Regioselective synthesis of 3-arylamino- and 5-arylaminoisoxazoles from enaminones

A highly regioselective synthesis of 3-arylamino- and 5-arylaminoisoxazoles from enaminones based on reaction condition selection is reported. 3-Arylaminoisoxazoles were produced by treating enaminones with aqueous hydroxylamine in DMF at 100 °C, whereas 5-arylaminoisoxazoles were synthesized by subjecting enaminones to aqueous hydroxylamine in the presence of KOH and TBAB in water under reflux. A mechanism for the regioselective synthesis of 3-arylamino- and 5-arylaminoisoxazoles is proposed.     

Regulation of the Balb/c-3T3 cell cycle-effects of growth factors

The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which is found in serum but not in plasma, has been purified to homogeneity; it stimulates replication at a concentration of 10(-10) M. Brief treatment with PDGF causes density-inhibited Balb/c-3T3 cells to become competent to synthesize DNA; pituitary fibroblast growth factor (FGF) or precipitates of calcium phosphate also induce competence. Continuous treatment with plasma allows competent, but not incompetent, cells to synthesize DNA. A critical component of plasma is somatomedin, a group of hormones with insulin-like activity; multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA) or insulin replace plasma somatomedin in promoting DNA synthesis. We have studied the molecular correlates of competence and the role of SV40 gene A products in regulating DNA synthesis. Treatment of quiescent cells with pure PDGF or FGF causes the preferential synthesis of five cytoplasmic proteins (approximate molecular weight 29,000, 35,000, 45,000, 60,000, and 72,000 detected by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions). Two of these competence-associated proteins (29,000 and 35,000 daltons) are insulin, or epidermal growth factor (EGF). PDGF, FGF, or calcium phosphate induce an ultrastructure change within the centriole of 3T3 cells; this ultrastructural modification of the centriole is detectable by immunofluorescence within 2 h or PDGF treatment. Plasma, EGF, or MSA do not modify the centriole. SV40 induces replicative DNA synthesis in growth-arrested 3T3 cells but does not cause this alteration in centriole structure. Gene A variants of SV40, including a mutant with temperature-sensitive (ts) T-antigen (ts A209), a deletion in t-antigen (dl 884), and several ts A209 strains containing t-antigen deletions were used to induce DNA synthesis in Balb/c-3T3 cells. Like wild type SV40, all strains induced DNA synthesis equally well under permissive or nonpermissive conditions. Addition of PDGF or plasma had little effect on SV40-induced DNA synthesis. Thus, the viral function that induces replicative DNA synthesis in Balb/c-3T3 cells. Like wild type SV40, all strains induced DNA synthesis equally well under permissive or nonpermissive conditions. Addition of PDGF or plasma had little effect on SV40-induced DNA synthesis. Thus, the viral function that induces replicative DNA synthesis in Balb/c-3T3 cells is not t and is not temperature sensitive. This SV40 gene function overrides the cellular requirement for hormonal growth factors. It does not induce transient centriole deciliation, a hormonally regulated event.

Revisiting [3 + 3] route to 1,3-cyclohexanedione frameworks: hidden aspect of thermodynamically controlled enolates.

We have revisited the traditional consecutive Michael-Claisen [3 + 3] process (MC-[3 + 3]) promising the synthesis of a cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives from nonactivated simple ketones and enoates and evaluated its potential in modern organic synthesis. Twenty to thirty examples were demonstrated to be effective. The reactions exhibited remarkable regioselectivity with the Michael addition proceeding through nucleophilic attack by the more hindered site of the ketones without exception. The subsequent Claisen condensation resulted in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds between less hindered site of the ketones and acyl carbon of the enoates. The MC-[3 + 3] process described is useful for the synthesis of Taxol A-ring synthons in multigram quantities and for the synthesis of other six-membered carbocyclic compounds. A number of control experiments have been conducted to provide strong support for the mechanism of this MC-[3 + 3].

3'-nitrophenylpropyloxycarbonyl (NPPOC) protecting groups for high-fidelity automated 5' --> 3' photochemical DNA synthesis

A photoremovable group that could be removed in quantitative yield would ensure high purity of the synthesized probes.

These phosphoramidites were proved in automated photochemical DNA synthesis on a modified synthesizer.

Green chemistry approach to the synthesis of 3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and 2-methyl-3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and biological evaluation

ABSTRACT

A synthesis of two series of 3-substituted quinazolinones was performed utilizing a green chemistry approach, deep eutectic solvents and microwaves, namely. 2-Methyl-3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were synthesized in a two-step reaction, using choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). 3-Substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were synthesized in one-pot one-step reaction of anthranilic acid, amines and orthoester in a microwave reactor. For the synthesis of 2-methyl-3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, first conventional synthesis of benzoxazinone, as an intermediate, was performed. Further, benzoxazinone in reaction with corresponding amines, in choline choline:urea deep eutectic solvent, furnished desired compounds. These procedures are based on green principles with the aim of developing synthetic routes for the potential antitumor agents. All compounds were characterized by LC/MS, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectral techniques. Compound 1 bearing trifluoromethoxyphenyl group showed promising activity against HuT-78 cell line with IC₅₀ of 51.4?±?5.1?µM.

Protease Immobilization on γ‐Fe2O3/Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles for the Synthesis of Oligopeptides in Organic Solvents

The use of nanobiocatalysts, with the combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology, is considered as an exciting and rapidly emerging area. The use of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, as enzyme immobilization carriers, has drawn great attention because of their unique properties, such as controllable particle size, large surface area, modifiable surface, and easy recovery. In this study, various γ‐Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles with immobilized proteases were successfully prepared by three different immobilization strategies including A) direct binding, B) with thiophene as a linker, and C) with triazole as a linker. The oligopeptides syntheses catalyzed by these magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with immobilized proteases were systematically studied. Our results show that i) for magnetic nanoparticles immobilized α‐chymotrypsin, both immobilization strategies A and B furnished good reusability for the Z‐Tyr‐Gly‐Gly‐OEt synthesis, the MNPs enzymes can be readily used at least five times without significant loss of its catalytic performance: ii) In the case of Z‐Asp‐Phe‐OMe synthesis catalyzed by magnetic nanoparticles immobilized thermolysin, immobilization Strategy B provided the best recyclability: iii) For the immobilized papain, although Strategy A or B afforded an immobilized enzyme for the first cycle of Z‐Ala‐Leu‐NHNHPh synthesis in good yield, their subsequent catalytic activity decreased rapidly. In general, the γ‐Fe₂O₃ MNPs were better for use as an immobilization matrix, rather than the Fe₃O₄ MNPs, owing to their smaller particle size and higher surface area.
