A regioselective cyanation of heteroaromatic N-oxides with trimethylsilyl cyanide has been developed to obtain 2-substituted N-heteroaromatic nitrile without the requirement of any external activator-, metal-, base-, and solvent. The present protocol is a straightforward, one-pot heteroaromatic C?H cyanation process, and proceeds smoothly in conventional heating but also under microwave irradiation with shorter reaction times. This approach now allows access to a broad class of quinoline N-oxides and other heteroarene N-oxides with high to good yields and can also be scaled up to obtain gram quantities. Further application of this process was observed and utilized in late-stage cyanation of the anti-malarial drug quinine as well as transformation of the 2-cyanoazines to a series of biologically important molecules. Based on the experimental observations, a plausible mechanism has also been proposed highlighting the dual role of trimethylsilyl cyanide as a nitrile source and as an activating agent.

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a fundamental cytosolic biotransforming enzyme that catalyzes the N-methylation of endogenous and exogenous xenobiotics. We have identified small molecule inhibitors of NNMT with >1000-fold range of activity and developed comprehensive structure-Activity relationships (SARs) for NNMT inhibitors. Screening of N-methylated quinolinium, isoquinolinium, pyrididium, and benzimidazolium/benzothiazolium analogues resulted in the identification of quinoliniums as a promising scaffold with very low micromolar (IC50 à 1 μM) NNMT inhibition. Computer-based docking of inhibitors to the NNMT substrate (nicotinamide)-binding site produced a robust correlation between ligand-enzyme interaction docking scores and experimentally calculated IC50 values. Predicted binding orientation of the quinolinium analogues revealed selective binding to the NNMT substrate-binding site residues and essential chemical features driving protein-ligand intermolecular interactions and NNMT inhibition. The development of this new series of small molecule NNMT inhibitors direct the future design of lead drug-like inhibitors to treat several metabolic and chronic disease conditions characterized by abnormal NNMT activity.
Metal-free regioselective C-3 nitration of quinoline N-oxides with tert-butyl nitrite

A direct and eco-friendly nitration methodology to synthesize 3-nitroquinoline N-oxides from quinoline N-oxides using tert-butyl nitrite as both the nitro source and oxidant has been developed. Although this reaction undergoes a free radical process, it exhibits high regioselectivity and can be smoothly scaled up to gram scale. This journal is
