Under microwave irradiation (MWI), novel chiral receptors derived from deoxycholic acid were synthesized by using deoxycholic acid methyl ester as the spacer, and arylhydrazine and amino acids as the arm. Selective recognition properties of these receptors for aromatic amines and D/L-amino acids have been investigated by UV-vis spectral titration and 1H NMR spectral study. The results indicate this type of receptors can form a 1:1 supramolecular complex with an aromatic amine and a 1:2 supramolecular complex with D/L-tryptophan.

Various 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives were conceived. The title compounds demonstrated striking inhibitory effects againstXac,Psa, andXoo. EC50data exhibited that A8 (19.7 μg/mL) had better antibacterial activity againstXoothan myricetin, BT, and TC. Simultaneously, the mechanism of action of A8 had been verified by SEM. The results of anti-tobacco mosaic virus indicated that A9 had the bestin vivoantiviral effect compared with ningnanmycin. From the data of MST, it could be seen that A9 (0.003 ± 0.001 μmol/L) exhibited a strong binding capacity, which was far superior to ningnanmycin (2.726 ± 1.301 μmol/L). This study shows that the 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives may become agricultural drugs with great potential.

GPR52 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that has been recently implicated as a potential drug target of Huntington's disease (HD), an incurable monogenic neurodegenerative disorder. In this research, we found that striatal knockdown of GPR52 reduces mHTT levels in adult HdhQ140 mice, validating GPR52 as an HD target. In addition, we discovered a highly potent and specific GPR52 antagonist Comp-43 with an IC50 value of 0.63 μM by a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. Further studies showed that Comp-43 reduces mHTT levels by targeting GPR52 and promotes survival of mouse primary striatal neurons. Moreover, in vivo study showed that Comp-43 not only reduces mHTT levels but also rescues HD-related phenotypes in HdhQ140 mice. Taken together, our study confirms that inhibition of GPR52 is a promising strategy for HD therapy, and the GPR52 antagonist Comp-43 might serve as a lead compound for further investigation.

Defective in cullin neddylation 1(DCN1) is a co-E3 ligase that is important for cullin neddylation. Dysregulation of DCN1 highly correlates with the development of various cancers. Herein, from the initial high-throughput screening, a novel hit compound 5a containing a phenyltriazole thiol core (IC50 value of 0.95 μM for DCN1-UBC12 interaction) was discovered. Further structure-based optimization leads to the development of SK-464 (IC50 value of 26 nM). We found that SK-464 not only directly bound to DCN1 in vitro, but also engaged cellular DCN1, suppressed the neddylation of cullin3, and hindered the migration and invasion of two DCN1-overexpressed squamous carcinoma cell lines (KYSE70 and H2170). These findings indicate that SK-464 may be a novel lead compound targeting DCN1-UBC12 interaction.

The chlorination of aromatic carboxylic acids with SOCl2 has been effectively performed by reacting with a Br?nsted acid as the catalyst. Based on this discovery, an efficient catalytic method that is cheaper than traditional catalytic methods was developed. 20 substrates were chlorinated offering excellent yields in a short reaction time. And the SOCl2/Br?nsted acid system has been used in a larger scale preparative reaction. A dual activation mechanism was proposed to prove the irreplaceable system of SOCl2/Br?nsted acid.

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a bile acid-activated nuclear receptor, regulates the metabolism of bile acid and lipids as well as maintains the stability of internal environment. FXR was considered as a therapeutic target of liver disorders, such as drug-induced liver injury, fatty liver and cholestasis. The previous reported FXR partial agonist 6 was a suitable lead compound in terms of its high potent and low molecular size, while the docking study of compound 6 suggested a large unoccupied hydrophobic pocket, which might be provided more possibility of structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. In this study, we have performed comprehensive SAR and molecular modeling studies based on lead compound 6. All of these efforts resulted in the identification of a novel series of FXR partial agonists. In this series, compound 41 revealed the best activity and strong interaction with binding pocket of FXR. Moreover, compound 41 protected mice against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by the regulation of FXR-related gene expression and improving antioxidant capacity. In summary, these results suggest that compound 41 is a promising FXR partial agonist suitable for further investigation.
Methylation with Dimethyl Carbonate/Dimethyl Sulfide Mixtures: An Integrated Process without Addition of Acid/Base and Formation of Residual Salts
Chan, Bun,Lui, Matthew Y.,Lui, Yuen Wai

Dimethyl sulfide, a major byproduct of the Kraft pulping process, was used as an inexpensive and sustainable catalyst/co-reagent (methyl donor) for various methylations with dimethyl carbonate (as both reagent and solvent), which afforded excellent yields of O-methylated phenols and benzoic acids, and mono-C-methylated arylacetonitriles. Furthermore, these products could be isolated using a remarkably straightforward workup and purification procedure, realized by dimethyl sulfide‘s neutral and distillable nature and the absence of residual salts. The likely mechanisms of these methylations were elucidated using experimental and theoretical methods, which revealed that the key step involves the generation of a highly reactive trimethylsulfonium methylcarbonate intermediate. The phenol methylation process represents a rare example of a Williamson-type reaction that occurs without the addition of a Br?nsted base.

C(OH)–C bonds are widely distributed in naturally renewable biomass, such as carbohydrates, lignin, and their platform molecules. Selective cleavage and functionalization of C(OH)–C bonds is an attractive strategy in terms of producing value-added chemicals from biomass. However, effective transformation of alcohols into esters by activation of C(OH)–C bonds has not been achieved so far. Herein, for the first time, we report selective cleavage and esterification of C(OH)–C bonds, catalyzed by inexpensive copper salts, using environmentally benign oxygen as the oxidant, to afford methyl esters in excellent yields. A diverse range of phenylethanol derivatives that contain C(OH)–C bonds were effectively converted into methyl benzoates. Detailed analysis revealed that the high efficiency and selectivity resulted mainly from the fact that, in addition to the major esterification reaction, the side products (e.g., olefins and acids) were also transformed in situ into esters in the reaction system. C(OH)–C bonds are widely distributed in naturally renewable biomass. In the context of developing future biorefineries, selective cleavage and functionalization of C(OH)–C bonds are crucial and represent an attractive strategy in terms of producing value-added chemical compounds from biomass resources. In the current manuscript, we report, for the first time, an effective and selective method for the cleavage and esterification of C(OH)–C bonds of alcohols to produce esters, by using environmentally benign O2 as the terminal oxidant and inexpensive commercially available copper salts as catalysts. Furthermore, a detailed mechanistic study revealed that, in addition to the major esterification route, side products (e.g., olefins and acids), which are inevitably generated under oxidative and basic conditions, were also simultaneously converted into esters, thus significantly improving the final yields of target ester products. Native lignin represents the only naturally sustainable aromatic resource. Transformation of native lignin into valuable aromatics would make a great contribution to our planet. We report, for the first time, the effective transformation of alcohols into esters by esterification of C(OH)–C bonds, which offers a new way for the simultaneous degradation and functionalization of lignin. This reaction promotes new explorations for biomass valorization.

Selective cleavage and functionalization of C?C bonds have important applications in organic synthesis and biomass utilization. However, functionalization of C?C bonds by controlled cleavage remains difficult and challenging because they are inert. Herein, we describe an unprecedented efficient protocol for the breaking of successive C?C bonds in alcohols to form esters with one or multiple carbon atoms less using heterogeneous cobalt nanoparticles as catalyst with dioxygen as the oxidant. A wide range of alcohols including inactive long-chain alkyl aryl alcohols undergo smoothly successive cleavage of adjacent ?(C?C)n? bonds to afford the corresponding esters. The catalyst was used for seven times without any decrease in activity. Characterization and control experiments disclose that cobalt nanoparticles are responsible for the successive cleavage of C?C bonds to achieve excellent catalytic activity, while the presence of Co-Nx has just the opposite effect. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a tandem sequence reaction is involved in this process.
