Galectin-8 is a β-galactoside-recognizing protein having an important role in the regulation of bone remodeling and cancer progression and metastasis. Methyl β-d-galactopyranoside malonyl aromatic esters have been designed to target and engage with particular amino acid residues of the galectin-8N extended carbohydrate-binding site. The chemically synthesized compounds had in vitro binding affinity toward galectin-8N in the range of 5-33 μM, as evaluated by isothermal titration calorimetry. This affinity directly correlated with the compounds' ability to inhibit galectin-8-induced expression of chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines in the SUM159 breast cancer cell line. X-ray crystallographic structure determination revealed that these monosaccharide-based compounds bind galectin-8N by engaging its unique arginine (Arg59) and simultaneously cross-linking to another arginine (Arg45) located across the carbohydrate-binding site. This structure-based drug design approach has led to the discovery of novel monosaccharide galactose-based antagonists, with the strongest-binding compound (Kd 5.72 μM) holding 7-fold tighter than the disaccharide lactose.

In this work, a series of water-soluble propofol prodrugs were synthesized, and their propofol release rate and pharmacodynamic characteristics were measured. We found that inserting glycolic acid as a linker between propofol and the cyclic amino acid accelerated the release of propofol from prodrugs into the plasma while preserving its safety. In animal experiments, prodrugs (3e, 3g, and 3j) were significantly better than fospropofol (the only water-soluble propofol prodrug that has been used clinically) in terms of safety, onset, and duration time of anesthesia. Their molar dose, onset time, and anesthesia duration time were comparable to those of propofol, helping to maintain the clinical benefits of propofol. The experimental results showed the potential of such compounds as water-soluble prodrugs of propofol.

Coenzyme A (CoA) is a highly selective inhibitor of the mitotic regulatory enzyme Aurora A kinase, with a novel mode of action. Herein we report the design and synthesis of analogues of CoA as inhibitors of Aurora A kinase. We have designed and synthesised modified CoA structures as potential inhibitors, combining dicarbonyl mimics of the pyrophosphate group with a conserved adenosine headgroup and different length pantetheine-based tail groups. An analogue with a -SH group at the end of the pantotheinate tail showed the best IC50, probably due to the formation of a covalent bond with Aurora A kinase Cys290.

Inhibitors of the enzyme xanthine oxidase (XO) with radical scavenging properties hold promise as novel agents against reperfusion injuries after ischemic events. By suppressing the formation of damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) by XO or scavenging ROS from other sources, these compounds may prevent a buildup of ROS in the aftermath of a heart attack or stroke. To combine these two properties in a single molecule, we synthesized and characterized the non-purine XO inhibitor caffeic acid phenethylester (CAPE) and 19 derivatives using a convenient microwave-assisted Knoevenagel condensation protocol. Varying systematically the number and positions of the hydroxyl groups at the two phenyl rings, we derived structure-activity relationships based on experimentally determined XO inhibition data. Molecular docking suggested that critical enzyme/inhibitor interactions involved π-π interactions between the phenolic inhibitor ring and Tyr914, hydrogen bonds between inhibitor hydroxyl groups and Glu802, and hydrophobic interactions between the CAPE phenyl ring and non-polar residues located at the entrance of the binding site. To effectively scavenge the stable radical DPPH, two hydroxyl groups in 1,2- or 1,4-position at the phenyl ring were required. Among all compounds tested, E-phenyl 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate, a CAPE analog without the ethyl tether, showed the most promising properties.

A novel series of N1-(substiruted pyridine-2-yl)-N3-(quinoline-2-yl) malonamide derivatives (AK1-AK24) has been rationally designed, synthesized and biologically screened for in vitro anti HIV activity by using reverse transcriptase assay kit (Roche). Out of the synthesized compounds, compound AK1, AK2 and AK3 show potent reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor activity and compounds AK4 to AK9, AK11, AK12, AK13 and AK14 show RT inhibitory activity comparable with standard rilpivirine. In docking studies, those compounds show higher G-Score which indicates higher percentage of inhibition of reverse transcriptase during in vitro screening. Insilico pharmacokinetic studies imply that synthesized derivatives have no CYP450 inhibition, no BBB penetration and good oral absorption. Virtual toxicity studies performed by using Toxtree-v 2.6.6 in various computational animal models show high LD50 values and the compounds are found to be non-carcinogenic.

We present an effective deacylative alkylation strategy for the construction of a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudobenzylic position. A wide variety of products with quaternary centers could be accessed by employing simple Pd(0) catalysis under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, the same strategy works equally well for the dimeric 2-oxindole system, furnishing products with a vicinal quaternary center in favour of meso-isomer as the major product. Eventual application to the total syntheses of meso-chimonanthine and meso-folicanthine very well demonstrates the synthetic potential of this strategy.

The synthesis of a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudo benzylic position has been achieved via a 'transition-metal-free' intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling (IDC). The construction of 2-oxindole moieties was carried out through formation of carbon-carbon bonds using KOt-Bu-catalyzed one pot C-alkylation of β-N-arylamido esters with alkyl halides followed by a dehydrogenative coupling. Experimental evidences indicated toward a radical-mediated path for this reaction.

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to remain one of the most threatening diseases in the world. With the emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) strains, the need to develop new therapies is dire. The syntheses of a focused library of hydroxamates and hydroxamic acids is described, as well as anti-TB activity in the microplate alamar blue assay (MABA). A number of compounds exhibited good activity against Mtb, with notable compounds exhibiting MIC values in the range of 20-0.71 μM. This work suggests that both hydroxamates and their free acids may be incorporated into more complex scaffolds and serve as potential leads for the development of anti-TB agents.

We developed two efficient protocols for the synthesis of feruloyl and caffeoyl derivatives from commercial vanillin and veratraldehyde. Pharmacological activities were assessed against a panel of human cancer cell lines in vitro. Most synthesized compounds demonstrated attractive cytotoxicity. Several new compounds demonstrated significant antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities against HeLa and Bewo tumor cell lines. In particular, 5-nitro caffeic adamantyl ester showed broad spectrum of tumor inhibition in 10 cell lines, and reduced tumor weight by 36.7% in vivo when administered at a dose of 40 mg kg-1.

An efficient route to 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudobenzylic position has been developed via a DDQ-mediated Intramolecular-Dehydrogenative-Coupling (IDC). The methodology involves a one-pot C-alkylation of β-N-arylamido esters (7) concomitant with dehydrogenative-coupling in the presence of stoichiometric amount of DDQ. A tentative mechanistic route has been proposed for the oxidative coupling. The methodology provides a two-step entry to the ergoline structure of ergot alkaloids.
