Rohitukine is a medicinally important natural product which has inspired the discovery of two anticancer clinical candidates. Rohitukine is highly hydrophilic in nature which hampers its oral bioavailability. Thus, herein our objective was to improve the drug-like properties of rohitukine via prodrug-strategy. Various ester prodrugs were synthesized and studied for solubility, lipophilicity, chemical stability and enzymatic hydrolysis in plasma/esterase. All prodrugs displayed lower aqueous solubility and improved lipophilicity compared with rohitukine, which was in accordance with the criteria of compounds in drug-discovery. The stability of synthesized prodrugs was evaluated in buffers at different pH, SGF, SIF, rat plasma and in esterase enzyme. The rate of hydrolysis in all incubation media was dependent primarily on the acyl promoieties. Hexanoyl ester prodrug of rohitukine, 3d, was stable under chemical conditions; however it was completely hydrolyzed to rohitukine, in plasma and in esterase in 4?h. Hexanoate ester 3d appeared to be the most promising prodrug as it remained intact at gastric/intestinal pH and was completely transformed to the parent compound in plasma as desired for an ideal prodrug. The data presented herein, will help in designing prodrugs with desired physicochemical properties in future in structurally similar chemotypes.
Enantioselective total synthesis of decytospolide A and decytospolide B using an Achmatowicz reaction

Enantioselective syntheses of decytospolide A and decytospolide B are described here. The current synthesis highlights an Achmatowicz rearrangement of an optically active furanyl alcohol followed by reduction of the resulting dihydropyranone hemiacetal with BF3·OEt2 and Et3SiH to provide the saturated tetrahydropyranyl alcohol directly. This reduction was investigated with a variety of other Lewis acids. The synthesis also features Noyori asymmetric transfer hydrogenation and Friedel-Crafts acylation. Overall, the synthesis provides ready access to the natural products and may be useful in the preparation of bioactive derivatives.

Herein, we report synthesis of a set of benzothiazole-thiourea hybrids with aromatic and aliphatic side chains (BT1 to BT9) using an elegant synthetic strategy. The newly synthesized benzothiazole-thiourea conjugates were subjected to In-vitro tyrosinase inhibition and free radical scavenging activity. Majority of the compounds indicated inhibition considerably improved than the standard; compound (Kojic acid with IC50 = 16.8320 ± 1.1600 μM) BT2 with IC50 = 1.3431 ± 0.0254 μM was found to be the best inhibitor. A non-competitive mode of inhibition of BT2 was disclosed with Ki value of 2.8 μM. In order to study enzyme-inhibitor interactions SAR analysis molecular docking was carried out. The amino groups of thiourea were involved in hydrogen bonding with Glu322 showing the bond length of 1.74 and 2.70 ?, respectively. Moreover, the coupling of π-π was displayed between benzothiazole and benzene rings of His244 and His263, respectively. The outcome of this study might help to develop new inhibitors of melanogenesis, important for cosmetic and food products. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
