(S)-2,15-Cl2-DHTP-boron complex catalyst for the asymmetric Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 2′-hydroxychalcones and dienes was developed and tested. The resulting cyclohexenes with three chiral centers were obtained in high yields (up to 98%) with excellent stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 endo/exo, >99% ee). This catalytic system features high efficiency, broad substrate scopes, and mild reaction conditions. In addition, a DFT study was performed to explain the stereochemical course of the asymmetric induction.

The effect of aryl substitution on various aspects of the interconversion of ortho-hydroxychalcones and flavanones has been studied using multiple spectroscopic techniques. Derivatization of the core scaffold predictably alters the midpoint pH of this equilibration process suggesting its viability for application as a functional colorimetric molecular switch.

Aims: The role of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) in tumorigenesis has made it an attractive anticancer target. A systematic approach for development of novel compounds as TrxR inhibitors is currently lacking. Structurally diversified TrxR inhibitors share in common electrophilic propensities for the sulfhydryl groups, among which include the Michael reaction acceptors containing an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety. We aimed to identify features among structurally diversified Michael acceptor-based compounds that would yield a strong TrxR inhibitory character. Results: Structurally dissimilar Michael acceptor-based natural compounds such as isobutylamides, zerumbone, and shogaols (SGs) were found to possess a poor TrxR inhibitory activity, indicating that a sole Michael acceptor moiety was insufficient to produce TrxR inhibition. The 1,7-diphenyl-hept-3-en-5-one pharmacophore in 3-phenyl-3-SG, a novel SG analog that possessed comparable TrxR inhibitory and antiproliferative potencies as 6-SG, was modified to yield 1,5-diphenyl-pent-1-en-3-one (DPPen) and 1,3-diphenyl-pro-1-en-3-one (DPPro, also known as chalcone) pharmacophores. These Michael acceptor-centric pharmacophores, when substituted with the hydroxyl and fluorine groups, gave rise to analogs displaying a TrxR inhibitory character positively correlated to their antiproliferative potencies. Lead analogs 2,2′-diOH-5,5′-diF-DPPen and 2-OH-5-F-DPPro yielded a half-maximal TrxR inhibitory concentration of 9.1 and 10.5 μM, respectively, after 1-h incubation with recombinant rat TrxR, with the C-terminal selenocysteine residue found to be targeted. Innovation: Identification of Michael acceptor-centric pharmacophores among diversified compounds demonstrates that a systematic approach to discover and develop Michael acceptor-based TrxR inhibitors is feasible. Conclusion: A strong TrxR inhibitory character correlated to the antiproliferative potency is attributed to structural features that include an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety centered in a DPPen or DPPro pharmacophore bearing hydroxyl and fluorine substitutions.

Your CHOice! An efficient RhIII-catalyzed dehydrogenative Heck reaction (DHR) of salicylaldehydes with different classes of olefins extends the oxidative Heck reaction to aldehyde C-H bonds. Several structural motifs similar to natural products and bioactive molecules such as aurones, flavones, 2'-hydroxychalcones, and flavanones could be efficiently produced. Initial mechanistic studies give insight into the reaction mechanism. Copyright

Propafenone, a class Ic antiarrythmic drug, inhibits growth of cultured Plasmodium falciparum. While the drug's potency is significant, further development of propafenone as an antimalarial would require divorcing the antimalarial and cardiac activities as well as improving the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug. A small array of propafenone analogues was designed and synthesized to address the cardiac ion channel and PK liabilities. Testing of this array revealed potent inhibitors of the 3D7 (drug sensitive) and K1 (drug resistant) strains of P. falciparum that possessed significantly reduced ion channel effects and improved metabolic stability. Propafenone analogues are unusual among antimalarial leads in that they are more potent against the multidrug resistant K1 strain of P. falciparum compared to the 3D7 strain.

Flavonoids are a class of natural products, found in a wide range of vascular plants and dietary components. Their low toxicity and extensive biological activities, including anti-cancer and anti-bacterial, have made them attractive candidates to serve as therapeutic agents for many diseases. Herein, we disclose a highly efficient synthetic method of CuI-catalyzed cascade oxa-Michael-oxidation, using chalcones as substrates, mediated by the ionic liquid [bmim][NTf2] at a low temperature. This efficient synthetic method has demonstrated high synthetic utility and can afford flavones in good to high yields (up to 98%).

Fourteen 4-Aryl-4H-chromeno[4,3-d][1,2,3] selenadiazole derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of fla-vonone-4-semicarbazones with SeO2. The structures of the target compounds 1a-n were elucidated by 1H NMR, IR spectra, ESI-MS and elemental analyses. The preliminary cytotoxic activities of 1a-n against K562, KB, A549, SMC-7721 and SGC-7901 cell lines were evaluated by MTT method, indicating that most compounds displayed moderate to good antiproliferative activities against K562 and KB cell lines. Compounds 1m and 1n, the most potent ones, were promising template for development of novel potent antitumor agents.

The hypothesis that clinical side effects of the aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI) sorbinil were related to its hydantoin ring led to a bioisosteric analysis and replacement of the hydantoin by a spiro hydroxy acetic acid moiety as in 40.These hydroxy acids, compared to hydantoins, showed a similar potency increase on chroman 2-methyl substitution, a similar orthogonal relationship of acidic to aromatic moieties, and similar ARI enantioselectivity.In this series the six-membered spiro hydroxy acetic acid anion array is a bioisostere for a spiro hydantoin anion and leads to ARIs with excellent in vivo activity.In vitro and in vivo activity was improved over 40 by chroman cis 2-methylation as in 4 and by aromatic 6,7-halogen substitution.Compounds with the best acute in vivo activity in rats were compared for chronic in vivo activity.The highest tissue levels and best chronic in vivo activities were found in the racemic 6,7-dichloro and 6-fluoro-7-chloro analogues 18 and 23.ARI activity was enantioselective for 58 and 60, the 2R,4R-enantiomers of 18 and 23. 7-Chloro-6-fluoro-cis-4-hydroxy-2(R)-methyl-chroman-4-acetic acid (60) was selected for phase 1 clinical trials and did not exhibit sorbinil-like hypersensitivity side effects.
