In the kynurenine pathway for tryptophan degradation, an unstable metabolic intermediate, α-amino-β-carboxymuconate-?-semialdehyde (ACMS), can nonenzymatically cyclize to form quinolinic acid, the precursor for de novo biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). In a competing reaction, ACMS is decarboxylated by ACMS decarboxylase (ACMSD) for further metabolism and energy production. Therefore, the inhibition of ACMSD increases NAD+ levels. In this study, an Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug, diflunisal, was found to competitively inhibit ACMSD. The complex structure of ACMSD with diflunisal revealed a previously unknown ligand-binding mode and was consistent with the results of inhibition assays, as well as a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. Moreover, two synthesized diflunisal derivatives showed half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values 1 order of magnitude better than diflunisal at 1.32 ± 0.07 μM (22) and 3.10 ± 0.11 μM (20), respectively. The results suggest that diflunisal derivatives have the potential to modulate NAD+ levels. The ligand-binding mode revealed here provides a new direction for developing inhibitors of ACMSD.

Introduction: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress condition is characterized as the accu-mulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins in lumen of ER. This condition has been implicated in various diseases and pathologies including β-cell apoptosis, Alzheimer’s disease and atherosclerosis. We have reported that hydroxynaphthoic acids (HNA), naphtha-lene analogues of salicylic acid (SA), reduced ER stress. In this study, we explored structural modification to bi-aryl analogues of SA. Methods: Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling was applied to synthesize bi-aryl analogues of SA. Anti-ER stress activity was monitored by using our cell-based assay system where ER stress is induced by tunicamycin. To monitor ER stress markers, ER stress was induced physiologically relevant palmitate system. Results: Many analogues decreased ER stress signal induced by tunicamycin. Compounds creating dihedral angle between Ar group and SA moiety generally increased the activity but gave some cytotoxicity to indicate the crucial role of flat conformation of aromatic region. The best compound (16e) showed up to almost 6-fold and 90-fold better activity than 3-HNA and tauro-ursodeoxycholic acid, positive controls, respectively. ER stress markers such as p-PERK and p-JNK were accordingly decreased in Western blotting upon treatment of 16e under palmitate-induced condition. Conclusion: Anti-ER stress activity and toxicity profile of bi-aryl analogues of SA could provide a novel platform for potential therapy for protein misfolding diseases.

A green synthesis of variously substituted biphenyl carboxylic acids was achieved through Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of a bromobenzoic acid with an aryl boronic acid using a water-soluble fullerene-supported PdCl2 nanocatalyst (C60-TEGs/ PdCl2). Yields of more than 90% were obtained at room temperature in 4 h using 0.05 mol% catalyst and 2 equiv. K2CO3.

N-(3-Chloro-2-quinoxalinyl)-N′-arylimidazolium salts (aryl = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl [HL1Cl]Cl, aryl = mesityl [HL2Cl]Cl) have been synthesized by treating 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline with the corresponding N′-arylimidazole in neat water. Facile reactions of these imidazolium salts with Pd(PPh3)4 and Pd2(dba)3/PPh3 (dba = dibenzyledene acetone) at 50 °C have afforded zwitterionic palladium(ii) complexes [Pd(HL1)(PPh3)Cl2] (I) and [Pd(HL2)(PPh3)Cl2] (II) in excellent yields. I and II have been tested for their ability to catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling (SMC) reactions in neat water/K2CO3 and are found to be highly active for carrying out these reactions between aryl bromides and organoboron reagents. Furthermore, the scope of the catalyst I was also examined by employing (hetero)aryl bromides, hydrophilic aryl bromides, benzyl bromides and various organoboron reagents. More than 80 aryl/benzyl bromide-arylboronic acid combinations were screened in neat water/K2CO3 and it was found that I was a versatile catalyst, which produced biaryls/diarylmethanes in excellent yields. A TON of 82 000 was achieved by using I. Studies on the mechanism have also been carried out to investigate the involvement of carbene complexes in the catalytic path. Poison tests and a two-phase test were also conducted and the results are reported.

The synthesis of 6-aryl, 8- aryl, and 8-aryl-6-chloro-2-morpholino-1,3-benzoxazines with potent activity against PI3K and DNA-PK is described. Synthesis of thirty one analogues was facilitated by an improved synthesis of 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoic acid 13 by de-sulphonation of 3-bromo-2-hydroxy-5-sulfobenzoic acid 12 en route to 2-methylthio-substituted-benzoxazine intermediates 17-19. From this series, compound 20k (LTURM34) (dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-4-yl) (IC50 = 0.034 μM) was identified as a specific DNA-PK inhibitor, 170 fold more selective for DNA-PK activity compared to PI3K activity. Other compounds of the series show markedly altered selectivity for various PI3K isoforms including compound 20i (8-(naphthalen-1-yl) a potent and quite selective PI3Kδ inhibitor (IC50 = 0.64 μM). Finally, nine compounds were evaluated and showed antiproliferative activity against an NCI panel of cancer cell lines. Compound 20i (8-(naphthalen-1-yl) showed strong anti-proliferative activity against A498 renal cancer cells that warrants further investigation.

While a great number of ortho C-H functionalization reactions have been developed and several breakthroughs have been achieved in meta C-H activation, para C-H functionalization is still in its infancy stage. In this article, a versatile strategy for the synthesis of para-substituted arenes has been developed via a tandem process consisting of palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization and subsequent copper-catalyzed protodecarboxylation of benzoic acids. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating functionalities can be introduced into the para positions of arenes bearing a variety of substituents.

, p. 2255 - 2259 (2015/02/19)
A silanol-directed, palladium-catalyzed C-H carboxylation reaction of phenols to give salicylic acids has been developed. This method features high efficiency and selectivity, and excellent functional-group tolerance. The generality of this method was demonstrated by the carboxylation of estrone and by the synthesis of an unsymmetrically o,o′-disubstituted phenolic compound through two sequential C-H functionalization processes.

Two series of iododiflunisal and diflunisal analogues have been obtained by using a two step sequential reaction solution-phase parallel synthesis. The synthesis combined an aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and a mild electrophilic aromatic iodination step using a new polymer-supported iodonium version of Barluengas reagent. From a selected set of 77 noniodinated and 77 iodinated diflunisal analogues, a subset of good transthyretin amyloid inhibitors has been obtained with improved turbidimetry inhibition constants, high binding affinity to transthyretin, and good selectivity for TTR compared to other thyroxine binding proteins.

Two urea-based porous organic frameworks, UOF-1 and UOF-2, were synthesized through a urea-forming condensation of 1,3,5-benzenetriisocyanate with 1,4-diaminobenzene and benzidine, respectively. UOF-1 and UOF-2 possess good hydrophilic properties and high scavenging ability for palladium. Their palladium polymers, PdII/UOF-1 and PdII/UOF-2, exhibit high catalytic activity and selectivity for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and selective reduction of nitroarenes in water. The catalytic reactions can be efficiently performed at room temperature. Palladium nanoparticles with narrow size distribution were formed after the catalytic reaction and were well dispersed in UOF-1 and UOF-2. XPS analysis confirmed the coordination of the urea oxygen atom with palladium. SEM and TEM images showed that the original network morphology of UOF-1 and UOF-2 was maintained after palladium loading and catalytic reactions. Feeling supportive? Two urea-based porous organic frameworks were prepared by a facile urea-forming condensation and can serve as effective supports in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and reduction of nitroarenes in water. The reactions can even be efficiently performed at room temperature. The original morphology of the urea-based frameworks was maintained after the catalytic reactions.
