- Synthesis of substituted tryptanthrin via aryl halides and amines as antitumor and anti-MRSA agents
-
The natural alkaloid, tryptanthrin (indolo[2,1-b]quinazoline-6,12-dione), and its analogues are found to exhibit potent antitumor and anti-MRSA activities. An efficient and convenient method has been developed for the synthesis of tryptanthrin D-ring derivatives through the reaction of substituted tryptanthrins and secondary amines in moderate to good yields. Some of the new compounds exhibited antitumor activities against the human tumor cell lines A549, HCT116 and MDA-MB-231, with mean IC50 values at low micromolar levels. In addition, some of the compounds showed excellent anti-MRSA activities and were more effective than vancomycin, with MIC values of 0.31–1.25 μg/mL for Mu50,RN4220, and Newman strains.

- Utilizing Solubility differences to achieve regiocontrol in the synthesis of substituted quinoline-4-carboxylic acids
-
A practical method for the regiocontrolled synthesis of substituted quinoline-4-carboxylic acids is described. Solubility differences between the product quinoline regioisomers enable their facile separation, thus avoiding any challenging chromatographic purifications and allowing access to highly substituted quinoline compounds in three steps from commercially available anilines.

- Synthesis and antifungal activity of 1-aminomethyl-3-{4- (chlorobenzyloxy) benzoylhydrazono}-4, 5/5, 6-dichloroindolin-2- ones
-
3-{4-(Chlorobenzyloxy) benzoylhydrazono}-4,5/5,6-dichloroindolin-2-ones 1a,b-5a,b, were synthesized by the condensation of 4-(chlorobenzyloxy) benzoylhydrazines and 4, 5/5, 6-dichloroindolin-2,3-diones. Compounds 1a,b-5a,b when subjected to Mannich reaction with secondary heterocyclic amines in the presence of formaldehyde, furnished 1-aminomethyl-3-{4-(chlorobenzyloxy) benzoylhydrazono}-4, 5/5, 6-dichloroindolin-2- ones 6a,b-20a,b. The structures of the compounds have been established by means of spectral (IR and 1H NMR) and elemental analysis. The compounds have been screened for their antifungal potential against human pathogenic fungi.

- Structural Basis for the Synthesis of Indirubins as Potent and Selective Inhibitors of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 and Cyclin-Dependent Kinases
-
Pharmacological inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) and cyclin-dependent kinases have a promising potential for applications against several neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Indirubins, a family of bis-indoles isolated from various natural sources, are potent inhibitors of several kinases, including GSK-3. Using the cocrystal structures of various indirubins with GSK-3β, CDK2 and CDK5/p25, we have modeled the binding of indirubins within the ATP-binding pocket of these kinases. This modeling approach provided some insight into the molecular basis of indirubins' action and selectivity and allowed us to forecast some improvements of this family of bis-indoles as kinase inhibitors. Predicted molecules, including 6-substituted and 5,6-disubstituted indirubins, were synthesized and evaluated as CDK and GSK-3 inhibitors. Control, kinase-inactive indirubins were obtained by introduction of a methyl substitution on N1.
