- A sustainable and simple catalytic system for direct alkynylation of C(sp2)-H bonds with low nickel loadings
-
A sustainable and simple catalytic system for the atom-economical alkynylation of benzamides with low nickel loadings is described. No organic or metallic oxidants and expensive ligands are required. A broad range of benzamides and bromoalkynes bearing various synthetically useful functional groups are compatible with this reaction. The versatility of this operationally simple protocol has been further demonstrated by the controllable mono- and di-alkynylation. Importantly, substrate/catalyst ratios of up to 200, and a turnover number of 196 were achieved, highlighting the potential of this protocol for synthetic applications.

- Remarkably Efficient Iridium Catalysts for Directed C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H Borylation of Diverse Classes of Substrates
-
Here we describe the discovery of a new class of C-H borylation catalysts and their use for regioselective C-H borylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic systems. The new catalysts have Ir-C(thienyl) or Ir-C(furyl) anionic ligands instead of the diamine-type neutral chelating ligands used in the standard C-H borylation conditions. It is reported that the employment of these newly discovered catalysts show excellent reactivity and ortho-selectivity for diverse classes of aromatic substrates with high isolated yields. Moreover, the catalysts proved to be efficient for a wide number of aliphatic substrates for selective C(sp3)-H bond borylations. Heterocyclic molecules are selectively borylated using the inherently elevated reactivity of the C-H bonds. A number of late-stage C-H functionalization have been described using the same catalysts. Furthermore, we show that one of the catalysts could be used even in open air for the C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H borylations enabling the method more general. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the active catalytic intermediate is the Ir(bis)boryl complex, and the attached ligand acts as bidentate ligand. Collectively, this study underlines the discovery of new class of C-H borylation catalysts that should find wide application in the context of C-H functionalization chemistry.

- Structure-Activity Relationship of Phenylpyrazolones against Trypanosoma cruzi
-
Chagas disease is a neglected parasitic disease caused by the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and currently affects around 8 million people. Previously, 2-isopropyl-5-(4-methoxy-3-(pyridin-3-yl)phenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (NPD-0227) was discovered to be a sub-micromolar inhibitor (pIC50=6.4) of T. cruzi. So far, SAR investigations of this scaffold have focused on the alkoxy substituent, the pyrazolone nitrogen substituent and the aromatic substituent of the core phenylpyrazolone. In this study, modifications of the phenyldihydropyrazolone scaffold are described. Variations were introduced by installing different substituents on the phenyl core, modifying the geminal dimethyl and installing various bio-isosteres of the dihydropyrazolone group. The anti T. cruzi activity of NPD-0227 could not be surpassed as the most potent compounds show pIC50 values of around 6.3. However, valuable additional SAR data for this interesting scaffold was obtained, and the data suggest that a scaffold hop is feasible as the pyrazolone moiety can be replaced by a oxazole or oxadiazole with minimal loss of activity.

- Meta -Substituted benzenesulfonamide: A potent scaffold for the development of metallo-β-lactamase ImiS inhibitors
-
Metallo-β-lactamase (MβL) ImiS contributes to the emergence of carbapenem resistance. A potent scaffold, meta-substituted benzenesulfonamide, was constructed and assayed against MβLs. The twenty-one obtained molecules specifically inhibited ImiS (IC50 = 0.11-9.3 μM); 2g was found to be the best inhibitor (IC50 = 0.11 μM), and 1g and 2g exhibited partially mixed inhibition with Ki of 8.0 and 0.55 μM. The analysis of the structure-activity relationship revealed that the meta-substitutes improved the inhibitory activity of the inhibitors. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) assays showed that 2g reversibly inhibited ImiS. The benzenesulfonamides exhibited synergistic antibacterial effects against E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells with ImiS, resulting in a 2-4-fold reduction in the MIC of imipenem and meropenem. Also, mouse experiments showed that 2g had synergistic efficacy with meropenem and significantly reduced the bacterial load in the spleen and liver after a single intraperitoneal dose. Tracing the ImiS in living E. coli cells by RS at a super-resolution level (3D-SIM) showed that the target was initially associated on the surface of the cells, then there was a high density of uniform localization distributed in the cytosol of cells, and it finally accumulated in the formation of inclusion bodies at the cell poles. Docking studies suggested that the sulfonamide group acted as a zinc-binding group to coordinate with Zn(ii) and the residual amino acid within the CphA active center, tightly anchoring the inhibitor at the active site. This study provides a highly promising scaffold for the development of inhibitors of ImiS, even the B2 subclasses of MβLs.

An efficient and practical one-pot strategy to produce highly substituted 1-naphthylamines via sequential palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative amination/intramolecular 6-endo-dig benzannulation reactions has been described. In this reaction, a broad range of electron-rich, electron-neutral, and electron-deficient o-alkynylarylketones react well with N-hydroxyl aryl/alkylamides to give a diversity of 1-naphthylamines in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. The gram-scale synthesis, with benefits such as undiminished product yield and easy transformation, illustrated the practicality of this method.

- Discovery of a Novel Mycobacterial F-ATP Synthase Inhibitor and its Potency in Combination with Diarylquinolines
-
The F1FO-ATP synthase is required for growth and viability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is a validated clinical target. A mycobacterium-specific loop of the enzyme's rotary γ subunit plays a role in the coupling of ATP synthesis within the enzyme complex. We report the discovery of a novel antimycobacterial, termed GaMF1, that targets this γ subunit loop. Biochemical and NMR studies show that GaMF1 inhibits ATP synthase activity by binding to the loop. GaMF1 is bactericidal and is active against multidrug- as well as bedaquiline-resistant strains. Chemistry efforts on the scaffold revealed a dynamic structure activity relationship and delivered analogues with nanomolar potencies. Combining GaMF1 with bedaquiline or novel diarylquinoline analogues showed potentiation without inducing genotoxicity or phenotypic changes in a human embryonic stem cell reporter assay. These results suggest that GaMF1 presents an attractive lead for the discovery of a novel class of anti-tuberculosis F-ATP synthase inhibitors.

- Discovery of methoxy-naphthyl linked N-(1-benzylpiperidine) benzamide as a blood-brain permeable dual inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase
-
The cholinesterase enzymes play a vital role in maintaining balanced levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central nervous system. However, the overexpression of these enzymes results in hampered neurotransmission. Both the major forms of cholinesterase enzymes viz. acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) play a crucial role in blocking neurotransmission; therefore, in recent years, a strategy of dual cholinesterase inhibition is being explored. Herein, we developed an energy-optimized e-pharmacophore hypothesis AHHPRR from AChE-donepezil complex and screened a set of 15 scaffolds that were designed imaginarily. The ligand with N-(1-benzylpyridinium) benzamide framework has shown the highest fitness and volume score, which was chosen for synthesis and validation. A series of pyridinium benzamides were synthesized and screened for cholinesterase inhibition that led to the identification of 7b, a naphthalene containing N-(1-benzylpiperidine) benzamide as a potent dual AChE and BChE inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.176, and 0.47 μM, respectively. The kinetic study indicated that 7b inhibits AChE in a non-competitive manner with Ki value of 0.21 μM, and BChE in a mixed-fashion with Ki of 0.15 μM. The observed mode of inhibition was corroborated with molecular docking studies. The MD simulation studies pointed out that both AChE and BChE undergo low conformational changes in complex with 7b. The benzamide 7b displayed high BBB permeability in PAMPA assay, which indicates its potential for further exploration in preclinical studies for Alzheimer's disease.

- Identification of Phenylpyrazolone Dimers as a New Class of Anti-Trypanosoma cruzi Agents
-
Chagas disease is becoming a worldwide problem; it is currently estimated that over six million people are infected. The two drugs in current use, benznidazole and nifurtimox, require long treatment regimens, show limited efficacy in the chronic phase of infection, and are known to cause adverse effects. Phenotypic screening of an in-house library led to the identification of 2,2′-methylenebis(5-(4-bromophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one), a phenyldihydropyrazolone dimer, which shows an in vitro pIC50 value of 5.4 against Trypanosoma cruzi. Initial optimization was done by varying substituents of the phenyl ring, after which attempts were made to replace the phenyl ring. Finally, the linker between the dimer units was varied, ultimately leading to 2,2′-methylenebis(5-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (NPD-0228) as the most potent analogue. NPD-0228 has an in vitro pIC50 value of 6.4 against intracellular amastigotes of T. cruzi and no apparent toxicity against the human MRC-5 cell line and murine cardiac cells.

- Synthesis of novel nicotinic ligands with multimodal action: Targeting Acetylcholine α4β2, Dopamine and Serotonin Transporters
-
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), serotonin transporters (SERT) and dopamine transporters (DAT) represent targets for the development of novel nicotinic derivatives acting as multiligands associated with different health conditions, such as depressive, anxiety and addiction disorders. In the present work, a series of functionalized esters structurally related to acetylcholine and nicotine were synthesized and pharmacologically assayed with respect to these targets. The synthesized compounds were studied in radioligand binding assays at α4β2 nAChR, h-SERT and h-DAT. SERT experiments showed not radioligand [3H]-paroxetine displacement, but rather an increase in the radioligand binding percentage at the central binding site was observed. Compound 20 showed Ki values of 1.008 ± 0.230 μM for h-DAT and 0.031 ± 0.006 μM for α4β2 nAChR, and [3H]-paroxetine binding of 191.50% in h-SERT displacement studies, being the only compound displaying triple affinity. Compound 21 displayed Ki values of 0.113 ± 0.037 μM for α4β2 nAChR and 0.075 ± 0.009 μM for h-DAT acting as a dual ligand. Molecular docking studies on homology models of α4β2 nAChR, h-DAT and h-SERT suggested potential interactions among the compounds and agonist binding site at the α4/β2 subunit interfaces of α4β2 nAChR, central binding site of h-DAT and allosteric modulator effect in h-SERT.

- Mercaptoacetate thioesters and their hydrolysate mercaptoacetic acids jointly inhibit metallo-β-lactamase L1
-
The 'superbug' infection caused by metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) including L1 has grown into an emerging threat. To probe whether mercaptoacetate thioesters inhibiting L1 is a contribution of the thioester itself or its hydrolysate, ten mercaptoacetate thioesters 1-10 were synthesized, which specifically inhibited L1, exhibiting IC50 values ranging from 0.17 to 1.2 μM, and 8 was found to be the best inhibitor (IC50 = 0.17 μM). These thioesters restored the antimicrobial activity of cefazolin against E. coli expressing L1 by 2-4-fold. UV-vis monitoring showed that 1, 8 and 9 were unhydrolyzed in Tris buffer (pH 6.0-8.5), but hydrolyzed by L1; further HPLC monitoring indicated that 1/3 of the thioester 9 was converted to mercaptoacetic acid. STD-NMR monitoring suggested that both the thioester and its hydrolysate mercaptoacetic acid jointly inhibited L1.

- Hemozoin inhibiting 2-phenylbenzimidazoles active against malaria parasites

The 2-phenylbenzimidazole scaffold has recently been discovered to inhibit β-hematin (synthetic hemozoin) formation by high throughput screening. Here, a library of 325,728 N-4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)aryl)benzamides was enumerated, and Bayesian statistics used to predict β-hematin and Plasmodium falciparum growth inhibition. Filtering predicted inactives and compounds with negligible aqueous solubility reduced the library to 35,124. Further narrowing to compounds with terminal aryl ring substituents only, reduced the library to 18, 83% of which were found to inhibit β-hematin formation 100 μM and 50% parasite growth 2 μM. Four compounds showed nanomolar parasite growth inhibition activities, no cross-resistance in a chloroquine resistant strain and low cytotoxicity. QSAR analysis showed a strong association of parasite growth inhibition with inhibition of β-hematin formation and the most active compound inhibited hemozoin formation in P. falciparum, with consequent increasing exchangeable heme. Pioneering use of molecular docking for this system demonstrated predictive ability and could rationalize observed structure activity trends.

This manuscript reports the synthesis of twenty 3,5-diaryl-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives, nine of which are novel compounds. The amidoxime reaction with acyl chlorides obtained from substituted benzoic acids was used. All compounds were tested against five standard (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)) bacteria: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Screening assays were carried out using agar-diffusion technique, in which 100 μM heterocyclic compounds solutions (20percent dimethylsulfoxide/water) were employed. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the active compounds were determined by serial dilutions at decreasing concentrations in microtiter plates. The nitrated derivatives gave the best test results, where MIC = 60 μM (E. coli) was the lowest value found for an ortho-nitrated derivative. The activity of these compounds possibly involves a mechanism via free radicals. S. aureus and P. aeruginosa were resistant to all compounds.

- Sp3 C-H Arylation and Alkylation Enabled by the Synergy of Triplet Excited Ketones and Nickel Catalysts
-
Triplet ketone sensitizers are of central importance within the realm of photochemical transformations. Although the radical-type character of triplet excited states of diaryl ketones suggests the viability for triggering hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) and single-electron transfer (SET) processes, among others, their use as multifaceted catalysts in C-C bond-formation via sp3 C-H functionalization of alkane feedstocks still remains rather unexplored. Herein, we unlock a modular photochemical platform for forging C(sp3)-C(sp2) and C(sp3)-C(sp3) linkages from abundant alkane sp3 C-H bonds as functional handles using the synergy between nickel catalysts and simple, cheap and modular diaryl ketones. This method is distinguished by its wide scope that is obtained from cheap catalysts and starting precursors, thus complementing existing inner-sphere C-H functionalization protocols or recent photoredox scenarios based on iridium polypyridyl complexes. Additionally, such a platform provides a new strategy for streamlining the synthesis of complex molecules with high levels of predictable site-selectivity and preparative utility. Mechanistic experiments suggest that sp3 C-H abstraction occurs via HAT from the ketone triplet excited state. We believe this study will contribute to a more systematic utilization of triplet excited ketones as catalysts in metallaphotoredox scenarios.

- Metathesis-active ligands enable a catalytic functional group metathesis between aroyl chlorides and aryl iodides
-
Current methods for functional group interconversion have, for the most part, relied on relatively strong driving forces which often require highly reactive reagents to generate irreversibly a desired product in high yield and selectivity. These approaches generally prevent the use of the same catalytic strategy to perform the reverse reaction. Here we describe a catalytic functional group metathesis approach to interconvert, under CO-free conditions, two synthetically important classes of electrophiles that are often employed in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals—aroyl chlorides (ArCOCl) and aryl iodides (ArI). Our reaction design relies on the implementation of a key reversible ligand C–P bond cleavage event, which enables a non-innocent, metathesis-active phosphine ligand to mediate a rapid aryl group transfer between the two different electrophiles. Beyond enabling a practical and safer approach to the interconversion of ArCOCl and ArI, this type of ligand non-innocence provides a blueprint for the development of a broad range of functional group metathesis reactions employing synthetically relevant aryl electrophiles.

The inhibition kinetics for the most active compounds were analyzed by the Lineweaver–Burk plots to investigate the possible binding modes of the synthesized compounds toward the tested proteins. Moreover, the detailed docking studies were performed on the synthesized library of 4a-k and 7a-k to study the molecular interaction and binding mode in the active site of the modeled yeast α-glucosidase and Jack Bean Urease, respectively. It could be inferred from docking results that theoretical studies are in close agreement to that of the experimental results. The structure of one of the compound 7k was characterized by the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis in order to find out the predominant conformation of the molecules.

- Selective mono-alkylation of N-methoxybenzamides
-
We report our latest discovery of norbornene derivative modulated highly mono-selective ortho-C-H activation alkylation reactions on arenes bearing simple mono-dentate coordinating groups. The reaction features the use of readily available benzamides and alkyl halides. During the study, we prepared 30 mono-alkylated aryl amides in good yields with good mono-selectivity. We have also demonstrated that structurally rigid alkenes such as norbornene and its derivatives are a good class of ligand and could be used for future direct C-H functionalizations. The utilization of norbornene type ligands for assistance in C-H activation processes has opened a new window for future molecular design using direct C-H functionalization strategies.

- Synthesis and nematicidal activities of 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one derivatives containing thiourea and acylthiourea against Meloidogyne incognita
-
Two series of novel 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one derivatives containing thiourea and acylthiourea were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results showed that most of the test compounds showed good nematicidal activity against M. incognita at the concentration of 10.0?mg?L?1 in vivo. The compounds A13, A17 and B3 showed excellent nematicidal activity on the second stage juveniles of the root-knot nematode with the inhibition rate of 51.3%, 58.3% and 51.3% at the concentration of 1.0?mg?L?1 respectively. It suggested that the structure of 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one derivatives containing thiourea and acylthiourea could be optimized further.

- Copper-Mediated sp 2 C-H Chlorination with Trichloroacetamide Using a Removable Directing Group
-
2-Aminophenyl-1 H -pyrazole was discovered as a removable, bidentate directing group for copper-mediated aerobic oxidative sp 2 C-H bond chlorination employing trichloroacetamide as a new chlorine source. When Cu(OAc) 2 was employed as the copper source, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) as an organic base, the reaction, optimally carried out overnight in DMSO at 80 °C in open air, produced a variety of mono- and dichlorinated products in moderate to excellent yields. This directing group can be removed oxidatively with cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN).

- Benzoylsalicylic acid derivatives as defense activators in tobacco and Arabidopsis
-
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a long lasting inducible whole plant immunity often induced by either pathogens or chemical elicitors. Salicylic acid (SA) is a known SAR signal against a broad spectrum of pathogens in plants. In a recent study, we have reported that benzoylsalicylic acid (BzSA) is a SAR inducer in tobacco and Arabidopsis plants. Here, we have synthesized BzSA derivatives using SA and benzoyl chlorides of various moieties as substrates. The chemical structures of BzSA derivatives were elucidated using Infrared spectroscopy (IR), Nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (NMR) and High-resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) analysis. The bioefficacy of BzSA derivatives in inducing defense response against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was investigated in tobacco and SA abolished transgenic NahG Arabidopsis plants. Interestingly, pre-treatment of local leaves of tobacco with BzSA derivatives enhanced the expression of SAR genes such as NPR1 [Non-expressor of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes 1], PR and other defense marker genes (HSR203, SIPK, WIPK) in systemic leaves. Pre-treatment of BzSA derivatives reduced the spread of TMV infection to uninfected areas by restricting lesion number and diameter both in local and systemic leaves of tobacco in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, pre-treatment of BzSA derivatives in local leaves of SA deficient Arabidopsis NahG plants induced SAR through AtPR1 and AtPR5 gene expression and reduced leaf necrosis and curling symptoms in systemic leaves as compared to BzSA. These results suggest that BzSA derivatives are potent SAR inducers against TMV in tobacco and Arabidopsis.

- A General Cp*CoIII-Catalyzed Intramolecular C?H Activation Approach for the Efficient Total Syntheses of Aromathecin, Protoberberine, and Tylophora Alkaloids

Herein, we report a Cp*CoIII-catalyzed C?H activation approach as the key step to create highly valuable isoquinolones and pyridones as building blocks that can readily be applied in the total syntheses of a variety of aromathecin, protoberberine, and tylophora alkaloids. This particular C?H activation/annulation reaction was achieved with several terminal as well as internal alkyne coupling partners delivering a broad scope with excellent functional group tolerance. The synthetic applicability of this protocol reported herein was demonstrated in the total syntheses of two Topo-I-Inhibitors and two 8-oxyprotoberberine cores that can be further elaborated into the tetrahydroprotoberberine and the protoberberine alkaloid core. Moreover these building blocks were also transformed to six different tylophora alkaloids in expedient fashion.

- RhIII-Catalyzed C-H Allylation of Amides and Domino Cycling Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones with N-Bromosuccinimide
-
A RhIII-catalyzed C-H allylation of electron-deficient arenes, heteroarenes, and alkenes at room temperature was developed with allyl bromide. The reaction was carried out in diethyl ether without dehydration, and C-H activation was assisted by the directing anionic nitrogen of the aniline-derived amide. Following the allylation, a domino cycling synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) through intramolecular aminobromination of the introduced double bond was achieved. A C-H allylation of amides with allyl halides at room temperature and a tandem synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) are reported.

- Design, synthesis and antibacterial activity of isatin derivatives as FtsZ inhibitors
-
Seven isatin derivatives have been designed, and their chemical structures were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, 1H NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. Structural stabilization followed by intramolecular as well as intermolecular H-bonds makes these molecules as perfect examples in molecular recognition with self-complementary donor and acceptor units within a single molecule. These compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activities. Docking simulations have been performed to position compounds into the FtsZ active site to determine their probable binding models. All of the compounds exhibited better antibacterial activities. Interestingly, compound 5c and 5d exhibited better antibacterial activities with IC50 values of 0.03 and 0.05 μmol/mL against Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Compound 5g displays antibacterial activity with IC50 values of 0.672 and 0.830 μmol/mL against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively.

- Diastereoselective [3+2] Annulation of Aromatic/Vinylic Amides with Bicyclic Alkenes through Cobalt-Catalyzed C-H Activation and Intramolecular Nucleophilic Addition
-
A highly diastereoselective method for the synthesis of dihydroepoxybenzofluorenone derivatives from aromatic/vinylic amides and bicyclic alkenes is described. This new transformation proceeds through cobalt-catalyzed C-H activation and intramolecular nucleophilic addition to the amide functional group. Transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation reactions of secondary amides with alkenes usually lead to [4+2] or [4+1] annulation; to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a [3+2] cycloaddition is described in this context. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. Mechanistic studies imply that the C-H bond cleavage may be the rate-limiting step. [3+2] instead of [4+2] or [4+1]: The diastereoselective [3+2] annulation of secondary amides with alkenes proceeds by cobalt-catalyzed C-H activation and intramolecular nucleophilic addition to the amide functional group under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that the C-H bond cleavage is the rate-limiting step.

-
To find a new lead compound with high biological activity, a series of N-substituted benzoyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolyl-1-carboxamide were designed using linking active substructures method. The target compounds were synthesized from substituted benzoic acid by four steps and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR spectrum and elemental analysis. The in vitro bioassay results indicated that some target compounds exhibited excellent fungicidal activities, and the position of the substituents played an important role in fungicidal activities. Especially, compound 5n, exhibited better fungicidal activities than the commercial fungicide flutolanil against two tested fungi Valsa Mali and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, with EC50 values of 3.44 and 2.63 mg/L, respectively. And it also displayed good in vivo fungicidal activity against S. sclerotiorum with the EC50 value of 29.52 mg/L.

- Access to Atropisomerically En-riched Biaryls by the Coupling of Aryllithiums with Arynes under Control by Homochiral Oxazolines
-
We report the preparation of axially stereoenriched biphenyls by the coupling of in situ generated aryllithiums and arynes using chiral oxazoline auxiliaries. The design of the aryne precursors, the choice of oxazoline and the reaction conditions were key to accessing the desired, highly substituted, atropisomerically enriched biarylic products. In one case, the two atropo-diastereomers could be obtained in isomerically pure form by column chromatographic separation and their absolute configurations established by X-ray crystallography. The stereoselectivity of the reaction seems to be governed by subtle parameters.

A series of 1-benzene acyl-2-(1-methylindol-3-yl)-benzimidazole derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential tubulin polymerization inhibitors and for the cytotoxicity against anthropic cancer cell lines. Among the novel compounds, compound 11f was demonstrated the most potent tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1.5 μM) and antiproliferative activity against A549, HepG2 and MCF-7 (GI50 = 2.4, 3.8 and 5.1 μM, respectively), which was compared with the positive control colchicine and CA-4. We also evaluated that compound 11f could effectively induce apoptosis of A549 associated with G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Docking simulation and 3D-QSAR model in these studies provided more information that could be applied to design new molecules with more potent tubulin inhibitory activity.

Using a rational approach to the design of antifungal agents, a series of azole agents with 1,3,4-oxadiazole side chains were designed and synthesized. The results of preliminary in vitro antifungal tests with eight human pathogenic compounds showed that all of the title compounds exhibited excellent activities against all of the tested fungi except Aspergillus fumigatus. Compounds 11e and 11f were found to be the most effective, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.0039 μg/mL, followed by voriconazole, which has a MIC of 0.0625 μg/mL. The 1,3,4-oxadiazole side chain is not the major contributor but plays a role in eliciting the observed antifungal activity.
