A concise and efficient one-pot synthesis of novel N -fused tricyclic derivatives has been developed by using the Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé (GBB) reaction, which involved the reaction of 3-amino-1 H -indazoles, aldehydes and isonitriles to afford 2-aryl-5 H -imidazo[1,2- b ]indazol-3-amine derivatives via a formal [4 + 1] cycloaddition reaction. Furthermore, we describe an unprecedented reaction of chromone-3-carboxaldehydes with 3-amino-1 H -indazoles to afford (2-hydroxyphenyl)(pyrimido[1,2- b ]indazol-3-yl)methanones in one-pot at ambient temperature. This protocol features a robust method for the one-step construction of new tricyclic rings, column chromatography free methods with a clean reaction profile, high yields, operational simplicity and it tolerates a diverse collection of reactants.

We describe the synthesis of a fluorescent deoxyguanosine derivative that co-assembles (in water ) with an unlabeled analogue into a heteromeric supramolecular G-quadruplex, which forms a host–guest complex with doxorubicin as evidenced by FRET experiments.

The synthesis of N -aryl, N -tosyl, and N -alkyl pyrrolines from allyl alcohols and amines has been developed. The reaction sequence includes a palladium -catalyzed allylation step in which non-manipulated allyl alcohol is used to generate the diallylated amine in good to excellent yield. An excess of allyl alcohol was necessary for efficient diallylation of the amine , where the excess alcohol could be recycled three times. For aryl and tosyl amines, Pd[P(OPh) 3 ] 4 was used and for benzyl and alkyl amines a catalytic system comprising Pd(OAc) 2 , P n Bu 3 , and BEt 3 was used. Both the electronic properties and the steric influence of the amine affected the efficiency of the allylation. The isolated diallylated amines were transformed into their corresponding pyrrolines by ring-closing metathesis catalyzed by (H 2 IMes)(PCy 3 )Cl 2 RuCHPh in good to excellent yield. A one-pot reaction was developed in which aniline was transformed into the corresponding pyrroline without isolating the diallylated intermediate. This one-pot reaction was successfully scaled-up to 1 mL of aniline in which the N -phenyl pyrroline was isolated in 95% yield. The versatility of the reaction in which 3-methyl-1-phenyl pyrroline was prepared in two-steps was demonstrated.

Stapled peptides are gaining tremendous interest as next-generation therapeutic agents to target protein–protein interactions. Herein, we report an intramolecular peptide stapling method which links two tryptophan residues at the C2 position of the indole moieties via acid-mediated condensation with an aldehyde.

Type two diabetes is one of the primary health issues threatening public well-being worldwide. One of the pre-diagnosis biomarkers of this disease, retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), has been demonstrated to be detected with a 76-mer ssDNA aptamer instead of conventional antibodies. However, there is no structural information on the RBP4 binding aptamer (RBA) and the mechanism of its binding to RBP4 still remains unexplored. The objective of the present study is to achieve a better understanding of specific binding interactions of the target protein (RBP4) and RBA, employing Molecular Dynamics simulations (MDs) to provide detailed information on fluctuations, conformational changes, critical bases and effective forces to develop regulated aptamers to be employed in designing new aptamers for many useful recognition applications. RBA was designed according to its reported base pair sequence and secondary structure. The HADDOCK on line docking program was used to predict a suitable RBP4–RBA mode of interaction to start MDs with. MDs methodology was used to analyze the final complex stability and detect interacting residues. Eventually, we conclude that single strand located bases are the key components that conduct the intercalation phenomenon with big targets rather than those involving loops and folded motifs, to encompass targets and probably inhibit their activity. Also, UV–visible, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy measurements confirmed the interactions between RBA and RBP4 and RBP4–RBA complex formation.

Aggregation-induced emission and aggregation-induced emission enhancement have attracted much attention due to their great potential in real-world applications. Up to now most of the reports are based on the restriction of free rotation of the luminogens in the aggregates. In the present work, we found that the dansyl fluorophore with typical intramolecular charge transfer characteristic also exhibited aggregation-induced emission enhancement, which was based on the change of micro-environmental polarity of the fluorophore. In the light of the phenomenon, a new water-soluble ligand bearing a tetrasulfonated calix[4]arene was constructed for ratiometric detection of Al 3+ based on an aggregation-induced emission enhancement mechanism. It displayed a distinct selectivity to Al 3+ among the tested cations in lutidine buffer solution (pH 6–7) with a detection limit of 1.8 μM. A reversible response was also demonstrated by the addition of EDTA or F ? .

Lengthy peptides corresponding to the C-terminal heptad repeat (C-peptides) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp41 are potent inhibitors against virus–cell fusion. Designing short C-peptide-based HIV-1 fusion inhibitors could potentially redress the physicochemical and technical liabilities of a long-peptide therapeutic. However, designing such inhibitors with high potency has been challenging. We generated a conjugated architecture by incorporating small-molecule inhibitors of gp41 into the N-terminus of a panel of truncated C-peptides. Among these small molecule-capped short peptides, the 26-residue peptide Indole-T26 inhibited HIV-1 Env-mediated cell–cell fusion and viral replication at low nanomolar levels, reaching the potency of the only clinically used 36-residue peptide T20 (enfuvirtide). Collectively, our work opens up a new avenue for developing short peptide-based HIV-1 fusion inhibitors, and may have broad applicability to the development of modulators of other class I fusion proteins.

We report an efficient Mukaiyama-aldol reaction of tryptanthrin with fluorinated enol silyl ethers, which is carried out in methanol without the use of any catalyst. This method is applied to the total synthesis of the difluoro analogues of the natural product Phaitanthrin B.

A phytochemical investigation of Aleurites moluccanus yielded one novel dinor-diterpenoid, aleuritin ( 1 ), along with a rare diterpenoid, aleuritone ( 2 ). Compound 1 has an unprecedented skeleton with a 6/6/5-fused tricyclic ring system. Compound 2 possesses a rare 6/6/5/3-fused tetracyclic skeleton, which is probably an artifact formed photochemically by the Norrish reaction. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by spectroscopic methods (ECD, IR, mass, and NMR) and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. A plausible biogenetic pathway of 1 is proposed. Pharmacological study showed that these two compounds possessed mild in vitro anti-lymphangiogenic activity, which suppressed tube formation with IC 50 values of 48.1 ± 1.8 and 34.2 ± 0.8 μg mL ?1 , respectively.

The periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis requires porphyrin supplementation for growth. Previously, in order to inhibit P. gingivalis growth, we synthesised very effective ‘Trojan horse’ ester and amide-linked deuterporphyrin-nitroimidazole (DPIX-Nim) adducts that exploited this requirement to transport metronidazole-derived antibiotics with excellent antimicrobial selectivity and recognition by the HA2 porphyrin binding site. Herein, in the context of developing topical agents to target P. gingivalis , L -amino acids are incorporated into adducts as linkers to improve uptake. Ten 13- and 17-propionic amide regioisomers of L -amino acid-linked deuterporphyrin-nitroimidazole adducts were synthesised using a peptide coupling approach. DPIX-Lys regioisomers without attached nitroimidazole were also synthesised as comparison compounds. All the porphyrin adducts bound (Kd 50 7 to 20 nM) to a recombinant HA2 receptor with similar binding affinity to haem, except the lysine-proline linked DPIX-Lys(Boc)Pro-Nim adducts (Kd 50 300 nM) and the DPIX-Lys(Nim)-Nim adducts (Kd 50 200 nM), both of which have large appended groups. DPIX-Lys(Boc)-Nim, DPIX-Lys(OH)-Nim, and DPIX-Pro-Nim adducts were shown to be very effective against P. gingivalis . DPIX-Lys(Boc)Pro-Nim adducts and DPIX-Lys(Nim)-Nim adducts showed weak activity. Importantly, DPIX-Lys(Boc)-Nim adducts were selective for P. gingivalis and, unlike metronidazole, did not kill a range of other anaerobic bacteria isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract.
