- Synthesis of novel isoflavone/benzo-δ-sultam hybrids as potential anti-inflammatory drugs
-
A small series of novel isoflavone/benzo-δ-sultam hybrids was synthesised and evaluated as potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective drugs in LPS-activated BV2 microglia. The benzo-δ-sultam core was constructed in a two-step reaction by coupling 2-halobenzenesulfonamide derivatives with terminal alkynes, followed by a 6-endo-dig cyclisation. The synthesised compounds, including precursors and hybrids, were tested for their ability to inhibit NO and TNF-α production in LPS-stimulated BV2 microglial cells, and the results are promising. The most potent hybrid reduces the NO production to 41%, and the TNF-α to 34% at 20 μM final concentration in the well.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel dimethylamino chalcone-O-alkylamines derivatives as potential multifunctional agents against Alzheimer's disease
-
A novel series of dimethylamino chalcone-O-alkylamines derivatives was designed and synthesized as multifunctional agents for the treatment of AD. All the target compounds exhibited significant abilities to inhibit and disaggregate Aβ aggregation, and acted as potential selective AChE inhibitors, biometal chelators and selective MAO-B inhibitors. Among these compounds, compound TM-6 showed the greatest inhibitory activity against self-induced Aβ aggregation (IC50 = 0.88 μM) and well disaggregation ability toward self-induced Aβ aggregation (95.1%, 25 μM), the TEM images, molecular docking study and molecular dynamics simulations provided reasonable explanation for its high efficiency, and it was also found to be a remarkable antioxidant (ORAC-FL values of 2.1eq.), the best AChE inhibitor (IC50 = 0.13 μM) and MAO-B inhibitor (IC50 = 1.0 μM), as well as a good neuroprotectant. UV–visual spectrometry and ThT fluorescence assay revealed that compound TM-6 was not only a good biometal chelator by inhibiting Cu2+-induced Aβ aggregation (95.3%, 25 μM) but also could disassemble the well-structured Aβ fibrils (88.1%, 25 μM). Further, TM-6 could cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vitro. More importantly, compound TM-6 did not show any acute toxicity in mice at doses of up to 1000 mg/kg and improved scopolamine-induced memory impairment. Taken together, these data indicated that TM-6, an excellent balanced multifunctional inhibitor, was a potential lead compound for the treatment of AD.

- Anti‐melanogenic properties of velutin and its analogs?
-
Velutin, one of the flavones contained in natural plants, has various beneficial activities, such as skin whitening, as well as anti‐inflammatory, anti‐allergic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. However, the relationship between the structure of velutin and its anti‐melanogenesis activity is not yet investigated. In this study, we obtained 12 velutin derivatives substituted at C5, C7, C3′, and C4′ of the flavone backbone with hydrogen, hydroxyl, and methoxy functionalities by chemical synthesis, to perform SAR analysis of velutin structural analogues. The SAR study revealed that the substitution of functional groups at C5, C7, C3′, and C4′ of the flavone backbone affects biological activities related to melanin synthesis. The coexistence of hydroxyl and methoxy at the C5 and C7 position is essential for inhibiting tyrosinase activity. However, 1,2‐diol compounds substituted at C3′ and C4′ of flavone backbone induce apoptosis of melanoma cells. Further, substitution at C3′ and C4′ with methoxy or hydrogen is essential for inhibiting melanogenesis. Thus, this study would be helpful for the development of natural‐derived functional materials to regulate melanin synthesis.

- Ferulin C triggers potent PAK1 and p21-mediated anti-tumor effects in breast cancer by inhibiting Tubulin polymerization in vitro and in vivo
-
Ferulin C, a natural sesquiterpene coumarin, isolated from the roots of Ferula ferulaeoides (Steud.) Korov, displaying potent antiproliferatory activity against breast cancer cells. This study aimed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of Ferulin C-induced breast cancer cells death in vitro and in vivo. Ferulin C presented potent antiproliferatory activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells and remarkable tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity (IC50 = 9.2 μM). Meanwhile, we predicted Ferulin C bind to the Colchicine site of tubulin through CETSA assay, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In immunofluorescence assay, Ferulin C disturbed the microtubule integrity and structure. Furthermore, Ferulin C stimulated significant cell cycle arrest in the G1/S period via p21Cip1/Waf1 - CDK2 signaling, induced classic cell apoptosis, impaired metastasis via down-regulating Ras-Raf-ERK and AKT-mTOR signaling. Intriguingly, Ferulin C treatment induced autophagy by ULK1 signaling to synergize with the inhibition of proliferation and metastasis. Based upon the RNAseq analysis, PAK1, as a novel essential modulator, was involved in the signaling regulated by Ferulin C -induced α/β-tubulin depolymerization. Additionally, Ferulin C displayed an acceptable antiproliferatory activity in an MCF-7 xenograft model without inducing obvious weight loss in the Ferulin C treated mice. Summarily, our findings substantiated that Ferulin C was a potent, colchicine site binding microtubule-destabilizing agent with anti-proliferation and anti-metastasis activity via PAK1 and p21-mediated signaling in breast cancer cells.

- Unraveling the anti-influenza effect of flavonoids: Experimental validation of luteolin and its congeners as potent influenza endonuclease inhibitors
-
The biological effects of flavonoids on mammal cells are diverse, ranging from scavenging free radicals and anti-cancer activity to anti-influenza activity. Despite appreciable effort to understand the anti-influenza activity of flavonoids, there is no clear consensus about their precise mode-of-action at a cellular level. Here, we report the development and validation of a screening assay based on AlphaScreen technology and illustrate its application for determination of the inhibitory potency of a large set of polyols against PA N-terminal domain (PA-Nter) of influenza RNA-dependent RNA polymerase featuring endonuclease activity. The most potent inhibitors we identified were luteolin with an IC50 of 72 ± 2 nM and its 8-C-glucoside orientin with an IC50 of 43 ± 2 nM. Submicromolar inhibitors were also evaluated by an in vitro endonuclease activity assay using single-stranded DNA, and the results were in full agreement with data from the competitive AlphaScreen assay. Using X-ray crystallography, we analyzed structures of the PA-Nter in complex with luteolin at 2.0 ? resolution and quambalarine B at 2.5 ? resolution, which clearly revealed the binding pose of these polyols coordinated to two manganese ions in the endonuclease active site. Using two distinct assays along with the structural work, we have presumably identified and characterized the molecular mode-of-action of flavonoids in influenza-infected cells.

- Anchimerically Assisted Selective Cleavage of Acid-Labile Aryl Alkyl Ethers by Aluminum Triiodide and N, N-Dimethylformamide Dimethyl Acetal
-
Aluminum triiodide is harnessed by N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) for the selective cleavage of ethers via neighboring group participation. Various acid-labile functional groups, including carboxylate, allyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS), and tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), suffer the conditions intact. The method offers an efficient approach to cleaving catechol monoalkyl ethers and to uncovering phenols from acetal-type protecting groups such as methoxymethyl (MOM), methoxyethoxymethyl (MEM), and tetrahydropyranyl (THP) chemoselectively.

- Design, synthesis and QSAR study of 2′-hydroxy-4′-alkoxy chalcone derivatives that exert cytotoxic activity by the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway
-
Eleven 4′-alkoxy chalcones were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against four human tumor cell lines (PC-3, MCF-7, HF-6, and CaSki). Compounds 3a-3d and 3f were selective against PC-3, with IC50 values ranging from 8.08 to 13.75 μM. In addition, chalcones 3a-3c did not affect the normal fibroblasts BJ cells. The most active and selective compounds were further evaluated for their effect on the progression of cell cycle in PC-3 cells, and chalcones 3a and 3c induced a G2/M phase arrest. Furthermore, it was found that these three chalcones induced the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by regulating Bax and Bcl-2 transcripts and by increasing caspase 3/7 activation. Otherwise, the QSAR model indicates that the double bond of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl, as well as the planar structure geometry, are important to the biological activity of the synthetized chalcones. Based on these studies, it was concluded that withdrawing substituents in ring A, decrease the antiproliferative activity. This is related to the possible mechanism of action of these compounds, where a Michael addition needs to take place in order to be a potent anticancer agent.

- A molybdenum based metallomicellar catalyst for controlled and chemoselective oxidation of activated alcohols in aqueous medium
-
A surfactant based oxodiperoxo molybdenum complex, which could activate molecular oxygen, has been employed as a catalyst for controlled oxidation of benzylic alcohols to corresponding carbonyls. The oxidation reactions were carried out under aqueous environment, however, in the absence of any extraneous base or co-catalyst. Sensitive/oxidizable functional groups like cyano, sulfide, hydroxyl, aryl-hydroxyl, alkene (internal/terminal), alkyne (internal/terminal), and acetal were tolerated during the transformations. Such selectivity is attributed to the mild nature of the catalyst. The methodology could also be scaled-up for multi-gram synthesis and the protocol is likely to find practical use since it requires an inexpensive recyclable-catalyst and easily available oxidant (under green conditions). A plausible mechanism is proposed with the help of preliminary computational study.

- Directed Hydroxylation of sp2 and sp3 C-H Bonds Using Stoichiometric Amounts of Cu and H2O2
-
The use of copper for C-H bond functionalization, compared to other metals, is relatively unexplored. Herein, we report a synthetic protocol for the regioselective hydroxylation of sp2 and sp3 C-H bonds using a directing group, stoichiometric amounts of Cu and H2O2. A wide array of aromatic ketones and aldehydes are oxidized in the carbonyl γ-position with remarkable yields. We also expanded this methodology to hydroxylate the β-position of alkylic ketones. Spectroscopic characterization, kinetics, and density functional theory calculations point toward the involvement of a mononuclear LCuII(OOH) species, which oxidizes the aromatic sp2 C-H bonds via a concerted heterolytic O-O bond cleavage with concomitant electrophilic attack on the arene system.

- One-pot two-step synthesis of 3-iodo-4-aryloxy coumarins and their Pd/C-catalyzed annulation to coumestans
-
An efficient protocol for the synthesis of various coumestans from the intramolecular annulation of 3-iodo-4-aryloxy coumarins through C-H activation has been developed. When 3-iodo-4-aryloxy coumarins were treated with 10% Pd/C (0.3 mol% Pd) in the presence of sodium acetate, the corresponding coumestans were produced in good to excellent yield. Reusability of the palladium catalyst was investigated in up to three consecutive cycles and it was found that the yield of the reaction was almost unaltered. Sequential iodination and O-arylation of 4-hydroxy coumarins leading to the 3-iodo-4-aryloxy coumarins were also achieved in a one-pot two-step process starting from aryl iodides in high yield. Pivalic acid was revealed to be the most effective additive for the later method to produce 3-iodo-4-phenoxy coumarins. Different functional groups bearing electron-donating as well as withdrawing groups are also tolerant to the reaction conditions.

A novel series of 6-hydroxy-4-methoxy-3-methylbenzofuran-7-carboxamide derivatives featured with various C-2 substituents were designed and synthesized as Mnks inhibitors through fragment-based drug design. Among them, 5b, 5i, 5o and 8k showed the best Mnk2 inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 1.45, 1.16, 3.55 and 0.27 μM, respectively. And these compounds inhibited the activity of Mnk1 at the same time. Furthermore, compounds 5o and 8k exhibited anti-proliferative effects to human leukemia cancer THP-1 and MOLM-13 cell lines and colon cancer HCT-116 cell line. Moreover, Western blot assay suggested that 8k could decrease the levels of p-eIF4E in a dose-dependent manner in HCT-116 cells. Docking studies demonstrated strong interactions between 8k and Mnk2. Therefore, this unique benzofuran scaffold demonstrated great potential to be further explored as potent Mnks inhibitors with improved potency.

A strategy toward the biomimetic synthesis of morusalbanol A pentamethyl ether is described. The synthesis is based on a hydrogen-bond-assisted Diels-Alder cycloaddition between a dehydroprenyl diene and a chalcone dienophile. Selective cleavage of the ortho-methyl ether of the resulting cycloadduct allows rotation of the C3-C21 bond and subsequent intramolecular cyclization affords the pentamethyl ether of (±)-morusalbanol A. As with the natural product, morusalbanol A, a number of key proton and carbon signals are absent in the NMR spectra of the title product.

A series of novel fused coumarin analogues pyrano[3,2-c]chromene-2,5-diones have been synthesized through an optimized microwave-assisted protocol. All target compounds were tested and evaluated for their antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum copsica, Alternaria solani, Gibberella zeae and Rhizoctorzia solani. The bioassay results indicated that some of the compounds exhibited potent antifungal activities at concentration less than 50 ppm. For the compounds 5d, 6c and 7b, EC50 values against B. cinerea were as low as 0.141, 0.082 and 0.091 μM, respectively, which represents better antifungal activity than that of the commonly used fungicide Azoxystrobin. Compounds 5d (57%) and 6c (55%) also exhibited more effective control than Azoxystrobin (44%) against Colletotrichum capsica.

Their in vitro antifungal activities were evaluated against five phytopathogenic fungi including Glomerella cingulate, Botrytis cirerea, Fusarium graminearum, Curvularia lunata and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum by the mycelial growth inhibition assay. Compounds 2g and 2h exhibited broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against the mycelial growth of the tested pathogens with IC50 values in the range of 16-36 g/mL, and in particular being more active to G. cingulate, with IC50 values of 16.50 and 19.25 g/mL, respectively, than the other pathogens. Preliminary SAR indicated that an α,β-unsaturated ketone unit of the alkyl chain of the compounds is the structure requirement for fungicidal action. The results suggested that 2g and 2h may be promising leads in the development of new antifungal agents.

-
Chromones and xanthones are oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds acknowledged by their antioxidant properties. In an effort to develop novel agents with improved activity, a series of compounds belonging to these chemical classes were prepared. Their syntheses involve the condensation of appropriate 2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-ones, obtained via Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement, with (E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylaldehyde to provide the corresponding 2-[(1E,3E)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)buta-1,3-dien-1-yl]-4H-chromen-4-ones. Subsequent electrocyclization and oxidation of these compounds led to the synthesis of 1-aryl-9H-xanthen-9-ones. After cleavage of the protecting groups, hydroxylated chromones and xanthones were assessed as scavenging agents against both reactive oxygen species (ROS) [superoxide radical (O2?-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hypochlorous acid (HOCl), singlet oxygen (1O2), and peroxyl radical (ROO?)] and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) [nitric oxide (?NO) and peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-)]. Generally, all the tested new hydroxylated chromones and xanthones exhibited scavenger effects dependent on the concentration, with IC50 values found in the micromolar range. Some of them were shown to have improved scavenging activity when compared with previously reported analogues, allowing the inference of preliminary conclusions on the structure-activity relationship.

- Origin of Spectral Features and Acid-Base Properties of 3,7-Dihydroxyflavone and Its Monofunctional Derivatives in the Ground and Excited States
-
Comprehensive spectral investigations of 3,7-dihydroxyflavone and its two derivatives, which each contain a methyl-blocked hydroxyl group, reveal complex radiation absorption in the 300-450 nm range and emission in the 370-650 nm range. The absorption and fluorescence characteristics of these compounds depend on the pH/H0 of the water/methanol media, which is caused by the existence of the compounds in various protolytic (cationic, neutral, anionic) and tautomeric forms. Combined analysis of steady-state, time-dependent and fluorescence decay spectral data enabled the identification of the emitting species, determination of their lifetimes with respect to radiative and nonradiative deactivation processes, fluorescence quantum yields, protolytic and tautomeric abilities under various conditions, and acidic dissociation constants of the cationic, neutral, and anionic forms of the compounds. Results of calculations carried out at the DFT and TD DFT levels of theory generally confirmed the experimental findings concerning tautomeric/protolytic transformations and equilibria. Computational methods also provided insight into possible tautomerization pathways. Electronically excited molecules are generally much more susceptible to tautomerization and acidic dissociation than ground-state ones. 3,7-Dihydroxyflavone exhibits distinguishable features among the compounds investigated and can be considered as potential spectral indicator of properties (polarity, hydrophobicity, hydrogen-bonding ability) and acidity/basicity of liquid environments.

- Activities of Wogonin Analogs and Other Flavones against Flavobacterium columnare
-
In our on-going pursuit to discover natural products and natural product-based compounds to control the bacterial species Flavobacterium columnare, which causes columnaris disease in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), we synthesized flavone and chalcone analogs, and evaluated these compounds, along with flavonoids from natural sources, for their antibacterial activities against two isolates of F. columnare (ALM-00-173 and BioMed) using a rapid bioassay. The flavonoids chrysin (1a), 5,7-dihydroxy-4′-methoxyflavone (11), isorhamnetin (26), luteolin (27), and biochanin A (29), and chalcone derivative 8b showed strong antibacterial activities against F. columnare ALM-00-173 based on minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) results. Flavonoids 1a, 8, 11, 13 (5,4′-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone), 26, and 29 exhibited strong antibacterial activities against F. columnare BioMed based upon MIC results. The 24-h 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) results revealed that 27 and 29 were the most active compounds against F. columnare ALM-00-173 (IC50 of 7.5 and 8.5 mg/l, resp.), while 26 and 29 were the most toxic compound against F. columnare BioMed (IC50 of 9.2 and 3.5 mg/l, resp.). These IC50 results were lower than those obtained for wogonin against F. columnare ALM-00-173 and F. columnare BioMed (28.4 and 5.4 mg/l, resp.). However, based on MIC results, none of the compounds evaluated in this study were as active as wogonin (MIC 0.3 mg/l for each F. columnare isolate). Further modification of the wogonin structure to enhance antibacterial is of interest.

- Single and double intramolecular proton transfers in the electronically excited state of flavone derivatives
-
In an attempt to create a flavone derivative able to take part in Excited State Intramolecular Double Proton Transfer (ESIDPT), we synthesized two carbonyl derivatives of 3,7-dihydroxyflavone, both containing two different proton-transfer sites as well as related carbonyl derivatives of 3-hydroxyflavone and 7-hydroxyflavone. All the examined hydroxyflavones were found to participate in the Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT). ESIPT which involves 3-hydroxyl and 4-carbonyl groups was found to have a higher barrier compared to ESIPT involving 7-hydroxyl and 6/8-carbonyl fragments. According to the data presented, 3,7-dihydroxy-2-phenyl-6-(3-phenylpropanoyl)-4H-chromen-4-one undergoes a two-stage ESIDPT with formation of an intermediate tautomer. This kind of ESIDPT leads to a tautomeric form with an abnormally low rate of radiative deactivation of the excited state, which conditions low fluorescence quantum yield. The behavior of 3,7-dihydroxy-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromene-8-carbaldehyde in the electronically excited state is similar to 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives, thus we conclude the occurrence of a single ESIPT in this compound.

- Steroid Sulfatase Inhibitors Based on Phosphate and Thiophosphate Flavone Analogs
-
Preclinical Research A series of phosphate and thiophosphate flavone derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated in vitro for inhibition of steroid sulfatase (STS) activity. The described synthesis includes the straightforward preparation of 7-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one 3a, 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-7-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one 3b, 7-hydroxy-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one 3c, 7-hydroxy-2-(p-tolyl)-4H-chromen-4-one 3d modified with different phosphate or thiophosphate moieties. The inhibitory properties of the synthesized compounds were tested against human placenta STS. Some of the novel STS inhibitors had good activities against STS. In particular, the bis-(4-oxo-2-(p-tolyl)-4H-chromen-7-yl) hydrogenthiophosphate, 6i had the most potent inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 3.25 μM as compared to an IC50 value of 8.50 μM for the 2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-chromen-4-one-7-O-sulfamate used as a reference.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of benzo[b]furans as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and inducers of apoptosis
-
A series of benzo[b]furans was synthesized with modification at the 5-position of the benzene ring by introducing C-linked substituents (aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, etc.). These compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activities, inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and cell-cycle effects. Some compounds in this series displayed excellent activity in the nanomolar range against lung cancer (A549) and renal cell carcinoma (ACHN) cancer cell lines. (6-Methoxy-5-((4-methoxyphenyl)ethynyl)-3- methylbenzofuran-2-yl)(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methanone (26) and (E)-3-(6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-(1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)vinyl)benzofuran-5-yl) prop-2-en-1-ol (36) showed significant activity in the A549 cell line, with IC50 values of 0.08 and 0.06 μM, respectively. G2/M cell-cycle arrest and subsequent apoptosis was observed in the A549 cell line after treatment with these compounds. The most active compound in this series, 36, also inhibited tubulin polymerization with a value similar to that of combretastatin A-4 (1.95 and 1.86 μM, respectively). Furthermore, detailed biological studies such as Hoechst 33258 staining, DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 assays, and western blot analyses with the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 also suggested that these compounds induce cell death by apoptosis. Molecular docking studies indicated that compound 36 interacts and binds efficiently with the tubulin protein. Antiproliferation additions: A series of benzo[b]furans with C-linked substituents was synthesized and evaluated for anticancer potential against five human cancer cell lines. Some of the compounds (representative shown) displayed good antiproliferative activity in the nanomolar range against the A549 cell line by inhibition of tubulin polymerization (ITP). Copyright

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)coumarin derivatives as potential antitumor agents
-
In this research, a series of 4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)coumarin conjugates were synthesized and their anticancer activities were evaluated in vitro against three human cancer cell lines, including human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cell, colon carcinoma SW480 cell and lung carcinoma A549 cell. To increase the biological potency, structural optimization campaign was conducted focusing on the C-4 position of 1,2,3-triazole and the C-6, C-7 positions of coumarin. In addition, to further evaluate the role of 1,2,3-triazole and coumarin for antiproliferative activity, 9 compounds possessing 4-(piperazin-1-yl)coumarin framework and 3 derivatives baring quinoline core were also synthesized. By MTT assay in vitro, most of the compounds display attractive antitumor activities, especially 23. Further flow cytometry assays demonstrate that compound 23 exerts the antiproliferative role through arresting G2/M cell-cycle and inducing apoptosis.

- Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation cascade with dihydropyrans: Regioselective synthesis of furo[3,2- c ]pyrans
-
A regioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation cascade forms furo[3,2-c]pyrans from various cyclic β-dicarbonyl bis-nucleophiles and 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran bis-electrophiles. The combination of allylic carbonate and anomeric siloxy leaving groups in the dihydropyran substrate allows control of the many regiochemical possibilities in this reaction. Annulation proceeds stereoconvergently to give cis-fused furopyrans from either cis- or trans-substituted starting material.

- Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of carboxycoumarins as a new antitumor treatment targeting lactate transport in cancer cells
-
Under hypoxia, cancer cells consume glucose and release lactate at a high rate. Lactate was recently documented to be recaptured by oxygenated cancer cells to fuel the TCA cycle and thereby to support tumor growth. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) are the main lactate carriers and therefore represent potential therapeutic targets to limit cancer progression. In this study, we have developed and implemented a stepwise in vitro screening procedure on human cancer cells to identify new potent MCT inhibitors. Various 7-substituted carboxycoumarins and quinolinone derivatives were synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated. Most active compounds were obtained using a palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig type coupling reaction, which proved to be a quick and efficient method to obtain aminocarboxycoumarin derivatives. Inhibition of lactate flux revealed that the most active compound 19 (IC 50 11 nM) was three log orders more active than the CHC reference compound. Comparison with warfarin, a conventional anticoagulant coumarin, further showed that compound 19 did not influence the prothrombin time which, together with a good in vitro ADME profile, supports the potential of this new family of compounds to act as anticancer drugs through inhibition of lactate flux.

- Pd-catalyzed sp2 C-H hydroxylation with TFA/TFAA via weak coordinations
-
An efficient sp2 C-H hydroxylation has been developed for the synthesis of a wide range of functionalized phenols with aryl ketones, benzoates, benzamides, acetanilides and sulfonamides through palladium(II) catalysis. A trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) co-solvent system serves as the oxygen source and is the critical factor for weak coordination promoted C-H activation.

- Arylalkyl ketones, benzophenones, desoxybenzoins and chalcones inhibit TNF-α induced expression of ICAM-1: Structure-activity analysis
-
The interaction between leukocytes and the vascular endothelial cells (EC) via cellular adhesion molecules plays an important role in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Small molecules that block these interactions have been targeted as potential therapeutic agents against acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. In an effort to identify potent intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) inhibitors, a large number of arylalkyl ketones, benzophenones, desoxybenzoins and chalcones and their analogs (54 in total) have been synthesized and screened for their ICAM-1 inhibitory activity. The structure-activity relationship studies of these compounds identified three potent chalcone derivatives and also demonstrated the possible mechanism for their ICAM-1 inhibitory activities. The most active compound was found to be 79.

- Synthesis of ortho-acylphenols through the palladium-catalyzed ketone-directed hydroxylation of arenes
-
ortho-Acylphenols are an important structural motif found in a diversity of bioactive molecules ranging from natural products to drugs (Figure 1). Moreover, they also serve as versatile building blocks for the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, such as warfarin, as well as agrichemicals, flavors, and fragrances. Classic approaches to the synthesis of o-acylphenols generally involve a two-step process: acylation of phenols followed by Fries rearrangement of the resulting phenyl esters (Scheme 1a). On the other hand, direct C-acylation of phenols has also been known under more forcing conditions. Although effective, these approaches are often complicated by the formation of undesired p-substituted products when bulky acyl groups need to be introduced, as well as the limited variety of ketones that can be generated.

- Pd-catalyzed C-H oxygenation with TFA/TFAA: Expedient access to oxygen-containing heterocycles and late-stage drug modification
-
Functionalized phenols are valuable industrial chemicals related to pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymers. Therefore, the direct catalytic hydroxylation of arenes to produce phenols has attracted much attention. Although tremendous progress has been made in this field, there are still difficult substrates which remain unmet challenges for direct hydroxylation in terms of regio- and chemoselectivity, as well as the practicality of current methods (Scheme 1). For example, 2-hydroxy aromatic ketones are useful synthetic intermediates for the preparation of various oxygen-containing heterocycles such as benzofuranone, chromanone, benzoxazole, and dibenzooxazepine; they also serve as key building blocks for drugs such as celiprolol, acebutolol, and propafenone. Traditional strategies for accessing 2-hydroxy aromatic ketones have mainly involved the oxidation of benzylic alcohols, the hydrolysis of aromatic halides, Fries rearrangement of esters or the demethylation of methyl phenyl ether. These methods generally suffer from one limitation or another, such as tedious reaction procedures, harsh reaction conditions, low yields, or the formation of side products. Hence, direct transformation of readily available aromatic ketones into valuable 2-hydroxylated products by transition metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization is arguably a highly efficient and atom-economic method to access these compounds. Moreover, developing a more general strategy for the regio- and chemoselective C-H oxygenation of a variety of challenging arenes would be especially desirable for phenol synthesis (Scheme 1).

- Biomimetic type approach to the tricyclic core of xyloketals. Application to a short, stereocontrolled synthesis of alboatrin and first synthesis of xyloketal G
-
A convenient approach to the linear tetrahydrofurano benzopyran ring system of xyloketals is described. An orthoester Claisen rearrangement of a chromenol and an intra-molecular cationic cyclization are the key steps in the synthesis. A short, stereocontrolled and high yield synthesis of the phytotoxic metabolite alboatrin was achieved employing this strategy. A unique case of Lewis acid catalyzed isomerization of epi-alboatrin to alboatrin was observed. Subsequently this methodology was extended for the first total synthesis of xyloketal G, where a one pot reaction of three steps viz., acetylation, isomerization and demethylation occurred during acetylation of a mixture of nor-o-methyl xyloketal G and nor-o-methyl epi xyloketal G in presence of AlCl3 to furnish xyloketal G in very good overall yield.

- 3,5,2′,4′-Tetrahydroxychalcone, a new non-purine xanthine oxidase inhibitor
-
Xanthine oxidase is a key enzyme that catalyses hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid and the overproduction of uric acid will lead to hyperuricemia which is an important cause of gout. In the present study, three chalcone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against xanthine oxidase in vitro. Of the compounds, only Compound 1, 3,5,2′,4′-tetrahydroxychalcone, exhibited a significant inhibitory activity on xanthine oxidase with an IC50 value of 22.5 μM. Lineweaver-Burk transformation of the inhibition kinetics data demonstrated that it was a competitive inhibitor of xanthine oxidase and Ki value was 17.4 μM. In vivo, intragastric administration of Compound 1 was able to significantly reduce serum uric acid levels and inhibited hepatic xanthine oxidase activities of hyperuricemic mice in a dose-dependent manner. Acute toxicity study in mice showed that Compound 1 was very safe at a dose of up to 5 g/kg. These results suggest that Compound 1 is a novel competitive xanthine oxidase inhibitor and is worthy of further development.

A series of copper(II) and zinc complexes of 2-hydroxyacetophenone semicarbazones have been prepared and evaluated as superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetics. The SOD-like activity of parent ligands and complexes were determined by the inhibition of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction method, using xanthine/xanthine oxidase as the superoxide radical generator. The obtained results indicate that Cu(II) complexes exhibited the most potent SOD-like activities with the IC50 values ranging from ca. 0.2 to 4 μM. Among copper complexes, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone semicarbazone analog was the most active compounds (IC50 ≈0.2 μM).

- Glucose uptake enhancing activity of puerarin and the role of C-glucoside suggested from activity of related compounds
-
Chemical treatment of diabetes mellitus is widely studied and controlling of blood glucose level is the main course of therapy. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance is the major problem. An isoflavone C-glucoside, puerarin (1), is known to enhance glucose uptake into the insulin sensitive cell and is thought to be a candidate for treatment of diabetes mellitus. We synthesized 1 and several derivatives to apply for the structure-activity relationship study. The result against 3T3-L1 adipocyte indicated that the C-glucoside part of 1 is unconcerned in its activity when tested in vitro and the main structure responsible for its activity was the isoflavone moiety.
