雷公藤(Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f.)系卫矛科雷公藤属植物。前已报道了雷公藤次碱(wilforine,l)、雷公藤碱及新生物碱雷公藤碱戊的结构。本文报告雷公藤碱已(wilformine,2),雷公藤碱乙(wilforgine,3)及雷公藤碱庚(wilforzine,4)的结构,2为首次分得之新生物碱,3、4结构系首次报道。     

新生物碱雷公藤碱戊的结构

雷公藤(Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f.)系卫矛科雷公藤属植物.今分得五个生物碱,其中一个为新生物碱,命名为雷公藤碱戊(wilforidine,1);另外四个为已知化合物:雷公藤次碱(wilforine,2),雷公藤碱乙(wilforgine),雷公藤碱(wilfordine,3)及雷公藤碱丁(wilfortrine).     

雷公藤内酯醇靶蛋白的筛选及其结合的初步验证

采用噬菌体展示肽库技术筛选雷公藤内酯醇的靶蛋白,得到了一个肽段,并通过酶联免疫吸附(ELISA)和免疫共沉淀验证了该片段对雷公藤内酯醇的结合特异性。用Basic Local Alignment Search Tool(BLAST)进行序列对比后,找到了77个匹配序列,其中最为匹配的序列是人类类固醇生成因子-1(hSF-1),因此hSF-1可能是雷公藤内酯醇的一个潜在受体。在大肠杆菌中表达纯化了hSF-1的配体结合域(LBD),荧光光谱实验表明雷公藤内酯醇对hSF-1-LBD有荧光淬灭作用、等温滴定量热(ITC)实验表明雷公藤内酯醇与hSF-1-LBD发生焓驱动的特异性结合,表面等离子体共振(SPR)实验表明雷公藤内酯醇可以与hSF-1-LBD剂量依赖性结合,这些都证实了hSF-1与雷公藤内酯醇存在特异性相互作用。     

靶向iNOS的雷公藤甲素氨基酸前药的合成

雷公藤甲素(TL)是从卫矛科雷公藤中提取的环氧二萜内酯,具有显著的抗炎和免疫抑制活性,但TL本身毒性较大、水溶性差、治疗窗窄,极大地限制其在临床上的应用。以炎症部位过度表达的诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)为靶点,在TL结构中引入iNOS底物及其类似物设计合成系列雷公藤甲素氨基酸前药,提高其水溶性和靶向性。雷公藤甲素氨基酸前药的化学合成以TL为原料,首先与琥珀酸酐缩合得到雷公藤甲素琥珀酸酯(TR),然后在HATU/DIPEA缩合体系下与未保护ω-NH 2的氨基酸一锅法合成9个目标化合物(TR-1~TR-9),其结构经^1H-NMR,^13C-NMR和HRMS(ESI)确证。雷公藤甲素氨基酸前药的HPLC归一化含量和稳定性均满足后续的生物活性实验要求,有利于该类新药筛选的顺利实施。

A carbanion induced synthesis of highly congested pyrazole and imidazole containing heterocycles

An efficient approach to the synthesis of highly congested di, penta and hexacyclic pyrazoles as well as imidazole fragment containing novel heterocyclic molecule has been developed through a carbanion induced transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones, benzo[h]chromene and thiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrans. Due to the presence of fluorescence, we report their prime application metal sensor as off/on switching in ferric ions.     

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.     

N-Heterocyclic carbene-palladacyclic complexes: synthesis,characterization and their applications in the C-N coupling and α-arylation of ketones using aryl chlorides

N-Heterocyclic carbene-palladacyclic complexes 3 were successfully achieved in a one-pot procedure under mild conditions. The structure of 3a was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction and it was an active catalyst in the Buchwald-Hartwig amination and α-arylation of ketones even at very low catalyst loadings (0.01?mol%).     

Selective synthesis of 4,5-dihydroimidazo- and imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalines via modified Pictet–Spengler reaction

An efficient tandem approach for the selective synthesis of 4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalines 6a–g and imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalines 7a–h by the reaction of 2-imidazolyl anilines 4a–c with aryl aldehydes 5a–k under mild reaction conditions is described. Introduction of electron releasing alkyl groups in substrates 4a–b was found to be instrumental for the success of the reaction.     

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.     

Synthesis of N-substituted carbazolones from α-iodo enaminones via Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling under microwave irradiation

A variety of N-aryl and N-alkyl carbazolones were conveniently achieved in good to high yields via Pd₂(dba)₃-mediated intramolecular coupling of N-substituted α-iodo enaminones under microwave irradiation. The Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization was found to proceed favorably with the more electron-deficient phenyl ring during the reactions involving unsymmetrical N,N-diaryl α-iodo enaminones. This unique property enables the construction of carbazolone skeleton containing nitro substituted benzenoid ring.     

Iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction using terminal alkyne as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines and fused-nitrogen heterocycles

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.     

Synthesis of substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles by intramolecular nitrilimine cycloaddition

Both substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles have been synthesized by the 3+2 intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines to alkynes. This cyclization has been extended to more versatile 3-bromo derivatives by the use of alkynylbromides as dipolarophiles.     

Facile synthesis of bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones

In this Letter, we described a facile method for constructing fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-one ring system. We employed various methylene-containing carboxylic acids as the substrates and proved that the pyrazolone ring closure requires activated methylene group in intermediate II. Accordingly, a series of structurally diversified, fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones was prepared in moderate to high yields using the requisite substrates.
