- A highly practical route to 2-methylchromones from 2-acetoxybenzoic acids
-
2-Methylchromones were accessed via a keto ester condensation on 2-acetoxybenzoyl chloride, followed by cyclization and decarboxylation. No column chromatography was required in the process.

- Novel quinolizidine salicylamide influenza fusion inhibitors
-
A novel series of quinolizidine salicylamides was synthesized as specific inhibitors of the H1 subtype of influenza A viruses. These inhibitors inhibit the pH-induced fusion process, thereby blocking viral entry into host cells. Compound 16 was the most active inhibitor in this series with an EC50 of 0.25 μg/mL in plaque reduction assay. The synthesis and the SAR of these compounds are discussed.

- Synthesis and biological activity of novel 1,3-benzoxazine derivatives as K+ channel openers
-
A new series of 1,3-benzoxazine derivatives with a 2-pyridine 1-oxide group at C4 was designed to explore novel K+ channel openers. Synthesis was carried out by using a palladium(0)-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation reaction of imino-triflates with organozinc reagents and via a new one-pot 1,3-benzoxazine skeleton formation reaction of benzoylpyridines. The compounds were tested for vasorelaxant activity in tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA) and BaCl2-induced and high KCl-induced contraction of rat aorta to identify potential K+ channel openers, and also for oral hypotensive effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats. An electron- withdrawing group with the proper shape at C6 and a methyl or halogens group at C7 of the 1,3-benzoxazine nucleus were required for the development of optimal vasorelaxant and hypotensive activity. In particular, 2-(6-bromo-7- chloro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-yl)pyridine 1-oxide (71) showed more potent vasorelaxant activity (EC50=0.14 μM) against TEA and BaCL2- induced contraction and longer-lasting hypotensive effects than cromakalim (1).
