A series of novel 1,5-Diphenyl-2-penten-1-one analogues (7a–h, 8a–h) with piperazine moiety have been designed and synthesized on the basis of natural product 1,5-Diphenyl-2-penten-1-one (I). All the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for anti-plant pathogenic fungi activities and insecticidal activities. The results indicated that most of these analogues exhibited moderate antifungal activities and moderate to good insecticidal activities. Amongst them, the most potent 7c, 7e and 7h keep a mortality of 100% against larva of mosquito at the concentration of 1?mg/L. Initial structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis showed that, a methyl group can influence the biological activities of these compounds significantly, the compounds with N′-unsubstituted piperazine showed much better antifungal activities and larvicidal activity against mosquito than the compounds with N′-methylated piperazine. In addition, the larvicidal activity against mosquito had sharply decline when the substituent on benzene ring was changed from 4-position to 2 or 3-position.

The first intermolecular asymmetric Michael addition of nitrogen-nucleophiles to α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids was achieved through a new type of arylboronic acid equipped with chiral aminothiourea. The use of BnONH2 as a nucleophile gives a range of enantioenriched β-(benzyloxy)amino acid derivatives in good yields and with high enantioselectivity (up to 90% yield, 97% enantiomeric excess (ee)). The obtained products are efficiently converted to optically active β-amino acid and 1,2-diamine derivatives.

We describe herein the structural optimization of new piperamide analogues, designed from two natural prototypes, piperine 1 and piperdardine 2, obtained from Piper tuberculatum Jacq. (Piperaceae). Molecular modeling studies using semiempirical AM1 method were made in order to establish rational modifications to optimize them by molecular simplification. The targeted compounds (10) and (11) were respectively obtained using benzaldehyde (12) and para-anisaldehyde (13) as starting materials. 1H NMR spectra showed that the target compounds were diastereoselectively obtained as the (E)-isomer, the same geometry of the natural prototypes. These new synthetic amides presented significant hypotensive effects in cardiovascular essays using in vivo methodologies. Compound 11 (N-[5-(4′-methoxyphenyl)-2(E)-pentenoyl] thiomorpholine) showed a potency 10,000 times greater than its prototype 5, evidencing an optimization of the molecular architecture for this class of hypotensive drug candidates.
