N-Hydroxyphthalimide catalysts as bioactive pro-oxidants

The catalytic role of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) in promoting free-radical hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions, well-documented for processes of industrial and synthetic interest, is here investigated for the first time in a biological environment. While NHPI by itself did not show any bioactivity, selected NHPI-derivatives (NHPIDs) revealed the ability to activate the intracellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing the depletion of glutathione (GSH) levels and an increase in oxidative stress (OS). The evident bioactivity of some of these derivatives resulted in a significant reduction of the viability in osteosarcoma MG-63, suggesting a new, potential role of NHPIDs as pro-oxidant drugs. The key role of the N-OH group in promoting oxidative stress is demonstrated.

Catalyst comprising a cyclic imide compound and process for producing organic compounds using the catalyst

A catalyst includes a cyclic imide compound having an N-substituted cyclic imide skeleton represented by following Formula (I): wherein X is an oxygen atom or a hydroxyl group, and having a solubility parameter of less than or equal to 26 [(MPa)?] as determined by Fedors method. The catalyst may further comprise a metallic compound. By allowing (A) a compound capable of forming a radical to react with (B) a radical scavenging compound in the presence of the catalyst, an addition or substitution reaction product between the compound (A) and the compound (B) or a derivative thereof can be obtained.
