Design, synthesis and anticancer activity of sulfenylated imidazo-fused heterocycles

We report herein, the design, synthesis and study of anticancer properties of sulfenylated 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and their analogues. A set of twenty sulfenylated imidazo[1, 2-a]pyridine derivatives were synthesized. Whereby elusive amendments to the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine motif confer dramatic changes in functional affinity of a novel action to modulate anticancer activity in seven different human cancer cell lines i.e.: MDA MB 231 (breast), HepG2 (liver), Hela (cervical), A549 (lung), U87MG (glioblastoma), SKMEL-28 (skin melanoma) and DU-145 (prostate) by employing MTT assay. Among the series, compounds 4e (naphthalene), 4f (styrene) and 4h (thiomethyl) showed potent activity towards human liver cancer cells HepG2. Cell cycle analysis results revealed that these compounds arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase and induced apoptosis in human liver cancer cells HepG2. It was further confirmed by Hoechst staining, Measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and Annexin V-FITC assay.

Multicomponent Synthesis of Imidazo[1,2- a]pyridines: Aerobic Oxidative Formation of C-N and C-S Bonds by Flavin-Iodine-Coupled Organocatalysis

Herein, we report an aerobic oxidative C-N bond-forming process that enables the facile synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and takes advantage of a coupled organocatalytic system that uses flavin and iodine. Furthermore, the dual catalytic system can be applied to the one-pot, three-step synthesis of 3-thioimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from aminopyridines, ketones, and thiols.

Copper-Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis of Chalcogen-Benzothiazoles/Imidazo[1,2- a ]pyridines with Sulfur/Selenium Powder and Aryl Boronic Acids

An efficient and convenient copper-catalyzed oxidative chalcogenation of benzothiazoles and imidazo[1,2- a ]pyridines with sulfur/selenium powder and aryl boronic acids was developed. This procedure allows access to a wide range of structurally diverse arylchalcogen-substituted benzothiazoles/imidazo[1,2- a ]pyridines in good yields and with good functional group tolerance. A biological evaluation revealed that some of the obtained products exhibited in vitro antiproliferative activities on human-derived lung, stomach, esophageal, and breast cancer cell lines.

Copper-catalyzed three-component reaction of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine with elemental sulfur and arylboronic acid to produce sulfenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines

In this work, an efficient copper-catalyzed three-component reaction for the synthesis of sulfenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines using elemental sulfur as the sulfenylating agents has been developed. The reaction could proceed smoothly with a high degree of functional group tolerance and provide the desired products in moderate to good yield.

C3 Sulfenylation of N-Heteroarenes in Water under Catalyst-Free Conditions

A method for the catalyst-free C–H sulfenylation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines by using sulfonothioates as an odorless thioarylated reagent in aqueous medium was developed. This protocol was used for a variety of substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with broad functional-group tolerance and was extended to the sulfenylation of indoles and imidazothiazoles. The sulfonothioates were activated exclusively in aqueous medium rather than in an organic solvent, and the feasibility of the process for scale-up studies was demonstrated.

Iodine-triphenylphosphine mediated sulfenylation of imidazoheterocycles with sodium sulfinates

An efficient approach to sulfenyl imidazoheterocycles has been developed via iodine-triphenylphosphine mediated direct sulfenylation of imidazoheterocycles with sodium sulfinates. The reactions proceed smoothly under transition-metal-free conditions with a broad range of substrate scope, giving the desired products in moderate to excellent yields. This journal is
