A practical and general iron-catalyzed domino decarboxylation-oxidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids enabling aldehyde C-H methylation for the synthesis of methyl ketones has been developed. This mild, operationally simple method uses ambient air as the sole oxidant and tolerates sensitive functional groups for the late-stage functionalization of complex natural-product-derived and polyfunctionalized molecules.

The development of novel neuroprotection agents is of great significance for the treatment of ischemic stroke. In this study, a series of compounds comprising 2,2-dimethylbenzopyran groups and cinnamic acid groups have been synthesized. Preferential combination principles and bioisostere that improved the neuroprotective effect of the compounds were identified for this series via biological activity assay in vitro. Meanwhile, a functional reversal group of the acrylamide amide resulted in the most active compounds. Among them, BN-07 significantly improved the morphology of neurons and obviously increased cell survival rate of primary neurons induced by oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD), superior to clinically used anti-ischemic stroke drug edaravone (Eda). Overall, our findings may provide an alternative strategy for the design of novel anti-ischemic stroke agents with more potency than Eda.

(3S,4R)-23,28-Dihydroxyolean-12-en-3-yl (2E)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate (1 a), which possesses significant neuritogenic activity, was isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plant, Desmodium sambuense. To confirm the structure and to assess biological activity, we semi-synthesized 1 a from commercially available oleanolic acid. A series of novel 1 a derivatives was then designed and synthesized for a structure–activity relationship (SAR) study. All synthetic derivatives were characterized by analysis of spectral data, and their neuritogenic activities were evaluated in assays with PC12 cells. The SAR results indicate that the number and position of the hydroxy groups on the phenyl ring and the triterpene moiety, as well as the length of the (saturated or unsaturated) alkyl chain that links the phenyl ring with the triterpene critically influence neuritogenic activity. Among all the tested compounds, 1 e [(3S,4R)-23,28-dihydroxyolean-12-en-3-yl (2E)-3-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)acrylate] was found to be the most potent, inducing significant neurite outgrowth at 1 μm.

Myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD2) is an essential molecule which recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS), leading to initiation of inflammation through the activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) from propolis of honeybee hives could interfere interactions between LPS and the TLR4/MD2 complex, and thereby has promising anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we designed and synthesized 48 CAPE derivatives and evaluated their anti-inflammatory activities in mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) activated by LPS. The most active compound, 10s, was found to bind with MD2 with high affinity, which prevented formation of the LPS/MD2/TLR4 complex. The binding mode of 10s revealed that the major interactions with MD2 were established via two key hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Furthermore, 10s showed remarkable protective effects against LPS-caused ALI (acute lung injury) in vivo. Taken together, this work provides new lead structures and candidates as MD2 inhibitors for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Piperlongumine (PL) selectively targets a wide spectrum of cancer cells and induces their death by triggering various pathways, including apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy. However, the poor solubility is a serious concern for intensive study and clinical application. We synthesized its analogs 1–9 by replacement of the trimethoxyphenyl of PL with an N-heteroaromatic ring and/or not introduction of 2-Cl. These compounds improved aqueous solubility and displayed potent anticancer activity. The most active compound 9 selectively enhanced ROS levels in colon cancer cells and inhibited the cell proliferation but sparing non-tumor colon cells. Importantly, 9 significantly repressed tumor growth in an HCT-116 xenograft mouse model, suggesting that these N-heteroaromatic ring-based analogs of PL warrant further investigation.

8-Azacoumarins have emerged as a promising class of compounds but are rarely explored due to challenging access. A novel, general, and practical method is provided for this class of compounds. The key lactonization step employs trans-acrylic acid attached pyridine N-oxides as the starting material, with acetic anhydride as both the activation agent and the solvent. Multiple transformations were involved in this reaction, including conjugate addition, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, and elimination. These studies provide the basis for access to 8-azacoumarins, enabling future work including the discovery and development of novel coumarin-type drugs, fluorescent probes, photolabile protecting groups, and other active molecules.

The conformational as well as the structure-forming properties of E-3-(x-pyridyl)propenoic acids (x = 2, 3 or 4) have been studied with a combination of computational and spectroscopic methods. IR spectroscopy revealed that in the solid state the zwitterionic species predominate, while NMR measurements showed that dimers, kept together by strong CO?HO hydrogen bonds, were formed in a dipolar aprotic solvent (DMSO). In concentrated solution, extended aggregation occurred through the cooperative effect of (aromatic) C-H?N weak hydrogen bonds. Conformational search was performed at the HF/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. Comparison with experimental values as well as benchmarking calculations at several different levels of theory to probe the performance of the methods, B3LYP/6-31G++(d,p) method was found to be able to provide reasonable geometries as well as quantitative formation energies for the dimers and the tetramers, too.
