We identified nitazoxanide (NTZ) as a moderate STAT3 pathway inhibitor through immunoblot analysis and a cell-based IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway activation assay. A series of thiazolide derivatives were designed and synthesized to further validate the thiazolide scaffold as STAT3 inhibitors. Eight out of 25 derivatives displayed potencies greater than that of NTZ, and their STAT3 pathway inhibitory activities were found to be significantly correlated with their antiproliferative activities in HeLa cells. Derivatives 15 and 24 were observed to be more potent than the positive control WP1066, which is under phase I clinical trials. Compared with NTZ, 15 also exhibited much improved in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters in rats and efficacies against proliferations in multiple cancer cell lines, indicating a broad-spectrum effect of these thiazolides as antitumor agents targeted on STAT3.

In order to develop novel herbicides, a series of novel acylthiourea derivatives containing methylsulfone were synthesized and characterized by melting point, elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the preliminary herbicidal activity of title compounds was determined against Echinochloa crusgal, Polypogon fugax, Digitaria adscendens, Brassica napus, Amaranthus retroflexus and Abutilon theophrasti. The results of the petri dish experiments showed that a small part of title compounds had a good inhibitory effect on Digitaria adscendens and Brassica napus. The results of the greenhouse herbicidal activity experiments indicated that the compounds 4p, 4 w and 4x exhibited more high herbicidal activity against Brassica napus and Digitaria adscendens than the commercial herbicide bensulfuron-methyl. Moreover, except for compound 4i, all test compounds performed well in crop safety evaluation. Next, acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) enzyme activity experiments were carried out, and the results showed that compound 4x had the highest inhibition rate reaching 89.12%. Finally, in order to screen AHAS inhibitor, molecular docking was performed by using AHAS protein and target ligand molecules 4a-4x. The results of molecular docking were similar to bioassay experiments. Compound 4p, 4w and 4x were considered potential AHAS inhibitors.

Found in biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, amide-containing molecules are ubiquitous in nature, and their derivatization represents a significant methodological goal in fluorine chemistry. Trifluoromethyl amides have emerged as important functional groups frequently found in pharmaceutical compounds. To date, there is no strategy for synthesizing N-trifluoromethyl amides from abundant organic carboxylic acid derivatives, which are ideal starting materials in amide synthesis. Here, we report the synthesis of N-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acid halides and esters under mild conditions via isothiocyanates in the presence of silver fluoride at room temperature. Through this strategy, isothiocyanates are desulfurized with AgF, and then the formed derivative is acylated to afford N-trifluoromethyl amides, including previously inaccessible structures. This method shows broad scope, provides a platform for rapidly generating N-trifluoromethyl amides by virtue of the diversity and availability of both reaction partners, and should find application in the modification of advanced intermediates.

A series of anthranilamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as novel smoothened (SMO) inhibitors based on the SMO inhibitor taladegib (LY2940680), which can also inhibit the SMO-D473H mutant, via a ring-opening strategy. The phthalazine core in LY2940680 was replaced with anthranilamide, which retained the inhibitory activity towards the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway as evidenced by a dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Compound 12a displayed the best inhibitory activity against the Hh signaling pathway with IC50 value of 34.09 nM, and exhibited better proliferation inhibitory activity towards the Daoy cell line (IC50 = 0.48 μM) than LY2940680 (IC50 = 0.79 μM).

We have developed a copper-mediated C–H thiolation of (hetero)arenes by using monodentate amide as weakly coordinating directing group. This protocol features excellent functional group tolerance and shows satisfactory compatibility with various heterocycles, such as indole, pyrrole, imidazole, pyridine, thiophene and quinoline. The robust nature of this protocol renders that it has potential value in the synthetic application.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a subset of breast cancers, have poorer survival than other breast cancer types. Recent studies have demonstrated that the abnormal Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is activated in TNBC and that these treatment-resistant cancers are sensitive to inhibition of the Hh pathway. Smoothened (Smo) protein is a vital constituent in Hh signaling and an attractive drug target. Vismodegib (VIS) is one of the most widely studied Smo inhibitors. But the clinical application of Smo inhibitors is limited to adult patients with BCC and AML, with many side effects. Therefore, it's necessary to develop novel Smo inhibitor with better profiles. Twenty [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines were designed, synthesized and screened as Smo inhibitors. Four of these novel compounds showed directly bound to Smo protein with stronger binding affinity than VIS. The new compounds showed broad anti-proliferative activity against cancer cell lines in vitro, especially triple-negative breast cancer cells. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that TPB15 markedly induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MDA-MB-468 cells. TPB15 blocked Smo translocation into the cilia and reduced Smo protein and mRNA expression. Furthermore, the expression of the downstream regulatory factor glioma-associated oncogene 1 (Gli1) was significantly inhibited. Finally, TPB15 demonstrated greater anti-tumor activity in our animal models than VIS with lower toxicity. Hence, these results support further optimization of this novel scaffold to develop improved Smo antagonists.

Herein, we report a Cp*CoIII-catalyzed C?H activation approach as the key step to create highly valuable isoquinolones and pyridones as building blocks that can readily be applied in the total syntheses of a variety of aromathecin, protoberberine, and tylophora alkaloids. This particular C?H activation/annulation reaction was achieved with several terminal as well as internal alkyne coupling partners delivering a broad scope with excellent functional group tolerance. The synthetic applicability of this protocol reported herein was demonstrated in the total syntheses of two Topo-I-Inhibitors and two 8-oxyprotoberberine cores that can be further elaborated into the tetrahydroprotoberberine and the protoberberine alkaloid core. Moreover these building blocks were also transformed to six different tylophora alkaloids in expedient fashion.
