We report not only the convergent total synthesis of falcitidin, a natural inhibitor of falcipain-2 from myxobacterium Chitinophaga, but also its diversification into a new antimalarial class of N-acyl tetrapeptides (Acyl-His-Ile-Val-Pro-NH2). Despite the lack of whole-cell activity of falcitidin itself, our study led to the identification of a trifluoromethyl (CF3) analogue displaying sub-micromolar IC50 activity against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 in a standard blood-cell assay, but only when N-tritylated on its histidine (imidazole) residue. 相似文献

An efficient and facile green synthesis of spirooxindole derivatives bearing pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole moiety has been achieved via a \(\mathrm{CeO}_{2}\)-NPs catalyzed four-component reaction in water. The protocol offers an environmentally benign and effective approach to highly functionalized and biologically interesting spiro[indoline-3,4\(^\prime \)-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole] derivatives. The synthesized compounds exhibit potent antioxidant and antibacterial activities. 相似文献
We describe herein a catalytic, enantioselective process for the synthesis of 4H‐chromenes which are important structural elements of many natural products and biologically active compounds. A sequence comprising a conjugate addition of β‐diketones to in situ generated ortho‐quinone methides followed by a cyclodehydration reaction furnished 4‐aryl‐4H‐chromenes in generally excellent yields and high optical purity. A BINOL‐based chiral phosphoric acid was employed as a Brønsted acid catalyst which converted ortho‐hydroxy benzhydryl alcohols into hydrogen‐bonded ortho‐quinone methides and effected the carbon–carbon bond‐forming event with high enantioselectivity. 相似文献

In the present work, molecular docking of the chalcone analogues with receptor EGFR carried out using erlotinib as reference drug is reported. About 15 chalcone analogues were analyzed CHL(1–15). Molecules CHL2, CHL3, CHL9, CHL11, and CHL15 found strong affinity for receptor EGFR exhibiting binding energies ??7.7 kcal/mol, ??7.5 kcal/mol, ??7.6 kcal/mol, ??7.9 kcal/mol, and ??8.1 kcal/mol, respectively, when erlotinib a reference drug exhibits binding energy ??7.6 kcal/mol. Toxicity for molecules was assessed against the cytochromes P450 (CYP) and P-gp using Swiss ADMET. Molecule CHL9 could be a suitable lead compound inhibitor to CYP1A2 followed by CHL2 inhibitor of CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 and CHL15 with a most stable binding affinity of ??8.1 kcal/mol, inhibiting CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6. CHL3 has a binding affinity of ??7.5 kcal/mol, inhibiting all the 05 CYP enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4). CHL11 has a binding affinity of ??7.9 kcal/mol, inhibiting CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2C9. Considering inhibition of CYP family enzymes by molecules, further here we have perform the enrichment analysis to these CYP family enzymes and reported the metabolic pathways which were probably affected by inhibition of these enzymes using EnrichR online enrichment analysis server. The current predictions over these 15 chalcone derivatives will be needed to further investigate in vivo and in vitro conditions to identify the optimum therapeutic efficacy and least toxicity.
Understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in the decomposition of 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) still represents a major challenge for the energetic materials and physical (organic) chemistry communities mainly because multiple competing dissociation channels are likely involved and previous detection methods of the products are not isomer selective. In this study we exploited a microsecond pulsed infrared laser to decompose thin RDX films at 5 K under mild conditions to limit the fragmentation channels. The subliming decomposition products during the temperature programed desorption phase are detected using isomer selective single photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PI-ReTOF-MS). This technique enables us to assign a product signal at m/z=42 to ketene (H2CCO), but not to diazomethane (H2CNN; 42 amu) as speculated previously. Electronic structure calculations support our experimental observations and unravel the decomposition mechanisms of RDX leading eventually to the elusive ketene (H2CCO) via an exotic, four-membered ring intermediate. This study highlights the necessity to exploit isomer-selective detection schemes to probe the true decomposition products of nitramine-based energetic materials. 相似文献
