Synthesis of 5H-indeno[1,2-b]pyridine derivatives: Antiproliferative and antimetastatic activities against two human prostate cancer cell lines

This study describes the direct synthesis of 2-amino-4-(phenylsubstituted)-5H-indeno[1,2-b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile derivatives 5–21, through sequential multicomponent reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and 1-indanone in the presence of ammonium acetate and acetic acid (catalytic). The biological study showed that compound 10 significantly impeded proliferation of the cell lines PC-3, LNCaP, and MatLyLu. The antimetastatic effects of compound 10 could be related with inhibition of MMP9 in the PC-3 and LNCaP human cell lines. On the basis of a study of the structure–activity relationship of these compounds, we propose that the presence of two methoxy groups at positions 6 and 7 of the indeno nucleus and a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy phenyl substitution pattern at position 4 of the pyridine ring is decisive for these types of molecules to exert?very good antiproliferative and antimetastatic activities.

A reusable efficient green catalyst of 2d cu-mof for the click and knoevenagel reaction

[Cu(CPA)(BDC)]n (CPA = 4-(Chloro-phenyl)-pyridin-4-ylmethylene-amine; BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-Ray diffraction measurement. The structural studies establish the copper (II) containing 2D sheet with (4,4) square grid structure. The square grid lengths are 10.775 and 10.769 ?. Thermal stability is assessed by TGA, and subsequent PXRD data establish the crystallinity. The surface morphology is evaluated by FE-SEM. The N2 adsorption?desorption analysis demonstrates the mesoporous feature (～6.95 nm) of the Cu-MOF. This porous grid serves as heterogeneous green catalyst with superficial recyclability and thermal stability and facilitates organic transformations efficiently such as, Click and Knoevenagel reactions in the aqueous methanolic medium.

Supramolecular polymeric aggregation behavior and its impact on catalytic properties of imidazolium based hydrophilic ionic liquids

Ionic Liquids (ILs) self-assemble to form supramolecular polymeric clusters/aggregates. The aggregation behavior of ILs influences its activity in the organic synthesis. However, the precise role of ILs in organic reactions is still unknown. It is, therefore, important to comprehend the supramolecular polymeric aggregation behavior of ILs. We are exploring the supramolecular polymeric aggregation behavior of ILs using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). We have synthesized four hydrophilic ILs (1–4) and investigated their aggregation behavior and its impact on catalytic activity in Carbon-Carbon bond formation (Knoevenagel and Claisen-Schmidt condensation). Here, we show that the aggregation behavior of ILs depends on the type and nature of cation and anion. ESI-MS (?ve) spectra reveals two different type of aggregation i.e. [CnAn+1]? & [A2 + H+]?. We have found that catalytic activity increases with increased [CnAn+1]? supramolecular aggregation. Consequently, highest yield of products obtained in ILs which show decreased anion-anion aggregation [A2 + H+]? abundance in ESI-MS. We anticipate our results to be a starting point for the establishment of desired ILs for organic synthesis.

Synthesis, in vitro and in silico screening of 2-amino-4-aryl-6-(phenylthio) pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles as novel α-glucosidase inhibitors

Inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme is of prime importance for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM). Apart of many organic scaffolds, pyridine based compounds have previously been reported for wide range of bioactivities. The current study reports a series of pyridine based synthetic analogues for their α-glucosidase inhibitory potential assessed by in vitro, kinetics and in silico studies. For this purpose, 2-amino-4-aryl-6-(phenylthio)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles 1–28 were synthesized and subjected to in vitro screening. Several analogs, including 1–3, 7, 9, 11–14, and 16 showed many folds increased inhibitory potential in comparison to the standard acarbose (IC50 = 750 ± 10 μM). Interestingly, compound 7 (IC50 = 55.6 ± 0.3 μM) exhibited thirteen-folds greater inhibition strength than the standard acarbose. Kinetic studies on most potent molecule 7 revealed a competitive type inhibitory mechanism. In silico studies have been performed to examine the binding mode of ligand (compound 7) with the active site residues of α-glucosidase enzyme.
