Discovery of Anti-TNBC Agents Targeting PTP1B: Total Synthesis, Structure-Activity Relationship, in Vitro and in Vivo Investigations of Jamunones
Twenty-three natural jamunone analogues along with a series of jamunone-based derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects against breast cancer (BC) MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. The preliminary structure-activity relationship revealed that the length of aliphatic side chain and free phenolic hydroxyl group at the scaffold played a vital role in anti-BC activities and the methyl group on chromanone affected the selectivity of molecules against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. Among them, jamunone M (JM) was screened as the most effective anti-triple-negative breast cancer (anti-TNBC) candidate with a high selectivity against BC cells over normal human cells. Mechanistic investigations indicated that JM could induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and cause G0/G1 phase arrest in BC cells. Furthermore, JM significantly restrained tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 xenograft mice without apparent toxicity. Interestingly, JM could downregulate phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway by suppressing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) expression. These findings revealed the potential of JM as an appealing therapeutic drug candidate for TNBC.
Direct, regioselective synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromenes. Total syntheses of octandrenolone and precocenes I and II
Herein is reported an efficient method for the synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromenes in a single step from the corresponding phenol and 3-methyl-2-butenal via microwave irradiation in CDCl3. This protocol features a mild reaction environment (neutral, no added catalyst) which yields regioselective formation of the chromene and displays tolerance toward acid- and base-sensitive protecting groups.

Selective cleavage of tert-butyldimethylsilylethers ortho to a carbonyl group by ultrasound
A general method for the selective cleavage of tert- butyldimethylsilylethers ortho to a carbonyl group is established by sonication of a 0.1 M solution of the substrate in 1/1 (v/v) CH3OH/CCl4. Other phenolic tert-butyldimethylsilylethers are unaffected. This reaction performed on flavanoids is completed within 3 h and no special workup is required. Other substrates are also investigated and a mechanism is proposed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
