A series of substituted phenyl ethers derivatives as juvenile hormone (JH) mimics (V1-V8) have been synthesized. Substituted phenoxyacetic acid and amino acid ethyl ester hydrochloride were prepared using NaOH, SOCl2. DCC method has been used for amide linkage. The structure of prepared compounds has been confirmed by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR), Electrospray ionization-Mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), Proton and Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) spectroscopic techniques. Biological efficacy of synthesized analogs has been carried out under laboratory conditions. Galleria mellonella (honey bee pest) has been chosen as testing insect. Juvenile hormone (JH) activity of synthesized compounds has been tested at different concentrations and compared with the standard juvenile hormone analogs (JHAs) pyriproxyfen (M1) and fenoxycarb (M2) against the fifth larval instar of G. mellonella. Compound ethyl 2-[2-(4-methylphenoxy)aminoacetyl]-3-phenyl-propanoate (V6) exhibited better activity among all the synthesized compounds (V1-V8) with LC50 and LC90 values of 0.11 mg/mL and 0.56 mg/mL respectively. Compounds showed insect growth regulating (IGR) activity at lower concentrations. In silico screening of all synthesized compounds with the W-cavity of juvenile hormone-binding protein (JHBP) of insect G. mellonella has been carried out. Chemical reactivity of synthesized series has been studied using DFT/B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,2p) method. Non-toxic behavior of molecules has also been observed from ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) study using discovery studio client 3.0. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines with heterogeneous catalysts under liquid-phase continuous-flow conditions is described. Newly developed polysilane/SiO2-supported Pd was found to be an effective catalyst and various nitriles were converted into primary amine salts in almost quantitative yields under mild reaction conditions. Interestingly, a complex mixture was obtained under batch conditions. Lifetime experiments showed that this catalyst remained active for more than 300 h (TON≥10 000) without loss of selectivity and no metal leaching from the catalyst occurred. By using this continuous-flow hydrogenation, synthesis of venlafaxine, an antidepressant drug, has been accomplished.

, p. 136 - 142 (2017/07/05)
A method for the ferrocene modification of amino acids of natural and synthetic origin has been developed. In the in vivo studies, the hippocampal electrical activity under the action of ferrocenyl(phenylpyrazolyl)glycine (1) was assessed. A meaningful rise (up to 25% compared to the control) in the response amplitudes of the focal potentials of the hippocampal region СА1 after intraperitoneal administration of compound 1 at the dose of 2.0 mg kg–1 was established.

A library of amide-linked derivatives of β-alanine hydroxamic acid were prepared (2-7) and the activity as inhibitors of Zn(II)-containing histone deacetylases (HDACs) determined in vitro against HDAC1 and the anti-proliferative activity determined in BE(2)-C neuroblastoma cells. The IC50 values of the best-performing compounds (3-7) against HDAC1 ranged between 38 and 84 μM. The least potent compound (2) inhibited a maximum of only 40% HDAC1 activity at 250 μM. The anti-proliferative activity of 2-7 at 50 μM against BE(2)-C neuroblastoma cells ranged between 57.0% and 88.6%. The structural similarity between the potent HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA, 1; HDAC1, IC50 12 nM) and the present compounds (2-7) was high at the Zn(II) coordinating hydroxamic acid head group; and in selected compounds (2, 5), at the 4-(dimethylamino)phenyl tail. The significantly reduced potency of 2-7 relative to 1 underscores the rank importance of the linker region as part of the HDAC inhibitor pharmacophore. Molecular modeling of 1-7 using HDAC8 as the template suggested that the conformationally constrained 4′-methyl group of 1 may contribute to HDAC inhibitor potency through a sandwich-like interaction with a hydrophobic region containing F152 and F208; and that the absence of this group in 2-7 may reduce potency. The close proximity of the 5′-carbonyl oxygen atom in 2-7 to the sulfur atom of Met274 in HDAC8 or the corresponding isobutyl group of Leu274 in HDAC1 may attenuate potency through repulsive steric and dipole-dipole forces. In a unique resonance stabilized form of 2, this interaction could manifest as stronger ion-dipole repulsive forces, resulting in a further decrease in potency. This work suggests that resonance structures of HDAC inhibitors could modulate intermolecular interactions with HDAC targets, and potency.

The reverse transcriptase (RT) of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) is still a prime target for drug development due to the continuing need to block drug-resistant RT mutants by new inhibitors. We have previously identified 1-(4-chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3-propoxypropyl)thiourea, compound 1, as a potent RT inhibitor from an available chemical library. Here, we further modified this compound to study structure-activity relationships when replacing various groups in the molecule. Different functional groups were systematically introduced on the aromatic ring and the aliphatic chain of the compound was modified. The effect of these modifications on viral infectivity was then evaluated. The most potent compound found was propyl 4-(amino-N-(4-chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methanethioamino)butanoate, 45c, which inhibited infectivity with a calculated IC50 of about 1.1 μM. Docking studies identified potential important interactions between the top scoring ligands and HIV-1 RT, and the predicted relative affinity of the ligands was found to be in agreement with the experimental results.

A new series of 1,5-disubstituted 1,3,5-hexahydrotriazine-2-N-nitroimines (4a-4x) were designed and synthesized as novel chiral neonicotinoid analogues. The single-crystal structure of 4n was further determined by X-ray diffraction, and its S configuration was confirmed. Preliminary bioassay showed that compound 4e, 4k, 4u, 4v exhibited excellent insecticidal activities at 100 mg/L, while 4k had >90% mortality at 10 mg/L, which suggested it could be used as a lead for future development. Modeling the inhibitor-nAChR complexes by molecular docking studies explained the structure-activity relationships observed in vitro, and revealed an intriguing molecular binding mode at the active site of nAChR, which raised the possibility that these analogues may arbitrate their insecticidal activity through a mechanism other than imidacloprid.

The anthranilic acid diamides represent the more recent class of nonpeptide CCK1 receptor antagonists. This class is characterized by the presence of anthranilic acid, used as a molecular scaffold, and two pharmacophores selected from the C-terminal tetrapeptide of CCK. The lead compound coded VL-0395, endowed with sub-micromolar affinity towards CCK1 receptors, was characterized by the presence of Phe and 2-indole moiety at the C- and N-termini of anthranilic acid, respectively. Herein we describe the first step of the anthranilic acid C-terminal optimization using, instead of Phe, aminoacids belonging to the primary structure of CCK-8 and other not coded residues. Thus we demonstrate that the CCK1 receptor affinity depends on the nature of the aminoacidic side chain as well as that the free carboxy group of the alpha-aminoacids is crucial for the binding. The R enantiomers of the most active compounds represent the eutomers of this class of antagonists confirming thus the stereo preference of the receptor. Moreover this SAR study demonstrates that the receptor binding pocket, that host the aminoacidic side chain, results much more tolerant respect to that accommodating the indole ring. As a result, an appropriate variation of the aminoacidic side chain could provide a better CCK1 receptor affinity diorthosis.

A general simple procedure having the potential for large scale preparations of racemic β3-amino acids has been developed. The procedure involves base-catalyzed Michael-type addition of sodium diethyl malonate to N-Boc-α-amidoalkyl-p-tolyl sulfones in tetrahydrofuran. Hydrolysis of the adducts by refluxing with 6 M aqueous hydrochloric acid affords β3-amino acid hydrochlorides in high yield and excellent purity.
