An efficient metal-free and practical method for the synthesis of disubstituted dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones via intermolecular radical tandem addition/cyclization was developed. This method provides a novel and straightforward route to 3-acyl-4-aryldihydro

This work deals with the design and synthesis of 18 barbituric acid derivatives bearing 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid and cinnamic acid scaffolds to find potent anticancer agents. The target molecules were obtained through Knoevenagel condensation and acylation reaction. The cytotoxicity was assessed by the MTT assay. Flowcytometry was performed to determine the cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, ROS levels and the loss of MMP. The ratios of GSH/GSSG and the MDA levels were determined by using UV spectrophotometry. The results revealed that introducing substitutions (CF3, OCF3, F) on the meta- of the benzyl ring of barbituric acid derivatives led to a considerable increase in the antiproliferative activities compared with that of corresponding ortho- and para-substituted barbituric acid derivatives. Mechanism investigation implied that the 1c could increase the ROS and MDA level, decrease the ratio of GSH/GSSG and MMP, and lead to cell cycle arrest. Further research is needed for structural optimization to enhance hydrophilicity, thereby improve the biological activity of these compounds.

The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel is a non-selective cation channel, which detects noxious stimuli leading to pain, itch and cough. However, the mechanism(s) of channel modulation by many of the known, non-reactive modulators has not been fully elucidated. N-Cinnamoylanthranilic acid derivatives (CADs) contain structural elements from the TRPA1 modulators cinnamaldehyde and flufenamic acid, so it was hypothesized that specific modulators could be found amongst them and more could be learnt about modulation of TRPA1 with these compounds. A series of CADs was therefore screened for agonism and antagonism in HEK293 cells stably transfected with WT-human (h)TRPA1, or C621A, F909A or F944A mutant hTRPA1. Derivatives with electron-withdrawing and/or electron-donating substituents were found to possess different activities. CADs with inductive electron-withdrawing groups were agonists with desensitising effects, and CADs with electron-donating groups were either partial agonists or antagonists. Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that the CADs do not undergo conjugate addition reaction with TRPA1, and that F944 is a key residue involved in the non-covalent modulation of TRPA1 by CADs, as well as many other structurally distinct non-reactive TRPA1 ligands already reported.

1,n-Metal shift is an elegant alternative approach enabling the functionalization of remote C-H bonds from simple precursors. In this work, we report a novel and simple Pd0-catalyzed domino reaction involving 1,4-palladium shift and C(sp3)-H activation and leading to (fused) five-membered rings. This method allowed access to a broad range of valuable arylidene γ-lactams and indanones and was applied to the formal synthesis of (-)-pyrrolam.

A series of cinnamic acid esters and their derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activities in vitro against four plant pathogenic fungi by using the mycelium growth rate method. Structure-activity relationship was derived also. Almost all of the compounds showed some inhibition activity on each of the fungi at 0.5 mM. Eight compounds showed the higher average activity with average EC50 values of 17.4-28.6 μg/mL for the fungi than kresoxim-methyl, a commercial fungicide standard, and ten compounds were much more active than commercial fungicide standards carbendazim against P. grisea or kresoxim-methyl against both P. grisea and Valsa Mali. Compounds C1 and C2 showed the higher activity with average EC50 values of 17.4 and 18.5 μg/mL and great potential for development of new plant antifungal agents. The structure-activity relationship analysis showed that both the substitution pattern of the phenyl ring and the alkyl group in the alcohol moiety significantly influences the activity. There exists complexly comprehensive effect between the substituents on the phenyl ring and the alkyl group in the alcohol moiety on the activity. Thus, cinnamic acid esters showed great potential the development of new antifungal agents for plant protection due to high activity, natural compounds or natural compound framework, simple structure, easy preparation, low-cost and environmentally friendly.

A series of tetradentate sp2N/sp3N hybrid chiral N4 ligands derived from rigid chiral diamines were synthesized, which enabled the first manganese-catalyzed enantioselective epoxidation of electron-deficient alkenes with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant. The reaction furnishes enantiomerically pure epoxy amides, epoxy ketones as well as epoxy esters in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.9% ee) with lower catalyst loading. Preliminary studies on structure–activity relationship demonstrated that maintaining comparatively lower electron-donating ability of the sp3N and relatively higher electron-donating ability of sp2N of the N4 ligands is beneficial to getting higher activity and selectivity, thus providing us a new view to understand epoxidation with H2O2.

UV light-mediated difunctionalization of alkenes through an aroyl radical addition/1,4-/1,2-aryl shift has been described. The resulted aroyl radical from a photocleavage reaction added to acrylamide compounds followed by cyclization led to the formation of oxindoles, whereas the addition to cinnamic amides aroused a unique 1,4-aryl shift reaction. Furthermore, the difunctionalization of alkenes of prop-2-en-1-ols was also achieved through aroyl radical addition and a sequential 1,2-aryl shift cascade reaction.

Novel imatinib amide derivatives (a1-28, b1-9) were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Among all the derivatives, compounds a4, a10, a21, b1 and b2 displayed the most significant ability of inhibiting K562 cell proliferation with the IC50 values of 0.67, 0.66, 0.65, 0.59 and 0.62 μM, respectively, indicating that these compounds were potent inhibitors of Bcr-Abl in leukemic K562 cells, comparable to the reference compound imatinib. Molecular docking study was performed to position compounds a21 and b1 into the active site of Abl to determine the probable binding modes

In an attempt to discover potential antibacterial agents against the increasing bacterial resistance, novel cinnamaldehyde derivatives as FtsZ inhibitors were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against nine significant pathogens using broth microdilution method, and their cell division inhibitory activity against four representative strains. In the in vitro antibacterial activity, the newly synthesized compounds generally displayed better efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 than the others. In particular, compounds 3, 8 and 10 exerted superior or comparable activity to all the reference drugs. In the cell division inhibitory activity, all the compounds showed the same trend as their in vitro antibacterial activity, exhibiting better activity against S. aureus ATCC25923 than the other strains. Additionally, compounds 3, 6, 7 and 8 displayed potent cell division inhibitory activity with an MIC value of below 1 1/4g/mL, over 256-fold better than all the reference drugs.
