- An efficient Pd@Pro-GO heterogeneous catalyst for the α, β-dehydrogenation of saturated aldehyde and ketones
-
An Efficient Pd@Pro-GO heterogeneous catalyst was developed that can promote the α, β-dehydrogenation of saturated aldehyde and ketones in the yield of 73% ? 92% at mild conditions without extra oxidants and additives. Pd@Pro-GO heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized via two steps: firstly, the Pro-GO was obtained by the esterification reaction between graphene oxide (GO) and N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-L-proline (Boc-Pro-OH), followed by removing the protection group tert-Butoxycarbonyl (Boc), which endowed the proline-functionalized GO with both the lewis acid site (COOH) and the bronsted base site (NH), besides, the pyrrolidine of proline also can form imine with aldehydes to activate these substrates; Second, palladium was dispersed on the proline-functionalized GO (Pro-GO) to obtained heterogeneous catalyst Pd@Pro-GO. Mechanistic studies have shown that the Pd@Pro-GO-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation of saturated aldehyde and ketones was realized by an improved heterogeneously catalyzed Saegusa oxidation reaction. Based on the obove characteristics, the Pd@Pro-GO will be widely used in the transition metal catalytic field.

- Polysubstituted Indole Synthesis via Palladium/Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis of Oxime Esters
-
Polysubstituted indoles are prevalent in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. Presented herein is the fact that polyfunctionalized indoles can be efficiently constructed from easily accessible oxime esters and aryl iodides, involving a palladium/norbornene synergistic synthesis. The reaction is enabled by a unique class of electrophiles in palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis, which are oxime esters derived from simple ketone. The broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance could make this method attractive for the synthesis of polysubstituted indoles.

- Design, green synthesis, antioxidant activity screening, and evaluation of protective effect on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury of novel monoenone monocarbonyl curcumin analogs
-
Antioxidants with high efficacy and low toxicity have the potential to treat cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI). Dienone monocarbonyl curcumin analogs (DMCA) capable of overcoming the instability and pharmacokinetic defects of curcumin possess notable antioxidant activity but are found to be significantly toxic. In this study, a novel skeleton of the monoenone monocarbonyl curcumin analogue sAc possessing reduced toxicity and improved stability was designed on the basis of the DMCA skeleton. Moreover, 32 sAc analogs were obtained by applying a green, simple, and economical synthetic method. Multiple sAc analogs with an antioxidant protective effect in PC12 cells were screened using an H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage model, and quantitative evaluation of structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model with regression coefficient of R2 = 0.918921 was built through random forest algorithm (RF). Among these compounds, the optimally active compound sAc15 elicited a potent protective effect on cell growth of PC12 cells by effectively eliminating ROS generation in response to oxidative stress injury by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling pathway. In addition, sAc15 exhibited good protection against CIRI in the mice middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. In this paper, we provide a novel class of antioxidants and a potential compound for stroke treatment.

- 8-Hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one analogues as potential β2-agonists: Design, synthesis and activity study
-
β2-Agonists that bind to plasmalemmal β2-adrenoceptors causing cAMP accumulation are widely used as bronchodilators in chronic respiratory diseases. Here, we designed and synthesized a group of 8-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one analogues and studied their β2-agonistic activities with a cellular cAMP assay. Compounds B05 and C08 were identified as potent (EC50 2-agonists among the compounds tested. They behaved as partial β2-agonists in non-overexpressed HEK293 cells, and possessed rapid smooth muscle relaxant actions and long duration of action in isolated guinea pig tracheal strip preparations. In summary, B05 and C08 are β2-agonists with potential applicability in chronic respiratory diseases.

- Organocatalytic diastereo- And enantioselective oxa-hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of enones with aryl trifluoromethyl ketones for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted tetrahydropyrans
-
Tetrahydropyran derivatives are found in bioactives, and introduction of the trifluoromethyl group into molecules often improves biofunctions. Here we report diastereo- and enantioselective oxa-hetero-Diels-Alder reactions catalyzed by amine-based catalyst systems that afford trifluoromethyl-substituted tetrahydropyranones. Catalyst systems and conditions suitable for the reactions to provide the desired diastereomer products with high enantioselectivities were identified, and various trifluoromethyl-substituted tetrahydropyranones were synthesized with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Mechanistic investigation suggested that the reactions involve a [4 + 2] cycloaddition pathway, in which the enamine of the enone acts as the diene and the ketone carbonyl group of the aryl trifluoromethyl ketone acts as the dienophile. In this study, tetrahydropyran derivatives with the desired stereochemistry that are difficult to synthesize by previously reported methods were concisely obtained, and the range of tetrahydropyran derivatives that can be synthesized was expanded.

- One-pot two-step chemoenzymatic deracemization of allylic alcohols using laccases and alcohol dehydrogenases
-
A series of enantioenriched (hetero)aromatic secondary allylic alcohols has been synthesized through deracemization of the corresponding racemic mixtures combining a non-selective chemoenzymatic oxidation (laccase from Trametes versicolor and oxy-radical TEMPO) and a stereoselective biocatalyzed reduction (lyophilized cells of E. coli overexpressing an alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH). Both steps were performed in aqueous medium under very mild reaction conditions. After optimization, a sequential one-pot two-step protocol was set up, obtaining the corresponding chiral alcohols in moderate to high conversions (48–95%) and enantiomeric excess (65->99% ee). Depending on the ADH stereopreference, both antipodes from these valuable chiral synthons could be prepared, even at preparative scale (119?178 mg), in a straightforward manner.

- Discovery and Characterization of Pure RhlR Antagonists against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections
-
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic human pathogen that forms biofilms and produces virulence factors via quorum sensing (QS). Blocking the QS system in P. aeruginosa is an excellent strategy to reduce biofilm formation and the production of virulence factors. RhlR plays an essential role in the QS system of P. aeruginosa. We synthesized 55 analogues based on the chemical structure of 4-gingerol and evaluated their RhlR inhibitory activities using the cell-based reporter strain assay. Comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies identified the alkynyl ketone 30 as the most potent RhlR antagonist. This compound displayed selective RhlR antagonism over LasR and PqsR, strong inhibition of biofilm formation, and reduced production of virulence factors in P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the survival rate of Tenebrio molitor larvae treated with 30 in vivo greatly improved. Therefore, compound 30, a pure RhlR antagonist, can be utilized for developing QS-modulating molecules in the control of P. aeruginosa infections.

- Sequential Two-Step Stereoselective Amination of Allylic Alcohols through the Combination of Laccases and Amine Transaminases
-
A sequential two-step chemoenzymatic methodology for the stereoselective synthesis of (3E)-4-(het)arylbut-3-en-2-amines in a highly selective manner and under mild reaction conditions is described. The approach consists of oxidation of the corresponding racemic alcohol precursors by the use of a catalytic system made up of the laccase from Trametes versicolor and the oxy-radical TEMPO, followed by the asymmetric reductive bio-transamination of the corresponding ketone intermediates. Optimisation of the oxidation reaction, exhaustive amine transaminase screening for the bio-transaminations and the compatibility of the two enzymatic reactions were studied in depth in search of a design of a compatible sequential cascade. This synthetic strategy was successful and the combinations of enzymes displayed a broad substrate scope, with 16 chiral amines being obtained in moderate to good isolated yields (29–75 %) and with excellent enantiomeric excess values (94 to >99 %). Interestingly, both amine enantiomers can be achieved, depending on the selectivity of the amine transaminase employed in the system.

- Selective Cross-Dehydrogenative C(sp3)-H Arylation with Arenes
-
Selective C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond construction is of central interest in chemical synthesis. Despite the success of classic cross-coupling reactions, the cross-dehydrogenative coupling between inert C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H bonds represents an attractive alternative toward new C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds. Herein, we establish a selective inter-and intramolecular C(sp3)-H arylation of alcohols with nondirected arenes that thereby provides a general pathway to access a wide range of β-arylated alcohols, including tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ols and benzopyran-3-ols, with high to excellent chemo-and regioselectivity.

-
Cancer is one of the major causes of mortality all around the world. Globally, nearly 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. Researchers are trying to synthesize new anticancer agents. Previous studies demonstrated that some pyrazole derivatives could be considered as potential anticancer agents. Herein, ten novel derivatives of 1,5-diarylpyrazole were synthesized in four step reactions and cytotoxic activity was investigated by MTT cell viability assay. All of the compounds were characterized by1H NMR and13C NMR and their purity was confirmed by elemental analysis. The cytotoxicity was determined against three cancerous cell lines (HT-29, U87MG and MDA-MB 468) and AGO1522 as a normal cell line. Compound 5a showed the best cytotoxic activity on cancerous cell lines in comparison to paclitaxel. Annexin V/ PI staining assay also showed that compounds 5a and 5i would lead to significant apoptosis induction in MDA-MB 486 cell line.

- Stereodivergent Pd/Cu Catalysis for the Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformation of Racemic Unsymmetrical 1,3-Disubstituted Allyl Acetates

A stereodivergent Pd/Cu catalyst system has been developed for the unprecedented dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DyKAT) of racemic unsymmetrical 1,3-disubstituted allylic acetates with prochiral aldimine esters. A series of α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids bearing vicinal stereocenters were easily prepared with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr). Moreover, all four stereoisomers of the product can be readily obtained simply by switching the configurations of the two chiral metal catalysts. Furthermore, the present work highlights the power of synergistic Pd/Cu catalysis consisting of two common bidentate chiral ligands for stereodivergent synthesis.

- A Broad-Spectrum Synthesis of Tetravinylethylenes
-
The first general synthesis of compounds of the tetravinylethylene (TVE) family is reported. Ramirez-type dibromo-olefination of readily accessible penta-1,4-dien-3-ones generates 3,3-dibromo[3]dendralenes, which undergo twofold Negishi, Suzuki–Miyaura or Mizoroki–Heck reactions with a wide variety of olefinic coupling partners. This route delivers a broad range of unsymmetrically substituted tetravinylethylenes with up to three different alkenyl substituents attached to the central C=C bond. The extensive scope of the approach is demonstrated by the preparation of the first higher order oligo-alkenic through-conjugated/cross-conjugated hybrid compounds. An unsymmetrically substituted TVE is shown to undergo a domino electrocyclization–cycloaddition with high site-selectivity and diastereoselectivity, thereby demonstrating the substantial synthetic potential of substituted TVEs for controlled, rapid structural complexity generation.

- Method for synthesizing asymmetrical mono-carbonyl curcumin analogue intermediate

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing an asymmetrical mono-carbonyl curcumin analogue intermediate. The method comprises the following steps: using one of acetone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, pyrone and 4-piperidone and benzaldehyde with a substituent group as reaction raw materials, using anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent, firstly reacting for 48 h under the catalysis of L-proline, then using concentrated hydrochloric acid to provide an acidic condition for dehydration, and carrying out room temperature reaction synthesis to obtain the asymmetrical mono-carbonyl curcumin analogue intermediate. All kinds of raw materials used in the method are generally commercialized, and can be directly purchased and obtained. Compared with the prior art, a great number of solid wastes cannot be generated without using any precious metal catalyst or halogenated solvent. Therefore, the method has the advantages of simple steps, easy operation, little pollution, high yield, easyobtaining for raw materials and the like, and has potential and wide application prospects, so that reference can be provided for the synthesis of the asymmetrical mono-carbonyl curcumin analogue intermediate.

- Construction of Multiple-Substituted Chiral Cyclohexanes through Hydrogenative Desymmetrization of 2,2,5-Trisubstituted 1,3-Cyclohexanediones

The construction of chiral multiple-substituted cyclohexanes motifs is a challenging topic in organic synthesis. By the combination of desymmetrization and remote stereocontrol, a ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenative desymmetrization of 2,2,5-trisubstituted 1,3-cyclohexanediones has been successfully developed for the construction of chiral multiple-substituted cyclohexanes with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. When an ester group was introduced to the two-position, a hydrogenative desymmetrization/transesterification cascade occurred, affording the bicyclic lactones bearing three stereocenters, including two discrete stereocenters and one quaternary stereogenic center, with high enantioselectivity. The products are the multiple-substituted chiral cyclohexanes bearing the hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups, which provide a new opportunity for further precise elaboration.

A synthetic method of dialkylideneacetones has been developed. Compared with known protocols, the method employed catalytic Ca(OH)2 as the cheap, mild base catalyst and dilute aqueous EtOH (20%, v/v) as the green and safe solvent. The procedure was easily operated: In most cases, the product could be isolated by a simple filtration, and purified by washing with water. This paper provided experimental details of the reactions, which could be applied in gram-scale synthesis and should be a very reliable and practical protocol to prepare these useful compounds in laboratory and at the industrial level.

- Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-l-proline)-catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt and Knoevenagel condensations: Unexpected enhanced catalytic activity of the polymer catalyst
-
The polymer catalyst is more effective than the corresponding monomer catalyst? Yes! The proline-modified polymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-l-proline), was unexpectedly found to be more effective than the corresponding monomer l-proline catalyst in Claisen-Schmidt and Knoevenagel condensation reactions. 1H NMR, GC analysis and control reactions revealed that this abnormal phenomenon might be attributed to an enhanced concentration of the reactant on the surface of the polymer catalyst, which might be due to adsorption of the reactants to the polymer through hydrogen-bonding of the proline moiety with the reactants. This new polymer catalyst was so robust that it could be reused at least 10 times without deactivation. The polymer-catalyzed method was rather tolerant of substrates bearing sensitive groups that are usually incompatible with conventional acid- or base-catalyzed methods, reducing the protection-deprotection steps of the substrates.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Cleavage of α-Allenylic Aryl Ether toward Pyrazolemethylene-Substituted Phosphinyl Allenes and Their Transformations via Alkenyl C-P(O) Cleavage
-
A palladium-catalyzed two-component coupling of allenylphosphine oxides with conjugated N-tosylhydrazones is revealed. For the first time, the cleavage of α-allenylic aryl ether toward pyrazolemethylene-substituted phosphinyl allenes enabled facile synthesis of combined motifs with pyrazole and allene. Moreover, the obtained adducts could be easily transformed to potential bioactive multifunctionalized phosphinates via a novel alkenyl C-P(O) cleavage.

- Structure-Activity Relationships of 6- and 8-Gingerol Analogs as Anti-Biofilm Agents
-
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a causative agent of chronic infections in immunocompromised patients. Disruption of quorum sensing circuits is an attractive strategy for treating diseases associated with P. aeruginosa infection. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of gingerol analogs targeting LasR, a master regulator of quorum sensing networks in P. aeruginosa. Structure-activity relationship studies showed that a hydrogen-bonding interaction in the head section, stereochemistry and rotational rigidity in the middle section, and optimal alkyl chain length in the tail section are important factors for the enhancement of LasR-binding affinity and for the inhibition of biofilm formation. The most potent compound 41, an analog of (R)-8-gingerol with restricted rotation, showed stronger LasR-binding affinity and inhibition of biofilm formation than the known LasR antagonist (S)-6-gingerol. This new LasR antagonist can be used as an early lead compound for the development of anti-biofilm agents to treat P. aeruginosa infections.

- Preparation, Antiepileptic Activity, and Cardiovascular Safety of Dihydropyrazoles as Brain-Penetrant T-Type Calcium Channel Blockers
-
A series of dihydropyrazole derivatives was developed as potent, selective, and brain-penetrating T-type calcium channel blockers. An optimized derivative, compound 6c, was advanced to in vivo studies, where it demonstrated efficacy in the WAG/Rij rat model of generalized nonconvulsive, absence-like epilepsy. Compound 6c was not efficacious in the basolateral amygdala kindling rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy, and it led to prolongation of the PR interval in ECG recordings in rodents.

- Discovery of New Monocarbonyl Ligustrazine-Curcumin Hybrids for Intervention of Drug-Sensitive and Drug-Resistant Lung Cancer
-
The elevation of oxidative stress preferentially in cancer cells by inhibiting thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and/or enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production has emerged as an effective strategy for selectively targeting cancer cells. In this study, we designed and synthesized 21 ligustrazine-curcumin hybrids (10a-u). Biological evaluation indicated that the most active compound 10d significantly inhibited the proliferation of drug-sensitive (A549, SPC-A-1, LTEP-G-2) and drug-resistant (A549/DDP) lung cancer cells but had little effect on nontumor lung epithelial-like cells (HBE). Furthermore, 10d suppressed the TrxR/Trx system and promoted intracellular ROS accumulation and cancer cell apoptosis. Additionally, 10d inhibited the NF-κB, AKT, and ERK signaling, P-gp-mediated efflux of rhodamine 123, P-gp ATPase activity, and P-gp expression in A549/DDP cells. Finally, 10d repressed the growth of implanted human drug-resistant lung cancer in mice. Together, 10d acts a novel TrxR inhibitor and may be a promising candidate for intervention of lung cancer.

- Enzyme-catalyzed domino reaction: Efficient construction of spirocyclic oxindole skeleton using porcine pepsin
-
Pepsin from porcine gastric mucosa was used as a sustainable and environmentally friendly biocatalyst in the domino Knoevenagel/Michael/Michael reaction for the synthesis of spirooxindole derivatives in methanol. A wide range of isatins and α,β-unsaturated ketones reacting with malononitrile provided the corresponding products in yields of up to 99% with diastereoselectivities of up to >99:1 dr. This pepsin-catalyzed domino reaction provided a novel case of enzyme catalytic promiscuity.

- Synthesis and neuroprotective evaluation of (E)-3,4-dihydroxystyryl p-substituted-phenethyl ketone derivatives against inflammatory and oxidative injury
-
(E)-3,4-dihydroxystyryl p-substituted-phenethyl ketones and their 3,4-diacetylated derivatives were synthesized and examined their neuroprotective activities to further study the effect of p-substituents on the aromatic ring. The results revealed that steric hindrance effect of p-substituents has impact on neuroprotective activities against inflammatory and oxidative injury. Introduction of the bulkier groups are more beneficial to improve the neuroprotective activities than smaller groups. Compounds (4–5h, 4–5i and 4–5e) with p-substituted trifluoromethyl, isopropyl and t-butyl groups exhibited the best effects among all the target compounds.

- Traceless OH-Directed Wacker Oxidation-Elimination, an Alternative to Wittig Olefination/Aldol Condensation: One-Pot Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated and Nonconjugated Ketones from Homoallyl Alcohols
-
A new method for one-pot synthesis of β-substituted and β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated methyl ketones from homoallyl alcohols by sequential PdCl2/CrO3-promoted Wacker process followed by an acid-mediated dehydration reaction has been developed. Remarkably, internal homoallyl alcohols delivered regioselectively nonconjugated unsaturated carbonyl compounds under the same protocol. A new starting material-based synthesis of α,β-unsaturated and nonconjugated methyl ketones is demonstrated.

- Copper-catalyzed retro-aldol reaction of β-hydroxy ketones or nitriles with aldehydes: Chemo- and stereoselective access to (E)-enones and (E)-acrylonitriles
-
A copper-catalyzed transfer aldol type reaction of β-hydroxy ketones or nitriles with aldehydes is reported, which enables chemo- and stereoselective access to (E)-α,β-unsaturated ketones and (E)-acrylonitriles. A key step of the in situ copper(i)-promoted retro-aldol reaction of β-hydroxy ketones or nitriles is proposed to generate a reactive Cu(i) enolate or cyanomethyl intermediate, which undergoes ensuing aldol condensation with aldehydes to deliver the products. This reaction uses 1.2 mol% Cu(IPr)Cl (IPr denotes 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) as the catalyst in the presence of 6.0 mol% NaOtBu cocatalyst at room temperature or 70 °C. A range of aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes as well as acrylaldehydes are compatible with many useful functional groups being tolerated. Under the mild and weakly basic conditions, competitive Cannizzaro-type reaction of benzaldehydes and side reactions of base-sensitive functional groups can be effectively suppressed, which show synthetic advantages of this reaction compared to classic aldol reactions. The synthetic potential of this reaction is further demonstrated by the one-step synthesis of biologically active quinolines and 1,8-naphthyridine in excellent yields (up to 91%). Finally, a full catalytic cycle for this reaction has been constructed using DFT computational studies in the context of a retro-aldol/aldol two-stage mechanism. A rather flat reaction energy profile is found indicating that both stages are kinetically facile, which is consistent with the mild reaction conditions.

- Hydrogen Peroxide Promoted Mizoroki-Heck Reactions of Phenyldiazenes with Acrylates, Acrylamides, and Styrenes
-
Mizoroki-Heck reactions, which are well-known for aryldiazonium salts and which have recently been described for arylhydrazines, have now been extended to phenyldiazenes. In situ generation of phenyldiazenes from azocarboxylates allowed clean and selective reactions with styrenes, acrylates, and acrylamides using palladium(II) acetate in the presence of silver(I) acetate or hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Hydrogen peroxide was thereby shown to be a cheap and broadly applicable alternative for the established palladium-silver(I) system.

- Ambident Reactivity of Acetyl- and Formyl-Stabilized Phosphonium Ylides
-
The kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of formyl-stabilized ylide Ph3P=CHCHO (1) and acetyl-stabilized ylide Ph3P=CHCOMe (2) with benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+, 3) were investigated by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy. As ambident nucleophiles, ylides 1 and 2 can react at oxygen as well as at the α-carbon. For some reactions, it was possible to determine the second-order rate constant for O-attack as well as for C-attack and to derive the nucleophile-specific parameters N and sN according to the correlation lg k (20 °C) = sN(E + N) for both nucleophilic sites. Generally, O-attack of benzhydrylium ions is faster than C-attack. However, the initially formed benzhydryloxyvinylphosphonium ions can only be observed by NMR spectroscopy when benzhydryl cations with high Lewis acidity are employed. In other cases, rearrangement to the thermodynamically more stable products arising from C-attack occurs. The results derived from our investigations are employed to rationalize the behavior of ambident nucleophiles 1 and 2 in reactions with carbon-centered electrophiles in general. It is shown that the principle of hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) and the related Klopman-Salem concept of charge and orbital control lead to incorrect predictions of regioselectivity. We also show that the rate of the Wittig reaction of ylide 2 with aldehyde 14 is significantly faster than the rate of either C- or O-attack calculated using lg k (20 °C) = sN(E + N), thus indicating that the oxaphosphetane is formed by a concerted [2 + 2] cycloaddition.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel C3-functionalized oxindoles as potential Pim-1 kinase inhibitors
-
A novel series of C3-functionalized oxindoles, 3-(2-oxo-4-phenylbut-3-en-1-ylidene)indolin-2-ones, were designed, synthesized and investigated for inhibition of cell proliferation against different types of human cancer cell lines, including SW620, HeLa and A549. This biological study showed that these compounds containing the scaffolds of indole and aromatic α,β-unsaturated ketone had moderate to significant antitumor activities. Further study suggested that compound 4b, as one of this kind of structure derivative, showed broad-spectrum antitumor activities against MCF-7, PC-3, SKOV-3, U87, SMMC-7721, SY5Y and A875 cancer cell lines. Besides, the results of the inhibition of Pim kinases indicated that compound 4b showed selective and efficient anti-Pim-1 kinase activity (IC50 = 5 μM). Docking simulation, flow cytometry (FCM), and Hoechst 33342 staining assay suggested that the most active compound 4b induced cell death through apoptosis via binding to the active ATP pocket of Pim-1. Moreover, it showed that compound 4b had strong inhibition of tubulin polymerization which may be caused by inhibiting Pim-1. This journal is

- Catalytic microwave-promoted direct aldol condensation using resin-bound secondary amine
-
A series of polystyrene-supported imino group-bearing catalysts were prepared. A highly efficient combination of recyclable catalysts and microwave irradiation was developed as a green protocol for the direct aldol reaction. Notably, microwaves greatly shorten the reaction times to only 20 min and improve the yield significantly. Catalyst loading was reduced as well. Different aromatic aldehydes as aldol donors were subjected to our catalyst system and afforded the corresponding products in satisfactory yields. Additionally, the polymer-supported catalysts could be recovered by simple filtration and were reusable for at least four times without significant loss of reactivity.
