Inhibition of the interactions of the tumor suppressor protein p53 with its negative regulators MDM2 in vitro and in vivo, representing a valuable therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. The natural product chalcone exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against MDM2, thus based on the binding mode between chalcone and MDM2, a hit unsaturated pyrrolidone scaffold was obtained through virtual screening. Several unsaturated pyrrolidone derivatives were synthesized and biological evaluated. As a result, because the three critical hydrophobic pockets of MDM2 were occupied by the substituted-phenyl linked at the pyrrolidone fragment, compound 4 h demonstrated good binding affinity with the MDM2. Additionally, compound 4 h also showed excellent antitumor activity and selectivity, and no cytotoxicity against normal cells in vitro. The further antitumor mechanism studies were indicated that compound 4 h could successfully induce the activation of p53 and corresponding downstream p21 proteins, thus successfully causing HCT116 cell cycle arrest in the G1/M phase and apoptosis. Thus, the novel unsaturated pyrrolidone p53-MDM2 inhibitors could be developed as novel antitumor agents.

The synthesis, antileukemic and antiplatelet activity evaluation of 2,3-diaryl-6,7-dihydro-5H-1,4-diazepines are described. In general, it was found that compound 17o showed moderate antileukemic activity against MOLT3 human leukemic cancer cell lines. An arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation effect on washed rat platelets was studied. Compound 17i was found to be the most potent. The antiplatelet properties may be mediated by interference with the arachidonic acid pathway.
An efficient and time saving microwave-assisted selenium dioxide oxidation of 1,2-diarylethanones

, p. 1080 - 1085 (2007/10/03)
Selenium dioxide oxidation of 1,2-diarylethanones to corresponding diones by conventional method takes upto 8 hr. The same oxidation under microwave radiations using dimethylsulfoxide as solvent reduces the reaction time considerably (30 to 90 sec). The method reported is efficient and time saving.
