1,4-Benzodioxan Ring System on α-Adrenoreceptor Activity
-
Modification of the 1,4-benzodioxan ring present in RX 781094 (1) has not previously been considered.This paper describes a number of analogues of this ring system, including compounds in which one of the oxygen atoms has been replaced by a methylene group and also those in which the ring size has been changed to give, for example, furan and thiophene derivatives.The dihydroxybenzofuranylimidazoline compound 7 is the only analogue possesing presynaptic antagonist potency and selectivity comparable to that of 1.In view of this result, a number of derivatives was prepared to determine the structure-activity relationships within this series.Many derivatives, as well as the parent compound 7, were found to possess presynaptic α2-adrenoreceptor antagonist and postsynaptic α1-adrenoreceptor partial agonist properties.Two of the selective presynaptic antagonists,13 and 14, possess greater potency and selectivity than that possessed by 1.The 5-chloro derivative 25 is twice as potent as 1 after oral administration but only about half as potent when given intravenously.
