- Four-Component Reaction for the Synthesis of Indolizines by Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Dehydrogenative Aromatization
-
A one-pot, four-component reaction was developed for the synthesis of indolizines from pyridines, α-halide carbonyl compounds, primary amines, and maleic anhydride. The key step in this reaction involved the copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative aromatization of a tetrahydrogen–indolizine intermediate. Oxygen gas was employed as a clean oxidant to facilitate the catalytic process. Notably, this transformation used readily available starting materials, exhibited broad substrate scope, was easy to handle, and required mild reaction conditions.

- Dichloro Butenediamides as Irreversible Site-Selective Protein Conjugation Reagent
-
We describe maleic-acid derivatives as robust cysteine-selective reagents for protein labelling with comparable kinetics and superior stability relative to maleimides. Diamide and amido-ester derivatives proved to be efficient protein-labelling species with a common mechanism in which a spontaneous cyclization occurs upon addition to cysteine. Introduction of chlorine atoms in their structures triggers ring hydrolysis or further conjugation with adjacent residues, which results in conjugates that are completely resistant to retro-Michael reactions in the presence of biological thiols and human plasma. By controlling the microenvironment of the reactive site, we can control selectivity towards the hydrolytic pathway, forming homogeneous conjugates. The method is applicable to several scaffolds and enables conjugation of different payloads. The synthetic accessibility of these reagents and the mild conditions required for fast and complete conjugation together with the superior stability of the conjugates make this strategy an important alternative to maleimides in bioconjugation.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone derivatives as potential chitin synthase inhibitors and antifungal agents
-
A series of 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone derivatives contained butenediamide fragment were designed and synthesized. Their inhibition potency against chitin synthase and antimicrobial activities were screened in vitro. The enzymatic assays showed that all the synthesized compounds had inhibition potency against chitin synthase at concentration of 300 μg/mL. Compound 2d displayed excellent potency with inhibition percentage (IP) value of 82.3%, while IP value of the control polyoxin B was 87.5%. Compounds 2b, 2e and 2s whose IP values were above 70% showed good inhibition potency against chitin synthase. Moreover, the IC50 value of 2b was comparable with that of polyoxin B (0.09 mM). The Ki of compound 2b was 0.12 mM and the result from Lineweaver-Burk plot showed that 2b was non-competitive inhibitor to bind chitin synthase. The antifungal experiment showed that these compounds had excellent antifungal activity against fungal strains, especially for candida albicans. The antifungal activities against C .albicans of compounds 2b, 2d, 2e and 2l were comparable with that of fluconazole and were superior to that of polyoxin B. Meanwhile, the other compounds against C. albicans showed better antifungal activity (MIC 2 μg/mL) than polyoxin B except for compound 2n (MIC 4 μg/mL). The trial of drug combination use showed that these synthesized compounds had synergistic effects with fluconazole and polyoxin B. It indicated that these compounds were not competing with polyoxin B to bind with chitin synthase, which was also consistence with the result of enzymatic assays. The antibacterial experiment showed that these compounds had no activity against selected strains including three Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacteria. These results showed that the designed compounds were chitin synthase inhibitors and had selective antifungal activity.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel benzylidene-succinimide derivatives as noncytotoxic antiangiogenic inhibitors with anticolorectal cancer activity in vivo
-
A novel series of benzylidene-succinimide derivatives were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their cytotoxicities against HCT116, and SW480 cancer cells and NCM460 normal human cells. Their antiangiogenic capabilities were evaluated using a chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. The compound, XCF-37b, was selected as the most potent antiangiogenic inhibitor with noncytotoxicity to evaluate the pharmacological effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that XCF-37b inhibited HT29-cell colon tumor growth in vivo, without showing cytotoxicity against the five other cancer cell lines in vitro. Experiments confirmed that XCF-37b had obvious antiangiogenic activity by HUVEC migration and invasion and rat aortic ring angiogenesis ex vivo. Mechanism studies showed that XCF-37b inhibited the AKT/mTOR and VEGFR2 signaling pathways, as evidenced by decreased expressions of phosphor-AKT (p-AKT), p-mTOR, p-VEGFR2 (Tyr175), p-Src (Tyr416), p-FAK (Tyr925), and p-Erk1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204). Moreover, XCF-37b significantly decreased the protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9 and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). XCF-37b generally regulated angiogenic inhibition through several regulatory pathways, without significantly interfering with colorectal cancer cell growth.

A very low amount of organic dye (Alizarin red S) sensitized TiO2 and it was successfully used to catalyze cascade C(sp3)-H to C(sp2)-H bond formation/cyclization reactions under visible light irradiation. The modified TiO2 photocatalyst efficiently, for the first time, advanced [4+2] cyclization of N,N-dimethylanilines and maleimides to the corresponding tetrahydroquinolines in air atmosphere. The reaction proceeds through α-amino radicals without additional oxidant at ambient temperature to afford products in good to excellent yields.

- Catalyst and Additive-Free Diastereoselective 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Quinolinium Imides with Olefins, Maleimides, and Benzynes: Direct Access to Fused N,N′-Heterocycles with Promising Activity against a Drug-Resistant Malaria Parasite
-
A convenient and eco-friendly synthesis of various fused N-heterocyclic compounds through catalyst and additive-free 1,3 dipolar cycloadditions of quinolinium imides with olefins, maleimides, and benzynes in excellent yields and diastereoselectivities is reported. The thermally controlled diastereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between quinolinium imides and olefins provided cis-isomers at low temperature and trans-isomers at high temperature. A reaction between quinolinium imides with substituted maleimides gave four-ring-fused N-heterocyclic compounds in high yields as a single diastereomer. The aryne precursors also provided four-ring-fused N,N′-heterocyclic compounds in high yields. The in vitro antiplasmodial activity of selected molecules revealed that this class of molecules possesses potential for ongoing studies against malaria.

Nano-sized CdS was successfully prepared, fully characterized and applied as a highly efficient reusable photocatalyst for the synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinolone and pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-8-carboxylate derivatives through a condensation reaction of N,N-dimethylanilines or alkyl 2-(3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)acetates with maleimides via a C-H activation approach under benign and eco-friendly conditions at room temperature without using any solvent and oxidant under visible light irradiation. Besides, the prepared photocatalyst has been successfully applied for the condensation reaction of N,N-dimethylanilines with alkyl but-2-ynedioates or phenyl acetylenes for the synthesis of novel 1,2-dihydroquinoline-3,4-dicarboxylate and aryl-1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives for the first time. Using this method, all favourable products were obtained in good yields and relatively short reaction times under benign conditions with the application of visible light irradiation, a renewable energy source. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused several times without any loss of its activity.

- Acetylcholinesterase inhibition by products generated in situ from the transformation of N-arylisomaleimides
-
When N-arylisomaleimides were transformed under enzymatic reaction conditions, the transformation reaction proved to be influenced by electronic effects. This was demonstrated qualitatively by 1H NMR spectroscopy and quantitatively by monitoring the kinetic of isomerization of N-phenylisomaleimide to N-phenylmaleimide. Subsequently, the first pseudo-order and activation energy (Ea) of the process were determined. The compounds showed in situ influence on AChE inhibition. The derivatives with electron-withdrawing groups exhibited a better effect than those having electron-donating groups. The in silico experiments show that the ligands evaluated established interactions with the CAS site. This suggests that these compounds could be useful for generating better reversible and competitive inhibitors of AChE.

- Continuous efficient production method for high-purity N-substituted maleamic acid
-
The invention belongs to the technical field of fine chemicals and particularly relates to a continuous efficient production method for high-purity N-substituted maleamic acid. The method comprises the following steps: solutions are prepared from primary amine and maleic anhydride respectively by inert solvents in nitrogen protective atmosphere; the two solutions are added to an efficient mixer inproportion for mixing; the mole ratio of primary amine and maleic anhydride is 1:1.0-1.5, a reaction product is treated by a solid-liquid separation unit, and the product amido carboxylic acid is separated; a liquid solution separated out by the solid-liquid separation unit and a liquid solution obtained after separation of the product amido carboxylic acid are used for preparing the primary amine and maleic anhydride solutions circularly. With adoption of the method for continuously and efficiently synthesizing high-purity N-substituted maleamic acid with high yield and high selectivity witha reaction-separation coupling control reaction technology, the adding way of primary amine and maleic anhydride and standing time of a chemical reaction are controlled, and isomerization and Michaeladdition side reactions are avoided effectively through rapid reaction and rapid separation.

- Solvent Influence on the Diels-Alder Reaction Rates of 9-(Hydroxymethyl)anthracene and 9,10-Bis(hydroxymethyl)anthracene with Two Maleimides
-
The rates of the Diels–Alder reaction of 9-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene and 9,10-bis(hydroxymethyl)anthracene with maleic anhydride and two maleimides, N-ethyl- and N-phenylmaleimide, have been studied at various temperatures and pressures in different solvent media. A rate acceleration in water in comparison with organic solvents is observed. Thermodynamic functions of activation for the reaction of 9,10-bis(hydroxymethyl)anthracene with N-ethylmaleimide in binary 1,4-dioxane–water mixtures are determined. From the observed tendencies, it can be concluded that acceleration of the Diels–Alder reactions in water is linked with an energetically favorable dehydration of the reaction centers of the reactants on the way to the activated complex. Addition of an organic cosolvent makes the desolvation of these centers less favorable.

- Stable and Rapid Thiol Bioconjugation by Light-Triggered Thiomaleimide Ring Hydrolysis
-
Maleimide-mediated thiol-specific derivatization of biomolecules is one of the most efficacious bioconjugation approaches currently available. Alarmingly, however, recent work demonstrates that the resulting thiomaleimide conjugates are susceptible to breakdown via thiol exchange reactions. Herein, we report a new class of maleimides, namely o-CH2NHiPr phenyl maleimides, that undergo unprecedentedly rapid ring hydrolysis after thiol conjugation to form stable thiol exchange-resistant conjugates. Furthermore, we overcome the problem of low shelf lives of maleimide reagents owing to their propensity to undergo ring hydrolysis prior to bioconjugation by developing a photocaged version of this scaffold that resists ring hydrolysis. UV irradiation of thiol bioconjugates formed with this photocaged maleimide unleashes rapid thiomaleimide ring hydrolysis to yield the desired stable conjugates within 1 h under gentle, ice-cold conditions.

The Diels–Alder (DA) reaction, a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction, is highly important in synthetic organic chemistry and is frequently used in the synthesis of natural products containing six-membered rings. Herein, we report an efficient protocol for the DA reaction between 9-hydroxymethylanthracene and N-substituted maleimides using two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) as a heterogeneous carbocatalyst in an aqueous medium at room temperature. High yields, a wide substrate scope, low temperature, excellent functional group tolerance, atom economy, and water as a green solvent are noteworthy features of this protocol. The heterogeneous GO catalyst can be easily recovered and used multiple times without any significant loss in catalytic activity.

The thermal stabilization of poly(vinyl chloride) through blending techniques has been studied. Poly(vinyl chloride) was blended with modified polymer (cellulose acetate-diallyl amine) in different compositions to improve the thermal stability of poly(vinyl chloride). The thermal stability and morphology of the blend films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermogravimetry. The results revealed that the presence of modified cellulose acetate improved the thermal stability of poly(vinyl chloride). This was attributed to the thermal stable diallylamine moieties among the cellulose acetate chains. The addition of traces of maleimide derivatives to poly(vinyl chloride) prior to the blend process led to an extra thermal stability of the blend film as shown from the values of the initial decomposition temperature (To) measured by thermogravimetry.

- Visible light mediated cyclization of tertiary anilines with maleimides using nickel(II) oxide surface-modified titanium dioxide catalyst
-
Surface-modified titanium dioxides by highly dispersed NiO particles have an extended absorption in the visible light region and a reduced hole-electron pair recombination than unmodified TiO2. They have now been successfully applied as highly active heterogeneous photocatalysts in the visible light mediated direct cyclization of tertiary anilines with maleimides to give tetrahydroquinoline products in moderate to high yields at ambient temperature. In contrast with unmodified titanium dioxide catalysts that are conventionally used in a stoichiometric amount in combination with UVA light, only a catalytic amount (1 mol %) of the surface-modified TiO2 catalyst is needed along with visible light to efficiently catalyze the reaction. Compared with transition-metal complexes such as Ru(bpy)3Cl2 or Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)PF6, advantages of these surface-modified titanium dioxides as photocatalyst include high catalytic activity, low cost, ease of recovering, and being able to be used for at least nine times without significant decay of catalytic activity.

- Identification of an anti-inflammatory derivative with anti-cancer potential: The impact of each of its structural components on inflammatory responses in macrophages and bladder cancer cells
-
Inflammation plays a crucial role in many types of cancer and is known to be involved in their initiation and promotion. As such, it is presently recognized as an important risk factor for several types of cancers such as bladder, prostate and breast cancers. The discovery of novel anti-inflammatory compounds can have a huge implication not only for the treatment of cancer but also as preventive and protective treatment modalities. We have recently identified a new compound (1) that presents interesting anti-inflammatory activity. In order to better understand its biological action, we have divided the molecule in its basic components and verified their respective contribution towards the anti-inflammatory response of the whole molecule. We have discovered that only the combination of the maleimide function together with the tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazinamide function lead to important anti-inflammatory properties. The main derivative 1 can decrease the activating effects of INFγ or IL6 on human (hMωs) macrophages by 38% or by 64% at a concentration of 10 μM as indicated by a decrease of STAT1 or STAT3 activation. The expression of pro-inflammatory markers CD40 and MHCII in INFγ stimulated hMωs were reduced by 87% and 49%, respectively with a 3 h pretreatment of 1 at 10 μM. The cell motility assay revealed that 1 at 10 μM can reduce relative cell motility induced by IL6 by 92% in comparison with the untreated control hMω monolayers. Compound 1 reduced by 91% the inflammatory response induced by the cytokines (INFγ + TNFα) in the macrophage-like J774A.1 cells at a concentration of 25 μM, as measured by the detection of NO production with the Griess reagent. Furthermore, upon removal of the tert-butyloxycarbonyl protective group the unprotected derivative as a hydrochloride salt (1A) retains interesting anti-inflammatory activity and was found to be less toxic than the parent compound (1).

- Study of the diels-alder and retro-diels-alder reaction between furan derivatives and maleimide for the creation of new materials
-
The Diels-Alder reaction leads to a mixture of two diastereomers, one called endo and the other one exo. The cyclo-reversion temperature of the first one is lower than the exo adduct and the ratio between endo and exo adducts varies according to the substituents of the Diels-Alder partners and experimental parameters. Therefore, the influence of some reaction parameters such as the substituents of furan and maleimide derivatives, the reaction temperature and the presence of a nucleophile on the endo/exo Diels-Alder ratio and/or the retro-Diels-Alder reaction have been studied. For instance, furan and maleimide derivatives with electron withdrawing substituents induced the creation of the endo adduct preferentially. Also the presence of a far electron withdrawing substituent on furan and/or an electron attracting mesomeric substituent on maleimide resulted in a faster reversibility of the endo adduct. Finally, a high temperature and the presence of a nucleophile (thiol) also induced faster retro-Diels-Alder kinetics. Moreover, it was proved that isomerization from the endo to the exo diastereomer is preceded by a retro-Diels-Alder reaction of the endo adduct. The presence of a nucleophile in the mixture confirmed this result. This study allowed the highlighting of different parameters of the Diels-Alder reaction to obtain as much endo adduct as possible, and a fast and/or full retro-Diels-Alder reaction of this adduct.

- Unusual regio- and stereo-selectivity in Diels-Alder reactions between bulky N-phenylmaleimides and anthracene derivatives
-
Unusual regio- and stereo-selectivity in Diels-Alder (D-A) reactions were achieved between bulky N-phenylmaleimides and anthracene derivatives. Using multiple substituents with steric hindrance on both diene and dienophile, a noticeable shift toward 1,4-addition was successfully obtained. The substrate scope in this reaction was broad and the highest yield of anti-1,4-adducts was over 90%. Novel structures of anti-1,4-adducts were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. This study not only provides the first reported method of synthesizing anti-1,4-adducts and achieving otherwise unattainable regio- and stereo-selectivity, but also elucidates the importance of combining the steric effects of two reactants to shift products toward 1,4-adducts. Moreover, the resulting 1,4-adducts could be further functionalized through their halogen groups via carbon-carbon coupling reactions.

- An expeditious synthesis of imides from phthalic, maleic and succinic anhydrides and chemoselective C=C reduction of maleic amide esters
-
Phthalic, maleic and succinic anhydrides have been reacted with aromatic amines to obtain the corresponding monoacid monoamides. The latter have been each transformed into the corresponding cyclic imide derivatives by treating with SOCl2. Alternatively, anhydrides have been reacted with methanolic KOH to obtain monomethyl ester derivatives which on reaction with aromatic amines in the presence of EDC. HCl and HOBt give cyclic imide derivatives. Reaction of monoacid monoamides independently, with SOCl 2 at 0-5°C give the monoamide monoester derivatives. Treatment of monoamide monoester of malic anhydride with NaBH4 leads to the unusual reduction of C=C grouping as well as the carbonyl group of the ester group to from monoamide monoalcohol of succinic anhydride. Preparation of monoamide monoalcohol of succinic anhydride can also be achieved by chemoselective reduction of monoamide monoester of malic anhydride with Mg turnings yielding monoamide monoester of succinic anhydride followed by reduction of the latter with NaBH4.

The latter have each been transformed into the corresponding cyclic derivatives, i.e. imides 5, 9 and 13 respectively in solid phase by simple physical grinding of each with K 2CO3, alkylating agent and tetrabutylammoniumbromide as a catalyst with short reaction times. These cyclic imides can also be obtained by physical grinding of each of 3, 7 and 11 with dicyclohexylcarbodimide as a dehydrating agent in solid phase.

-
The synthesis of some biologically interesting pyrrolo-isoxazolidine derivatives was accomplished by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of substituted azomethine N-oxides 1 with substituted N-aryl maleimides 2 leading to the formation of new stereoisomeric 2,3,5-triaryl-4H,2,3,3a,5,6,6a- hexahydropyrrolo[3,4-d]isoxazole-4,6-dione derivatives 3 in excellent yields. The synthesized compounds have been screened for their advanced glycation end (AGE) product formation inhibitory activity on the basis of their ability to inhibit the formation of AGEs in the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-glucose assay. All the synthesized compounds have been found to exhibit significant activity against AGE formation.

- A facile and economical procedure for the synthesis of maleimide derivatives using an acidic ionic liquid as a catalyst
-
Seven maleimide derivatives were synthesized in good yields and high purity from the corresponding maleamic acids using a Bronsted acidic room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) as a catalyst. The products were obtained through merely a decanting and removal of the solvent, suggesting that this procedure is superior to the conventional routes, in which the strong organic/inorganic acids were used as the catalysts, as well as a complicated post-processing procedure for the separation and purification of the products was employed.

- Substituent effects on the regioselectivity of maleamic acid formation and hydrogen chloride addition to N-aryl maleimides
-
Itaconic anhydride reacts with aryl amines to give a substituent controlled equilibrium mixture of regioisomeric (Z)-2-methyl- and (Z)-3-methyl-4-oxo-4- (arylamino)but-2-enoic acids. Electron-donating groups favor nucleophilic attack on C-5 carbonyl, while the presence of electron-withdrawing groups enhances the bias for attack on C-2 carbonyl. The treatment of (Z)-2-methyl- and (Z)-3-methyl-4-oxo-4-(arylamino)but-2-enoic acids with SOCl2-Et 3N in THF provided the corresponding maleimides in high yields while under the same conditions the maleic anhydride aryl amine addition products gave predominately the corresponding 3-chloro-1-arylpyrrolidine-2,5-diones and maleimides in substituent dependent ratio.

- Antifungal, cytotoxic and SAR studies of a series of N-alkyl, N-aryl and N-alkylphenyl-1,4-pyrrolediones and related compounds
-
The synthesis, in vitro evaluation and SAR studies of 67 maleimides and derivatives acting as antifungal agents are reported. A detailed SAR study supported by theoretical calculations led us to determine that: an intact maleimido ring appears to be necessary for a strong antifungal activity, dissimilarly affected by the substituents in positions 2 and 3. The best activities were shown by 2,3-nonsubstituted followed by 2,3 dichloro- and 2-methyl-substituted maleimides. They all were fungicide rather than fungistatic enhancing the importance of their antifungal activity. 2,3-Dimethyl and 2,3-diphenyl-maleimides possessed marginal or null activity. The presence of a flexible connecting chain in N-phenylalkyl maleimides appears not to be essential for antifungal activity, although its length shows a correlation with the antifungal behavior, displaying maleimides with alkyl chains of n = 3 and n = 4 the best antifungal activities in most fungi. Different substituents on the benzene ring did not have a clear influence on the activity. Values of chemical potential properties as well as of energy do not sufficiently discriminate between active and inactive compounds. Nevertheless, it was found that, although log P alone is not strong enough to properly predict the antifungal activity, the comparison of its values for compounds within the same sub-type, showed an enhancement of antifungal activity along with an increment of lipophilicity. In addition, the LUMO's electronic clouds of the highly active compounds showed to be concentrated on the imido ring, indicating that their carbon atoms are potential sites for nucleophilic attack. Same results were obtained from MEPs. Most of the active compounds did not show cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines and no one possessed hemolytic activity, indicating that their activity is selective to pathogenic fungi and that they are not toxic at MIC concentrations.

- Chlorin photosensitizers sterically designed to prevent self-aggregation
-
The synthesis and photophysical evaluation of new chlorin derivatives are described. The Diels-Alder reaction between protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester and substituted maleimides furnishes endo-adducts that completely prevent the self-aggregation of the chlorins. Fluorescence, resonant light scattering (RLS) and 1H NMR experiments, as well as X-ray crystallographic have demonstrated that the configurational arrangement of the synthesized chlorins prevent π-stacking interactions between macrocycles, thus indicating that it is a nonaggregating photosensitizer with high singlet oxygen (ΦΔ) and fluorescence (Φf) quantum yields. Our results show that this type of synthetic strategy may provide the lead to a new generation of PDT photosensitizers.

- Microwave-assisted synthesis and structure-activity relationships of neuroactive pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridine derivatives
-
We described herein the optimization of the synthetic methodology exploited to obtain the pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridine sedative prototype 1a and novel analogues designed by successive molecular simplifications. By applying microwave irradiation during the hetero Diels-Alder key-step to obtain the heterotricyclic scaffold, under solvent-free conditions, we were able to obtain the desired compounds in drastically shorter times and better yields. Additionally, in vivo evaluation of the sedative effects of these heterocyclic derivatives showed that 1a and the novel structurally-related analogue 1e were the most efficient compounds to impair the locomotor activity in mice at the dose of 10 μmol/kg.

- Terification of maleamic acids without double bond isomerization
-
Activation of the carboxylic acid group of a maleamic acid by treatment with an arenesulfonyl chloride followed by addition of an alcohol affords a fumaramate or a maleamate, depending on the reaction conditions. The E isomer is obtained when the acid is treated with nearly equimolar amounts of 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride and an alcohol in pyridine. Replacement of pyridine by 2-picoline and use of a larger excess of activating agent (mesitylenesulfonyl chloride) and alcohol affords the Z isomer. In both cases, high diastereomeric excesses and yields are achieved.

- Derivatives of aryl amines containing the cytotoxic 1,4-dioxo-2-butenyl pharmacophore
-
Several series of compounds containing the 1,4-dioxo-2-butenyl moiety have been prepared as candidate cytotoxins, including the methyl N-arylmaleamates, methyl N-arylfumaramates, and N-arylmaleimides. In addition, the N-arylisomaleimides were synthesized which are the structural isomers of N-arylmaleimides. These compounds were evaluated against human Molt 4/C8 and CEM T-lymphocytes as well as murine L1210 cells. Methyl N-arylfumaramates showed the highest cytotoxic potencies and, in particular, methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)fumaramate is six times more potent than melphalan towards L1210 cells and is equipotent with this drug in the Molt 4/C8 assay. Electrophilicity of compounds under investigation was demonstrated by carrying out thiolation using model benzyl mercaptan on representative compounds. Methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)fumaramate and methyl N-(4-chlorophenyl)maleamate inhibited human N-myristoyltransferase, a possible molecular target, in high micromolar range. QSAR and molecular modeling revealed some correlations between different structural features of a number of the molecules and cytotoxic potencies. Methyl N-arylfumaramates were well tolerated in mice in comparison to the analogs in other series of compounds tested. The data obtained in this investigation affords guidelines for preparing new series of molecules with greater potencies.

- Identification of iminooxothiazolidines as secreted frizzled related protein-1 inhibitors
-
Secreted frizzled related protein-1 (sFRP-1) inhibitors have the potential to be used for the treatment of osteoporosis or other bone related disorders, since the level of sFRP-1 affects osteoblast apoptosis and proliferation. From high throughput screening, we have identified a class of iminooxothiazolidines as sFRP-1 inhibitors. Structure-activity relationships were established for various regions of the scaffold along with the biochemical characterization of this class to probe selectivity, binding and ex vivo activity.

- N-Phenyl and N-phenylalkyl-maleimides acting against Candida spp.: Time-to-kill, stability, interaction with maleamic acids
-
N-Phenyl and N-phenylalkyl maleimides (alkyl chain = (CH2)n; n = 0-4) and their respective open derivatives (maleamic acids) were evaluated against Candida spp. with the microbroth dilution method following the guidelines of CLSI (formely NCCLS). MIC values of maleimides without pre-incubation and submitted to different pre-incubation times into the growth media, time-to-kill studies as well as a time-dependent UV-spectroscopy study of the maleimides in water, led to determine that maleimides display antifungal activities with their intact maleimide ring, being in addition their activities not dependent on the length of the alkyl chain. They are not only fungistatic but fungicidal with very low MICs and MFCs, displaying strong fungicide activities not only against standardized but also clinical isolates of Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida spp.

A series of N-(alkyl/aryl)-2-(3-oxo-1,4-benzothiazin-2-yl)acetamide have been synthesized by condensation of substituted amines with maleic anhydride (MA) followed by cyclization with o-aminothiophenol (o-ATP). All the compounds have been screened for their antifungal activity against Tricophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum and Malassazia furfur. In the primary screening, some of the compounds exhibited appreciable activity. The structures of the synthesized compounds 7a-z have been established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data.

- In vitro antifungal properties, structure-activity relationships and studies on the mode of action of N-phenyl, N-aryl, N-phenylalkyl maleimides and related compounds
-
The synthesis, in vitro antifungal evaluation and structure-activity relationship studies of 14 compounds of the N-phenyl-, N-aryl-, N-phenylalkyl- maleimide and 3,4-dichloromaleimide series are reported. The compounds were evaluated against a panel of standardized yeasts and filamentous fungi as well as clinical isolates of Candida albicans. The activities of N-phenylalkyl-3,4- dichloromaleimide derivatives but not those of N-phenylalkyl-maleimide derivatives showed to be dependent on the length of the alkyl chain. N-Phenylpropyl-3,4-dichloromaleimide showed the broadest spectrum of action and lower minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in all of the fungi tested. The nitrogen-carbon distance between the two rings seems to play an important role in the antifungal behavior of these compounds. The most active structure showed inhibited (1,3)β-D-glucan and chitin synthases, enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of the major fungal cell-wall polymers.

- Chemoselective acylation of amines in aqueous media
-
Amines are efficiently acylated by both cyclic and acyclic anhydrides by dissolving them in an aqueous medium with the help of a surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Cyclic and acyclic anhydrides react with equal ease with an amine, and amines with various stereo-electronic factors react at the same rates with an anhydride. Chemoselective acylation of amines in the presence of phenols and thiols and of thiols in the presence of phenols has been achieved. No acidic or basic reagents are used during the reaction. No Chromatographic separation is required for isolation of the acylated products. Reactions in a neutral aqueous medium, easy isolation of products, and innocuous by-products make the present method a green chemical process. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
