The first organocatalytic enantioselective approach to precursors of tubuvaline (pre-Tuv) is presented employing a prolinamide-catalyzed aldol reaction of easily accessible thiazole-carbaldehyde with methyl isopropyl ketone "on water" in excellent yield as well as regio- and enantioselectivities. The analogues of pre-Tuv were achieved using an l-proline-catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reaction of substituted thiazole-carbaldehydes with acetone. A direct and flexible approach to the tubavaline (Tuv) core of tubusylins has been established employing the reductive amination of the pre-Tuv species. The key aldol reaction should greatly expand the potential of this strategy to the synthesis of natural product tubulysins and a range of analogues.

New thiazolyl derivatives (BT and TT) and their copper (II) complexes [Cu2Cl2(BT)2] (Cu-BT) and [Cu4ClO2(TT)2]PF6?3.5H2O (Cu-TT) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, HRMS, X-ray diffraction, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopies. The crystal structure of Cu-BT shows the formation of a dinuclear complex where each copper(II) center is bonded to two thiazol N atoms, from different BT ligands, one deprotonated amide N atom, an O atom from the ester terminal groups and a chlorine atom. The structure found for Cu-TT is a positively charged tetranuclear moiety containing two deprotonated TT ligands, a chlorine anion, two hydroxide anions acting as bridges between the copper centers and a water molecule. The cytotoxic activity of both copper complexes was evaluated on metastatic breast cancer cell lines, characterized for its rapidly dividing behavior. Both, Cu-BT and Cu-TT, show higher cytotoxic activity against these tumor cells than free BT and TT and also than cisplatin. In addition, we found that both complexes interact with DNA. Consistently, they also show cytotoxicity against a rapidly dividing non-tumor cell line, although with higher IC50, being such interaction and selectivity an indicator of the possible coexistence of more than one mechanism of action.

Synthesis of fourteen analogues of bacillamide, a bioactive tryptamide alkaloid of marine origin, has been accomplished through a highly efficient convergent route. The present solvent-free protocol involves the formation of thiazole ring in the initial step followed by amide coupling between substituted ethyl 2-alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl/amino/aminoarylthiazole-4-carboxylates and tryptamine in presence of 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine, a solid phase catalyst to yield N-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-2-alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl/amino/aminoarylthiazole-4-carboxamides as bacillamide analogues having structural variation at position-2 of thiazole ring. Bacillamide and its analogues were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines (HCT-116, MDA-MD-231 and JURKAT cell lines) using colorimetric cell proliferation assay. Compounds 17a and 17b exhibited potent anti-cell proliferation activity with IC50values in the range of ～3.0?μM and ～0.1–0.6?μM, respectively against these cell lines. Preliminary mechanism of action studies indicates that these compounds initiate caspase dependent apoptosis. Also, compounds 16d, 16f, 17a and 17d exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity comparable to well-known NSAID indomethacin and better to bacillamide, when evaluated using carrageenan induced rat hind paw oedema method.
