Discovery of pyridoindole derivatives as potential inhibitors for phosphodiesterase 5A: in silico and in?vivo studies

The aim of this work was to synthesise derivatives from identified plant based pyridoindole lead scaffold, and to assess phosphodiesterase 5A inhibitory potential by in silico and in?vivo. Pyridoindole derivatives were synthesised by using six-stage reactor. In silico screening was carried out by grip-based docking methodology. In step-I, tryptophan as a starting material was reacted with different aldehydes and ketones to obtain 11 molecules. In step-II, obtained molecules were reacted with ethanol and benzyl alcohols to obtain D1 to D22 derivatives. In silico investigation resulted in best three molecules D12, D4 and D8 with promising BE score. Oral acute toxicity study of selected molecules resulted in LD50 value 500 mg/kg in rats. The result of in?vivo antihypertensive study shown that molecule D12 was found to be the best antihypertensive lead molecule. This study could be a best platform to tailor novel biomolecules for inhibiting phosphodiesterase 5A enzyme in hypertension management.

Bimetallic catalyzed N-arylation used in synthesis of novel β-carbolines derivatives

Background: Natural occurring β-Carbolines alkaloids are abundant in the plant king-dom or other organisms, and they were found to possess good antitumor activity through multiple mechanisms. Based on previous summarized SARs of β-carboline derivatives, t

Organic base-promoted efficient dehydrogenative/decarboxylative aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines into β-carbolines under air

Organic base DBN has been identified as an efficient reagent for promoting the dehydrogenative/decarboxylative aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines under air atmosphere, to access the corresponding β-carbolines in moderate to good yields. The utility of this protocol for the gram-scale synthesis of β-carboline alkaloids eudistomin U (7) and harmane (10) has also been demonstrated.

Direct Biomimetic Synthesis of β-Carboline Alkaloids from Two Amino Acids

The increasing importance of enzyme mimics in organic synthesis inspired us to design a novel biomimetic synthesis of β-carboline alkaloids directly from tryptophan and a second amino acid. This novel one-pot protocol utilizes abundant and readily available starting materials and thus presents a green and user-friendly alternative to conventional methods that rely on stepwise synthesis. Driven by molecular iodine and TFA, decarboxylation, deamination, Pictet-Spengler reaction, and oxidation reactions proceeded sequentially, transforming biomass amino acids into value-added alkaloid motifs.

Synthesis and preliminary evaluation of novel alkyl diamine linked bivalent β-carbolines as angiogenesis inhibitors

A series of novel bivalent β-carbolines linked with an alkyl diamine spacer at the C-3 position were synthesized and evaluated as potent angiogenesis inhibitors. The results demonstrated that most bivalent β-carbolines displayed significant anti-proliferative effects against EA.HY926 human umbilical vein cell lines. Compound 8z was found to be the most potent anti-proliferative agent with an IC50 value of 1.10 μM against EA.HY926 cell lines. Preliminary investigations on the mechanisms of action revealed that compound 8z could dramatically inhibit EA.HY926 cell migration and tube formation in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, compound 8z exhibited significant angiogenesis inhibitory effects in CAM assay, and the anti-angiogenic potency was comparable with that of the reference drug Endostar. These molecules might serve as candidates for further development into vascular-targeting antitumor drugs.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of piperazine group-linked bivalent β-carbolines as potential antitumor agents

A series of novel bivalent β-carbolines with a piperazine group spacer between 3-methylene units were synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents. The results demonstrated that compounds 7e and 7g exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activities against ten tumor cell lines. Structure-activity relationships analysis indicated that (1) the substituents in positions 1 and 9 of the β-carboline ring played a significant role in modulating the antitumor activity; (2) the introduction of alkyl groups into position-9 of the β-carboline nucleus enhanced their cytotoxic potencies and the butyl substituent was the optimal group. Investigation of the preliminary mechanism of action demonstrated that compound 7g showed obvious anti-angiogenic activity in the in vivo CAM assay, and the potency was similar to that of CA4P (200 μM).

Synthesis and herbicidal activity evaluation of novel β-carboline derivatives

Based on the original structure of harmine, several novel 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β- carboline, β-carboline and 1-substituted-β- carboline derivatives bearing a substituted carbohydrazide group at C-3 were designed and synthesized to investigate the structureactivity relationship of their analogues. All of the compounds were characterized by infrared (IR), proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR), and mass spectroscopy (MS). The bioassay tests showed that N'-benzylidene-1-phenyl-β- carboline-3-carbohydrazide (C25H 18N4O, m.w. 390.4) (c2) and N'-(4- trifluoromethylbenzylidene)- 1-phenyl-β-carboline-3-carbohydrazide (C26H17N4OF3, m.w. 458) (d2) exhibited good inhibitory activity against dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous weeds, with EC50 values of 4.83 μM and 14.25 μM, respectively.

Application of chlorotrimethylsilane in Pictet-Spengler reaction

Cytotoxic and insecticidal activities of derivatives of harmine, a natural insecticidal component isolated from peganum harmala

In a continuing effort to develop novel β-carbolines endowed with better insecticidal activity, a simple high-yielding method for the synthesis of harmine compounds starting from L-tryptophan has been developed and a series of 1,3-substituted β-carboline derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against insect cultured Sf9 cell line in vitro and insecticidal activities against 4th instar larvae of mosquitos, Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi. The results demonstrated that 1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (compound 2) and methyl 1-phenyl-β-carboline-3-carboxylate (compound 13) represented the best potential compounds, with Sf9 cells inhibition rates of 71.55% and 60.21% after 24 h treatment at concentrations of 50-200 mg/L, respectively. Both compounds 2 and 13 also showed strong insecticidal activity towards 4th instar larvae of mosquitos with LC50 values of 20.82 mg/L and 23.98 mg/L, and their LC90 values were 88.29 mg/L and 295.13 mg/L, respectively. Furthermore, the LC50 values of compounds 2 and 13 against mustard aphids were 53.16 mg/L and 68.05 mg/L, and their LC 90 values were 240.10 mg/L and 418.63 mg/L after 48 h treatment. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these compounds was consistent with the insecticidal activity in vivo. The results indicated that the 1- and 3-positions of the β-carboline ring deserve further investigation to develop biorational insecticides based on the natural compound harmine as a lead compound.
