- Photo-on-Demand Synthesis of Vilsmeier Reagents with Chloroform and Their Applications to One-Pot Organic Syntheses
-
The Vilsmeier reagent (VR), first reported a century ago, is a versatile reagent in a variety of organic reactions. It is used extensively in formylation reactions. However, the synthesis of VR generally requires highly toxic and corrosive reagents such as POCl3, SOCl2, or COCl2. In this study, we found that VR is readily obtained from a CHCl3 solution containing N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide upon photo-irradiation under O2 bubbling. The corresponding Vilsmeier reagents were obtained in high yields with the generation of gaseous HCl and CO2 as byproducts to allow their isolations as crystalline solid products amenable to analysis by X-ray crystallography. With the advantage of using CHCl3, which bifunctionally serves as a reactant and a solvent, this photo-on-demand VR synthesis is available for one-pot syntheses of aldehydes, acid chlorides, formates, ketones, esters, and amides.

- Rhodium(III)-catalyzed chemodivergent annulations between phenyloxazoles and diazos via C–H activation
-
Acid-controlled, chemodivergent and redox-neutral annulations for the synthesis of isocoumarins and isoquinolinones have been realized via Rh(III)-catalyzed C[sbnd]H activation. Diazo compounds act as a carbene precursor, and coupling occurs in one-pot process, where adipic acid and trimethylacetic acid promote chemodivergent cyclizations.

- Synthesis, experimental and theoretical study of novel 2-haloalkyl (-CF2H, -CCl2H, -CF2CF3)-, 3-bromo and bromomethyl substituted chromones
-
A set of seven new chromones with 2-haloalkyl (-CF2H, -CCl2H, -CF2CF3) and 3-bromo and bromomethyl substituents were synthesized. The novel compounds were studied by DFT calculations and characterized by vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman) in solid state, and NMR (1H, 13C and 19F) and UV–vis spectroscopy in solution. The crystal structure of 3-dibromomethyl-2-difluoromethyl chromone was determined by X-ray diffraction. Due to extended π-bond delocalization, the organic framework is planar and lies on a crystallographic m-mirror plane. The intermolecular non-covalent interactions of 3-dibromomethyl-2-difluoromethyl chromone, as π?π stacking arrangements, F?H hydrogen bonds and O?Br contacts were evaluated by Hirshfeld surfaces analysis. These intermolecular contacts, which affect the absorption bands location of the involved groups, were also detected in the vibrational spectra.

- Electrodimerization ofN-Alkoxyamides for the Synthesis of Hydrazines
-
An efficient and valuable N-N dimerization reaction ofN-alkoxyamides is reported under undivided electrolytic conditions. This electrochemical strategy provides a powerful way to access a wide range of advanced, highly functionalized hydrazines. Remarkably, anN-centered radical generated from the cleavage of the N-H bond under electrolytic conditions plays a crucial role in this transformation. Furthermore, variousN-alkoxyamides bearing different substituents are suitable in this transformation, furnishing the corresponding hydrazines in up to 92% yield.

- Neutrophil-Selective Fluorescent Probe Development through Metabolism-Oriented Live-Cell Distinction
-
Human neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes and have been considered as the first line of defence in the innate immune system. Selective imaging of live neutrophils will facilitate the in situ study of neutrophils in infection or inflammation events as well as clinical diagnosis. However, small-molecule-based probes for the discrimination of live neutrophils among different granulocytes in human blood have yet to be reported. Herein, we report the first fluorescent probe NeutropG for the specific distinction and imaging of active neutrophils. The selective staining mechanism of NeutropG is elucidated as metabolism-oriented live-cell distinction (MOLD) through lipid droplet biogenesis with the help of ACSL and DGAT. Finally, NeutropG is applied to accurately quantify neutrophil levels in fresh blood samples by showing a high correlation with the current clinical method.

- Synthesis of N-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acids
-
Found in biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, amide-containing molecules are ubiquitous in nature, and their derivatization represents a significant methodological goal in fluorine chemistry. Trifluoromethyl amides have emerged as important functional groups frequently found in pharmaceutical compounds. To date, there is no strategy for synthesizing N-trifluoromethyl amides from abundant organic carboxylic acid derivatives, which are ideal starting materials in amide synthesis. Here, we report the synthesis of N-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acid halides and esters under mild conditions via isothiocyanates in the presence of silver fluoride at room temperature. Through this strategy, isothiocyanates are desulfurized with AgF, and then the formed derivative is acylated to afford N-trifluoromethyl amides, including previously inaccessible structures. This method shows broad scope, provides a platform for rapidly generating N-trifluoromethyl amides by virtue of the diversity and availability of both reaction partners, and should find application in the modification of advanced intermediates.

The 2-(neopentylsulfinyl)aniline directing group that promotes rapid palladium-catalyzed C–H acetoxylation and alkenylation of arylacetamides has been developed. The acetoxylation reaches completion within only 40 min at 100 °C and leads to the bis-functionalized products. Alternatively, the reaction can be carried out at room temperature, which is beneficial for sensitive substrates. For the alkenylation, we have developed a protocol in which easily available 1-substituted cyclopropanols were employed as equivalents of vinyl ketones.

A strategically novel synthetic method for the fluoroarylation of allenic ester was developed that enables the expedient construction of a host of β-fluoroalkyl-containing cinnamate derivatives. The reaction proceeds through visible-light-promoted gold redox catalysis, occurs smoothly under very mild reaction conditions, accommodates a large variety of functional groups, and more importantly allows the incorporation of fluorine and aryl groups with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. The concomitant activation mode for both the allene motif and the hydrogen fluoride is key for the success of the reaction.

We report the first electrochemical strategy to synthesize functionalized naphthalene derivatives through [4+2] annulation—rearrangement–aromatization from styrenes under mild conditions. The electrolysis does not require metals, oxidants and high valence substrates, indicating the atom and step-economy ideals. The dehydrodimer produced through [4+2] cycloaddition of 4-methoxy α-methyl styrene is isolated and proved to be the key intermediate for the following oxydehydrogenation to form carbon cation, which undergoes rearrangement–aromatization to afford the final products. This reaction represents a powerful access to construct multi-substituted naphthalene blocks in a single step.

Palladium-catalyzed arylation of unactivated β-C(sp3)-H bonds in carboxylic acid derivatives with aryl iodides is described for the first time using 2-amino-5,6-difluorophenyl-1H-pyrazole as an efficient and readily removable directing group. Two fluoro groups are installed at the 5- and 6-position of the anilino moiety in 2-aminophenyl-1H-pyrazole, clearly enhancing the directing ability of the auxiliary. In addition, the protocol employs Cu(OAc)2/Ag3PO4 (1.2/0.3) as additives, evidently reducing the stoichiometric amount of expensive silver salts. Furthermore, this process exhibits high β-site selectivity, compatibility with diverse substrates containing α-hydrogen atoms, and excellent functional group tolerance.

- Structure-Based Design of Selective, Covalent G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 5 Inhibitors
-
The ability of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) to regulate desensitization of GPCRs has made GRK2 and GRK5 attractive targets for treating heart failure and other diseases such as cancer. Although advances have been made toward developing inhibitors that are selective for GRK2, there have been far fewer reports of GRK5 selective compounds. Herein, we describe the development of GRK5 subfamily selective inhibitors, 5 and 16d that covalently interact with a nonconserved cysteine (Cys474) unique to this subfamily. Compounds 5 and 16d feature a highly amenable pyrrolopyrimidine scaffold that affords high nanomolar to low micromolar activity that can be easily modified with Michael acceptors with various reactivities and geometries. Our work thereby establishes a new pathway toward further development of subfamily selective GRK inhibitors and establishes Cys474 as a new and useful covalent handle in GRK5 drug discovery.

- Orally Available Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase/Phosphodiesterase 4 Dual Inhibitor Treats Inflammatory Pain
-
Inspired by previously discovered enhanced analgesic efficacy between soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors, we designed, synthesized and characterized 21 novel sEH/PDE4 dual inhibitors. The best of these displayed good efficacy in in vitro assays. Further pharmacokinetic studies of a subset of four selected compounds led to the identification of a bioavailable dual inhibitor N-(4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1-propionylpiperidine-4-carboxamide (MPPA). In a lipopolysaccharide induced inflammatory pain rat model, MPPA rapidly increased in the blood (Tmax = 30 min; Cmax = 460 nM) after oral administration of 3 mg/kg and reduced inflammatory pain with rapid onset of action correlating with blood levels over a time course of 4 h. Additionally, MPPA does not alter self-motivated exploration of rats with inflammatory pain or the withdrawal latency in control rats.

In continuation of our endeavours to synthesize immunosuppressive agents from α-santonin, we report herein the design and synthesis of a new series of α-santonin derived O-aryl/aliphatic ether, ester and amide analogs and the evaluation of their immunosuppressive activities. The in vitro studies led to several analogs with significant immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting ConA and LPS stimulated T- and B-cell proliferation in a dose dependent manner. The more significant compounds 4d, 4e, 4f, 4h, 6a and 6b displayed potent inhibitory activity on the mitogen-induced T- and B-cell proliferation in comparison to α-santonin 1. Compound 4e displayed stupendous in vitro immunosuppressive effects with ~80% suppression of B and ~75% suppression of T lymphocyte proliferation, respectively. The in vivo investigation on BALB/c mice revealed that non-cytotoxic compound 4e suppresses both humoral and cellular immunity.

- Novel inhibitors of tyrosinase produced by the 4-substitution of TCT (П)
-
Novel Tyrosinase Inhibitors of 4-functionalized Thiophene-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (TCT) derivatives (1–8) had been synthesized and Spectrofluorimetry, 1H and 13C NMR titration and Molecular docking had been used to investigate their inhibitory activities and mechanisms on tyrosinase. The results showed that the inter-molecular interactions or hydrogen bond formation by increasing length of carbon chain or introducing benzene ring to the 4-functionalized ester group promoted or stabilized formation of complexes between modifier and tyrosinase, and enhanced the inhibitory activity of modifiers. The inhibitory activity of 4-benzoy methoxy-TCT was much stronger than that of any other synthesized tested modifiers, which was well explained by molecular docking and further verified by spectrofluorimetry and NMR titration by assuming that there existed an inter-molecular interaction besides formation of hydrogen bonds between the amino acid residues ASN260, GLU256, HIS85 of enzyme and the modifier.We concluded that 4-benzoy methoxy substitution of TCT was a good route obtaining novel tyrosinase inhibitors and deserved further studies.

- Terpene Cyclizations inside a Supramolecular Catalyst: Leaving-Group-Controlled Product Selectivity and Mechanistic Studies
-
The tail-to-head terpene cyclization is arguably one of the most complex reactions found in nature. The hydrogen-bond-based resorcinarene capsule represents the first man-made enzyme-like catalyst that is capable of catalyzing this reaction. Based on noncovalent interactions between the capsule and the substrate, the product selectivity can be tuned by using different leaving groups. A detailed mechanistic investigation was performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism. For the cyclization of geranyl acetate, it was found that the cleavage of the leaving group is the rate-determining step. Furthermore, the studies revealed that trace amounts of acid are required as cocatalyst. A series of control experiments demonstrate that a synergistic interplay between the supramolecular capsule and the acid traces is required for catalytic activity.

- Synthesis and Anti-Staphylococcal Activity of 2,4-Disubstituted Diphenylamines
-
Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus are ubiquitous and life threatening. Evolution of resistant strains has necessitated the need to continuously discover new drugs to combat such organisms. Diphenyl ethers, such as triclosan, have recently shown potential as antibacterial agents. In this study, a series of diphenyl amines were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida) bacteria. Preliminary results showed that six of the twelve synthesized molecules were active against Staphylococcus aureus. Most notable amongst them were compounds 2(2,4-dinitrophenylamino) phenol and 2(2-dinitrophenylamino)phenol having minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in the range of 7.8-15.6 μg mL-1 and 7.8-62.5 μg mL-1 respectively for all the eight selected organisms. Five active compounds from the preliminary results were further screened against resistant S. aureus cultures where compounds 2(2,4-dinitrophenylamino)phenol, 2(2-dinitrophenylamino)phenol and 2-chloro-N-(2-(2,4-dichlorophenylamino)phenyl)acetamide gave encouraging results having MIC in the range 3.9-7.8 μg mL-1 for most of the organisms. Results obtained above for the selected organisms and the resistant S. aureus strains conclude that hydroxyl group at 2-position of ring B potentiates the antibacterial activity and overcomes the antibiotic resistance.

Abstract Human H-PGDS has shown promise as a potential target for anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Here we describe the discovery of a novel class of indole inhibitors, identified through focused screening of 42,000 compounds and evaluated using a series of hit validation assays that included fluorescence polarization binding, 1D NMR, ITC and chromogenic enzymatic assays. Compounds with low nanomolar potency, favorable physico-chemical properties and inhibitory activity in human mast cells have been identified. In addition, our studies suggest that the active site of hH-PGDS can accommodate larger structural diversity than previously thought, such as the introduction of polar groups in the inner part of the binding pocket.

- Pd(II)-Catalyzed Direct Sulfonylation of Unactivated C(sp3)-H Bonds with Sodium Sulfinates
-
A Pd(II)-catalyzed sulfonylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds with sodium arylsulfinates using an 8-aminoquinoline auxiliary is described. This reaction demonstrates excellent functional group tolerance with respect to both the caboxamide starting material and the sodium arylsulfinate coupling partner, affording a broad range of aryl alkyl sulfones. Moreover, the late-stage modification of complex molecules was achieved via this sulfonylation protocol.

- Design and synthesis of systemically active metabotropic glutamate subtype-2 and -3 (mGlu2/3) receptor positive allosteric modulators (PAMs): Pharmacological characterization and assessment in a rat model of cocaine dependence
-
As part of our ongoing small-molecule metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM) research, we performed structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies around a series of group II mGlu PAMs. Initial analogues exhibited weak activity as mGlu2 receptor PAMs and no activity at mGlu3. Compound optimization led to the identification of potent mGlu2/3 selective PAMs with no in vitro activity at mGlu1,4-8 or 45 other CNS receptors. In vitro pharmacological characterization of representative compound 44 indicated agonist-PAM activity toward mGlu2 and PAM activity at mGlu 3. The most potent mGlu2/3 PAMs were characterized in assays predictive of ADME/T and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, allowing the discovery of systemically active mGlu2/3 PAMs. On the basis of its overall profile, compound 74 was selected for behavioral studies and was shown to dose-dependently decrease cocaine self-administration in rats after intraperitoneal administration. These mGlu2/3 receptor PAMs have significant potential as small molecule tools for investigating group II mGlu pharmacology.

- Synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of novel diesters of 4,4'-dihydroxy azoxy benzene with long chain carboxylic acids
-
Synthesis of novel symmetrical azoxy diesters have been prepared by the reaction of 4,4'-dihydroxyazoxy benzene with aliphatic acid halides of varying chain lengths. The synthesized compounds have been characterized by spectral and analytical data. These symmetrical azoxy diesters exhibit good antifungal activity against six fungal strains (Mucor species, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Alternaria solani, Fusarium solani and Aspergillus fumigatus) and antitumor activities while no significant antibacterial activity has been observed. These synthesized compounds are also potent free radical scavengers.

- Synthesis and binding profile of haloperidol-based bivalent ligands targeting dopamine D2-like receptors
-
Homodimers of dopamine D2-like receptors are suggested to be of particular importance in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and, thus, serve as promising targets for the discovery of atypical antipsychotics. This study describes the development of a series of novel bivalent molecules with a pharmacophore derived from the dopamine receptor antagonist haloperidol. These dimers were investigated in comparison to their monomeric analogues for their D2long, D2short, D3, and D4 receptor binding and the ability to bridge two neighboring receptor protomers. Radioligand binding studies provided diagnostic insights when Hill slopes close to two for the bivalent ligand 13 incorporating 22 spacer atoms and a comparative analysis with monovalent control ligands indicated a bivalent binding mode with a simultaneous occupancy of two neighboring binding sites.

- Novel capsaicin analogues as potential anticancer agents: Synthesis, biological evaluation, and in silico approach
-
A novel class of benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethyl alkyl/aryl amide and ester analogues of capsaicin were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against human and murine cancer cell lines (B16F10, SK-MEL-28, NCI-H1299, NCI-H460, SK-BR-3, and MDA-MB-231) and human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5). Three compounds (5f, 6c, and 6e ) selectively inhibited the growth of aggressive cancer cells in the micromolar (mM) range. Furthermore, an exploratory data analysis pointed at the topological and electronic molecular properties as responsible for the discrimination process regarding the set of investigated compounds. The findings suggest that the applied designing strategy, besides providing more potent analogues, indicates the aryl amides and esters as well as the alkyl esters as interesting scaffolds to design and develop novel anticancer agents. 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

- Chemical and microbial semi-synthesis of tetrahydroprotoberberines as inhibitors on tissue factor procoagulant activity
-
To discover new inhibitors on tissue factor procoagulant activity, 21 tetrahydroprotoberberines were screened on the model of human THP-1 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. Among these tetrahydroprotoberberines, several unique compounds were synthesized through microbial transformation: compound 6 (l-corydalmine) was obtained through regio-selective demethylation by Streptomyces griseus ATCC 13273, whereas compounds 4a, 4b, 5h, and 5i were microbial glycosylation products by Gliocladium deliquescens NRRL1086. The bioassay results showed that compounds 3 (tetrahydroberberine), 10 (tetrahydroberberrubine), and 5f (cinnamyl ester of 5) and 5i (glycosidic product of 5), exhibited the most potential effects, with IC50 values of 8.35, 6.75, 3.75, and 8.79 nM, respectively. The preliminary structure and activity relationship analysis revealed that the 2,3-methylenedioxy group of the A ring was essential for the strong inhibitory effects, and the R configuration of the chiral center C-14 showed higher activity than S-form products. The formation of fatty acid or aromatic acid esters of compound 5, except the cinnamyl esters, would weaken its effects. It is also interesting to note that the glycosylation of tetrahydroprotoberberines will maintain and even enhance the inhibitory effects. Because of the importance of glycochemistry in new drug discovery and development, this deserves further exploration and may provide some guide on the semi-synthesis of tetrahydroprotoberberines as tissue factor pathway inhibitors. Our findings also provide some potential leading compounds for tissue factor-related diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

- Bioresponsive deciduous-charge amphiphiles for liposomal delivery of DNA and siRNA
-
Purpose: Biolabile cationic lipids were developed for efficient intracellular delivery of DNA and siRNA. Methods: The compounds have been designed starting from the membrane lipid DOPC in a way they may loose their cationic charge when exposed to an acidic and/or enzymatic stimulus, such as those met during the journey of a lipoplex in biological media. Results: They demonstrated remarkable efficiency to deliver DNA in various cell lines (BHK-21, Calu-3, NCI-H292, and A549), with no significant cytotoxicity. Furthermore, two of the compounds (carbonate-based DOPC derivatives) revealed able to deliver small interfering RNA in U87Luc and A549Luc cancer cells and to mediate a selective 70-80% knockdown of the stably transfected luciferase gene. Conclusions: The results show that the described bioresponsive cationic lipids have high DNA and siARN delivery activity which is encouraging in view of delivering a therapeutic nucleic acid to pulmonary tissues in vivo.

- Catalytic asymmetric reductive acyl cross-coupling: Synthesis of enantioenriched acyclic α,α-disubstituted ketones
-
The first enantioselective Ni-catalyzed reductive acyl cross-coupling has been developed. Treatment of acid chlorides and racemic secondary benzyl chlorides with a NiII/bis(oxazoline) catalyst in the presence of Mn0 as a stoichiometric reductant generates acyclic α,α-disubstituted ketones in good yields and high enantioselectivity without requiring stoichiometric chiral auxiliaries or pregeneration of organometallic reagents. The mild, base-free reaction conditions are tolerant of a variety of functional groups on both coupling partners.

- Bromination of enamines from tertiary amides using the petasis reagent: A convenient one-pot regioselective route to bromomethyl ketones
-
An original one-pot synthesis of bromomethyl ketones is achived using the Petasis reagent (dimethyltitanocene) as a key for enamine generation. Several amides were used to test the limits of the procedure by changing either the alkyl chain R or the amino portion of the starting materials. The enamines generated in situ were allowed to react with bromine at low temperature followed by hydrolysis to yield bromomethyl ketones in excellent yields (85 to 95%). Mechanistic details and optimum conditions for the reaction are briefly discussed. The present approach offers several advantages such as regioselectivity in enamine formation, good yields, mild reaction conditions, and ease of experimentation.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel ferrocene-naphthoquinones as antiplasmodial agents
-
This work deals with the synthesis and evaluation of new compounds designed by combination of 1,4-naphthoquinone and ferrocene fragments in a 3-ferrocenylmethyl-2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone arrangement. A practical coupling reaction between 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and ferrocenemethanol derivatives has been developed. This procedure can be carried out "on-water", at moderate temperatures and without auxiliaries or catalysts, with moderate to high yields. The synthesized derivatives have shown significant in vitro antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine-sensitive and resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains and it has been shown that this activity is not related to the inhibition of biomineralization of ferriprotoporphyrin IX. Binding energy calculations and docking of these compounds to cytochrome b in comparison with atovaquone have been performed.

- β-Arylation of carboxamides via iron-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bond activation
-
A 2,2-disubstituted propionamide bearing an 8-aminoquinolinyl group as the amide moiety can be arylated at the β-methyl position with an organozinc reagent in the presence of an organic oxidant, a catalytic amount of an iron salt, and a biphosphine ligand at 50 C. Various features of selectivity and reactivity suggest the formation of an organometallic intermediate via rate-determining C-H bond cleavage rather than a free-radical-type reaction pathway.

- Enantioselective synthesis of anti-β-hydroxy-α-amido esters by asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in emulsions
-
Herein, we present two methods for an asymmetric transfer hydrogenation through the dynamic kinetic resolution of α-amido-β-ketoesters. These procedures yield the corresponding anti-β-hydroxy-α-amido esters in good yields and with good diastereo- and enantioselectivities. First, the scope of the reduction of α-amido-β-ketoesters by using triethylammonium formate azeotrope is examined. Then, an emulsion technology with sodium formate is explored, which allows for broader substrate scope, faster reaction times, and lower catalyst loading. Furthermore, these reactions are operationally simple and can be set up in air.

Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) is the product of the polymerization reaction catalyzed by DNA-and RNA-polymerases. A number of novel non-hydrolsable PPi analogues was synthesized; some of them inhibited the polymerization reaction catalyzed by hepatitis C virus RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (NS5B). A new pharmacophore based on a non-hydrolysable methylenediphosphonate backbone has been developed. The structure-activity relationship analysis of 12 bisphosphonates is presented and the structural features crucial for NS5B polymerase activity inhibition are stated.
