- Synthesis of 5α-cholestan-6-one derivatives and their inhibitory activities of NO production in activated microglia: Discovery of a novel neuroinflammation inhibitor
-
Glial activation-mediated neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the process of several neuroinflammatory diseases including stroke, Alzheimer's diseases, Parkinson's diseases, multiple sclerosis and ischemia. Inhibition of microglial activation may ameliorate neuronal degeneration under the inflammatory conditions. In the present study, a number of 5α-cholestan-6- one derivatives were prepared and the anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds were evaluated in LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglia cells. Those derivatives were synthesized from readily available hyodeoxycholic acid (1). Among the tested compounds, several analogs (16-18, 25, 35, 38) exhibited potent inhibitory activities on nitric oxide production with no or weak cell toxicity. Compound 16 also significantly suppressed the expression of TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, cyclooxygenase (COX-2) as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglia cells. In addition, compound 16 markedly reduced infarction volume in a focal ischemic mice model.

- Efficient synthesis of cholic acid derivates through stereoselective C–H functionalization from hyodeoxycholic acid
-
Five cholic acid derivatives (including allo-ω-muricholic acid and CDCA) were synthesized from hyodeoxycholic acid via selective oxidation of C3- or C6-hydroxyl groups by IBX and NBS oxidants and stereocontrolled conversion. The hydroxyl group could be introduced through hydrolyzing α-Br keto with K2CO3 aqueous solution or through oxidizing the double bond by monoperoxyphthalic acid. The reduction of C6-O6 carbonyl to methylene could undergo with PTSH, NaBH3CN and ZnCl2 only at 5β configuration. A feasible synthetic route of CDCA from HDCA has been established to avoid the epimerization with the yield of 45% (8 steps). These strategies provided good yields, stereoselectivity and reproducibility for the preparation of cholic acid derivates and CDCA.

- GPBAR1 activation by C6-substituted hyodeoxycholane analogues protect against colitis
-
GPBAR1 agonists have been identified as potential leads for the treatment of diseases related to colon inflammation such as Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. In this paper, we report the discovery of a small library of hyodeoxycholane analogues, decorated at C-6 with different substituents, as potent and selective GPBAR1 agonists. In vitro pharmacological assays showed that compound 6 selectively activates GPBAR1 (EC50 = 0.3 μM) and reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-a) in THP1 cells. The binding mode of compound 6 in GPBAR1 was elucidated by docking calculations. Moreover, compound 6 protects against TNBSinduced colitis in Gpbar1+/+ rodent model, representing an intriguing lead for the treatment of these inflammatory disorders.

- 1,3-Dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin as a Precatalyst for Activation of Carbonyl Functionality
-
Activation of carbonyl moiety is one of the most rudimentary approaches in organic synthesis and is crucial for a plethora of industrial-scale condensation reactions. In esterification and aldol condensation, which represent two of the most important reactions, the susceptibility of the carbonyl group to nucleophile attack allows the construction of a variety of useful organic compounds. In this context, there is a constant need for development of and improvement in the methods for addition-elimination reactions via activation of carbonyl functionality. In this paper, an advanced methodology for the direct esterification of carboxylic acids and alcohols, and for aldol condensation of aldehydes using widely available, inexpensive, and metal-free 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin under neat reaction conditions is reported. The method is air- and moisture-tolerant, allowing simple synthetic and isolation procedures for both reactions presented in this paper. The reaction pathway for esterification is proposed and a scale-up of certain industrially important derivatives is performed.

- A concise synthesis of 25-Hydroxycholesterol from hyodesoxycholic Acid
-
A simple, efficient and economical method has been developed for the synthesis of 25-hydroxycholesterol in seven steps from hyodesoxycholic acid with an overall yield of 39%. The preparation of the 3β-tetrahydropyranyloxychol-5-en-24-al from 3β-tetrahydropyranyloxychol-5-en-24-oic acid methyl ester with di-isobutylaluminium hydride was achieved instead of using the conventional two-step reaction, thus avoiding the use of the toxic oxidant CrO3. The terminal product was obtained by hydroxybromination of desmosterol with N-bromosuccinimide/H2O, followed by reduction and deprotection of the halohydrins with LiAlH4. This simplified route gave an increased overall yield and used economical and environmentally benign reagents.

- A Facile Route to Ursodeoxycholic Acid Based on Stereocontrolled Conversion and Aggregation Behavior Research
-
A facile route to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and its aggregation behavior in aqueous phase solution, which is rarely known, are reported. The starting material, hyodeoxycholic acid (HDCA), is a relatively less expensive material and more easily obtained compared with chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA). A facile route was developed to synthesize UDCA from HDCA with a Shapiro reaction as the key step and in 26% overall yield. A new strategy using organosilane reagent considering its stability, nontoxicity, and abundance in nature was carried out for a more rapid route and higher yield. It was found that the critical micelle concentration value, which is a critical value for surfactants of bile salts, was influenced by the number of hydroxyl groups.

Most synthesized compounds presented improved antiproliferative activities compared to the parent bile acids (IC50> 80 μM), especially the piperazine conjugated compound 27 with IC50values of 1.07, 4.58 and 3.86 μM against PC3M, HT29 and ES-2 cancer cell lines, respectively. In addition, all the tested compounds showed less cytotoxic activity on a noncancerous cell line (HAF), and the most active compound 27 exhibited the highest selectivity (Selectivity Index, SIPC3M= 26.3). Furthermore, 27 could also enhance G1 arrest in PC3M cell, revealed by cell cycle analysis, and increase anti-migration activity on PC3M cells, confirmed by transwell migration assay.

- The synthesis and characterization of analogs of the antimicrobial compound squalamine: 6β-hydroxy-3-aminosterols synthesized from hyodeoxycholic acid
-
Analogs of the aminosterol antimicrobial agent squalamine have been synthesized beginning from hyodeoxycholic acid. After carboxylic acid esterification and oxidation of both alcohol functions to ketones, the A/B ring junction was converted from cis to trans by acid-catalyzed isomerization. Different polyamines were added to the 3-keto group by reductive amination, yielding both the 3α and 3β addition products. The synthetic products exhibited potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity similar to that of the parent compound. Changing the identity of the polyamine or the stereochemistry of addition has little effect upon antimicrobial activity but appears to change the selectivity of the agents. The analogs are synthesized with high yield from inexpensive starting materials and are promising alternatives to squalamine as potential antibiotics.
