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.

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.

N-chlorosuccinimide-promoted regioselective sulfenylation of imidazoheterocycles at room temperature

Regioselective sulfenylation of imidazoheterocycles with thiophenols at room temperature is reported. Sulfenylation is promoted by N-chlorosuccinimide under metal-free conditions with a broad range of substrate scopes.
