- Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Regioselective C?H Allylation and Prenylation of Indoles at C4-Position
-
Herein, Rh(III)-catalyzed C4-selective C?H allylation and prenylation of indoles by using a weak carbonyl coordination directing group have been reported. By employing 5-methylene-1,3-dioxan-2-ones, 4-vinyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-ones and 2-methyl-2,3-butadiene as scalable cross-coupling partners, these divergent synthesis protocols proceed smoothly under redox-neutral reaction conditions, delivering various allylated and prenylated indoles in moderate to satisfied yields. This transformation exhibits high functional-groups compatibility and broad substrate scope. Scale-up experiment and mechanistic studies were also accomplished. (Figure presented.).

- 1,2,4-Oxadiazole Topsentin Analogs with Antiproliferative Activity against Pancreatic Cancer Cells, Targeting GSK3β Kinase
-
A new series of topsentin analogs, in which the central imidazole ring of the natural lead was replaced by a 1,2,4-oxadiazole moiety, was efficiently synthesized. All derivatives were pre-screened for antiproliferative activity against the National Cancer Institute (NCI-60) cell lines panel. The five most potent compounds were further investigated in various pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines, including SUIT-2, Capan-1, and Panc-1 cells, eliciting EC50 values in the micromolar and sub-micromolar range, associated with significant reduction of cell migration. These remarkable results might be explained by the effects of these new topsentin analogues on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition markers, including SNAIL-1/2 and metalloproteinase-9. Moreover, flow cytometric analysis after Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide staining demonstrated that these derivatives enhanced apoptosis of PDAC cells. Keeping with these data, the PathScan intracellular signaling and ELISA array revealed cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP and a significant inhibition of GSK3β phosphorylation, suggesting this kinase as a potential downstream target of our novel compounds. This was further supported by a specific assay for the evaluation of GSK3β activity, showing IC50 values for the most active compounds against this enzyme in the micromolar range.

- Tandem iridium-catalyzed decarbonylative c-h activation of indole: Sacrificial electron-rich ketone-assisted bis-arylsulfenylation
-
Described herein is a decarbonylative tandem C-H bis-arylsulfenylation of indole at the C2 and C4 C-H bonds through the use of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridium dichloride dimer ([Cp?IrCl2]2) catalyst and disulfides. A new sacrificial electron-rich adamantoyl-directing group facilitates indole C-H bis-functionalization with a traceless in situ removal. Various differently substituted disulfides can be easily accommodated in this reaction by a coordination to Ir(III) through the formation of six- and five-membered iridacycles at the C2 and C4 positions, respectively. Mechanistic studies show that a C-H activation-induced C-C activation is involved in the catalytic cycle.

- Design, synthesis and 3D-QSAR analysis of novel thiopyranopyrimidine derivatives as potential antitumor agents inhibiting A549 and Hela cancer cells
-
Four series of thiopyranopyrimidine AZD9291 derivatives containing acrylamide structure were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against A549 and Hela cancer cells. Most of the compounds exhibited excellent antiproliferative activity against A549 cells. Moreover, the compounds with indole ring fluorine substituted exhibited better antiproliferative activity against Hela cells. The most promising compound 23g exhibited excellent enzymatic inhibitory activity and selectivity for EGFRL858R/T790M double mutations. The IC50 value against EGFRL858R/T790M kinase was 16 nM. The compound 23g inhibits selectively against the mutated form of EGFR, with the selectivity more than 125-fold. Furthermore, compound 23g also inhibited A549 cells, Hela cells and H1975 cells proliferation at a low concentration, and the IC50 values were 0.057 μM, 0.104 μM and 0.916 μM, respectively. To further investigate the QSARs of thiopyranopyrimidine derivatives, the CoMFA (q [2] = 0.765, r2 = 0.965) and CoMSIA (q [2] = 0.875, r2 = 0.956) models on Hela cancer cells were established. The generated 3D-QSAR model was validated to be reliable and can be used for further design and optimization of novel and selective EGFR inhibitors.

An efficient strategy for N/O-(deutero)alkylation of indoles and phenols with alkoxides/alcohols as the alkylation reagents is described. The consecutive detosylation/alkylation transformations feature mild reaction conditions, high ipso-selectivity, and good functional group tolerance (>50 examples). A one-pot selective N-alkylation of unprotected indoles with alcohols and TsCl is also realized. The application of this method is demonstrated by the introduction of isotope-labeled (CD3 and 13CH3) groups using the readily accessible labeled alcohols and the synthesis of pharmaceuticals.

Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)L858R/T790M inhibitors are still the main drugs for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and these drugs have achieved remarkable clinical efficacy. However, there are still many patients suffering from drug-resistant mutations and drug side effects caused by NSCLC. In this study, guided by the molecular simulation, we applied a structure-based drug design strategy (SBDD) and optimized the structure to obtain a series of potent and selective EGFRL858R/T790M inhibitors. The most potent compound 18e demonstrated excellent kinase inhibitory activity and selectivity for EGFRL858R/T790M double mutants and the IC50 value reached nanomolar level. The selectivity of 18e against wild-type EGFR was near to 200-fold. In addition, compound 18e also inhibited H1975 cells proliferation at G2/M phase and induced apoptosis at a concentration of 0.25 μM, which makes it more valuable for potential lung cancer research.

- Site-Selective 1,1-Difunctionalization of Unactivated Alkenes Enabled by Cationic Palladium Catalysis
-
A palladium(II)-catalyzed 1,1-difunctionalization of unactivated terminal and internal alkenes via addition of two nucleophiles was developed using a cationic palladium(II) complex. The palladacycle generated in situ as a result of a regioselective addition of a nucleophile to the alkene can readily undergo regioselective β-hydride elimination and migratory insertion with a cationic palladium catalyst. The resulting η3-π-allyl palladium(II) complex is the key intermediate that reacts with a second nucleophile to furnish the desired 1,1-difunctionalization of the alkene. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a wide range of indoles and anilines add to alkene units of 3-butenoic or 4-pentenoic acid derivatives to afford the synthetically useful γ,γ- or δ,δ-difunctionalized products with excellent regiocontrol. Furthermore, by employing internal hydroxyl or acid groups and external carbon nucleophiles, this transformation enables unsymmetric 1,1-difunctionalization to forge challenging and important oxo quaternary carbon centers. Combining experiments and DFT calculations on the mechanism of the reaction is investigated in detail.

This synthetic method uses inexpensive and conveniently synthesizable bench-stable precatalysts of the form 1-NHR2-2-BF3-C6H4, commercially and synthetically accessible heteroarenes as substrates, and pinacolborane as the borylation reagent. The preparation of several borylated heterocycles on 2 and 50 g scales was achieved under solvent-free conditions without the use of Schlenk techniques or a glovebox. A kilogram-scale borylation of one of the heteroarene substrates was also achieved using this cost-effective green methodology to exemplify the fact that our methodology can be conveniently implemented in fine chemical industries.

A protocol for the catalytic synthesis of indole-fused benzosiloles starting from 2-aryl-substituted indoles and dihydrosilanes is reported. Compared to known procedures, this method does not require prefunctionalized starting materials and, hence, allows for a rapid access to those siloles. The net reaction is a 2-fold electrophilic C-H silylation catalyzed by cationic Ru-S complexes. Both reaction steps were separately investigated, and these results eventually led to the development of a two-step procedure. By preparing new Ru-S complexes with different weakly coordinating anions (WCAs), it is also shown that the latter can have a dramatic influence on the outcome of these reactions. Furthermore, the substrate scope of the new method is discussed.

This method is successfully extended to alkoxycarbonylation with ethyl chloroformate and carbamoylation with naphthalen-1-yl isocyanate, which afford ethyl indole-3-carboxylates and N-naphthalen-1-ylindole-3-carboxamides, respectively.

Their cytotoxic effect on MCF7 cells was further investigated in order to elucidate their mode of action. Results showed that the three compounds act as pro-apoptotic agents inducing a clear shift of viable cells towards early apoptosis, while not exerting necrotic effects. They also caused cell cycle perturbation with significant decrease in the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 and S phases, accompanied by a concomitant percentage increase of cells in the G2/M phase, and appearance of a subG1-cell population.

Compounds belonging to both series inhibited the growth of HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells at low micromolar concentrations, whereas they did not affect the viability of normal-like intestinal cells. A compound of the former series induced apoptosis, evident as externalization of plasma membrane phosphatidylserine (PS), and changes of mitochondrial trans-membrane potential, while blocking the cell cycle in G2/M phase. In contrast, a derivative of the latter series elicited distinct responses in accordance with the dose. Thus, low concentrations (GI30) induced morphological changes characteristic of autophagic death with massive formation of cytoplasmic acid vacuoles without apparent loss of nuclear material, and with arrest of cell cycle at the G1 phase, whereas higher concentrations (GI70) induced apoptosis with arrest of cell cycle at the G1 phase.

The first C2-selective alkynylation of indoles using the hypervalent iodine reagent triisopropylsilylethynyl-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (TIPS-EBX) with Pd(II) as a catalyst is described. This convenient and robust method gives a single-step access to substituted alkynyl indoles with very high C2 selectivity. The reaction is orthogonal to classical Pd(0) cross-coupling reactions, as it is tolerant to bromide and iodide substituents. The used silyl protecting group can be easily removed to give terminal acetylenes.

- Novel 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivative nortopsentin analogues: Synthesis and antitumor activity in peritoneal mesothelioma experimental models
-
In this study, we describe the synthesis of new nortopsentin analogues, 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives and their biological effects in experimental models of diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM), a rare and rapidly fatal disease, poorly responsive to conventional therapies. The three most active compounds, 1f (3-[2-(5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1,3- thiazol-4-yl]-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine), 3f (3-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1,3-thiazol- 4-yl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine), and 1l (3-[2-(5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H- indol-3-yl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b] pyridine), which were shown to act as cyclin-dependent kinase 1 inhibitors, consistently reduced DMPM cell proliferation and induced a caspase-dependent apoptotic response, with a concomitant reduction of the expression of the active Thr34- phosphorylated form of the antiapoptotic protein survivin. Moreover, the combined treatment of DMPM cells with 3f derivative and paclitaxel produced a synergistic cytotoxic effect, which was paralleled by an enhanced apoptotic response. In the mouse model, i.p. administration of 1f, 3f, and 1l derivatives was effective, resulting in a significant tumor volume inhibition of DMPM xenografts (range, 58-75%) at well-tolerated doses, and two complete responses were observed in each treatment group.

- A selective, tin-free radical mediated synthesis of indoles based on a sulfonate template
-
A synthesis of indoles based on a vinyl sulfonate template is described. The approach employs a sulfonate group which plays three discrete roles in the synthetic sequence. Firstly the highly electron-withdrawing sulfonate group behaves as an activating group for a 1,4-addition of an aniline to the unsaturated system. Secondly, the electron-withdrawing nature of the same group also allows it to behave as a radical stabilising group which facilitates radical cyclisation to an aromatic ring to yield a transient indoline. Finally, the pendant sulfonate group behaves as a leaving group to yield the indole.

- Copper-mediated fluorination of aryl iodides
-
The synthesis of aryl fluorides has been studied intensively because of the importance of aryl fluorides in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. The stability, reactivity, and biological properties of aryl fluorides can be distinct from those of the corresponding arenes. Methods for the synthesis of aryl fluorides, however, are limited. We report the conversion of a diverse set of aryl iodides to the corresponding aryl fluorides. This reaction occurs with a cationic copper reagent and silver fluoride. Preliminary results suggest this reaction is enabled by a facile reductive elimination from a cationic arylcopper(III) fluoride.

- Identification of trans-4-[1-[[7-fluoro-2-(1-methyl-3-indolyl)-6- benzoxazolyl]acetyl]-(4S)-fluoro-(2S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy]cyclohexanecarboxylic acid as a potent, orally active VLA-4 antagonist
-
For the purpose of obtaining orally potent VLA-4 inhibitors, we have carried out structural modification of the (N′-phenylureido)phenyl group in compound 1, where the group was found to be attributed to poor pharmacokinetic profile in our previous research. Through modification, we have identified several compounds with both potent in vitro activity and improved oral exposure. In particular, compound 7e with 7-fluoro-2-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3- yl)-1,3-benzoxazolyl group as a novel replacement of the (N′-phenylureido) phenyl group significantly inhibited eosinophil infiltration into bronchoalveolar lavage fluid at 15 mg/kg in an Ascaris-antigen-induced murine bronchial inflammatory model, and its efficacy was comparable to that of the anti-mouse α4 antibody (R1-2).

- A continuous methylation of phenols and N, H -heteroaromatic compounds with dimethyl carbonate
-
The methylation of phenolic substrates has been reevaluated using sulfolane as solvent instead of DMF. The change of solvent gave in all cases cleaner production of the anisole products in very good yields. The reaction requires 0.1 equiv of DBU, 2-3 equiv of DMC, and 2-5 vols of sulfolane depending on the substrate. At 220 C the reaction time is 10 min. Sulfolane is completely stable under the reaction conditions, excluding unwanted impurities from the solvent. The reaction could also be extended to NH-indole and NH-imidazole derivatives utilizing 0.1 equiv of DBU and 2-3 equiv of DMC in 2 vols of sulfolane. All NH-heteroaromatic compounds gave clean N-methylation.

- Synthesis of indole and biindolyl triflones: Trifluoromethanesulfonylation of indoles with Tf2O/TTBP (2,4,6-tri- tert -butylpyridine) system
-
A convenient synthesis of indole triflones is reported. N-Alkyl, aryl and N-H indole triflones were obtained in 82-96% yields by the Tf2O/TTBP System. Biindolyl triflones were accessed in 51-81% yields for the first time by simple treatment of the resulting indole triflones with a base and without any use of organometallic chemistry. An environmentally friendly solvent, Solkane 365/227, can be substituted for this process without any loss of efficiency.

- From a natural product lead to the identification of potent and selective benzofuran-3-yl-(indol-3-yl)maleimides as glycogen synthase kinase 3βinhibitors that suppress proliferation and survival of pancreatic cancer cells
-
Recent studies have demonstrated that glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) is overexpressed in human colon and pancreatic carcinomas, contributing to cancer cell proliferation and survival. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of benzofuran-3-yl-(indol-3-yl) maleimides, potent GSK-3β inhibitors. Some of these compounds show picomolar inhibitory activity toward GSK-3β and an enhanced selectivity against cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK-2). Selected GSK-3β inhibitors were tested in the pancreatic cancer cell lines MiaPaCa-2, BXPC-3, and HupT3. We determined that some of these compounds, namely compounds 5, 6, 11, 20, and 26, demonstrate antiproliferative activity against some or all of the pancreatic cancer cells at low micromolar to nanomolar concentrations. We found that the treatment of pancreatic cancer cells with GSK-3β inhibitors 5 and 26 resulted in suppression of GSK-3β activity and a distinct decrease of the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) expression, leading to significant apoptosis. The present data suggest a possible role for GSK-3β inhibitors in cancer therapy, in addition to their more prominent applications in CNS disorders.

- Structure-based design leads to the identification of lithium mimetics that block mania-like effects in rodents. Possible new GSK-3β therapies for bipolar disorders
-
More than two million American adults, or approximately one percent of the population 18 years or older, suffer from bipolar disorder. Current treatments include the so-called "mood stabilizers," lithium and valproic acid. Both are relatively dated drugs that are only partially effective and produce various undesirable side effects including weight gain. Based upon continued efforts to understand the molecular target for lithium, it now appears that specific inhibitors of the enzyme glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) may mimic the therapeutic action of mood stabilizers and might therefore allow for the design of improved drugs for treating patients with bipolar disorder as well as certain neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, the pro-apoptotic properties of the GSK-3 enzyme suggest the possible use of such inhibitors as neuroprotective agents. In fact, neuroprotection may contribute to the treatment of mood disorders. The present chemistry, modeling, and biology efforts have identified 3-benzofuranyl-4-indolylmaleimides as potent and relatively selective GSK-3β inhibitors. The best ligand in this series (having a Ki value of 4.6 nM against GSK-3β) was studied in a novel mouse model of mania that has recently been validated with several clinically effective mood stabilizers. This study presents the first demonstration of the efficacy of a GSK-3β inhibitor in this mouse model of mania. Selective brain penetrable GSK-3 ligands like those described herein become valuable research tools in better defining the role of this multifaceted kinase in both physiological and pathophysiological events.
