Synthesis and CDK2 kinase inhibitory activity of 7/7′-azaindirubin derivatives

<正>A series of novel 7'-azaindirubin(1a-g) and 7-azaindirubin(2a,2c,2e and 2f) derivatives were designed and synthesized.Their structures were characterized by ~1H NMR and MS spectroscopy as well as by elemental analysis.Their inhibitory properties against CDK2/cylinA were evaluated in vitro.In contrast to indirubin,some of the described azaindirubins emerged as potent inhibitors of CDK2/cylinA and compound 2b had more potent activity.Biological tests also showed that nitrogen atom at 7-position of azaindirubin was more beneficial to enhance the kinase inhibitory activity.     

Synthesis and antiviral evaluation of 2′,2′,3′,3′-tetrafluoro nucleoside analogs

Herein, we report the synthesis of novel 2′,2′,3′,3′-tetrafluorinated nucleoside analogs along with their phosphoramidate prodrugs. A tetrafluoro ribose moiety was coupled with different Boc/benzoyl-protected nucleobases under Mitsunobu conditions. After deprotection, tetrafluorinated nucleosides 13b, 14b, 20b-22b were reacted with phenyl-(isopropoxy-l-alaninyl)-phosphorochloridate to afford corresponding monophosphate prodrugs 24b–28b. All synthesized compounds were evaluated against several DNA and RNA viruses including HIV, HBV, HCV, Ebola and Zika viruses.     

Synthesis of 2-O-ethyl analogues of 3′-azido- and 3′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridines and evaluation of their biological activity against HIV

Summary 2-O-Ethyluracil and 2-O-ethylthymine were silylated with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane and condensed in the presence ofTMS triflate with 2,3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-D-erythro-pentofuranoside, 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-pentofuranoside, and 2,3-dideoxy-3-phthalimido--D-erythro-pentofuranose derivatives to give the corresponding 2-O-ethyl nucleosides. Deprotection with saturated methanolic ammonia afforded the 2,3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-2-O-ethyluridines, whereas 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyluridine was obtained by deprotection with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran. 3-Amino-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyluridine could be obtained only by treatment of the corresponding 3-azido nucleoside with triphenylphosphine in pyridine. 3-Deoxy-2-O-ethyl-3-fluorothymidine (6b) showed moderate activity against HIV-1.

A series of novel derivatives of ligustrazine linked with substituted benzoyl guanidine were synthesized. These compounds have not been reported in literature, and their chemical structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and MS. The results of NHE1 inhibitory activity test showed that compounds I2, I3, I4, I6, and I7 possess more potent NHE1 inhibitory activity than cariporide.     

Synthesis and α-amylase inhibitory activity of glucose-deoxynojirimycin conjugates

Inhibitors of α-amylase have attracted attention for their putative effects against diabetes mellitus. Although numerous studies have explored natural small molecule inhibitors, acarbose is currently the only compound with sufficient inhibitory potency and drug-like characteristics to be considered as a potential therapeutic agent. We have synthesized conjugates of the potent glucosidase inhibitor, 1-deoxynojirimycin, and glucose, with the aim of enhancing inhibitory activity against α-amylase. This synthetic conjugate showed increased inhibition of α-amylase compared to 1-deoxynojirimycin alone, suggesting that similar modifications of existing glucosidase inhibitors may yield more potent α-amylase inhibitors.     

Synthesis of poly(2,2′,3,3′-indole)

New approaches to the synthesis of poly(2,2′,3,3′-indole) were developed based on the photochemical dehydropolycondensation of indole in the presence of iodine and the photochemical polycondensation of 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-iodo-1-ethanone in the absence of catalyst and solvent. A suggested mechanism for the formation of the oligomeric chain in these reactions includes the intermediate formation of 3,3′-diindole with subsequent polycondensation via elimination of hydrogen atoms at position 2 of the dimer pyrrole fragment.     

Synthesis of 2′,3′-Dideoxy-2′-Fluorokanamycin A

2′,3′-Dideoxy-2′-fluorokanamycin A (23) was prepared by condensation of 6-azido-4-0-benzoyl-2,3,6-trideoxy-2-fluoro-α-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl bromide (13) and a protected disaccharide (19). Methyl 4,6-0-benzylidene-3-deoxy-β-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (5) prepared from methyl 4,6-0-benzylidene-3-chloro-3-deoxy-β-D-allo-hexopyranoside (1) by oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate followed by reduction with Na₂ S₂O₄ was fluorinated with the DAST reagent to give methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (7). Successive treatment of 7 with NBS, NaN₃ and SOBr₂ gave 13. The structure of the final product (23) was determined by the ¹H and ¹⁹F and shift-correlated 2D NMR spectra.

Synthesis of 2′-deoxy-2′-fluororibo- and 2′-deoxy-2′,2′-difluororibonucleosides derived from 6-(het)aryl-7-deazapurines

A series of novel sugar-modified derivatives of cytostatic 6-hetaryl-7-deazapurine ribonucleosides (2′-deoxy-2′-fluororibo- and 2′-deoxy-2′,2-difluororibonucleosides) bearing an aryl or hetaryl group in position 6, was prepared and screened for biological activity. The fluororibo derivatives were prepared by aqueous palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of the corresponding 6-chloro-7-deazapurine 2′-deoxy-2′-fluororibonucleoside 11 with (het)arylboronic acids. The key intermediate 11 was prepared by a six-step sequence from the corresponding arabinonucleoside by selective protection of 3′- and 5′-hydroxyls by acid-labile groups followed by stereoselective S_N2 fluorination and deprotection. The difluororibo-series was prepared by non-stereoselective glycosidation of 6-chloro-7-deazapurine with benzoyl-protected 2-deoxy-2,2-difluoro-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl-1-mesylate followed by cross-couplings, separation of anomers and deprotection. The title nucleosides did not show considerable cytostatic or antiviral activity.

Steroidal ketone thiosemicarbazones (4–6), obtained from the corresponding ketones(1–3), on oxidative cyclization with H₂O₂ at 0°C provide title compounds (7–9), respectively. The structures of these compounds have been established on the basis of their elemental analytical and spectral data.     

An Improved Synthesis of 2′-Hydroxy-3′,4′,6′-trimethoxyacylophenones

A wide variety of 2′-hydroxypolymethoxyacetophenones and propiophenones, e.g. 1a and 1b are used in the synthesis of flavone and ehromone natural products.¹ Repeated attempts to prepare 1a and 1b by reacting 1,2,3,5-tetramethoxybenzene 2 with acetyl or propionyl chlorides and AlCl₃ in ether² gave products which were difficult to purify.³ We traced the problem to ring-ethoxy contaminants which were isolated and tentatively identified as 3a and 3b.     

Synthesis of 2-fluoro-substituted and 2,6-modified purine 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-difluoro-d-arabinofuranosyl nucleosides from d-xylose

A series of novel purine-modified 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-difluro-D-arabinonucleosides, including fluorinated analogs of fludarabine and nelarabine, have been prepared via anion glycosylation reactions of salts of 2-fluoropurine derivatives with the glycosyl bromide. A short and efficient synthetic route to the carbohydrate precursor 5-O-benzoyl-2,3-difluoro-α-d-arabinofuranosyl bromide was developed in five steps from d-xylose. Improved synthesis of methyl 5-O-benzoyl-2,3-difluoro-α-d-arabinofuranoside based upon the study of diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST)-reactions with 5-O-protected methyl D-xylosides was explored using mild reaction conditions on the key step. New peculiarities for selective fluorinations of 5-O-benzoylated α- and β-D-pentofuranosides with DAST leading to the formation of mono and difluoro-furanoside derivatives are reported.     

Concise Synthesis and Cellular Evaluation of 3′-Formyl-4′,6′-dihydroxy-2′-methoxy-5′-methylchalcone (FMC) and Its Analogues

3′-Formyl-4′,6′-dihydroxy-2′-methoxy-5′-methylchalcone (FMC) was a natural product isolated from Cleistocalyx operculatus. A four-step synthetic strategy toward FMC and its four analogues (1b–1e) was first developed. All compounds were synthesized from commercially available 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone; formylation at 3′ position under Vilsmeier–Haack conditions was followed by the introduction of a methyl group at 5′ position. The key step of selective methylation at 2′ position was achieved by trimethylsilyldiazomethane (TMSCHN₂). Then substituted aromatic aldehydes were condensed through Claisen–Schmidt reaction in the presence of potassium hydroxide. All structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectra. FMC and analogues were screened for their antiproliferative activity.
