The synthesis and biological activity of a series of benzofuro[3,2- c]pyridines and a benzothieno[3,2-c]pyridine are described. These compounds exhibit high affinity for the α2-adrenoceptor, with high selectivity versus the α1-receptor. Compound 1 also shows potent in vivo central activity and has been selected for further biological and clinical evaluation.

- 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.

- 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.

- Preliminary structure - Activity relationships and biological evaluation of novel antitubercular indolecarboxamide derivatives against drug-susceptible and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains
-
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, with approximately one-third of the world's population infected with latent TB. This is further aggravated by HIV coinfection and the emergence of multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant (MDR and XDR, respectively) TB; hence the quest for highly effective antitubercular drugs with novel modes of action is imperative. We report herein the discovery of an indole-2-carboxamide analogue, 3, as a highly potent antitubercular agent, and the subsequent chemical modifications aimed at establishing a preliminary body of structure-activity relationships (SARs). These efforts led to the identification of three molecules (12-14) possessing an exceptional activity in the low nanomolar range against actively replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values lower than those of the most prominent antitubercular agents currently in use. These compounds were also devoid of apparent toxicity to Vero cells. Importantly, compound 12 was found to be active against the tested XDR-TB strains and orally active in the serum inhibition titration assay.

- Design, synthesis, and SAR of cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane derivatives as potent factor Xa inhibitors. Part I: Exploration of 5-6 fused rings as alternative S1 moieties
-
A series of cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane derivatives were synthesized with the aim of optimizing previously disclosed factor Xa (fXa) inhibitors. The exploration of 5-6 fused rings as alternative S1 moieties resulted in two compounds which demonstrated improved solubility and reduced food effect compared to the clinical candidate, compound A. Herein, we describe the synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR), together with the physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of some prospective compounds.

- 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.
