- Efficient microwave-assisted regioselective one pot direct: Ortho -formylation of phenol derivatives in the presence of nanocrystalline MgO as a solid base catalyst under solvent-free conditions
-
In this research, at first nanocrystalline MgO was prepared and then the solvent-free reactions of phenol derivatives with paraformaldehyde in the presence of the obtained nanocrystalline MgO as a new catalyst under microwave irradiation were investigated. In this reaction, ortho-hydroxyaromatic aldehydes were yielded as products. This method seems to be comparable with other reported methods due to its high yield and regioselectivity. The significant features of this method are short reaction times, high yields, and easy and quick isolation of the products.

- In Vitro Antitumor Activity of Newly Synthesized Pyridazin-3(2H)-One Derivatives via Apoptosis Induction
-
Systemic toxicity associated with drug resistance continues to be the major obstacle to curative therapy of cancer. Tumor cell resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs often results in coordinate resistance to other structurally and functionally unrelated drugs and the subsequent development of cross resistance phenotype. Therefore, it seems necessary to identify new molecules as anticancer agents. In this process, we synthesized a series of new pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives and evaluated their antitumor potential. These cyclic molecules were synthesized and designed as a combination of benzofuran with pyridazinones. All final compounds have been characterized by spectral and elemental analyses to confirm successful synthesis reactions. To evaluate their anticancer activity, all derivatives were assessed against the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) and the murine mastocytoma cell line (P815) using the methyl tetrazolium Test (MTT assay). The cytotoxic activity was found to be dose-dependent and the IC50 values of the synthesized compounds ranged from 14.5 to 40 μM against MCF-7 and from 35 to 82.5 μM against P815. At the same time, no cytotoxic activity was observed against normal cells. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of the most cytotoxic product (6f), apoptosis induction was measured against MCF-7 cells. Using the annexin-V FITC staining technique, we showed that the cytotoxic effect of this product is associated with apoptosis induction.

- Synthesis, anti-inflammatory evaluation in vivo and docking studies of some new 5-(benzo[b]furan-2-ylmethyl)-6-methyl-pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives
-
Seven novel 5-(benzo[b]furan-2-ylmethyl)-6-methyl-pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives (6a to 6g) have been synthesized by the condensation of appropriate 3-(benzofuran-2-ylmethylene)-4-oxopentanoic acid and hydrazine hydrate in ethanol. Structures of all compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. These compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. In silico molecular docking study has been executed to study the binding interactions of the synthesized compounds with COX-2 protein. Compounds 6a, 6b, 6e and 6g showed a good anti-inflammatory activity at 50 mg/kg compared with the indometacin at 10 mg/kg and the aspirin at 150 mg/kg and good binding affinity with COX-2.

- Efficient synthesis of chiral benzofuryl β-amino alcohols via a catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction
-
Chiral β-amino alcohol ligands were found effective for the copper(ii)-catalyzed asymmetric Henry reaction of benzofuran-2-carbaldehydes with nitromethane, which led to the formation of (S)-enriched benzofuryl β-nitro alcohols with satisfactory enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). Using this catalytic protocol, bioactive (S)-benzofuryl β-amino alcohols could be conveniently prepared in short steps.

- Synthesis and antidepressant activity of 5-(benzo[b]furan-2-ylmethyl)-6-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives
-
A new series of pyridazin-3-one derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their preclinical antidepressant effect on Swiss mice. Among the series, compounds 6c, 6d and 6f exhibited significant activity profile in forced swimming test. Compounds 6c and 6d were most efficacious, which at dose of 50 mg kg-1 reduced the time of immobility by 42.85 and 38.09 %, respectively, as compared to the standard drug fluoxetine which reduced the immobility time by 45.23 % at the dose of 32 mg kg-1. All the test and standard compounds were administered orally 60 min before the test. Interestingly, all active compounds did not cause any significant alteration of locomotor activity in mice as compared to control, indicating that the hybrids did not produce any motor impairment effects. The results indicate that pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives may have potential therapeutic value for the management of mental depression.

- Facile one-pot transformation of phenols into o-cyanophenols
-
The treatment of phenols with paraformaldehyde in the presence of MgCl2 and Et3N in THF at 80 C, followed by reaction with molecular iodine and aq. ammonia at room temperature provided the corresponding o-cyanophenols in moderate to good yields. The present reaction is a one-pot transformation of phenols into o-cyanophenols using much less expensive reagents than are typically used; the reaction is free of both transition-metals and cyanide. The utility of this reaction was highlighted during our preparation of Febuxostat from p-bromophenol.

- Potent nematicidal activity of phthalaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, and cinnamic aldehyde against Meloidogyne incognita
-
The nematicidal activity of selected aromatic aldehydes was tested against the root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. The most active aldehyde was phthalaldehyde (1) with an EC50 value of 11 ± 6 mg/L followed by salicylaldehyde (2) and cinnamic aldehyde (3) with EC50 values of 11 ± 1 and 12 ± 5 mg/L, respectively. On the other hand, structurally related aldehydes such as 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (21), 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, and vanillin (23) were not active at the concentration of 1000 mg/L. By liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry the reactivity of tested aldehydes against a synthetic peptide resembling the nematode cuticle was characterized. At the test concentration of 1 mM, the main adduct formation was observed for 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (22), 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (21), and 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. Considering that 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (21) and 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde were not active against M. incognita in in vitro experiments led us to hypothesize a different mechanism of action rather than an effect on the external cuticle modification of nematodes. When the toxicity of the V-ATPase inhibitor pyocyanin (10) was tested against M. incognita J2 nematodes, an EC50 at 24 h of 72 ± 25 mg/L was found. The redox-active compounds such as phthalaldehyde (1) and salicylaldehyde (2) may share a common mode of action inhibiting nematode V-ATPase enzyme. The results of this investigation reveal that aromatic redox-active aldehydes can be considered as potent nematicides, and further investigation is needed to completely clarify their mode of action.

- The synthesis of 2-hydroxymethyl derivatives of phenols
-
2-Hydroxymethylphenols have been prepared in good yield by reduction with sodium borohydride of the precursor aldehydes, obtained regiospecifically from reaction of phenols with paraformaldehyde in toluene containing stannic chloride and tri-n-butylamine. By contrast, reaction of phenols with either paraformaldehyde under anhydrous conditions or with aqueous formaldehyde results in formation of both the hydroxymethyl and the bishydroxymethyl derivatives. Cyclic acetals of the precursor aldehydes are readily accessible.

- Structure-activity relationship studies of ethyl 2-amino-6-bromo-4-(1- cyano-2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-4H-chromene-3-carboxylate (HA 14-1), an antagonist for antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins to overcome drug resistance in cancer
-
The structure-activity relationship studies of ethyl 2-amino-6-cyclopentyl- 4-(1-cyano-2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-4H-chromene-3-carboxylate (1, HA 14-1), an antagonist of the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, are reported. A series of analogues of 1 with varied functional groups at the 6-position of the chromene ring were synthesized. These candidates were evaluated for their binding interactions with three antiapoptotic proteins: Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and Bcl-w. They were also assayed for their in vitro cytotoxicities against a set of Jurkat cells with varied levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL proteins and a non-small-cell lung carcinoma cell line (NCI-H460). It was found that the 6-bromo of 1 was not essential for its bioactivity and the 6-position can accommodate a variety of alkyl groups. 1 and its analogues bind to all of the three antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins tested. Positive correlations were observed between the binding affinities of these candidates to the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins and their in vitro cytotoxicities, suggesting that the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins are likely to be the cellular targets of 1 and its analogues. (In this study, the binding interactions of the small molecules to antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins were studied by assaying their abilities to compete against a Bak peptide binding to the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins. Inhibitory constants, instead of dissociation constants, were obtained in such assays. The term "binding affinity" is used in this article for simplicity.) The most active compound, 3g, had a > 3-fold increase of binding affinity to the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins and a > 13-fold increase of in vitro cytotoxicity over 1. Though Jurkat cells with transgenic overexpression of Bcl-2 or Bcl-XL protein can develop resistance to standard cancer therapies, such cells failed to develop resistance to 1 based candidates. 1 also sensitizes Jurkat cells to cisplatin. These studies provide further support that 1 and its analogues function as antagonists for antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins and that they have the potential, either as a single agent or as a combination therapy with other anticancer agents, to treat cancers with the overexpression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins.

- Ligand tuning in the chromium-salen-mediated asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes
-
A series of Cr(salen) complexes have been synthesised from 5-substituted-3-bromosalicylaldehydes and trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine. These have been used to probe the Cr(salen)-mediated asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes. No simple correlation was found between the electronic character of the salen-substituents and the enantioselectivity - multiple oxidation pathways are proposed as a possible explanation. Enantioselectivities of up to 90% have been achieved using a novel, synthetically accessible Cr(salen) complex.

- 3-Benzo[b]furyl- and 3-benzo[b]thienylaminobutyric acids as GABA(B) ligands. Synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies
-
Baclofen (β-p-chlorophenyl GABA) is one of the selective agonists for the bicuculline-insensitive GABA(B) receptors. In the search for new compounds that bind to GABA(B) receptors it is very important to clarify the structural requirements. We report the syntheses of and binding studies on various 3- heteroaromatic (benzo[b]furan and benzo[b]thiophen)aminobutyric acids. The 4- amino-3-(7-methyl-benzo[b]furan-2-yl)butanoic acid 8g is a potent and specific ligand for GABA(B) receptors, with an IC50 value of 5.4 μM in the displacement of [3H]GABA.
