Prostate cancer (PC) is a major cause of cancer-related male death in worldwide and the identification of new and improved potent anti-PC molecules is constantly required. A novel scaffold of tetrahydroisoquinoline thiohydantoin was rationally designed based on the enzalutamide structures and our pre-work, leading to the discovery of a series of new antiproliferative compounds. Several new analogues displayed improved androgen receptor (AR) antagonistic activity, while maintaining the higher selective toxicity toward LNCaP cells (AR-rich) versus DU145 cells (AR-deficient) compared to enzalutamide. In fact, compound 55 exhibited promising in vitro antitumor activity by impairing AR unclear translocation. More importantly, 55 showed better pharmacokinetic properties compared to the compound 1 reported in our pre-work. These results demonstrate a step towards the development of novel and improved AR antagonists.

With a dual organocatalytic system involving a chiral phosphoric acid and a dicyanopyrazine-derived chromophore (DPZ) photosensitizer and under the irradiation with visible light, an enantioselective Minisci-type addition of α-amino acid-derived redox-active esters (RAEs) to isoquinolines has been developed. A variety of prochiral α-aminoalkyl radicals generated from RAEs were successfully introduced on isoquinolines, providing a range of valuable α-isoquinoline-substituted chiral secondary amines in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities.

Nine diethyl α-acetamido, α-alkylmalonates 3-11 (alkyl=methyl, benzyl, 3-fluorobenzyl, 4-fluorobenzyl, 2,6-difluorobenzyl, 3-trifluoromethylbenzyl, 4-trifluoromethylbenzyi, 2-chlorobenzyl and 3-chlorobenzyl) have been synthesised in three steps starting with diethyl malonate in overall yields of 49-90%. The structures of C-alkylated acetamidomalonates have been established on the basis of their speciral data, the structures of two compounds 9 and 11 are also confirmed on the basis of their X-ray crystallographic studies. Further, the X-ray crystal structure of the chiral monoethyl ester of α-acetamidomalonic acid 1 has been studied. None of our C-alkylated acetamidomalonate has been found to be a substrate for lipase-catalysed enantiodifferentiating deesterification/hydrolysis of the symmetric diester groups.
