5,6-Dihydroxy-1H-indazole (DHI) is able to self-polymerize through the same mussel-inspired chemistry responsible for generating poly(dopamine) (PDA), demonstrating the potential to expand this class of catecholamine-exclusive chemistry onto heterocyclic catechol derivatives for the preparation of functional materials. Although DHI exhibits slower polymerization kinetics compared to dopamine, the two chemical species are compatibly polymerizable under the same reaction conditions and allow the preparation of copolymer coatings in different molar ratios. Of these copolymers, the 1:3-copolymer (DHI-to-dopamine ratio) has demonstrated adequate structural stability as a polymer coating. While PDA performs as an intact framework, the incorporated DHI enhances the colloidal stability and provides additional coordinating functionality through the pyrazole moieties. The 1:3-copolymer was fabricated into polymer capsules which exhibit negligible cytotoxicity towards murine dermal fibroblasts (L929) and enhanced binding behaviour towards copper(ii). This represents a new channel for fabricating cargo carriers for biomedical applications that involve the use of transition metal-based species.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and beige adipose tissue dissipate metabolic energy and mediate nonshivering thermogenesis, thereby boosting energy expenditure. Increasing the browning of BAT and beige adipose tissue is expected to be a promising strategy for combatting obesity. Through phenotype screening of C3H10-T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells, diphyllin was identified as a promising molecule in promoting brown adipocyte differentiation. In vitro studies revealed that diphyllin promoted C3H10-T1/2 cell and primary brown/beige preadipocyte differentiation and thermogenesis, which resulted increased energy consumption. We synthesized the compound and evaluated its effect on metabolism in vivo. Chronic experiments revealed that mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) with 100 mg/kg diphyllin had ameliorated oral glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and decreased body weight and fat content ratio. Adaptive thermogenesis in HFD-fed mice under cold stimulation and whole-body energy expenditure were augmented after chronic diphyllin treatment. Diphyllin may be involved in regulating the development of brown and beige adipocytes by inhibiting V-ATPase and reducing intracellular autophagy. This study provides new clues for the discovery of anti-obesity molecules from natural products.

Solvent-free oxidation of benzyl alcohols catalysed by a tetrazole-saccharinate Zn(II) complex under microwave radiation: The role of the ligand and the reaction mechanism

Herein we present an efficient methodology for the microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of benzyl alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes by using a novel and stable tetrazole-saccharinate zinc(II) catalyst, along with some insights into the reaction mechanism. This methodology is distinguished by the use of easily available and cheap reagents on the genesis of the zinc catalyst, mild reaction conditions, very short reaction periods (5–20 min) and no need to add an organic solvent. Furthermore, the use of TBHP (70percent. aq.) as oxidizing agent turn this protocol a convenient one for benzyl alcohol oxidation in yields up to 98percent.

The first total synthesis of melovinone, a nonrutaceous 3-methoxy-4-quinolone alkaloid isolated from Melochia tomentosa L., is reported. The target was acquired in a convergent fashion through the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between an ortho-nitrobenzoic acid acetonyl ester derivative prepared from vanillin and potassium 5-phenyl-1-pentyltrifluoroborate, obtained from β-phenethyl bromide. The coupling was followed by a chemoselective reduction of the nitro group and a microwave-Assisted and AcOH-promoted cyclization with rearrangement of the resulting acetonyl anthranilate. This afforded a pseudane intermediate, which was selectively methylated on the 3-OH. The synthetic pathway enabled to reach the objective in 11 steps and 18% overall yield. The 1 H NMR spectra of the synthetic and natural product were in full agreement.

An enantioselective, biomimetic organocatalytic synthesis of 4-arylquinolizidin-2-ones, key intermediates in the synthesis of several Lythraceae alkaloids, was developed. The methodology features S-proline-mediated Mannich/aza-Michael reactions of readily available arylideneacetones and Δ1-piperideine. The total syntheses of (-)-lasubine II and (+)-subcosine II as well as the formal syntheses of structurally related Lythraceae alkaloids were achieved. The use of Δ1-pyrroline in the Mannich/aza-Michael reaction provides enantiomerically enriched 5-arylindolizidin-7-ones, which are precursors to nonopiate antinociceptive agents.

A new series of biphenyl methylene indolinones has been designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against various cancer cell lines like DU-145 (prostate cancer cell line), 4T1 (mouse breast cancer cell line), MDA-MB-231 (human breast cancer cell line), BT-549 (human breast cancer cell line), T24 (human urinary bladder carcinoma cell line), and HeLa (cervical cancer cell line). Among the series, compound 10e showed potent in vitro cytotoxic activity against HeLa and DU-145 cancer cell lines with IC50 value of 1.74 ± 0.69 μM and 1.68 ± 1.06 μM respectively. To understand the underlying mechanism of most potent cytotoxic compound 10e, various mechanistic studies were carried out on DU-145 cell lines. Cell cycle analysis results revealed that these conjugates affect both G0/G1 and G2/M phase of the cycle, tubulin binding assay resulted that compound 10e interrupting microtubule network formation by inhibiting tubulin polymerization with IC50 value of 4.96 ± 0.05 μM. Moreover, molecular docking of 10e on colchicine binding site of the tubulin explains the interaction of 10e with tubulin. Clonogenic assay indicated inhibition of colony formation by compound 10e in a dose dependent manner. In addition, morphological changes were clearly observed by AO/EB and DAPI staining studies. Moreover, ROS detection using DCFDA, JC-1, and annexin V-FITC assays demonstrated the significant apoptosis induction by 10e.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a new potential target for anticancer drug discovery. A series of bromophenol-thiosemicarbazone hybrids as PARP-1 inhibitors were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antitumor activities. Among them, the most promising compound, 11, showed excellent selective PARP-1 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 29.5 nM) over PARP-2 (IC50 > 1000 nM) and potent anticancer activities toward the SK-OV-3, Bel-7402 and HepG2 cancer cell lines (IC50 = 2.39, 5.45, and 4.60 μM), along with inhibition of tumor growth in an in vivo SK-OV-3 cell xenograft model. Further study demonstrated that compound 11 played an antitumor role through multiple anticancer mechanisms, including the induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, cellular accumulation of DNA double-strand breaks, DNA repair alterations, inhibition of H2O2-triggered PARylation, antiproliferative effects via the production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, and autophagy. In addition, compound 11 displayed good pharmacokinetic characteristics and favorable safety. These observations demonstrate that compound 11 may serve as a lead compound for the discovery of new anticancer drugs.

A facile and efficient monodentate transient directing group strategy was developed to enable the palladium-catalyzed ortho-C(sp2)[sbnd]H bromination of benzaldehydes. A broad scope of benzaldehydes were transformed into the desired products by employing 2-amino-5-chlorobenzotrifluoride as a monodentate transient directing group, demonstrating good functional group tolerance. Mild reaction conditions and no requirement for a silver salt are also features of this strategy.
