In this paper, three new compounds were synthesized by introduction of benzyloxy group to phenylethyl phenylacetate (PPA) and shorting the flexible ester linker. NMR spectra and mass spectra are achieved to confirm the structure of the compounds. The solid-liquid and liquid-solid phase change behaviors of PPA and these three compounds were explored by direct observation and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. It was found that all four compounds would form supercooled liquids during a heating-cooling cycle. The supercooling degree is as large as 44 °C or above. The effects of benzyloxy group and the flexible linker on the phase transition processes as well as the supercooling degrees were discussed in detail with the computational optimized geometry of isolated molecules. It was revealed that the dihedral angles between adjacent phenyl rings play a significant role in tuning their phase transition temperatures. This work also discovers the high enthalpies of PPA derivatives and analogues in both solid-liquid and liquid-solid phase transition processes, making them great potentials for the thermal energy control of appropriate working temperature regions.

The objective of this study is to synthesize a series of sesamol-based phenolic acid derivatives, which were designed by combination principle. The hypolipidemic activity of all these compounds was preliminarily screened by acute hyperlipidemic mice model induced by Triton WR 1339, in which compound T6 exhibited more significant reducing plasma TG and TC than fenofibrate. Compound T6 was also found to obviously decrease TG and TC both in the plasma and hepatic tissue of high-fat-diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice. Moreover, T6 showed hepatoprotective effects, which remarkable amelioration in characteristic liver enzymes was examined and the histopathological observation displayed that compound T6 inhibited lipids accumulation in the hepatic. The levels of PPAR-α receptor related to lipids metabolism in hepatic tissue were upregulated after T6 treatment. Other potent effects of T6 such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity were also observed. On the bases of these findings, compound T6 may serve as an effective hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective agent. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

The oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids is a fundamental reaction in organic synthesis. In this paper, we report a new chemoselective process for the oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes. This metal-free reaction features a new oxidant, an easy to handle procedure, high isolated yields, and good to excellent functional group tolerance even in the presence of vulnerable secondary alcohols and tert-butanesulfinamides.

A simple, efficient, cheap, and broadly applicable system for the carboxylation of benzylic bromides with carbon monoxide and water is reported. Upon simple reaction with only 2.5 wt % of Pearlman's catalyst and 10 mol % of tetrabutylammonium bromide in tetrahydrofuran at 110 °C for 4 h, a range of benzylic bromides can be smoothly converted to the corresponding arylacetic acids in good to excellent yields after simple extraction and acid-base wash. The reaction was found to be broadly applicable, scalable, and could be successfully extended to the use of ex situ-generated carbon monoxide and applied to the synthesis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac.

The Pd(OAc)2/PhI(OAc)2 catalyst system promotes the highly regioselective dehydrogenative methoxylation of a C(sp3)-H bond adjacent to benzoxazole and benzothiazole rings. The title transformation constitutes the first example of a Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H activating methoxylation at the proximal-selective α-position with regard to a directing auxiliary and provides expedient access to an important class of azole-decorated methyl ethers (up to 90% isolated yield). The synthetic practicality of the methodology was demonstrated by achieving α-methoxyacetic acids via the elimination of the benzoxazole auxiliaries and by obtaining the precursor of an O-methylated Breslow intermediate.

Over the past fifteen years, we reported the design and synthesis of different series of compounds targeting the C1 domain of protein kinase C (PKC) that were based on various templates. Out of the pivalate templates, 2-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-3-hydroxypropyl pivalate (compound 1) emerged as the most potent and promising PKCα ligand, showing a Ki value of 0.7 μM. In the present contribution our efforts are aimed at better understanding which structural modifications of the pivalate template are allowed for its affinity to the C1 domain of PKC to be preserved or increased. To this aim, thirteen novel analogues of 1 were designed and their interaction with the target was evaluated in silico. Designed compounds were then prepared and fully characterized as well as their affinity for the α and δ isoforms of PKC evaluated. Additionally, in order to investigate the role of chirality in the ligand-target interaction, the pure enantiomers of the most interesting PKC ligands were prepared and their affinity for PKC isoforms was determined. Results from our study revealed that: i) the presence of the ester function seems to be essential for the ligand-target interaction; ii) only a few structural modifications at the ester group are allowed for the C1 domain affinity to be preserved; and iii) the [3H]PDBu replacement experiments showed that the C1 domain of PKC does not exhibit enantiopreference for the pure stereoisomers of tested compounds. Altogether our observations provide further insights into the ligand-target interactions of the PKC C1 domain and represent a step-forward in future development of more specific and effective PKC ligands.

Despite the therapeutic potential of marine-derived lamellarin natural products, their preclinical development has been hampered by their lipophilic nature, causing very poor aqueous solubility. In order to develop more drug-like analogs, their structure was streamlined in this study from both the cytotoxic activity and lipophilicity standpoints. First, a modified total synthetic route was successfully devised to construct a library of 59 systematically designed lamellarin analogs, which were then subjected to cytotoxicity and log P determinations. Along with the 25 first-generation lamellarins previously synthesized in our laboratory, the structure-activity and structure-lipophilicity relationships were extensively evaluated. Our results clearly indicated the additional structural requirements around the lamellarin skeleton which, when combined with those reported previously, can provide invaluable guidance for further modifications to increase the aqueous solubility of these compounds.

In an effort to improve the aqueous solubility and the antitumor activity of natural product asperphenamate, we have designed and synthesized three series of asperphenamate derivatives, including series I (simplifying molecular skeleton series), series II (introducing a hydroxyl group to A-phenyl ring series) and series III (disrupting molecular planarity series). All derivatives have displayed a significantly increased solubility compared with asperphenamate. Their growth inhibitory activities in vitro were screened by the standard MTT method in MCF-7, HeLa, and BEL-7402 cell lines. With the exception of the derivatives in series I, most of derivatives in series II and series III showed growth inhibitory activity. Among all derivatives, IM23b in series III showed the greatest potency in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. The cellular potency of IM23b was approximately 1.5-fold more potent than that of cisplatin. The mechanism of cell death induced by IM23b in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells was further investigated. We concluded that the cell death was induced by autophagy instead of apoptosis or cell cycle arrest.

A series of thiazole derivatives were designed, and prepared to develop RAGE antagonist for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). SAR studies were performed to optimize inhibitory activity on Aβ-RAGE binding. SAR studies showed that introducing an amino group at part A was essential for inhibitory activity on Aβ-RAGE binding. Compounds selected from Aβ-RAGE binding screening displayed inhibitory activity on Aβ transport across BBB. They also showed inhibitory activity against Aβ-induced NF-κB activation. These results indicated that our derivatives had a potential as therapeutic agent for the treatment of AD.
