- Evaluation of 4-phenylamino-substituted naphthalene-1,2-diones as tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
A series of 4-phenylamino-substituted naphthalene-1,2-dione derivatives were prepared and evaluated as effective antiproliferative agents. MTT assays showed that the compounds with a methyl group on the nitrogen linker exhibited potent antiproliferative activities against human cancer cells. The mechanistic study revealed that these compounds could induce mitochondrial depolarization, which resulted in intracellular ROS production, and they also acted as tubulin polymerization inhibitors. Moreover, the typical compound could arrest A549 cells in the G2/M phase, resulting in cellular apoptosis and induced mitotic arrest in A549 cells through disrupting microtubule dynamics.

- Formation of Phenyliodonio-Substituted Spirofurooxindole Trifluoroacetates from N-Substituted 3-Oxopentanediamides via Phenyliodine Bis(trifluoroacetate)-Mediated Oxidative Cascade Reactions
-
The reaction of N-substituted 3-oxopentanediamides with phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) was found to give a novel class of phenyliodonio-substituted spirofurooxindole trifluoroacetates under metal-free conditions. The reaction is postulated to proceed via a cascade process involving an oxidative C—O bond formation, an oxidative C—C bond formation and a final iodination step. (Figure presented.).

- AMINONITRILES AS KYNURENINE PATHWAY INHIBITORS
-
The present application provides novel kynurenine pathway inhibitors and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof. Also provided are methods for preparing these compounds. These compounds are useful in regulating the kynurenine pathway and the activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase and/or tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase by administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the compounds of formula (I) to a patient. By doing so, these compounds are effective in treating conditions associated with the dysregulation of the kynurenine pathway. A variety of conditions can be treated using these compounds and include diseases which are characterized by immunosuppression, abnormal cellular proliferation and/or inflammation. In one embodiment, the disease is cancer. In another embodiment, the disease is a viral infection. In a further embodiment, the disease is depression.

- Synthesis and cytotoxicity studies of quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives
-
A series of quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their cytotoxicity in vitro against four cancer cell lines (A549, HT-29, MDA-MB-231 and SMMC-7721) were evaluated by standard MTT assay. The pharmacological results showed that most of the prepared compounds displayed excellent selective cytotoxicity toward SMMC-7721 cell line. Among them, compounds 7c, 7e, 11b, 11f and 11g were more active than Gefitinb against SMMC-7721 cell line.
