Adenylate cyclases (ACs), play a critical role in the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Studies have indicated that adenylyl cyclase type 2 (AC2) is potential drug target for many diseases, however, up to now, there is no AC2-selective agonist reported. In this research, docking-based virtual screening with the combination of cell-based biological assays have been performed for discovering novel potent and selective AC2 agonists. Virtual screening disclosed a novel hit compound 8 as an AC2 agonist with EC50 value of 8.10 μM on recombinant human hAC2 + HEK293 cells. The SAR (structure activity relationship) based on the derivatives of compound 8 was further explored on recombinant AC2 cells and compound 73 was found to be the most active agonist with the EC50 of 90 nM, which is 160-fold more potent than the reported agonist Forskolin and could selectively activate AC2 to inhibit the expression of Interleukin-6. The discovery of a new class of AC2-selective agonists would provide a novel chemical probe to study the physiological function of AC2.

A very low amount of organic dye (Alizarin red S) sensitized TiO2 and it was successfully used to catalyze cascade C(sp3)-H to C(sp2)-H bond formation/cyclization reactions under visible light irradiation. The modified TiO2 photocatalyst efficiently, for the first time, advanced [4+2] cyclization of N,N-dimethylanilines and maleimides to the corresponding tetrahydroquinolines in air atmosphere. The reaction proceeds through α-amino radicals without additional oxidant at ambient temperature to afford products in good to excellent yields.

Nano-sized CdS was successfully prepared, fully characterized and applied as a highly efficient reusable photocatalyst for the synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinolone and pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-8-carboxylate derivatives through a condensation reaction of N,N-dimethylanilines or alkyl 2-(3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)acetates with maleimides via a C-H activation approach under benign and eco-friendly conditions at room temperature without using any solvent and oxidant under visible light irradiation. Besides, the prepared photocatalyst has been successfully applied for the condensation reaction of N,N-dimethylanilines with alkyl but-2-ynedioates or phenyl acetylenes for the synthesis of novel 1,2-dihydroquinoline-3,4-dicarboxylate and aryl-1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives for the first time. Using this method, all favourable products were obtained in good yields and relatively short reaction times under benign conditions with the application of visible light irradiation, a renewable energy source. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused several times without any loss of its activity.

CH-π interactions have been cited as an important contributor to carbohydrate recognition. To determine whether N-heterocycles form stronger CH-π interactions, the interactions of methyl ether groups with heterocyclic and nonheterocyclic aromatic surfaces

The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) plays a major role in many physiological processes, and its action is quickly terminated via enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by monoglyceride lipase (MGL). Regulating its endogenous level could offer therapeutic opportunities; however, few selective MGL inhibitors have been described so far. Here, we describe the synthesis of N-substituted maleimides and their pharmacological evaluation on the recombinant human fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and on the purified human MGL. A few N-arylmaleimides were previously described (Saario, S. M.; Salo, O. M.; Nevalainen, T.; Poso, A.; Laitinen, J. T.; Jarvinen, T.; Niemi, R. Characterization of the Sulfhydryl-Sensitive Site in the Enzyme Responsible for Hydrolysis of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in Rat Cerebellar Membranes. Chem. Biol. 2005, 12, 649-656) as MGL inhibitors, and along these lines, we present a new set of maleimide derivatives that showed low micromolar IC50 and high selectivity toward MGL vs FAAH. Then, structure-activity relationships have been investigated and, for instance, 1-biphenyl-4-ylmethylmaleimide inhibits MGL with an IC50 value of 790 nM. Furthermore, rapid dilution experiments reveal that these compounds act as irreversible inhibitors. In conclusion, N-substituted maleimides constitute a promising class of potent and selective MGL inhibitors.

A series of non-hydroxylic crystalline host compounds, [4 + 2]π cycloadducts of phencyclone and N-arylmaleimides having a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene-7-one system, was synthesized and their inclusion behavior investigated. X-Ray crystal analyses of the inclusion compounds of the N-(1-naphthyl) derivative with butan-2-one, the N-(m-tolyl) derivative with p-xylene, together with the guest-free host and the N-(p-tolyl) derivative with m-xylene indicate that the "space" surrounded by the phenanthrene ring, two phenyl rings and bridge carbonyl of the 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-dihydrocyclopenta[l]phenanthren-2-one moiety plays an important role, not only in the formation of inclusion complexes with the aromatic guests but also in host-host interactions. In every case, the N-aryl succinimide assists complex formation with the guests, in which the weak lattice forces due to C-H ... π and C-H ... O interactions are operative. Methyl-substituted benzenes are effectively recognized by the C-H ... π interactions between the guest molecules and the phenanthrene ring of the hosts.
Rotational features of carbon-nitrogen bonds in N-aryl maleimides. Atroposelective reactions of o-tert-butylphenylmaleimides

Atroposelective addition and cycloaddition reactions of N-2- (tertbutylphenyl)- and N-2,5 (di-tert-butylphenyl)maleimide and a substituted derivative have been studied. Good to excellent stereoselectivities are generally observed, and high rotation barriers (about 29 kcal/mol) prevent the products from inter, converting. Crystal structures of the precursors and products support a straightforward model where reactants attack trans to the o-tert butyl group.
