The combination between two well-studied bioactive compounds melatonin and salicylic acid with proper modifications unexpectedly creates a sharp pair of “scissors” cutting off the vicious connection between inflammation and cancer by targeting a key contributor Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription 3 (STAT3) in the two pathological processes. A representative compound P-3 with IC50 values on each tested cell line ranging from 7.37 to 18.62 μM among the designed melatonin derivatives is equipped with the ability of curbing inflammation-promoting cancer by down-regulating the expression, activation and nuclear translocation of STAT3, breaking the feedforward loop of STAT3 activation by decreasing the expression of pro-tumorigenic cytokines, and inducing cell apoptosis through ROS triggered Cyto-c/Caspase-3 pathway. This study suggests that the melatonin derivative P-3 is likely to become a promising chemical structure for developing the novel anti-cancer agents taking effect through hindering the mutual-promoting processes between inflammation and cancer.

A novel and efficient synthesis of isatoic anhydride derivatives was developed via palladium-catalyzed multistep tandem carbonylation/N-dealkylation/carbonylation reaction with alkyl as the leaving group and tertiary anilines as nitrogen nucleophiles. This approach features good functional group compatibility and readily available starting materials. Furthermore, it provided a convenient approach for the synthesis of biologically and medicinally useful evodiamine.

Efficient access to evodiamine and its analogues is presented via Lewis acid catalysis. In this reaction, three chemical bonds and two heterocyclic-fused rings are constructed in one step. The reaction shows good functional group tolerance and atom economy, and various heteroatom-containing evodiamine analogues are obtained in moderate to excellent yields even on a gram scale. An anti-tumor study in vitro demonstrates compound 2b possesses potent efficacy against hepatoma cell line (IC50 = 5.7 μM).
