Twelve benzylidene derivatives, one Baeyer-Villiger oxidative, six imine derivatives were successfully designed and synthesised from phyllanthone. In the search for potential new anti-diabetic agents, phyllanthone along with its benzylidene and oxidation analogues were evaluated for enzyme inhibition against α-glucosidase. In the benzylidene series, most analogues displayed stronger activity than the mother compound. Compound 1c revealed the strongest activity, outperforming the acarbose positive control with an IC50 value of 19.59 μM. Phyllanthone and its derivatives were then tested for cytotoxic activity against the K562 cell line. The imine analogues displayed the most powerful cytotoxic activity with 3cand 3d having IC50 values of 57.55 and 68.02 μM, respectively.

A series of novel N-substituted hydrazide derivatives were synthesized by reacting atranorin, a compound with a natural depside structure (1), with a range of hydrazines. The natural product and 12 new analogues (2–13) were investigated for inhibition of α-glucosidase. The N-substituted hydrazide derivatives showed more potent inhibition than the original. The experimental results were confirmed by docking analysis. This study suggests that these compounds are promising molecules for diabetes therapy. Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out with compound 2 demonstrating the best docking model using Gromac during simulation up to 20 ns to explore the stability of the complex ligand-protein. Furthermore, the activity of all synthetic compounds 2–13 against a normal cell line HEK293, used for assessing their cytotoxicity, was evaluated.

The catalytic activity of the mixed-ligand copper(I) complex [Cu(PPh3)2(κ2-O,O"-lact)] (1) {lact = l-(+)-lactate} has been investigated in carbene transfer and carbene insertion reactions. Complex 1 catalytically promoted the diastereoselective cyclopropanation of olefins in the presence of ethyl diazoacetate (EDA), under mild conditions, and with a low catalyst loading (1 mol-%). In the case of internal alkenes, a trans/cis ratio of up to 93:7 was reached. Moreover, compound 1 easily promoted the insertion of the carbene fragment deriving from the decomposition of ethyl diazoacetate into O–H (alcohols and phenols) and N–H (amine) bonds, with formation of the corresponding ethyl 2-alkoxyacetate, ethyl 2-phenoxyacetate, and ethyl 2-aminoacetate derivatives in good to high yields.
