Magnetic Diversity in Heteroisocorroles: Aromatic Pathways in 10-Heteroatom-Substituted Isocorroles.

ABSTRACT: A recent study on magnetically induced currents in 10-isocorrole derivatives indicated that both the free-base and metal-complexed forms of the unsubstituted macrocycle are homoaromatic. Furthermore, depending on the substituents at the 10-position, the aromatic character was found to swing between substantially homoaromatic to substantially antihomoaromatic. Heteroisocorroles, in which the saturated 10-position has been replaced by a heteroatom-containing group X, are predicted to exhibit even more dramatic variations in aromatic character, ranging from strongly aromatic (X = O, NH, PH, and S) to strongly antiaromatic (X = BH and CO). Interestingly, the experimentally studied X = SiMe2 case does not appear to sustain a significant global ring current.

Cyclic Alkyne Approach to Heteroatom-Containing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Scaffolds.

Project description:We report a modular synthetic strategy for accessing heteroatom-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Our approach relies on the controlled generation of transient heterocyclic alkynes and arynes. The strained intermediates undergo in situ trapping with readily accessible oxadiazinones. Four sequential pericyclic reactions occur, namely two Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder sequences, which can be performed in a stepwise or one-pot fashion to assemble four new carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds. These studies underscore how the use of heterocyclic strained intermediates can be harnessed for the preparation of new organic materials.

One-pot synthesis of meso-alkyl substituted isocorroles: the reaction of a triarylcorrole with Grignard reagent.

Project description:The reaction of 5,10,15-tritolylcorrole with EtMgBr opens the way for novel functionalizations of the corrole ring. DDQ oxidation of the macrocycle, followed by addition of the Grignard reagent, led to the formation of 5- and 10-alkyl substituted isocorroles in satisfying yields. Together with the one-pot formation of these isocorrole isomers, the use of such a nucleophile evidenced the competitive reactivity of the macrocycle ?-positions, leading to the formation of 2-bromo- and 3-bromo-5,10,15-tritolylcorrole. While the formation of these monobromocorrole derivatives is not unprecedented, this is the first time the isomers have been separated and fully characterized. Furthermore, the higher yields of the 2-substituted species highlight a useful regioselectivity for the substitution reaction.

Synthesis of High Oxidation State Molybdenum Imido Heteroatom-Substituted Alkylidene Complexes.

Project description:Reactions between Mo(NAr)(CHR)(Me2Pyr)-(OTPP) (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3, R = H or CHCMe2Ph, Me2Pyr = 2,5-dimethylpyrrolide, OTPP = O-2,3,5,6-Ph4C6H) and CH2=CHX where X = B(pin), SiMe3, N-carbazolyl, N-pyrrolidinonyl, PPh2, OPr, or SPh lead to Mo(NAr)(CHX)-(Me2Pyr)(OTPP) complexes in good yield. All have been characterized through X-ray studies (as an acetonitrile adduct in the case of X = PPh2). The efficiencies of metathesis reactions initiated by Mo(NAr)(CHX)(Me2Pyr)(OTPP) complexes can be rationalized on the basis of steric factors; electronic differences imposed as a consequence of X being bound to the alkylidene carbon do not seem to play a major role. Side reactions that promote catalyst decomposition do not appear to be a serious limitation for Mo=CHX species.

Diversity of Gut Microbiota Metabolic Pathways in 10 Pairs of Chinese Infant Twins.

Project description:Early colonization of gut microbiota in human gut is a complex process. It remains unclear when gut microbiota colonization occurs and how it proceeds. In order to study gut microbiota composition in human early life, the present study recruited 10 healthy pairs of twins, including five monozygotic (MZ) and five dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs, whose age ranged from 0 to 6 years old. 20 fecal samples from these twins were processed by shotgun metagenomic sequencing, and their averaged data outputs were generated as 2G per sample. We used MEGAN5 to perform taxonomic and functional annotation of the metagenomic data, and systematically analyzed those 20 samples, including Jaccard index similarity, principle component, clustering, and correlation analyses. Our findings indicated that within our study group: 1) MZ-twins share more microbes than DZ twins or non-twin pairs, 2) gut microbiota distribution is relatively stable at metabolic pathways level, 3) age represents the strongest factor that can account for variation in gut microbiota, and 4) a clear metabolic pathway shift can be observed, which speculatively occurs around the age of 1 year old. This research will serve as a base for future studies of gut microbiota-related disease research.

Skeletal diversification via heteroatom linkage control: preparation of bicyclic and spirocyclic scaffolds from N-substituted homopropargyl alcohols.

Project description:The discovery and application of a new branching pathway synthesis strategy that rapidly produces skeletally diverse scaffolds is described. Two different scaffold types, one a bicyclic iodo-vinylidene tertiary amine/tertiary alcohol and the other, a spirocyclic 3-furanone, are each obtained using a two-step sequence featuring a common first step. Both scaffold types lead to intermediates that can be orthogonally diversified using the same final components. One of the scaffold types was obtained in sufficiently high yield that it was immediately used to produce a 97-compound library.

Customising excitation properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by rational positional heteroatom doping: the <i>peri</i>-xanthenoxanthene (PXX) case.

Project description:In this paper we tackle the challenge of gaining control of the photophysical properties of PAHs through a site-specific N-doping within the structural aromatic framework. By developing a simple predictive tool that identifies C(sp2)-positions that if substituted with a heteroatom would tailor the changes in the absorption and emission spectral envelopes, we predict optimal substitutional patterns for the model peri-xanthenoxanthene (PXX) PAH. Specifically, TDDFT calculations of the electron density difference between the S1 excited state and S0 ground state of PXX allowed us to identify the subtleties in the role of sites i.e., electron donating or withdrawing character on excitation. The replacement of two C(sp2)-atoms with two N-atoms, in either electron donating or withdrawing positions, shifts the electronic transitions either to low or high energy, respectively. This consequently shifts the PXX absorption spectral envelop bathochromically or hypsochromically, as demonstrated by steady-state absorption spectroscopic measurements. Within the series of synthesised N-doped PXX, we tune the optical band gap within an interval of ∼0.4 eV, in full agreement with the theoretical predictions. Relatedly, measurements show the more blueshifted the absorption/emission energies, the greater the fluorescence quantum yield value (from ∼45% to ∼75%). On the other hand, electrochemical investigations suggested that the N-pattern has a limited influence on the redox properties. Lastly, depending on the N-pattern, different supramolecular organisations could be obtained at the solid-state, with the 1,7-pattern PXX molecule forming multi-layered, graphene-like, supramolecular sheets through a combination of weak H-bonding and π-π stacking interactions. Supramolecular striped patterned sheets could also be formed with the 3,9- and 4,10-congeners when co-crystallized with a halogen-bond donor molecule.

Synthesis and characterization of free-base, copper, and nickel isocorroles.

Project description:A series of free-base and metalated isocorroles represented as (TT-n-iso-Cor)H(2) and (TT-n-iso-Cor)M(II), where n = 5 or 10 and M = Ni or Cu, were synthesized and characterized by electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry in CH(2)Cl(2) containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate. The metalation of the free-base macrocycles with Co(II), Mn(III), or Zn(II) was also attempted but was unsuccessful. Six isocorroles were isolated and shown to undergo two stepwise oxidations to give pi-cation radicals and dications in CH(2)Cl(2), with the most stable products being obtained in the case of the 10-substituted derivatives. The same isocorroles could also be reduced by one or two electrons, but the initial one-electron addition products are unstable and undergo a rapid chemical reaction giving a reduced corrole or corrole-like product, which could be reoxidized to the corresponding (TTCor)M at a controlled positive potential. This series of reactions effectively illustrates an isocorrole to corrole conversion upon reduction and reoxidation and was monitored by both electrochemistry and thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry.

?-Octabromo- and ?-Octakis(trifluoromethyl)isocorroles: New Sterically Constrained Macrocyclic Ligands.

Project description:Presented herein is a study of the acid-induced demetalation of two sterically hindered copper corroles, Cu ?-octabromo-meso-triphenylcorrole (Cu[Br8TPC]) and ?-octakis(trifluoromethyl)-meso-tris(p-methoxyphenyl)corrole (Cu[(CF3)8TpOMePC]). Unlike reductive demetalation, which affords the free-base ?-octabromocorrole, demetalation of Cu[Br8TPC] under non- reductive conditions (CHCl3/H2SO4) resulted in moderate yields of free-base 5- and 10-hydroxy isocorroles. The isomeric free bases could be complexed to CoII and NiII, affording stable complexes. Only reductive demetalation was found to work for Cu[(CF3)8TpOMePC], affording a highly saddled, hydrated corrole, H3[5-OH,10-H-(CF3)8TpOMePC], where the elements of water had added across C5 and C10. Interaction of this novel free base with CoII resulted in Co[iso-10-H-[CF3)8TpOMePC], a CoII 10-hydro isocorrole. The new metal complexes were all characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and, despite their sterically hindered nature, were found to exhibit almost perfectly planar isocorrole cores.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 10-substituted-7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) prodrugs.

Project description:In an attempt to improve the antitumor activity and reduce the side effects of irinotecan (2), novel prodrugs of SN-38 (3) were prepared by conjugating amino acids or dipeptides to the 10-hydroxyl group of SN-38 via a carbamate linkage. The synthesized compounds completely generated SN-38 in pH 7.4 buffer or in human plasma, while remaining stable under acidic conditions. All prodrug compounds demonstrated much greater in vitro antitumor activities against HeLa cells and SGC-7901 cells than irinotecan. The most active compounds, 5h, 7c, 7d, and 7f, exhibited IC50 values that were 1000 times lower against HeLa cells and 30 times lower against SGC-7901 cells than those of irinotecan, and the inhibitory activities of these prodrugs against acetylcholinesterase (AchE) were significantly reduced, with IC50 values more than 6.8 times greater than that of irinotecan. In addition, compound 5e exhibited the same level of tumor growth inhibitory activity as irinotecan (CPT-11) in a human colon xenograft model in vivo.

The effect of novel aromatic heterocycle substituted aminamidine derivatives on Necator americanus.

Project description:BackgroundThe efficacy of current drugs against hookworms at a single dose is highly variable across regions, age groups and infection intensity. Extensive and repeated use of these drugs also leads to potential drug resistance. Therefore, novel drugs are required for sustained disease control.ObjectivesNovel aromatic heterocycle substituted aminamidine derivatives (AADs) were synthesized based on tribendimine (TBD), and their in vivo potency against Necator americanus was tested.MethodsThe efficacy of the AADs was tested in male hamsters. Oral and IV pharmacokinetic parameters were determined in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The proteomic profiles of N. americanus samples treated with AADs were compared using tandem mass tag-based quantitative proteomic analyses.ResultsMost AADs exhibited better anthelmintic activity than TBD at a single oral dose. Compound 3c exhibited improved solubility (>50×), and the curative dose was as low as 25 mg/kg. Similar to TBD, 3c was rapidly metabolized after oral administration and transformed into p-(1-dimethylamino ethylimino)aniline (dADT), an active metabolite against intestinal nematodes. dADT from 3c had better pharmacokinetic profiles than that from TBD and achieved an oral bioavailability of 99.5%. Compound 3c possessed rapid anthelmintic activity, clearing all worms within 24 h after an oral dose of 50 mg/kg. Quantitative proteomic analysis indicated that it might be related to ATP metabolism and cuticle protein synthesis.ConclusionsCompound 3c is a novel and promising compound against N. americanus in vivo.
