- Chagas Disease Drug Discovery: Multiparametric Lead Optimization against Trypanosoma cruzi in Acylaminobenzothiazole Series
-
Acylaminobenzothiazole hits were identified as potential inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi replication, a parasite responsible for Chagas disease. We selected compound 1 for lead optimization, aiming to improve in parallel its anti-T. cruzi activity (IC50 = 0.63 μM) and its human metabolic stability (human clearance = 9.57 mL/min/g). A total of 39 analogues of 1 were synthesized and tested in vitro. We established a multiparametric structure-activity relationship, allowing optimization of antiparasite activity, physicochemical parameters, and ADME properties. We identified compound 50 as an advanced lead with an improved anti-T. cruzi activity in vitro (IC50 = 0.079 μM) and an enhanced metabolic stability (human clearance = 0.41 mL/min/g) and opportunity for the oral route of administration. After tolerability assessment, 50 demonstrated a promising in vivo efficacy.

- P -Toluenesulfonic Acid Induced Conversion of Fluorinated Trimethylsilylethynylanilines into Aminoacetophenones: Versatile Precursors for the Synthesis of Benzoazaheterocycles
-
A simple and efficient approach to the synthesis of fluorinated amino-substituted acetophenones in good to excellent yields is reported. The heart of the proposed method consists of conversion of a Me 3 Si-C≡C- moiety into a MeC(=O)- group in the presence of p -tolu ene sulfonic acid (p -TSA) passing a stage of ethynylaniline formation. The reaction is metal-free, proceeds under mild conditions, and uses readily available starting compounds (trimethylsilylarylacetylene derivatives). The reaction provides access to amino-substituted acetophenones, which may serve as precursors for the synthesis of polyfluorinated azaheterocycles, having potential anticarcinogenic activity.

- Highly Regioselective Iodination of Arenes via Iron(III)-Catalyzed Activation of N-Iodosuccinimide
-
An iron(III)-catalyzed method for the rapid and highly regioselective iodination of arenes has been developed. Use of the powerful Lewis acid, iron(III) triflimide, generated in situ from iron(III) chloride and a readily available triflimide-based ionic liquid allowed activation of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and efficient iodination under mild conditions of a wide range of substrates including biologically active compounds and molecular imaging agents.

- An effective two-step synthesis, fluorescent properties, antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity evaluation of benzene-fluorinated 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinolin-4-ones
-
Abstract This study describes a simple and efficient procedure to synthesize a series of benzene-fluorinated 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinolin-4-ones by the PTSA-catalyzed cyclocondensation reaction of the corresponding ortho-alkynylanilines prepared by the Sonogashira reaction of fluoro-substituted 2-iodanilines with 2-methylbut-3-yn-2-ol. The photofluorescent properties (shape of bands, λex, λem, Stokes shift) of the new compounds were investigated. It has been revealed that the 2,3-dihydroquinolinones with different number of fluoro-substituents have almost the same fluorescence properties. The cytotoxicity evaluation of the 2,3-dihydroquinolinones against human myeloma, human mammary adenocarcinoma, human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 epithelial tumor cells, normal mouse fibroblasts and Chinese hamster Ag 17 cells was performed. It has been found that the benzo-perfluorinated derivatives of 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinolin-4-ones show enhanced cytotoxic effect against the tumor RPMI (human myeloma) cells line compared with the normal cells. Mutagenic and antioxidant properties of the compounds using Salmonella tester strain were studied. It has been shown, that the compounds are well antioxidants.

- Syntheses of 4-[1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)]-derivatives of 2-substituted-5-fluoroaniline: 'Cytosine replacement' analogs of deoxycytidine for evaluation as anticancer and antihuman immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) agents
-
A group of 4-[1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)]-derivatives of 5-fluoroaniline possessing a variety of aryl C-2 substituents (6a R = H, 6b R = F, 6c R = Me) were synthesized. Accordingly, a Heck-type coupling reaction of the 4-iodoaniline derivatives (13a-c) with the bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)glycal (11) in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and Ph3As, followed by removal of the tert-butyldimethylsilyl protection groups using n-Bu4N+F-, yielded the corresponding 4-(β-D-glycero-pentofuran-3-ulos-1-yl)aniline derivatives (14a-c) having a C-3 C=O in the sugar ring. Reduction of the C-3 C=O compounds (14a-c) using NaB(OAc)3H afforded the target 4-[1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)]-derivatives of the respective 2-substituted-5-fluoroaniline (6a-c). The deoxycytidine mimic, 3-fluoro-4-[1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)]aniline (6a), in which the cytosine ring of deoxycytidine is replaced by a 4-(3-fluoroaniline) ring system, was inactive as an anticancer agent against a variety of tumor cell lines, and as an antihuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1, HIV-2) agent. The failure of this unnatural deoxycytidine mimic (6a) to exhibit anticancer-antiviral activity may be due to its inability to undergo phosphorylation by host cell- and virus-induced kinases.
