- Catalyst- and acid-free Markovnikov hydration of alkynes in a sustainable H2O/ethyl lactate system
-
An efficient and sustainable protocol for the hydration of alkynes has been developed under metal/acid/catalyst/ligand-free conditions in a water/ethyl lactate mixture. The hydrogen-bond network in the ethyl lactate and water mixture plays a crucial and decisive role in activating the alkynes for hydration to afford the corresponding methyl ketones. This strategy gives the Markovnikov (ketone) addition product selectively over other possible products. The essential role of hydrogen bonding has been confirmed by experimental and theoretical techniques. A probable mechanism has been suggested by various control tests. The efficacy of the method has been further explored for the competent production of value-added α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds through the reaction of aldehydes with alkynes as ketonic surrogates. The environmentally benign hydration method takes place under mild conditions, has broad functional-group compatibility, and uses the ethyl lactate/water (1:3) medium as a “green alternative” in the absence of any hazardous, harmful, or expensive substances.

- Design, synthesis, and SAR study of novel 4,5-dihydropyrazole-Thiazole derivatives with anti-inflammatory activities for the treatment of sepsis
-
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome is a major feature of sepsis which is one of the major causes of death worldwide. It has been reported that 3,5-diaryl-4,5-dihydropyrazole and thiazole derivatives have many biological functions, especially in the aspect of anti-inflammation. According to the strategy of pharmacophore combination, we introduced thiazole moiety into dihydropyrazole skeleton to design and synthesize a novel series of 2-(3,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-methylthiazole derivatives, and evaluated their anti-inflammatory activities for sepsis treatment. Preliminary structure?activity relationship (SAR) analysis was conducted by their inhibitory activities against nitric oxide (NO) release in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, and the optimal compound E26 exhibited more potent anti-inflammatory activity than the positive control treatment indomethacin and dexamethasone. In further mechanism study, our results showed that compound E26 significantly suppressed the production of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), NO and inhibited the expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) through blocking MAPKs signaling pathway. In addition, in vivo administration of compound E26 resulted in a significant improvement of LPS-induced sepsis in C57BL/6J mice, with reducing toxicity in multiple organs. Taken together, this study demonstrated the compound E26 could be a promising agent for the treatment of sepsis.

- Synthesis, molecular docking and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity study of 2,4,6-triaryl pyrimidine derivatives
-
Background: α-Glucosidase inhibitors hinder the carbohydrate digestion and play an important role in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. α-glucosidase inhibitors available on the market are acarbose, miglitol, and voglibose. However, the use of acarbose is diminishing due to related side effects like diarrhea, bloating and abdominal distension. Objectives: This study aimed to synthesize 2,4,6-triaryl pyrimidines derivatives, screen their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, perform kinetic and molecular docking studies. Methods: A series of 2,4,6-triaryl pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was screened in vitro. Pyrimidine derivatives 4a-m were synthesized via a two-step reaction with a yield between 49 and 93%. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by different spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR and MS). The in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition activities of the synthesized compounds 4a-m was also evaluated against Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase. Results and Discussion: The majority of synthesized compounds had α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Particularly compounds 4b and 4g were the most active compounds with an IC50 value of 125.2± 7.2 and 139.8 ± 8.1 μM respectively. The kinetic study performed for the most active compound 4b revealed that the compound was a competitive inhibitor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase with Ki of 122 μM. The molecular docking study also revealed that the two compounds have important binding interactions with the enzyme active site. Conclusion: 2,4,6-triarylpyrimidine derivative 4a-m were synthesized and screened for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Most of the synthesized compounds possess α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and compound 4b demonstrated the most significant inhibitory action as compared to acarbose.

- Graphene-supported ZnO nanoparticles: An efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction without additional base
-
ZnO nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide (ZnO/RGO) were prepared by the hydrothermal method and characterized by TEM, XPS, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. As a green catalyst, ZnO/RGO was applied to the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction of aryl aldehydes and aryl ketones under microwave irradiation. Therein, chalcone products could be efficiently synthesized and easily separated from the heterogeneous catalysis system. The catalyst could be recycled four times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

- Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking study of 2-substituted-4, 6-diarylpyrimidines as α-glucosidase inhibitors
-
A novel series of 2-substituted-4, 6-diarylpyrimidines 6a-6t has been synthesized, characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HRMS, and screened for in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The majority of the screened compounds possessed significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 19.6 ± 0.21 to 38.9 ± 0.35 μM, which is more potent than the positive control α-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose (IC50 = 817.38 ± 6.27 μM). Among them, 6j was found to be the most active compound against α-glucosidase with an IC50 of 19.6 ± 0.21 μM. In addition, molecular docking studies were carried out to explore the binding interactions of 2-substituted-4, 6-diarylpyrimidine derivatives with α-glucosidase.

- A multicomponent pathway-inspired regioselective synthesis of 2,3,4-trisubstituted 1H-pyrroles via [3+2] cycloaddition reaction
-
A copper catalyzed regioselective synthesis of 2,3,4-trisubstituted 1H-pyrroles using a novel three-component coupled domino reaction of aldehydes, ketones and alkyl isocyanoacetates is reported. This transformation proceeds through the formation of a chalcone followed by a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction to obtain α-cuprioisocyanide, a cyclic organocopper intermediate, which on copper-hydrogen exchange followed by oxidation exclusively offers 2,3,4-trisubstituted 1H-pyrrole.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrazolyl-thiazolinone derivatives as potential EGFR and HER-2 kinase inhibitors
-
A series of pyrazolyl-thiazolinone derivatives (E1-E36) have been designed and synthesized and their biological activities were also evaluated as potential EGFR and HER-2 kinase inhibitors. Thirty-four of the 36 compounds were reported for the first time. Among them, compound 2-(5-(4-bromophenyl)-3-p-tolyl-4,5- dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazol-4(5H)-one (E28) displayed the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.24 μM for EGFR and IC50 = 1.07 μM for HER-2). Antiproliferative assay results indicated that compound E28 owned high antiproliferative activity against MCF-7, B16-F10 and HCT-116 in vitro, with IC50 value of 0.30, 0.54, and 0.70 μM, respectively. Docking simulation was further performed to position compound E28 into the EGFR active site to determine the probable binding model. Based on the preliminary results, compound E28 with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth would be a potential anticancer agent.
