Superfast synthesis, antibacterial and antifungal studies of halo-aryl and heterocyclic tagged 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one candidates

We describe a successful synthesis of halo-aryl and heterocyclic labelled 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one derivatives, as well as their antibacterial and antifungal properties. A total of 15 derivatives from 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one were synthesized by grind

Light-enabled, AlCl3-catalyzed regioselective intramolecular nucleophilic addition of non-nucleophilic alkyls to alkynes

Light-enabled, AlCl3-catalyzed regioselective intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization of alkynes using non-nucleophilic alkyls as the nucleophile is reported. Upon photoexcitation, o-alkylphenyl alkynyl ketones can be transferred into (E)-photoenols. Thus, a nucleophilic methylene is formed from the non-nucleophilic alkyl. An AlCl3 catalyst can stabilize the (E)-photoenol intermediate and facilitate further intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization. DFT calculations indicated that the AlCl3-catalyzed cyclization is the regioselectivity determining step.

I2/TBHP mediated diastereoselective synthesis of spiroaziridines

Eventhough spiroheterocycles are considered as emerging drug candidates, synthesis of spiroaziridines has not been well explored so far. Herein, we disclose an efficient I2/TBHP mediated diastereoselective synthesis of N-alkyl spiroaziridines from primary amines and easily accessible α,β-unsaturated ketones. The reaction is also compatible for the synthesis of 2-aroylaziridines.

Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship study of halogen containing 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives for inhibition of LPS-stimulated ROS production in RAW 264.7 macrophages

As a continuous effort to discover new potential anti-inflammatory agents, we systematically designed and synthesized sixty-one 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives with structural modification of chalcone, and evaluated their inhibitory activity on LPS-stimulated ROS production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Systematic structure-activity relationship study revealed that hydroxyl group in C-5, C-6, or C-7 position of indanone moiety, and ortho-, meta-, or para-fluorine, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, and bromine functionalities in phenyl ring are important for inhibition of ROS production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Among all the tested compounds, 6-hydroxy-2-(2-(trifluoromethoxy) benzylidene)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (compound 44) showed the strongest inhibitory activity of ROS production. Further studies on the mode of action revealed that compound 44 potently suppressed LPS-stimulated ROS production via modulation of NADPH oxidase. The findings of this work could be useful to design 2-benzylidene-indanone based lead compounds as novel anti-inflammatory agents.

Discovery and structure-activity relationship studies of 2-benzylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one and benzofuran-3(2H)-one derivatives as a novel class of potential therapeutics for inflammatory bowel disease

To develop effective therapeutics for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), 2-benzylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one and benzofuran-3(2H)-one derivatives, were designed and synthesized and their structure-activity relationships (SAR) were investigated. Compounds 7, 25, 26, 32, 39, 41, 52, 54, and 55 showed potent inhibitory effect (>70%) on the TNF-α-induced adhesion of monocytes to colon epithelial cells, which is one of the hallmark events leading to IBD. Such inhibitory activity of the compounds correlated with their suppressive activities against the TNF-α-induced production of ROS; ICAM-1 and MCP-1 expression, critical molecules involved in monocyte-epithelial adhesion; and NF-κB transcriptional activity. In addition, compounds 41 and 55 significantly suppressed the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced expression of the TNF-α gene, with compound 55 showing better efficacy. This inhibition of TNF-α expression by compounds 41 and 55 corresponded to their additional inhibitory activity against AP-1 transcriptional activity, which is another transcription factor required for high level TNF-α expression. The strong inhibitory activity of compound 55 against an in vivo colitis model was confirmed by its dose-dependent inhibitory activity in a rat model of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis, demonstrating compound 55 as a new potential candidate for the development of therapeutics against IBD.

Catalytic enantioselective cascade Michael/cyclization reaction of 3-isothiocyanato oxindoles with exocyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones: En route to 3,2′-pyrrolidinyl bispirooxindoles

Cascade Michael/cyclization reactions between 3-isothiocyanato oxindoles and exocyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones are shown to proceed efficiently in the presence of a quinine-derived tertiary amino-squaramide catalyst and furnish 3,2′-pyrrolidinyl bispirooxindoles containing two spiro-quaternary and three contiguous stereocenters as a single diastereomer with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99:1 er).
