Under conditions of kinetic control, the cis-diastereoselectivity of the Pictet-Spengler reaction between tryptophan esters and aldehydes can be controlled by varying the size of the ester group; the reaction proceeds in essentially quantitative yield wit

The effect of β-carboline motif as cap for HDAC inhibitors containing cinnamic acid as linker and benzamides as zinc binding group was examined in this study. A series of β-carboline-cinnamide conjugates have been synthesized and evaluated for their HDAC inhibitory activity and in vitro cytotoxicity against different human cancer cell lines. Almost all the compounds exhibited superior HDAC inhibitory activity than the standard drug Entinostat for in vitro enzymatic assay. Among the tested compounds, 7h displayed a noteworthy potency with an IC50 value of 0.70 ± 0.15 μM against HCT-15 cell line when compared to the standard drug Entinostat (IC50 of 3.87 ± 0.62 μM). The traditional apoptosis assays such as nuclear morphological alterations, AO/EB, DAPI, and Annexin-V/PI staining revealed the antiproliferative activity of 7h while depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential by JC-1 was observed in dose-dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis also unveiled the typical accumulation of cells in G2M phase and sub-G1/S phase arrest. In addition, immunoblot analysis for compound 7h on HCT-15 indicated selective inhibition of the protein expression of class I HDAC 2 and 3 isoforms. Molecular docking analysis of compound 7h revealed that it can prominent binding with the active pocket of the HDAC 2. These finding suggest that the compound 7h can be a promising lead candidate for further investigation in the development of novel anti-cancer drug potentially inhibiting HDACs.

Natural β-carboline alkaloids are ideal models for the discovery of pharmaceutically important entities. Various 1-substituted β-carbolines were synthesized from commercially inexpensive tryptophan and demonstrated significant in vitro antifungal activity against G. graminis. Significantly, compound 4m (EC50 = 0.45 μM) with carboxamide at 1-position displayed the best efficacy and nearly 20 folds enhancement in antifungal potential compared to Silthiopham (EC50 = 8.95 μM). Moreover, compounds 6, 7, and 4i exhibited excellent in vitro antifungal activities and in vivo protective and curative activities against B. cinerea and F. graminearum. Preliminary mechanism studies revealed that compound 4m caused reactive oxygen species accumulation, cell membrane destruction, and deregulation of histone acetylation. These findings indicated that 1-carbamoyl β-carboline can be selected as a promising model for the discovery of novel and broad-spectrum fungicide candidates.

The field of antifungal agent has become static and development of resistance by the pathogen as well as limited clinical efficacy of marketed drugs demand the constant development of new antifungals. The presence of hydrocarbon chain of specific length linked with various different heterocycles was found to be an important structural feature in various antifungal lead compounds. Based on the prominent antimicrobial activity of β-carboline derivatives, a set of C1 alkylated tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives were proposed to be active against fungi. To validate and confirm the role of suitable alkyl chains linked to a β-carboline scaffold, few related analogues having C1 aryl substituents were also synthesized in one step via classic Pictet-Spengler reaction. The synthesized library was evaluated for its antifungal activity against C. albicans, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. kefyr, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis and C. neoformans. One of the library members (compound 12c), with n-alkyl chain of eight carbons exhibited potent antifungal activity against C. glabrata and C. kefyr. The lead compound, being selectively toxic also demonstrated prominent synergy enhancing the potency of antifungal drugs up to 10-fold. The time kill kinetic studies confirmed the efficacy of compound 12c, where the results obtained were comparable to that of Amp B. FE-SEM analysis revealed the increased asymmetry, disintegration and roughness of cell surface which could be because of the possible interaction of compound 12c at membrane level or interference in cell wall structure. Apoptosis/necrosis detection assay confirmed the significant apoptotic activity in C. glabrata cells after 12c treatment which was responsible for the rapid killing of C. glabrata cells.

The tetrahydro-beta-carboline dimer derivative is as shown in a structural formula I, which is described in the specification, L-tryptophan and tryptamine are used as raw materials; a tetrahydro-beta-carboline monomer is generated through a Picet-Spengler reaction and aldehyde cyclization, then a tetrahydro-beta-carboline dimer is generated through acyl chloride connection and a click chemical reaction, the synthesis steps are simple, the raw materials are easy to obtain, the yield is high, and the tetrahydro-beta-carboline dimer has remarkable inhibitory activity on butyrylcholine esterase and A[beta]1-42 aggregation. According to the neural protective effect under three AD models on cells, after the cells are independently treated by A[beta]1-42, H2O2 and OA, the survival rate of the cells is low, and apoptosis or necrosis of the cells occurs. The compounds 11, 12, 13, 17 and 19 are used for co-treatment, the compounds 11, 12, 13, 17 and 19 successfully block A[beta]1-42, H2O2 and OA induced cell death, and it is proved that the compounds 11, 12, 13, 17 and 19 have a remarkable neural protective effect.

A series of novel 1-(substituted-phenyl)-3-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)-9H-β-carboline (8a-8i) and 1-(substituted-phenyl)-3-(5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-2-yl)-9H-β-carboline (9a-9h) derivatives, as well as their respective N-(chloroalkyl)-1-(substituted-phenyl)-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxamide precursors (6a-6i and 7a-7h), were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antileishmanial activity against promastigote and intracellular amastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis. Compounds 8d, 8i, 9e and 9h exhibited significant activity for both promastigote and amastigote forms, with IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) values ranging from 2.9 to 23.0 μM. In addition, spin label electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy studies were carried out for the most active compounds against L. amazonensis promastigotes. The studies indicated that the tested compounds cause strong stiffness in the parasite plasma membrane and are capable of inducing internal metalloproteins oxidation of the parasite, resulting in their cross-linking to skeletal proteins. Compounds 8d and 8i produced the largest effect, showing that the presence of oxazoline group at C-3 of β-carboline nucleus is important for antileishmanial activity.

A mild, efficient and environmentally benign method for synthesis of aromatic β-carbolines via Cu(ii)-catalyzed oxidation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THβCs) was developed, in which air (O2) was used as the clean oxidant. This method has advantages such as environmentally friendliness, mildness, very good tolerance of functional groups, high yielding and easy experiment operation. In addition, this new methodology was successfully applied in the efficient and practical total syntheses of β-carboline alkaloids perlolyrine and flazin.
