A versatile unprecedented strategy to diversely functionalized hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole alkaloids is described in high chemical yields. The synthesis features a key Pd(0)-catalyzed deacylative alkylation of N-acyl 3-substituted indoles using only 1 mol% of Pd(PPh3)4. The scope of this methodology is further defined in the asymmetric synthesis of pyrroloindolines using a diastereoselective approach.

An environmentally friendly and efficient protocol (KX/oxone) for oxidative halocyclization of tryptamine/tryptophol derivatives was developed and demonstrated with 28 examples and concise total synthesis of cyclotryptamine alkaloid protubonines A and B. The distinct advantage of this protocol over all previous methods is that no organic byproduct is generated from a halogenating agent or oxidant, thus greatly reducing the environmental impact of halocyclization and facilitating the post-reaction purification.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is considered as an important therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, chronic infections and other diseases that are associated with immune suppression. Recent developments in understanding the catalytic mechanism of the IDO1 enzyme revealed that conversion of l-tryptophan (l-Trp) to N-formylkynurenine proceeded through an epoxide intermediate state. Accordingly, we synthesized a series of 3-substituted oxindoles from l-Trp, tryptamine and isatin. Compounds with C3-substituted oxindole moieties showed moderate inhibitory activity against the purified human IDO1 enzyme. Their optimization led to the identification of potent compounds, 6, 22, 23 and 25 (IC50 = 0.19 to 0.62 μM), which are competitive inhibitors of IDO1 with respect to l-Trp. These potent compounds also showed IDO1 inhibition potencies in the low-micromolar range (IC50 = 0.33-0.49 μM) in MDA-MB-231 cells. The cytotoxicity of these potent compounds was trivial in different model cancer (MDA-MB-231, A549 and HeLa) cells and macrophage (J774A.1) cells. Stronger selectivity for the IDO1 enzyme (124 to 210-fold) over the tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) enzyme was also observed for these compounds. These results suggest that the oxindole moiety of the compounds could mimic the epoxide intermediate state of l-Trp. Therefore, the structural simplicity and low-micromolar inhibition potencies of these 3-substituted oxindoles make them quite attractive for further investigation of IDO1 function and immunotherapeutic applications.

The endo trick: An endo ring closure onto the trigonal β carbon atom of α,β-unsaturated acceptors that are tethered to the indole nitrogen atom followed by amide cleavage enables the diastereoselective C-2 alkenylation of indoles with fully substituted double bonds. The carboxy group functions as a synthetically useful temporary tether (see scheme). Copyright
