- Simple method for preparing ellipticine or substituted ellipticine
-
The invention relates to a synthesis process for preparing ellipticine. Ellipticine is obtained through six steps of reaction and three steps of crystallization separation, the target product total yield is high, column chromatography separation is not needed for an intermediate product and the target product, and the method is particularly suitable for large-scale preparation.

- SMALL MOLECULES TARGETING REPEAT r(CGG) SEQUENCES
-
The invention provides a series of bioactive small molecules that target expanded r(CGG) repeats, termed r(CGG)exp, that causes Fragile X-associated Tremor Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS). The compound was identified by using information on the chemotypes and RNA motifs that interact. Specifically, 9-hydroxy-5,11-dimethyl-2-(2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazol-2-ium, binds the 5′CG/3′GGC motifs in r(CGG)exp and disrupts a toxic r(CGG)exp-protein complex. Specifically, dimeric compounds incorporating two 9-hydroxyellipticine analog structures can even more potently bind the 5′CGG/3′GGC motifs in r(CGG)exp and disrupts a toxic r(CGG)exp-protein complex. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) studies determined that the alkylated pyridyl and phenolic side chains are important chemotypes that drive molecular recognition of r(CGG) repeats, such as r(CGG)exp. Importantly, the compound is efficacious in FXTAS model cellular systems as evidenced by its ability to improve FXTAS-associated pre-mRNA splicing defects and to reduce the size and number of r(CGG)exp-protein aggregates.

- Modifications to the Vilsmeier-Haack formylation of 1,4-dimethylcarbazole and its application to the synthesis of ellipticines
-
Figure represented. An improved method for the preparation of 3-formyl-1,4-dimethylcarbazole, a key intermediate in the synthesis of ellipticine, is presented. Conditions of the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction have been modified to facilitate the production of 3-formyl-1,4-dimethylcarbazole as a major product leading to an overall improvement in yield of ellipticine from 3% to 14%. This approach was also applied to the synthesis of 6-methylellipticine and 9-methoxyellipticine.

- An expedient synthesis of ellipticine via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling
-
A simple and efficient total synthesis of ellipticine was developed via the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of sterically sensitive 2-hydroxybenzeneboronic acid with a multifunctional aryl halide using Pd(OAc)2 as a catalyst and Cu(OAc)2·H2O as an additive in DMSO/H2O as a key step followed by double N-arylation and cyclization.
