- A Metal- and Azide-free Oxidative Coupling Reaction for the Synthesis of [1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]quinolines and their Application to Construct C?C and C-P Bonds, 2-Cyclopropylquinolines and Imidazo[1,5-a]quinolines
-
An iodine-promoted one-pot cascade oxidative annulation reaction has been developed for the synthesis of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinolines from methyl azaarenes and N-tosylhydrazines. The reaction has a broad substrate scope and can be easily scaled up to gram-scale. 1,2,3-Triazoles are an important skeletal structure for the construction of C?C and C?P bonds, 2-cyclopropylquinolines and imidazo[1,5-a]quinolines, for which different synthetic applications were explored.

-
An efficient iodine-catalyzed [3+3+1] annulation for the construction of dihydrooxepine scaffolds with quinoline units was developed. This strategy involves a seven-membered dihydrooxepine with a broad substrate scope through a formal three-component tandem reaction. Further derivation of the target product produced a trioxabicycle scaffold, which formed the basic core of natural products and pharmaceutical molecules.

- Selective Electrochemical Oxygenation of Alkylarenes to Carbonyls
-
An efficient electrochemical method for benzylic C(sp3)-H bond oxidation has been developed. A variety of methylarenes, methylheteroarenes, and benzylic (hetero)methylenes could be converted into the desired aryl aldehydes and aryl ketones in moderate to excellent yields in an undivided cell, using O2 as the oxygen source and lutidinium perchlorate as an electrolyte. On the basis of cyclic voltammetry studies, 18O labeling experiments, and radical trapping experiments, a possible single-electron transfer mechanism has been proposed for the electrooxidation reaction.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel thiohydantoin derivatives as potent androgen receptor antagonists for the treatment of prostate cancer
-
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common malignancy in men worldwide. Here, two series of novel thiohydantoin derivatives of enzalutamide as potent androgen receptor (AR) antagonists were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound 31c was identified as an AR antagonist which is 2.3–fold more potent than enzalutamide. Molecular docking studies were performed to explain the improved potency of 31c at AR. In cell proliferation assays, 31c exhibited similar anti-proliferative activities with enzalutamide against hormone sensitive LNCaP cells and AR-overexpressing LNCaP/AR cells. These data indicate that 31c can be a good lead compound for further structure optimization for the treatment of prostate cancer.

The protocol employs mild conditions and offers good yields of diverse 2,5-aryloxazole derivatives with a broad reaction scope. It is amenable to gram-scale synthesis and easily transformation. Moreover, this 5-aryl-2-(quinolin-2-yl)oxazole skeleton is indeed a new fluorophore and its applications in metal ions probes are also investigated and showed fluorescent responses to mercury ion.

-
An efficient iodine-imine synergistic promoted Povarov-type multicomponent reaction was reported for the synthesis of a practical 2,2′-biquinoline scaffold. The tandem annulation has reconciled iodination, Kornblum oxidation, and Povarov aromatization, where the methyl group of the methyl azaarenes represents uniquely reactive input in the Povarov reaction. This method has broad substrate scope and mild conditions. Furthermore, these 2,2′-biquinoline derivatives had been directly used as bidentate ligands in metal-catalyzed reactions.

The iodine-promoted oxidative domino annulation and carbonylation process has been developed for the synthesis of biologically important azaarene-substituted bis-pyrazolo[3,4-b:4′,3′-e]pyridines (BPPs), diuracilpyridines and o-amino diheteroaryl ketones. The domino procedure proceeded with easily available methyl azaarenes, 5-aminouracils and substituted 5-aminopyrazoles. This protocol is a simple and metal-free approach which exhibits high functional group compatibility and broad substrates scope. Moreover, this transformation can be applied for the preparation of dipyrazolo/diuracil-fused pyridines on a gram scale. (Figure presented.).

A radical mediated C-H direct formylation of N-heteroarenes with methanol is reported. The reaction features a novel iron-catalyzed Minisci oxidative coupling process using commercially available methanol as a formylating reagent. It effectively solved the long-standing problems associated with using methanol as a formylating reagent in these types of reactions. Compared to the traditional Minisci C-H formylation methods, this protocol is highly atom-economical, simple to operate, and environmentally friendly and shows good functional group tolerance.

- Potent Inhibition of Nicotinamide N-Methyltransferase by Alkene-Linked Bisubstrate Mimics Bearing Electron Deficient Aromatics
-
Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) methylates nicotinamide (vitamin B3) to generate 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA). NNMT overexpression has been linked to a variety of diseases, most prominently human cancers, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target. The development of small-molecule NNMT inhibitors has gained interest in recent years, with the most potent inhibitors sharing structural features based on elements of the nicotinamide substrate and the S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) cofactor. We here report the development of new bisubstrate inhibitors that include electron-deficient aromatic groups to mimic the nicotinamide moiety. In addition, a trans-alkene linker was found to be optimal for connecting the substrate and cofactor mimics in these inhibitors. The most potent NNMT inhibitor identified exhibits an IC50 value of 3.7 nM, placing it among the most active NNMT inhibitors reported to date. Complementary analytical techniques, modeling studies, and cell-based assays provide insights into the binding mode, affinity, and selectivity of these inhibitors.

Visualization of the structure of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in living cells is important for the understanding of its function. Here we synthesized a library of 8 BODIPY labeledhydroxyquinoline derivatives and evaluated their spectroscopic properties, cytotoxicity, and intracellular localization. The compounds were easily obtained in 34–80% yield. Based on the spectral properties and low cytotoxicity, we selected the quinolin-8-yl pentanoate derivative 17 for in vivo labeling of the ER. Fluorescence staining of the ER was evaluated by comparison with a commercial ER tracker. The molecules here developed are smaller than the alternatives commercially available while still presenting a high specificity towards the ER.

- Biocatalytic reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to allylic alcohols
-
We have developed robust in vivo and in vitro biocatalytic systems that enable reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to allylic alcohols and their saturated analogues. These compounds are prevalent scaffolds in many industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals. A substrate profiling study of a carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) investigating unexplored substrate space, such as benzo-fused (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, revealed broad substrate tolerance and provided information on the reactivity patterns of these substrates. E. coli cells expressing a heterologous CAR were employed as a multi-step hydrogenation catalyst to convert a variety of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to the corresponding saturated primary alcohols, affording up to >99percent conversion. This was supported by the broad substrate scope of E. coli endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), as well as the unexpected CC bond reducing activity of E. coli cells. In addition, a broad range of benzofused (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids were converted to the corresponding primary alcohols by the recombinant E. coli cells. An alternative one-pot in vitro two-enzyme system, consisting of CAR and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), demonstrates promiscuous carbonyl reductase activity of GDH towards a wide range of unsaturated aldehydes. Hence, coupling CAR with a GDH-driven NADP(H) recycling system provides access to a variety of (hetero)aromatic primary alcohols and allylic alcohols from the parent carboxylates, in up to >99percent conversion. To demonstrate the applicability of these systems in preparative synthesis, we performed 100 mg scale biotransformations for the preparation of indole-3-aldehyde and 3-(naphthalen-1-yl)propan-1-ol using the whole-cell system, and cinnamyl alcohol using the in vitro system, affording up to 85percent isolated yield.

- Consecutive Intermolecular Reductive Amination/Asymmetric Hydrogenation: Facile Access to Sterically Tunable Chiral Vicinal Diamines and N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
-
A highly enantioselective iridium- or ruthenium-catalyzed intermolecular reductive amination/asymmetric hydrogenation relay with 2-quinoline aldehydes and aromatic amines has been developed. A broad range of sterically tunable chiral N,N′-diaryl vicinal diamines were obtained in high yields (up to 95 %) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99 % ee). The resulting chiral diamines could be readily transformed into sterically hindered chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors, which are otherwise difficult to access. The usefulness of this synthetic approach was further demonstrated by the successful application of one of the chiral vicinal diamines and chiral NHC ligands in a transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and asymmetric ring-opening cross-metathesis, respectively.

- Antiaging activity, molecular docking, and prediction of percutaneous absorption parameters of quinoline–hydrazone hybrids
-
The application of antiaging agents can contribute to the prevention and control of skin photoaging. In the current research, nine quinoline–hydrazone hybrids were synthesized to obtain biologically active compounds as possible antiaging agents. The compounds were tested through a comprehensive in vitro evaluation of antielastase, anticollagenase, and antihyaluronidase activities along with the determination of their potential to quench reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the ORAC method. The selected hybrids were subsequently tested on human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) to reveal possible UVB photoprotective activity. The most potent antiaging protection of all the prepared compounds was shown by the trihydroxylated quinoline–hydrazones 5 and 9, which showed the best collagenase inhibition (IC50 = 39.4 and 45.6 μM, respectively). Compound 5 also showed activity against elastase and hyaluronidase (IC50 = 164.2 and 318.8 μM, respectively). The molecular docking results suggest that the difference of inhibition between 5 and 9 is principally attributed to the hydrogen bonds interactions in the residues His218 and His228, and Zn atom in collagenase, Val216 in elastase and Tyr75 in hyaluronidase. In addition, compounds 5 and 9 were able to significantly protect human skin cells from UVB radiation in vitro. These compounds significantly decreased UVB-induced MMP-1 and ROS production and inhibited the suppression of type I procollagen synthesis in cultured HDF. The in silico dermatopharmacokinetic parameters showed promising results. Therefore, our study presented promising results for antiaging drug discovery, focusing on quinoline–hydrazone hybrids as dual inhibitors of skin aging-related enzymes, antioxidants, and inhibitors of the biological effects of UVB irradiation.

- Discovery of fused heterocyclic carboxamide derivatives as novel α7-nAChR agonists: Synthesis, preliminary SAR and biological evaluation
-
The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for schizophrenia. In our previous work, a novel series of α7-nAChR agonists bearing scaffold of indolizine were discovered. To explore the effect of aromaticity on the activity and find more active agents, herein, fused heterocyclic carboxamide derivatives were designed and synthesized in this study. Based on the evaluation by two-electrode voltage clamp in Xenopus oocytes, 27 of the synthesized compounds showed obvious agonism of α7 nAChR. Particularly, compounds 10a and 10e showed significantly higher Emax than EVP-6124. The result illustrated the importance of aromaticity to the activity of agonism. Compound 10a, which showed EC50 of 1.88 μM and Emax of 72.4%, was further characterized comprehensively, including co-application with type II positive allosteric modulator PNU-120596, selectivity with other closely related ligand-gated ion channel, etc. The results showed that 10a showed moderate selectivity over other subtypes such as α4β2 and α3β4 nAChR. 10a evoked α7-like currents that were inhibited by MLA and enhanced in the presence of the α7 PAM PNU-120596. The analysis of binding mode and understanding of structure-activity relationship provided insights to develop more potent novel α7-nAChR agonists.

- A Simple, Mild and General Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes or Ketones by SO2F2/K2CO3 Using DMSO as Solvent and Oxidant
-
A practical, general and mild oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds proceeds in yields of up to 99% using SO2F2 as electrophile in DMSO as both the oxidant and the solvent at ambient temperature. No moisture- and oxygen-free conditions are required. Stoichiometric amount of inexpensive K2CO3, which generates easy to separate by-products, is used as the base. Thus, 5-gram scale runs proceeded in nearly quantitative yields by a simple filtration as the work-up. The use of a polar solvent such as DMSO, which usually promotes competing Pummerer rearrangement, is also noteworthy. This protocol is compatible with a variety of common N-, O-, and S-functional groups on (hetero)arene, alkene and alkyne substrates (68 examples). The protocol was applied (99% yield) to a formal synthesis of the important cholesterol-lowering drug Rosuvastatin. (Figure presented.).

Iodine-promoted oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling of unprotected anilines and 2-methylquinoline to furnish C4-carbonylated aniline (4-aminophenyl)(quinoline-2-yl) methanones in moderate to good yields has been demonstrated. This work provides the first site-selective approach for the synthesis of free amino groups containing methanones including unprecedented C-H functionalization rather than the N-H functionalization of unprotected anilines via the Kornblum oxidation of 2-methylquinoline. Furthermore, we noticed that the incorporation of KOH under standard conditions provides 2-heteroarylbenzothiazoles from benzothiazoles and 2-methylquinoline in good to excellent yields. These transformations do not require any transition metals or peroxides and tolerate various functional groups such as methoxy, hydroxy, bromo, chloro and nitro groups. Moreover, a plausible mechanistic pathway is proposed.

Unexpectedly, calcium complexes ((L3–5)CaN(SiMe3)2) bearing more sterically encumbered ligands of the same type were extremely unstable and underwent C?N bond cleavage processes as a consequence of intramolecular C?H bond activation, leading to the exclusive formation of (E)-1,2-bis(8-isopropylquinol-2-yl)ethane.

- Iodine-catalyzed Csp3-H functionalization of methylhetarenes: One-pot synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of heteroarenyl-benzimidazoles and benzothiazole
-
An efficient one-pot synthetic procedure has been developed for the preparation of heteroarenyl-benzimidazoles via oxidative Csp3-H functionalization with o-phenylenediamine using I2-DMSO in open air from easily available starting materials. Based on a logical plan a spectrum of multi fundamental reactions like iodination, Kornblum oxidation and amination were brought into one-pot. By using this simple method a library of heteroarenyl-benzimidazoles derivatives (3a–t and 5a–g) and heteroarenyl-benzothiazole (3u) have been synthesized in good to excellent yield and screened for their cytotoxicity against a group of four human cancer cell lines. Among them 3h, 3q and 5b showed significant cytotoxic activities with an IC50 of 1.69, 1.62 and 2.81 μM respectively against lung cancer (A549) cell line.[Figure presented]

- A concise and efficient synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline alkaloids using the phase transfer mediated Wittig olefination reaction
-
The present study describes the total synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline alkaloids (±)-galipinine, (±)-cuspareine, (±)-galipeine and (±)-angustureine, in three steps and high yields (78%, 76%, 74%, and 66%, respectively) from common aldehyde and the ylide respectives. The key step of this approach is based on an unusual Wittig reaction by using the phase transfer medium (aq. NaOH/CH2Cl2 1:1 or t-BuOK/t-BuOH/CH2Cl2 1:1), affording olefinic intermediates in high yields.

A new aerobic copper-catalyzed halocyclization reaction of methyl N-heteroaromatics and aliphatic amines has been developed, which enables straightforward access to functionalized imidazo-fused N-heterocycles with the merits of good functional tolerance, use of easily available copper salts as the catalysts, lithium halides as the halogen sources, and O2 as a sole oxidant. Due to the reaction features' selective introduction of halogen functionalities to the newly formed imidazo ring, further extensions of the developed chemistry toward synthetic diversity, including effective access to functional materials, are easily envisioned.

- Synthesis, leishmanicidal, trypanocidal and cytotoxic activity of quinoline-hydrazone hybrids
-
Abstract Cutaneous leishmaniasis and Chagas disease are vector-borne parasitic disease causing serious risks to million people living in poverty-stricken areas. Both diseases are a major health problem in Latin America, and currently drugs for the effective treatment of these diseases have important concerns related with efficacy or toxicity than need to be addressed.We report herein the synthesis and biological activities (cytotoxicity, leishmanicidal and trypanocidal activities) of ten quinolone-hydrazone hybrids. The structure of the products was elucidated by spectrometric analyses. The synthesized compounds were evaluated against amastigotes forms of L. (V) panamensis which is the most prevalent Leishmania species in Colombia and Trypanosoma cruzi that is the major pathogenic species to humans; in turn, cytotoxicity was evaluated against human U-937 macrophages.Compounds 6b, 6c and 8 showed activity against L. (V) panamensis with EC50 of 6.5 ± 0.8 μg/mL (21.2 μM), 0.8 ± 0.0 μg/mL (2.6 μM) and 3.4 ± 0.6 μg/mL (11.1 μM), respectively, while compounds 6a and 6c had activity against T. cruzi. with EC50 values of 1.4 ± 0.3 μg/mL (4.8 μM) and 6.6 ± 0.3 μg/mL (4.6 μM), respectively. Even compound 6a showed better activity against T. cruzi than the standard drug benznidazole with EC50 Combining double low line 10.5 ± 1.8 μg/mL (40.3 μM).Analysis of the results obtained against leishmaniasis indicates that antiparasite activity is related to the presence of 2-substituted quinoline (isoquinolinic core) and the hydroxyl group in positions 3 and 4 of the aromatic ring. Although the majority of these compounds were highly cytotoxic, the antiparasite activity was higher than cytotoxicity and therefore, they still have potential to be considered as hit molecules for leishmanicidal and trypanocidal drug development.

- Acid-Activatable Michael-Type Fluorescent Probes for Thiols and for Labeling Lysosomes in Live Cells
-
A Michael addition is usually taken as a base-catalyzed reaction. Most fluorescent probes have been designed to detect thiols in slightly alkaline solutions (pH 7-9). The sensing reactions of almost all Michael-type fluorescent probes for thiols are faster in a high pH solution than in a low pH solution. In this work, we synthesized a series of 7-substituted 2-(quinolin-2-ylmethylene)malonic acids (QMAs, substituents: NEt2, OH, H, Cl, or NO2) and their ethyl esters (QMEs) as Michael-type fluorescent probes for thiols. The sensing reactions of QMAs and QMEs occur in distinct pH ranges, pH 7 for QMEs. On the basis of experimental and theoretic studies, we have clarified the distinct pH effects on the sensing reactivity between QMAs and QMEs and demonstrated that two QMAs (NEt2, OH) are highly sensitive and selective fluorescent probes for thiols in acidic solutions (pH 7) and promising dyes that can label lysosomes in live cells.

- Design, synthesis and preliminary bioactivity evaluations of substituted quinoline hydroxamic acid derivatives as novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors
-
Inhibition of HDACs activity has become a promising therapeutic strategy in clinical practice to reverse the abnormal epigenetic states of cancer and other diseases. Therefore, HDAC inhibitors become a relatively new class of anti-cancer agent. In the present study, we reported the design and synthesis of a series of novel HDAC inhibitors using various substituted quinoline rings as the cap group. In vitro studies showed that some compounds have good inhibitory activities against HDACs and potent antiproliferative activities in some tumor cell lines. Especially, compound 9w (IC50 = 85 nM), exhibited better inhibitory effect compared with SAHA (IC50 = 161 nM).

- Strategically Modified Rhodamine-Quinoline Conjugate as a CHEF-Assisted FRET Probe for Au3+: DFT and Living Cell Imaging Studies
-
A systematic journey from O-donor through S-donor to N-donor chelator led to the development of a highly selective Au3+ chemosensor that operates via a CHEF-induced FRET mechanism. This sensing protocol avoids unwanted possible side reactions observed in alkyne-based gold sensors. DFT studies strongly support the experimental facts. The probe RT-2 detects Au3+ in the presence of the masking agent KI to minimize Hg2+ interference; however, RQ-2 selectively detects Au3+ without any interference and shows reversibility in the sensing in the presence of tetrabutylammonium cyanide. The probe efficiently images Au3+ in living HeLa cells under a fluorescence microscope.

- Multiple dynamics of hydrazone based compounds
-
Hydrazone derivatives of 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde and 6-bromo-2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde were synthesized by sequence reactions with hydrazine derivatives. These compounds exhibited E/Z isomerization upon irradiation using a mercury lamp (250 W). The configurational changes were monitored by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Data of concentration of the E/Z isomers versus time showed first order kinetics with constants ranging from 0.024 to 0.0799 min-1. The Z isomers were isolated by chromatographic methods and characterized by 1H NMR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The Z compounds are stable even in solution for several months. Such stability is due to a thermodynamic stabilization by the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond in the Z structure, which is not seen in the E configuration. Furthermore, some of the compounds were used as ligands for various metal centers (Zn2+, Co2+ and Hg2+) and their electronic properties were studied including measurements of cyclic voltammetry. The compounds studied herein allow their use as dynamic systems in dynamic combinatorial chemistry as their properties can be modulated by light, heat and the presence of metal centers. Besides, obtaining a metastable state (Z-isomer) allows the use of these compounds as photo-brakes, and therefore they can be implemented as molecular machines.

- Iron-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization for the exclusive synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]indoles or triarylmethanols
-
The efficient and selective iron-catalyzed C-H activation of 2-benzhydrylpyridine derivatives was employed for the preparation of pyrido[1,2-a]indoles through an intramolecular C-H amination reaction. In the presence of molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant, the same 2-benzhydrylpyridines were also used for the synthesis of the corresponding tertiary alcohols. In these approaches, the iron catalyst was used to selectively activate the C(sp2)-H bond of 2-benzhydrylpyridine, in the case of the intramolecular ring-closing C-H amination reaction in which the pyridine nitrogen atom was a directing group as well as a nucleophile, and the C(sp3)-H bond of the same compound, in the case of the oxidation reaction to give the corresponding triaryl carbinol.
