A MsOH-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of acridans and silyl diazoenolates and a Rh2(OAc)4-catalyzed rearrangement of the resultant diazo products are described. The reactions provide various γ-(9-acridanylidene)-β-keto esters in good yields, which bear an active α-methylene unit for further functionalization.

STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) has become a focal point in immunology research and a target in drug discovery. The discovery of a potent human-STING agonist is expected to revolutionize current anti-virus or cancer immunotherapy. Inspired by the structure and function of murine STING-specific agonists (DMXAA and CMA), we rationally designed and synthesized four series of novel compounds for the enhancement of human sensitivity. In the cell-based assay, we identified six compounds from all the synthetic small molecules: 2g, 9g, and 12b are STING agonists that are efficacious across species, and all have the skeleton of acridone; 1b, 1c, and 12c just function in the murine STING pathway. Notably, 12b exhibits the best activity among the six agonists, and its inductions of both human and murine STING-dependent signalling are similar to that of 2′3′-cGAMP, which is a well-known STING inducer. While a protein assay indicated that 2 g, 9 g, and 12b could activate the pathway by directly binding human STING, 12b also displayed the strongest binding affinity. Additionally, our studies show that 12b can induce faster, more powerful, and more durable responses of assorted cytokines in a native system than 2′3′-cGAMP. Consequently, our team is the first to successfully modify murine STING agonists to obtain human sensitivity, and these results suggest that 12b is a potent direct-human-STING agonist. Additionally, the acridone analogues demonstrate tremendous potential in the treatment of tumours or viral infections.

A mild metal-, catalyst-, and oxidant-free photoredox neutral system has been found to efficiently enable intramolecular decarboxylative cyclization of anthranilic acids. This facile protocol provides an alternative method for the synthesis of carbazoles. Mechanistic studies reveal a key photoinduced 6π-electrocyclization process and formic acid was released as the sole byproduct.
NIS-mediated intramolecular oxidative α-functionalization of tertiary amines: Transition metal-free synthesis of 1,2-dihydro-(4H)-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one derivatives
Liu, Le,Du, Liang,Zhang-Negrerie,Du, Yunfei
, p. 29774 - 29781 (2015/05/20)
A novel method for direct α-functionalization of tertiary amines via NIS-mediated oxidative C-O bond formation, where NIS serves as both an oxidant and an iodination reagent, has been developed. The method provides easy access to either iodinated or non-iodinated 1,2-dihydro-(4H)-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones, depending on the nature of the reactant, via a regioselective transition metal-free approach.

PhI(OAc)2-mediated intramolecular oxidative aryl-aldehyde C sp 2-C sp 2 bond formation: Metal-free synthesis of acridone derivatives
Zheng, Zisheng,Dian, Longyang,Yuan, Yucheng,Zhang-Negrerie, Daisy,Du, Yunfei,Zhao, Kang
, p. 7451 - 7458 (2014/09/17)
A metal-free protocol for direct aryl-aldehyde Csp2-Csp 2 bond formation via a PhI(OAc)2-mediated intramolecular cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of various 2-(N-arylamino)aldehydes was developed. The novel methodology requires no need of preactivation of the aldehyde group, is applicable to a large variety of functionalized substrates, and most of all provides a convenient approach to the construction of biologically important acridone derivatives.
Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed dehydrogenative cyclization for synthesis of N-methylacridones
Li, Xi-An,Wang, Hong-Li,Yang, Shang-Dong

A novel method has been developed for the synthesis of substituted N-methylacridones from 2-(N-methyl-N-phenylamino)benzaldehydes via dehydrogenative cyclization. This transformation involves two primary processes: the aldehyde first coordinates with Sc(OTf)3 and induces the aromatic electrophilic substitution (SEAr) reaction to form the active intermediate N-methyl-acridin-9-ol, which is then quickly oxidized in situ to afford the acridones. Furthermore, the procedure involved is both environmental friendly and atom efficient; H2O is the only byproduct in this reaction.
Inhibition of human dhodh by 4-hydroxycoumarins, fenamic acids, and n-(alkylcarbonyl)anthranilic acids identified by structure-guided fragment selection

experimental part, p. 608 - 617 (2010/12/25)
A strategy that combines virtual screening and structureguided selection of fragments was used to identify three unexplored classes of human DHODH inhibitor compounds: 4-hydroxycoumarins, fenamic acids, and N-(alkylcarbonyl) anthranilic acids. Structure-guided selection of fragments targeting the inner subsite of the DHODH ubiquinone binding site made these findings possible with screening of fewer than 300 fragments in a DHODH assay. Fragments from the three inhibitor classes identified were subsequently chemically expanded to target an additional subsite of hydrophobic character. All three classes were found to exhibit distinct structure-activity relationships upon expansion. The novel N-(alkylcarbonyl)anthranilic acid class shows the most promising potency against human DHODH, with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range. The structure of human DHODH in complex with an inhibitor of this class is presented.

Haspin is a serine/threonine kinase required for completion of normal mitosis that is highly expressed during cell proliferation, including in a number of neoplasms. Consequently, it has emerged as a potential therapeutic target in oncology. A high throughput screen of approximately 140,000 compounds identified an acridine analog as a potent haspin kinase inhibitor. Profiling against a panel of 270 kinases revealed that the compound also exhibited potent inhibitory activity for DYRK2, another serine/threonine kinase. An optimization study of the acridine series revealed that the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the acridine series for haspin and DYRK2 inhibition had many similarities. However, several structural differences were noted that allowed generation of a potent haspin kinase inhibitor (33, IC50 50 400 nM) with a 5.4-fold selectivity over haspin was also identified.
Studies on 4(1H)-quinazolinones. 5. Synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of 4(1H)-quinazolinone derivatives

A number of new 4(1H)-quinazolinones were synthesized and evaluated in the carrageenin-induced paw edema test. Most of the compounds were obtained by the cyclization of the appropriately substituted anthranilamides with acid chlorides, followed by further chemical transformation. Structure-activity data suggest that 2-isopropyl-1-phenyl-, 2-cyclopropyl-1-phenyl-, and 1-isopropyl-2-phenyl-4(1H)-quinazolinones afford optimal potency and the presence of a halogen atom is preferred for activity. Adrenalectomy does not affect the antiinflammatory test results. The best result taking into account both efficacy and side effects was displayed by 1-isoproyl-(2-fluorophenyl)-4(1H)-quinazolinone.
