Design, synthesis, and electrophysiological evaluation of NS6740 derivatives: Exploration of the structure-activity relationship for alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor silent activation

The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) silent agonists, able to induce receptor desensitization and promote the α7 metabotropic function, are emerging as new promising therapeutic anti-inflammatory agents. Herein, we report the structure–activity

Synthesis and SAR of 5-aryl-furan-2-carboxamide derivatives as potent urotensin-II receptor antagonists

The synthesis and biological evaluation as potential urotensin-II receptor antagonists of a series of 5-arylfuran-2-carboxamide derivatives 1, bearing a 4-(3-chloro-4-(piperidin-4-yloxy)benzyl)piperazin-1-yl group, are described. The results of a systemat

Highly efficient and recyclable water-soluble fullerene-supported PdCl2 nanocatalyst in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

A water-soluble fullerene-supported PdCl2 nanocatalyst [C60-TEGS/PdCl2] was prepared by coordination of water-soluble fullerene nanoparticles with palladium chloride. In pure water, the catalytic activity of nanocatalyst [C60-TEGS/PdCl2] for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was investigated under different reaction conditions. The results showed that biphenyl compounds could be synthesized in high yields at room temperature using 0.01 mol% of [C60-TEGS/PdCl2] as the catalyst and K2CO3 as the base with the reaction time of 4 h. The catalyst was recycled five times, and the yield clearly did not decrease.

Discovery and development of novel salicylate synthase (MbtI) furanic inhibitors as antitubercular agents

We report on the virtual screening, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new furan derivatives targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis salicylate synthase (MbtI). A receptor-based virtual screening procedure was applied to screen the Enamine database, identifying two compounds, I and III, endowed with a good enzyme inhibitory activity. Considering the most active compound I as starting point for the development of novel MbtI inhibitors, we obtained new derivatives based on the furan scaffold. Among the SAR performed on this class, compound 1a emerged as the most potent MbtI inhibitor reported to date (Ki = 5.3 μM). Moreover, compound 1a showed a promising antimycobacterial activity (MIC99 = 156 μM), which is conceivably related to mycobactin biosynthesis inhibition.

Furan- and thiophene-2-carbonyl amino acid derivatives activate hypoxia-inducible factor via inhibition of factor inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor-1

Induction of a series of anti-hypoxic proteins protects cells during exposure to hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia-inducible factor-α (HIF-α) is a major transcription factor that orchestrates this protective effect. To activate HIF exogenously, without exposing

Design, synthesis and evaluation of aromatic heterocyclic derivatives as potent antifungal agents

To further enhance the anti-Aspergillus efficacy of our previously discovered antifungal lead compounds (1), a series of aromatic heterocyclic derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antifungal activity. Many of the target compounds showed good inhibitory activity against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. In particular, the isoxazole nuclei were more suited for improving the activity against Aspergillus spp. Among these compounds, 2-F substituted analogues 23g and 23h displayed the most remarkable in vitro activity against Candida spp., C. neoformans, A. fumigatus and fluconazole-resistant C.alb. strains, which is superior or comparable to the activity of the reference drugs fluconazole and voriconazole. Notably, the compounds 23g and 23h exhibited low inhibition profiles for various isoforms of human cytochrome P450 and excellent blood plasma stability.

Aerobic oxidative α-arylation of furans with boronic acids via Pd(II)-catalyzed C-C bond cleavage of primary furfuryl alcohols: Sustainable access to arylfurans

Aerobic oxidative α-arylation of furans with boronic acids via Pd(ii)-catalyzed C-C bond cleavage of primary furfuryl alcohols provides sustainable access to arylfurans. This protocol opens a new avenue for the transformation of readily available furans into other useful compounds.

Direct β-arylation of furans with aryl iodides catalyzed by dinuclear palladium complexes

Dinuclear palladium complexes formed by a chelate-bridging ligand showed β-selectivity in the direct arylation of furans with iodoarenes. In contrast, the arylation using PPh3 or bpy as ligands gave α-arylfurans as major products. The arylation

Triflic Acid-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization Reactions of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes: Access to Alkyl 5-Arylfuran-2-carboxylates

A direct synthetic strategy starting from alkyl 1-alkoxy-2-aroylcyclopropanecarboxylates was developed for the construction of alkyl 5-arylfuran-2-carboxylates. These donor-acceptor cyclopropanes smoothly undergo a simple ring-opening reaction or/and cycl

In-Depth Assessment of the Palladium-Catalyzed Fluorination of Five-Membered Heteroaryl Bromides

A thorough investigation of the challenging Pd-catalyzed fluorination of five-membered heteroaryl bromides is presented. Crystallographic studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the challenging step of this transformation is
