- Metal and Oxidant Free Construction of Substituted- and/or Polycyclic Indoles: A Useful Alternative to Bischler and Related Syntheses
-
A wide range of substituted indoles or polycyclic derivatives containing the indole core are easily accessible by acidic treatment of aromatic amines and 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes. Unlike the related indole-Bischler synthesis, the regioselectivity of the method here reported is unique and predictable, the yields are generally good and also electron withdrawing substituted indoles are smoothly recovered.

- PYRROLOBENZODIAZEPINE PRODRUGS AND ANTIBODY CONJUGATES THEREOF
-
The invention relates generally to pyrrolobenzodiazepine monomer and dimer prodrugs having a glutathione-activated disulfide prodrug moiety, a DT-diaphorase-activated quinone prodrug moiety or a reactive oxygen species-activated aryl boronic acid or aryl boronic ester prodrug moiety. The invention further relates to pyrrolobenzodiazepine prodrug dimer-antibody conjugates.

- Stereospecific approach to the synthesis of ring-A oxygenated sarpagine indole alkaloids. Total synthesis of the dimeric indole alkaloid P -(+)-dispegatrine and six other monomeric indole alkaloids
-
The first regio- and stereocontrolled total synthesis of the bisphenolic, bisquaternary alkaloid (+)-dispegatrine (1) has been accomplished in an overall yield of 8.3% (12 reaction vessels) from 5-methoxy-d-tryptophan ethyl ester (17). A crucial late-stage thallium(III) mediated intermolecular oxidative dehydrodimerization was employed in the formation of the C9-C9′ biaryl axis in 1. The complete stereocontrol observed in this key biaryl coupling step is due to the asymmetric induction by the natural sarpagine configuration of the monomer lochnerine (6) and was confirmed by both the Suzuki and the oxidative dehydrodimerization model studies on the tetrahydro β-carboline (35). The axial chirality of the lochnerine dimer (40) and in turn dispegatrine (1) was established by X-ray crystallography and was determined to be P(S). Additionally, the first total synthesis of the monomeric indole alkaloids (+)-spegatrine (2), (+)-10-methoxyvellosimine (5), (+)-lochnerine (6), lochvinerine (7), (+)-sarpagine (8), and (+)-lochneram (11) were also achieved via the common pentacyclic intermediate 16.

- Development of potent dipeptide-type SARS-CoV 3CL protease inhibitors with novel P3 scaffolds: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and docking studies
-
We report the design and synthesis of a series of dipeptide-type inhibitors with novel P3 scaffolds that display potent inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV 3CLpro. A docking study involving binding between the dipeptidic lead compound 4 and 3CLpro suggested the modification of a structurally flexible P3 N-(3-methoxyphenyl)glycine with various rigid P3 moieties in 4. The modifications led to the identification of several potent derivatives, including 5c-k and 5n with the inhibitory activities (Ki or IC50) in the submicromolar to nanomolar range. Compound 5h, in particular, displayed the most potent inhibitory activity, with a Ki value of 0.006 μM. This potency was 65-fold higher than the potency of the lead compound 4 (Ki = 0.39 μM). In addition, the Ki value of 5h was in very good agreement with the binding affinity (16 nM) observed in isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). A SAR study around the P3 group in the lead 4 led to the identification of a rigid indole-2-carbonyl unit as one of the best P3 moieties (5c). Further optimization showed that a methoxy substitution at the 4-position on the indole unit was highly favorable for enhancing the inhibitory potency.

- The enantiospecific, stereospecific total synthesis of the ring-A oxygenated sarpagine indole alkaloids (+)-majvinine, (+)-10-methoxyaffinisine, and (+)-Na-methylsarpagine, as well as the total synthesis of the Alstonia bisindole alkaloid macralstonidine
-
The first stereospecific, enantiospecific total synthesis of the ring-A oxygenated sarpagine indole alkaloids (+)-Na-methylsarpagine (8), (+)-majvinine (14), and (+)-10-methoxyaffinisine (49), as well as the first total synthesis of the Alstonia bisindole alkaloid macralstonidine (9), has been accomplished. This approach employed the Schoellkopf chiral auxiliary for the stereospecific construction of the desired D-(+)-tryptophan unit required for the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction. In addition, the strategy was doubly convergent for the enolate-mediated Pd0 coupling process and the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction can be employed to synthesize both macroline (2) and Na-methylsarpagine (8), the coupling of which provides macralstonidine (9). This approach to ring-A substituted alkoxyindole alkaloids should find wide application for the synthesis of other alkaloids for it is stereospecific and either enantiomer can be prepared with ease.
