The controlled preparation of chiral emissive transition metal complexes is fundamental in the field of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) active molecular materials. For this purpose, enantiopure Zn(ii) complexes 1 and 2 based on a tetradentate salen ligand surrounded by [4]helicene moieties, together with their racemic counterpart 3, have been herein synthesized. Chirality is primarily brought about by chiral 1,2-cyclohexane-diamines. Alternatively, achiral complex 4 based on ortho-phenylene-diamine has been prepared as well. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses have been performed on helicenic intermediates 8 and 9 and complexes 1 and 4. Complexes 1 and 4 display the typical tetradentate O,N,N,O coordination around Zn(ii) characteristic of salen ligands, and bear two [4]helicene moieties. The zinc complexes are luminescent in the visible range around 560 nm at room temperature in aerated solutions with the QY reaching ca. 15% for a luminescence lifetime of 5.5 ns. The optical activities of these complexes have been assessed by CD and CPL, and compared to DFT calculations.

A known natural product, magnaldehyde B, was identified as an agonist of retinoid X receptor (RXR) α. Magnaldehyde B was isolated from Magnolia obovata (Magnoliaceae) and synthesized along with more potent analogs for screening of their RXRα agonistic activities. Structural optimization of magnaldehyde B resulted in the development of a candidate molecule that displayed a 440-fold increase in potency. Receptor-ligand docking simulations indicated that this molecule has the highest affinity with the ligand binding domain of RXRα among the analogs synthesized in this study. Furthermore, the selective activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) δ-RXR heterodimer with a stronger efficacy compared to those of PPARα-RXR and PPARγ-RXR was achieved in luciferase reporter assays using the PPAR response element driven reporter (PPRE-Luc). The PPARδactivity of the molecule was significantly inhibited by the antagonists of both RXR and PPARδ, whereas the activity of GW501516 was not affected by the RXR antagonist. Furthermore, the molecule exhibited a particularly weak PPARδagonistic activity in reporter gene assays using the Gal4 hybrid system. The obtained data therefore suggest that the weak PPARδagonistic activity of the optimized molecule is synergistically enhanced by its own RXR agonistic activity, indicating the potent agonistic activity of the PPARδ-RXR heterodimer.

A series of thiosemicarbazone analogs based on the benzophenone, thiophene, pyridine, and fluorene molecular frameworks has been prepared by chemical synthesis and evaluated as small-molecule inhibitors of the cysteine proteases cathepsin L and cathepsin B. The two most potent inhibitors of cathepsin L in this series (IC50 50 = 150.8 nM). Bromine substitution in the thiophene series results in compounds that demonstrate only moderate inhibition of cathepsin L. The two most active analogs in the benzophenone thiosemicarbazone series are highly selective for their inhibition of cathepsin L versus cathepsin B.

In the course of search for the robust analogs of 1′-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA, 1), the Rev-export inhibitor from the medicinal plant Alpinia galanga, we clarified formation of the quinone methide intermediate ii to be essential for exerting the inhibi
Palladium-catalyzed reactions of cyclohexadienones: Regioselective cyclizations triggered by alkyne acetoxylation

Regioselective cyclizations of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones can be accomplished under palladium catalysis. The cyclization involves an initial Pd-mediated acetoxylation of the alkyne, followed by migratory insertion and protonolysis of the resulting

Nine new resveratrol derivatives, having bromo, iodo, and fluoroethyl groups, were designed and synthesized. All compounds having free phenol groups showed good free radical scavenging activity. Among them, 2-bromoresveratrol 19 has a similar free radical scavenging activity to (+)-catechin.
