- Prodrugs for nitroreductase-based cancer therapy-3: Antitumor activity of the novel dinitroaniline prodrugs/Ssap-NtrB enzyme suicide gene system: Synthesis, in vitro and in silico evaluation in prostate cancer
-
Prodrugs for targeted tumor therapies have been extensively studied in recent years due to not only maximising therapeutic effects on tumor cells but also reducing or eliminating serious side effects on healthy cells. This strategy uses prodrugs which are safe for normal cells and form toxic metabolites (drugs) after selective reduction by enzymes in tumor tissues. In this study, prodrug candidates (1-36) containing nitro were designed, synthesized and characterized within the scope of chemical experiments. Drug-likeness properties of prodrug candidates were analyzed using DS 2018 to investigate undesired toxicity effects. In vitro cytotoxic effects of prodrug canditates were performed with MTT assay for human hepatoma cells (Hep3B) and prostate cancer cells (PC3) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as healthy control. Non-toxic compounds (3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 21–23), and also compounds (1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 20 and 24) which had low toxic effects, were selected to examine their suitability as prodrug canditates. The reduction profiles and kinetic studies of prodrug/Ssap-NtrB combinations were performed with biochemical analyses. Then, selected prodrug/Ssap-NtrB combinations were applied to prostate cancer cells to determine toxicity. The results of theoretical, in vitro cytotoxic and biochemical studies suggest 14/Ssap-NtrB, 22/Ssap-NtrB and 24/Ssap-NtrB may be potential prodrug/enzyme combinations for nitroreductase (Ntr)-based prostate cancer therapy.

- Deep Eutectic Solvent/Lipase: Two Environmentally Benign and Recyclable Media for Efficient Synthesis of N-Aryl Amines
-
Abstract: Deep eutectic solvent (DES)/lipase catalyzed efficient synthesis of N-aryl amines from electron deficient aryl chlorides and amines at ambient temperature is reported. Its significant features include excellent yields of products, use of biodegradable, non-toxic and recyclable catalysts, thereby avoiding toxic metal catalyst/solvents making these protocols environmentally benign.

- Efficient synthetic route to aromatic secondary amines: Via Pd/RuPhos/TBAB-catalyzed cross coupling
-
Herein, C-N cross coupling methodology was developed for the synthesis of a diverse range of nitro-substituted secondary amines. A variety of strained, aliphatic, and aromatic precursors were effectively used, with low catalyst and ligand loading ratios resulting in product formation in good yield. This method can act as an alternative to nucleophilic addition reactions. To cross couple electron-donating, electron-withdrawing, neutral, and aliphatic primary amines with alkyl/aryl halides, a combination of RuPhos and TBAB was carefully tuned. Further, characterization of these molecules was carried out using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 19F-NMR, single crystal XRD, and C, H, and N elemental analyses.

- Reaction kinetics investigation of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with substituted anilines in ethyl acetate-methanol mixtures using linear and nonlinear free energy relationships
-
Aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with para-substituted and meta-substituted anilines was kinetically investigated in the mixtures of ethyl acetate and methanol at room temperature. The correlation of second-order rate coefficients with Hammett's substituent constants yields a fairly linear straight line with negative slope in different mole fractions of ethyl acetate-methanol mixtures. The measured rate coefficients of the reaction demonstrated a dramatic variation in ethyl acetate-methanol mixtures with the increasing mole fraction of ethyl acetate. Linear free energy relationship (LFER) investigations confirm that polarity has a major effect on the reaction rate whereas the hydrogen-bonding ability of the media has a slight effect on it. Nonlinear free energy relationship based on preferential solvation hypothesis showed differences between the microsphere solvation of the solute and the bulk composition of the solvents, and non-ideal behavior is observed in the trend of the rate coefficients, which cover the LFER results.

- KINETICS OF THE REACTION OF 2-(2,4-DINITROPHENOXY)-N-ETHYLPYRIDINIUM TETRAPHENYLBORATE WITH AROMATIC AMINES IN ACETONITRILE
-
The reactions of 2-(2,4-dinitrophenoxy)-N-ethylpyridinium salts with arylamines take place by nucleophilic substitution at a carbon atom of the benzene ring with the formation of 2,4-dinitrodiphenylamine derivatives.The sensitivity coefficient (ρ0) to the induction effect of the substituents in the arylamine does not depend on the temperature in the range of 10-55 deg C and is equal to -6.89.The constant of the leaving group (τAr) for the 2-hydroxy-N-ethylpyridinium cation amounts to 1.66.

- REACTIONS BETWEEN 1-HALOGENO-2,4-DINITROBENZENES AND SUBSTITUTED ANILINES: KINETICS AND EVIDENCE FOR THE PRESENCE OF A MOLECULAR COMPLEX
-
The title reactions (halogen = F or Cl) have been studied in benzene and in chloroform.The experimental reaction order in aniline is higher than 2 in every case (the value 3 is reached for the fluoro derivative in both solvents).Spectroscopic evidence (1H NMR and UV) indicates the presence of a molecular complex the formation of which (together with a base-catalysed step) is probably responsible for the observed kinetic features.The substituent effect (in aniline) is discussed.
