Novel imidazole-based combretastatin A-4 analogues: Evaluation of their in vitro antitumor activity and molecular modeling study of their binding to the colchicine site of tubulin

The in vitro antitumor activity of novel combretastatin-like 1,5- and 1,2-diaryl-1H-imidazoles was evaluated against the NCI 60 human tumor cell lines panel. Compounds 2d and 2g proved to be more cytotoxic than CA-4 in tests involving their evaluation ove

Efficient and highly regioselective direct C-2 arylation of azoles, including free (NH)-imidazole, -benzimidazole and -indole, with aryl halides

The Pd- and Cu-mediated reaction of a large variety of π-electron sufficient heteroarenes, which include free (NH)-imidazoles, -benzimidazole and -indole, with aryl iodides under ligandless and base-free conditions provides regioselectively the required 2-arylheterocycle derivatives in high yields. 2-Aryl-1-phenyl-1H-imidazoles can also be prepared by a one-pot domino HALEX and Pd- and Cu-mediated arylation reactions of 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole with activated and unactivated aryl bromides under base-free and ligandless conditions. The protocol for the synthesis of 2-arylazoles involving the use of aryl iodides has been found to be suitable for the efficient preparation of three bioactive compounds and a key intermediate in the synthesis of a heparanase inhibitor.

Structure-activity relationship study to understand the estrogen receptor-dependent gene activation of aryl- and alkyl-substituted 1H-imidazoles

A series of C5-substituted 1,2,4-triaryl-1H-imidazoles was synthesized. Their gene-activating properties were determined on estrogen receptor alpha positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells, stably transfected with the plasmid ERE wtcluc (MCF-7-2a cells). The influence of 4-OH and 2-Cl substituents on the phenyl rings as well as the significance of a methyl, ethyl, or phenyl group at C5 on the estrogen receptor binding and the resulting gene activation in MCF-7-2a cells was studied. The alkyl and aryl groups at C5 of 1,2,4-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-imidazole 1 increased the transactivation, while chlorine atoms on the phenyl rings diminished this effect. 5-Ethyl-1,2,4-tris(4- hydroxyphenyl)-1H-imidazole 9 was identified as the most active compound. Its excellent transcriptional activity did not only depend on the C5 ethyl group, but also on the three hydroxyl groups of the phenyl rings. Compounds (11-14) with a reduced number of hydroxyl groups displayed distinctly lower gene activation.

Regiocontrolled synthesis of 1,2-diaryl-1H-imidazoles by palladium- and copper-mediated direct coupling of 1-aryl-1H-imidazoles with aryl halides under ligandless conditions

A large variety of 1,2-diaryl-1H-imidazoles, including a selective COX-2 inhibitor, have been regioselectively synthesised in moderate to high yields by direct coupling of 1-aryl-1H-imidazoles with aryl iodides or bromides in DMF in the presence of CsF an

Palladium- and copper-mediated direct C-2 arylation of azoles - Including free (NH)-imidazole, -benzimidazole and -indole - Under base-free and ligandless conditions

The first palladium- and copper-mediated C-2 arylations of thiazole, oxazole, N-methylimidazole and N-arylimidazoles, as well as of free (NH)-imidazole, -benzimidazole and -indole, with aryl iodides under ligandless and base-free conditions are described. Complete selectivity has been achieved under these unprecedented conditions, which allow the use of substrates containing base-sensitive groups, such the NH groups of imidazole, benzimidazole or indole, without their prior protection. No N-arylation products were detected in the arylation of free (NH)-imidazole, -benzimidazole and -indole. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.

Regioselective synthesis of 1,5-diaryl-1H-imidazoles by palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of 1-aryl-1H-imidazoles

A variety of 1,5-diaryl-1H-imidazoles have been regioselectively synthesized by direct coupling of 1-aryl-1H-imidazoles with aryl iodides or bromides in DMF in the presence of CsF as the base and a catalyst precursor consisting of a mixture of Pd(OAc)sub
