Psoriasis is a kind of chronic inflammatory skin disorder, while the long-term use of conventional therapies for this disease are limited by severe adverse effects. Novel small molecules associated with new therapeutic mechanisms are greatly needed. It is known that phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) plays a central role in regulating inflammatory responses through hydrolyzing intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), making PDE4 to be an important target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases (e.g. psoriasis). In our previous work, we identified a series of novel PDE4 inhibitors with a tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold through structure-based drug design, among which compound 1 showed moderate inhibition activity against PDE4. In this study, a series of novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were developed based on the crystal structure of PDE4D in complex with compound 1. Anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds were evaluated, and compound 36, with high safety, permeability and selectivity, exhibited significant inhibitory potency against the enzymatic activity of PDE4D and the TNF-α release from the LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 and hPBMCs. Moreover, an in vivo study demonstrated that a topical administration of 36 achieved more significant efficacy than calcipotriol to improve the features of psoriasis-like skin inflammation. Overall, our study provides a basis for further development of tetrahydroisoquinoline-based PDE4 inhibitors against psoriasis.
Enhancement of the carbamate activation rate enabled syntheses of tetracyclic benzolactams: 8-oxoberbines and their 5- And 7-membered C-ring homologues

A route to the direct amidation of aromatic-ring-tetheredN-carbamoyl tetrahydroisoquinoline substrates was developed. This route enabled general access to 8-oxoberberines and their 5- and 7- membered C-ring homologues. It overcomes the undesired tandem side-reactions that result in the destruction of the isoquinoline backbone, which inevitably occurred under our previously reported superacidic carbamate activation method.
Development of Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed tandem oxidation of C[sbnd]N, C[sbnd]C, and C(sp3)–H bonds: Concise synthesis of 1-aroylisoquinoline, oxoaporphine, and 8-oxyprotoberberine alkaloids

A catalytic tandem oxidation of C[sbnd]N, C[sbnd]C, and C(sp3)–H bonds is developed. This tandem oxidation is applied to two-step total syntheses of papaveraldine and pulcheotine A. Additionally, the total synthesis of liriodenine is achieved in six steps from homopiperonyl alcohol and 2-bromophenylacetonitrile by applying this catalytic tandem oxidation. Moreover, the direct conversion of xylopinine to 8-oxypseudopalmatine in a 76% yield demonstrates the versatility of this catalytic reaction.

The development of a method that uses molybdenum hexacarbonyl [Mo(CO)6] as carbon monoxide (CO) surrogate for the palladium-catalyzed reductive cyclization of nitroalkenes into indoles or thienopyrroles is reported. Several types of nitroalkenes could be transformed into the desired products in excellent yields and in most cases with complete regioselectivities and higher yields than those previously reported with palladium/CO system.
Application of differential reactivity towards synthesis of lamellarin and 8-oxoprotoberberine derivatives: Study of photochemical properties of aryl-substituted benzofuran-8-oxoprotoberberines

A unique differential reactivity between dihydroisoquinolines and 3-nitrocoumarins was observed and was exploited for the efficient construction of lamellarins and their isomeric benzofuran-8-oxoprotoberberine derivatives under acid-catalyzed or base-promoted conditions. Further, these prepared aryl-substituted benzofuran-8-oxoprotoberberine derivatives bearing electron-donating substituents on benzofuran moiety are found to be benchtop stable but light-sensitive, and can undergo oxidative ring-opening reaction to give the corresponding keto products when exposed to visible light under aerobic conditions.

Despite the therapeutic potential of marine-derived lamellarin natural products, their preclinical development has been hampered by their lipophilic nature, causing very poor aqueous solubility. In order to develop more drug-like analogs, their structure was streamlined in this study from both the cytotoxic activity and lipophilicity standpoints. First, a modified total synthetic route was successfully devised to construct a library of 59 systematically designed lamellarin analogs, which were then subjected to cytotoxicity and log P determinations. Along with the 25 first-generation lamellarins previously synthesized in our laboratory, the structure-activity and structure-lipophilicity relationships were extensively evaluated. Our results clearly indicated the additional structural requirements around the lamellarin skeleton which, when combined with those reported previously, can provide invaluable guidance for further modifications to increase the aqueous solubility of these compounds.

A general and environmentally responsible method for the formation of amide/peptide bonds in an aqueous micellar medium is described. Use of uronium salt (1-cyano-2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidenaminooxy)dimethylaminomorpholinocarbenium hexafluorophosphate (COMU) as a coupling reagent, 2,6-lutidine, and TPGS-750-M represents mild conditions associated with these valuable types of couplings. The aqueous reaction medium is recyclable leading to low E Factors.
