Allylic amines are valuable and functional building blocks. Direct N-allylation of pyrazole and its derivatives as an atom economic strategy to provide allylic amines has been achieved only using commercial Bu4NHSO4 as the metal-free catalyst and water as the solvent without any additives. 11–93% isolated yields were obtained for the N-allylation of pyrazole and its derivatives with allylic alcohols. Bu4NHSO4 could be reused for six times by simple extraction nearly without loss of catalytic activity and was also suitable for a gram-scale production. The reaction of allylic ether and pyrazole did not occur to give the desired product indicated that allylic ether was not the active intermediate in the pathway. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that there are hydrogen bonding effects among substrates, solvent and catalyst, especially the one formed between allylic alcohol and H2O. Control experiments in different protic solvents further demonstrate the intermolecular hydrogen bonding of allylic alcohol and water. (Figure presented.).

Targeting Streptococcus mutans is the primary focus in reducing dental caries, one of the most common maladies in the world. Previously, our groups discovered a potent bactericidal biaryl compound that was inspired by the natural product honokiol. Herein, a structure activity relationship (SAR) study to ascertain structural motifs key to inhibition is outlined. Furthermore, mechanism studies show that bacterial membrane disruption is central to the bacterial growth inhibition. During this process, it was discovered that analog C2 demonstrated a 4-fold better therapeutic index compared to the commercially available antimicrobial cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) making it a viable alternative for oral care.

Bi(OTf)3 catalyzed disproportionation reaction of cinnamyl alcohols provides chalcones and benzyl styrenes. The use of various metal triflates is investigated herein for facile and efficient redox transformation. A plausible mechanism has been proposed.

A convenient and regioselective cross-coupling of heteroaryl boronic acids with allylic alcohols under catalyst-free reaction conditions is described. The developed procedure is simple, works under external oxidant- and metal-free conditions, and proves to be very general with an unprecedented ortho-selectivity. This approach represents one of the very few examples of ortho-functionalization of boronic acids.

A convenient platinum-catalyzed tandem cyclization reaction from readily available amino-ACHTUNGTRENUNGalkynes and enones has been developed to efficiently prepare multiply substituted indolines in good yields under microwave irradiation within a short reaction time. This efficient reaction is presumed to proceed via a tandem process involving intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkynes, Michael addition of enones, aldol condensation and intermolecular transfer hydrogenation.

Osteosarcoma is a primary bone malignancy with aggressive metastatic potential and poor prognosis rates. In our earlier work we have investigated the therapeutic potential of curcumin as an anti-invasive agent in osteosarcoma by its ability to regulate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. However, the clinical use of curcumin is limited owing to its low potency and poor pharmacokinetic profile. In this study, an attempt was made to achieve more potent Wnt inhibitory activity in osteosarcoma cells by carrying out synthetic chemical modifications of curcumin. We synthesized a total of five series consisting of 43 curcumin analogs and screened in HEK293T cells for inhibition of β-catenin transcriptional activity. Six promising analogs, which were 6.5- to 60-fold more potent than curcumin in inhibiting Wnt activity, were further assessed for their anti-invasive activity and Wnt inhibitory mechanisms. Western blot analysis showed disruption of β-catenin protein nuclear translocation following treatment with analogs 2f, 3c and 4f. Using transwell assays, we also found that these compounds were more potent than 1a (curcumin) in impeding the invasion of osteosarcoma cells, possibly through suppressing MMP-9 activity. Structure-activity-relationship studies revealed that Wnt inhibitory effects could be enhanced by shortening and restraining the flexibility of the 7-carbon linker moiety connecting the terminal aromatic rings of curcumin and substituting both rings with appropriate substituents. Our results demonstrate that the synthesized curcumin analogs are more potent Wnt inhibitors in osteosarcoma cell lines as compared to parental curcumin and are good lead compounds for further development. Future in vivo tests with these compounds will define their therapeutic potentials as promising drug candidates for clinical treatment of osteosarcoma.

The search for novel compounds of relevance to the treatment of diseases caused by trypanosomatid protozoan parasites continues. Screening of a large library of known bioactive compounds has led to several drug-like starting points for further optimisation. In this study, novel analogues of the monoamine uptake inhibitor indatraline were prepared and assessed both as inhibitors of trypanothione reductase (TryR) and against the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Although it proved difficult to significantly increase the potency of the original compound as an inhibitor of TryR, some insight into the preferred substituent on the amine group and in the two aromatic rings of the parent indatraline was deduced. In addition, detailed mode of action studies indicated that two of the inhibitors exhibit a mixed mode of inhibition. Give these inhibitors a TryR: Indatraline is a CNS-active inhibitor of trypanothione reductase (TryR) revealed in a previous high-throughput screen. For this study we prepared analogues of indatraline and tested their capacity to inhibit TryR and the proliferation of Trypanosoma brucei cells. Inhibitors of micromolar potency with a mixed mode of inhibition were identified.
