Oxidative stress is constantly involved in the etiopathogenesis of an ever-widening range of neurodegenerative diseases. As a consequence, effective repression of cellular oxidative stress to a redox homeostatic condition is a promising and feasible strategy to treat, or at least retard the progression of, such disorders. Nrf2, a primary orchestrator of cellular antioxidant response machine, is responsible for detoxifying and compensating for deleterious oxidative stress via transcriptional activation of a diverse array of antioxidant biomolecules. In the framework of our persistent interest in disclosing small molecules that interfere with cellular redox-regulating machinery, we report herein the synthesis, optimization, and biological assessment of 47 vinyl sulfone scaffold-bearing small molecules, most of which exhibit robust neuroprotective effect against H2O2-mediated lesions to PC12 cells. After initial screening, the most potent neuroprotective compounds 9b and 9c with marginal cytotoxicity were selected for the follow-up studies. Our results demonstrate that their neuroprotective effects are attributed to the up-regulation of a panel of antioxidant genes and corresponding gene products. Further mechanistic studies indicate that Nrf2 is indispensable for the cellular performances of 9b and 9c, arising from the fact that silence of Nrf2 gene drastically nullifies their protective action. Taken together, 9b and 9c discovered in this work merit further development as neuroprotective candidates for the treatment of oxidative stress-mediated pathological conditions.

A tuneable metal-free protocol for the selective preparation of a-substituted vinyl sulfone and (E)-vinyl sulfone derivatives has been described. In this process, stable paraformaldehyde was used as the carbon source. The base played an important role in the selectivity control of transformations. More than 50 products were synthesized with excellent chemoselectivity and broad functional group tolerance.

Safe and Metal-Free Synthesis of 1-Alkenyl Aryl Sulfides and Their Sulfones from Thiiranes and Diaryliodonium Salts

A series of 1-alkenyl aryl sulfides was synthesized from thiiranes and diaryliodonium salts in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of potassium tert -butoxide. The proposed reaction mechanism involves generation of benzynes from the diaryliodonium salts in the presence of the base. Then, nucleophilic attack of the benzynes by thiiranes, followed by hydrogen abstraction and ring opening of the generated thiiranium intermediates, provides the sulfides. These sulfides were further oxidized with performic acid to the corresponding sulfones. The current method provides a metal-free and safe method for the preparation of 1-alkenyl aryl sulfides and their sulfones.

Although the etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains elusive, recent studies suggest that oxidative stress contributes to the cascade leading to dopaminergic (DAergic) neurodegeneration. The Nrf2 signaling is the main pathway responsible for cellular defense system against oxidative stress. Nrf2 is a transcription factor that regulates environmental stress response by inducing expression of antioxidant enzyme genes. We have synthesized novel vinyl sulfone derivatives. They exhibited a broad range of activities in inducing HO-1, whose gene expression is under the control of Nrf2. Among them, compound 12g was confirmed to activate Nrf2 and induce expression of the Nrf2-dependent antioxidant enzymes NQO1, GCLC, GLCM, and HO-1, at both mRNA and protein levels in DAergic neuronal cells. This was accompanied by protection of DAergic neurons in both in vitro and MPTP-induced in vivo models of PD. In addition, compound 12g effectively resulted in attenuation of the PD-associated behavioral deficits in the mouse model.
