A series of tetracyclic oxindole derivatives was synthesized by asymmetric 1, 3-dipole reaction in 2–4 steps in 57–86% overall yields. These compounds were evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory and glucose consumption-promoting activity in vitro. Compound 4l competitively and reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase (IC50 = 3.64 μM) with activity 14-fold higher than that of acarbose. Docking analysis substantiated these findings. In addition, compound 4l exhibited significant glucose consumption promoting activity at 1 μM.

Rationale: Although monoketone curcuminoids (MKCs) have been largely investigated due to their biological activities, data on the gas-phase fragmentation reactions of protonated MKCs under collision-induced dissociation (CID) conditions are still scarce. Here, we combined electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) data, multiple-stage mass spectrometry (MSn), deuterium exchange experiments, accurate-mass data, and thermochemical data estimated by computational chemistry to elucidate and to rationalize the fragmentation pathways of eleven synthetic MKCs. Methods: The MKCs were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation under basic (1–9) or acidic (10–11) conditions. ESI-CID-MS/MS analyses and deuterium-exchange experiments were carried out on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. MSn analyses on an ion trap mass spectrometer helped to elucidate the fragmentation pathways. Accurate-mass data and thermochemical data, obtained at the B3LYP/6–31+G(d,p) level of theory, were used to support the ion structures. Results: The most intense product ions were the benzyl ions ([C7H2R1R2R3R4R5]+) and the acylium ions ([M + H ? C8H3R1R2R3R4R5]+), which originated directly from the precursor ion as a result of two competitive hydrogen rearrangements. Product ions [M + H – H2O]+ and [M + H ? C6HR1R2R3R4R5]+, which are formed after Nazarov cyclization, were also common to all the analyzed compounds. In addition, ?Br and ?Cl eliminations were diagnostic for the presence of these halogen atoms at the aromatic ring, whereas ?CH3 eliminations were useful to identify the methyl and methoxy groups attached to this same ring. Nazarov cyclization in the gas phase occurred for all the investigated MKCs and did not depend on the presence of the hydroxyl group at the aromatic ring. However, the presence and the position of a hydroxyl group at the aromatic rings played a key role in the Nazarov cyclization mechanism. Conclusions: Our results reinforce some aspects of the fragmentation pathways previously published for 1,5-bis-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one and 1,5-bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one. The alternative fragmentation mechanism proposed herein can explain the fragmentation of a wider diversity of monoketone curcuminoids.

Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis and it is considered to be the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection in the world. Since the 1960s, nitroimidazoles such as metronidazole are the drugs of choice for the treatment of trichomoniasis, but many adverse effects and allergic reactions may result from their use. Reports of metronidazole-resistant infections also highlight the importance for the search of new anti-T. vaginalis agents. Considering this, herein we report the anti-T. vaginalis evaluation of 21 synthetic monocarbonyl analogues of curcumin, which itself has been reported to possess antiparasitic potential. From the in vitro analysis of the synthetic molecules, untreated trophozoites, and metronidazole at 100 μM, it was observed that three curcumin analogues (3a, 3e, and 5e) exhibited anti-T. vaginalis activity comparable to metronidazole (no significant statistical difference). Optimal antiparasitic concentrations were determined to be 80 μM and 90 μM for propanone derivatives 3a and 3e, respectively, and 200 μM for cyclohexanone derivative 5e. Kinetic growth curves showed that, after 24 h, the trophozoites were completely inhibited. At the tested concentrations, natural curcumin did not significantly inhibit the growth of trophozoites, therefore demonstrating that the designed synthetic molecules not only have better chemical stability, but also higher anti-T. vaginalis potential. Cytotoxicity analysis, performed on VERO cells, demonstrated low, moderate and high cytotoxic effects for analogues 3e, 5e and 3a, respectively. This study suggests that these analogues possess chemical features of interest to be further explored as alternatives for the treatment of trichomoniasis.

Inflammation and oxidative stress are common in many chronic diseases. Targeting signaling pathways that contribute to these conditions may have therapeutic potential. The transcription factor Nrf2 is a major regulator of phase II detoxification and anti-oxidant genes as well as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective genes. Nrf2 is widespread in the CNS and is recognized as an important regulator of brain inflammation. The natural product curcumin exhibits numerous biological activities including ability to induce the expression of Nrf2-dependent phase II and anti-oxidant enzymes. Curcumin has been examined in a number of clinical studies with limited success, mainly owing to limited bioavailability and rapid metabolism. Enone analogues of curcumin were examined with an Nrf2 reporter assay to identify Nrf2 activators. Analogues were separated into groups with a 7-carbon dienone spacer, as found in curcumin; a 5-carbon enone spacer with and without a ring; and a 3-carbon enone spacer. Activators of Nrf2 were found in all three groups, many of which were more active than curcumin. Dose-response studies demonstrated that a range of substituents on the aromatic rings of these enones influenced not only the sensitivity to activation, reflected in EC50 values, but also the extent of activation, which suggests that multiple mechanisms are involved in the activation of Nrf2 by these analogues.

We evaluated the antimicrobial activity of 25 monoketone curcuminoids (MKCs) against a representative panel of cariogenic bacteria in terms of their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. Curcumin A (10) displayed promising activity against Streptococcus mutans (MIC?=?50?μg/ml) and Streptococcus mitis (MIC?=?50?μg/ml) as well as moderate activity against S.?sanguinis (MIC?=?100?μg/ml), Lactobacillus casei (MIC?=?100?μg/ml), and Streptococcus salivarius (MIC?=?200?μg/ml). Results indicated higher activity of compound 10 than that of its bis-β-diketone analog. Additionally, compounds 3a (1,5-bis(4-methylphenyl)pentan-3-one) and 7b (1,5-bis(4-bromophenyl)pentan-3-ol) were moderately active against S.?mitis (MIC?=?100?μg/ml) and S.?salivarus (MIC?=?200?μg/ml).

Utilizing two robust C-C bond-forming reactions, the Baylis-Hillman reaction and the Diels-Alder reaction, we report a highly enantio-, regio-, and diastereoselective synthesis of hexahydro-2H-chromenes via two sequential [4 + 2] cycloadditions. These tandem and formal cycloadditions have also been performed as a "one-pot" sequence to access the corresponding heterocycles constituting up to five contiguous stereocenters in excellent yields and stereoselectivity.
