- Synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-arylcoumarins as potential anti-Alzheimer's disease agents
-
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological degenerative disease that has complex pathogenesis. A variety of studies in humans indicate that several enzymes inhibitors can be useful in the treatment of AD, including acetylcholinesterase (AchE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO). Various substituted 4-arylcoumarin derivatives were synthesised, and their activity in vitro were investigated, including AChE/BuChE inhibitory activity, MAO inhibitory activity, and antioxidant activity. Most of the compounds were found to exhibit high inhibitory activity, and individual compounds have extremely excellent activities. Therefore 4-arylcoumarins provides an idea for drugs design for the development of therapeutic or preventive agents for AD.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel neoflavonoid derivatives as potential antidiabetic agents
-
Various substituted neoflavonoid derivatives were synthesized using sulfated montmorillonite K-10 as a catalyst. This method is environmental friendly, sustainable and economical, convenient in isolation and purification processes, with little byproducts, using earth-abundant catalysts and has relatively high yield. Those neoflavonoid derivatives were screened for antioxidant, a-glucosidase inhibitory, aldose reductase 2 (ALR2) inhibitory and advanced glycation end-product formation inhibitory effects. Most compounds exhibited significant antioxidant and advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation inhibitory activities. It was interesting to note that out of thirty compounds, 8k and 8l were found to have greater ALR2 inhibitory activity than the standard drug quercetin. The pharmacological studies suggested neoflavonoid with adjacent 7,8-dihydroxy groups were more effective in inhibiting ALR2. Antidiabetic activity studies had shown that compounds 8l and 8m were equipotent to the standard drug glibenclamide in vivo. In summary, the target compound 8l provided a potential drug design concept for the development of therapeutic or prophylactic agents of diabetes and diabetes complications.

- Preparation method of neoflavonoids
-
The invention relates to the field of chemical synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of neoflavonoids. The preparation method is characterized by comprising the following steps of using substituted benzaldehyde as an initial raw material to be reacted with malonic acid to generate a substituted phenylacrylic acid compound; performing an addition reaction, an elimination reaction and the like on the substituted phenylacrylic acid compound, or performing acetylation so as to protect a phenolic hydroxyl group, then performing a bromination reaction and the elimination reaction so as to synthesize the substituted phenylpropiolic acid compound ; and using montmorillonite K-10 after being acidulated by sulfuric acid as a catalyst, enabling the substituted phenylpropiolic acid compound and a phenolic compound to perform a heating reaction so as to generate the neoflavonoids. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of the neoflavonoids, disclosed by the invention, has the characteristics that raw materials are cheap, and easy to obtain, the operation is simple, the catalyst can be recovered for use, and the method is environmentally-friendly, the post-treatment is simple, and the production cost is low, and the method has a high popularization and application value.

- CuII-exchanged montmorillonite K10 clay-catalyzed direct carboxylation of terminal alkynes with carbon dioxide
-
A new, simple and straight-forward protocol for direct carboxylation of terminal alkynes has been developed using CuII-montmorillonite K10 clay as a heterogeneous catalyst and CO2 as the C1 carbon feedstock. Also coupling of terminal alkynes with CO2 (1 atm) in the presence of alkyl halides has been achieved under the same reaction conditions, thereby providing access to a variety of functionalized alkyl-2-alkynoates in high yields.

- Synthesis and biological activities of new furo[3,4-b]carbazoles: Potential topoisomerase II inhibitors
-
New 1,5-Dihydro-4-(substituted phenyl)-3H-furo[3,4-b]carbazol-3-ones were synthesised via a key step Diels-Alder reaction under microwave irradiation. 3-Formylindole was successfully used in a 6-step synthesis to obtain those complex heterocycles. The Diels-Alder reaction generating the carbazole ring was optimised under thermal conditions or microwave irradiation. After cleavage of functional groups, DNA binding, topoisomerase inhibition and cytotoxic properties of the new-formed furocarbazoles were investigated. These carbazoles do not present a strong interaction with the DNA, and do not modify the relaxation of the DNA in the presence of topoisomerase I or II except for one promising compound. This compound is a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor, and its cellular activity is not moderated compared to etoposide. The synthesis of these molecules allowed the generalisation of the method using indole and 5-OBn indole and several benzaldehydes. The synthesis of these molecules produced chemical structures endowed with promising cytotoxic and topoisomerase II inhibition activities.

- An efficient synthesis of neoflavonoid antioxidants based on Montmorillonite K-10 catalysis
-
A new approach to synthesis of neoflavonoids, based on a high yielding Montmorillonite K-10 catalyzed lactone ring forming cyclization process, is described. The utility of this methodology is exemplified by its employment in the preparation of the substituted 4-phenylneoflavonoids 1-8. The free radical scavenging properties of these substances were evaluated. The neoflavonoids 1 and 5, which mimic esculetin-type antioxidants, were observed to quench hydrazyl free radicals.
