Carbazoles have attracted high interest among synthetic chemists due to their unique structural features and potential pharmacological activities. Compared to linear aryliodoniums, cyclic diphenyleneiodoniums are more inert and have not attracted much attention to their application as building blocks. Employing our synthetic strategy, diversified carbazoles can be efficiently obtained from a single cyclic diphenyleneiodonium under mild conditions. The reactions catalyzed by cop- per(II) acetate have provided a variety of carbazoles in modest to good yields with a broad range of amines including anilines, aliphatic amines and sulfon amides. Moreover, one of the obtained carbazoles has displayed an outstanding ability to protect HT-22 neuronal cells from the damage induced by neurotoxins glutamate and homocysteic acid.

In this work, a set of structurally diverse synthetic carbazoles was screened for their anticancer activities. According to structure-activity relationship studies, carbazoles with an N-substituted sulfonyl group exhibited better anticancer activity. Moreover, compound 8h was discovered to show the most potent anticancer effects on Capan-2 cells by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase. Finally, the in vivo study demonstrated that 8h prevented the tumor growth in PANC-1 and Capan-2 xenograft models without apparent toxicity.

Dibenzothiophene dioxides, which are readily prepared through oxidation of the parent dibenzothiophenes, undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution with anilines intermolecularly and then intramolecularly to yield the corresponding carbazoles in a single operation. The "aromatic metamorphosis" of dibenzothiophenes into carbazoles does not require any heavy metals. This strategy is also applicable to the synthesis of indoles. Since electron-deficient thiaarene dioxides exhibit interesting reactivity, which is not observed for that the corresponding electron-rich azaarenes, a combination of a thiaarene-dioxide-specific reaction with the SNAr-based aromatic metamorphosis allows transition-metal-free construction of difficult-to-prepare carbazoles.

Carbazole moiety is an important scaffold with a variety of biological applications, for example, anti-oxidative stress. Our previous synthesized carbazoles were screened for their neuroprotective properties against two individual oxidative stresses. Some of the new carbazole derivatives were observed with modest to good neuroprotective effects on neuronal cells HT22 against cell injury induced by glutamate or homocysteic acid (HCA). Substituents introduced to the carbazole ring system play crucial roles in their biological activities. In particular, a bulky group favors the neuroprotective activity of the compounds. One of the new compounds, 6, showed the best neuroprotective effects, which might result from its anti-oxidative activity with a GSH-independent mechanism. These findings might provide an alternative strategy for the development of novel carbazole derivatives for the treatment of CNS diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
