A novel series of clioquinol-moracin hybrids were designed and synthesized by fusing the pharmacophores of clioquinol and moracin M, and their activities as multitarget-directed ligands against Alzheimer's disease were evaluated. Biological activity results demonstrated that these hybrids possessed significant inhibitory activities against phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) and Aβ aggregation as well as remarkable antioxidant effects and excellent blood-brain barrier permeability. The optimal compound, 18d (WBQ5187), exhibited excellent PDE4D inhibitory potency (IC50 = 0.32 μM), significant antioxidant effects, appropriate biometal chelating functions, and interesting properties that modulated self- and metal-induced Aβ aggregation. Two-dimensional NMR studies revealed that 18d had significant interactions with Aβ1-42 at the R5, H6, H14, Q15, and F20 residues. Furthermore, this typical hybrid possessed preeminent neuroprotective effects against inflammation in microglial cells. Most importantly, oral administration of 18d·HCl demonstrated marked improvements in cognitive and spatial memory in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease and protected hippocampal neurons from necrosis.

For the first time, both antipodes of the isoflavans, equol and sativan were synthesized in >98% ee with good overall yields starting from readily available starting materials. The chiral isoflavan, (?)-equol is produced from soy isoflavones, formonentin and daidzein by the action of intestinal bacteria in certain groups of population and other chiral isoflavans are reported from various phytochemical sources. To produce these chiral isoflavans in gram quantities, Evans’ enantioselective aldol condensation was used as a chiral-inducing step to introduce the required chirality at the C-3 position. Addition of chiral boron-enolate to substituted benzaldehyde resulted in functionalized syn-aldol products with >90% yield and excellent diastereoselectivity. Functional group transformations followed by intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction and deprotection steps resulted the target compounds, S-(?)-equol and S-(+)-sativan, with high degree of enantiopurity. By simply switching the chiral auxiliary to (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one and following the same synthetic sequence the antipodes, R-(+)-equol and R-(?)-sativan were achieved. Both enantiomers are of interest from a clinical and pharmacological perspective and are currently being developed as nutraceutical and pharmacological agents. This flexible synthetic process lends itself quite readily to the enantioselective syntheses of other biologically active C-3 chiral isoflavans.

The synthesis of the title unsymmetrical benzils, scandione and calophione A, is described. The key processes involve intramolecular cyclization reaction of the carbanion at the benzylic position of the arylbenzyl ether to the adjacent ester group followed by oxidation. The palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization was also used to establish the benzofuran unit of calophione A. A convergent synthesis of the title benzils, which embody the 1,2-diarylethane-1,2-dione system, is reported. Key steps involve intramolecular cyclization of the carbanion at the benzylic position of the arylbenzyl ether to the adjacent ester group followed by oxidation. The palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization was also studied to establish the benzofuran unit of calophione A. Copyright

Novel intermolecular and intramolecular generations of ortho-quinone methides and their formal [4+2]-cycloaddition reactions with olefins catalyzed by PtCl4 and AuCl3 under mild conditions have been developed. Good to excellent yields (up to 99%) and diastereoselectivity (up to >99:1) of the chromans were obtained. PtCl4 was found to be effective and compatible with various functional groups present in the substrates. A mechanism accounting for its catalytic cycle is proposed and discussed.

(Chemical Equation Presented) 2-Arylchromans were readily prepared from the hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of styrenes with the ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) which, in turn, were generated by treating the MOM-protected benzylacetate derivatives with p-TsOH immobilized on silica (PTS-Si) in toluene under mild conditions (0°C to rt). The corresponding chromans were obtained in moderate to excellent yields (42-97%) and in moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity (up to >99:1).
