Synthesis and biological evaluation of prodrugs for nitroreductase based 4-β-amino-4′-Demethylepipodophyllotoxin as potential anticancer agents

A series of prodrugs for nitroreductase (NTR) based 4-β-amino-4′- Demethylepipodophyllotoxin as potential anticancer agents were synthesized, and their antiproliferative activities in vitro showed compounds 2b (IC50 = 0.77, 0.83 and 1.19 μM) an

Synthesis and herbicidal activities of aryloxyacetic acid derivatives as HPPD inhibitors

A series of aryloxyacetic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized as 4-hydoxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors. Preliminary bioassay results reveal that these derivatives are promising Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) inhibitors, in particular compounds I12 (Ki = 0.011 μM) and I23 (Ki = 0.012 μM), which exhibit similar activities to that of mesotrione, a commercial HPPD herbicide (Ki = 0.013 μM). Furthermore, the newly synthesized compounds show significant greenhouse herbicidal activities against tested weeds at dosages of 150 g ai/ha. In particular, II4 exhibited high herbicidal activity for pre-emergence treatment that was slightly better than that of mesotrione. In addition, compound II4 was safe for weed control in maize fields at a rate of 150 g ai/ha, and was identified as the most potent candidate for a novel HPPD inhibitor herbicide. The compounds described herein may provide useful guidance for the design of new HPPD inhibiting herbicides and their modification.

Reductive cyclizations of nitroarenes to hydroxamic acids by visible light photoredox catalysis

We have developed a photocatalytic reduction of nitroarenes as an efficient, chemoselective route to biologically important N-phenyl hydroxamic acid scaffolds. Optimal conditions call for 2.5 mol% of a ruthenium photocatalyst, visible light irradiation, and a dihydropyridine terminal reductant. Because of the mild nature of the visible light activation, functional groups that might be sensitive to other non-photochemical reduction methods are easily tolerated.
