We previously reported a series of p53-elevating anthraquinone compounds with considerable cytotoxicity for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. To further develop this class of compounds, we examined the effect of a few key structural features on the anticancer structure–activity relationship (SAR) in ALL cells. The active analogs showed comparable cytotoxicity and upregulation of p53 but did not induce significant downregulation of MDM2 as seen with the lead compound AQ-101, indicating the importance of the anthraquinone core scaffold for MDM2 regulation. The result from the current study not only contributes to the SAR framework of these anthraquinone derivatives but also opens up new chemical space for further optimization work.

Background: A series of new class of twenty four 1, 4-benzodizepines were designed and by using molecular docking study with GABAA receptor, high scoring fourteen molecules were synthesized from this library. Binding affinity of ligands towards GABAA was evaluated on the basis of dock score and bonding interactions like hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bonds and pi-stacking. Methods: All compounds were found to possess a good dock score, but varied in the formation of bonding interactions. Methoxy group substituted ligands showed particularly very important role in these interactions. All the synthesized molecules were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR and Mass spectrometric data and investigated for their antianxiety and antiepileptic actions. Conclusion: Compound 3-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-5-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one was found to possess very effective in both the activities. All results, docking as well as pharmacological evaluations were compared to diazepam.
Antimicrobial benzodiazepine-based short cationic peptidomimetics

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) appear to be good candidates for the development of new antibiotic drugs. We describe here the synthesis of peptidomimetic compounds that are based on a benzodiazepine scaffold flanked with positively charged and hydrophobic amino acids. These compounds mimic the essential properties of cationic AMPs. The new design possesses the benzodiazepine scaffold that is comprised of two glycine amino acids and which confers flexibility and aromatic hydrophobic 'back', and two arms used for further synthesis on solid phase for incorporation of charged and hydrophobic amino acids. This approach allowed us a better understanding of the influence of these features on the antimicrobial activity and selectivity. A novel compound was discovered which has MICs of 12.5 μg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus and 25 μg/ml against Escherichia coli, similar to the well-known antimicrobial peptide MSI-78. In contrast to MSI-78, the above mentioned compound has lower lytic effect against mammalian red blood cells. These peptidomimetic compounds will pave the way for future design of potent synthetic mimics of AMPs for therapeutic and biomedical applications.

A Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction sequence is described that is catalytic in phosphorus. Towards this end, the phosphane oxide is reduced in situ by diphenylsilane, which allows for substoichiometric amounts of the catalyst 5-phenyldibenzophosphole to be used. The substrate scope is investigated and benzoxazoles, benzodiazepine imidates and a 2-methoxypyrrole were successfully synthesized. These investigations show that a fast aza-Wittig reaction is required to obtain high yields. A catalytic Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction sequence, involving in situ phosphane oxide reduction, was successfully developed. Benzoxazoles, benzodiazepine imidates and 2-methoxypyrrole were synthesized without phosphane oxide waste products. Copyright
