Effective formal synthesis of benzomalvin A

A short and effective strategy for the construction of the tetracyclic core structure of the biologically active compound benzomalvin A from cheap commercially available (S)-phenylalanine and isatoic anhydride is described. This three-pot methodology was successfully implemented to synthesize N-demethylbenzomalvin A on a multi-gram scale with 54% overall yield.

Fungal Dioxygenase AsqJ Is Promiscuous and Bimodal: Substrate-Directed Formation of Quinolones versus Quinazolinones

Previous studies showed that the FeII/α-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase AsqJ induces a skeletal rearrangement in viridicatin biosynthesis in Aspergillus nidulans, generating a quinolone scaffold from benzo[1,4]diazepine-2,5-dione substrates. We report that AsqJ catalyzes an additional, entirely different reaction, simply by a change in substituent in the benzodiazepinedione substrate. This new mechanism is established by substrate screening, application of functional probes, and computational analysis. AsqJ excises H2CO from the heterocyclic ring structure of suitable benzo[1,4]diazepine-2,5-dione substrates to generate quinazolinones. This novel AsqJ catalysis pathway is governed by a single substituent within the complex substrate. This unique substrate-directed reactivity of AsqJ enables the targeted biocatalytic generation of either quinolones or quinazolinones, two alkaloid frameworks of exceptional biomedical relevance.

Facile synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones and quinazolinones from amino acids as anti-tubercular agents

A family of 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones and quinazolinones with diverse substituents at the C-3 position were synthesized via a novel, simple and convenient methodology using H2PtCl6 as the catalyst. The substitution at the C-3 pos

Improved method for microwave-assisted synthesis of benzodiazepine-2,5-diones from isatoic anhydrides mediated by glacial acetic acid

An improved and simpler method for the synthesis of benzodiazepin-2,5-diones and 7-iodobenzodiazepin-2,5-diones catalyzed by glacial acetic acid using isatoic anhydride and 6-iodoisatoic anhydride, respectively, as starting materials is reported. The target products were achieved in good yields (up to 71percent) using microwave irradiation as the activating mode of reaction in the presence of acetic acid instead of the traditional polar aprotic solvents as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or dimethylacetamide (DMAC). Moreover, relatively simple purification workup is required. The optimal temperature to obtain the benzodiazepin-2,5-dione derivatives was 130 °C, while the best irradiation time was 3 min. In addition, the methodology for the selective preparation of 6-iodoisatoic anhydride with an overall yield of 62percent is presented. Printed in Brazil-

Structure of the Dioxygenase AsqJ: Mechanistic Insights into a One-Pot Multistep Quinolone Antibiotic Biosynthesis

Multienzymatic cascades are responsible for the biosynthesis of natural products and represent a source of inspiration for synthetic chemists. The FeII/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase AsqJ from Aspergillus nidulans is outstanding because it stereoselectively catalyzes both a ferryl-induced desaturation reaction and epoxidation on a benzodiazepinedione. Interestingly, the enzymatically formed spiro epoxide spring-loads the 6,7-bicyclic skeleton for non-enzymatic rearrangement into the 6,6-bicyclic scaffold of the quinolone alkaloid 4′-methoxyviridicatin. Herein, we report different crystal structures of the protein in the absence and presence of synthesized substrates, surrogates, and intermediates that mimic the various stages of the reaction cycle of this exceptional dioxygenase.

Low-valent titanium-mediated enantioselective synthesis of quinazolinone alkaloids circumdatins F, H, and analogs

We report the concise and protecting-group-free enantioselective total syntheses of circumdatins F and H. In view of the extreme importance of analogs of quinazolinone alkaloids in drug research and discovery, four analogs of bioactive quinazolinobenzodiazepine alkaloids, including demethoxycircumdatin H (12) and N-demethylbenzomalvin A (13), have been synthesized. The method is based on the low-valent titanium-promoted intramolecular reductive coupling of imides with o-nitrobenzimides, which yielded quinazolino[3,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepines under mild conditions. In addition, heptacyclic dehydraasperlicin E (16) has been synthesized from asperlicin C by a NCS-mediated dehydra-cyclization reaction.

Identification of the benzodiazepines as a new class of antileishmanial agent

The continual increase in drug resistance; the lack of new chemotherapeutic agents; the toxicity of existing agents and the increasing morbidity with HIV co-infection mean the search for new antileishmanial agents has never been more urgent. We have ident
