Oxidative stress-induced degeneration of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is known to be a key contributor to the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Activation of the nuclear factor-(erythroid-derived 2)-related factor-2 (Nrf2)-mediated cellular defense system is believed to be a valid therapeutic approach. In the present study, we designed and synthesized a novel chalcone analogue, 1-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-acrylketone (Tak), as a Nrf2 activator. The potency of Tak was measured in RPE cells by the induction of the Nrf2-dependent antioxidant genes HO-1, NQO-1, GCLc, and GCLm, which were regulated through the Erk pathway. We also showed that Tak could protect RPE cells against oxidative stress-induced cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, by modifying the α, β unsaturated carbonyl entity in Tak, we showed that the induction of antioxidant genes was abolished, indicating that this unique feature in Tak was responsible for the Nrf2 activation. These results suggest that Tak is a potential candidate for clinical application against AMD.

Through systematic target identification for piperlongumine, a cancer-selective killing molecule, we identified GSTO1 as its major covalent target for cancer cell death induction. We also reveal that GSTO1 inhibition is a promising combination strategy with other anti-cancer agents by drug combination screening in which piperlongumine exhibits broad-spectrum synergistic effects with a large proportion of the tested anti-cancer agents, especially with PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway inhibitors.

Dibenzyl butyrolactone lignans are well known for their excellent biological properties, particularly for their notable anti-proliferative activities. Herein we report a novel, efficient, convergent synthesis of dibenzyl butyrolactone lignans utilizing the acyl-Claisen rearrangement to stereoselectively prepare a key intermediate. The reported synthetic route enables the modification of these lignans to give rise to 5-hydroxymethyl derivatives of these lignans. The biological activities of these analogues were assessed, with derivatives showing an excellent cytotoxic profile which resulted in programmed cell death of Jurkat T-leukemia cells with less than 2% of the incubated cells entering a necrotic cell death pathway.

This work describes the total synthesis of the alkaloid cenocladamide and a concise library of nine structural analogues aiming at their evaluation against the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. The most promising compound (3; IC50 = 6.6 μM) was also evaluated in a panel of seven breast cancer cell lines and two non-tumorigenic cell lines. We further conducted an initial investigation on the mechanism of action of analogue 3, which lacks the endocyclic double bond when compared to cenocladamide. The present study presents the discovery of a cenocladamide analogue with interesting cytotoxic activity, which could be useful for further optimization towards new chemotherapeutic agents for breast cancer treatment.

The synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel isobenzofuran-based compounds are described. The compounds were evaluated for their immunosuppressive effects of T-cell proliferation and IMPDH type II inhibitor activity in vitro, as well as their structure-activity relationships were assessed. Several compounds demonstrated highly efficacious immunosuppressive properties, especially compounds 2d, 2e, 2h and 2j, which were superior to MPA, while compounds 2k, 2m, 2n, 4c and 5d exhibited an equipotent inhibitory activity compared to MPA. Generally, it was obviously demonstrated that α,β-unsaturated amides proved more potent than the diamide and urea series. The present study provides a guide for further research on development of safe and effective immunosuppressive agents.
Controlled and chemoselective reduction of secondary amides
Pelletier, Guillaume,Bechara, William S.,Charette, Andre B.
supporting information; experimental part, p. 12817 - 12819 (2010/11/05)
This communication describes a metal-free methodology involving an efficient and controlled reduction of secondary amides to imines, aldehydes, and amines in good to excellent yields under ambient pressure and temperature. The process includes a chemoselective activation of a secondary amide with triflic anhydride in the presence of 2-fluoropyridine. The electrophilic activated amide can then be reduced to the corresponding iminium using triethylsilane, a cheap, rather inert, and commercially available reagent. Imines can be isolated after a basic workup or readily transformed to the aldehydes following an acidic workup. The amine moiety can be accessed via a sequential reductive amination by the addition of silane and Hantzsch ester hydride in a one-pot reaction. Moreover, this reduction tolerates various functional groups that are usually reactive under reductive conditions and is very selective to secondary amides.
An investigation into the electrophilic cyclisation of N-acyl-pyrrolidinium ions: A facile synthesis of Pyrrolo-tetrahydroisoquinolones and Pyrrolo-benzazepinones

The triflic acid-mediated cyclisation of N-arylmethyl- and N-arylethyl-acylpyrrolidinium ions gave moderate to good yields of pyrrolo-tetrahydroisoquinolones and pyrrolo-benzazepinones respectively. Electron-donating R substituents enhanced the rate of reaction and gave higher yields than electron-withdrawing substituents. Substituents on the methyl or ethyl chain in general enhanced the reaction, unless sterically encumbered. The equivalent acylpiperidinium ions cyclised much slower and in lower yield.
