A novel triazine-phosphanimine polymeric organic support (TPA) was synthesized successfully by a controllable one-pot method using melamine (1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine) and trichlorophosphane (PCl3). The TPA substrate is a material incorporating P and N atoms which can coordinate with metals as a pincer ligand to stabilize them, providing an efficient heterogeneous support to prepare recyclable transition metal catalyst systems. In this study, TPA was used as support to immobilize iridium nanoparticles in the range of ~8 nm on its surface, resulting in the generation of a novel iridium nanocatalyst system (INP-TPA-POP). This catalyst system was characterized using different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, TEM, XPS, XRD, SEM, EDX, elemental analysis, ICP and BET analysis. The INP-TPA-POP nanocatalyst exhibited remarkable activity in reduction of aldehydes to alcohols using formic acids as reducing agent in ethanol as solvent.

A new surfactant (quercetin) assisted hydrothermal method is used for the preparation of phase pure cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles (Nps). The quercetin acted well as surfactant in producing size controlled Nps. The produced Nps were extensively characterized by various techniques to reveal its chemical composition, structure, morphology, size and thermal behavior. The main objective of the study is to employ the prepared material as heterogeneous catalyst for hydrogenation of therapeutically important aldehydes. The capability of the catalyst is appear to be good, since the yield of alcohols from structurally different aldehydes is adequate with short period of time. Also the catalyst is recyclable, stable, no need of addition of ligands for activation and environmentally benign.

A series of novel indole derivatives were synthesized as potent inhibitors for the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) tyrosine kinase. Among those, compound 10b demonstrated the highest growth inhibition rate of 66.7% against the VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase at 10 μM which indicates that indole-benzothiazole might be the favorable structure. The binding mode of compound 10b with VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase was evaluated by molecular docking.

An unprecedented tandem N-alkylation-ionic aza-Cope (or Claisen) rearrangement-hydrolysis reaction of readily available indolyl bromides with enamines is described. Due to the complicated nature of the two processes, an operationally simple N-alkylation and subsequent microwave-irradiated ionic aza-Cope rearrangement-hydrolysis process has been uncovered. The tandem reaction serves as a powerful approach to the preparation of synthetically and biologically important, but challenging, 2-reverse quaternary-centered prenylated indoles with high efficiency. Notably, unusual nonaromatic 3-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole architectures, instead of aromatic indoles, are produced. Furthermore, the aza-Cope rearrangement reaction proceeds highly regioselectively to give the quaternary-centered reverse prenyl functionality, which often produces a mixture of two regioisomers by reported methods. The synthetic value of the resulting nonaromatic 3-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1Hindole architectures has been demonstrated as versatile building blocks in the efficient synthesis of structurally diverse 2-reverse prenylated indoles, such as indolines, indolefused sultams and lactams, and the natural product bruceolline D.

Existing CB1 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) fall into a limited range of structural classes. In spite of the theoretical potential of CB1 NAMs, published in vivo studies have generally not been able to demonstrate the expected therapeutically-relevant CB1-mediated effects. Thus, a greater range of molecular tools are required to allow definitive elucidation of the effects of CB1 allosteric modulation. In this study, we show a novel series of indole sulfonamides. Compounds 5e and 6c (ABD1075) had potencies of 4 and 3?nM respectively, and showed good oral exposure and CNS penetration, making them highly versatile tools for investigating the therapeutic potential of allosteric modulation of the cannabinoid system.

, p. 84 - 96 (2014/08/18)
Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/ruthenium dioxide nanoparticles (RuO2NPs) composite was prepared by a straightforward 'dry synthesis' method. After being well characterized, the prepared composite was used as a nanocatalyst (RuO2/MWCNT) for the transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds. The excellent adhesion of RuO2NPs on the anchoring sites of MWCNTs was confirmed by TEM and Raman analyses. The weight percentage (7.97 wt%) and the chemical state (+4) of Ru in RuO2/MWCNT was confirmed by EDS and XPS analyses, respectively. It was found that the RuO2/MWCNT has a higher specific surface area of 189.3 m2 g-1. Initially the reaction conditions were optimized and then the scope of the catalytic system was extended with a wide range of carbonyl compounds. The influence of the size of RuO2NPs on the transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds was also studied. The RuO2/MWCNT is highly chemoselective, heterogeneous in nature, reusable and highly stable. Owing to the high stability of the used catalyst (u-RuO2/MWCNT), it was further calcinated at high temperature to obtain RuO2 nanorods (NRs) hybrid MWCNTs. Then the hybrid material was used as a catalyst (r-RuO 2/MWCNT) for the aerial oxidation of alcohols and the result was found to be good.

Enones selectively react with a combination of PPh3 and TMSOTf to produce phosphonium silyl enol ethers, which work as protective groups of enones during the reduction of other carbonyl functions and can be easily deprotected to regenerate parent enones at workup. Furthermore, the first ketone selective alkylations in the presence of enones were also accomplished. This in situ protection method was applied to concise asymmetric total syntheses of decytospolides A and B.

The interactions of the cruciferous phytoalexins rapalexin A (1), brussalexin A (2) and erucalexin (3) with the fungal plant pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans were analyzed and their inhibitory activities against this pathogen were determined. The reaction of L. maculans to N-methyl S-(indolyl-3-methyl)carbamodithioate, an analogue of brussalexin A, was also investigated. Rapalexin A was resistant to metabolism and was the most inhibitory of all compounds tested, suggesting that increasing concentrations of rapalexin A in Brassica species would improve their disease resistance to L. maculans. By contrast, erucalexin was quickly detoxified by reduction to yield 3-dihydroerucalexins. The relative configurations of the diastereomeric mixture of dihydroerucalexins were established by 1D 1H nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOE). Brussalexin A was chemically unstable decomposing mainly to indolyl-3-methanol, a product with anti-cancer properties. For this reason, brussalexin A might be of interest to use as a prodrug.

A mild and versatile method for the synthesis of some novel indole-1-carbinols has been developed via one-pot reaction of indoles and paraformaldehyde in the presence of an excess of CaO, MgO, ZnO or TiO 2. The solvent-free reaction provided all the indole derivatives in moderate to good yields and short reaction times. Moreover, the effect of some selected indole-1-carbinols on cell proliferation of the hepatoma cell line FaO was evaluated.
