Central-to-Axial Chirality Conversion Approach Designed on Organocatalytic Enantioselective Povarov Cycloadditions: First Access to Configurationally Stable Indole–Quinoline Atropisomers

The first stereoselective synthesis of enantioenriched axially chiral indole–quinoline systems is presented. The strategy takes advantage of an organocatalytic enantioselective Povarov cycloaddition of 3-alkenylindoles and N-arylimines, followed by an oxi

Azetidinimines as a novel series of non-covalent broad-spectrum inhibitors of β-lactamases with submicromolar activities against carbapenemases KPC-2 (class A), NDM-1 (class B) and OXA-48 (class D)

The occurrence of resistances in Gram negative bacteria is steadily increasing to reach extremely worrying levels and one of the main causes of resistance is the massive spread of very efficient β-lactamases which render most β-lactam antibiotics useless. Herein, we report the development of a series of imino-analogues of β-lactams (namely azetidinimines) as efficient non-covalent inhibitors of β-lactamases. Despite the structural and mechanistic differences between serine-β-lactamases KPC-2 and OXA-48 and metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1, all three enzymes can be inhibited at a submicromolar level by compound 7dfm, which can also repotentiate imipenem against a resistant strain of Escherichia coli expressing NDM-1. We show that 7dfm can efficiently inhibit not only the three main clinically-relevant carbapenemases of Ambler classes A (KPC-2), B (NDM-1) and D (OXA-48) with Ki's below 0.3 μM, but also the cephalosporinase CMY-2 (class C, 86% inhibition at 10 μM). Our results pave the way for the development of a new structurally original family of non-covalent broad-spectrum inhibitors of β-lactamases.

Rhodium catalyzed multicomponent dehydrogenative annulation: one-step construction of isoindole derivatives

A strategy for one-pot synthesis of isoindoles is describedviaa catalytic multicomponent dehydrogenative annulation of diarylimines, vinyl ketones and simple amines. In the presence of a rhodium catalyst and Cu oxidant, four C-H and two N-H bonds are activated along with the formation of one new C-C and two new C-N bonds, leading to a series of isoindole derivatives in good to very high isolated yields.

Synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of 3‐chloroazetidin‐2‐ones with antimitotic activity: Heterocyclic bridged analogues of combretastatin a‐4

Antimitotic drugs that target tubulin are among the most widely used chemotherapeutic agents; however, the development of multidrug resistance has limited their clinical activity. We report the synthesis and biological properties of a series of novel 3‐ch

Oxidative Kinetic Resolution of Acyclic Amines Based on Equilibrium Control

An oxidative kinetic resolution of racemic acyclic amines was developed using an imine derivative as the resolving reagent and chiral phosphoric acid as the catalyst to give enantiomers in good yields with high to excellent enantioselectivities. The key t

3-Vinylazetidin-2-Ones: Synthesis, antiproliferative and tubulin destabilizing activity in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells

Microtubule-targeted drugs are essential chemotherapeutic agents for various types of cancer. A series of 3-vinyl-β-lactams (2-azetidinones) were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential tubulin polymerization inhibitors, and for their antiproliferative effects in breast cancer cells. These compounds showed potent activity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells with an IC50 value of 8 nM for compound 7s 4-[3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl]-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-3-vinylazetidin-2-one) which was comparable to the activity of Combretastatin A-4. Compound 7s had minimal cytotoxicity against both non-tumorigenic HEK-293T cells and murine mammary epithelial cells. The compounds inhibited the polymerisation of tubulin in vitro with an 8.7-fold reduction in tubulin polymerization at 10 μM for compound 7s and were shown to interact at the colchicine-binding site on tubulin, resulting in significant G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Immunofluorescence staining of MCF-7 cells confirmed that β-lactam 7s is targeting tubulin and resulted in mitotic catastrophe. A docking simulation indicated potential binding conformations for the 3-vinyl-β-lactam 7s in the colchicine domain of tubulin. These compounds are promising candidates for development as antiproiferative microtubule-disrupting agents.

Base-Mediated Generation of Ketenimines from Ynamides: Direct Access to Azetidinimines by an Imino-Staudinger Synthesis

Ynamides were used as precursors for the in situ generation of highly reactive ketenimines that could be trapped with imines in a [2+2] cycloaddition. This imino-Staudinger synthesis led to a variety of imino-analogs of β-lactams, namely azetidinimines (2

Interrupted imino-nazarov cyclization of 1-aminopentadienyl cation and related cascade process

Facile 4π conrotatory imino-Nazarov cyclization of a 1-aminopentadienyl cation generated from condensation an aldehyde and secondary aniline in the presence of a catalytic amount of a Lewis acid has been developed. Silver(I)-catalyzed intramolecular arene trapping of the resulting cyclic oxyallyl cation leads to formation of tricyclic indoline-fused cyclopentanone. The use of lanthanide salts allows transformation after the initial trapping to afford tetrahydroquinoline-fused cyclopentenone in a concise manner. Taking control: The fate of an oxyallyl cation formed through a 4π conrotatory imino-Nazarov cyclization can be controlled to access cyclopentanoid frameworks. In the presence of silver(I), intramolecular arene trapping leads to indoline-fused cyclopentanones. Gadolinium(III) facilitates a cascade transformation to furnish tetrahydroquinoline-fused cyclopentenones. Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl.
