In this work, a new strategy to synthesize 3-sulfenyl/selenyl indole is reported wherein LC?MS reveals a novel insight into synergistic cooperative effect of NaBH4-I2 which allows cascade C?N and C?S/C?Se bond formations via reduction-nucleophilic cyclization-chalcogenylation, three steps in one-pot, towards regioselective synthesis of diverse 3-chalcogenyl indoles including 5-bromo-3-[(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)thio]-1H-indole, a known lead anticancer compound, directly from 2-amino-phenacylchlorides and thiophenols or disulfides/diselenides in aqueous dioxane under transition-metal-free condition.

Homocamptothecins (hCPTs) represent a class of new emerging antitumor agents, which contains a seven-membered β-hydroxylactone in place of the conventional six-membered α-hydroxylactone ring (E ring) of camptothecins. Some novel 7-substituted hCPTs were designed and synthesized based on a newly developed synthetic route which couples ring A with ring C, E and D. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibit very high cytotoxic activity on tumor cell line A549. Some compounds, such as 9b, 9l, and 9y, show broad in vitro antitumor spectrum and are more potent than topotecan. Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) methods, CoMFA and CoMSIA, were applied to explain the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the synthesized compounds. Furthermore, molecular docking was used to clarify the binding mode of the synthesized compounds to human DNA topoisomerase I. The important hydrophobic, base-pair stacking, and hydrogen-bonding interactions were observed between the hCPT derivatives and their receptor. The results from molecular modeling will guide the design of novel hCPTs with higher antitumor activity.

A series of 22-hydroxyacuminatine analogs was prepared by using different Friedlaender condensations. Several of the new compounds were tested for antiproliferative activity on cancer cell lines and for topoisomerase I inhibitory activity.

The structural requirements of the catalytic site of kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT), the enzyme responsible for the conversion of L-kynurenine (KYN) to kynurenic acid (KYNA), were examined using analogs and derivatives of KYN. KYNA production from KYN was monitored in rat brain homogenates and brain tissue slices. Modification of KYN's acylalanine side chain or its ring amino group resulted in compounds which did not substantially affect KYNA synthesis. Ring chlorination in positions 3, 4, 5 and 6 yielded KYN analogs which interfered with KYNA production. L-5-Cl-KYN was the most active of the chlorinated kynurenines, and one of the most potent of several other 5-substituted kynurenines. L-5-Cl-KYN was an excellent substrate of KAT, yielding 6-Cl-KYNA. Finally, in kinetic studies, L-5-Cl-KYN (K(i) = 5.4 μM) was found to have an approximately five times higher affinity to the enzyme than the natural substrate KYN (K(m) = 28 μM).

Application of a specific BCl3-catalyzed ortho-chloroacetylation of the monosubstituted primary anilines 2a-e with chloroacetonitrile, as a variant of the Houben-Hoesch reaction, leads to the corresponding 2-amino-α-chloroacetophenones 3a-g.These may be reduced and cyclized to yield the indoles 4a-g or, after acylation to 5a-g and 7a, b converted by base-catalyzed dehydrochlorination into the 1-acyl-3(2H)-indolones 6a-g and 8a, b.
