- Discovery of 1-(5-(1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)ethan-1-one derivatives as novel and potent bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitors with anticancer efficacy
-
As epigenetic readers, bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family proteins bind to acetylated-lysine residues in histones and recruit protein complexes to promote transcription initiation and elongation. Inhibition of BET bromodomains by small molecule inhibitors has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer. Herein, we describe our efforts toward the discovery of a novel series of 1-(5-(1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)ethan-1-one derivatives as BET inhibitors. Intensive structural modifications led to the identification of compound 35f as the most active inhibitor of BET BRD4 with selectivity against BET family proteins. Further biological studies revealed that compound 35f can arrest the cell cycle in G0/G1 phase and induce apoptosis via decreasing the expression of c-Myc and other proteins related to cell cycle and apoptosis. More importantly, compound 35f showed favorable pharmacokinetic properties and antitumor efficacy in MV4-11 mouse xenograft model with acceptable tolerability. These results indicated that BET inhibitors could be potentially used to treat hematologic malignancies and some solid tumors.

- Rational design of fluorescent probes for targeted: In vivo nitroreductase visualization
-
Nitroreductase (NTR) has been recognized as a biomarker for identifying the hypoxic status of cancers. Therefore, it is of high scientific interest to design effective fluorescent probes for tracking NTR activity. However, studies on elucidation of the structure-performance relationship of fluorescent probes and those providing valuable insight into optimized probe design have rarely been reported. Three BODIPY based fluorescent probes were made by conjugation of para-, ortho-, and meta-nitrobenzene to the BODIPY core via a thiolether bond, respectively. Our study revealed that the linkage and nitro substituent position significantly influence the capability of nitroreductase detection.

- Vinyl azides derived from allenes: Thermolysis leading to multisubstituted 1,4-pyrazines and Mn(III)-catalyzed photochemical reaction leading to pyrroles
-
Thermolysis of phosphorus-based vinyl azides under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions furnished a new route for 1,4-pyrazines. A simple one-pot, Mn(III)-catalyzed photochemical route has been developed for multisubstituted pyrroles starting from allenes and 1,3-dicarbonyls via in situ-generated vinyl azides. The utility of new phosphorus-based pyrroles is also demonstrated in the Horner reaction. The structures of key products are unequivocally confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

- Synthesis and spectral properties of new 3,3'-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) with acetylene spacer
-
Bis(2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-8-ethyldipyrrolylmethen-3-yl)acetylene dihydrobromide (H2L·2HBr), new bis(dipyrrolylmethene), in whose molecule dipyrrolylmethene domains were connected through 3,3'-carbon atoms of internal pyrrole nuclei by acetylene spacer, were synthesized by original procedure. The compound was characterized by element analysis, IR, 1H NMR, and electronic spectroscopy. The comparative analysis of spectral properties shows the reduction of the basicity of H2L ligand in comparison with the structural analogs, which contain internal methylene spacer. The quantum-chemical simulation showed that the rigid acetylene spacer gives linear structure to the H2L molecule in contrast to the spiral-shaped geometry of structural analogs with-CH2-spacer.

- Design and development of a new pyrromethene dye with improved photostability and lasing efficiency: Theoretical rationalization of photophysical and photochemical properties
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) In an attempt to develop a photostable and efficient pyrromethene compound for use in liquid dye lasers, three congeners of the commercially available pyrromethene 567 (PM567) laser dye were synthesized and their photophysical properties, lasing efficiencies, and photochemical stabilities were studied. In general the presence of an aryl group at C-8 of the pyrromethene chromophore increased the photostability. One of the congeners possessing a C-8 trimethoxyphenyl moiety showed significantly improved lasing parameters than PM567. Compared to PM567, the photochemical stability of the new dye was 2-fold, while it showed an equivalent lasing efficiency to that of PM567 at a significantly lower concentration. The increased photostability of these new dye molecules could be explained by theoretical calculation on their capacity to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) and probability of reaction with 1O2. Our calculations were in agreement with the experimental results and indicated that a systematic design of new derivatives of pyrromethene chromophore might lead to improved laser dye molecules.

- The total synthesis of chlorophyll a
-
The total synthesis of chlorophyll a starting from Knorr's pyrrole (1) is described with full experimental detail. Forty six stages are involved to reach the target molecule, chlorin e6 trimethyl ester (46), from which the preparation of chlorophyll a has already been described. The four pyrroles which are required for rings A, B, C and D are elaborated largely by known reactions, although with considerable improvements. These pyrroles are manipulated to give two dipyrrin derivatives: a left-hand component (26, comprising rings A and D) and a right-hand component (the thioaldehyde 31, comprising rings B and C). These are brought together in a carefully controlled, stepwise, condensation to give a single porphyrin product (35) in 50% yield. This synthesis of an unsymmetrically-substituted porphyrin bearing an electron-withdrawing substituent and a meso-substituent is seen as a very considerable advance, both in conceptual and practical terms, over earlier approaches. During the course of the closure of the macrocycle, intermediates which exemplify a new group of dihydroporphyrins, the phlorins (e.g. 34), are recognised. Eleven steps remain. The porphyrin (35) is shown to undergo dehydrogenation (again via a phlorin intermediate) on brief treatment with acetic acid in air to give the meso-crylic acid derivative (36), which in acetic acid under nitrogen at 110° slowly reaches equilibrium with the purpurin (37). The introduction of the reactive vinyl group at C-3 has been delayed until this point in the synthesis. Photo-oxygenation of the product, the vinylpurpurin (38), cleaves the cyclopenteno-ring giving the methoxalylpurpurin (39). A reverse Claisen reaction now generates the methoxylactone, rac-isopurpurin 5 methyl ester (40), the first substance in this synthetic series which can be compared with a sample (albeit optically active) derived from natural chlorophyll a. rac-Isopurpurin 5 methyl ester (40) is hydrolysed to the lactol, chlorin 5 (41), which is resolved (diastereoisomeric salts with quinine). The less soluble salt gives synthetic act-chlorin 5, identical with a sample of natural provenance. Diazomethane treatment of the free acid (42) yields purpurin 5 dimethyl ester (43), again identical with the naturally-derived compound. Treatment with hydrogen cyanide in triethylamine leads to the cyanolactone (44), reductive cleavage and methylation of which give the chlorin e6 nitrile (45). Methanolysis of this furnishes synthetic crystalline chlorin e6 trimethyl ester (46), identical (mp, mixed mp, electronic spectrum, infra red spectrum) with a naturally-derived sample, so completing the total synthesis.
