Inhibition of the mycolic acid pathway has proven a viable strategy in antitubercular drug discovery. The AccA3/AccD4/FadD32/Pks13 complex of Mycobacterium tuberculosis constitutes an essential biosynthetic mechanism for mycolic acids. Small molecules targeting the thioesterase domain of Pks13 have been reported, including a benzofuran-based compound whose X-ray cocrystal structure has been very recently solved. Its initial inactivity in a serum inhibition titration (SIT) assay led us to further probe other structurally related benzofurans with the aim to improve their potency and bioavailability. Herein, we report our preliminary structure-activity relationship studies around this scaffold, highlighting a natural product-inspired cyclization strategy to form coumestans that are shown to be active in SIT. Whole genome deep sequencing of the coumestan-resistant mutants confirmed a single nucleotide polymorphism in the pks13 gene responsible for the resistance phenotype, demonstrating the druggability of this target for the development of new antitubercular agents.

Thiol-mediated processes play a key role to induce or inhibit inflammation proteins. Tailoring the reactivity of electrophiles can enhance the selectivity to address only certain surface cysteines. Fourteen 2',3,4,4'- tetramethoxychalcones with different α-X substituents (X=H, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, Me, p-NO2-C6H4, Ph, p-OMe-C 6H4, NO2, CF3, COOEt, COOH) were synthesized, containing the potentially electrophilic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl unit. The assessment of their reactivity as electrophiles in thia-Michael additions with cysteamine shows a change in the reactivity of more than six orders of magnitude. Moreover, a clear correlation between their reactivity and an influence on the inflammation proteins heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is demonstrated. As the biologically most active compound, the α-CF3-chalcone is shown to inhibit the NO production in RAW264.7 mouse macrophages in the nanomolar range. More than a million by only one substituent: The direct manipulation of the chemical reactivity of electrophilic agents could be proven for chalcones by simply exchanging the α-hydrogen atom of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl unit with different substituents (X), leading to a change in reactivity of more than six orders of magnitude for thia-Michael additions with cysteamine, which correlates very well with two electrophile-sensitive biological readouts (see scheme).

Novel 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-substituted phenylquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives 12a-n were designed and prepared through an intramolecular cyclization reaction and evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity. Among the synthesized compounds, 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)quinolin-2(1H)-one (12e) displayed potent cytotoxicity against several different tumor cell lines at a sub-micromolar level. Furthermore, results of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis suggested that 12e induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase accompanied by apoptosis in HL-60 and H460 cells. This action was confirmed by Hoechst staining and caspase-3 activation. Due to their easy synthesis and remarkable biological activities, 4-phenylquinolin-2(1H)-one analogs (4-PQs) are promising new anticancer leads based on the quinoline scaffold. Accordingly, compound 12e was identified as a new lead compound that merits further optimization and development as an anticancer candidate.

A series of 3-[(α-hydroxy-substituted) benzylidene]pyrrolidine-2,4- dione derivatives were synthesized as candidate herbicides by reacting different aroyl acetates with N-substituted glycine esters. The new compounds were identified by 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Their herbicidal activities were evaluated. Some compounds exhibited excellent herbicidal activities at a dose of 187.5 g/ha. A suitable electron-donating substituent at the 2- and/or 4-position of the phenyl ring was essential for high herbicidal activity, a result that has not been reported before. It was also found that the title compound's structure-activity relationships were different from those of other similar kinds of earlier compounds, a result that may depend on the enol structure difference.
