Bifunctional thiosquaramide catalyzed asymmetric reduction of dihydro-β-carbolines and enantioselective synthesis of (-)-coerulescine and (-)-horsfiline by oxidative rearrangement

Tetrahydro-β-carboline (THBC) is a tricyclic ring system that can be found in a large number of bioactive alkaloids. Herein, we report a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of enantiopure THBCs through a chiral thiosquaramide (11b) catalyzed imine reduction of dihydro-β-carbolines (17a-f). The in situ generated Pd-H employed as hydride source in the reaction of differently substituted chiral THBCs (18a-f) afforded high selectivities (R isomers, up to 96% ee) and good isolated yields (up to 88%). Moreover, the chiral thiosquaramide used also afforded exceptional catalyst activity in the syntheses of (-)-coerulescine (5) and (-)-horsfiline (6) with excellent enantioselectivities up to 98% and 93% ee, respectively, via an enantioselective oxidative rearrangement approach.

Metal free one pot synthesis of Β-carbolines via a domino Pictet-Spengler reaction and aromatization

A convenient and efficient metal free, atom economical flexible synthesis of β-carbolines involving a domino Pictet-Spengler reaction and aromatization in oxygen atmosphere in N-methyl-2-pyrollidone (NMP) is described. Variety of aryl, heteroaryl and aliphatic aldehydes were found to be good substrates for this methodology. Several β-carbolines (6a-6t) and β-carboline methyl esters (7a-7e) were synthesized using this methodology.The same reaction carried out in argon atmosphere in the presence of catalytic amount of acid in NMP furnished, tetrahydro-β-carbolines (4a-4g).

Organic base-promoted efficient dehydrogenative/decarboxylative aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines into β-carbolines under air

Organic base DBN has been identified as an efficient reagent for promoting the dehydrogenative/decarboxylative aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines under air atmosphere, to access the corresponding β-carbolines in moderate to good yields. The utility of this protocol for the gram-scale synthesis of β-carboline alkaloids eudistomin U (7) and harmane (10) has also been demonstrated.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of asymmetric dimeric β-carboline derivatives as potential antitumor agents

A series of newly asymmetric dimeric β-carbolines with a spacer of 4–6 methylene units between the indole nitrogen and the harmine oxygen were synthesized. Structures of all the novel synthesized compounds were confirmed by their spectral and analytical studies. All of the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against nine cancer cell lines. The results revealed that compounds 7c, 7o and 7s exhibited the highest cytotoxic activities with IC50 values of less than 20 μM against the tumor cell lines tested. Acute toxicities and antitumor efficacies of the selected compounds in mice were also evaluated, and compound 7o exhibited potent antitumor activities with the tumor inhibition rate of over 40%. The wound healing assay displayed a specific impairment in the motility of the HT-29 cells, which suggested the anti-metastatic potential of compound 7o. Moreover, compound 7o had obvious angiogenesis inhibitory effects in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. Preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis indicated that: (1) 3-phenylpropyl substituent at the N9-position of the indole ring was the most suitable group giving rise to potent cytotoxic agents; (2) the spacer length affected the antitumor potencies, and four methylene units were more favorable.

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Tetrahydro-β-carbolines and β-Carbolines

A microwave-mediated Pictet-Spengler procedure utilizing 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was developed to provide tetrahydro-β-carboline salts in high yields. Reactions are complete in 20 minutes or less and the product precipitates from solution in high yields and purity, negating the need for liquid-liquid extraction or column chromatography. This method tolerates a wide range of functionality and can be performed on milligram to gram scales. A subsequent microwave-mediated aromatization of the synthesized tetrahydro-β-carbolines to β-carbolines was also developed utilizing catalytic Pd/C. The aromatization is complete in 60 min or less with most substrates requiring minimal purification. A microwave-assisted Pictet-Spengler procedure was developed to afford tetrahydro-β-carboline salts in high yields with no liquid-liquid extraction or chromatography required. A subsequent microwave-assisted aromatization procedure was also developed to provide β-carbolines in high yields requiring limited purification.

Design, synthesis and in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities of novel bivalent β-carbolines

A series of bivalent β-carbolines with a spacer of three to ten methylene units between the indole nitrogen was synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents. The results demonstrated that compounds 18c, 21b, 25a and 31b exhibited strong cytotoxic activities with IC50 value of lower than 20 μM against four tumor cell lines. Acute toxicities and antitumor efficacies of the selected compounds in mice were also evaluated, compounds 18b, 21b, 26a and 31b exhibited potent antitumor activities with tumor inhibition rate of over 40% in animal models. Preliminary structure-activity relationships analysis indicated that (1) the spacer length affected antitumor potencies, and four to six methylene units were more favorable; (2) the introduction of appropriate substituent into position-1 of β-carboline facilitated antitumor potencies.
