The combination between two well-studied bioactive compounds melatonin and salicylic acid with proper modifications unexpectedly creates a sharp pair of “scissors” cutting off the vicious connection between inflammation and cancer by targeting a key contributor Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription 3 (STAT3) in the two pathological processes. A representative compound P-3 with IC50 values on each tested cell line ranging from 7.37 to 18.62 μM among the designed melatonin derivatives is equipped with the ability of curbing inflammation-promoting cancer by down-regulating the expression, activation and nuclear translocation of STAT3, breaking the feedforward loop of STAT3 activation by decreasing the expression of pro-tumorigenic cytokines, and inducing cell apoptosis through ROS triggered Cyto-c/Caspase-3 pathway. This study suggests that the melatonin derivative P-3 is likely to become a promising chemical structure for developing the novel anti-cancer agents taking effect through hindering the mutual-promoting processes between inflammation and cancer.

Cholinesterase namely, acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase (AChE and BChE, respectively), has been recognized as a primary class of enzyme that hydrolyzes the acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter in synaptic junctions. Diminished levels of the neurotransmitter in synaptic junction lead to Alzheimerís disease (AD). Inhibition of cholinesterase is thus, an attractive strategy for AD treatment. The study includes the synthesis and characterization of a series of 2-, 3- and 4-aminobenzoic acid derivatives (1a?5c), their biological screening against cholinesterase enzyme and molecular docking study to demonstrate putative binding modes. Antioxidant potential of the synthesized series was also determined. The cholinesterase enzyme inhibition assay showed that compound 5b has the highest inhibition potential against acetylcholinesterase with an IC50 value of 1.66 ± 0.03 μM while in case of butyrylcholinesterase, compound 2c has the highest inhibitory potential with an IC50 value of 2.67 ± 0.05 μM. Molecular docking studies supports the results of enzyme inhibition potential with binding energy value ?G = -9.54 Kcal mol-1 for compound 5b in case for acetylcholinesterase while for butyrylcholinesterase, ?G = -5.53 Kcal mol-1 was obtained for compound 2c. The synthesized series of compounds also shows mild to moderate antioxidant potential. The benzoyl- containing compounds shows better antioxidant activity as compared to other derivatives of the synthesized series. Based on the molecular docking studies and enzyme inhibition potential, the synthesized series of compounds can be regarded as potent cholinesterase inhibitors and can be used for designing and synthesizing more potent drugs for Alzheimerís disease and neurodegenerative diseases.

A transition-metal-free, K2S2O8-mediated intramolecular oxidative nitrogenation/oxygenation of C(sp3)-H in N-aryl benzylic amines followed by oxidation at the benzylic center has been developed for the synthesis of benzamidine/benzoxazine heterocycles, providing an expedient access to quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, N-aryl-2-arylbenzimidazoles, and 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones. A considerable amount of work dealing with the mechanistic study to understand the crucial intramolecular cyclization step largely favors an iminium ion as the key intermediate.

We have developed a practical and efficient synthesis of 2-phenyl-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazine-4-one derivatives through copper catalyzed tandem reaction of 2-iodobenzoic acid with arylmethanamines under aerobic conditions. Compared to the literature methods toward the synthesis of 2-phenyl-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazine-4-one, the synthetic method reported in this Letter has broad substrate scope, mild reaction condition, and uses an inexpensive catalyst.

A novel, metal-free oxidative intramolecular Mannich reaction was developed between secondary amines and unmodified ketones, affording a simple and direct access to a broad range of 2-arylquinolin-4(1H)-ones through C(sp3)-H activation/C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond formation from readily available N-arylmethyl-2-aminophenylketones, using TEMPO as the oxidant and KOtBu as the base.

A strategy for the N-benzylation/benzylic C-H benzylation cascade of anilines by the π-benzylpalladium system using a water-soluble palladium(0)/sodium diphenylphosphinobenzene-3-sulfonate (TPPMS) catalyst and benzyl alcohol in water has been developed. This tandem process is devised as a novel and efficient synthetic route for N-(1,2-diphenylethyl)anilines. Benzylic C-H activation of a mono-N-benzylated intermediate with a π-benzylpalladium(II) complex affords a bis-π-benzylated palladium(II) intermediate. The nucleophilic η1-σ-benzyl anion ligand attacks the electrophilic η3-π-benzyl ligand to give a dibenzylated product. The intermolecular competition between mono-N-benzylaniline and its monodeuterated form (monodeuterated at the benzylic group) with benzyl alcohol gave a KIE=4.6, suggesting that C-H bond cleavage was involved in the rate-determining step. Hammett studies on the rate constants of benzylation by various substituted anthranilic acids and mono-N-benzylanilines show a good correlation between the log(kX/kH) and the σ values of the respective substituents. From the slope, negative ρ values are obtained, suggesting that there is a build-up of positive charge in the transition state. The reaction of anilines with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups affords the corresponding N-(1,2-diphenylethyl)anilines in moderate to good yields (54-86%). Interestingly, the reaction of anthranilic acids proceeded smoothly to give only the corresponding dibenzylated products in good to excellent yields (70-87%). The carboxyl group of the anthranilic acids acts as a directing group in the benzylic C-H activation process.

Palladium-catalyzed benzylation of unprotected anthranilic acids with benzyl alcohols in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 (5 mol %) and sodium diphenylphosphinobenzene-3-sulfonate (TPPMS, 10 mol %) in water at 120-C for 16 h gave only dibenzylated anthranilic acids in good yields. Water may play important roles for the smooth generation of the (?3-benzyl)palladium species by activation of the hydroxyl group of the benzyl alcohol. 2011 American Chemical Society.

The synthesis and optimization of a class of trisubstituted quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione cPLA2α inhibitors are described. Utilizing pharmacophores that were found to be important in our indole series, we discovered inhibitors with reduced lipophilicity and improved aqueous solubility. These compounds are active in whole blood assays, and cell-based assay results indicate that prevention of arachidonic acid release arises from selective cPLA2α inhibition.

We have developed an efficient copper-catalyzed method for the synthesis of N-alkylanthranilic acids. The protocol uses inexpensive copper(I) iodide/racemic 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol (rac-BINOL) as the catalyst/ligand system, readily available 2-halobenzoic acids and aliphatic amines as the starting materials, the coupling reactions were performed at room temperature, and various functionalities in the substrates were tolerated.
