- New cyanopyridine-based scaffold as PIM-1 inhibitors and apoptotic inducers: Synthesis and SARs study
-
Two novel series of 6-(4-benzamido-/4-phthalimido)-3-cyanopyridine derivatives were designed and synthesized as inhibitors of PIM-1 kinase. Based on cytotoxicity results via MTT assay against prostate carcinoma PC3, human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cell lines, the most potent cytotoxic cyanopyridine hits, 6, 7, 8, 12 and 13 were 1.5–3.3 times more inhibitor of cell proliferation than the reference standard, 5-FU. Selectivity profile of the latter compounds on normal human cells (WI-38), was executed, indicating that they are highly selective (IC50 > 145 μM) in their cytotoxic effect. The promising compounds were further evaluated as PIM-1 kinase inhibitors. These compounds elicited remarkable inhibition of PIM-1 kinase (76.43–53.33%). Extensive studies on apoptosis were conducted for these compounds; they enhanced caspase-3 and boosted the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio 27-folds in comparison to the control. Molecular docking study of the most potent compound, 13 in PIM-1 kinase active site was consistent with the in vitro activity. Finally, prediction of chemo-informatic properties released compound 13 as the most promising ligand.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of anti-tubercular activity of Schiff bases of 2-Amino thiazoles
-
Tuberculosis, an infectious disease, has been reported to cause the death of 1.5 million in 2018. Due to the emergence of Multi-Drug Resistant-TB, Extensively Drug Resistant-TB, and Totally Drug Resistant-TB, many first-line and second-line drugs have been found in-effective. New drugs introduced in TB regimens such as pretomanid, bedaquiline and linezolid have been associated with toxicities. Hence, there is an urgent need for introducing safe and cost-effective antitubercular drugs. In this study, a series of Schiff bases of 2-amino thiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain by Microplate Alamar Blue assay (MABA) method. N-[4-(2-Amino-thiazol-4-yl)-phenyl]-benzamide derivative with 2-nitro (5c2), 4-hydroxy (5c4) substitution, 2-[4-(2-Amino-thiazol-4-yl)-phenyl]-isoindole-1,3-dione derivatives with 3,4,5-trimethoxy substitution (5b1) and the compound 1-[4-(2-Amino-thiazol-4-yl)-phenyl]-pyrrole-2,5-dione (4a) which is a maleic derivative bearing thiazole ring, exhibited good anti-tubercular activity (MIC 6.25 μg/ml). Drug likeness was also evaluated for all the synthesised compounds using Molinspiration software. All synthesized compounds fulfilled the parameters of the Lipinski rule of five and showed drug-like properties. Through this study, it was proved that thiazole analogues have good anti-tubercular potentials.

- Visible-Light-Induced Metal-/Photocatalyst-Free C-H Bond Imidation of Arenes
-
In this study, a visible-light-induced intermolecular C-H bond imidation of arenes was achieved at ambient condition. By using simple phthalimide with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and molecular iodine, direct metal-/photocatalyst-free C-N bond formation was achieved. The imidation protocol was designed by using time-dependent density functional theory calculations and experimentally demonstrated for 28 substrates with as high as 96% yield. Mechanistic studies indicated that radical-mediated aromatic substitution occurred via photolysis of N-iodophthalimide under visible-light irradiation.

- Biginelli Synthesis of Novel Dihydropyrimidinone Derivatives Containing Phthalimide Moiety
-
A new series of novel Biginelli compounds, 5-benzoyl-substituted phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (1-10), were synthesized from enaminone, 2-{4-[(2E)-3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-enoyl]phenyl}-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (IV), which was synthesized by refluxing 2-(4-acetylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (III), with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) without solvent for 12 h. The compound 2-(4-acetylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (III) was obtained by reacting phthalic anhydride (I) with para-aminoacetophenone (II) in glacial acetic acid for 2 h. The dihydropyrimidinone derivatives containing phthalimide moiety (1-10) were obtained by reacting enaminone, 2-{4-[(2E)-3-(dimethylamino) prop-2-enoyl] phenyl}-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (IV), with urea and different substituted benzaldehydes in the presence of glacial acetic acid for 3 h. Simple and efficient method was employed to synthesize the dihydropyrimidinone derivatives containing phthalimide moiety. Structures of all the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods.

- Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel Isoindoline-1,3-dione Derivatives as Anticancer Agents
-
Abstract: N-Substituted imides, isoindoline-1,3-dione derivatives, were synthesized, characterized, and investigated against blood cancer using K562 and Raji cell lines. Cytotoxicity assay was performed to determine the influence of phthalimide derivatives on the survival of the cancer cells. In addition, flow-cytometry with annexin-V-conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and propidium iodide (PI) stains were used to investigate the type of cell death induced by our phthalimide derivatives. 2-(4-(2-Bromoacetyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione showed the most inhibitory effect on the viability of the cancer cells (CC50 = 0.26 μg/mL for Raji cells and 3.81 μg/mL for K562 cells). As a result, 2-(4-(2-bromoacetyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione was selected for further investigations to determine the type of cellular death against Raji cells. The analysis found that this compound induced apoptosis and necrosis in Raji cells. Our findings provide a basis for a further study to investigate the impact of additional alkylating imides on the survival of blood cancer cells, particularly against Raji cells.

- Ru-Catalyzed Selective C-H Bond Hydroxylation of Cyclic Imides
-
We report on cyclic imides as weak directing groups for selective monohydroxylation reactions using ruthenium catalysis. Whereas acyclic amides are known to promote the hydroxylation of the C(sp2)-H bond enabling five-membered ring ruthenacycle intermediates, the cyclic imides studied herein enabled the hydroxylation of the C(sp2)-H bond via larger six-membered ruthenacycle intermediates. Furthermore, monohydroxylated products were exclusively obtained (even in the presence of overstoichiometric amounts of reagents), which was rationalized by the difficulty to accommodate coplanar intermediates once the first hydroxyl group was introduced into the substrate. The same reactivity was observed in the presence of palladium catalysts.

- The aminocarbonylation of 1,2-diiodoarenes with primary and secondary amines catalyzed by palladium complexes with imidazole ligands
-
The efficient carbonylative cyclization of 1,2-diiodobenzene with different primary and secondary amines was performed using a palladium complex with an imidazole ligand, PdCl2(BIM)2, as a catalyst. In reactions performed at 1 atm of CO with primary amines, phthalimides were obtained as the only products with yields of up to 100% in 4 h. An even shorter time, 1 h, was sufficient to obtain the same products employing methyl-2-iodobenzoate as a substrate instead of 1,2-diiodobenzene. In an analogous reaction with secondary amines, 1,2-diiodobenzene was converted to three products, formed in amounts dependent on the reaction conditions. The presence of Pd NPs and soluble palladium intermediates indicated their participation in the catalytic reaction.

- Synthesis of novel isoindoline-1,3-dione-based oximes and benzenesulfonamide hydrazones as selective inhibitors of the tumor-associated carbonic anhydrase IX
-
The synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of a library of isoindoline-1,3-dione-based oximes and benzenesulfonamide hydrazones is disclosed. The set of hydroxyiminoethyl aromatic derivatives 10–18 was designed to assess the potentiality as zinc-binder for a feebly studied functional group in the field of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibition. Analogue phenylphthalimmides were linked to benzenesulfonamide scaffold by hydrazone spacers in the second subset of derivatives 20–28 to further investigate the application of the “tail approach” as tool to afford CA selective inhibition profiles. The compounds were assayed for the inhibition of physiologically relevant isoforms of human carbonic anhydrases (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1), the cytosolic CA I and II, and the membrane-bound CA IV and tumor-associated CA IX. The new zinc-binders, both of the oxime and sulfonamide types, showed a striking selective activity against the target hCA IX over ubiquitous hCA I and II, with diverse inhibitory ranges and ratio differing the two subsets. With CA IX being a strongly current antitumor/antimetastatic drug target, these series of compounds may be of interest for the development of new, both conventional and unconventional anticancer drugs targeting hypoxia-induced CA isoforms such as CA IX with minimum ubiquitous CAs-related side effects.

- Open-air N-arylation of N-H heterocycles with arylboronic acids catalyzed by copper(II) Schiff base complexes
-
Two copper Schiff base complexes, in both homogeneous and heterogeneous forms, were prepared and characterized by using elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The catalytic performances of these complexes were studied in the N-arylation of N-H heterocycles with arylboronic acids in methanol without any added base at 40 °C under open air. The effects of various parameters such as solvent and temperature on the reaction system were studied. The reaction is applicable to a wide variety of N-H heterocycles and arylboronic acids. The heterogeneous catalyst was recovered by simple filtration, and reusability experiments showed that this catalyst can be used five times without much loss in the catalytic activity.

- Carbonylative cyclization of o-halobenzoic acids for synthesis of N-substituted phthalimides using polymer-supported palladium-N-heterocyclic carbene as an efficient, heterogeneous, and reusable catalyst
-
The carbonylative cyclization of o-iodobenzoic acid with a variety of primary amines and carbon monoxide (1 bar) using a polymer-supported palladium-N-heterocyclic carbene complex (PS-Pd-NHC) as the catalyst gives N-substituted 1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-diones (phthalimides) in good to excellent yields with a short reaction time. The catalyst is efficient, heterogeneous, and phosphine-free, it exhibited remarkable activity and it is also recyclable (4 consecutive cycles). The use of methyl o-iodobenzoate as the substrate under these conditions also gave N-substituted 1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-diones, but with lower yields. Cyclization of o-iodobenzyl alcohol with carbon monoxide under these conditions gave isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (phthalide). Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.

- Palladium on carbon: An efficient, heterogeneous and reusable catalytic system for carbonylative synthesis of N-substituted phthalimides
-
The application of palladium on carbon (Pd/C) as a heterogeneous recyclable catalyst was investigated for the double carbonylation of o-dihaloarenes with amines providing excellent yield of N-substituted phthalimides in shorter reaction time as compared to earlier reported homogeneous protocols. Furthermore, the scope of the developed protocol was applied for the synthesis N-substituted phthalimides from o-halobenzoates and o-halobenzoic acid via a single step carbonylative cyclization reaction. The developed methodology describes an efficient one-step approach for the synthesis of an important class of heterocycles and tolerates a wide variety of functional groups. It circumvents the use of phosphine ligands with an additional advantage of catalyst recyclability for up to eight consecutive cycles. Copyright

-
Two series of para disubstituted benzenes were studied: 2-(4-X-phenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindole-1,3-diones (1) and 3-(4-X-phenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2,4-diones (2). Their 1H and 13C chemical shifts were correlated with substituent shift increments (SSI) aj and zj, respectively. For 13C chemical shifts, all four zj values, zj, zo, zm, and zp, were used to check the assignment and to find out possible variables for improvement of regression equations. Significant deviations from plain additivity were observed in the case of δH3 and δC3 chemical shifts. This can be explained by changes in diamagnetic anisotropy contribution induced by different twist of 4-substituent from the benzene plane caused by variable substituent in position 1.

- Preparation of N-Substituted Phthalimides by Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation and Coupling of o-Dihalo Aromatics and Primary Amines

A novel method for the formation of N-substituted phthalimides is described which is based on the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation and coupling of o-dihalo aromatics and primary amines.Optimal conditions established for the reaction using o-diiodobenzene and aniline were DMAc (0.2 M), 115 deg C, 90 psi of CO, 3 percent PdCl2L2, and 2.4 equiv of DBU.This process is tolerant of a wide variety of functional groups and gives good yields of the desired products.Variables such as temperature, catalyst type and loading, CO pressure, solvent, and base were examined to optimize this reaction.The reaction of aniline with 1,2-dibromocyclopentene under similar conditions gave a variety of products.

- TRANSMISSION OF SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS IN N-(p-SUBSTITUTED PHENYL)-PHTHALIMIDES
-
Chemical shifts of benzene part of the title compounds have been correlated with substituent chemical shift (SCS) increments a for 1H and z for 13C NMR spectra.These correlations gave pieces of information not only about the through-conjugation of substituents but also about the change of the twist about the central N-C bond with the change of substituent in the para-position.In such a way the electronic effects of substituents have been studied together with the effects due to conformational changes which manifest themselves with the change in the van der Waalsrepulsion and/or diamagnetic anisotropy of double bond.Chemical shifts in phthalimide part of molecule have been related to the electronic effect of distant substituent after separation of the main source of variation from random error by principal component analysis.
