We have identified potent isophthalic acid derivatives armed with imidazol and indolyl groups as potent β-secretase inhibitors. The most effective analogs demonstrated low nano-molar potency for the BACE1 (β-secretase cleaving enzyme) as measured by FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) and cell-based (ELISA) assays. Our design strategy followed a traditional SAR approach and was supported by molecular modeling studies based on previously reported hydroxyethylene transition state inhibitor derived from isophthalic acid I. In the FRET assay, the most potent compound, 10a, displayed an IC50value for BACE1 of 75 nM, and exhibited cellular activity with an EC50 value of 0.81 μM. On the other hand, compound 11b was found to be the most potent compound in the cell-based assay with an EC50value of 0.29 μM.

The direct methylation of N-heterocycles is an important transformation for the advancement of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, functional materials, and other chemical entities. Herein, the unprecedented C(sp2)-H methylation of iminoamido heterocycles as nucleoside base analogues is described. Notably, trimethylsulfoxonium salt was employed as a methylating agent under aqueous conditions. A wide substrate scope and excellent level of functional-group tolerance were attained. Moreover, this method can be readily applied to the site-selective methylation of azauracil nucleosides. The feasibility of gram-scale reactions and various transformations of the products highlight the synthetic potential of the developed method. Combined deuterium-labeling experiments aided the elucidation of a plausible reaction mechanism.

An oxa-[2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement involving arynes is reported featuring the umpolung of ketones, where the C=O bond polarity is reversed. The in situ-generated sulfur ylides from β-keto thioethers and arynes undergo efficient rearrangement allowing the facile and robust synthesis of functionalized enol ethers in high yields and excellent functional group compatibility. Preliminary mechanistic studies rule out the possibility of Pummerer-type rearrangement operating in this case.

The development of non-natural reaction mechanisms is an attractive strategy for expanding the synthetic capabilities of substrate promiscuous enzymes. Here, we report an "ene"-reductase catalyzed asymmetric hydroalkylation of olefins using α-bromoketones as radical precursors. Radical initiation occurs via ground-state electron transfer from the flavin cofactor located within the enzyme active site, an underrepresented mechanism in flavin biocatalysis. Four rounds of site saturation mutagenesis were used to access a variant of the "ene"-reductase nicotinamide-dependent cyclohexanone reductase (NCR) from Zymomonas mobiles capable of catalyzing a cyclization to furnish β-chiral cyclopentanones with high levels of enantioselectivity. Additionally, wild-type NCR can catalyze intermolecular couplings with precise stereochemical control over the radical termination step. This report highlights the utility for ground-state electron transfers to enable non-natural biocatalytic C-C bond forming reactions.

The assertion made by Wu et al. that aromaticity may have considerable implications for molecular design motivated us to use nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) as an aromaticity criterion to evaluate the antifungal activity of two series of indol-4-ones. A linear regression analysis of NICS and antifungal activity showed that both tested variables were significantly related (p –1 for Candida glabrata, Candida krusei and Candida guilliermondii with compounds 15-32, 15-15 and 15-1. The MIC for filamentous fungi was 1.95 μg·mL–1 for Aspergillus niger for compounds 15-1, 15-33 and 15-34. The results obtained support the use of NICS in the molecular design of compounds with antifungal activity.

An efficient and unprecedented green protocol has been developed for the synthesis of N,S-heterocycles from styrenes and alkyl dithiocarbamates with high to excellent yields. The reaction of primary or secondary amines, CS 2, and styrenes was carried out in water in the presence of a catalytic amount of an inorganic base. All products were made by using an N -bromosuccinimide-H 2O combination as a green and inexpensive reagent.

BRAF mutation is commonly known in a number of human cancer types. It is counted as a potential component in treating cancer. In this study, based on structural optimization of previously reported inhibitors (3-fluro substituted derivatives of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-based scaffold), we designed and synthesized sixteen new imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives with m-nitrophenyl group at position 6. The electron withdrawing properties was reserved while the polarity was modified compared to previously synthesized compounds (-F). Furthermore, the new substituted group (–NO2) provided an additional H-bond acceptor(s) which may bind with the target enzyme through additional interaction(s). In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation was performed against human cancer cell line (A375). In addition, in vitro enzyme assay was performed against mutated B-Raf (B-Raf V600E). Compounds 13a, 13g and 13f showed highest activity on mutated B-Raf with IC50 0.021, 0.035 and 0.020 μM. All target compounds were tested for in vitro cytotoxicity against NCI 60 cell lines. Compounds 13a and 13g were selected for 5 doses test mode. Moreover, in silico molecular simulation was explored in order to explore the possible interactions between the designed compounds and the B-Raf V600E active site.

Newly synthesized 4-substituted phenyl-2-(4-substituted phenylpiperazine-1-yl)thiazole derivatives (4a–v) were evaluated in terms of their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition activities. Twenty-two compounds were tested against AChE at six different concentrations that varied between 10?4 and 10?9 M. The concentrations that inhibited AChE were calculated between 1.15 and 3.45 μM in seven compounds (4a, 4b, 4h, 4l, 4m, 4q, 4r). Compounds 4m, 4b, and 4l represented 1.15, 1.31, 1.34 μM (IC50) inhibitions, respectively. Although the inhibition values are lower than that of donepezil, they are considerable. Modeling studies of these analogs revealed similar positioning with donepezil, in which Ar–Ar interactions with Tyr337 and Trp 286 exist.

Background: NSAIDs are used as first-line drugs for the treatment of various inflammatory disorders. Chronic use of NSAIDs is known to be associated with gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. Local generation of reactive oxygen species finally resulting in cellular apoptosis is one of the accepted mechanisms for NSAID-induced toxicity. Objective: The objective of the present study was to design and synthesize a series of 2-methane sulfonamido substituted arylthiazole derivatives by including structural features of combined antiulcer and anti-inflammatory activity utilizing as the structural core, thiazole nucleus with potential for antioxidant effect. Methods: Compounds were designed based on three dimensional and field similarity studies. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. Rofecoxib and indomethacin were taken as standard drugs for comparison. The in vitro antioxidant activity was assessed in potassium ferricyanide reducing power (PFRAP) assay employing ascorbic acid as the standard drug. Results: The compounds 6 and 7 showed good anti-inflammatory activity comparable to the standard group and were also non ulcerogenic at the test doses. Compounds 1-7 displayed varying degrees of reducing power in the PFRAP) assay and the methanesulphonamido derivatives 4-7 showed the highest antioxidant activity (EC50 values 3.7-5.1 μmol/ml vs ascorbic acid 7.4 μmol/ml). Theoretical ADME profiling of the compounds based on selected physicochemical properties showed excellent compliance with Lipinski’s rule. Conclusion: A series of compounds have been designed and synthesized having dual antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity with activities comparable to standard drugs.

The applications of a new supported tribromide reagent based on poly(vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide) resin (Amberlite 717) were reported. This supported tribromide resin was used directly in α-bromination and α-bromoacetalization of acetophenones without any other catalyst under mild conditions. The effects of solvents and the amount of the supported tribromide resin on the reactions were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, most of α-bromo and α-bromoacetal of acetophenones were selectively obtained in excellent yields.
