We report on the first cobalt corrole that effectively mediates the homogeneous hydrogenation of structurally diverse nitroarenes to afford the corresponding amines. The given catalyst is easily assembled prior to use from 4-tert-butylbenzaldehyde and pyrrole followed by metalation of the resulting corrole macrocycle with cobalt(II) acetate. The thus-prepared complex is self-contained in that the hydrogenation protocol is free from the requirement for adding any auxiliary reagent to elicit the catalytic activity of the applied metal complex. Moreover, a containment system is not required for the assembly of the hydrogenation reaction set-up as both the autoclave and the reaction vessels are readily charged under a regular laboratory atmosphere.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) plays important role in ethanol metabolism, and also serves as an important shield from the damage occurring under oxidative stress. A special inactive variant was found carried by 35–45% of East Asians. The variant carriers have recently been found at the higher risk for the diseases related to the damage occurring under oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. As a result, ALDH2 activators may potentially serve as a new class of therapeutics. Herein, N-benzylanilines were found as novel allosteric activators of ALDH2 by computational virtual screening using ligand-based and structure-based screening parallel screening strategy. Then a structural optimization was performed and has led to the discovery of the compound C6. It has good activity in vitro and in vivo, which could reduce infarct size by ~70% in ischemic stroke rat models. This study provided good lead compounds for the further development of ALDH2 activators.
