The cysteine proteases, cruzain and TbrCATL (rhodesain), are therapeutic targets for Chagas disease and Human African Trypanosomiasis, respectively. Among the known inhibitors for these proteases, we have described N4-benzyl-N2-phenylquinazoline-2,4-diamine (compound 7 in the original publication, 1a in this study), as a competitive cruzain inhibitor (Ki = 1.4 μM). Here, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of 22 analogs of 1a, containing modifications in the quinazoline core, and in the substituents in positions 2 and 4 of this ring. The analogs demonstrate low micromolar inhibition of the target proteases and cidal activity against Trypanosoma cruzi with up to two log selectivity indices in counterscreens with myoblasts. Fourteen compounds were active against Trypanosoma brucei at low to mid micromolar concentrations. During the optimization of 1a, structure-based design and prediction of physicochemical properties were employed to maintain potency against the enzymes while removing colloidal aggregator characteristics observed for some molecules in this series.

Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is one of the most common forms of lung cancer, and a leading cause of cancer death among human beings. There is an urgent demand for novel therapeutics for the treatment of NSCLC to enhance the efficacy of the currently applied Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy and to overcome therapy-resistance. Here, we report a novel small-molecule inhibitor that simultaneously targets histone deacetylase (HDAC) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). The HDAC/MIF dual inhibitor proved to be toxic for EGFR mutated (H1650, TKI-resistant) or knock out (A549 EGFR?/?) NSCLC cell lines. Further experiments showed that HDAC inhibition inhibits cell survival and proliferation, while MIF inhibition downregulates pAKT or AKT expression level, which both interfere with cell survival. Furthermore, the combination treatment of TKI and HDAC/MIF dual inhibitor showed that the dual inhibitor enhanced TKI inhibitory efficacy, highlighting the advantages of HDAC/MIF dual inhibitor for more effective treatment of NSCLC.

An increasing resistance of human pathogenic bacteria and fungi has become a global health problem. Based on previous reports of 4-(salicylideneamino)benzoic acids, we designed, synthesised and evaluated their me-too analogues as potential antimicrobial agents. Forty imines derived from substituted salicylaldehydes and aminobenzoic acids, 4-aminobenzoic acid esters and 4-amino-N-phenylbenzamide were designed using molecular hybridization and prodrug strategies. The target compounds were synthesized with high yields and characterized by spectral methods. They were investigated against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, yeasts and moulds. The most active imines were tested to determine their cytotoxicity and selectivity in HepG2 cells. Dihalogenosalicylaldehydes-based derivatives showed potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (minimum inhibitory concentrations, MIC, from 7.81 μM) and Enterococcus faecalis (MIC of ≥15.62 μM), yeasts (MIC from 7.81 μM) and Trichophyton interdigitale mould (MIC of ≥3.90 μM). Methyl 4-[(2-hydroxy-3,5-diiodobenzylidene)amino]benzoate 4h exhibited excellent in vitro activity along with low toxicity to mammalian cells. This compound is selective for staphylococci, Candida spp. and Trichophyton interdigitale. In addition, this imine was evaluated as a potential inhibitor of Gram-positive biofilms. The successful approach used provided some promising derivatives with more advantageous properties than the parent 4-(salicylideneamino)benzoic acids.

A novel heterogeneous copper catalyst has been developed by supporting copper nanoparticles on activated charcoal via in situ reducing copper(II) with aqueous hydrazine as reductant. The characterization of Cu/C catalyst showed that the Cu0 nano-particles were formed on the surface of charcoal. This catalyst displayed good catalytic activities toward the N-arylation of primary amides and lactams with aryl iodides.

An efficient and facile route for CO-based carbonylation of aryl iodides with amines to synthesize amides has been established by using SiO2 supported Pd(0) as the catalyst in a mild basic environment (K2CO3). This ligand-free heterogeneous reaction model can afford amide products in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) under atmospheric CO pressure and moderate temperature. The supported catalyst also displayed a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance and good recyclability. These features render the as-provided carbonylation approach sustainable and applicable in organic synthesis.

The protein arginine deiminases (PADs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the post-translational hydrolytic deimination of arginine residues. Four different enzymologically active PAD subtypes have been characterized and exhibit tissue-specific expression and association with a number of different diseases. In this Article we describe the development of an approach for the reliable discovery of low molecular weight, nonpeptidic fragment substrates of the PADs that then can be optimized and converted to mechanism-based irreversible PAD inhibitors. The approach is demonstrated by the development of potent and selective inhibitors of PAD3, a PAD subtype implicated in the neurodegenerative response to spinal cord injury. Multiple structurally distinct inhibitors were identified with the most potent inhibitors having >10,000 min-1 M-1 kinact/KI values and ≥10-fold selectivity for PAD3 over PADs 1, 2, and 4.

An oxidative dearomatizing cyclization of arylamines promoted by iodobenzene bis(trifluoroacetate) [PhI(CF3CO2) 2] has been explored, leading to a novel synthetic approach to functionalized spirocyclic building blocks containing the structurally unique dieniminium moiety. This unprecedented methodology, featuring oxidative dearomatization and carbon-carbon bond-forming cyclization, to some extent, not only expands the synthetic potential of hypervalent iodine chemistry, but also enriches the oxidation chemistry of arylamines.

In this paper, highly efficient photocatalytic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds was investigated using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and commercial nano-TiO2 as a host-guest system in water under sunlight irradiation. The nitroaromatic compounds solubilized in water through encapsulation in β-CD formed an inclusion complex which was attached to TiO2 under sunlight irradiation. This 'guest-host system' that we call 'Green Nest' showed high efficiency for the reduction of nitro compounds to the corresponding amines, and more interestingly, one pot reductive N-formylation and N-acylation from nitroaromatic compounds can be carried out in the presence of triethyl orthoformate, acetic and benzoic anhydride. The β-CD-TiO2 was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, UV-visible spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.

Copper-catalyzed intermolecular C-N bond-forming reactions between aryl iodides and amides are described using sodium ascorbate, which is both cheap and nontoxic, as the additive. A variety of functionalized amides including some practical, unique secondary amides, such as N-arylacrylamides and 4-amido-N-phenylbenzamides, which are difficult to obtain by the classical methods, are prepared. Furthermore, some tertiary amides are prepared by using copper thiophenecarboxylate.
