Neurogenic and neuroprotective donepezil-flavonoid hybrids with sigma-1 affinity and inhibition of key enzymes in Alzheimer's disease

In this work we describe neurogenic and neuroprotective donepezil-flavonoid hybrids (DFHs), exhibiting nanomolar affinities for the sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) and inhibition of key enzymes in Alzheimer's disease (AD), such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), and monoamine oxidases (MAOs). In general, new compounds scavenge free radical species, are predicted to be brain-permeable, and protect neuronal cells against mitochondrial oxidative stress. N-(2-(1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)ethyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxamide (18) is highlighted due to its interesting biological profile in σ1R, AChE, 5-LOX, MAO-A and MAO-B. In phenotypic assays, it protects a neuronal cell line against mitochondrial oxidative stress and promotes maturation of neural stem cells into a neuronal phenotype, which could contribute to the reparation of neuronal tissues. Molecular modelling studies of 18 in AChE, 5-LOX and σ1R revealed the main interactions with these proteins, which will be further exploited in the optimization of new, more efficient DFHs.

Chemoselective Nitrosylation of Anilines and Alkynes via Fragmentary or Complete NO Incorporation

The cycloaddition reactions have been explored extensively and provided an efficient strategy for the synthesis of cyclic compounds. Traditionally, the reaction partners were in extenso incorporated into the cyclic products without fragmentation. From a different perspective, if certain fragmentations via chemical-bond cleavage are involved in this cycloaddition reaction, it would change the assembly sequence and enable more product diversity. Here, we report a chemoselective nitrosylation of anilines and alkynes through fragmentary or complete NO radical incorporation. The formation of multiple C–N bonds, an unexpected C–N bond, and N=O bond cleavage make this fragmentary cycloaddition reaction an efficient approach to 2,5-dihydrooxazoles, 1H-1,2,3-triazole 2-oxides or quinoxaline N-oxides. Facile operation in open-air, metal-free, and mild conditions renders this protocol particularly practical and attractive. A series of mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations were also conducted, which help to explain the fragmentary or complete NO incorporation processes, broadening the field of new reaction discovery. Exploring novel structures and developing convenient and direct methods to achieve them are an essential issue in synthetic chemistry. In traditional cycloaddition reactions, the reaction partners are in extenso incorporated into the cyclic compound products. In contrast, the fragmentary incorporation of the reaction partners via chemical-bond cleavage in cycloaddition reactions would change the assembly sequence and enable more product diversity. However, fragmentary incorporation in cycloaddition reactions remains a challenging issue because of the high bond-dissociation energy and poor selectivity. This paper reports a fragmentary cycloaddition reaction that enables a series of new structures through a controllable radical process. This work also reveals the diversity of transformation of free radical intermediates. The accessible products might also trigger some interest in pharmaceutical science and materials science. Cycloaddition reactions provide an efficient strategy for the synthesis of cyclic compounds and have been well developed. However, cycloaddition reactions with fragmentary partner incorporation via the cleavage of multiple bonds, which allows for more structural diversity than traditional cycloaddition reactions, have seldom been reported. Here, we describe a chemoselective nitrosylation of anilines and alkynes through fragmentary or complete NO radical incorporation for an efficient approach to 2,5-dihydrooxazoles, 1H-1,2,3-triazole 2-oxides, or quinoxaline N-oxides.

Synthesis of 2-(4-isopropylthiazol-2-yl)-7-methoxy-8-methylquinolin-4-ol; A quinoline building block for simeprevir synthesis

Two synthetic approaches to the achiral quinoline fragment of simeprevir are described. Both approaches are based on the synthesis of methyl 4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-8-methylquinoline-2-carboxylate, protection of its 4-hydroxyl group, and construction of the thiazole ring from the ester group at the 2-position. The last step is acid deprotection of the 4-hydroxyl protecting group. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart. New York.

A synthesis of 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acids via pyrolysis of N- aryldioxopyrrolines

A synthesis of 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acids (8) was achieved by pyrolysis of 4,5-dimethoxycarbonyl-1-aryl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones (3) followed by selective demethoxycarbonylation of the resulting 2,3-dimethoxycarbonyl-4- quinolones (4) in excellent overall yields.
