Access to Polycyclic Indole-3,4-Fused Nine-Membered Ring via Cascade 1,6-Hydride Transfer/Cyclization

A cascade aldimine condensation/1,6-hydride transfer/Mannich-type cyclization of indole-derived phenylenediamine with aldehydes was developed for one-step construction of a polycyclic indole-3,4-fused skeleton. Aldehyde serves as a key to start the whole process, including 1,6-hydride transfer enabled δ-C(sp3)-H activation of the secondary amine. The challenges of construction of medium-sized rings are addressed via hydride transfer chemistry.

Optimisation of 2-(N-phenyl carboxamide) triazolopyrimidine antimalarials with moderate to slow acting erythrocytic stage activity

Malaria is a devastating parasitic disease caused by parasites from the genus Plasmodium. Therapeutic resistance has been reported against all clinically available antimalarials, threatening our ability to control the disease and therefore there is an ongoing need for the development of novel antimalarials. Towards this goal, we identified the 2-(N-phenyl carboxamide) triazolopyrimidine class from a high throughput screen of the Janssen Jumpstarter library against the asexual stages of the P. falciparum parasite. Here we describe the structure activity relationship of the identified class and the optimisation of asexual stage activity while maintaining selectivity against the human HepG2 cell line. The most potent analogues from this study were shown to exhibit equipotent activity against P. falciparum multidrug resistant strains and P. knowlesi asexual parasites. Asexual stage phenotyping studies determined the triazolopyrimidine class arrests parasites at the trophozoite stage, but it is likely these parasites are still metabolically active until the second asexual cycle, and thus have a moderate to slow onset of action. Non-NADPH dependent degradation of the central carboxamide and low aqueous solubility was observed in in vitro ADME profiling. A significant challenge remains to correct these liabilities for further advancement of the 2-(N-phenyl carboxamide) triazolopyrimidine scaffold as a potential moderate to slow acting partner in a curative or prophylactic antimalarial treatment.

PIFA-Promoted, Solvent-Controlled Selective Functionalization of C(sp2)-H or C(sp3)-H: Nitration via C-N Bond Cleavage of CH3NO2, Cyanation, or Oxygenation in Water

A novel nitration (via C(sp3)-N breaking/C(sp2)-N formation with CH3NO2) mediated by [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA) is described. The NO2 transfer from CH3NO2 to the aromatic group of the substrate is possible with careful selection of the solvent, NaX, and oxidant. In addition, the solvent-controlled C(sp2)-H functionalization can shift to an α-C(sp3)-H functionalization (cyanation or oxygenation) of the α-C(sp3)-H of cyclic amines.

Chemistry of the pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole antitumor agents: Influence of the 7-substituent on the ability to alkylate DNA and inhibit topoisomerase II

This study addresses the influence the 7-substituent on the cytotoxicity of pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole quinones possessing a 6-aziridinyl group (PBIs) and a 6-acetamido group (APBIs). Reduction of a PBI to the aziridinyl hydroquinone results in both nucl
