- Structure-based design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular docking of novel 10-methoxy dibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridinecarboxamides
-
10-methoxy dibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridine carboxylic acid was successfully synthesized from 3-methoxyaniline by a new route. By utilizing a structure-based epharmacophore developed from the active site of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1, a series of nine novel 10-methoxy dibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridinecarboxamides was synthesized and characterized by different spectral techniques. Three of them are found to be active by screening against A549 cell line and showed significant anticancer activity when compared to a marketed lung cancer drug, pemetrexed. The molecular docking and in silico pharmacokinetic predictions provide detailed understanding for utilizing the dibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridine scaffold in future drug discovery and development of PDK1 inhibitors.

- Regioselective demethylation of quinoline derivatives. A DFT rationalization
-
Demethylation of compound 2,7-dimethoxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde 1, is carried out using BBr3. However, all attempts led, either to the starting material or to the regioselective demethylation at position 2 affording the product 4a. The nature (donor or acceptor) and the position of the R (CHO or CN) group is likely to play a role in the preventing the demethylation at position 7. To address this phenomena, the demethylation of 2-chloro-7-methoxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde 2 and 2,7-dimethoxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde 3 has been carried out. To support the results obtained, theoretical computations at DFT level (vide infra) have been carried out upon compound 1. The exploration of how the gas-phase demethylation process on Quinoline can be affected at a position 7 center by stepwise substation effects using different electro-donor and attractor groups, show that demethylation process seems to be more favorable when substituent is an electro-donor. This is sustained by bond energy and thermodynamic analyses (vide infra).

- Spectroscopic investigations on DNA binding profile of two new naphthyridine carboxamides and their application as turn-on fluorescent DNA staining probes
-
Two new 10-methoxydibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridine-2-carboxamide derivatives (R1 and R2) have been synthesized and characterized using different spectral techniques. The binding of these probes with DNA was investigated using spectral (Electronic, fluorescence, 1H NMR and circular dichroism) and molecular docking studies. These probes exhibited a strong fluorescence around 440 nm upon excitation around 380 nm. Electronic and competitive fluorescence titration studies, in HEPES [(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid)] buffer/dimethyl sulfoxide (pH 7.4) medium, suggest that these probes bind strongly to DNA, which is substantiated by 1H NMR study. The binding constants are calculated to be 5.3 × 107 and 6.8 × 106 M?1 for R1 and R2, respectively. From the results of spectral studies, it is proposed that the mechanism of binding of these probes with DNA is through minor groove binding mode, which is further confirmed by circular dichroism and molecular docking studies. Initial cell viability screening using MTT (3-[4,5-methylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) assay shows that normal Vero cells are viable towards these probes at nano molar concentration, which is the concentration range employed in the present study for DNA staining (IC50 in the order of 0.023 mM). The enhancement in fluorescence intensity of these probes upon binding with DNA enables the staining of DNA in agarose gel in gel electrophoresis experiment. The sensitivity of these probes is comparable with that of ethidium bromide and DNA amounts as low as 4 nano gram are detectable. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

- Discovery of novel quinoline-based analogues of combretastatin A-4 as tubulin polymerisation inhibitors with apoptosis inducing activity and potent anticancer effect
-
A new series of quinoline derivatives of combretastatin A-4 have been designed, synthesised and demonstrated as tubulin polymerisation inhibitors. These novel compounds showed significant antiproliferative activities, among them, 12c exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against different cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HL-60, HCT-116 and HeLa) with IC50 ranging from 0.010 to 0.042 μM, and with selectivity profile against MCF-10A non-cancer cells. Further mechanistic studies suggest that 12c can inhibit tubulin polymerisation and cell migration, leading to G2/M phase arrest. Besides, 12c induces apoptosis via a mitochondrial-dependant apoptosis pathway and caused reactive oxygen stress generation in MCF-7 cells. These results provide guidance for further rational development of potent tubulin polymerisation inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.Highlights A novel series of quinoline derivatives of combretastatin A-4 have been designed and synthesised. Compound 12c showed significant antiproliferative activities against different cancer cell lines. Compound 12c effectively inhibited tubulin polymerisation and competed with [3H] colchicine in binding to tubulin. Compound 12c arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase, effectively inducing apoptosis and inhibition of cell migration.

- Novel 1,2,4-triazine-quinoline hybrids: The privileged scaffolds as potent multi-target inhibitors of LPS-induced inflammatory response via dual COX-2 and 15-LOX inhibition
-
Based on the observed pharmacophoric structural features for the reported dual COX/15-LOX inhibitors and inspired by the abundance of COX/LOX inhibitory activities reported for the 1,2,4-triazine and quinoline scaffolds, we designed and synthesized novel 1,2,4-triazine-quinoline hybrids (8a-n). The synthesized hybrids were evaluated in vitro as dual COXs/15-LOX inhibitors. The new triazine-quinoline hybrids (8a-n) exhibited potent COX-2 inhibitory profiles (IC50 = 0.047–0.32 μM, SI ~ 20.6–265.9) compared to celecoxib (IC50 = 0.045 μM, SI ~ 326). Moreover, they revealed potent inhibitory activities against 15-LOX enzyme compared to reference quercetin (IC50 = 1.81–3.60 vs. 3.34 μM). Hybrid 8e was the most potent and selective dual COX-2/15-LOX inhibitor (COX-2 IC50 = 0.047 μM, SI = 265.9, 15-LOX IC50 = 1.81 μM). These hybrids were further challenged by their ability to inhibit NO, ROS, TNF-α, IL-6 inflammatory mediators, and 15-LOX product, 15-HETE, production in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages cells. Compound 8e was the most potent hybrid in reducing ROS and 15-HETE levels showing IC50 values of 1.02 μM (11-fold more potent than that of celecoxib, IC50 = 11.75 μM) and 0.17 μM (about 43 times more potent than celecoxib, IC50 = 7.46 μM), respectively. Hybrid 8h exhibited an outstanding TNF-α inhibition with IC50 value of 0.40 μM which was about 25 times more potent than that of celecoxib and diclofenac (IC50 = 10.69 and 10.27 μM, respectively). Docking study of the synthesized hybrids into the active sites of COX-2 and 15-LOX enzymes ensures their favored binding affinity. To our knowledge, herein we reported the first 1,2,4-triazine-quinoline hybrids as dual COX/15-LOX inhibitors.

- Novel hybrid conjugates with dual estrogen receptor α degradation and histone deacetylase inhibitory activities for breast cancer therapy
-
Hormone therapy targeting estrogen receptors is widely used clinically for the treatment of breast cancer, such as tamoxifen, but most of them are partial agonists, which can cause serious side effects after long-term use. The use of selective estrogen receptor down-regulators (SERDs) may be an effective alternative to breast cancer therapy by directly degrading ERα protein to shut down ERα signaling. However, the solely clinically used SERD fulvestrant, is low orally bioavailable and requires intravenous injection, which severely limits its clinical application. On the other hand, double- or multi-target conjugates, which are able to synergize antitumor activity by different pathways, thus may enhance therapeutic effect in comparison with single targeted therapy. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of novel dual-functional conjugates targeting both ERα degradation and histone deacetylase inhibiton by combining a privileged SERD skeleton 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane sulfonamide (OBHSA) with a histone deacetylase inhibitor side chain. We found that substituents on both the sulfonamide nitrogen and phenyl group of OBHSA unit had significant effect on biological activities. Among them, conjugate 16i with N-methyl and naphthyl groups exhibited potent antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells, and excellent ERα degradation activity and HDACs inhibitory ability. A further molecular docking study indicated the interaction patterns of these conjugates with ERα, which may provide guidance to design novel SERDs or PROTAC-like SERDs for breast cancer therapy.

- Hybrid quinoline-thiosemicarbazone therapeutics as a new treatment opportunity for Alzheimer’s disease-synthesis, in vitro cholinesterase inhibitory potential and computational modeling analysis
-
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. The limited pharmacological approaches based on cholinesterase inhibitors only provide symptomatic relief to AD patients. Moreover, the adverse side effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, and headaches associated with these drugs and numerous clinical trial failures present substantial limitations on the use of medications and call for a detailed insight of disease heterogeneity and development of preventive and multifactorial therapeutic strategies on urgent basis. In this context, we herein report a series of quinoline-thiosemicarbazone hybrid therapeutics as selective and potent inhibitors of cholinesterases. A facile multistep synthetic approach was utilized to generate target structures bearing multiple sites for chemical modifications and establishing drug-receptor interactions. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were fully established using readily available spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, 1H- and 13C-NMR). In vitro inhibitory results revealed compound 5b as a promising and lead inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.12 ± 0.02 μM, a 5-fold higher potency than standard drug (galantamine; IC50 = 0.62 ± 0.01 μM). The synergistic effect of electron-rich (methoxy) group and ethylmorpholine moiety in quinolinethiosemicarbazone conjugates contributes significantly in improving the inhibition level. Molecular docking analysis revealed various vital interactions of potent compounds with amino acid residues and reinforced the in vitro results. Kinetics experiments revealed the competitive mode of inhibition while ADME properties favored the translation of identified inhibitors into safe and promising drug candidates for pre-clinical testing. Collectively, inhibitory activity data and results from key physicochemical properties merit further research to ensure the design and development of safe and high-quality drug candidates for Alzheimer’s disease.

- Hypervalent Iodine Reagent-Promoted Hofmann-Type Rearrangement/Carboxylation of Primary Amides
-
A novel transformation of primary amides to secondary amides promoted by hypervalent iodine reagents was developed. The hypervalent iodine reagent-mediated Hofmann-type rearrangement generated an isocyanate intermediate, which was subsequently trapped by an in situ generated carboxylic acid from the hypervalent iodine reagent to provide the corresponding secondary amides. This method provided a facile and efficient route for the synthesis of secondary amides from primary amides and also revealed novel reactivities of hypervalent iodine reagents.

- Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes promoted by cyanuric chloride and dimethyl sulfoxide under a mild condition
-
Synthesis of amides via Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes promoted by cyanuric chloride (TCT)/DMSO under mild conditions has been reported. Conditions of the Beckmann rearrangement, e.g., solvents, the ratios of TCT/DMSO, and the temperature, were investigated using diphenylmethanone oxime as a substrate. The optimized conditions were adopted to afford fourteen amides with yields ranging from 20% to 99%. A plausible mechanism involving an active dimethyl alkoxysulfonium intermediate was proposed according to the mass spectrometry analysis. To our best knowledge, this is the first case of study on Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes promoted by TCT/DMSO under a mild condition to afford amides efficiently.

- Diversity Oriented Clicking (DOC): Divergent Synthesis of SuFExable Pharmacophores from 2-Substituted-Alkynyl-1-Sulfonyl Fluoride (SASF) Hubs
-
Diversity Oriented Clicking (DOC) is a unified click-approach for the modular synthesis of lead-like structures through application of the wide family of click transformations. DOC evolved from the concept of achieving “diversity with ease”, by combining classic C?C π-bond click chemistry with recent developments in connective SuFEx-technologies. We showcase 2-Substituted-Alkynyl-1-Sulfonyl Fluorides (SASFs) as a new class of connective hub in concert with a diverse selection of click-cycloaddition processes. Through the selective DOC of SASFs with a range of dipoles and cyclic dienes, we report a diverse click-library of 173 unique functional molecules in minimal synthetic steps. The SuFExable library comprises 10 discrete heterocyclic core structures derived from 1,3- and 1,5-dipoles; while reaction with cyclic dienes yields several three-dimensional bicyclic Diels–Alder adducts. Growing the library to 278 discrete compounds through late-stage modification was made possible through SuFEx click derivatization of the pendant sulfonyl fluoride group in 96 well-plates—demonstrating the versatility of the DOC approach for the rapid synthesis of diverse functional structures. Screening for function against MRSA (USA300) revealed several lead hits with improved activity over methicillin.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 5-((substituted quinolin-3-yl/1-naphthyl) methylene)-3-substituted imidazolidin-2,4-dione as HIV-1 fusion inhibitors
-
A series of novel 5-(substituted quinolin-3-yl or 1-naphthyl)methylene)-3-substituted imidazolidin-2,4-dione 9–26 was designed and synthesized. The prepared compounds were identified using 1H NMR, 13C NMR as well as elemental analyses. The inhibitory activity of 9–26 on HIV-1IIIB replication in MT-2 cells was evaluated. Some derivatives showed good to excellent anti-HIV activities as compounds 13, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 23. They showed EC50 of 0.148, 0.460, 0.332, 0.50, 0.271 and 0.420 μM respectively being more potent than compound I (EC50 = 0.70 μM) and II ( EC50 = 2.40 μM) as standards. The inhibitory activity of 9–26 on infected primary HIV-1 domain, 92US657 (clade B, R5) was investigated. All the tested compounds consistently inhibited infection of this virus with EC50 from 0.520 to 11.857 μM. Results from SAR studies showed that substitution on ring A with 6/7/8-methyl group resulted in significant increase in the inhibitory activity against HIV-1IIIB infection (5- >300 times) compared to the unsubstituted analog 9. The cytotoxicity of these compounds on MT-2 cells was tested and their CC50 values ranged from 11 to 85 μM with selectivity indexes ranged from 0.53 to 166. The docking study revealed nice fitting of the new compounds into the hydrophobic pocket of HIV-1 gp41 and higher affinity than NB-64. Compound 13, the most active in preventing HIV-1IIIB infection, adopted a similar orientation to compound IV. Molecular docking analysis of the new compounds revealed hydrogen bonding interactions between the imidazolidine-2,4-dione ring and LYS574 which were missed in the weakly active derivatives.

- Design and synthesis of novel pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one bearing quinoline scaffold as potent dual PDE5 inhibitors and apoptotic inducers for cancer therapy
-
PDE5 targeting represents a new and promising strategy for apoptosis induction and inhibition of tumor cell growth due to its over-expression in diverse types of human carcinomas. Accordingly, we report the synthesis of series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one carrying quinoline moiety (11a-r) with potential dual PDE5 inhibition and apoptotic induction for cancer treatment. These hybrids were structurally elucidated and characterized with variant spectroscopic techniques as 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The assessment of their anticancer activities has been declared. All the rationalized compounds 11a-r have been selected for their cytotoxic activity screening by NCI against 60 cell lines. Compounds 11a, 11b, 11j and 11k were the most active hybrids. Among all, compound 11j was further selected for five dose tesing and it displayed outstanding activity with strong antitumor activity against the nine tumor subpanels tested with selectivity ratios ranging from 0.019 to 8.3 at the GI50 level. Further, the most active targets 11a, b, j and k were screened for their PDE5 inhibitory activity, compound 11j (with IC50 1.57 nM) exhibited the most potent PDE5 inhibitory activity. Moreover, compound 11j is also showed moderate EGFR inhibition with IC50 of 5.827 ± 0.46 μM, but significantly inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin pathway with IC501286.96 ± 12.37 ng/mL. In addition, compound 11j induced the intrinsic apoptotic mitochondrial pathway in HepG2 cells as evidenced by the lower expression levels of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, and the higher expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, p53, cytochrome c and the up-regulated active caspase-9 and caspase-3 levels. All results confirmed by western blotting assay. Compound 11j exhibit pre G1 apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase. In conclusion, hybridization of quinoline moiety with the privileged pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinon-4-one structure resulted in highly potent anticancer agent, 11j, which deserves more study, in particular, in vivo and clinical investiagtions, and it is expected that these results would be applied for more drug discovery process.

- Potent quinoline-containing combretastatin a-4 analogues: Design, synthesis, antiproliferative, and anti-tubulin activity
-
A novel series of quinoline derivatives of combretastatin A-4 incorporating rigid hydrazone and a cyclic oxadiazole linkers were synthesized and have demonstrated potent tubulin polymerization inhibitory properties. Many of these novel derivatives have shown significant antiproliferative activities in the submicromolar range. The most potent compound, 19h, demonstrated superior IC50 values ranging from 0.02 to 0.04 μM against four cancer cell lines while maintaining low cytotoxicity in MCF-10A non-cancer cells, thereby suggesting 19h’s selectivity towards proliferating cancer cells. In addition to tubulin polymerization inhibition, 19h caused cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 cells at the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis. Collectively, these findings indicate that 19h holds potential for further investigation as a potent chemotherapeutic agent targeting tubulin.

-
Chlorotropylium chloride as a catalyst for the transformations of oximes, ketones, and aldehydes to their corresponding amides and nitriles in excellent yields (up to 99 %) and in short reaction times (mostly 10–15 min). Oximes were electrophilically attacked on the hydroxyl oxygen by chlorotropylium. The produced tropylium oxime ethers were the key intermediates, of which the ketoxime ether led to amide through Beckmann rearrangement, and the aldoxime ether led to nitrile by nitrogen base DBU assisted formal dehydration. This chlorotropylium activation protocol offered general, mild, and efficient avenues bifurcately from oximes to both amides and nitriles by one organocatalyst.

-
The Schmidt reaction has been an efficient and widely used synthetic approach to amides and nitriles since its discovery in 1923. However, its application often entails the use of volatile, potentially explosive, and highly toxic azide reagents. Here, we report a sequence whereby triflic anhydride and formic and acetic acids activate the bulk chemical nitromethane to serve as a nitrogen donor in place of azides in Schmidt-like reactions. This protocol further expands the substrate scope to alkynes and simple alkyl benzenes for the preparation of amides and nitriles.

Allenes are unique coupling partners in transition-metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization leading to a variety of products via alkenylation, allenylation, allylation, and annulation reactions. The outcome is governed by both the reactivity of the allene and the formation and stability of the organometallic intermediate. An efficient Rh(III)-catalyzed, weakly coordinating group-directed dienylation of electronically unbiased allenes is developed using an N-acyl amino acid as a ligand. Further elaboration of the dienylated products to construct polycyclic compounds is also described.

- Quinoline Based Monocarbonyl Curcumin Analogs as Potential Antifungal and Antioxidant Agents: Synthesis, Bioevaluation and Molecular Docking Study
-
In search for new fungicidal and free radical scavenging agents, we synthesized a focused library of 2-chloroquinoline based monocarbonyl analogs of curcumin (MACs). The synthesized MACs were evaluated for in vitro antifungal and antioxidant activity. The antifungal activity was evaluated against five different fungal strains such as Candida albicans, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Cryptococcus neoformans, respectively. Most of the synthesized MACs displayed promising antifungal activity compared to the standard drug Miconazole. Furthermore, molecular docking study on a crucial fungal enzyme sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) could provide insight into the plausible mechanism of antifungal activity. MACs were also screened for in vitro radical scavenging activity using butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as a standard. Almost all MACs exhibited better antioxidant activity compared to BHT.

The highlight of this methodology is the chemo- and regioselective cross-coupling between electronically similar substrates, which represents a highly challenging task in oxidative Ar-H/Ar-H cross-coupling reactions. Furthermore, this Cp?-free catalytic reaction tolerates a range of functional groups and requires only a low molar ratio of coupling partners. These features expedite the synthesis of unsymmetrical 2,2′-diaminobiaryls.

- Transition-Metal-Free C-C, C-O, and C-N Cross-Couplings Enabled by Light
-
Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-couplings to construct C-C, C-O, and C-N bonds have revolutionized chemical science. Despite great achievements, these metal catalysts also raise certain issues including their high cost, requirement of specialized ligands, sensitivity to air and moisture, and so-called "transition-metal-residue issue". Complementary strategy, which does not rely on the well-established oxidative addition, transmetalation, and reductive elimination mechanistic paradigm, would potentially eliminate all of these metal-related issues. Herein, we show that aryl triflates can be coupled with potassium aryl trifluoroborates, aliphatic alcohols, and nitriles without the assistance of metal catalysts empowered by photoenergy. Control experiments reveal that among all common aryl electrophiles only aryl triflates are competent in these couplings whereas aryl iodides and bromides cannot serve as the coupling partners. DFT calculation reveals that once converted to the aryl radical cation, aryl triflate would be more favorable to ipso substitution. Fluorescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry investigations suggest that the interaction between excited acetone and aryl triflate is essential to these couplings. The results in this report are anticipated to provide new opportunities to perform cross-couplings.

- SO2F2-Activated Efficient Beckmann Rearrangement of Ketoximes for Accessing Amides and Lactams
-
A novel, mild and practical protocol for the efficient activation of the Beckmann rearrangement utilizing the readily available and economical sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2 gas) has been developed. The substrate scope of the operationally simple methodology has been demonstrated by 37 examples with good to nearly quantitative isolated yields (over 90 % yield in most cases) in a short time, including B(OH)2, COOH, NH2, and OH substituted substrates. A tentative mechanism was proposed involving formation and elimination of key intermediate, sulfonyl ester.

- Visible Light-Promoted Beckmann Rearrangements: Separating Sequential Photochemical and Thermal Phenomena in a Continuous Flow Reactor
-
The Beckmann rearrangement of oximes to amides typically requires strong acids or highly reactive, hazardous electrophiles and/or elevated temperatures to proceed. A very attractive alternative is the in situ generation of Vilsmeier–Haack reagents, by means of photoredox catalysis, as promoters for the thermal Beckmann rearrangement. Investigation of the reaction parameters for this light-induced method using a one-pot strategy has shown that the reaction is limited by the different temperatures required for each of the two sequential steps. Using a continuous flow reactor, the photochemical and thermal processes have been separated by integrating a flow photoreactor unit at low temperature for the electrophile generation with a second reactor unit, at high temperature, where the rearrangement takes place. This strategy has enabled excellent conversions and yields for a diverse set of oximes, minimizing the formation of side products obtained with the original one-pot method.

- Synthesis and verification of fluorescent pH probes based on 2-Quinolone platform
-
Intracellular pH plays an important role in biological events, including cell metabolism, signal transduction, cell growth, apoptosis, and endocytosis. The development of simple and robust proton-recognizing fluorescent probes has been a research field of high interest. In this work, we describe the design and synthesis of a 2-quinolone Schiff base as a novel acidic fluorescent probe. The design strategy of the probe is based on non-classical hydrogen bonding in the form of an intramolecular three-centered hydrogen bond (THB). pH titrations at pH levels 2 and 7 indicate that there is enhancement of fluorescence with increasing proton concentration. Additionally, no interference of metal ions like Cu2+, Fe3+, Hg2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ ions were detected during these titrations.

- Scope and mechanism of a true organocatalytic beckmann rearrangement with a boronic acid/perfluoropinacol system under ambient conditions
-
Catalytic activation of hydroxyl functionalities is of great interest for the production of pharmaceuticals and commodity chemicals. Here, 2-alkoxycarbonyl- and 2-phenoxycarbonyl-phenylboronic acid were identified as efficient catalysts for the direct and chemoselective activation of oxime N-OH bonds in the Beckmann rearrangement. This classical organic reaction provides a unique approach to prepare functionalized amide products that may be difficult to access using traditional amide coupling between carboxylic acids and amines. Using only 5 mol % of boronic acid catalyst and perfluoropinacol as an additive in a polar solvent mixture, the operationally simple protocol features mild conditions, a broad substrate scope, and a high functional group tolerance. A wide variety of diaryl, aryl-alkyl, heteroaryl-alkyl, and dialkyl oximes react under ambient conditions to afford high yields of amide products. Free alcohols, amides, carboxyesters, and many other functionalities are compatible with the reaction conditions. Investigations of the catalytic cycle revealed a novel boron-induced oxime transesterification providing an acyl oxime intermediate involved in a fully catalytic nonself-propagating Beckmann rearrangement mechanism. The acyl oxime intermediate was prepared independently and was subjected to the reaction conditions. It was found to be self-sufficient; it reacts rapidly, unimolecularly without the need for free oxime. A series of control experiments and 18O labeling studies support a true catalytic pathway involving an ionic transition structure with an active and essential role for the boronyl moiety in both steps of transesterification and rearrangement. According to 11B NMR spectroscopic studies, the additive perfluoropinacol provides a transient, electrophilic boronic ester that is thought to serve as an internal Lewis acid to activate the ortho-carboxyester and accelerate the initial, rate-limiting step of transesterification between the precatalyst and the oxime substrate.

- Dichloroimidazolidinedione-Activated Beckmann Rearrangement of Ketoximes for Accessing Amides and Lactams
-
A novel protocol for the activation of the Beckmann rearrangement utilizing the readily available and economical geminal dichloroimidazolidinediones (DCIDs) on a substoichiometric scale (10 mol %) has been developed. A unique self-propagating mechanism for the substoichiometric dichloroimidazolidinedione-activated transformation was proposed and validated. The substrate scope of the developed protocol has been demonstrated by 23 examples with good to excellent yields (mostly 90-98%) in a short time (mostly 10-30 min), including a substrate for synthesizing the monomer of nylon-12 and a complicated steroidal substrate on a preparative scale. This research not only unveils for the first time the synthetic potential of substoichiometric amounts of dichloroimidazolidinediones in promoting chemical transformation but also offers yet another important illustration of the self-propagating cycle in the context of the Beckmann rearrangement activated by a structurally novel organic promoter.

- Synthesis, characterization and anti-cancer activity of hydrazide derivatives incorporating a quinoline moiety
-
Identification of the novel (E)-N1-((2-chloro-7-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)methylene)-3-(phenylthio) propanehydrazide scaffold 18 has led to the development of a new series of biologically active hydrazide compounds. The parent compound 18 and new quinoline derivatives 19-26 were prepared from the corresponding quinoline hydrazones and substituted carboxylic acids using EDC-mediated peptide coupling reactions. Further modification of the parent compound 18 was achieved by replacement of the quinoline moiety with other aromatic systems. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-cancer activity against the SH-SY5Y and Kelly neuroblastoma cell lines, as well as the MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell lines. Analogues 19 and 22 significantly reduced the cell viability of neuroblastoma cancer cells with micromolar potency and significant selectivity over normal cells. The quinoline hydrazide 22 also induced G1 cell cycle arrest, as well as upregulation of the p27kip1 cell cycle regulating protein.

- Mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed direct trifluoroethylation of aromatic systems by C-H activation
-
The introduction of trifluoroalkyl groups into aromatic molecules is an important transformation in the field of organic and medicinal chemistry. However, the direct installation of fluoroalkyl groups onto aromatic molecules still represents a challenging and highly demanding synthetic task. Herein, a simple trifluoroethylation process that relies on the palladium-catalyzed C-H activation of aromatic compounds is described. With the utilization of a highly active trifluoroethyl(mesityl)iodonium salt, the developed catalytic method enables the first highly efficient and selective trifluoroethylation of aromatic compounds. The robust catalytic procedure provides the desired products in up to 95 % yield at 25 °C in 1.5 to 3 hours and tolerates a broad range of functional groups. The utilization of hypervalent reagents opens new synthetic possibilities for direct alkylations and fluoroalkylations in the field of transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation.

- Novel tetrazoloquinoline-rhodanine conjugates: Highly efficient synthesis and biological evaluation
-
In search of new active molecules against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37Ra and Mycobacterium bovis BCG, a small focused library of rhodanine incorporated tetrazoloquinoline has been efficiently synthesized by using [HDBU][HSO4] acidic ionic liquid. The compound 3c found to be promising inhibitor of MTB H37Ra and M. bovis BCG characterized by lower MIC values 4.5 and 2.0 μg/mL, respectively. The active compounds were further tested for cytotoxicity against HeLa, THP-1, A549 and PANC-1 cell lines using MTT assay and showed no significant cytotoxic activity at the maximum concentration evaluated. Again, the synthesized compounds were found to have potential antifungal activity. Furthermore, to rationalize the observed biological activity data, the molecular docking study also been carried out against a potential target Zmp1 enzyme of MTB H37Ra, which revealed a significant correlation between the binding score and biological activity for these compounds. The results of in vitro and in silico study suggest that these compounds possess ideal structural requirement for the further development of novel therapeutic agents.

- Novel tetrazoloquinoline-thiazolidinone conjugates as possible antitubercular agents: Synthesis and molecular docking
-
A novel approach for the synthesis of a new 4-thiazolidinone scaffold was developed by a one-pot three-component cyclocondensation of various tetrazolo quinoline aldehydes 1a-f, acid hydrazide 2a-c, and thioglycolic acid 3 in the presence of [DBUH][OAc] as a catalyst in high yields. All the conjugates were screened for their antimycobacterial activity against MTB H37Ra and M. bovis BCG strains, with the MIC values ranging from 0.99-13.55 μmol mL-1 and 0.14-20.11 μmol mL-1, respectively. The 4-thiazolidinone-incorporated tetrazoloquinoline derivatives 4a, 4d, 4g, 4j, 4m, and 4p were highly potent against MTB H37Ra and M. bovis BCG strains. The most active compounds were also evaluated for their cytotoxicity against MCF-7, A549, and HCT 116 cell lines and were found to be non-cytotoxic. Further, molecular docking studies into the active site of the InhA enzyme revealed a similar binding mode to the native ligand in the crystal structure, thereby helping us to understand the ligand-protein binding interaction and establish a structural basis for the inhibition of mycobacterium tuberculosis. The results suggest that the tetrazoloquinoline-thiazolidinone conjugates 4a, 4d, 4g, 4j, 4m, and 4p are promising antitubercular agents.

A facile and highly efficient one-pot synthesis of phthalazine–quinoline derivatives is reported via four component reaction of phthalic anhydride, hydrazine hydrate, 5,5-dimethyl 1,3 cyclohexanedione and various quinoline aldehydes using PrxCoFe2?xO4(x?=?0.1) nanoparticles as a catalyst. The synthesized compounds have been evaluated for anti-biofilm activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. The compounds 12a (IC50?=?30.0?μM) and 12f (IC50?=?34.5?μM) had shown promising anti-biofilm activity against P. aeruginosa and C. albicans, respectively, when compared with standards without affecting the growth of cells (and thus behave as anti-quorum sensing agents). Compounds 12a (MIC?=?45.0?μg/mL) and 12f (MIC?=?57.5?μg/mL) showed significant potent antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa and C. albicans, respectively. Thus, the active derivatives were not only potent biofilm inhibitors but also efficient antimicrobial agents. In silico ADME and metabolic site prediction studies were also held out to set an effective lead candidate for the future antimicrobial drug discovery initiatives.

Aminobenzofuran-fused rhodamine dyes (AFR dyes) containing an amino group were constructed by an efficient condensation based on 3-coumaranone derivatives. AFR dyes exhibited significantly improved properties, including deep-red and near-infrared emissions, a large Stokes shift, good photostability, and wide pH stability. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium assay experiments show that these AFR dyes are biocompatible for their low cytotoxicity to both A549 and HeLa cells. Cell imaging data reveal that AFR1, AFR1E, and AFR2 are mainly located in the mitochondria, while AFR3 is a lysosome tracker. As far as we know, NIR AFR3 is the longest fluorescent rhodamine derivative containing the amino group. These amino group-containing AFR dyes hold great potential in fluorogenic detection, biomolecule labeling, and cell imaging.

- Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of Triketone-Quinoline Hybrids as Novel 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate Dioxygenase Inhibitors
-
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.27, HPPD) is one of the most important targets for herbicide discovery. In the search for new HPPD inhibitors with novel scaffolds, triketone-quinoline hybrids were designed and subsequently optimized on the basis of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Most of the synthesized compounds displayed potent inhibition of Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD), and some of them exhibited broad-spectrum and promising herbicidal activity at the rate of 150 g ai/ha by postemergence application. Most promisingly, compound III-l, 3-hydroxy-2-(2-methoxy-7-(methylthio)quinoline-3-carbonyl)cyclohex-2-enone (Ki = 0.009 ~M, AtHPPD), had broader spectrum of weed control than mesotrione. Furthermore, compound III-l was much safer to maize at the rate of 150 g ai/ha than mesotrione, demonstrating its great potential as herbicide for weed control in maize fields. Therefore, triketone-quinoline hybrids may serve as new lead structures for novel herbicide discovery.
