- Isolation, Structure Elucidation, Semi-Synthesis, and Structural Modification of C19-Diterpenoid Alkaloids fromAconitum apetalumand Their Neuroprotective Activities
-
Five new aconitine-type C19-diterpenoid alkaloids, apetalrines A-E (1-5), were isolated fromAconitum apetalum. Their structures were determined by analysis of 1D and 2D NMR, IR, and HRESIMS data. Semisynthesis of apetalrine B (2) from its parent compound aconorine was achieved to confirm the structure proposed. Twenty derivatives of2(11a-11l12a12b12d12e12j12k12m12n) were synthesized via a unified approach relying on simple coupling reactions. The evaluation of neuroprotective effects of compounds (1-511b11c11f-11i12a12b12d12e12k12m12n) with low cytotoxicity revealed compound2to exhibit good neuroprotective effects in H2O2-treated SH-SY5Y cells at a concentration of 50 μM. A series of studies using flow cytometry, staining, and Western blotting on2indicated that its neuroprotective effects may arise from inhibiting cell apoptosis.

- Synthesis, biological evaluation, and structure-activity relationships of 2-[2-(benzoylamino)benzoylamino]benzoic acid analogues as inhibitors of adenovirus replication
-
2-[2-Benzoylamino)benzoylamino]benzoic acid (1) was previously identified as a potent and nontoxic antiadenoviral compound (Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2010, 54, 3871). Here, the potency of 1 was improved over three generations of compounds. We found that the ortho, ortho substituent pattern and the presence of the carboxylic acid of 1 are favorable for this class of compounds and that the direction of the amide bonds (as in 1) is obligatory. Some variability in the N-terminal moiety was tolerated, but benzamides appear to be preferred. The substituents on the middle and C-terminal rings were varied, resulting in two potent inhibitors, 35g and 35j, with EC50 = 0.6 μM and low cell toxicity.

- An efficient, convenient synthesis of novel medium-sized 13H-dibenzo[d,h][1,3,7]oxadiazecine-8,14-dione macrolides as anticipated antineoplastic agents
-
A series of novel medium-sized 13H-dibenzo[d,h][1,3,7]oxadiazecine-8,14-dione macrolides (18-27, 30, 32) were synthesized in an ongoing effort to develop new antineoplastic agents. The synthon 2-(2-aminobenzoylamino)-benzoic acid (7), for preparation of the target compounds, was prepared via the reaction of isatoic anhydride 5 and anthranilic acid 6. Nine compounds (18-20, 24-27, 30, 32) were subjected to National Cancer Institute (NCI) in vitro disease-oriented human cells screening panel assay. Among the compounds tested, 6-benzyl-13H-dibenzo[d,h][1,3,7]oxadiazecine-8,14-dione (26, NSC 721327), bearing the benzyl group at position 6, showed cytotoxic activity and subpanel selectivity against leukemia (CCRF-CEM), colon (HCC-2998), CNS (SNB-75) and melanoma (UACC-257) panels at log10 GI50 (M), compound concentration that inhibits 50% of cell growth, ranging from -4.08 to -4.59.

- Acylanthranils. 12. Reaction of Acetylanthranil with Alcohols To Give Products of Self-Condensation
-
Material-balance studies on the reaction of acetylanthranil (I) in acidified alcohol showed that the end produt is neither the expected N-(2-carboxyphenyl)acetimidate, 3, nor the o-acetamidobenzoate ester, 4, but rather mixtures of N-(2-carboxyphenyl)-2-methylquinazol-4-one (5), o-(o-acetamidobenzamido)benzoic acid (6), CH3CO2R, and R2O, where R is the alkyl group of the alcohol.The stoichiometry in anhydrous media is consistent with the following equation: 2I + (1+2x)ROH -> (1-x)5 + x6 + CH3CO2R + xROR.Time studies of this self-condensation, monitored by proton NMR, showed that the acetimidate 3 is indeed formed as expected, but it establishes equilibrium with 1 within minutes.The acetimidate, however, reacts slowly with solvent and residual 1 to give products 5 and 6, respectively, with concomitant formation of CH3CO2R and ROR as side products.The instantaneous selectivity ratio (1-x)/x increases monotonically with percent conversion to acids 5 and 6.The disappearance of 1 in alcohol solution is pseudo first order.Initially, the rate-controlling step is the slow conversion of 3 to secondary intermediates Y and Z, but ultimately it is the subsequent very slow conversion of Y an Z to end products.
