Photoorganocatalysis constitutes a powerful domain of photochemistry and organic synthesis. The scaffold of pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinolinoles exhibits interesting and potent inhibition against various enzymes, making them really promising pharmaceutical targets. Herein, we describe a photochemical methodology for the reaction of N,N-dimethylanilines with N-substituted maleimides, utilizing benzaldehyde as the photoinitiator. A variety of substituted N,N-dimethylanilines and N-substituted maleimides were converted into the corresponding adducts in moderate to high yields.

Lymphomas (cancers of the lymphatic system) account for 12% of malignant diseases worldwide. Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in which the cancer starts in the immune B-cells. We report the synthesis and preliminary studies on the antiproliferative activity of a library of 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene based compounds structurally related to the antidepressant drug maprotiline against BL cell lines MUTU-1 and DG- 75. Structural modifications were achieved by Diels-Alder reaction of the core 9-(2- nitrovinyl)anthracene with number of dienophiles including maleic anhydride, maleimides, acrylonitrile and benzyne. The antiproliferative activity of these compounds was evaluated in BL cell lines EBV? MUTU-1 and EBV+ DG-75 (chemoresistant). The most potent compounds 13j, 15, 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d and 19a displayed IC50 values in the range 0.17–0.38 μM against the BL cell line EBV? MUTU-1 and IC50 values in the range 0.45–0.78 μM against the chemoresistant BL cell line EBV+ DG- 75. Compounds 15, 16b and 16c demonstrated potent ROS dependent apoptotic effects on the BL cell lines which were superior to the control drug taxol and showed minimal cytotoxicity to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The results suggest that this class of compounds merits further investigation as antiproliferative agents for BL.

Adenylate cyclases (ACs), play a critical role in the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Studies have indicated that adenylyl cyclase type 2 (AC2) is potential drug target for many diseases, however, up to now, there is no AC2-selective agonist reported. In this research, docking-based virtual screening with the combination of cell-based biological assays have been performed for discovering novel potent and selective AC2 agonists. Virtual screening disclosed a novel hit compound 8 as an AC2 agonist with EC50 value of 8.10 μM on recombinant human hAC2 + HEK293 cells. The SAR (structure activity relationship) based on the derivatives of compound 8 was further explored on recombinant AC2 cells and compound 73 was found to be the most active agonist with the EC50 of 90 nM, which is 160-fold more potent than the reported agonist Forskolin and could selectively activate AC2 to inhibit the expression of Interleukin-6. The discovery of a new class of AC2-selective agonists would provide a novel chemical probe to study the physiological function of AC2.

Single-electron oxidation and α-deprotonation of tertiary anilines using Fe(phen)3(PF6)3 afford α-aminoalkyl radicals, which can be coupled with electrophilic partners to afford various tetrahydroquinolines. Mechanistically, the Fe(phen)n 2+/3+ catalytic cycle is maintained by O2 or a TBHP oxidant, and the presence of the oxygen bound iron complex, Fe(III)-OO(H), was elucidated by electron paramagnetic resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. This redox-selective nonheme iron catalyst behaves similarly to bioinspired heme iron catalysts.

Nickel(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP) is presented as a robust, cost-effective and efficient visible light induced photoredox catalyst. The ground state electrochemical data (CV) and electronic absorption (UV-Vis) spectra reveal the excited state redox potentials for [NiTPP]*/[NiTPP].? and NiTPP].+/[NiTPP]* couples as +1.17 V and ?1.57 V vs SCE respectively. The potential values represent NiTPP as a more potent photocatalyst compare to the well-explored [Ru(bpy)3]2+. The non-precious photocatalyst exhibits excited state redox reactions in dual fashions, i. e., it is capable of undergoing both oxidative as well as reductive quenching pathways. Such versatility of a photocatalyst based on first-row transition metals is very scarce. This unique phenomenon allows one to perform diverse types of redox reactions by employing a single catalyst. Two different sets of chemical reactions have been performed to represent the synthetic utility. The catalyst showed superior efficiency in both carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Thus, we believe that NiTPP is a valuable addition to the photocatalyst library and this study will lead to more practical synthetic applications of earth-abundant-metal-based photoredox catalysts.

The exploration of catalytic potential of natural amino acid salt in activation of 1,3-dicarbonyls was carried out, in which maleimides and 2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)malononitriles were found to be good electrophiles and afforded the desired products with excellent yield and moderate optical purity. Control experiments showed that the secondary amino group of barium (S)-prolinate is critical to the catalytic activity as well as enantiocontrol, thus revealed an enamine activation mechanism is possible in the present methodology.

A convenient and eco-friendly synthesis of various fused N-heterocyclic compounds through catalyst and additive-free 1,3 dipolar cycloadditions of quinolinium imides with olefins, maleimides, and benzynes in excellent yields and diastereoselectivities is reported. The thermally controlled diastereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between quinolinium imides and olefins provided cis-isomers at low temperature and trans-isomers at high temperature. A reaction between quinolinium imides with substituted maleimides gave four-ring-fused N-heterocyclic compounds in high yields as a single diastereomer. The aryne precursors also provided four-ring-fused N,N′-heterocyclic compounds in high yields. The in vitro antiplasmodial activity of selected molecules revealed that this class of molecules possesses potential for ongoing studies against malaria.

Maleimide-mediated thiol-specific derivatization of biomolecules is one of the most efficacious bioconjugation approaches currently available. Alarmingly, however, recent work demonstrates that the resulting thiomaleimide conjugates are susceptible to breakdown via thiol exchange reactions. Herein, we report a new class of maleimides, namely o-CH2NHiPr phenyl maleimides, that undergo unprecedentedly rapid ring hydrolysis after thiol conjugation to form stable thiol exchange-resistant conjugates. Furthermore, we overcome the problem of low shelf lives of maleimide reagents owing to their propensity to undergo ring hydrolysis prior to bioconjugation by developing a photocaged version of this scaffold that resists ring hydrolysis. UV irradiation of thiol bioconjugates formed with this photocaged maleimide unleashes rapid thiomaleimide ring hydrolysis to yield the desired stable conjugates within 1 h under gentle, ice-cold conditions.

The Diels–Alder (DA) reaction, a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction, is highly important in synthetic organic chemistry and is frequently used in the synthesis of natural products containing six-membered rings. Herein, we report an efficient protocol for the DA reaction between 9-hydroxymethylanthracene and N-substituted maleimides using two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) as a heterogeneous carbocatalyst in an aqueous medium at room temperature. High yields, a wide substrate scope, low temperature, excellent functional group tolerance, atom economy, and water as a green solvent are noteworthy features of this protocol. The heterogeneous GO catalyst can be easily recovered and used multiple times without any significant loss in catalytic activity.
