Synthesis and in vitro study of nitro- and methoxy-2-phenylbenzofurans as human monoamine oxidase inhibitors

A new series of 2-phenylbenzofuran derivatives were designed and synthesized to determine relevant structural features for the MAO inhibitory activity and selectivity. Methoxy substituents were introduced in the 2-phenyl ring, whereas the benzofuran moiety was not substituted or substituted at the positions 5 or 7 with a nitro group. Substitution patterns on both the phenyl ring and the benzofuran moiety determine the affinity for MAO-A or MAO-B. The 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-5-nitrobenzofuran 9 was the most potent MAO-B inhibitor (IC50 = 0.024 μM) identified in this series, whereas 7-nitro-2-phenylbenzofuran 7 was the most potent MAO-A inhibitor (IC50 = 0.168 μM), both acting as reversible inhibitors. The number and position of the methoxyl groups on the 2-phenyl ring, have an important influence on the inhibitory activity. Molecular docking studies confirmed the experimental results and highlighted the importance of key residues in enzyme inhibition.

Highly Efficient Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzo[ b ]furan Derivatives from the Cross-Coupling Reactions of 2-Halobenzo[ b ]furans with Organoalane Reagents

A highly efficient and simple route for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzo[ b ]furans has been developed by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 2-halobenzo[ b ]furans with aryl, alkynyl, and alkylaluminum reagents. Various 2-aryl-, 2-alkynyl-, and 2-alkyl-substituted benzo[ b ]furan derivatives can be obtained in 23-97% isolated yields using 2-3 mol% PdCl 2/4-6 mol% XantPhos as the catalyst under mild reaction conditions. The aryls bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups in 2-halobenzo[ b ]furans gave products in 40-97% isolated yields. In addition, aluminum reagents containing thienyl, furanyl, trimethylsilanyl, and benzyl groups worked efficiently with 2-halobenzo[ b ]furans as well, and three bioactive molecules with 2-substituted benzo[ b ]furan skeleton were synthesized. Furthermore, the broad substrates scope and the typical maintenance of vigorous efficiency on gram scale make this protocol a potentially practical method to synthesize 2-substituted benzo[ b ]furan derivatives. On the basis of the experimental results, a possible catalytic cycle has been proposed.

Catalyst-Free Synthesis of Benzofuran Derivatives from Cascade Reactions between Nitroepoxides and Salicylaldehydes

Different benzofuran derivatives are synthesized via a catalyst-free reaction between nitroepoxides and salicylaldehydes. In the employed methodology, K2CO3 and DMF have been used at 110 °C, and the reactions were completed after 12 h in 33-84% yields. Th

Acid-promoted selective synthesis of trifluoromethylselenolated benzofurans with Se-(trifluoromethyl) 4-methylbenzenesulfonoselenoate

A Br?nsted acid-promoted trifluoromethylselenolation of benzofurans was disclosed by using Se-(trifluoromethyl) 4-methylbenzenesulfonoselenoate as a stable and easily prepared electrophilic trifluoromethylselenolating reagent. A wide range of SeCF3-substituted benzofuran derivatives were obtained in moderate to good yields with excellent regioselectivity. The tandem cyclization/trifluoromethylselenolation procedure of 1-methoxy-2-(arylethynyl)benzenes were also realized by engaging FeCl3 as the catalyst.

Looking for new xanthine oxidase inhibitors: 3-Phenylcoumarins versus 2-phenylbenzofurans

Overproduction of uric acid in the body leads to hyperuricemia, which is also closely related to gout. Uric acid production can be lowered by xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors. Inhibition of XO has also been proposed as a mechanism for improving cardiovascular health. Therefore, the search for new efficient XO inhibitors is an interesting topic in drug discovery. 3-Phenylcoumarins and 2-phenylbenzofurans are privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Their structural similarity makes them interesting molecules for a comparative study. Methoxy and nitro substituents were introduced in both scaffolds. The current study gives some insights into the synthesis and biological activity of these molecules against this important target. For the best compound of the series, the 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-nitrocoumarin (4), the IC50 value, type of inhibition, cytotoxicity on B16F10 cells and ADME theoretical properties, were determined. Docking studies were also performed in order to better understand the interactions of this molecule with the XO binding pocket. This work is a preliminary screening for further design and synthesis of new non-purinergic derivatives as potential compounds involved in the inflammatory suppression, specially related to gout.

Synthesis of benzofurans from terminal alkynes and iodophenols catalyzed by recyclable palladium nanoparticles supported on N,O-dual doped hierarchical porous carbon under copper- and ligand-free conditions

The catalyst performed superior catalytic performance compared with the analogous Pd/C and supported on other metal oxides under otherwise identical conditions. A broad set of aryl and alkyl terminal alkynes can be effectively coupled /cyclized with various o-iodophenols to afford their corresponding 2-benzofurans in good to high yields with good tolerance of multiple functional groups. Moreover, the catalyst showed good stability and could be reused several times without significant loss of activity.

Organic transformations catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles on carbon nanomaterials

Abstract: An efficient C–C bond coupling reactions (Suzuki–Miyaura and Glaser) catalyzed by PdO/GO nano-catalyst is presented. In addition, PdO/MWCNT nano-catalyst-mediated domino one-pot synthesis of 2-alkyl/2-aryl benzofurans has been accomplished from 2-iodophenols and terminal alkynes. The formation of benzofurans proceeds through intermolecular Sonogashira reaction followed by intramolecular nucleophilic addition of internal hydroxyl group onto the acetylenic bond. The catalyst PdO/GO has been reused successfully, with nearly no loss of activity up to 5 cycles.
