NUAK, the member of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) family of protein kinases, is phosphorylated and activated by the LKB1 (liver kinase B1) tumor suppressor protein kinase. Recent work has indicated that NUAK1 is a key component of the antioxidant stress response pathway, and the inhibition of NUAK1 will suppress the growth and survival of colorectal tumors. As a promising target for anticancer drugs, few inhibitors of NUAK were developed. With this goal in mind, based on NUAK inhibitor WZ4003, a series of derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity. Compound 9q, a derivative of WZ4003 by removing a methoxy group, was found to be the most potential one with stronger inhibitory against NUAK1/2 enzyme activity, tumor cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis of tumor cells. By in vivo efficacy evaluations of colorectal SW480 xenografts, 9q suppresses tumor growth more effectively with an excellent safety profile in vivo and is therefore seen as a suitable candidate for further investigation.

AIMP2-DX2, a splicing variant of AIMP2, is up-regulated in lung cancer, possesses oncogenic activity, and results in tumorigenesis. Specifically inhibiting the interaction between AIMP2-DX2 and HSP70 to suppress AIMP2-DX2-dependent cancers with small molecules is considered a promising avenue for cancer therapeutics. Optimization of hit BC-DXI-04 (IC50 = 40.1 μM) provided new potent sulfonamide based AIMP2-DX2 inhibitors. Among these, BC-DXI-843 showed improved inhibition against AIMP2-DX2 (IC50 = 0.92 μM) with more than 100-fold selectivity over AIMP2 in a luciferase assay. Several binding assays indicated that this compound effectively induces cancer cell apoptosis by specifically interrupting the interaction between DX2 and HSP70, which leads to the degradation of DX2 via Siah1-mediated ubiquitination. More importantly, BC-DXI-843 demonstrated in vivo efficacy in a tumor xenograft mouse model (H460 cells) at a dosage of 50 mg/kg, suggesting it as a promising lead for development of novel therapeutics targeting AIMP2-DX2 in lung cancer.

A total of 26 compounds based on osthole skeleton were designed, synthesized. Their cytoprotective abilities of antioxidation, anti-inflammation and Aβ42(Amyloid β-protein 42)-induced neurotoxicity were evaluated by MTT assays. Mechanism of the action of selected compounds were investigated by molecular docking. AlogP, logS and blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability of all these compounds were simulated by admetSAR. Most of the compounds showed better antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities compared with osthole, especially OST7 and OST17. The compound OST7 showed relative high activity in neuroprotection against H2O2 (45.7 ± 5.5%), oxygen glucose deprivation (64.6 ± 4.8%) and Aβ42 (61.4 ± 5.2%) at a low concentration of 10 μM. EC50 of selected compounds were measured in both H2O2 and OGD induced cytotoxicity models. Moreover, NO inhibiting ability of OST17(50.4 ± 7.1%) already surpassed the positive drug indomethacin. The structure activity relationship study indicated that introduction of piperazine group, tetrahydropyrrole group and aromatic amine group might be beneficial for enhancement of osthole neuroprotective properties. Molecular docking explained that the reason OST7 exhibited relatively stronger neuroprotection against Aβ because of the greater area of interactions between molecule and target protein. OST7 and OST17 both provided novel methods to investigate osthole as anti-AD drugs.

To develop novel therapeutic agents with anticancer activities, two series of novel 7-amino-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-f]pteridinone, and 7-aminotetrazolo[1,5-f]pteridinone derivatives were designed and synthesized. All compounds were tested for anti-proliferative activities against five cancer cell lines. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) studies were conducted through the variation in two regions, the moiety of A ring and the terminal aniline B on pteridinone core. 1-Methyl-1,2,4-triazole derivative L7 with 2,6-dimethylpiperazine showed the most potent antiproliferative activity against A549, PC-3, HCT116, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.16 μM, 0.30 μM, 0.51 μM, 0.30 μM, and 0.70 μM, respectively. Combined with the results of the molecular docking and enzymatic studies, the PLK1 was very likely to be one of the drug targets of compound L7. Furthermore, to clarify the anticancer mechanism of compound L7, further explorations in the bioactivity were conducted. The results showed that compound L7 obviously inhibited proliferation of A549 cell lines, induced a great decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential leading to apoptosis of cancer cells, suppressed the migration of tumor cells, and arrested G1 phase of A549 cells.

For developing novel therapeutic agents with anticancer activities, two series of novel 2,4-diaminopyrimidine derivatives possessing triazolopiperazine or 1,4,8-triazaspiro[4.5]decan-3-one scaffolds were designed and synthesized. Preliminary investigations showed that some compounds exhibited moderate to excellent potency against four tested cancer cell lines as compared with palbociclib and momelotinib. In particular, the most promising compounds 9k and 13f showed the most potent antitumor activities with IC50 values of 2.14/1.98 μM, 3.59/2.78 μM, 5.52/4.27 μM, and 3.69/4.01 μM against A549, HCT-116, PC-3 and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies were conducted based on the variation of the moiety of the aromatic ring and the terminal aniline on the pyrimidine core. Furthermore, the mechanism of their anticancer activity was clarified by further exploring the bioactivity. The results showed that compound 9k obviously inhibited the proliferation of A549 cell lines, induced a great decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential leading to apoptosis of cancer cells, suppressed the migration of tumor cells and prolonged the A549 cell cycle distribution, representing blockage at the G2-M phase and accumulation at the S phase.

The present methodology described the chemo-selective hydrogenation of various nitroarenes in a flow reactor under polystyrene supported rhodium in a catalyst-cartridge (Cart-Rh@PS) as a heterogeneous nano-catalyst. The polystyrene supported Rh (Rh@PS) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by following our earlier reported protocol and packed inside the catalyst-cartridge (Cat-Cart) to obtain Cart-Rh@PS, which is compatible with ThalesNano's H-Cube Pro flow system. The advantages of the prepacked catalyst Cart-Rh@PS are as follows: no need for catalyst activation up to 12 runs, negligible metal leaching detected by ICP-AES analysis and significantly less back pressure generated under the flow conditions. The same catalyst, Cart-Rh@PS, was also effective up to a 1 gram scale for the reduction of nitroarenes and reusable for successive runs. The hydrogenation in the flow reactor is a greener approach for the reduction of nitroarenes to their corresponding anilines in high yields.

A facile reduction reaction of nitroarenes, aryl carbonyls and aryl/benzyl sulfoxides was performed under polystyrene supported rhodium (Rh@PS) catalyzed conditions using ethanol/methanol as in situ hydrogen source. The catalyst Rh@PS played a pivotal role in the oxidation of ethanol/methanol in the presence of traces of aerial oxygen and base to produce hydrogen gas, enough for further reduction reaction. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis indicated that the average particle size of the Rh nanoparticles (NPs) lies between 2–3 nm; this is responsible for its high catalytic activity. The advantages of Rh@PS are its catalytic activity, easy preparation, recovery, recyclability for several runs, and low metal leaching during reaction. (Figure presented.).

A tandem rearrangement of α,β-unsaturated thioesters into tricyclic ene-lactones fails with conventional amidine-based catalysts, but becomes possible when their electron-rich analogs are employed. A highly diastereo- and enantioselective version of this process has been developed using H-PIP 1b, a chiral catalyst prepared over a decade ago, but never utilized since its disclosure.
