Myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD2) is an essential molecule which recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS), leading to initiation of inflammation through the activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) from propolis of honeybee hives could interfere interactions between LPS and the TLR4/MD2 complex, and thereby has promising anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we designed and synthesized 48 CAPE derivatives and evaluated their anti-inflammatory activities in mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) activated by LPS. The most active compound, 10s, was found to bind with MD2 with high affinity, which prevented formation of the LPS/MD2/TLR4 complex. The binding mode of 10s revealed that the major interactions with MD2 were established via two key hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Furthermore, 10s showed remarkable protective effects against LPS-caused ALI (acute lung injury) in vivo. Taken together, this work provides new lead structures and candidates as MD2 inhibitors for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs.

A novel copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative C(NOH)-C(alkyl) bond cleavage reaction of aryl/aralkyl/vinyl ketones for the synthesis of aromatic/acrylic acids is described. A series of ketones having aryl/aralkyl/vinyl at the one end and methyl to any higher alkyl at the other end can be selectively cleaved and converted into the corresponding acids via oxime intermediates.

Several cinnamic acid esters were obtained via Fischer esterification of cinnamic acids derivatives with aliphatic alcohols. Structures of the products were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for antileishmanial activity against L. (V) panamensis amastigotes and cytotoxic activity was evaluated against mammalian U-937 cells. The compounds 11, 15-17, and 23, were active against Leishmania parasite and although toxic for mammalian cells, they still are potential candidates for antileishmanial drug development. A SAR analysis indicates that first, while smaller alkyl chains lead to higher selectivity indices (10, 11 vs. 12-17); second, the degree of oxygenation is essential for activity, primarily in positions 3 and 4 (17 vs. 18-20 and 22); and third, hydroxyl groups increase both activity and cytotoxicity (14 vs. 23). On the other hand, the presence of a double bond in the side chain is crucial for cytotoxicity and leishmanicidal activity (12 vs. 21). However, further studies are required to optimize the structure of the promising molecules and to validate the in vitro activity against Leishmania demonstrated here with in vivo studies.
Elucidation of a structural basis for the inhibitor-driven, p62 (SQSTM1)-dependent intracellular redistribution of cAMP phosphodiesterase-4A4 (PDE4A4)

Figure Presented. A survey of PDE4 inhibitors reveals that some compounds trigger intracellular aggregation of PDE4A4 into accretion foci through association with the ubiquitin-binding scaffold protein p62 (SQSTM1). We show that this effect is driven by i
Competitive formation of β-amino acids, propenoic, and ylidenemalonic acids by the Rodionov reaction from malonic acid, aldehydes, and ammonium acetate in alcoholic medium

The Rodionov reaction of 49 available aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with malonic acid and ammonium acetate in alcoholic medium, resulting in formation of β-amino acids, propenoic, and ylidenemalonic acids, was studied. Certain regioselectivity regularities of the reaction were revealed. Among the variety of ketones studied, cyclohexanone is the only whose reaction yields a β-amino acid. Unusual dehydrofluorination of 6-chloro-2-fluorocinnamic acid under the Rodionov reaction was discovered. 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
Design and synthesis of low molecular weight compounds with complement inhibition activity
Master, Hoshang E.,Khan, Shabana I.,Poojari, Krishna A.
, p. 4891 - 4899 (2007/10/03)
An attempt was made to synthesize a series of non-cytotoxic low molecular weight compounds of varying substitutions and functionalities having pharmacophore activity like carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acid and bioisosteres like tetrazole and phenyl acrylic acid. The in vitro assay of these analogues for the inhibition of complement activity revealed significant inhibitory activity for varying substituents and, particularly, for bioisosteres, that is, tetrazole and phenyl acrylic acid derivatives.

Application of ultrasound has been found to greatly assist the Knoevenagel aldol condensation reaction of activated methylenes with aromatic aldehydes under mild conditions. The outcome of the ultrasound-promoted reaction depends upon the electronic nature of the aromatic aldehyde, the solvent employed and the addition of acids, bases or ammonium salts.

This study was performed to explain a regiospecific demethylation of 3-alkyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzenes.PRDDO-MO calculations show that the low-energy conformation of the carbon of a methoxy group having two ortho neighbors on a benzene ring is located out of the plane of the aromatic ring, whereas a methoxy group with only one ortho neighbor executes restricted rotation in the plane of the ring.The carbon portion of the methoxy group is turned away from the neighboring substituent.These calculations also show that the atomic charge on the oxygen atom in the former caseexceeds that in the latter.The carbon of a methoxy group with two ortho neighbors yields 13C NMR T1 relaxation times longer than those with only one ortho neighbor, also suggesting that the methoxy group with two ortho neighbors is crowded out of the plane of the aromatic ring. 13C NMR chemical shifts of these ortho-substituted methoxybenzenes did not correlate well with shifts predicted from published additive parameters; this again suggests an unusual methoxy group orientation and distribution of electrons.The forced rotation of a methoxy group out of the plane of the benzene ring diminishes the release of electrons from the methoxy group to the benzene ring.The resulting higher atomic charge on the oxygen and the orientation of the oxygen orbitals facilitate complexation with Lewis acids and methoxy group cleavage.
Substituent Effects in the Reaction of t-Butylmagnesium Chloride with Substituted Ethyl Cinnamates. A Correlation with 13C NMR Chemical Shifts
Jalander, Lars
, p. 419 - 428 (2007/10/02)
The reaction of t-butylmagnesium chloride with some substituted ethyl (E)-cinnamates gave mainly 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,2- and 1,4-addition products and minor amounts of 1,2- and 1,3-addition products.The relative amounts of 1,3-addition products has been shown to correlate with 13C NMR chemical shifts of C-α of the ethyl cinnamates.The correlation indicates that the regio selectivity of the reactions is to a great extent dependent of polar effects and that the t-butyl radical has a nucleophilic character.
