Indole signaling is one of the putative universal signaling networks in bacteria. We have investigated the use of desformylflustrabromine (dFBr) derivatives for the inhibition of biofilm formation through modulation of the indole-signaling network in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. We have found dFBr derivatives that are 10-1000 times more active than indole itself, demonstrating that the flustramine family of indolic natural products represent a privileged scaffold for the design of molecules to control pathogenic bacterial behavior.

Indole is a universal signal that regulates various bacterial behaviors, such as biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance. To generate mechanistic probes of indole signaling and control indole-mediated pathogenic phenotypes in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, we have investigated the use of desformylflustrabromine (dFBr) derivatives to generate highly active indole mimetics. We have developed non-microbicidal dFBr derivatives that are 27-2000 times more active than indole in modulating biofilm formation, motility, acid resistance, and antibiotic resistance. The activity of these analogues parallels indole, because they are dependent on temperature, the enzyme tryptophanase TnaA, and the transcriptional regulator SdiA. This investigation demonstrates that molecules based on the dFBr scaffold can alter pathogenic behaviors by mimicking indole-signaling pathways. Phenotype control: Non-microbicidal desformylflustrabromine (dFBr) derivatives that are 27-2000 times more active than indole in modulating biofilm formation, motility, acid resistance, and antibiotic resistance were developed. This investigation demonstrates that molecules based on the dFBr scaffold can alter pathogenic behaviors by mimicking indole-signaling pathways (see scheme).

Herein, we report a highly enantio- and diastereoselective rhodium-catalyzed cyclization of N-allenyltryptamines and 3-allenylindoles to 6-membered spirocyclic indolenines. This allylic addition methodology offers the advantage of using a comparably cheap commercially available ligand with low loadings of an affordable rhodium precursor. The products can be converted into functionalized spirooxindoles and spiroindolines, which are regarded as important building blocks for the synthesis of a lot of natural products with biological activities.

Because benzannulated and indole-fused medium-sized rings are found in many bioactive compounds, combining these fragments might lead to unexplored areas of biologically relevant and uncovered chemical space. Herein is shown that α-imino gold carbene chem

We recently identified AG1, a small-molecule activator that functions by promoting oligomerization of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) to the catalytically competent forms. Biochemical experiments indicate that the activation of G6PD by the original hit molecule (AG1) is noncovalent and that one C2-symmetric region of the G6PD homodimer is important for ligand function. Consequently, the disulfide in AG1 is not required for activation of G6PD, and a number of analogues were prepared without this reactive moiety. Our study supports a mechanism of action whereby AG1 bridges the dimer interface at the structural nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) binding sites of two interacting G6PD monomers. Small molecules that promote G6PD oligomerization have the potential to provide a first-in-class treatment for G6PD deficiency. This general strategy could be applied to other enzyme deficiencies in which control of oligomerization can enhance enzymatic activity and/or stability.

Thirty four of indoles bearing sulfonamides (11–44) were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-aromatase activities. Interestingly, all indole derivatives inhibited the aromatase with IC50 range of 0.7–15.3 μM. Indoles (27–36) exerted higher aromatase inhibitory activity than that of ketoconazole. The phenoxy analogs 28 and 34 with methoxy group were shown to be the most potent compounds with sub-micromolar IC50 values (i.e., 0.7 and 0.8 μM, respectively) without affecting to the normal cell line. Molecular docking demonstrated that the indoles 28, 30 and 34 could occupy the same binding site on the aromatase pocket and share several binding residues with those of the natural substrate (androstenedione), which suggested the competitive binding could be the mode of inhibition of the compounds. The most potent analog 28 could mimic H-bond interactions of the natural androstenedione with MET374 and ASP309 residues on the aromatase. QSAR model also revealed that the para-phenoxy indole (28) affords the higher value of electronegativity descriptor MATS6e as well as the higher inhibitory activity compared with that of the ortho-phenoxy compound (34). The study highlighted a series of promising indoles to be potentially developed as novel aromatase inhibitors for therapeutics.

A highly enantioselective tandem Michael addition of tryptamine-derived oxindoles to alkynones was developed by taking advantage of a chiral N,N′-dioxide Sc(OTf)3 catalyst. The reaction enables the facile preparation of enantioenriched spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3′-oxindole] compounds, which provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids. As a demonstration, the asymmetric synthesis of strychnos alkaloids [(?)-tubifoline, (?)-tubifolidine, (?)-dehydrotubifoline] was achieved in 10–11 steps.
