- Enhanced cytotoxicity of indenyl molybdenum(ii) compounds bearing a thiophene function
-
A series of six indenyl molybdenum compounds bearing a thiophenyl function in the side chain were prepared and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. The structures of [(η5-C9H6CH2C4H3S)(η3-C3H5)Mo(CO)2] and [(η5-C9H6CH2C4H3S)Mo(CO)2(bpy)][BF4] were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds bearing N,N-chelating ligands exhibit increased cytotoxic activity against human leukemia cell lines MOLT-4; up to two orders of magnitude lower IC50 values were observed compared to analogues with unsubstituted indenyl, which clearly demonstrates the strong effect of the indenyl ligand modification on the biological activity of the molybdenum(ii) compounds. The highest cytostatic potential was observed for the complex bearing 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthtoline [(η5-C9H6CH2C4H3S)Mo(CO)2(Ph2phen)][BF4] with IC50 (MOLT-4) = 0.19 ± 0.02 μM. Detailed regulation of the molecular and cellular mechanism by this derivative was investigated on the lung carcinoma cell line A549 and compared with the lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5. Rather unusual differences in the effects on tumor and non-tumor cell lines provide a unique insight into the cytostatic action of molybdenum(ii) complexes.

- Diethyl(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate: A novel multifunctional electrolyte additive for high voltage batteries
-
Carbonate-based electrolytes used in Li-ion batteries encounter various challenges in extreme electrochemical environments, and hence their application requires various additives, especially when used with high voltage cathode materials. These additives are designed to form protective interphases that prevent parasitic carbonate oxidation, while in certain cases they stabilize electrolytes from reduction at anode surfaces or even serve as flame-retardants that postpone the thermal runaway during overcharge. However, most of these additives casts negative effects, lowering ionic conductivity of electrolyte or impairing the compatibility between cathode and electrolyte. An ideal solution of minimizing the presence of these inert molecules is to identify an additive that structurally integrates these multiple functions into a single compound. In this work, we report a novel additive, diethyl(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate (DTYP). Its 0.5% presence in a base electrolyte dramatically improves the capacity retention of a high voltage Li-ion cell using LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 from 18% to 85% after 280 cycles at 1C at 60 °C, increases the endothermic reaction onset temperature from 193 °C to 223 °C, and reduces the self-extinguishing time of the electrolyte from 88 s to 77 s. Thus, such a multifunctional additive presents a cost-efficient solution to the issues often faced in high voltage lithium-ion batteries.

- Structure-guided optimization of 1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives affording potent VIM-Type metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors
-
Production of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) in bacterial pathogens is an important cause of resistance to the ‘last-resort’ carbapenem antibiotics. Development of effective MBL inhibitors to reverse carbapenem resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is still needed. We herein report X-ray structure-guided optimization of 1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (ICA) derivatives by considering how to engage with the active-site flexible loops and improve penetration into Gram-negative bacteria. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed the importance of appropriate substituents at ICA 1-position to achieve potent inhibition to class B1 MBLs, particularly the Verona Integron-encoded MBLs (VIMs), mainly by involving ingenious interactions with the flexible active site loops as observed by crystallographic analyses. Of the tested ICA inhibitors, 55 displayed potent synergistic antibacterial activity with meropenem against engineered Escherichia coli strains and even intractable clinically isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing VIM-2 MBL. The morphologic and internal structural changes of bacterial cells after treatment further demonstrated that 55 crossed the outer membrane and reversed the activity of meropenem. Moreover, 55 showed good pharmacokinetic and safety profile in vivo, which could be a potential candidate for combating VIM-mediated Gram-negative carbapenem resistance.

- Method for continuously synthesizing 2-chloromethylthiophene by using micro-channel reactor
-
The invention discloses a method for continuously synthesizing 2-chloromethylthiophene by using a micro-channel reactor. The micro-channel reactor comprises a premixing temperature control module and a reaction module, the premixing temperature control module and the reaction module are connected in series, and each of the premixing temperature control module and the reaction module is formed by connecting more than two units in series through reaction. The invention relates to the technical field of organic compound preparation. According to the method for continuously synthesizing 2-chloromethylthiophene by using a micro-channel reactor, one-step synthesis can be realized, the operation is simple, the production process is simplified, and the reaction time is about 60 seconds. The reaction time of a traditional kettle type reactor is more than 4 hours, the reaction temperature is about 20 DEG C, and the traditional kettle type reactor needs a low-temperature reaction (about -10 DEG C). The yield of the produced 2-chloromethylthiophene reaches about 80%, the selectivity reaches about 90%, by-products are reduced, the amount of three wastes is small, and the mass transfer and heat transfer performances of the reaction are enhanced.

- Structure–Activity Studies of 3,9-Diazaspiro[5.5]undecane-Based γ-Aminobutyric Acid Type A Receptor Antagonists with Immunomodulatory Effect
-
The 3,9-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane-based compounds 2027 and 018 have previously been reported to be potent competitive γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR) antagonists showing low cellular membrane permeability. Given the emerging peripheral application of GABAAR ligands, we hypothesize 2027 analogs as promising lead structures for peripheral GABAAR inhibition. We herein report a study on the structural determinants of 2027 in order to suggest a potential binding mode as a basis for rational design. The study identified the importance of the spirocyclic benzamide, compensating for the conventional acidic moiety, for GABAAR ligands. The structurally simplified m-methylphenyl analog 1e displayed binding affinity in the high-nanomolar range (Ki = 180 nM) and was superior to 2027 and 018 regarding selectivity for the extrasynaptic α4βδ subtype versus the α1- and α2- containing subtypes. Importantly, 1e was shown to efficiently rescue inhibition of T cell proliferation, providing a platform to explore the immunomodulatory potential for this class of compounds.

- Novel M2-selective, Gi-biased agonists of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
-
Background and Purpose: More than 30% of currently marketed medications act via GPCRs. Thus, GPCRs represent one of the most important pharmacotherapeutic targets. In contrast to traditional agonists activating multiple signalling pathways, agonists activating a single signalling pathway represent a new generation of drugs with increased specificity and fewer adverse effects. Experimental Approach: We have synthesized novel agonists of muscarinic ACh receptors and tested their binding and function (on levels of cAMP and inositol phosphates) in CHO cells expressing individual subtypes of muscarinic receptors, primary cultures of rat aortic smooth muscle cells and suspensions of digested native tissues from rats. Binding of the novel compounds to M2 receptors was modelled in silico. Key Results: Two of the tested new compounds (1-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridinium and 1-methyl-1-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridinium) only inhibited cAMP synthesis in CHO cells, primary cultures, and native tissues, with selectivity for M2 muscarinic receptors and displaying bias towards the Gi signalling pathway at all subtypes of muscarinic receptors. Molecular modelling revealed interactions with the orthosteric binding site in a way specific for a given agonist followed by agonist-specific changes in the conformation of the receptor. Conclusions and Implications: The identified compounds may serve as lead structures in the search for novel non-steroidal and non-opioid analgesics acting via M2 and M4 muscarinic receptors with reduced side effects associated with activation of the phospholipase C signalling pathway.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation Reaction to Access 1,2,3-Triazole-5-carboxamides Using Dimethyl Carbonate as Sustainable Solvent
-
A simple and direct palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles backbone for the incorporation of an amide functional group is presented. The approach is based on the palladium catalyzed carbonylative coupling reaction of iodo-triazole with different amines employing formic acid and sulfuric acid as CO source (Morgan's reaction) to provide the 1,2,3-triazole-5-carboxamides in good to excellent yields. The important features of this methodology include short reaction time, high yields, the use of dimethyl carbonate as a sustainable solvent, and the use of efficient alternative source of carbon monoxide, avoiding pressurized cylinder. The methodology described herein for the synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazole-5-carboxamides, can offers an alternative path for functionalization of other heterocycles.

- Smart PET based organic scaffold exhibiting bright “Turn–On” green fluorescence to detect Fe3+ ion: Live cell imaging and logic implication
-
An efficient and simple photoinduced electron transfer (PET) based fluorescence turn–On probe 7 has been designed and synthesized by bridging naphthalimide and thiophene moieties through a piperazine unit. The photophysical behavior of probe and its affinity toward different metal ions have been investigated in partial aqueous medium, protein medium and live cells. The probe exhibited fluorescence “turn-On” response for Fe3+ ion with high sensitivity (limit of detection 0.373 μM) and selectively along with naked-eye sensitive visible green color in the medium. The significant change in photophysical behavior of the probe, upon a complexation between probe and Fe3+ is attributed to restriction in PET process. The probe 7 showed excellent biocompatibility and has been utilized in cellular imaging experiment to detect Fe3+ in MCF-7 live cells. Also, at molecular level probe 7 mimics the functions of a sequential logic circuit, corresponding to a memory device in which the two inputs (Fe3+ and AcO?) based sequential logic operations mimic the function of a memory element.

The construction of different types of substituted arenes was demonstrated through the photocyclization of 2-(fur-3-yl)ethenylarenes using a 3-furyl group as an isopropenyl equivalent synthon in the photocyclization reaction. The furan portion of the photocyclization intermediate could be fragmented via a base-induced elimination reaction to yield a series of substituted polyaromatics, including naphthalene, benzofuran, benzothiophene, phenanthrene, phenalene, acenaphthene, and triphenylene. Using different reagents, this method made it possible to introduce methyl or 2-hydroxyethyl groups as substituents at specific positions in these arenes.

- From ynamides to highly substituted benzo[b]furans: Gold(I)-catalyzed 5-endo-dig-cyclization/rearrangement of alkylic oxonium intermediates
-
A series of arylynamides with alkyloxy groups at the ortho position of the aryl group was prepared through a short alkylation/cross-coupling/amidation sequence. The gold-catalyzed conversion of these substrates combined both C-O and C-C formation steps, thus providing benzofurans with amine functionalities at the 2-position and alkyl groups at the 3-position. Cross-over experiments showed that the alkyl-migration step was an intermolecular process. X-ray crystal-structure analysis of two of the products supported our structural assignment. In some cases, the corresponding benzofurans without the alkyl group at the 3-position were obtained as side-products, which were formed through a competing protodeauration process. Golden touch: Arylynamides with o-alkyloxy groups were prepared through an alkylation/cross-coupling/amidation sequence. Their Au-catalyzed conversion provided benzofurans with amine groups at the 2-position and alkyl groups at the 3-position. Copyright

- Identification and quantification of defect structures in poly(2,5-thienylene vinylene) derivatives prepared via the dithiocarbamate precursor route by means of NMR spectroscopy on 13C-labeled polymers
-
During the past decades several synthetic routes toward the low band gap polymer poly(2,5-thienylene vinylene) (PTV) and derivatives have been studied. This study describes an extensive NMR characterization of 13C-labeled 3-octyl-PTV and its precursor polymer prepared via the dithiocarbamate route which is, since stable monomers are available, a promising route toward PTV derivatives. By introducing 13C-labeled vinylene carbons, we were able to characterize these polymers in a quantitative way, taking the end groups and structural polymerization defects, which disturb the conjugated system, into account. Several NMR techniques and the synthesis of model compounds were used to fully assign the proton and carbon chemical shifts. Moreover, the classically used thermal conversion of the precursor toward the conjugated polymer has been compared to a smoother, acid-induced elimination procedure.

- TEMPO/HCl/NaNO2 catalyst: A transition-metal-free approach to efficient aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones under mild conditions
-
Hydrochloric acid, a very inexpensive and readily available inorganic acid, has been found to cooperate exquisitely with NaNO2/TEMPO in catalyzing the molecular-oxygen-driven oxidation of a broad range of alcohol substrates to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones. This transition-metal- free catalytic oxidative conversion is novel and represents an interesting alternative route to the corresponding carbonyl compounds to the metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols.The reaction is highly selective with respect to the desired product when carried out at room temperature in air at atmospheric pressure. Notably, the use of very inexpensive NaNO2 and HCl in combination with TEMPO for this highly selective aerobic oxidation of alcohols in air at ambient temperaturemakes the reaction operationally and economically very attractive. The results of mechanistic studies, performed with the aid of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), are presented and discussed. TEMPO, TEMPOH, and TEMPO+ were observed in the redox cycle by means of ESI-MS. On the basis of these observations, a mechanism is proposed that may provide an insight into the newly developed aerobic alcohol oxidation.

- Synthesis and photovoltaic properties of two-dimensional conjugated polythiophenes with bi(thienylenevinylene) side chains
-
Three two-dimensional (2-D) conjugated polythiophenes with bi(thienylenevinylene) side chains (biTV-PTs), P1, P2, and P3, were designed and synthesized for application in polymer solar cells. The absorption spectral, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties of the biTV-PTs were investigated and compared with those of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). The biTV-PTs show a broad absorption band from 350 to 650 nm; especially, the absorption spectrum of P3 displays a broad plateau and much stronger absorbance than that of P3HT in the wavelength range from 350 to 480 nm. Cyclic voltammograms reveal that the onset oxidation and reduction potentials of the biTV-PTs positively shifted by ca. 0.2 V in comparison with those of P3HT, indicating that the HOMO energy level of the biTV-PTs is ca. 0.2 eV lower than that of P3HT. Polymer solar cells (PSCs) were fabricated based on the blend of the polymers and 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)propyl-1-phenyl-[6,6]-C-61 (PCBM) with a weight ratio of 1:1. The open circuit voltage of the PSCs based on the biTV-PTs is ca. 0.1 V higher than that of P3HT, which is benefited from the lower HOMO levels of the biTV-PTs. The maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the PSCs based on P3 reached 3.18% under AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm2, which is 38% increased in comparison with that (2.41%) of the devices based on P3HT under the same experimental conditions. The results indicate that the 2-D conjugated biTV-PTs are promising polymer photovoltaic materials.

- The interaction of heteroaryl-acrylates and alanines with phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from parsley
-
Acrylic acids and alanines substituted with heteroaryl groups at the β-position were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized (UV, HRMS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy). The heteroaryl groups were furanyl, thiophenyl, benzofuranyl, and benzothiophenyl and contained the alanyl side chains either at the 2- or 3-positions. While the former are good substrates for phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), the latter compounds are inhibitors. Exceptions are thiophen-3-yl-alanine, a moderate substrate and furan-3-yl-alanine, which is inert. Possible reasons for these exceptions are discussed. Starting from racemic het eroaryl-2-alanines their D-enantiomers were prepared by using a stereodestructive procedure. From the heteroaryl-2- acrylates, the L-enantiomers of the heteroaryl-2-alanines were prepared at high ammonia concentration. These results can be best explained by a Friedel - Crafts-type electrophilic attack at the aromatic part of the substrates as the initial step of the PAL reaction.

- Structure-activity relationships at monoamine transporters for a series of N-substituted 3α-(bis[4-fluorophenyl]methoxy)tropanes: Comparative molecular field analysis, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation
-
The development of structure-activity relationships (SAR) with divergent classes of monoamine transporter ligands and comparison of their effects in animal models of cocaine abuse have provided insight into the complex relationship among structure, binding profiles, and behavioral activity. Many 3α-(diphenylmethoxy)tropane (benztropine) analogues are potent dopamine uptake inhibitors but exhibit behavioral profiles that differ from those of cocaine and other compounds in this class. One of the most potent and dopamine transporter (DAT) selective N-substituted benztropine analogues (N-(4-phenyl-n-butyl)-3α-(bis[4-fluorophenyl]methoxy)tropane, 1c) is devoid of cocaine-like behaviors in rodent models but is also highly lipophilic (cLogD = 5.01), which compromises its water solubility and may adversely affect its pharmacokinetic properties. To further explore the SAR in this series and ultimately to design dopamine uptake inhibitors with favorable lipophilicities for drug development, a comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was performed on a set of benztropine analogues previously synthesized in our laboratory. The CoMFA field analysis on the statistically significant (r 2cv = 0.632; r2ncv = 0.917) models provided valuable insight into the structural features required for optimal binding to the DAT, which was used to design a series of novel benztropine analogues with heteroatom substitutions at the tropane N-8. These compounds were evaluated for binding at DAT, serotonin (SERT) and norepinephrine (NET) transporters, and muscarinic M1 receptors in rat brain. Inhibition of [ 3H]DA uptake in synaptosomes was also evaluated. Most of the analogues showed high DAT affinity (12-50 nM), selectivity (10- to 120-fold), potent inhibition of dopamine uptake, and lower lipophilicities as predicted by cLogD values.

- Microbial deracemization of α-substituted carboxylic acids: Control of the reaction path
-
A novel approach to preparing optically active α-substituted carboxylic acids using the whole cells of Nocardia diaphanozonaria JCM 3208 is described. When 2-phenylthiopropanoic acid and 2-methyl-3-phenylpropanoic acid were subjected to the reaction under aerobic conditions, the oxidation reaction proceeded preferentially rather than deracemization of these substrates. Herein, we report the design of reaction conditions to increase the deracemization activity in preference to oxidation reactions. In addition, we have successfully detected a metabolic intermediate in the reaction mixture of 2-methyl-3-phenylpropanoic acid, which indicates that the deracemization is a competitive reaction against the α-oxidation pathway of fatty acid metabolism.

- A convenient synthesis by microwave heating and pharmacological evaluation of novel benzoyltriazole and saccharine derivatives as 5-HT1A receptor ligands
-
A series of novel 1,2,3-4-benzoyltriazole and saccharine derivatives were designed and synthesized by microwave heating. They were evaluated on a battery of receptors, including serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C, and the most interesting compounds were further evaluated on dopaminergic D1, D2 and adrenergic α1, α2 receptors. Conventional and microwave heating of the reactions were compared. Synthesis by microwave heating gave the desired compounds in better yields than those obtained by conventional heating. The overall times for the syntheses were considerably reduced. All compounds displayed moderate affinity for 5-HT1A receptor. The most interesting compound 33 showed a high affinity (Ki=93 nM) which was combined with no affinity on the other receptors considered.

- Synthesis by microwave irradiation and binding properties of novel 5-HT1A receptor ligands
-
This work reports the synthesis by microwave irradiation and the binding tests on the 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors of new substituted piperazines in order to identify selective ligands for 5-HT1A subtype receptor. Conventional heating and microwave irradiation of the reactions was compared. Synthesis by microwave irradiation gave the desired compounds in better yields than those obtained by conventional heating. The overall times for the syntheses were considerably reduced. Some resulting active compounds (29 and 39) were characterised by a good selectivity profile for the 5-HT1A subtype receptor. The more active compounds were selected and further evaluated for their binding affinities on D1, D2 dopaminergic and α1, α2 adrenergic receptors. The compound with higher affinity and selectivity for the 5-HT1A over all the considered receptors was the 3-{4-[4-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl)-1-piperazinyl]butan}-benzotriazinone (-)29 (5-HT1A Ki=36 nM, other receptors not active).
