- Selective Reduction of Nitroarenes to Arylamines by the Cooperative Action of Methylhydrazine and a Tris(N-heterocyclic thioamidate) Cobalt(III) Complex
-
We report an efficient catalytic protocol that chemoselectively reduces nitroarenes to arylamines, by using methylhydrazine as a reducing agent in combination with the easily synthesized and robust catalyst tris(N-heterocyclic thioamidate) Co(III) complex [Co(κS,N-tfmp2S)3], tfmp2S = 4-(trifluoromethyl)-pyrimidine-2-thiolate. A series of arylamines and heterocyclic amines were formed in excellent yields and chemoselectivity. High conversion yields of nitroarenes into the corresponding amines were observed by using polar protic solvents, such as MeOH and iPrOH. Among several hydrogen donors that were examined, methylhydrazine demonstrated the best performance. Preliminary mechanistic investigations, supported by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and high-resolution mass spectrometry, suggest a cooperative action of methylhydrazine and [Co(κS,N-tfmp2S)3] via a coordination activation pathway that leads to the formation of a reduced cobalt species, responsible for the catalytic transformation. In general, the corresponding N-arylhydroxylamines were identified as the sole intermediates. Nevertheless, the corresponding nitrosoarenes can also be formed as intermediates, which, however, are rapidly transformed into the desired arylamines in the presence of methylhydrazine through a noncatalytic path. On the basis of the observed high chemoselectivity and yields, and the fast and clean reaction processes, the present catalytic system [Co(κS,N-tfmp2S)3]/MeNHNH2 shows promise for the efficient synthesis of aromatic amines that could find various industrial applications.

- Discovery of 1-(1H-indazol-4-yl)-3-((1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)methyl) ureas as potent and thermoneutral TRPV1 antagonists
-
A series of 1-indazol-3-(1-phenylpyrazol-5-yl)methyl ureas were investigated as hTRPV1 antagonists. The structure–activity relationship study was conducted systematically for both the indazole A-region and the 3-trifluoromethyl/t-butyl pyrazole C-region to optimize the antagonism toward the activation by capsaicin. Among them, the antagonists 26, 50 and 51 displayed highly potent antagonism with Ki(CAP) = 0.4–0.5 nM. Further, in vivo studies in mice indicated that these derivatives both antagonized capsaicin induced hypothermia, consistent with their in vitro activity, and themselves did not induce hyperthermia. In the formalin model, 51 showed anti-nociceptive activity in a dose-dependent manner.

- Design, synthesis and bioevaluation of novel 6-substituted aminoindazole derivatives as anticancer agents
-
In the present study, a series of 6-substituted aminoindazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for bio-activities. The compounds were initially designed as indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitors based on the structural feature of five IDO1 inhibitors, which are currently on clinical trials, and the important anticancer activity of the indazole scaffold. One of them, compound N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1,3-dimethyl-1H-indazol-6-amine (36), exhibited a potent anti-proliferative activity with an IC50 value of 0.4 ± 0.3 μM in human colorectal cancer cells (HCT116). This compound also remarkably suppressed the IDO1 protein expression. In the cell-cycle studies, the suppressive activity of compound 36 in HCT116 cells was related to the G2/M cell cycle arrest. Altogether, the current findings demonstrate that compound 36 would be promising for further development as a potential anticancer agent.

- Exploration of the linkage elements of porcupine antagonists led to potent Wnt signaling pathway inhibitors
-
The Wnt signaling pathway is a pivotal developmental pathway. It operates through control of cellular functions such as proliferation, differentiation, migration and polarity. Aberrant Wnt signaling has been implicated in the formation and metastasis of tumors. Porcupine is a component of the Wnt signaling pathway. It is a member of the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase family of proteins. Porcupine catalyzes the palmitoylation of Wnt proteins, a process which is essential to their secretion and activity. Here we report a novel series of compounds obtained by a scaffold hybridization strategy from two known porcupine inhibitor classes. The leading compound 62 demonstrated subnanomolar (IC50 0.11 nM) inhibition of Wnt signaling in a paracrine cellular reporter gene assay. Compound 62 also potently inhibited Wnt secretion into culture medium, an indication of direct inhibition of the porcupine protein. Furthermore, compound 62 showed excellent chemical, plasma and liver microsomal stabilities. Collectively, these results strongly support further optimization of this novel scaffold to develop better Wnt pathway inhibitors.

- Mild and selective hydrogenation of nitro compounds using palladium nanoparticles supported on amino-functionalized mesocellular foam
-
We present the utilization of a heterogeneous catalyst comprised of Pd nanoparticles supported on aminopropyl-functionalized siliceous mesocellular foam (Pd0-AmP-MCF) for the selective hydrogenation of aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines. In general, the catalytic protocol exclusively affords the desired amine products in excellent yields within short reaction times with the reactions performed at room temperature under ambient pressure of H2. Moreover, the reported Pd nanocatalyst displayed excellent structural integrity for this transformation as it could be recycled multiple times without any observable loss of activity or leaching of metal. In addition, the Pd nanocatalyst could be easily integrated into a continuous-flow device and used for the hydrogenation of 4-nitroanisole on a 2.5 g scale, where the product p-anisidine was obtained in 95% yield within 2 h with a Pd content of less than 1 ppm.

- Polymethylhydrosiloxane derived palladium nanoparticles for chemo- and regioselective hydrogenation of aliphatic and aromatic nitro compounds in water
-
Chemo- and regioselective hydrogenation of a wide range of aliphatic, unsaturated, aromatic and heteroaromatic nitro compounds into their corresponding amines has been achieved with highly efficient polysiloxane-stabilised "Pd" nanoparticles on NAP-magnesium oxide supports using an environmentally friendly hydrogenating agent, polymethylhydrosiloxane [PMHS] in water. Highly stable and active Pd nanoparticles were prepared by the reduction of NAP-Mg-PdCl4 with PMHS, which serves as a reducing agent as well as a capping agent. The well-dispersed palladium nanoparticles on NAP-MgO catalysts also exhibit excellent regioselectivity in the hydrogenation of dinitrobenzenes to the corresponding nitroanilines. The catalyst has high durability against sintering during the hydrogenation reaction and can be reused with no loss in its activity. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

- Mechanistic studies of the reduction of nitroarenes by NaBH4 or hydrosilanes catalyzed by supported gold nanoparticles
-
Herein, we show that mesoporous titania-supported gold nanoparticle assemblies (Au/MTA) catalyze the activation of NaBH4 and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl disiloxane (TMDS) compounds, which act as transfer hydrogenation agents for the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding anilines in moderate to high yields. On the other hand, nitroalkanes are reduced to the corresponding diazo and hydrazo compounds under the studied conditions. The substantial measured primary kinetic isotope effects found here suggested that B-H bond cleavage occurs in a rate-determining step and [Au]-H active hybrids are formed, which are responsible for the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding amines. Formal Hammett-type kinetic analysis of a range of para-X-substituted nitroarenes lends support to this hypothesis. Nitro compounds substituted with electron-withdrawing groups were reduced faster than the corresponding compounds with electron-donating groups. The presence of water enhanced the catalytic activity of Au/MTA in aprotic solvents. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies support the formation of the corresponding hydroxylamines as the only intermediate products. On the basis of the high observed chemoselectivities and the fast and clean reaction processes, these catalytic systems, i.e., Au/MTA-NaBH4 and Au/MTA-TMDS, show promise for the efficient synthesis of aromatic amines at industrial levels.

- Synthesis, antiproliferative and apoptotic activities of N-(6(4)-indazolyl)-benzenesulfonamide derivatives as potential anticancer agents
-
Recently, it has been reported that compounds bearing a sulfonamide moiety possess many types of biological activities, including anticancer activity. The present work reports the synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of some N-(6(4)-indazolyl)benzenesulfonamides and 7-ethoxy-N-(6(4)-indazolyl) benzenesulfonamides. All compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against three tumor cell lines: A2780 (human ovarian carcinoma) A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma) and P388 (murine leukemia). The results indicated that sulfonamides 2c, 3c, 6d, 8, 13, 3b and 16 were endowed with a pharmacologically interesting antiproliferative activity with compounds 2c and 3c showing the lower IC50 (from 0.50 ± 0.09 to 1.83 ± 0.52 μM and from 0.58 ± 0.17 to 5.83 ± 1.83 μM, respectively). Moreover, these indazoles were able to trigger apoptosis through the upregulation of the typical apoptosis markers p53 and bax. As regard to the hypothetic targets of these compounds, a preliminary docking analysis showed that all compounds seemed to interact with β-tubulin, in particular compound 3b that showed the lower Ki. The cytofluorimetric analysis of the cell cycle phases indicates that all compounds, when administered at their IC 75, caused a block in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle with the generation of subpopulations of cells with a number of chromosome >4n. When the IC50s were applied we observed a prevalent block in the G0/G1 phase except for compounds 16 and 8 where a partial G2/M block was present with a concomitant decrease of cells in the G0/G1 and S phases of the cell cycle. Altogether these results suggest a possible, but not exclusive, interaction with microtubules.

- Rapid reduction of heteroaromatic nitro groups using catalytic transfer hydrogenation with microwave heating
-
A method for the rapid, safe reduction of heteroaromatic and aromatic nitro groups to amines is described using catalytic transfer hydrogenation under microwave heating conditions. Commonly available Pd/C or Pt/C catalyst is extremely effective with 1,4-cyclohexadiene as the hydrogen transfer source. In the case of substrates containing potentially labile aromatic halogens, Pt/C is effective and results in little or no dehalogenation. In general, the reactions are complete within 5 min at 120 °C.

Several novel 2-alkylamino- and 2-alkylthiothiazolo[5,4-e]- and -[4,5-g]indazoles and their 6-alkyl and 8-alkyl derivatives have been synthesised in high overall yields starting from 5-nitro and 6-nitroindazoles in a three-step route involving the regioselective cyclisation of thioureidoindazoles and indazolyl dithiocarbamates as the key steps. Some assorted thiazoloindazoles have been screened for anticancer properties, which demonstrated the anticancer potential of at least one product, justifying its further follow-up.

- 4-Substituted indazoles as new inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase
-
A series of halo-1-H-indazoles has been synthesized and evaluated for its inhibitory activity on neuronal nitric oxide synthase. Introduction of bromine at the C4 position of the indazole ring system provided a compound almost as potent as the reference compound, that is, 7-nitroindazole (7-NI). The importance of position 4 is further demonstrated by the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of the 4-nitroindazole which was also a potent inhibitor of NOS activity. These compounds also exhibited in vivo NOS inhibitory activity, as attested by potent antinociceptive effects following systemic administration.
