The palladium incorporated amine-functionalized dendronized polymer was synthesized by the addition of palladium acetate to dendronized polymer in methanol at room temperature. Palladium species are immobilized onto the dendritic structure by their coordination with amino functional groups. The newly developed dendritic system showed high palladium content in the low generation level itself, which was found to be 4.19?mmol/g. This was fairly higher than, the other palladium-based catalysts. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–Visible spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to confirm the successful synthesis of the new catalyst. It was used as a homogeneous palladium catalyst for Heck coupling reaction between olefins and differently substituted aryl halides and the products were isolated in high yield. The products isolated were in trans configuration, which indicated the selectivity of the newly developed catalytic system. Also, this catalyst system was reused up to nine times without a significant decrease in its catalytic activity. The easy accessibility of catalytic sites, stability, resistance to metal leaching, high catalytic activity and remarkable stereoselectivity with a low amount of catalyst are all due to the dendritic support. The docking study was carried out for all the stilbene derivatives obtained by the Heck coupling reaction against DprE1 protein to study its potential antitubercular activity. All the compounds displayed superior docking score values over the range ??6.5 to ??8.2?kcal/mol, compared to the standard drug isoniazid with docking score of ??6.1?kcal/mol against DprE1.

Flavinium salts are frequently used in organocatalysis but their application in photoredox catalysis has not been systematically investigated to date. We synthesized a series of 5-ethyl-1,3-dimethylalloxazinium salts with different substituents in the positions 7 and 8 and investigated their application in light-dependent oxidative cycloelimination of cyclobutanes. Detailed mechanistic investigations with a coumarin dimer as a model substrate reveal that the reaction preferentially occurs via the triplet-born radical pair after electron transfer from the substrate to the triplet state of an alloxazinium salt. The very photostable 7,8-dimethoxy derivative is a superior catalyst with a sufficiently high oxidation power (E=2.26 V) allowing the conversion of various cyclobutanes (with Eox up to 2.05 V) in high yields. Even compounds such as all-trans dimethyl 3,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclobutane-1,2-dicarboxylate can be converted, whose opening requires a high activation energy due to a missing pre-activation caused by bulky adjacent substituents in cis-position.

Chemotherapeutic agents, which contain the Michael acceptor, are potent anticancer molecules by promoting intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In this study, we synthesized a panel of PL (piperlongumine) analogs with chlorine attaching at C2 and an electronwithdrawing/electron-donating group attaching to the aromatic ring. The results displayed that the strong electrophilicity group at the C2–C3 double bond of PL analogs plays an important role in the cytotoxicity whereas the electric effect of substituents, which attached to the aromatic ring, partly contributed to the anticancer activity. Moreover, the protein containing sulfydryl or seleno, such as TrxR, could be irreversibly inhibited by the C2–C3 double bond of PL analogs, and boost intracellular ROS generation. Then, the ROS accumulation could disrupt the redox balance, induce lipid peroxidation, lead to the loss of MMP (Mitochondrial Membrane Potential), and ultimately result in cell cycle arrest and A549 cell line death. In conclusion, PL analogs could induce in vitro cancer apoptosis through the inhibition of TrxR and ROS accumulation.
