Malaria continues to be a major global health problem, being particularly devastating in the African population under the age of five. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the first-line treatment recommended by the WHO to treat Plasmodium falciparum malaria, but clinical resistance against them has already been reported. As a consequence, novel chemotypes are urgently needed. Herein we report a novel, in vivo active, fast-acting antimalarial chemotype based on a benzimidazole core. This discovery is the result of a medicinal chemistry plan focused on improving the developability profile of an antichlamydial chemical class previously reported by our group. (Graph Presented).

(Chemical Equation Presented) This paper describes the successful implementation of a stereocontrolled strategy for the total chemical synthesis of the pyrrolidine-based alkaloid (-)-kaitocephalin. This scalable synthetic route profits from the strategic
Proton mobility in 2-substituted 1,3-dichlorobenzenes: "ortho" or "meta" metalation?
Schlosser, Manfred,Heiss, Christophe,Marzi, Elena,Scopelliti, Rosario
, p. 4398 - 4404 (2007/10/03)
Nine 1,3-dichlorobenzene congeners were selected as model compounds to assess the relative rates of proton abstraction from 4- and 5-positions ("ortho" vs. "meta" metalation). Using lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide as the basic reagent, the chlorine-adjacent 4-position underwent metalation exclusively. In contrast, attack at the chlorine-remote 5-posi" tion became significant even in the case of moderately sized 2-substituents (such as dimethylamino or ethyl) when secbutyllithium was employed. The "ortho/para" (4-/5-) ratios ranged from 80:20 to 65:35. The more pronounced "meta-orienting" effect of silicon as opposed to carbon substituents can be attributed to dissimilarities in the n polarization of the aromatic ring. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Chlorometabolite production by the ecologically important white rot fungus Bjerkandera adusta
Silk,Aubry,Lonergan,Macaulay
, p. 1603 - 1616 (2007/10/03)
Two strains of the basidiomycete, Bjerkandera adusta (DAOM 215869 and BOS55) produce in static liquid culture, phenyl, veratryl, anisyl and chloroanisyl metabolites (CAM's) (alcohols, acids and aldehydes) as well as a series of compounds not previously known to be produced by Bjerkandera species: 1-phenyl, 1-anisyl, 1-(3-chloro-4-methoxy) and 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-methoxy) propan-1,2-diols, predominantly as erythro diastereomers with 1R, 2S absolute configurations. 1-Anisyl-propan-1,2-diol and 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-methoxy)-propan-1,2-diol are new metabolites for which the names Bjerkanderol A and B, respectively, are proposed. Experiments with static liquid cultures supplied with 13C66- and 13C9-L-phenylalanine showed that all identified aromatic compounds (with the exception of phenol) can be derived from L-phenylalanine. For the aryl propane diols, the 13C label appeared only in the phenyl ring and the benzylic carbon, suggesting a stereoselective re-synthesis from a C7 and a C2-unit, likely aromatic aldehyde and decarboxylated pyruvate, respectively. Other compounds newly discovered to be derived from phenylalanine by this white rot fungus include phenylacetaldehyde and phenylpyruvic, phenylacetic, phenyllactic, mandelic and phenyl glyoxylic (benzoyl formic) acids. For both strains, cultures supplied with Na37Cl showed incorporation of 37Cl in all identified chlorometabolites. Veratryl alcohol and the CAM alcohols, which occur in both strains and can be derived from L-phenylalanine (all 13C-labelled), have reported important physiological functions in this white rot fungus. Possible mechanisms for their formation through the newly discovered compounds are discussed.
Oxidative chlorination of various lodoarenes to (dichloroiodo)arenes with chromium(vi) oxide as the oxidant j

Chromium(vi) oxide dissolved in a mixture of acetic acid with concentrated hydrochloric acid converts, at or near room temperature, iodoarenes to (dichloroiodo)arenes, in a very simple and efficient procedure.
Diarylspiro[2.4]heptenes as orally active, highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors: Synthesis and structure-activity relationships
Huang, Horng-Chih,Li, James J.,Garland, Danny J.,Chamberlain, Timothy S.,Reinhard, Emily J.,Manning, Robert E.,Seibert, Karen,Koboldt, Carol M.,Gregory, Susan A.,Anderson, Gary D.,Veenhuizen, Amy W.,Zhang, Yan,Perkins, William E.,Burton, Earl G.,Cogburn, J. Nita,Isakson, Peter C.,Reitz, David B.

A novel series of 5,6-diarylspiro[2.4]hept-5-enes was shown to provide highly potent and selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. A study of structure-activity relationships in this series suggests that 3,4- disubstituted phenyl analogs are generally more selective than 4-substituted phenyl analogs and that replacement of the methyl sulfone group on the 6- phenyl ring with a sulfonamide moiety results in compounds with superior in vivo pharmacological properties, although with lower COX-2 selectivity. Several compounds have been shown to possess promising pharmacological properties in adjuvant-induced arthritis and edema analgesia models. The absence of gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity at 200 mpk of several selected compounds in rats and mice corresponds well with the weak potency for inhibition of COX-1 observed in the enzyme assay. Methyl sulfone 55 and sulfonamide 24 were shown to have superior in vivo pharmacological profiles, low GI toxicity, and good oral bioavailability and duration of action.
Steric Enhancement of Resonance-Evidence from Kinetic Study on some Acetophenones
Pillay, M. Krishna,Palanivelu, S.
, p. 1055 - 1059 (2007/10/02)
The kinetics of oxidation of some mono-, di- and tri-substituted acetophenones by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) in 50percent (v/v) methanol-water mixture at constant ionic strength and at 20, 30 and 40 deg have been studied spectrophotometrically and the rate constants determined by least-squares analysis.Electron-withdrawing groups in the ring facilitate the oxidation of the acetyl function while electron-releasing groups retard the rate.The rate constant values for the oxidation of 3-substituted-4-alkoxy-acetophenones are computed based on the principle of additivity of group effects.The observed rate constants are significantly lower than the calculated values.This is attributed to the phenomenon of steric enhancement of resonance (SER). 3,5-Disubstituted-4-methoxyacetophenones have higher observed rate constant values than the calculated ones.The steric inhibition of resonance (SIR) operates in these systems.In the case of 3-halogeno-4-methoxyacetophenones, the importance of SER increases with increase in the bulkiness of the 3-substituents.The difference between the calculated and observed multiple substituent constants of 3-substituted-4-methoxyacetophenones also lends support for SER.
