Pseudo-natural-product (NP) design combines natural product fragments to provide unprecedented NP-inspired compounds not accessible by biosynthesis, but endowed with biological relevance. Since the bioactivity of pseudo-NPs may be unprecedented or unexpected, they are best evaluated in target agnostic cell-based assays monitoring entire cellular programs or complex phenotypes. Here, the Cinchona alkaloid scaffold was merged with the indole ring system to synthesize indocinchona alkaloids by Pd-catalyzed annulation. Exploration of indocinchona alkaloid bioactivities in phenotypic assays revealed a novel class of azaindole-containing autophagy inhibitors, the azaquindoles. Subsequent characterization of the most potent compound, azaquindole-1, in the morphological cell painting assay, guided target identification efforts. In contrast to the parent Cinchona alkaloids, azaquindoles selectively inhibit starvation- and rapamycin-induced autophagy by targeting the lipid kinase VPS34.

Porous metal silicate (PMS) material PMS-11, consisting of uniformly distributed multi-metallic species inside the pores, is synthesized by using a discrete multi-metal coordination complex as the template, demonstrating high catalytic activity and selectivity in hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzenes by synergistically activating different reactant moleculesviaNi and Co transition metal centers, while GdIIILewis acid sites play a role in tuning the catalytic properties.

The development of active and selective non-noble metal-based catalysts for the chemoselective reduction of nitro compounds in aquo media under mild conditions is an attractive research area. Herein, the synthesis of subnanometric and stable cobalt nanoclusters, covered by N-doped carbon layers as core-shell (Co@NC-800), for the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes is reported. TheCo@NC-800catalyst was prepared by the pyrolysis of the Co(tpy)2complex impregnated on Vulcan carbon. In fact, the use of a molecular complex based on six N-Co bonds drives the formation of a well-defined and distributed cobalt core-shell nanocluster covered by N-doped carbon layers. In order to elucidate its nature, it has been fully characterized by using several advanced techniques. In addition, this as-prepared catalyst showed high activity, chemoselectivity and stability toward the reduction of nitro compounds with H2and under mild reaction conditions; water was used as a green solvent, improving the previous results based on cobalt catalysts. Moreover, theCo@NC-800catalyst is also active and selective for the one-pot synthesis of secondary aryl amines and isoindolinones through the reductive amination of nitroarenes. Finally, based on diffraction and spectroscopic studies, metallic cobalt nanoclusters with surface CoNxpatches have been proposed as the active phase in theCo@NC-800material.
