A practical synthesis of amino limonin/deoxylimonin derivatives as effective mitigators against inflammation and nociception.

ABSTRACT: A practical synthetic route, consisting of 5 steps, has been developed and applied successfully for converting limonin/deoxylimonin into the corresponding amino derivatives I- 5a-I- 5e and II- 5a-II- 5e. Deoxylimonin analogs II- 5a and II- 5b bearing an open A ring structure underwent ring closure reaction by employing the Mitsunobu procedure to afford II- 6a and II- 6b. All of the 12 newly synthesized compounds were subjected to preliminary screening for evaluating their inflammation and nociception inhibition efficacy. The most promising compounds, I- 5b and II- 5d, were selected for further investigation by a carrageenan-induced mouse paw edema model, both of which displayed a dose-response dependent manner and demonstrated superior anti inflammation capacity to that of indomethacin in the first 2 hours.

Derivatives of DANPY (Dialkylaminonaphthylpyridinium), a DNA-Binding Fluorophore: Practical Synthesis of Tricyclic 2-Amino-6-bromonaphthalenes by Bucherer Reaction.

Project description:A simple and convergent way to synthesize 2-amino-6-bromonaphthalenes involves condensation of free secondary amines with the corresponding 2-naphthol under Bucherer conditions. The amination protocol relies on common Teflon-capped pressure flasks and has been used to modify the tertiary aminonaphthalene core of DANPY, a biocompatible chromophore shown to be safe and effective for staining a variety of cellular targets. Following a Suzuki reaction with pyridine 4-boronic acid, additional diversity is introduced upon N-alkylation to install the pyridinium cation. New DANPY derivatives and intermediates reported herein reflect the modularity of the dye nucleus, including the addition of groups useful for applications in membrane staining and DNA-based biophotonics.

A practical and scalable system for heteroaryl amino acid synthesis.

Project description:A robust system for the preparation of ?-heteroaryl ?-amino acid derivatives has been developed using photoredox catalysis. This system operates via regiospecific activation of halogenated pyridines (or other heterocycles) and conjugate addition to dehydroalanine derivatives to deliver a wide range of unnatural amino acids. This process was conducted with good efficiency on large scale, the application of these conditions to amino ketone synthesis is shown, and a simple protocol is given for the preparation of enantioenriched amino acid synthesis, from a number of radical precursors.

Practical asymmetric synthesis of ?-hydroxy ?-amino acids via complimentary aldol reactions.

Project description:Orthogonally protected chiral ?-hydroxy-?-amino acids can be accessed in >100 g quantities from readily available starting materials and reagents in 3-4 steps. These chiral synthons contain two adjacent stereocenters along with suitably protected functional groups (O-TBS, N-Boc) for downstream reactivity. Implementation of two existing aldol technologies allows rapid access to all possible stereoisomers of 1. The guiding principles during reaction optimization were reaction scalability and operational efficiency. Conversion of the amino acids to a variety of chiral building blocks in 1-2 steps demonstrates their synthetic utility.

Metal-free oxidative cross-coupling enabled practical synthesis of atropisomeric QUINOL and its derivatives.

Project description:As an important platform molecule, atropisomeric QUINOL plays a crucial role in the development of chiral ligands and catalysts in asymmetric catalysis. However, efficient approaches towards QUINOL remain scarce, and the resulting high production costs greatly impede the related academic research as well as downstream industrial applications. Here we report a direct oxidative cross-coupling reaction between isoquinolines and 2-naphthols, providing a straightforward and scalable route to acquire the privileged QUINOL scaffolds in a metal-free manner. Moreover, a NHC-catalyzed kinetic resolution of QUINOL N-oxides with high selectivity factor is established to access two types of promising axially chiral Lewis base catalysts in optically pure forms. The utility of this methodology is further illustrated by facile transformations of the products into QUINAP, an iconic ligand in asymmetric catalysis.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of N14-Amino Acid-Substituted Tetrandrine Derivatives as Potential Antitumor Agents against Human Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:As a typical dibenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, tetrandrine (TET) is clinically used for the treatment of silicosis, inflammatory pulmonary, and cardiovascular diseases in China. Recent investigations have demonstrated the outstanding anticancer activity of this structure, but its poor aqueous solubility severely restricts its further development. Herein, a series of its 14-N-amino acid-substituted derivatives with improved anticancer effects and aqueous solubility were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound 16 displayed the best antiproliferative activity against human colorectal cancer (HCT-15) cells, with an IC50 value of 0.57 μM. Compared with TET, 16 was markedly improved in terms of aqueous solubility (by 5-fold). Compound 16 significantly suppressed the colony formation, migration, and invasion of HCT-15 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with it being more potent in this respect than TET. Additionally, compound 16 markedly impaired the morphology and motility of HCT-15 cells and induced the death of colorectal cancer cells in double-staining and flow cytometry assays. Western blot results revealed that 16 could induce the autophagy of HCT-15 cells by significantly decreasing the content of p62/SQSTM1 and enhancing the Beclin-1 level and the ratio of LC3-II to LC3-I. Further study showed that 16 effectively inhibited the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of umbilical vein endothelial cells, manifesting in a potent anti-angiogenesis effect. Overall, these results revealed the potential of 16 as a promising candidate for further preclinical studies.

Unnatural Amino Acid Derivatives through Click Chemistry: Synthesis of Triazolylalanine Analogues.

Project description:A novel tert-butyl 2-(1-oxoisolndolin-2-yl)acetate derivative is selectively alkylated with propargyl bromide in the presence of lithium hexamethyldisilazide. After removal of the tert-butyl protecting group, the resulting N-isoindolinyl (ethynylalanine) derivative is reacted with a series of azides under 'click conditions'. The click reactions afford an array of N-isoindolinyl-1,2,3-triazolylalanine derivatives as the free carboxylic adds. Following esterification, the N-isoindolinone protecting group is then transformed into the more easily removable phthaloyl group by selective oxidation at the benzylic position.

Synthesis of chiral 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives from amino acids.

Project description:A versatile method for the synthesis of chiral 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives starting from easily accessible naturally occurring D-or L-amino acids as chiral synthons is described. The amino acids were converted into azido alcohols, followed by copper catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition reactions between the azido alcohols and methyl propiolate and subsequent ester aminolysis with primary and secondary amines furnished the target compounds, which were obtained in excellent yields with no racemization. Docking of selected target compounds shows that the chiral 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles derivatives has the potential of mimicking the binding mode of known purine analogues.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Amino Chalcone Derivatives as Antiproliferative Agents.

Project description:Chalcone is a common scaffold found in many biologically active compounds. The chalcone scaffold was also frequently utilized to design novel anticancer agents with potent biological efficacy. Aiming to continue the research of effective chalcone derivatives to treat cancers with potent anticancer activity, fourteen amino chalcone derivatives were designed and synthesized. The antiproliferative activity of amino chalcone derivatives was studied in vitro and 5-Fu as a control group. Some of the compounds showed moderate to good activity against three human cancer cells (MGC-803, HCT-116 and MCF-7 cells) and compound 13e displayed the best antiproliferative activity against MGC-803 cells, HCT-116 cells and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 1.52 ?M (MGC-803), 1.83 ?M (HCT-116) and 2.54 ?M (MCF-7), respectively which was more potent than the positive control (5-Fu). Further mechanism studies were explored. The results of cell colony formatting assay suggested compound 10e inhibited the colony formation of MGC-803 cells. DAPI fluorescent staining and flow cytometry assay showed compound 13e induced MGC-803 cells apoptosis. Western blotting experiment indicated compound 13e induced cell apoptosis via the extrinsic/intrinsic apoptosis pathway in MGC-803 cells. Therefore, compound 13e might be a valuable lead compound as antiproliferative agents and amino chalcone derivatives worth further effort to improve amino chalcone derivatives' potency.
