An efficient approach for the double acetylation of 5,11-dihexyl-6,12-di(hetero)aryl-substituted 5,11-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazoles with acetic anhydride in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate has been developed, thus affording the corresponding 2

Background: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used for many years, but the chronic use of NSAID’s leads to gastric side effects, ulceration and kidney problems. These side effects are due to non-selective inhibition of COX-2 along with COX-1. Therefore, it is imperative to develop novel and selective COX-2 inhibitors. Objective: In this paper wehave synthesized a series of novel hybrids comprising of substituted-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-benzo[d]oxazole derivatives and screened for the treatment of inflammation. Methods: The structures of the obtained compounds were elucidated by elemental and spectral analysis (ATR-FTIR,1 H NMR,13 C NMR, Mass spectroscopy). All of the compounds were evaluated for cyclooxygenase (COX-1/COX-2) inhibitory activity by in vitro enzymatic assay. The compound which showed COX-2 activity (3a-3e, 3g – 3h, 3k, 3m and 3o) was further screened for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and ulcerogenic liability. Molecular docking study was also performed with resolved crystal structure of COX-2 to understand the binding mechanism of newly synthesized inhibitors in the active site of COX-2enzyme. Results: The in vitro COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory studies showed that the synthesized compounds potentially inhibited COX-2 (IC50 = 0.04 – 26.41 μM range) over COX-1 (IC50 = 0.98 – 33.33 μM range). The in vivo studies predicted that compounds 3c (70.9%, 0.6±0.22), 3m (68.1%, 1.9±0.41) and 3o (70.4%, 1.7±0.27) produced more efficacy against carrageenan induced paw edema and less ulcerogenic effect, as compared to standard ibuprofen (65.9%, 2.2±0.44). The results of docking studies were found to be concordant with the biological evaluation studies of the prepared compound. Conclusion: Among all the tested compounds, 2-Chloro-N-(2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-benzo[d]oxazol-5-yl)-benzamide (3c) was the most potent anti-inflammatory agent and has less ulcerogenic potential. This series of compound can be explored more for development of safer and more active anti-inflammatory agents.

The scope of dihydropyranone and dihydropyridinone products accessible by isothiourea-catalyzed processes has been expanded and explored through the use of 2-N-tosyliminoacrylates and 2-aroylacrylates in a Michael addition-lactonization/lactamization cascade reaction. Notably, to ensure reproducibility it is essential to use homoanhydrides as ammonium enolate precursors with 2-aroyl acrylates, while carboxylic acids can be used with 2-N-tosyliminoacrylates, delivering a range of 3,5,6-substituted dihydropyranones and dihydropyridinones with high enantioselectivity (typically >90 % ee). The derivatization of the heterocyclic core of a 3,5,6-substituted dihydropyranone through hydrogenation is also reported.

An efficient mixed reagent for direct synthesis of symmetrical carboxylic anhydrides from carboxylic acids has been prepared. Carboxylic acids are converted to anhydrides using triphenylphosphine/ trichloroisocyanuric acid under mild reaction conditions at room temperature. Short reaction time, excellent yields of products, low cost, availability of reagents, simple experimental procedure, and easy work-up of the products are the main advantages of the presented method.

A highly enantioselective Lewis base-catalysed formal [3+2] cycloaddition of ammonium enolates and oxaziridines to give stereodefined oxazolidin-4-ones in high yield is described. Employing an enantioenriched oxaziridine in this process leads to a matched/mis-matched effect with the isothiourea catalyst and allowed the synthesis of either syn- or anti-stereodefined oxazolidin-4-ones in high d.r., yield and ee. Additionally, the oxazolidin-4-one products have been derivatised to afford functionalised enantioenriched building blocks.
