Novel drug regimens against tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed and may be developed by targeting essential enzymes of Mtb that sustain the pathogenicity of tuberculosis. In the present investigation, series of compounds (5a-f and 6a-f) based on a naturally occurring rugosaflavonoid moiety were evaluated by in silico molecular modeling studies against β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase (MabA) (PDB ID: IUZN) and pantothenate kinase (PanK) (PDB ID: 3AF3). Compounds 5a, 5c, 5d, and 6c, which had docking scores of -8.29, -8.36, -8.17 and -7.39 kcal mol-1, respectively, displayed interactions with MabA that were better than those of isoniazid (-6.81 kcal mol-1). Similarly, compounds 5a, 5c, 5d, and 6c, which had docking scores of -7.55, -7.64, -7.40 and -6.7 kcal mol-1, respectively, displayed interactions with PanK that were comparable to those of isoniazid (-7.64 kcal mol-1). Because of their docking scores, these compounds were screened in vitro against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (Mtb) using an XRMA protocol. Among the screened compounds, the dihydrorugosaflavonoid derivatives 5a, 5c, and 5d had IC50 values of 12.93, 8.43 and 11.3 μg mL-1, respectively, and exhibited better inhibitory activity than the parent rugosaflavonoid derivatives. The rugosaflavonoid derivative 6c had an IC50 value of 17.57 μg mL-1. The synthesized compounds also displayed inhibitory activity against the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. The present study will be helpful for the further development of these molecules into antitubercular lead candidates.

In this work, combined time-resolved spectroscopies of femtosecond transient absorption, nanosecond transient absorption, and DFT calculations were performed to unravel the photocyclization reaction mechanisms of selected dibenzoylmethane (DBM) derivatives, including 2-chloro-1,3-diphenylpropan-1,3-dione (1a), 2-chloro-1-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropan-1,3-dione (1b), 2-chloro-2-fluoro-1,3-diphenylpropan-1,3-dione (1c), and 2-chloro-2-fluoro-1,3-di(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-1,3-dione (1d). Photocyclization reaction mechanisms for 1a and 1b are similar, where a C-Cl heterolysis occurs yielding an α-ketocation intermediate, followed by cyclization to generate the cation species. On the other hand, 1c and 1d undergo dechlorination primarily producing a radical species, which further experiences cyclization yielding cyclized radical species. The dominant factor leading to the different reaction mechanisms is the involvement of a fluorine atom bonded at α-C. Due to the meta-effect, the p-methoxy substitution on the benzene ring inhibits the photocyclization reaction and reduces the yield of photocyclization.

We synthesized [6,6,6]- and [6,6,7]-tricyclic compounds via intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition by gold or copper catalysts. Substrates for cyclization were prepared by coupling reactions between eight types of diyne and four types of aromatic moieties. We have successfully synthesized eleven tricyclic compounds.
Palladium-Catalyzed Chlorocarbonylation of Aryl (Pseudo)Halides Through In Situ Generation of Carbon Monoxide

An efficient palladium-catalyzed chlorocarbonylation of aryl (pseudo)halides that gives access to a wide range of carboxylic acid derivatives has been developed. The use of butyryl chloride as a combined CO and Cl source eludes the need for toxic, gaseous carbon monoxide, thus facilitating the synthesis of high-value products from readily available aryl (pseudo)halides. The combination of palladium(0), Xantphos, and an amine base is essential to promote this broadly applicable catalytic reaction. Overall, this reaction provides access to a great variety of carbonyl-containing products through in situ transformation of the generated aroyl chloride. Combined experimental and computational studies support a reaction mechanism involving in situ generation of CO.
