Acronycine and noracronycine are chromene-containing alkaloids with significant biological activity. We have accomplished a concise total synthesis of acronycine and noracronycine. The key step, regioselective nucleophilic addition of anthranilate to chromene-type arynes under mild and transition-metal-free conditions was achieved. In addition, further modifications of nucleophilic addition products, such as hydrogenation, O-functionalization and palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions have also been developed, providing a concise procedure for these alkaloids and their derivatives.

Inspired by the natural product evodiamine, a novel antitumor indolopyrazinoquinazolinone scaffold was designed by scaffold hopping. Structure-activity relationship studies led to the discovery of compound 15j, which shows low nanomolar inhibitory activity against the HCT116 cell line. Further antitumor mechanism studies indicated that compound 15j acted by the dual inhibition of topoisomerase 1 and tubulin and induced apoptosis with G2 cell-cycle arrest. The quaternary ammonium salt of compound 15j (compound 15js) exhibited excellent in vivo antitumor activity (TGI = 66.6%) in the HCT116 xenograft model with low toxicity. Indolopyrazinoquinazolinone derivatives represent promising multitargeting antitumor leads for the development of novel antitumor agents.

The reaction of silylaryl triflates, CsF, and ortho-heteroatom-substituted benzoates affords a general and efficient way to prepare biologically interesting xanthones, thioxanthones, and acridones. This chemistry presumably proceeds by a tandem intermolecular nucleophilic coupling of the benzoate with an aryne and a subsequent intramolecular electrophilic cyclization.
