- Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of o-(Biphenyl-3-ylmethoxy)nitrophenyl Derivatives as PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors with Potent Anticancer Efficacy in Vivo
-
Two series of novel o-(biphenyl-3-ylmethoxy)nitrophenyl compounds (A1-31 and B1-17) were designed as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors. All compounds showed significant inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 2.7 to 87.4 nM except compound A17, and compound B2 displayed the best activity. Further experiments showed that B2 bound to the PD-L1 protein without obvious toxicity in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells. Furthermore, B2 significantly promoted interferon-gamma secretion in a dose-dependent manner in vitro and in vivo. Especially, B2 exhibited potent in vivo anticancer efficacy in an LLC-bearing allograft mouse model at a low dose of 5 mg/kg, which was more active than BMS-1018 (tumor growth inhibition rate: 48.5% vs 17.8%). A panel of immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry assays demonstrated that B2 effectively counteracted PD-1-induced immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment, thereby triggering antitumor immunity. These results indicate that B2 is a promising PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor worthy of further development.

- Superior activity and selectivity of heterogenized cobalt catalysts for hydrogenation of nitroarenes
-
The development of improved catalysts for highly selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes is described. For this purpose Co nanoparticles were supported on ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-3 and characterized in detail. The optimal CMK-3-CoPc catalyst exhibits excellent hydrogenation activity for several (hetero)aromatic nitro compounds and yielded the corresponding anilines under mild conditions (40 °C, 20 bar H2).

- Utilization of a Hydrogen Source from Renewable Lignocellulosic Biomass for Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes
-
Exploring of hydrogen source from renewable biomass, such as glucose in alkaline solution, for hydrogenation reactions had been studied since 1860s. According to proposed pathway, only small part of hydrogen source in glucose was utilized. Herein, the utilization of a hydrogen source from renewable lignocellulosic biomass, one of the most abundant renewable sources in nature, for a hydrogenation reaction is described. The hydrogenation is demonstrated by reduction of nitroarenes to arylamines in up to 95 % yields. Mechanism studies suggest that the hydrogenation occurs via a hydrogen transformation pathway.

- Gold(I)-Catalyzed Cascade Cyclization Reactions of Allenynes for the Synthesis of Fused Cyclopropanes and Acenaphthenes
-
A gold-catalyzed reaction of phenylene-tethered allenynes with benzofurans gave 1-(naphth-1-yl)cyclopropa[b]benzofuran derivatives, whereas the reaction of 1-allenyl-2-ethynyl-3-methylbenzene derivatives in the absence of benzofurans gave acenaphthenes in good yields. These results can be rationalized by nucleophilic attack of the alkyne moiety on an activated allene to form a vinyl cation intermediate.

- Axially Chiral Dibenzazepinones by a Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Atropo-enantioselective C?H Arylation
-
Atropo-enantioselective C?H functionalization reactions are largely limited to the dynamic kinetic resolution of biaryl substrates through the introduction of steric bulk proximal to the axis of chirality. Reported herein is a highly atropo-enantioselective palladium(0)-catalyzed methodology that forges the axis of chirality during the C?H functionalization process, enabling the synthesis of axially chiral dibenzazepinones. Computational investigations support experimentally determined racemization barriers, while also indicating C?H functionalization proceeds by an enantio-determining CMD to yield configurationally stable eight-membered palladacycles.

The molybdenumalkylidyne- based catalyst system discriminates between strained and unstrained alkynes to yield a living polymer with an unparalleled low polydispersity.

- 7′-Substituted benzothiazolothio- and pyridinothiazolothio-purines as potent heat shock protein 90 inhibitors
-
We report on the discovery of benzo- and pyridinothiazolothiopurines as potent heat shock protein 90 inhibitors. The benzothiazole moiety is exceptionally sensitive to substitutions on the aromatic ring with a 7′-substituent essential for activity. Some of these compounds exhibit low nanomolar inhibition activity in a Her-2 degradation assay (28-150 nM), good aqueous solubility, and oral bioavailability profiles in mice. In vivo efficacy experiments demonstrate that compounds of this class inhibit tumor growth in an N87 human colon cancer xenograft model via oral administration as shown with compound 37 (8-(7-chloro-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-9-(2-cyclopropylamino-ethyl) -9H-purin-6-ylamine).

- Increasing the selectivity of bromination of aromatic compounds using Br2/SiO2
-
Br2/SiO2 possessed considerable practical advantages over traditional reagents for the bromination of aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g., toluene, o-, m-, and p-xylene, anthracene and phenol. In the presence of SiO2, toluene reacted with bromine instantly. Compounds containing electron-donating substituents showed mainly bromination on the rings. The behavior of o-, m-, and p-xylene showed predominant substitution on the rings. The bromination of phenol to p-bromophenol showed good yield at 81%. Naphthalene was monobrominated to 1-bromonaphthalene with a yield of 84% in 2 has the potential to alter reaction selectivity. It may be able to switch a mechanism from radical to polar, or to influence the regioselectivity of the products formed. In the absence of SiO2, selectivity was lost and a mixture of products by substitution of bromine atom on the ring and on the side chain without any preferability was obtained. The nature of silica gel was important for the success of the reaction. Optimal results were obtained with silica gel dried at 250°C for 1 hr.
