- β-Carboline Alkaloids 9 [1]. Total Synthesis of the β-Carboline Alkaloids Arenarine A and (±)Arenarine B
-
The first total synthesis of the β-carboline alkaloids arenarine A (1) and arenarine B (2) is described. Methanolysis of the α-bromoketone 9 gives 1 in good yield. Alternatively 1 can be obtained from the diazoketone 11 with boron trifluoride/methanol in poor yield. Reduction of 1 with sodium borohydride gives racemic arenarine B (2). Regioselective homolytic methylation of norharmane (4) with tert-butyl hydroperoxide/ferrous sulfate gives the alkaloid harmane (6).

- A convenient synthesis of β-carbolines by iron-catalyzed aerobic decarboxylative/dehydrogenative aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines under air
-
A convenient synthesis for the conversion of various substituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines has been developed by iron-catalyzed decarboxylative/dehydrogenative aromatization to construct aromatic β-carbolines under air atmosphere. In the presence of a FeCl3 catalyst, this reaction exhibited a good functional group tolerance to produce corresponding β-carbolines in good yields in the absence of any additive. Additionally, the utility of the method was highlighted in the gram-scale synthesis of important natural β-carboline synthons norharmane (2a) and harmane (2b), which the latter provide practical access towards eudistomin N and nostocarboline.

- Visible light mediated selective oxidation of alcohols and oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles using scalable and reusable La-doped NiWO4nanoparticles
-
Visible light-mediated selective and efficient oxidation of various primary/secondary benzyl alcohols to aldehydes/ketones and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of partially saturated heterocycles using a scalable and reusable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst in aqueous medium are described. A systematic study led to a selective synthesis of aldehydes under an argon atmosphere while the ODH of partially saturated heterocycles under an oxygen atmosphere resulted in very good to excellent yields. The methodology is atom economical and exhibits excellent tolerance towards various functional groups, and broad substrate scope. Furthermore, a one-pot procedure was developed for the sequential oxidation of benzyl alcohols and heteroaryl carbinols followed by the Pictet-Spengler cyclization and then aromatization to obtain the β-carbolines in high isolated yields. This methodology was found to be suitable for scale up and reusability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the oxidation of structurally diverse aryl carbinols and ODH of partially saturated N-heterocycles using a recyclable and heterogeneous photoredox catalyst under environmentally friendly conditions.

- Reusable, homogeneous water soluble photoredox catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles in a biphasic system: Application to the synthesis of biologically active natural products
-
Herein, a simple and efficient method for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of tetrahydro-β-carbolines, indolines and tetrahydro-(iso)quinolines is described using a reusable, homogeneous cobalt-phthalocyanine photoredox catalyst in a biphasic medium. A biphasic system offers an advantage of easy separation of the product and an efficient reusability of the homogeneous photoredox catalyst. Also, the current system significantly helps to overcome the solubility issue of the substrate and catalyst at room temperature. Its potential applications to organic transformations are demonstrated by the synthesis of various biologically active N-heterocycles such as indoles, (iso)quinolines and β-carbolines and natural products such as eudistomin U, norharmane, and harmane and precursors to perlolyrine and flazin. Without isolation and purification, the catalyst solution can be reused up to 5 times with almost comparable reactivity. Furthermore, the efficiency of the reaction was demonstrated on a gram scale. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on ODH reactions using a non noble, reusable and homogeneous cobalt photoredox catalyst under environmentally friendly conditions.

-
A series of N-acylhydrazone-linked, heterobivalent β-carboline derivatives was designed and synthesized from L-tryptophan in a nine-step reaction sequence. The effort resulted in the heterobivalent β-carbolines 10a–t in good yields. The target compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The in vitro cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against normal EA.HY926 cells and five cancer cell lines: LLC (Lewis lung carcinoma), BGC-823 (gastric carcinoma), CT-26 (murine colon carcinoma), Bel-7402 (liver carcinoma), and MCF-7 (breast carcinoma). Compound 10e, with an IC50 value of 2.41 μM against EA.HY926 cells, was the most potent inhibitor. It showed cytotoxicity against all five cancer cell lines of different origin – murine and human, with IC50 values ranging from 4.2 ± 0.7 to 18.5 ± 3.1 μM. A study of structure-activity relationships indicated that the influence on cytotoxic activities of the substituent in the R9′-position followed the tendency, 2,3,4,5,6-perfluorophenylmethyl > 4-fluorobenzyl > 3-phenylpropyl group. The antitumor efficacies of the selected compounds were also evaluated in mice. Compound 10e exhibited potent antitumor activity, with tumor inhibition of more than 40% for Sarcoma 180 and 36.7% for Lewis lung cancer. Furthermore, the pharmacological mechanisms showed that compound 10e has a certain impairment in the motility of LLC cells, which suggests the anti-metastatic potential. And compound 10e inhibited angiogenesis in chicken chorioallantoic membrane assay, and the anti-angiogenetic potency was more potent than the reference drug combretastatin A4-phosphate (CA4P) at a concentration 50 μM.

- Simultaneous generation of acrylamide, β-carboline heterocyclic amines and advanced glycation ends products in an aqueous Maillard reaction model system
-
The simultaneous formation of acrylamide; β-carboline heterocyclic amines (HAs): harmane and norharmane; and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) (Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL)) was analyzed based on an aqueous model system. The model systems included lysine–glucose (Lys/Glu), asparagine–glucose (Asn/Glu), tryptophan–glucose (Trp/Glu), and a mixture of these amino acids (Mix/Glu). Only AGEs were generated when heated at 100 °C, Asn and Trp competed with Lys for glucose and methylglyoxal (MGO), and glyoxal (GO) decreased AGE content. The k value of CML, CEL, and acrylamide decreased when heated at 130 °C, whereas that of harmane increased in the Mix/Glu, owing to the competition between Lys and Asn for glucose, GO, and MGO. Harmane preferably formed via the Pictet–Spengler condensation between Trp and acetaldehyde, which further reduced acrylamide formation via the acrolein pathway.

Tetrahydro-β-carboline (THBC) is a tricyclic ring system that can be found in a large number of bioactive alkaloids. Herein, we report a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of enantiopure THBCs through a chiral thiosquaramide (11b) catalyzed imine reduction of dihydro-β-carbolines (17a-f). The in situ generated Pd-H employed as hydride source in the reaction of differently substituted chiral THBCs (18a-f) afforded high selectivities (R isomers, up to 96% ee) and good isolated yields (up to 88%). Moreover, the chiral thiosquaramide used also afforded exceptional catalyst activity in the syntheses of (-)-coerulescine (5) and (-)-horsfiline (6) with excellent enantioselectivities up to 98% and 93% ee, respectively, via an enantioselective oxidative rearrangement approach.

A series of novel N9-heterobivalent β-carbolines has been synthesized. All the novel compounds were tested for their anticancer activity against six tumour cell lines in vitro. Among these molecules, compounds 5b, and 5w exhibited strong cytotoxic activities with IC50 value of lower than 20 μM. Acute toxicities and antitumor efficacies of the selected compounds in mice were also evaluated, compounds 5b and 5w exhibited that tumour inhibition rate of over 40% in the Sarcoma 180 and Lewis lung cancer animal models. Preliminary structure–activity relationships (SARs) analysis indicated that: (1) C1-methylation and C7-methoxylation were favorable for increased activities; (2) 3-Pyridyl or 2-thienyl group substituent into position-1 of the β-carboline core, and the aryl substituent into another β-carboline ring might be detrimental to cytotoxic effects of this class compounds. Investigation of the preliminary mechanism of action demonstrated that compound 5b had obvious angiogenesis inhibitory effects in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay.

-
The first total synthesis of arborisidine, a unique Kopsia indole alkaloid possessing a fully substituted cyclohexanone ring system with two quaternary carbons, has been achieved in seven steps in racemic format from tryptamine and in nine steps in asymmetric format from d-tryptophan methyl ester. Key elements of the design include a carefully orchestrated decyanation protocol to finalize the asymmetric formation of an aza-quaternary center that is challenging to access in optically active format via direct Pictet-Spengler cyclizations with tryptamine, a metal-promoted 6-endo-dig cyclization of an enyne to establish the second core quaternary center, and regiospecific functionalizations of the resultant complex diene to finalize the target structure. The distinct and efficient nature of the developed solution is highlighted by several unsuccessful approaches and unexpected rearrangements.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of asymmetric dimeric β-carboline derivatives as potential antitumor agents
-
A series of newly asymmetric dimeric β-carbolines with a spacer of 4–6 methylene units between the indole nitrogen and the harmine oxygen were synthesized. Structures of all the novel synthesized compounds were confirmed by their spectral and analytical studies. All of the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against nine cancer cell lines. The results revealed that compounds 7c, 7o and 7s exhibited the highest cytotoxic activities with IC50 values of less than 20 μM against the tumor cell lines tested. Acute toxicities and antitumor efficacies of the selected compounds in mice were also evaluated, and compound 7o exhibited potent antitumor activities with the tumor inhibition rate of over 40%. The wound healing assay displayed a specific impairment in the motility of the HT-29 cells, which suggested the anti-metastatic potential of compound 7o. Moreover, compound 7o had obvious angiogenesis inhibitory effects in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. Preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis indicated that: (1) 3-phenylpropyl substituent at the N9-position of the indole ring was the most suitable group giving rise to potent cytotoxic agents; (2) the spacer length affected the antitumor potencies, and four methylene units were more favorable.

Nitrogen-containing heteroarene motifs are found in numerous pharmaceuticals, natural products, and synthetic materials. Although several elegant methods for synthesis of these compounds through dehydrogenation of the corresponding saturated heterocycles have been reported, some of the methods are hampered by long reaction times, harsh conditions, and the need for catalysts that are not readily available. This work reports a novel method for dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles. Specifically, O2.? generated in situ acts as the oxidant for N-heterocycle substrates that are susceptible to oxidation through a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism. This method provides a general, green route to N-heteroarenes.

The copper catalytic azide and terminal alkyne cycloaddition reaction, namely “click chemistry”, gives a new and convenient way to create l,4-disubstitutd-l,2,3-triazoles. In this work, 2-pyrrolecarbaldiminato–Cu(II) complexes were established as efficient catalysts for the three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of arylboronic acid and sodium azide (NaN3) with terminal alkynes in ethanol at room temperature to 50 ?C, 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized. Following the optimized protocol, two series of new aryl-1,2,3-triazole-β-carboline hybrids have been designed and synthesized, and the chemical structures were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). All of the target compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antifungal activity against Rhizoctorzia solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea Pers., sunflower sclerotinia rot, and rape sclerotinia rot by mycelia growth inhibition assay at 50 μg/mL. The antifungal evaluation of the novel hybrids showed that, among the tested compounds, 5a, 5b, 5c, and 9b showed good antifungal activity against sunflower sclerotinia rot. Specifically, compound 9b also exhibited high broad-spectrum fungicidal against all the tested fungi with inhibition rates of 58.3%, 18.52%, 63.07%, 84.47%, and 81.23%. However, for F. oxysporum, all the target compounds showed no in vitro antifungal activities with an inhibition rate lower than 20%. These results provide an encouraging framework that could lead to the development of potent novel antifungal agents.

The oxidation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines to β-carbolines using silver carbonate was developed as an alternative to current methods. The oxidation is extremely mild and provides the products in modest to good yields after purification. A number of functional groups are tolerated by this methodology, including reduction-sensitive groups which are often cleaved with other methods. Though the mechanism is not fully understood, the reaction proceeds in an open flask, is not sensitive to light or moisture, and provides a viable synthetic route to compounds that are not easily prepared via other methodologies.

- Structural development of canthin-5,6-dione moiety as a fluorescent dye and its application to novel fluorescent sensors
-
Canthin-5,6-dione is a common structure of the fluorescent natural products amarastelline A and nigakinone. Here, we synthesized various derivatives, and studied their fluorescence properties. The effects of substituent groups at the N3-, 4- and 10-positions were clarified. N3-Substitution influenced the solvent-dependent fluorescent change by modulating tautomerization between canthin-5,6-dione and the 5-hydroxy-6-one form. 10-Substitution also influenced the fluorescence, especially in aqueous solution, in combination with N3-substitution. Among the synthesized compounds, 5 showed an ‘OFF-ON-OFF’-type fluorescence change with increase of pH, and therefore served as a novel fluorescent sensor for a specific range of pH. Our findings suggest that canthin-5,6-dione should be useful as a fluorophore moiety for fluorescent labeling of biomolecules and for development of fluorescent probes and sensors.

Starting from readily available indole-2-carboxylic acids, 1-substituted β-carbolines (among them the alkaloids harmane and isoharmine) are readily obtained via the corresponding 2-acylindoles, bromination at C-3, followed by a one-pot Stille cross-coupling with tributyl[(Z)-2-ethoxyvinyl]stannane, and ring closure with ammonium acetate. 1-Substituted isoquinolines are available in an analogous manner starting from 2-bromobenzoic acid.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel alkyl diamine linked bivalent β-carbolines as angiogenesis inhibitors
-
We have synthesized and evaluated a series of novel alkyl diamine linked bivalent β-carbolines as potent angiogenesis inhibitors. The results demonstrated that most bivalent β-carbolines exhibited significant antiproliferative effects against human umbilical vein cell lines EA.HY926. Compound 4m was found to be the most potent antiproliferative agent with IC50value of 2.16?μM against EA.HY926?cell lines. Mechanism investigations revealed that compound 4m could significantly inhibit EA.HY926?cells migration and tube formation in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, compound 4m also showed obvious angiogenesis inhibitory effects in CAM assay, and the antiangiogenetic potency was more potent than the reference drug Endostar. The bivalent β-carbolines might be served as candidates for the development of vascular targeting antitumor drugs.

- PhI(OAc)2-mediated one-pot oxidative decarboxylation and aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines: Synthesis of norharmane, harmane, eudistomin U and eudistomin i
-
Iodobenzene diacetate was employed as a mild and efficient reagent for one-pot oxidative decarboxylation of tetrahydro-β-carboline acids and dehydrogenation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines to access the corresponding aromatic β-carbolines. To the best of our knowledge this is the first synthesis of β-carbolines via a one-pot oxidative decarboxylation at ambient temperature. The utility of this protocol has been demonstrated in the synthesis of β-carboline alkaloids norharmane (2o), harmane (2p), eudistomin U (9) and eudistomin I (12).

- An efficient one-pot decarboxylative aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines by using N-chlorosuccinimide: total synthesis of norharmane, harmane and eudistomins
-
A facile method for the synthesis of a variety of β-carbolines and their natural products such as norharmane (2a), harmane (2b), eudistomins I, N, T, and U (6, 7, 9 and 10, respectively) has been successfully developed via a decorboxylative aromatization tool by employing N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as a mild and efficient reagent. Gratifyingly, this reagent system proceeds in a one-pot manner and converted all the tetrahydro-β-carboline acids into their corresponding decorboxylative aromatic products with good to excellent yields. Additionally, this system works well in the case of tetrahydro-β-carboline esters to produce their aromatic partners in high yields.

- Synthesis and antiviral and fungicidal activity evaluation of β-carboline, dihydro-β-carboline, tetrahydro-β-carboline alkaloids, and their derivatives
-
Six known β-carboline, dihydro-β-carboline, and tetrahydro-β-carboline alkaloids and a series of their derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anti-tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and fungicidal activities for the first time. All of the alkaloids and some of their derivatives (compounds 3, 4, 14, and 19) exhibited higher anti-TMV activity than the commercial antiviral agent Ribavirin both in vitro and in vivo. Especially, the inactivation, curative, and protection activities of alkaloids Harmalan (62.3, 55.1, and 60.3% at 500 μg/mL) and tetrahydroharmane (64.2, 57.2, and 59.5% at 500 μg/mL) in vivo were much higher than those of Ribavirin (37.4, 36.2, and 38.5% at 500 μg/mL). A new derivative, 14, with optimized physicochemical properties, obviously exhibited higher activities in vivo (50.4, 43.9, and 47.9% at 500 μg/mL) than Ribavirin and other derivatives; therefore, 14 can be used as a new lead structure for the development of anti-TMV drugs. Moreover, most of these compounds exhibited good fungicidal activity against 14 kinds of fungi, especially compounds 4, 7, and 11.

- Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Tetrahydro-β-carbolines and β-Carbolines
-
A microwave-mediated Pictet-Spengler procedure utilizing 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was developed to provide tetrahydro-β-carboline salts in high yields. Reactions are complete in 20 minutes or less and the product precipitates from solution in high yields and purity, negating the need for liquid-liquid extraction or column chromatography. This method tolerates a wide range of functionality and can be performed on milligram to gram scales. A subsequent microwave-mediated aromatization of the synthesized tetrahydro-β-carbolines to β-carbolines was also developed utilizing catalytic Pd/C. The aromatization is complete in 60 min or less with most substrates requiring minimal purification. A microwave-assisted Pictet-Spengler procedure was developed to afford tetrahydro-β-carboline salts in high yields with no liquid-liquid extraction or chromatography required. A subsequent microwave-assisted aromatization procedure was also developed to provide β-carbolines in high yields requiring limited purification.

- Naturally-occurring tetrahydro-β-carboline alkaloids derived from tryptophan are oxidized to bioactive β-carboline alkaloids by heme peroxidases
-
β-Carbolines are indole alkaloids that occur in plants, foods, and endogenously in mammals and humans, and which exhibit potent biological, psychopharmacological and toxicological activities. They form from naturally-occurring tetrahydro-β-carboline alkaloids arising from tryptophan by still unknown way and mechanism. Results in this research show that heme peroxidases catalyzed the oxidation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines (i.e. 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid and 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid) into aromatic β-carbolines (i.e. norharman and harman, respectively). This oxidation followed a typical catalytic cycle of peroxidases through redox intermediates I, II, and ferric enzyme. Both, plant peroxidases (horseradish peroxidase, HRP) and mammalian peroxidases (myeloperoxidase, MPO and lactoperoxidase, LPO) catalyzed the oxidation in an efficient manner as determined by kinetic parameters (VMAX and KM). Oxidation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines was inhibited by peroxidase inhibitors such as sodium azide, ascorbic acid, hydroxylamine and excess of H2O 2. The formation of aromatic β-carbolines by heme peroxidases can help to explain the presence and activity of these compounds in biological systems.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of N2-alkylated quaternary β-carbolines as novel antitumor agents
-
A series of novel N2-alkylated quaternary β-carbolines was synthesized by modification of position-1, 2, 7 and 9 of β-carboline nucleus with various alkyl and arylated alkyl substituents, and their cytotoxic activities in vitro and antitumor potencies in mice were evaluated. Compound 3m was found to be the most potent antitumor agent. SARs analysis revealed that (1) the substituents in position-2 and 9 of β-carboline nucleus played a vital role in modulation of antitumor activity; (2) the benzyl and 3-phenylpropyl substituents in position-2 and 9 of β-carboline ring were the optimal substituents giving rise to significant antitumor agent. These compounds might be a novel promising class of antitumor agents with clinical development potential.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of 1,9-disubstituted β-carbolines as potent DNA intercalating and cytotoxic agents
-
A series of novel 1,9-disubstituted β-carbolines was designed, synthesized and evaluated as cytotoxic and DNA intercalating agents. Compounds 7b, 7c, 8b and 8c exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activities with IC 50 values of lower than 20 μM against ten human tumor cell lines. The results indicated that (1) the 3-chlorobenzyl and 3-phenylpropyl substituents in position-9 of β-carboline nucleus were the suitable pharmacophoric group giving rise to significant antitumor agents; (2) the length of the alkylamino side chain moiety affected their cytotoxic potencies, and three CH2 units were more favorable. In addition, these compounds were found to exhibit remarkable DNA intercalating effects.

- Efficient and practical one-pot conversions of n- tosyltetrahydroisoquinolines into isoquinolines and of N-tosyltetrahydro-β- carbolines into β-carbolines through tandem β-elimination and aromatization
-
An efficient, practical, and general method for conversions of N-tosyltetrahydroisoquinolines (N-tosyl-THIQs) into isoquinolines and of N-tosyltetrahydro-β-carbolines (N-tosyl-THBCs) into β-carbolines is described. Treatment of N-tosyl-THIQs or N-tosyl-THBCs with base in dimethyl sulfoxide afforded dihydroisoquinolines or dihydro-β-carbolines as intermediates, and these were then oxidized in situ by molecular oxygen to furnish isoquinolines or β-carbolines in good to high yields. Both one-pot conversions occurred through tandem β-elimination and aromatization. An efficient method for conversions ofN-tosyltetrahydroisoquinolines (N-tosyl-THIQs) and N-tosyltetrahydro-β-carbolines (N-tosyl-THBCs) into isoquinolines and β-carbolines is described. Treatment ofN-tosyl-THIQs or N-tosyl-THBCs with base affords dihydroisoquinolines or dihydro-β- carbolines. These can be oxidized in situ by molecular oxygen to furnish isoquinolines or β-carbolines.
