Marine indole alkaloid meridianin D analogues have been synthesized starting from the appropriate 3-cyanoacetyl indole. A facile two-step conversion of 3-cyanoacetyl indole to the corresponding cyano meridianin D analogue by treatment with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal and further cyclization of the resulting enaminonitrile with aminoguanidine is described. Then, alkaline hydrolysis of cyano meridianin D afforded the carboxylic acid analogue. The treatment of acid with 75% H2SO4 afforded the desired 6-debromomeridianin D. Simply treatment of cyano meridianin D analogue with hydrazine hydrate afforded the amidrazone analogue. The biological evaluation indicated that cyano analogue showed good cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 0.85 and 2.65 μg (against MCF7 and HeLa, respectively), but acid and amidrazone analogues showed high cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 0.75 and 0.25 μg, respectively (against MCF7).

Meridianins are a group of marine-derived indole alkaloids which are reported to possess kinase inhibitory activities. In the present Letter, we report synthesis of N1-substituted and C-ring modified meridianin derivatives and their evaluation as Dyrk1A inhibitors and neuroprotective agents. Among the library of 52 compounds screened, morpholinoyl linked derivative 26b and 2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl phenyl sulfonyl derivative 29v displayed potent inhibition of Dyrk1A with IC50 values of 0.5 and 0.53 μM, respectively. The derivative 26b also inhibited Dyrk2 and Dyrk3 with IC50 values of 1.4 and 2.2 μM, respectively showing 2.2 and 4.4 fold selectivity for Dyrk1A with respect to Dyrk2 and Dyrk3. The compound 26b was not cytotoxic to human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells (IC50 >100 μM) and it displayed significant neuroprotection against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in these cells at 10 μM. Molecular modelling studies of compound 26b led to identification of key interactions in the binding site of Dyrk1A and the possible reasons for observed Dyrk1A selectivity over Dyrk2.

The preformed catalyst [Ir(Cl)(COD)(1,10-phenanthroline)] (2; COD = cyclooctadiene) was found to be highly effective in a model reaction for the borylation of N-Boc-indole at the 3-position with B2pin2 (pin = pinacolato) as the borylating agent to give consistently 99% yield with 0.5 mol % catalyst loading. The corresponding in situ formed catalyst from [Ir(Cl)(COD)]2 and 1,10-phenanthroline provided very inconsistent results for the same reaction (0-94% conversion). We propose this to be due to the competing formation of a catalytically inactive cationic complex, [Ir(COD)(1,10-phenanthroline)]+Cl- (1), in a noncoordinating solvent such as octane. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized using solid-state NMR (13C and 35Cl) in conjunction with XPS to be cationic and neutral, respectively. The X-ray crystal structure of a pentavalent neutral Ir complex, [Ir(Cl)(COD)(2,2′-bipyridine)] (3), was also obtained for comparison purposes. Using catalyst 2, the total synthesis of Meridianin G was accomplished in 87% overall isolated yield in a one-pot, three-step process.
