We report herein a new convergent one pot method for the synthesis of amino benzyl ethers containing a bicyclic amine, derived from different substituted benzyl alcohols and bicyclic amino alcohols such as tropine, pseudotropine, and 3-quinuclidinol, using chlorotrimethylsilane and sodium iodide. In order to avoid the competitive reaction with the nitrogen atom, a solution of the separately prepared alkoxide of tropine, pseudotropine, and 3-quinuclidinol was added to the preformed substituted benzyl iodides and allowed to reflux at 90 °C for 15 h under nitrogen atmosphere. This method provides an efficient alternative of the preparation of amino benzyl ethers in organic synthesis with good yields in comparison with existed methods.

A series of iridium-based catalysts for dehydrogenation of formic acid, and hydrogenation using formic acid as the hydrogen source, and the process using the catalyst(s) to produce hydrogen gas from formic acid solution, or to reduce aldehydes using formic acid, are disclosed and claimed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a group of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) iridium complexes with different Ν,Ν-bidentate ligands that catalyze dehydrogenation from formic acid, and chemo-selective hydrogenation of aldehydes, in the aqueous solution system in a highly efficient, and long life-time manner.

A water-soluble highly efficient iridium catalyst is developed for the chemoselective reduction of aldehydes to alcohols in water. The reduction uses formic acid as the traceless reducing agent and water as a solvent. It can be carried out in air without the need for inert atmosphere protection. The products can be purified by simple extraction without any column chromatography. The catalyst loading can be as low as 0.005 mol% and the turn-over frequency (TOF) is as high as 73 800 mol mol-1 h-1. A wide variety of functional groups, such as electron-rich or deficient (hetero)arenes and alkenes, alkyloxy groups, halogens, phenols, ketones, esters, carboxylic acids, cyano, and nitro groups, are all well tolerated, indicating excellent chemoselectivity.

Lipoxygenases metabolize polyunsaturated fatty acids into signalling molecules such as leukotrienes and lipoxins. 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is an important mammalian lipoxygenase and plays a crucial regulatory role in several respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD and chronic bronchitis. Novel potent and selective inhibitors of 15-LOX-1 are required to explore the role of this enzyme in drug discovery. In this study we describe structure activity relationships for 6-benzyloxysalicylates as inhibitors of human 15-LOX-1. Kinetic analysis suggests competitive inhibition and the binding model of these compounds can be rationalized using molecular modelling studies. The most potent derivative 37a shows a Ki value of 1.7 μM. These structure activity relationships provide a basis to design improved inhibitors and to explore 15-LOX-1 as a drug target.

Lipoxygenases (LOXs) and cyclooxygenases (COXs) metabolize poly-unsaturated fatty acids into inflammatory signaling molecules. Modulation of the activity of these enzymes may provide new approaches for therapy of inflammatory diseases. In this study, we screened novel anacardic acid derivatives as modulators of human 5-LOX and COX-2 activity. Interestingly, a novel salicylate derivative 23a was identified as a surprisingly potent activator of human 5-LOX. This compound showed both non-competitive activation towards the human 5-LOX activator adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and non-essential mixed type activation against the substrate linoleic acid, while having no effect on the conversion of the substrate arachidonic acid. The kinetic analysis demonstrated a non-essential activation of the linoleic acid conversion with a KA of 8.65 μM, αKA of 0.38 μM and a β value of 1.76. It is also of interest that a comparable derivative 23d showed a mixed type inhibition for linoleic acid conversion. These observations indicate the presence of an allosteric binding site in human 5-LOX distinct from the ATP binding site. The activatory and inhibitory behavior of 23a and 23d on the conversion of linoleic compared to arachidonic acid are rationalized by docking studies, which suggest that the activator 23a stabilizes linoleic acid binding, whereas the larger inhibitor 23d blocks the enzyme active site.
