[3+2] Cycloaddition of o-nitrophenyl azide to the multiple bond of oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptene moiety in substituted 3a,6-epoxyisoindoles was performed. The 1,3-dipolar addition reaction proceeded stereoselectively, producing a pair of isomeric cis-4,8a-epox

Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) that specifically interfere with bacterial cell-to-cell communication are considered as an alternative approach to conventional antibacterial therapy. In our study, a set of twenty-six fumardiamides with a quinoline head-group were evaluated as potential QSIs. Two strains of Gram-negative Chromobacterium violaceum (violacein-producing strain ATCC31532 and violacein-negative, mini-Tn5 mutant derivative CV026) were used as QS reporters for testing anti-QS and bactericidal activity of various quinoline fumardiamides. The initial screening of eighteen fumardiamides with primaquine, mefloquine and chloroquine scaffolds identified chloroquine derivatives as the most promising QSIs. Tail-group optimization of chloroquine fumardiamides led to the most active compounds 27, 29 and 30 bearing aminoethyl or piperidine moieties. At 400 μM concentration, these compounds inhibited the QS of C. violaceum strains in a manner similar to quercetin (the model QSI), while at the 40 μM concentration their inhibitory effect was twice less than that of quercetin. As none of the compounds displayed a bactericidal effect and that the QS inhibition was specific to the CV026 strain, our findings indicate that the structurally optimized chloroquine derivatives could function as quorum quenching (QQ) agents with a potential to block the signaling without entering the cell. In conclusion, our finding provides an important step toward the further design of agents targeting cell-to-cell communication.

This paper describes a continuation of our efforts in the pursuit of novel antiplasmodial agents with optimized properties. Following our previous discovery of biologically potent asymmetric primaquine (PQ) and halogenaniline fumardiamides (1–6), we now report their significant in vitro activity against the hepatic stages of Plasmodium parasites. Furthermore, we successfully prepared chloroquine (CQ) analogue derivatives (11–16) and evaluated their activity against both the hepatic and erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium. Our results have shown that PQ fumardiamides (1–6) exert both higher activity against P. berghei hepatic stages and lower toxicity against human hepatoma cells than the parent drug and CQ derivatives (11–16). The favourable cytotoxicity profile of the most active compounds, 5 and 6, was corroborated by assays performed on human cells (human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and non-tumour embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T)), even when glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was inhibited. The activity of CQ fumardiamides on P. falciparum erythrocytic stages was higher than that of PQ derivatives, comparable to CQ against CQ-resistant strain PfDd2, but lower than CQ when tested on the CQ-sensitive strain Pf3D7. In addition, both sets of compounds showed favourable drug-like properties. Hence, quinoline fumardiamides could serve as a starting point towards the development of safer and more effective antiplasmodial agents.
Modulation of reactivities of dienophiles for diels-alder reactions via complexation of α,β-unsaturated chelating amides
Sterk, Markus,Bannwarth, Willi
, p. 287 - 307 (2015)
We describe the modulation of reactivities of dienophiles for Diels-Alder reactions via a new principle based on chelating amides positioned adjacent to their C-C bond. It is demonstrated for modified acrylic acid derivatives and related dienophiles with three different chelating entities. Complexation of the chelators leads to an intensified electron-withdrawing effect leading to an enhancement of reactivity in Diels-Alder reactions depending on the complexed metal ion. The application of this new approach might be extended to other reactions with reacting entities adjacent to chelating amides.
SAHAquines, Novel Hybrids Based on SAHA and Primaquine Motifs, as Potential Cytostatic and Antiplasmodial Agents

We report the synthesis of SAHAquines and related primaquine (PQ) derivatives. SAHAquines are novel hybrid compounds that combine moieties of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), an anticancer agent with weak antiplasmodial activity, and PQ, an antimalarial drug with low antiproliferative activity. The preparation of SAHAquines is simple, cheap, and high yielding. It includes the following steps: coupling reaction between primaquine and a dicarboxylic acid monoester, hydrolysis, a new coupling reaction with O-protected hydroxylamine, and deprotection. SAHAquines 5 a–d showed significant reduction in cell viability. Among the three human cancer cell lines (U2OS, HepG2, and MCF-7), the most responsive were the MCF-7 cells. The antibodies against acetylated histone H3K9/H3K14 in MCF-7 cells revealed a significant enhancement following treatment with N-hydroxy-N′-{4-[(6-methoxyquinolin-8-yl)amino]pentyl}pentanediamide (5 b). Ethyl (2E)-3-({4-[(6-methoxyquinolin-8-yl)amino]pentyl}carbamoyl)prop-2-enoate (2 b) and SAHAquines were the most active compounds against both the hepatic and erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium parasites, some of them at sub-micromolar concentrations. The results of our research suggest that SAHAquines are promising leads for new anticancer and antimalarial agents.

The dramatic increase in the prevalence of multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections and the simultaneous lack of new classes of antibiotics is projected to result in approximately 10 million deaths per year by 2050. We report on efforts to target the Gram-negative ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter MsbA, an essential inner membrane protein that transports lipopolysaccharide from the inner leaflet to the periplasmic face of the inner membrane. We demonstrate the improvement of a high throughput screening hit into compounds with on-target single digit micromolar (μM) minimum inhibitory concentrations against wild-type uropathogenic Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterobacter cloacae. A 2.98 ? resolution X-ray crystal structure of MsbA complexed with an inhibitor revealed a novel mechanism for inhibition of an ABC transporter. The identification of a fully encapsulated membrane binding site in Gram-negative bacteria led to unique physicochemical property requirements for wild-type activity.

We disclose a catalytic method for β-C(sp3)-H functionalization of N-alkylamines for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched β-substituted amines, entities prevalent in pharmaceutical compounds and used to generate different families of chiral catalysts. We demonstrate that a catalyst system comprising of seemingly competitive Lewis acids, B(C6F5)3, and a chiral Mg- or Sc-based complex, promotes the highly enantioselective union of N-alkylamines and α,β-unsaturated compounds. An array of δ-amino carbonyl compounds was synthesized under redox-neutral conditions by enantioselective reaction of a N-alkylamine-derived enamine and an electrophile activated by the chiral Lewis acid co-catalyst. The utility of the approach is highlighted by late-stage β-C-H functionalization of bioactive amines. Investigations in regard to the mechanistic nuances of the catalytic processes are described.
