- Visible-light induced copper(i)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of: O -aminobenzamides with methanol and ethanol via HAT
-
The use of the in situ generated ligand-copper superoxo complex absorbing light energy to activate the alpha C(sp3)-H of MeOH and EtOH via the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process for the synthesis of quinazolinones by oxidative cyclization of alcohols with o-aminobenzamide has been investigated. The synthetic utility of this protocol offers an efficient synthesis of a quinazolinone intermediate for erlotinb (anti-cancer agent) and 30 examples were reported.

- Metal-free C-H methylation and acetylation of heteroarenes with PEG-400
-
The generation of a methyl carbon source from renewable and cheap sources is challenging. Herein, we describe a novel and an efficient route for methylation and acetylation of aza-heteroarenes using PEG-400 under O2and TsOH·H2O for the first time by tuning the reaction conditions using a different set of starting materials. The key features of the current protocol are oxidative C-O and C-C bond scission under metal-free conditions with good functional group tolerance, and a broad substrate scope. The potential applicability of the designed methodology was demonstrated for the synthesis of central nervous system (CNS) depressant and anticonvulsant drug molecules by a one-pot strategy.

- Quinazolin-4-one derivatives as selective histone deacetylase-6 inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
-
Novel quinazolin-4-one derivatives containing a hydroxamic acid moiety were designed and synthesized. All compounds were subjected to histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymatic assays to identify selective HDAC6 inhibitors with nanomolar IC50 values. (E)-3-(2-Ethyl-7-fluoro-4-oxo-3-phenethyl-3,4- dihydroquinazolin-6-yl)-N-hydroxyacrylamide, 4b, is the most potent HDAC6 inhibitor (IC50, 8 nM). In vitro, these compounds induced neurite outgrowth accompanied by growth-associated protein 43 expression, and they enhanced the synaptic activities of PC12 and SH-SY5Y neuronal cells without producing toxic or mitogenic effects. Several of the compounds dramatically increased nonhistone protein acetylation, specifically of α-tubulin. Some of the more potent HDAC6 inhibitors decreased zinc-mediated β-amyloid aggregation in vitro. N-Hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-4-oxo-3-phenethyl-3,4-dihydro- quinazolin-7-yl)-acrylamide, 3f, the most promising drug candidate, selectively inhibits HDAC6 (IC50, 29 nM), practically does not affect human ether-a-go-go-related membrane channel activity (IC50 >10 μM) or cytochrome P450 activity (IC50 >6.5 μM) in vitro, and significantly improves learning-based performances of mice with β-amyloid-induced hippocampal lesions.
