Alkene Synthesis by Photo-Wolff-Kischner Reaction of Sulfur Ylides and N-Tosylhydrazones

A visible-light-driven and room temperature photo-Wolff-Kischner reaction of sulfur ylides and N-tosylhydrazones has been developed for the first time to provide modular access to alkene synthesis. The high functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope were demonstrated by more than 60 examples. Both E- and Z-olefinic stereochemistry in the products could be controlled with excellent stereoselectivity. A series of mechanistic studies support that the reaction should proceed through a radical-carbanion crossover pathway, specifically involving addition of photo-generated sulfur ylide radical cations to N-tosylhydrazones to form carbanions and subsequent Wolff-Kischner process.

Synthesis, cytotoxic, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory effects of new 2-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(aryl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzo[d]thiazole derivatives

2-(3-[4-Methoxyphenyl]-5-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzo[d]thiazoles (1b-7b) were synthesized for the first time except 1b, and spectral methods such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS were utilized to illuminate the chemical structures of the synthesized compounds. Phenyl (1b), 2-methoxyphenyl (2b), 4-methoxyphenyl (3b), 4-methoxy-3-hydroxyphenyl (4b), 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl (5b), 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl (6b), or thiophene-2-yl (7b) was used as a aryl part. The inhibitory effects of the compounds were evaluated toward human carbonic anhydrase I and II enzymes (hCA I and hCA II). In vitro cytotoxic effects of the compounds against human oral squamous carcinomas and human normal oral cells were carried out via MTT. The compounds (1b-7b) had Ki values of 36.87 ± 11.62-66.24 ± 2.99 μM (hCA I) and 22.66 ± 1.41-89.95 ± 6.25 μM (hCA II). Compounds 1b (Ki = 36.87 ± 11.62 μM) toward hCA I, 6b (Ki = 22.66 ± 1.41 μM) toward hCA II had significant enzyme inhibitory potency. Compound 6b had the highest tumor selectivity (TS = 29.3) and potency selectivity expression (PSE = 272.3) values. Therefore, compounds 1b and 6b with CAs inhibition effect and compound 6b with the cytotoxicity may be forwarded to further studies as potent compounds.

Biological evaluation and synthesis of new pyrimidine-2(1H)-ol/-thiol derivatives derived from chalcones using the solid phase microwave method

Twenty-five new hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ol (20–34) and 4,6-diarylpyri-midine-2(1H)-thiol derivatives (35–44) were synthesized from the reaction of the corresponding 1,3-diaryl-2-propene-1-one compounds (1–19) with urea or thiourea using the solid-phase microwave method. All the new synthetic compounds (20–44) were evaluated with regard to their α-glucosidase activity. However, only compounds 22–25, 27, 31, 34, 35, 37, and 40 exhibited a greater inhibitory effect than standard acarbose. The IC50 values of the active compounds ranged between 2.36 and 13.34 μM. The 25 new compounds were also screened for their in vitro pancreatic lipase activity and compounds 20–27 and 35–39 were found to be active. Of these compounds 26, 27, and 39 exhibited the best antilipase activities at concentrations of 0.40 ± 0.06, 0.26 ± 0.07, and 0.29 ± 0.026 μM. All the new compounds (20–44) were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity for nine test microorganisms. Compounds 20–24 and 35–39 were determined to possess a significant broad spectrum against the gram-positive bacteria Escherichia faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus among the tested bacterial agents. Compounds 20–24 and 35–39 exhibit the best activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 62.5–500 μg/mL, indicating their potential use as antituberculous agents.

Hansch’s analysis application to chalcone synthesis by Claisen–Schmidt reaction based in DFT methodology

Chalcones are bioactive compounds obtained from either natural sources or synthetic procedures and widely used due to their several biological properties. The most common experimental methodology in obtaining these compounds is Claisen–Schmidt reaction, which is a particular type of aldolic condensation. In this work, we have synthesized 23 chalcones and by density functional theory (DFT) calculation, we have studied the difference in reactivity of the several benzaldehydes and their effects on the yield of this reaction. From molecular orbital descriptors were obtained two quantitative structure–reactivity relationship (QSRR) models based on Hansch’s analysis. The results of this study showed that, for the most benzaldehydes (15 of 23 compounds), their reactivity was correlated with LUMO energy and global Electrophilicity Index (ω) values, which are determined in the first step of Claisen–Schmidt condensation mechanism (nucleophilic addition). Likewise, for the smallest group of benzaldehydes, their reactivity was related to their HOMO and ΔL???H (LUMO???HOMO) energies, which were determined in the second step of the mechanism (trans-elimination). This is the first report of a QSRR model analyzing the yield of chalcone synthesis based on DFT methodology.

Synthesis of a series of unsaturated ketone derivatives as selective and reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors

We have synthesized three categories of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives and evaluated their MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitory activities. Among them, compound 10b including α,β-unsaturated ketone group showed the most potent and selective MAO-B inhibitory activity (IC50 human MAO-B 16 nM, >6000-fold selective vs MAO-A) and compound 10b exhibited good reversibility compared with selegiline, a well-known irreversible MAO-B inhibitor. However, both α,β-unsaturated amide and ester derivatives exhibited weaker MAO-B inhibition potencies. The docking studies provided insights into the possible binding modes and the key interaction sites of the synthesized MAO-B inhibitors.

Synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of alkoxylated chalcones

A series of chalcones a1-20 bearing a 4-OMe groups on the A-ring were initially synthesized and their anticancer activities towards HepG2 cells evaluated. Subsequently, a series of chalcones b1-42 bearing methoxy groups at the 2′ and 6′-positions of the B-ring were synthesized and their anticancer activities towards five human cancer cell lines (HepG2, HeLa, MCF-7, A549 and SW1990) and two non-tumoral human cell lines evaluated. The results showed that six compounds (b6, b8, b11, b16, b18, b22, b23 and b29) displayed promising activities, with compounds b22 and b29 in particular showing higher levels of activity than etoposide against all five cancer cell lines. Compound b29 showed a promising SI value compared with both HMLE and L02 (2.1-6.5 fold in HMLE and > 33 > 103.1 fold in L02, respectively).

Chalcones with electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents: Anticancer activity against TRAIL resistant cancer cells, structure-activity relationship analysis and regulation of apoptotic proteins

In the present study, a series of 46 chalcones were synthesised and evaluated for antiproliferative activities against the human TRAIL-resistant breast (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231), cervical (HeLa), ovarian (Caov-3), lung (A549), liver (HepG2), colorectal (HT-29), nasopharyngeal (CNE-1), erythromyeloblastoid (K-562) and T-lymphoblastoid (CEM-SS) cancer cells. The chalcone 38 containing an amino (-NH2) group on ring A was the most potent and selective against cancer cells. The effects of the chalcone 38 on regulation of 43 apoptosis-related markers in HT-29 cells were determined. The results showed that 20 apoptotic markers (Bad, Bax, Bcl-2, Bcl-w, Bid, Bim, CD40, Fas, HSP27, IGF-1, IGFBP-4, IGFBP-5, Livin, p21, Survivin, sTNF-R2, TRAIL-R2, XIAP, caspase-3 and caspase-8) were either up regulated or down regulated.
