- (Trifluoromethylselenyl)methylchalcogenyl as Emerging Fluorinated Groups: Synthesis under Photoredox Catalysis and Determination of the Lipophilicity
-
The synthesis of molecules bearing (trifluoromethylselenyl)methylchalcogenyl groups is described via an efficient two-step strategy based on a metal-free photoredox catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylselenolation with good yields up to 88 %, which raised to 98 % in flow chemistry conditions. The flow methods allowed also to scale up the reaction. The mechanism of this key reaction was studied. The physicochemical characterization of these emerging groups was performed by determining their Hansch–Leo lipophilicity parameters with high values up to 2.24. This reaction was also extended to perfluoroalkylselenolation with yields up to 95 %. Finally, this method was successfully applied to the functionalization of relevant bioactive molecules such as tocopherol or estrone derivatives.

- Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of phenoxyacetyl derivatives of amines, including aminoalkanols and amino acids
-
A series of 17 new phenoxyacetamides has been prepared via multistep chemical synthesis as a continuation of the research carried out by our group on di- and tri-substituted phenoxyalkyl and phenoxyacetyl derivatives of amines. The obtained compounds vary in an amide component, for example aminoalkanol or (un)modified amino acid moieties were introduced. The structures of selected products were confirmed by means of crystallographic methods. All 17 compounds were the subject of preliminary screening for potential anticonvulsant activity (MES, 6 Hz and/or scMET tests) and neurotoxicity (rotarod) in mice after intraperitoneal administration, while several active compounds were subsequently examined in additional models (e.g. MES and rotarod-rats, p.o. or i.p., hippocampal kindling-rats, i.p.). Finally, safety studies (cytotoxicity and cell proliferation assays on astrocytes, metabolic stability assessment, mutagenicity evaluation) were performed for several active compounds, including the most promising one (R-(?)-2-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-N-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)acetamide, MES ED50 = 12.00 mg per kg b.w., rats, p.o.).

- Radical decarboxylative fluorination of aryloxyacetic acids using N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide and a photosensitizer
-
Fluorinated methoxy arenes are emerging as important motifs in both agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. A novel technique for the synthesis of monofluoromethoxy arenes through the direct fluorodecarboxylation of carboxylic acids was developed that uses photosensitizers and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI). Utilization of the oxidatively mild fluorine transfer agent NFSI enabled the synthesis of fluoromethyl ethers that were previously inaccessible with decarboxylative fluorinations performed with Selectfluor. Mechanistic studies are consistent with the photosensitizer effecting oxidation of the aryloxyacetic acid.

- Direct C-F bond formation using photoredox catalysis
-
We have developed the first example of a photoredox catalytic method for the formation of carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds. The mechanism has been studied using transient absorption spectroscopy and involves a key single-electron transfer from the 3MLCT (triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer) state of Ru(bpy)32+ to Selectfluor. Not only does this represent a new reaction for photoredox catalysis, but the mild reaction conditions and use of visible light also make it a practical improvement over previously developed UV-mediated decarboxylative fluorinations.

- Preliminary evaluation of anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity of some 1,4-substituted piperazine derivatives
-
A series of 1,4-piperazine derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole seizure threshold (ScMet) assays and for neurotoxicity (TOX). The compounds were only moderately effective. The anticonvulsant activity was accompanied by neurotoxicity. 1-[(4-Chlor-3- methylphenoxy)-acetyl]-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-piperazine was also evaluated in six hertz seizure test (6-Hz) and showed good activity. At the dose of 100 mg/kg b. w. the compound produced 100% protection after 0.5 h without neurotoxic effect.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a novel series of HIV-1 protease inhibitors encompassing ABT-378 (Lopinavir)
-
The HIV protease inhibitor ABT-378 (Lopinavir) has a 2,6-dimethylphenoxyacetyl group in the P-2′ position. Analogues in which this group is replaced with various substituted phenyl or heteroaryl groups were synthesized and the structure-activity relationships explored.
