Offering novel scaffolds targeting estrogen receptor creates huge necessity to overcome the evolving resistance developed by tumors. Structure-based drug design coupled with ring opening strategy of the steroids skeleton revealed the potential of indole-based analogs to be synthesized targeting the ligand binding domain of estrogen receptor-α. In vitro studies revealed the potential of the total sub-classes of the synthesized analogs to show anti-proliferative activity against estrogen receptor-dependent cancer cell lines at IC50 ranging from 28.23 to 57.13 μM. This was further validated by evaluating the potential of the synthesized analogs to compete along with estradiol via ER-α ELISA assay to show inhibitory profile at IC50 ranging from 1.76 to 204.75 nM. Two analogs (YMA-005 and YMA-006) showed significant reduction in tumor size at two dose levels with extensive degeneration and necrosis. Both YMA-005 and YMA-006 showed in-situ reduction of ER-α Immunohistochemical expression at both dose levels. Ultimately, novel analogs of indole-based biomimetic of estrone scaffolds were offered as estrogen receptor-α inhibitors.

Transition metal catalysis that utilizes N-heterocyclic carbenes as noninnocent ligands in promoting transformations has not been well studied. We report here a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligand-promoted nitro deoxygenative hydroboration with cost-effective chromium catalysis. Using 1 mol % of CAAC-Cr precatalyst, the addition of HBpin to nitro scaffolds leads to deoxygenation, allowing for the retention of various reducible functionalities and the compatibility of sensitive groups toward hydroboration, thereby providing a mild, chemoselective, and facile strategy to form anilines, as well as heteroaryl and aliphatic amine derivatives, with broad scope and particularly high turnover numbers (up to 1.8 × 106). Mechanistic studies, based on theoretical calculations, indicate that the CAAC ligand plays an important role in promoting polarity reversal of hydride of HBpin; it serves as an H-shuttle to facilitate deoxygenative hydroboration. The preparation of several commercially available pharmaceuticals by means of this strategy highlights its potential application in medicinal chemistry.

Paragraph 0050; 0051, (2021/11/20)
The instant invention provides processes for a chemo selective reduction of a nitro group within a compound in the presence of other groups which can also be reduced. This aspect of the present invention provides an ammonia borane (AB) initiated chemoselective reduction process of a nitro group contained within a compound in the presence of a copper (Cu) nanoparticle based catalyst. The invention is also directed to Copper (Cu) nanoparticle (NP) based catalysts, selected from Cu/WOx, Cu/SiO2, and Cu/C; wherein x represents an integer having a value of from about 2 to about 3.5, used in the chemo selective reduction of a nitro group contained within a compound in the presence of other groups which can also be reduced.

The reduction of nitroaromatic compounds to anilines is widely used throughout organic synthesis. Typical methods of performing this transformation utilize hydrogenation over a pyrophoric catalyst or a finely divided reducing metal, which often affords heterogeneous mixtures that are difficult to purify. Herein, we report for the first time the use of gallium metal as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. The reaction proceeds under aerobic conditions and affords homogeneous mixtures for a convenient workup. Using this method, twelve anilines were obtained in 33% to quantitative yields with short reaction times of 10-60 minutes.

Small molecules that target G-quadruplex (G4) DNA structures are not only valuable to study G4 biology but also for their potential as therapeutics. This work centers around how different design features of small molecules can affect the interactions with G4 DNA structures, exemplified by the development of synthetic methods to bis-indole scaffolds. Our synthesized series of bis-indole scaffolds are structurally very similar but differ greatly in the flexibility of their core structures. The flexibility of the molecules proved to be an advantage compared to locking the compounds in the presumed bioactive G4 conformation. The flexible derivatives demonstrated similar or even improved G4 binding and stabilization in several orthogonal assays even though their entropic penalty of binding is higher. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations with the c-MYC G4 structure showed that the flexible compounds adapt better to the surrounding. This was reflected by an increased number of both stacking and polar interactions with both the residues in the G4 DNA structure and the DNA residues just upstream of the G4 structure.

We report a new strategy of controlling catalytic activity and selectivity of Cu nanoparticles (NPs) for the ammonia borane initiated hydrogenation reaction. Cu NPs are active and selective for chemoselective reduction of nitrostyrene to vinylaniline under ambient conditions. Their activity, selectivity, and more importantly, stability are greatly enhanced by their anchoring on WO2.72 nanorods, providing a room-temperature full conversion of nitrostyrene selectively to vinylaniline (>99% yield). Compared with all other catalysts developed thus far, our new Cu/WO2.72 catalyst shows much enhanced hydrogenation selectivity and stability without the use of pressured hydrogen. The synthetic approach demonstrated here can be extended to prepare various M/WO2.72 catalysts (M = Fe, Co, Ni), with M being stabilized for many chemical reactions.

Chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes by highly dispersed Ni-Co BMNPs
Zhang, Jia-Wei,Lu, Guo-Ping,Cai, Chun
, p. 25 - 29 (2016/06/13)
Highly dispread Ni-Co bimetallic nanoparticles (Ni-Co BMNPs) are synthesized and applied as an efficient catalyst in the chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes (CTH) using hydrazine hydrate as the hydrogen donor. The BMNPs can efficiently catalyze the reduction reaction without any additives under mild conditions with high TOF. Significantly higher activity is achieved when compared with corresponding single-component catalysts, optimal composition of the Ni-Co BMNPs was screened which was proved to be crucial in both the selectivity and yields. Excellent performance of Ni-Co BMNPs can be ascribed to the improved dispersion of active sites on the BMNPs surface (compared with Ni NPs) and the electron transfer from cobalt to nickel.
