Challenges to the de novo synthesis of bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a), the chief pigment for anoxygenic bacterial photosynthesis, include creating the macrocycle along with the trans-dialkyl substituents in both pyrroline rings (B and D). A known route to a model bacteriochlorophyll with a gem-dimethyl group in each pyrroline ring has been probed for utility in the synthesis of BChl a by preparation of a hybrid macrocycle (BC-1), which contains a trans-dialkyl group in ring D and a gem-dimethyl group in ring B. Stereochemical definition began with the synthesis of (2S,3S)-2-ethyl-3-methylpent-4-ynoic acid, a precursor to the trans-dialkyl-substituted AD dihydrodipyrrin. Knoevenagel condensation of the latter and a gem-dimethyl, β-ketoester-substituted BC dihydrodipyrrin afforded the enone (E, 70%; Z, 3%); subsequent double-ring cyclization of the E-enone (via Nazarov, electrophilic aromatic substitution, and elimination reactions) gave BC-1 (53% yield) along with a trace of chlorin byproduct (1.4% relative to BC-1 upon fluorescence assay). BC-1 exhibited the desired trans-dialkyl stereochemistry in ring D and was obtained as a 7:1 mixture of (expected) epimers owing to the configuration of the 132-carbomethoxy substituent. The strategy wherein trans-dialkyl substituents are installed very early and carried through to completion, as validated herein, potentially opens a synthetic path to native photosynthetic pigments.

A new Pd(II)-catalyzed cascade sequence for the formation of polyheterocycles, from simple starting materials, is reported. The sequence is applicable to both indole and pyrrole substrates, and a range of substituents are tolerated. The reaction is thought to proceed by a Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H activated Heck reaction followed by a second Pd(II)-catalyzed aza-Wacker reaction with two Cu(II)-mediated Pd(0) turnovers per sequence. The sequence can be considered a formal [4 + 2] heterocyclization.

Abstract Glycolysis is drastically increased in tumors and it is the main route to energy production with a minor use of oxidative phosphorylation. Among the key enzymes in the glycolytic process, LDH is emerging as one of the most interesting targets for the development of new inhibitors. In this context, in the present work, we carried out a virtual screening procedure followed by chemical modifications of the identified structures according to a "hit-to-lead" process. The effects of the new molecules were preliminary probed against purified human LDH-A. The compounds active at low micromolar level were additionally characterized for their activity on some cellular metabolic processes by using Raji human cell line. Within the series, 1 was considered the best candidate, and a more detailed characterization of its biological properties was performed. In Raji cells exposed to compound 1 we evidenced the occurrence of effects usually observed in cancer cells after LDH-A inhibition: reduced lactate production and NAD/NADH ratio, apoptosis. The flow cytometry analysis of treated cells also showed cell cycle changes compatible with effects exerted at the glycolytic level. Finally, in agreement with the data obtained with other inhibitors or by silencing LDH-A expression, compound 1 was found to increase Raji cells response to some commonly used chemotherapeutic agents. Taken together, all these finding are in support of the LDH-A inhibiting activity of compound 1.

Eighteen novel 3-substituted-indolin-2-ones containing chloropyrroles were synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated. The presence of a chlorine atom on the pyrrole ring was crucial to reduce cardiotoxicity. The presence of a 2-(ethylamino) ethylcarbamoyl group as a substituent at the C-4' position of the pyrrole enhanced the antitumor activities notably. IC 50 values as low as 0.32, 0.67, 1.19 and 1.22 μM were achieved against non-small cell lung cancer (A549), oral epithelial (KB), melanoma (K111) and large cell lung cancer cell lines (NCI-H460), respectively.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Bacteriochlorins are attractive candidates for a wide variety of photochemical studies owing to their strong absorption in the near-infrared spectral region. The prior acid-catalysis conditions [BF 3 · O(Et)2 in CH3CN at room temperature] for self-condensation of a dihydrodipyrrin-acetal (bearing a geminal dimethyl group in the pyrroline ring) typically afforded a mixture of three macrocycles: the expected 5-methoxybacteriochlorin (MeOBC-type), a 5-unsubstituted bacteriochlorin (HBC-type), and a free base B,D-tetradehydrocorrin (TDC-type). Here, a broad survey of >20 acids identified four promising acid catalysis conditions of which TMSOTf/2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine in CH2Cl 2 at room temperature was most attractive owing to formation of the 5-methoxybacteriochlorin as the sole macrocycle regardless of the pyrrolic substituents in the dihydrodipyrrin-acetal (electron-withdrawing, electron-donating, or no substituent). Eleven new dihydrodipyrrin-acetals were prepared following standard routes. Application of the new acid catalysis conditions has afforded diverse bacteriochlorins (e.g., bearing alkyl/ester, aryl/ester, diester, and no substituents) in a few days from commercially available starting materials. Consideration of the synthetic steps and yields for formation of the dihydrodipyrrin-acetal and bacteriochlorin underpins evaluation of synthetic plans for early installation of bacteriochlorin substituents via the dihydrodipyrrin-acetal versus late installation via derivatization of β-bromobacteriochlorins. Treatment of the 5-methoxybacteriochlorins with NBS gave regioselective 15-bromination when no pyrrolic substituents were present or when each pyrrole contained two substituents; on the other hand, the presence of a β-ethoxycarbonyl group caused loss of regioselectivity. The 15 new bacteriochlorins prepared herein exhibit a long-wavelength absorption band in the range 707-759 nm, providing tunable access to the near-infrared region. Taken together, this study expands the scope of available bacteriochlorins for fundamental studies and diverse applications. 2010 American Chemical Society.
