Intensely blue-fluorescent 2,5-bis(benzoimidazol-2-yl)pyrazine dyes with improved solubility: Their synthesis, fluorescent properties, and application as microenvironment polarity probes

In order to improve the solubility of intensively fluorescent 2,5-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyrazine (BBIP), we synthesized new BBIP derivatives (2, 3a,b, and 5a,b) possessing two alkyl chains at the N-1 and N-1′ positions of the two benzimidazole moieties. C

Cell-Based Drug Discovery: Identification and Optimization of Small Molecules that Reduce c-MYC Protein Levels in Cells

Elevated expression of the c-MYC oncogene is one of the most common abnormalities in human cancers. Unfortunately, efforts to identify pharmacological inhibitors that directly target MYC have not yet yielded a drug-like molecule due to the lack of any known small molecule binding pocket in the protein, which could be exploited to disrupt MYC function. We have recently described a strategy to target MYC indirectly, where a screening effort designed to identify compounds that can rapidly decrease endogenous c-MYC protein levels in a MYC-amplified cell line led to the discovery of a compound series that phenocopies c-MYC knockdown by siRNA. Herein, we describe our medicinal chemistry program that led to the discovery of potent, orally bioavailable c-MYC-reducing compounds. The development of a minimum pharmacophore model based on empirical structure activity relationship as well as the property-based approach used to modulate pharmacokinetics properties will be highlighted.

Selenium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of 2-Benzimidazolones from 2-Nitroanilines with TFBen as the CO Source

A selenium-catalyzed carbonylative reaction for the synthesis of 2-benzimidazolones from 2-nitroanilines has been developed. In this strategy, to avoid the usage of toxic CO gas, TFBen (benzene-1,3,5-triyl triformate) was used as a solid and stable CO precursor, and a variety of desired 2-benzimidazolones were produced in moderate to excellent yields.

A new series of N-substituted tetraphenylethene-based benzimidazoles: Aggregation-induced emission, fast-reversible mechanochromism and blue electroluminescence

Four new N-substituted tetraphenylethene-based benzimidazoles N-R-2-(4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)phenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles (R = phenyl (3a), R = 4-(tert-butyl)phenyl (3b), R = n-butyl (3c), R = n-hexyl (3d)) were synthesized conveniently by cyclization reaction of 4-tetraphenylenthenealdehyde with N-substituted ortho-nitroaniline. The four compounds exhibit typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property with relatively high solid state absolute fluorescence quantum yields (38.1–65.7%) and fast-recoverable mechanochromism property with solid-state fluorescence change between blue and yellow-green. They are thermally stable with decomposition temperatures above 319 °C. Both of multilayer electroluminescence devices fabricated with compounds 3b and 3c as emitters are blue emission. The turn-on voltage of device based on compound 3b is 3.3 V with maximum luminance and current efficiency of 2470 cd/m2 and 1.48 cd/A, respectively.

Chemoselective Deprotection of Sulfonamides under Acidic Conditions: Scope, Sulfonyl Group Migration, and Synthetic Applications

Chemoselective acidic hydrolysis of sulfonamides with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid has been evaluated as a deprotection method and further extended to more complex synthetic applications. In contrast to conventional troublesome sulfonamide hydrolysis, a near-stoichiometric amount of acid was found to be sufficient to bring about efficient deprotection of various neutral or electron-deficient N-arylsulfonamides, whereas electron-rich substrates provided sulfonyl group migration products. The deprotection method developed is fully selective for N-arylsulfonamides, and the possibility to discriminate among various different sulfonamides is demonstrated.

Tetraphenylethylene-based blue light material containing benzimidazole unit as well as preparation method and application

The invention discloses a tetraphenylethylene-based blue light material containing a benzimidazole unit. The tetraphenylethylene-based blue light material is shown as a structural formula I or II, wherein R1 is H, tert-butyl, n-butyl or hydroxyl, and R2 is alkyl. A 2-nitro-N-tert-butylphenyl amine or 2-nitro-N-n-butylphenyl amine precursor and a 4-formyl tetraphenylethylene precursor is firstly prepared, and then cyclization reaction is carried out to prepare a compound shown as the formula I or II. A preparation method of the compound is easy to operate, the reaction is moderate and the yield is high; the compound has relatively high decomposition temperature and glass-transition temperature, and shows blue fluorescence; the compound has a relatively good single-color property, so that an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) device prepared by taking the compound as a luminescent material emits blue light; the starting voltage is 3.3V and the maximum brightness efficiency is 1.48cd/A. (The formula I and the formula II are shown in the description).

Imidoyl dichlorides as new reagents for the rapid formation of 2-aminobenzimidazoles and related azoles

The development of a reagent for the efficient synthesis of five- and six-membered azoles at room temperature is proposed. A variety of substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles are synthesized in good to excellent yields. The ability to incorporate various protecting groups makes the imidoyl dichloride reagent amenable to a large number of syntheses. The reagent is applied to the total synthesis of the 2-aminobenzimidazole containing carcinogen, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), from 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine in >60% yield in 6 steps.

Discovery of isoalloxazine derivatives as a new class of potential anti-Alzheimer agents and their synthesis

This article describes discovery of a novel and new class of cholinesterase inhibitors as potential therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease. A series of novel isoalloxazine derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their potential inhibitory outcome for both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). These compounds exhibited high activity against both the enzymes AChE as well as BuChE. Of the synthesized compounds, the most potent isoalloxazine derivatives (7m and 7q) showed IC50 values of 4.72 μM and 5.22 μM respectively against AChE; and, 6.98 μM and 5.29 μM respectively against BuChE. These two compounds were further evaluated for their anti-aggregatory activity for β-amyloid (Aβ) in presence and absence of AChE by performing Thioflavin-T (ThT) assay and Congo red (CR) binding assay. In order to evaluate cytotoxic profile of these two potential compounds, cell viability assay of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells was performed. Further, to understand the binding behavior of these two compounds with AChE and BuChE enzymes, docking studies have been reported.

Synthesis of (alkylamino)nitroarenes by oxidative alkylamination of nitroarenes

The viability of the oxidative alkylamination process for the derivatization of electron-deficient carboaromatics has been investigated. 1,3-Dinitrobenzene, 1-nitronaphthalene, and 1,5- and 1,8-dinitronaphthalenes have shown to react with a wide range of alkylamines in the presence of an oxidant (KMnO4, AgMnO4, AgPy2MnO4) to give access to the corre sponding N-alkyl-nitroarenamines in moderate to good yields. Nitroarenes are more reactive than azines towards alkylamines.
