- A Photoregulated Racemase Mimic
-
The racemase enzymes convert L-amino acids to their D-isomer. The reaction proceeds through a stepwise deprotonation–reprotonation mechanism that is assisted by a pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) coenzyme. This work reports a PLP–photoswitch–imidazole triad where the racemization reaction can be controlled by light by tweaking the distance between the basic residue and the reaction centre.

- Matsuda-Heck Arylation of Glycals for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Aryl C-Glycosides
-
The methoxymethyl-protected glycal l-amicetal, synthesized de novo from l-ethyl lactate through tandem ring-closing metathesis-isomerization sequence, undergoes a highly trans-diastereoselective Heck-type coupling reaction with various arene diazonium salts to furnish 2,3-unsaturated aryl C-glycosides in moderate to excellent yields. The products can be further functionalized, e.g., by hydrogenation, epoxidation, or dihydroxylation to furnish 2,3,6-tridesoxy, 2,3-anhydro-6-desoxy, or 6-desoxy aryl C-glycosides, respectively. The method was applied to the synthesis of an α-configured 6-desoxy-gliflozin derivative.

- Reversible photoresponsive activity of a carbonic anhydrase mimic
-
The carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme reversibly transforms carbon dioxide and water to a carbonate ion and a proton. Photoresponsive enzyme mimics, where the CA-activity can be turned on and off reversibly with light, have not been reported so far. We have designed an active site mimic that offers reversible control of the catalytic activity using light. Moreover, in the presence of a cationic polymer, we have demonstrated that the CA-activity was further enhanced by stabilizing the transition state with the cis-form of the enzyme mimic which can catalyze the hydration of gaseous CO2.

- Visible-Light-Driven Oxidative Mono- and Dibromination of Benzylic sp 3 C-H Bonds with Potassium Bromide/Oxone at Room Temperature
-
Benzylic sp 3 C-H bonds have been successfully brominated with potassium bromide by using Oxone as an oxidant in water/dichloromethane under visible light at room temperature. Toluene, ethylbenzene and other alkylbenzenes bearing an electron-withdrawing group, such as Br, Cl, COMe, CO 2 Et, CO 2 H, CN or NO 2, provide the corresponding benzylic monobromides in good to excellent yields in this reaction. Dibromides can also be produced in the presence of excess potassium bromide in a prolonged reaction time. Control of the illuminance of visible light (~500 lux) is crucial to achieving both high yield and high selectivity in these brominations. Mono- and difluorides can be conveniently prepared through nucleophilic substitutions of the benzylic bromides with potassium fluoride.

- Synthesis and bioactivity of novel triazole incorporated benzothiazinone derivatives as antitubercular and antioxidant agent
-
In search of new active molecules against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37Ra and M. bovis BCG, a small focused library of benzothiazinone based 1,2,3-triazoles has been efficiently prepared via click chemistry approach. Several derivatives were found to be promising inhibitors of MTB and M. bovis BCG characterized by lower MIC values (27.34-29.37 μg/mL). Among all the synthesized compounds, 6c and 6e is the most active compound against MTB and M. bovis BCG. The compounds were further tested for anti-proliferative activity against HeLa, A549 and A431 cell lines using MTT assay and showed no significant cytotoxic activity at the maximum concentration evaluated. Further, the synthesized compounds were found to have potential antioxidant activity with IC50 range = 14.14-47.11 μg/mL. Furthermore, to rationalize the observed biological activity data, the molecular docking study also been carried out against a potential target MTB DprE1, which revealed a significant correlation between the binding score and biological activity for these compounds. The results of the in vitro and in silico study suggest that the triazole incorporated benzothiazinone may possess the ideal structural requirements for further development of novel therapeutic agents.

- Inhibition of M. tuberculosis β-ketoacyl CoA reductase FabG4 (Rv0242c) by triazole linked polyphenol-aminobenzene hybrids: Comparison with the corresponding gallate counterparts
-
Herein we report six novel triazole linked polyphenol-aminobenzene hybrids (3-8) as inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis FabG4 (Rv0242c), a less explored β-ketoacyl CoA reductase that has immense potential to be the future anti-tuberculosis drug target due to its possible involvement in drug resistance and latent infection. Novel triazole linked polyphenol-aminobenzene hybrids have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against FabG4. All of them inhibit FabG4 at low micromolar concentrations. In silico docking study has been carried out to explain the experimental findings. A comparative study of these new inhibitors with previously reported gallate counterparts leads to structure-activity relations (SAR) of substituent linked to N-1 of triazole ring.

-
Searching for new active molecules against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37Ra, a small focused library of 1,2,3-triazoles has been efficiently prepared via a click chemistry approach. The newly synthesized compounds were tested against drug-sensitive MTB. Several derivatives were found to be promising inhibitors of MTB characterized by lower MIC values (5.8-29.9 μg mL-1). Among all the synthesized 31 compounds, 15e was the most active compound against MTB. Based on the results from the anti-tubercular activity, SAR for the synthesized series has been developed. The active compounds from the anti-tubercular study were further tested for anti-proliferative activity against THP-1, A549 and PANC-1 cell lines using MTT assay and showed no significant cytotoxic activity against these three cell lines except THP-1 at the maximum concentration evaluated. Further, the synthesized compounds were found to have potential antioxidant activities with an IC50 range of 10.1-37.3 μg mL-1. The molecular docking study of the synthesized compounds was performed against the DprE1 enzyme of MTB to understand the binding interactions. Moreover, the synthesized compounds were also analysed for ADME properties and all the experimental results promote us to consider this series as a starting point for the development of novel and more potent anti-tubercular agents in the future.

Heterogeneous polymer-supported triphenylphosphine oxides based on the rasta resin architecture have been synthesized, and applied as reagent precursors in a wide range of halogenation reactions. The rasta resin-triphenylphosphine oxides were reacted with either oxalyl chloride or oxalyl bromide to form the corresponding halophosphonium salts, and these in turn were reacted with alcohols, aldehydes, aziridines and epoxides to form halogenated products in high yields after simple purification. The polymersupported triphenylphosphine oxides formed as a byproduct during these reactions could be recovered and reused numerous times with no appreciable decrease in reactivity.

- Anti-tubercular agents. Part 8: Synthesis, antibacterial and antitubercular activity of 5-nitrofuran based 1,2,3-triazoles
-
A series of 5-nitrofuran-triazole conjugates were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. All the compounds exhibited promising inhibition towards Gram-positive pathogenic strains, while mild inhibitory effects were observed towards Gram-negative bacterial strains. Some of the compounds 8a, 8b, 8e, 8f, 8h are most active among the series exhibiting MIC value of 1.17 μg/ml against different bacterial strains. The bactericidal activity is found to be in accordance with the bacterial growth inhibition data. Compound 8e was found to be equipotent to the standard drug Ciprofloxacin displaying MBC value of 1.17 μg/ml against the bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis. The compounds have also demonstrated promising antibacterial activity against the resistant strain MRSA and were found to be effective inhibitors of biofilm formation. The compound 8b exhibited excellent anti-biofilm activity with IC50 value as low as 0.8 μg/ml. These conjugates were also screened for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Compound 8e showed promising antitubercular activity with MIC value of 0.25 μg/ml. Most of these compounds are less toxic to normal mammalian cells than the widely used antibacterial drug Ciprofloxacin.

- Synthesis of unsymmetrical 3,4-diaryl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones utilizing pyrrole weinreb amides
-
A regiocontrolled synthesis of unsymmetrical 3,4-diaryl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones has been achieved in three steps from 1,2-diaryl-1-nitroethenes with pyrrole-2-carboxamides (pyrrole Weinreb amides) serving as the key linchpin intermediates. Two different methods for the preparation of the requisite nitroalkenes were investigated: (1) modified Henry reaction between arylnitromethanes and arylimines; and (2) Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of 2-aryl-1-bromo-1-nitroethenes with arylboronic acids. Some difficulty was encountered in the preparation of arylnitromethanes, thus leading to the exploration of a cross-coupling strategy that proved more useful. A Barton-Zard pyrrole cyclocondensation reaction between 1,2-diaryl-1-nitroethenes and N-methoxy-N-methyl-2-isocyanoacetamide gave the corresponding pyrrole Weinreb amides, which were then converted into the desired 3-pyrrolin-2-ones in two steps. Overall, this method allowed for the construction of 3,4-diaryl-3- pyrrolin-2-ones with complete regiocontrol of the substituents with respect to the lactam carbonyl. The utility of this synthetic methodology was demonstrated by the preparation of eight unsymmetrical and symmetrical 3,4-diaryl-3-pyrrolin- 2-ones including the N-H lactam analogue of the selective COX-II inhibitor, rofecoxib.

Various substituted toluenes (NO2, Cl, Br, H, CH3) were high selectively brominated at the benzyl position for monobromination in CH2Cl2 at ice water with catalyst free. This simple but effective bromination of toluene derivatives with an aqueous H2O 2-HBr system is characterized with the use of inexpensive reagents and a lower impact on the environment, which make it a good alternative to the existing bromination methods.

The visible-light-induced transformation of toluenes with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) under solvent-free reaction conditions (SFRC) was studied. The reaction took place in spite of the very restricted molecular motion; toluenes could be regioselectively converted to benzyl bromides. Selective radical-chain reactions with NBS were carried out in liquid/liquid and in solid/solid systems; furthermore, reactions could be performed in the presence of air. The radical scavenger TEMPO (=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1- yloxy) completely suppressed the side-chain bromination of toluenes with NBS under SFRC. Electron-withdrawing groups decreased the reactivity of the toluenes, and the Hammett reaction constant ρ+ = -1.7 indicated involvement of polar radical intermediates with electrophilic character.

Synthesis of new moth-proofing agents is necessary to overcome the damage caused by clothes moths and carpet beetles to hosiery and upholstery. In the present paper substituted benzyl 2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl ethers were synthesised and evaluated for moth-proofing activity. Two compounds were found to provide protection against larvae of Anthrenus fasciatus at levels of 1.0 and 10 g kg-1 respectively. The introduction of a methyl group in the para position of the benzene ring attached to C2 of the 2-methylpropyl chain (ring A) increased moth-proofing activity. The introduction of a phenoxy ring at the meta position of the benzyl nucleus (ring B) also increased activity, while the presence of a nitro group on the benzyl nucleus (ring B) decreased activity.

A new class of α2-adrenergic receptor antagonists, the 2-(aminobenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines 4 and their derivatives, is described. Two synthetic routes are reported. An investigation of the structure-activity relationships including various substitutions of the isoquinoline moiety and the benzyl group is discussed. The affinity and selectivity for both α1- and α2-adrenoceptors was defined by studying the displacement of [3H]-prazosin (α1-sites) and [3H]-yohimbine (α2-sites) from rat brain membranes. The 2-(2-amino-3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinoline 4a presented affinity and selectivity close to yohimbine. In functional experiments the α-adrenoceptor blocking properties of 4a have been evaluated on isolated rat aorta and on the twitch responses of the isolated rat vas deferens.

The reactions between 2-nitrobenzyl pseudohalides, 2-NO2-PhCH2XCN, and pseudohalide ions, NCX- (X = S, Se or Te) have been studied kinetically in acetonitrile at 25.0 deg C.The reactions proceed through nucleophilic attack at the methylene carbon atom, forming exclusively the exchange products.The average nucleophilicity order, NCTe- >> NCSe- > NCS-, and the average leaving group order, NCTe- >/= NCSe- >/= NCS-, lead to a carbon basicity order NCTe- > NCSe- >/= NCS-, which is confirmed with equilibrium studies.A crystal structure determination of 2-nitrobenzyl tellurocyanate at ca. 135 deg C has revealed that the TeCN group is syn-clinal (gauche) to the C(CH2)-C(Ar) bond with a torsion angle of -48.5(5) deg.The TeCC plane forms an angle of 103.4(5) deg with the phenyl ring plane.In this conformation the steric influence of the 2-NO2 group in substitution reactions at the methylene carbon atom will be negligible except for bulky nucleophiles.The tellurium atom forms two fairly strong intermolecular bonds to nitrogen atoms from neighbouring tellurocyanate groups, viz. 2.889(6) Angstroem trans to the cyano group and 3.382(6) Angstroem trans to the methylene group.In the crystalline state the compound may be considered both as a tellurium(II) complex and as an organic pseudohalide.No intermolecular tellurium-oxygen contacts could be observed.
