, p. 3682 - 3687 (2021/02/01)
A mild and green electro-oxidative protocol to construct aromatic esters from methylarenes and alcohols is herein reported. Importantly, the reaction is free of metals, chemical oxidants, bases, acids, and operates at room temperature. Moreover, the design of the electrolyte was found critical for the oxidation state and structure of the coupling products, a rarely documented effect. This electro-oxidative coupling process also displays exceptional tolerance of many fragile easily oxidized functional groups such as hydroxy, aldehyde, olefin, alkyne, as well as neighboring benzylic positions. The enantiomeric enrichment of some chiral alcohols is moreover preserved during this electro-oxidative coupling reaction, making it overall a promising synthetic tool.

A series of six compounds (1a-f) possessing pyridine-pyrazole-benzenethiourea or pyridine-pyrazole-benzenesulfonamide scaffold were synthesized. The target compounds were screened to evaluate their inhibitory effect on human nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 and ?3 (ENPP1 and ENPP3) isoenzymes. Compounds 1c-e were the most potent inhibitors of ENPP1 with sub-micromolar IC50 values (0.69, 0.18, and 0.40 μM, respectively. Moreover, compound 1b was the most potent inhibitor of ENPP3 (IC50 = 0.21 μM). They were much more potent than the reference standard inhibitor, suramin (IC50 values against ENPP1 and ?3 were 7.77 and 0.89 μM, respectively). Furthermore, all the six compounds were investigated for cytotoxic effect against cancerous cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7, and 1321N1) and normal cell line (BHK-21). Compound 1e was active against all the three cancer cell lines, however, showed preferential cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (IC50 = 16.05 μM), which is comparable to the potency of cisplatin. All the tested compounds exhibited low or negligible cytotoxic effect against the normal cells. They have the merit of superior selectivity towards cancer cells than normal cells compared to cisplatin. The relative selectivity and potency of the inhibitors was justified by molecular docking studies. All the docked structures showed considerable binding interactions with amino acids residues of active sites of ENPP isoenzymes.

A simple method is delineated for the synthesis of substituted ester products in superior yields by esterification reaction under solvent unbound condition using tungsten upgraded ZrO2 solid acid catalyst at 353 K. The WO3/ZrO2 catalyst has been prepared by using impregnation method followed by calcination at 923 K over a period of 6 h in air atmosphere. SEM, XRD, FTIR, and BET surface area techniques were used to categorize this catalyst. Zirconia has both acidic and basic possessions which can be changed by incorporating suitable promoter atom like tungsten which in turn increases the surface area thereby enhancing the surface acidity. Impregnation of W6+ ions exhibits a strong influence on phase modification of zirconia from thermodynamically solid monoclinic to metastable tetragonal phase. Amalgamation of promoter W6+ will stabilize tetragonal phase which is active in catalyzing reactions. In esterification reaction WO3/ZrO2 catalyst was found to be stable, efficient and environmental friendly, effortlessly recovered by filtration, excellent yield of product and can be reusable efficiently.

Efficient metal-free methods for the electrophilic chlorination of arenes using PIFA and simple chlorine sources are reported. The in situ formation of PhI(Cl)OCOCF3 from PIFA and KCl is proposed, which resulted in a chlorinating species for moderately activated arenes. Moreover, the in situ formation of PhICl2 from PIFA and TMSCl resulted in an excellent approach for the chlorination of a great variety of arenes (20 examples) in high yields, even when working on a multigram scale.

We developed a mild aromatic halogenation reaction using a combination of N-halosuccinimide and PhSSiMe3 or PhSSPh. Less reactive aromatic compounds, such as methyl 4-methoxybenzoate, were brominated with PhSSiMe3 or PhSSPh and N-bromosuccinimide in high yields. No reaction was observed in the absence of PhSSiMe3 or PhSSPh. This method is also applicable to chlorination reactions using N-chlorosuccinimide and PhSSPh.

This article reports the synthesis of new triarylpyrazole derivatives possessing urea or amide linker, and their biological activities at molecular, cellular, and in vivo levels. Compound 2b was the most potent inhibitor of p38α/MAPK14 kinase (IC50 = 22 nM) among this series. Molecular docking studies were conducted to understand the kinase inhibitory variations and the basis of selectivity. Compound 2b was able to inhibit p38α/MAPK14 kinase inside HEK293 cells in nanoBRET cellular kinase assay with EC50 value of 0.55 μM, comparable to the potency of dasatinib. Compound 2b inhibited TNF-α production in lipopolysaccharide-induced THP-1 cells with IC50 value of 58 nM. In addition, compound 2b showed low potency against hERG. It is 622.38 times less potent than E?4031 against hERG, so the risk of cardiotoxicity of the compound is very minimal. Compound 2b showed also high plasma stability in vitro in human and rat plasmas. The in vivo PK profile of compound 2b is acceptable, and its antiinflammatory effect was comparable to diclofenac with no ulcerogenic side effect on stomach.

Herein, we present a study on the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using three recombinant aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). The ALDHs were used in purified form with a nicotinamide oxidase (NOx), which recycles the catalytic NAD+ at the expense of dioxygen (air at atmospheric pressure). The reaction was studied also with lyophilised whole cell as well as resting cell biocatalysts for more convenient practical application. The optimised biocatalytic oxidation runs in phosphate buffer at pH 8.5 and at 40 °C. From a set of sixty-one aliphatic, aryl-Aliphatic, benzylic, hetero-Aromatic and bicyclic aldehydes, fifty were converted with elevated yield (up to >99%). The exceptions were a few ortho-substituted benzaldehydes, bicyclic heteroaromatic aldehydes and 2-phenylpropanal. In all cases, the expected carboxylic acid was shown to be the only product (>99% chemoselectivity). Other oxidisable functionalities within the same molecule (e.g. hydroxyl, alkene, and heteroaromatic nitrogen or sulphur atoms) remained untouched. The reaction was scaled for the oxidation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (2 g), a bio-based starting material, to afford 5-(hydroxymethyl)furoic acid in 61% isolated yield. The new biocatalytic method avoids the use of toxic or unsafe oxidants, strong acids or bases, or undesired solvents. It shows applicability across a wide range of substrates, and retains perfect chemoselectivity. Alternative oxidisable groups were not converted, and other classical side-reactions (e.g. halogenation of unsaturated functionalities, Dakin-Type oxidation) did not occur. In comparison to other established enzymatic methods such as the use of oxidases (where the concomitant oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes is common), ALDHs offer greatly improved selectivity.

Since esters are important organic synthesis intermediates, an environmentally friendly oxone catalyzed-esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols has been developed. A series of carboxylic acid esters are obtained in high yield. This strategy requires mild reaction conditions, providing an attractive alternative for the construction of valuable carbonyl esters. Electron-rich and electron-deficient groups are compatible with the standard conditions and a variety of substrates are demonstrated. Moreover, the reaction could easily be adapted to typical prodrugs, drugs and gram-scale synthesis.

Zhang, Lei,Hu, Xile
, p. 7009 - 7013 (2017/10/05)
Photoredox catalysis has been developed to achieve oxidative C-H chlorination of aromatic compounds using NaCl as the chlorine source and Na2S2O8 as the oxidant. The reactions occur at room temperature and exhibit exclusive selectivity for C(sp2)-H bonds over C(sp3)-H bonds. The method has been used for the chlorination of a diverse set of substrates, including the expedited synthesis of key intermediates to bioactive compounds and a drug.

, p. 336 - 347 (2013/09/12)
A series of 3,4-diarylpyrazole-1-carboxamide derivatives was designed and synthesized. A selected group of the target compounds was tested for in vitro antiproliferative activities over a panel of 60 cancer cell lines at the National Cancer Institute (NCI, Bethesda, MD, USA) at a single-dose concentration of 10 μm, and the four most active compounds 9a, 9l, 9n, and 10o were further tested in a five-dose testing mode to determine their IC50 values over the 60 cell lines. In addition, a selected group of target compounds were tested for inhibitory effect over cyclooxygenase isozymes. Compounds 9a, 9l, 9n, and 10o were also tested for MEK and ERK kinase inhibitory activity using Western blot assay. Compound 10o was selective toward melanoma cell line subpanel, and its antiproliferative activity may be attributed to selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition and ERK pathway inhibition.
