Design, synthesis, crystal structure, and herbicidal activity of novel pyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives incorporating an alkyl ether pharmacophore with natural tetramic acids as lead compounds

In order to discover green herbicides with novel molecular scaffolds, natural tetramic acids were used as lead compounds to design and synthesize four pyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives incorporating a chainlike alkoxyalkyl moiety (4a-4d) and nineteen pyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives incorporating a substituted phenoxyethyl moiety (10a-10s)viasubstitution, acylation, cyclization, and acidification reactions. The synthesized target compounds were confirmed by FT-IR,1H NMR,13C NMR and HRMS spectral analyses. The single-crystal structure of compound10awas analyzed by X-ray diffraction, which revealed that the 1-hydroxyethylidene group links the third position of the pyrrolidine heterocycle through a double bond with theZ-configuration. The herbicidal activity was evaluated using barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) and rape (Brassica campestris) as model plants by a Petri dish culture method. Most target compounds were found to possess moderate to good inhibitory activities against the plant growth at 100 μg mL?1. Among them, the compounds10qand10nshowed the highest herbicidal activities against the roots of barnyard grass and rape seedlings with the corresponding inhibition rates of 65.6% and 84.0%, respectively. This result indicated that pyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives incorporating a substituted phenoxyethyl moiety are worthy of further structural optimization.

Discovery of Novel pERK1/2- or β-Arrestin-Preferring 5-HT1AReceptor-Biased Agonists: Diversified Therapeutic-like versus Side Effect Profile

Novel 1-(1-benzoylpiperidin-4-yl)methanamine derivatives with high affinity and selectivity for serotonin 5-HT1A receptors were obtained and tested in four functional assays: ERK1/2 phosphorylation, adenylyl cyclase inhibition, calcium mobilization, and β-arrestin recruitment. Compounds 44 and 56 (2-methylaminophenoxyethyl and 2-(1H-indol-4-yloxy)ethyl derivatives, respectively) were selected as biased agonists with highly differential "signaling fingerprints"that translated into distinct in vivo profiles. In vitro, 44 showed biased agonism for ERK1/2 phosphorylation and, in vivo, it preferentially exerted an antidepressant-like effect in the Porsolt forced swimming test in rats. In contrast, compound 56 exhibited a first-in-class profile: it preferentially and potently activated β-arrestin recruitment in vitro and potently elicited lower lip retraction in vivo, a component of "serotonergic syndrome". Both compounds showed promising developability properties. The presented 5-HT1A receptor-biased agonists, preferentially targeting various signaling pathways, have the potential to become drug candidates for distinct central nervous system pathologies and possessing accentuated therapeutic activity and reduced side effects.

Identification of N-(2-Phenoxyethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides as New Antituberculosis Agents

A series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine carboxamides (IPAs) bearing an N-(2-phenoxyethyl) moiety was designed and synthesized as new antitubercular agents. Seven 2,6-dimethyl IPAs demonstrated excellent in vitro activity (MIC: 0.025-0.054 μg/mL) against the drug susceptive H37Rv strain and two clinically isolated multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosisstrains. Compound 10j displayed acceptable safety and pharmacokinetic properties, opening a new direction for further development.

Synthesis of aryl ethers from benzoates through carboxylate-directed C-H-activating alkoxylation with concomitant protodecarboxylation

One in, one out: In the presence of a copper/silver bimetallic catalyst system, aromatic carboxylate salts undergo ortho C-H alkoxylation with concomitant loss of the carboxylate directing group in a protodecarboxylation step (see scheme, FG=functional group). This process provides a convenient synthetic access to the important class of aromatic ethers from widely available carboxylic acids. Copyright

Synthesis of aryl ethers from aromatic carboxylic acids

A silver/copper bimetallic catalyst system promotes the decarboxylative Chan-Evans-Lam alkoxylation of ortho-substituted aromatic carboxylate salts with tetraalkyl orthosilicates or triaryl borates. Non-ortho-substituted carboxylates are alkoxylated via an ortho-C-H-alkoxylation with concomitant cleavage of the carboxylate directing group via protodecarboxylation. This way, meta-substituted carboxylates are converted into para-substituted alkoxyarenes and vice versa. The combined processes provide a convenient synthetic entry to the important class of aromatic ethers from widely available carboxylic acids.

Design, synthesis, and pharmacological effects of structurally simple ligands for MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptors

A series of phenoxyalkyl and phenylthioalkyl amides were prepared as melatoninergic ligands. Modulation of affinity of the newly synthesized compound by applying SARs around the terminal amide moiety, the alkyl chain, and the methoxy group on the aromatic ring provides compounds with nanomolar affinity for both melatonin receptor subtypes. Affinity towards MT1 and MT2 receptors were modulated also exploiting chirality. The investigation of intrinsic activity revealed that all the tested compounds behave as full or partial agonists.

Synthesis and anticonvulsant evaluation of some N-substituted phthalimides

Two series of phthalimides - one possessing an N-phenoxyalkyl moiety substituted at position 3 or 4 of the phenyl ring (1-9) and the other of N-alkenyl or alkinyl phthalimides (10-18) - were synthesized, evaluated for anticonvulsant activity and had their in silico lipophilicity estimated using computer programs. The anticonvulsant activity of phthalimides containing an unsaturated substituent at the phthalimide nitrogen was superior to that of the N-phenoxyalkyl phthalimides. Alkinyl derivative 10 emerged as the most active (in MES and ScMet tests) of all the compounds tested. A correlation between anticonvulsant activity and in silico estimated lipophilicity was not observed.
