- Expedient discovery for novel antifungal leads: 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives bearing a quinazolin-4(3H)-one fragment
-
Developing novel fungicide candidates are intensively promoted by the rapid emergences of resistant fungi that outbreak on agricultural production. Aiming to discovery novel antifungal leads, a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives bearing a quinazolin-4(3H)-one fragment were constructed for evaluating their inhibition effects against phytopathogenic fungi in vitro and in vivo. Systematically structural optimizations generated the bioactive molecule I32 that was identified as a promising inhibitor against Rhizoctonia solani with the in vivo preventative effect of 58.63% at 200 μg/mL. The observations that were captured by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that the bioactive molecule I32 could induce the sprawling growth of hyphae, the local shrinkage and rupture on hyphal surfaces, the extreme swelling of vacuoles, the striking distortions on cell walls, and the reduction of mitochondria numbers. The above results provided an indispensable complement for the discovery of antifungal lead bearing a quinazolin-4(3H)-one and 1,3,4-oxadiazole fragment.

- Design and synthesis of α-phenoxy-N-sulfonylphenyl acetamides as Trypanosoma brucei Leucyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitors
-
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), caused by the parasitic protozoa Trypanosoma brucei, is one of the fatal diseases in tropical areas and current medicines are insufficient. Thus, development of new drugs for HAT is urgently needed. Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS), a recently clinically validated antimicrobial target, is an attractive target for development of antitrypanosomal drugs. In this work, we report a series of α-phenoxy-N-sulfonylphenyl acetamides as T. brucei LeuRS inhibitors. The most potent compound 28g showed an IC50 of 0.70 μM which was 250-fold more potent than the starting hit compound 1. The structure-activity relationship was also discussed. These acetamides provided a new scaffold and lead compounds for the further development of clinically useful antitrypanosomal agents.

- Development of a Robust Protocol for the Synthesis of 6-Hydroxybenzofuran-3-carboxylic Acid
-
Benzofuran scaffolds are fundamental moieties found in a variety of biologically active natural products and synthetic drugs. In the course of one of our development programs, we needed to develop a practical and cost-effective manufacturing approach to such a benzofuran scaffold. Here we report a highly robust four-step, one-pot process that provides access to a 6-hydroxybenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid structure. An 1H NMR monitoring study allowed a better understanding of the overall sequence of events and the nature of the detected intermediates. After six steps, including the optimized tandem process, the desired hydroxylated benzofuran was obtained in 40% yield with a purity above 99%.

- Transition-metal-free conversion of lignin model compounds to high-value aromatics: Scope and chemoselectivity
-
An efficient and straightforward reaction protocol for the conversion of lignin model compounds was developed based on a simple system consisting of a base, oxygen, and a green solvent under mild conditions in the absence of metals. This protocol was successfully applied to the cleavage of both 'β-O-4' dimeric and trimeric compounds, and a controlled selective degradation was achieved depending on the bond type. The feasibility of this method to provide aromatic compounds in high yields from lignin by a sequential oxidative dehomologation reaction was clearly demonstrated.

- Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of aryl alkenes/alkenols: A new reaction mode for the synthesis of electron-rich chromanes
-
The Pd(II)-catalyzed intramolecular carbonylative cyclization reaction of aryl alkenes and aryl alkenols is reported for the synthesis of structurally diverse chromanes. PdCl2(CH3CN)2 was used as the catalyst and CuCl2 as the oxidant under the balloon pressure of CO. The reaction is conducted under mild conditions, and chromane-type esters and lactones can be generated in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner.

- Aryloxyacetic esters structurally related to α-Asarone as potential antifungal agents
-
A series of aryloxyacetic ester analogues 8-13 was synthesized based on the potential pharmacophores of the antifungal agents α-Asarone (1) and 2-5. Their antifungal activity was tested in vitro for their growth inhibitory activities against pathogenic fungi. The in vitro antifungal evaluation of these alkyl and aryl esters shows that derivatives 10 displayed the highest antifungal and fungicidal activities against Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii. These results support the idea that the phenoxyacetic frame is a potent pharmacophore for the design of potential antifungal drugs. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Antimalarial activity enhancement in hydroxymethylcarbonyl (HMC) isostere-based dipeptidomimetics targeting malarial aspartic protease plasmepsin
-
Plasmepsin (Plm) is a potential target for new antimalarial drugs, but most reported Plm inhibitors have relatively low antimalarial activities. We synthesized a series of dipeptide-type HIV protease inhibitors, which contain an allophenylnorstatine-dimethylthioproline scaffold to exhibit potent inhibitory activities against Plm II. Their activities against Plasmodium falciparum in the infected erythrocyte assay were largely different from those against the target enzyme. To improve the antimalarial activity of peptidomimetic Plm inhibitors, we attached substituents on a structure of the highly potent Plm inhibitor KNI-10006. Among the derivatives, we identified alkylamino compounds such as 44 (KNI-10283) and 47 (KNI-10538) with more than 15-fold enhanced antimalarial activity, to the sub-micromolar level, maintaining their potent Plm II inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. These results suggest that auxiliary substituents on a specific basic group contribute to deliver the inhibitors to the target Plm.
