Synthesis of Dithiolethiones and Identification of Potential Neuroprotective Agents via Activation of Nrf2-Driven Antioxidant Enzymes

Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of neurodegenerative disorders, and accordingly, dietary supplement of exogenous antioxidants or/and upregulation of the endogenous antioxidant defense system are promising for therapeutic intervention or chemoprevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Nrf2, a master regulator of the cellular antioxidant machinery, cardinally participates in the transcription of cytoprotective genes against oxidative/electrophilic stresses. Herein, we report the synthesis of 59 structurally diverse dithiolethiones and evaluation of their neuroprotection against 6-hydroxydopamine-or H2O2-induced oxidative damages in PC12 cells, a neuron-like rat pheochromocytoma cell line. Initial screening identified compounds 10 and 11 having low cytotoxicity but conferring remarkable protection on PC12 cells from oxidative-mediated damages. Further studies demonstrated that both compounds upregulated a battery of antioxidant genes as well as corresponding genes' products. Significantly, silence of Nrf2 expression abolishes cytoprotection of 10 and 11, indicating targeting Nrf2 activation is pivotal for their cellular functions. Taken together, the two lead compounds discovered here with potent neuroprotective functions against oxidative stress via Nrf2 activation merit further development as therapeutic or chemopreventive candidates for neurodegenerative disorders.

Method for synthesizing 1,2-disulfide-3-thioketone derivative by using copper to catalyze

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing 1,2-disulfide-3-thioketone derivative by copper-catalyzed propargylamine sulfur cyclization, and the method comprises the following steps: N, N-dimethyl-3-phenyl propyl-2-alkynyl-1-amine is taken as a substrate, cuprous chloride, cuprous bromide or cuprous iodide is added into the substrate to serve as a catalyst, potassium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate or sodium acetate is taken as an alkali, elemental sulfur is taken as a sulfur source, stirring reaction is performed in a solvent for 12 hours at the temperature of 100-120 DEG C. The elemental sulfur is used as the sulfur source, and the method has the advantages of simple and easily available raw materials, simple reaction operation, relatively mild conditions, wide substrate universality, relatively high yield and good functional group compatibility.

Copper-Catalyzed Tandem Sulfuration/Annulation of Propargylamines with Sulfur via C-N Bond Cleavage

Copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative sulfuration and annulation of propargylamines with elemental sulfur is described. The tandem reaction involves C-N bond cleavage and the formation of multiple C-S bonds, affording 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones in good to excellent yields with good functional group tolerance.

1,2-dithio-3-thioketone derivative synthesized by cyclizing of fluorine-sulfur removal of trifluoropropyne via copper catalyzing

The invention discloses a 1,2-dithio-3-thioketone derivative synthesized by cyclizing of fluorine-sulfur removal of trifluoropropyne via copper catalyzing. The 1,2-dithio-3-thioketone derivative is prepared by the following steps of using a 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1 propene compound as a primer; adding cuprous bromide as a catalyst into the primer, using cesium carbonate as alkaline, using tetramethylethylenediamine as a ligand, using elemental sulfur as a sulfur source, and stirring to react for 12 hours in a N,N-dimethyl formamide solvent at the temperature of 120 DEG C; after reaction is finished, filtering a reaction liquid, extracting a filtrate twice by a saturated sodium chloride solution, reversely extracting once, separating to obtain an organic phase, and drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate; filtering again, and removing the solvent out of the filtrate by a rotary evaporator, so as to obtain the remaining matter; performing column chromatography separating on the remainingmatter by a silicon gel column, spraying by an elution solution, and collecting an effluent solution containing the target product; combining the effluent solution, concentrating under the vacuum condition, and removing the solvent, so as to obtain the target product. The 1,2-dithio-3-thioketone derivative has the advantages that the raw materials are simple and are easy to obtain, the preparationtechnology is novel and simple, the pollution is little, the energy consumption is low, and the yield rate is high.

A simple and practical strategy for the preparation of 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones via copper-catalyzed defluorinative thioannulation of trifluoropropynes has been developed using elemental sulfur as the sole sulfur source. This reaction displays a wide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance to afford the corresponding S-heterocycles in moderate to good yields and features efficient construction of multiple C?S bonds through C?F bond cleavage of CF3 groups.
