Serine, the source of the one-carbon units essential for de novo purine and deoxythymidine synthesis plays a crucial role in the growth of cancer cells. Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) which catalyzes the first, rate-limiting step in de novo serine biosynthesis has become a promising target for the cancer treatment. Here we identified H-G6 as a potential PHGDH inhibitor from the screening of an in-house small molecule library based on the enzymatic assay. We adopted activity-directed combinatorial chemical synthesis strategy to optimize this hit compound. Compound b36 was found to be the noncompetitive and the most promising one with IC50 values of 5.96 ± 0.61 μM against PHGDH. Compound b36 inhibited the proliferation of human breast cancer and ovarian cancer cells, reduced intracellular serine synthesis, damaged DNA synthesis, and induced cell cycle arrest. Collectively, our results suggest that b36 is a novel PHGDH inhibitor, which could be a promising modulator to reprogram the serine synthesis pathway and might be a potential anticancer lead worth further exploration.

An efficient method for the carbon–carbon bond formation at C-5 position of 2-substituted furans to provide a range of π-diverse 5-aryl-2-substituted furan derivatives in 58–80% yield has been reported. The method employs several advantages such as use of catalytic amount of K3[Fe(CN)6] under mild conditions and short reaction time with high yields. Also, a variety of anilines with a variety of functional groups can be employed for the synthesis of 5-aryl-2-substituted furans. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Bacterial infections represent a serious health care problem mainly due to the misuse and overuse of antibiotics, with consequent emergence of multidrug resistant bacterial strains. Then, because the urgent need to find novel and alternative antibacterial agents, the present work focuses on the synthesis of arylfuran derivatives with potential antimicrobial activity. Eighteen arylfuran derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among them, seven compounds containing an amino group in their structure showed activity, with compound 24 being the most effective against both Gram-negative (E. coli, MIC = 49 μM) and Gram-positive (S. aureus, MIC = 98 μM) bacteria, besides having exhibited a modest activity against P. aeruginosa (MIC = 770 μM). In addition, based on in silico studies, this is a druglike compound since it does not violate any rules for predicting oral bioavailability. In this context, the significant antibacterial potential and the low similarity with known antibiotics indicate the innovative aspect of compound 24.

Two series of 5-aryl-furan derivatives bearing a phenylalanine- or isoleucine-derived rhodanine moiety were identified as competitive protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors. Among the compounds studied, 5g was found to have the best PTP1B inhibitory potency (IC50 = 2.66 ± 0.16 μM) and the best cell division cycle 25 homolog B (CDC25B) inhibitory potency (IC50 = 0.25 ± 0.02 μM). Enzymatic data together with molecular modeling results demonstrated that the introduction of a sec-butyl group at the 2-position of the carboxyl group remarkably improved the PTP1B inhibitory activity.

2-(5-Substituted phenyl)furan-2-carboxaldehyde derivatives were prepared by using an efficient copper(II) complex of tetradentate Schiff-base ligand immobilized onto silica as a heterogeneous nanocatalyst [Cu(II) Schiff-base@SiO2] (5.0?mol%) using anilines, sodium nitrite, and furan-2-carboxaldehyde. Furthermore, attractive di-heteroaryl benzo-fused systems such as benzimidazole and benzothiazole derivatives were synthesized using this nanocatalyst (5.0?mol%) via the reaction of o-phenylenediamines and 2-aminothiophenol with 2-(5-substituted phenyl)furan-2-carboxaldehydes in EtOH. The catalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques. The advantages of the present catalytic system are short reaction times, mild conditions, good to excellent yields, and low amount of nanocatalyst. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time of using the same catalyst in two steps including synthesis of 2-(5-substituted phenyl)furan-2-carboxaldehyde and benzimidazole or benzothiazole derivatives. In addition, the synthesized catalyst was recycled very well and reused several times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

A transition-metal-free aerobic oxidative selective C-C bond-cleavage reaction in primary and secondary heteroaryl alcohols is reported. This reaction was highly efficient and tolerated various heteroaryl alcohols, generating a carboxylic acid derivative and a neutral heteroaromatic compound. Experimental studies combined with density functional theory calculations revealed the mechanism underlying the selective C-C bond cleavage. This strategy also provides an alternative simple approach to carboxylation reaction.

A protocol for synthesis of chalcone derivatives with a 2-pyridone subunit from N-(2-furanylmethyl) alkynamides is reported. This synthesis involves Pd/Cu-catalyzed oxidative furan-yne cyclization at room temperature in air and may proceed via nucleopalladation of the alkyne to form a vinylpalladium intermediate, with a furan ring acting as the nucleophile.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is an important protein arginine methyltransferase that catalyzes the symmetric dimethylation of arginine resides on histones or non-histone substrate proteins. It has been thought as a promising target for many diseases, particularly cancer. Despite the potential applications of PRMT5 inhibitors in cancer treatment, very few of PRMT5i have been publicly reported. In this investigation, virtual screening and structure–activity relationship studies were carried out to discover novel PRMT5i, which finally led to the identification of a number of new PRMT5i. The most active compound, P5i-6, exhibited a considerable inhibitory potency against PRMT5 with an IC50 value of 0.57?μm, and a high selectivity for PRMT5 against other tested PRMTs. It displayed a very good antiviability activity against two colorectal cancer cell lines, HT-29 and DLD-1, and one hepatic cancer cell line, HepG2, in a sensitivity assay against 36 different cancer cell lines. Western blot assays indicated that P5i-6 selectively inhibited the symmetric dimethylations of H4R3 and H3R8 in DLD-1 cells. Overall, P5i-6 could be used as a chemical probe to investigate new functions of PRMT5 in biology and also served as a good lead compound for the development of new PRMT5-targeting therapeutic agents.
