A mild and efficientsynthesis of N-acylhydrazones has been developed, applying a simple grindstone procedure, leading to a library of 51 examples exhibiting a broad variety of structural features, 21 of them described for the first time in this paper. This methodology works without any organic solvent under the catalysis of acetic acid at room temperature, promotes the formation of essentially pure

Tubulin-interacting agents, like vinca alkaloid and taxanes, play a fundamental role in cancer chemotherapy, making cellular microtubules (MT), one of the few validated anticancer targets. Cancer resistance to classical MT inhibitors has motivated the development of novel molecules with increased efficacy and lower toxicity. Aiming at designing structurally-simple inhibitors of MT assembly, we synthesized a series of thirty-one 3,4,5-trimethoxy-hydrazones and twenty-five derivatives or analogs. Docking simulations suggested that a representative N-acylhydrazone could adopt an appropriate stereochemistry inside the colchicine-binding domain of tubulin. Several of these compounds showed anti-leukemia effects in the nanomolar concentration range. Interference with MT polymerization was validated by the compounds' ability to inhibit MT assembly at the biochemical and cellular level. Selective toxicity investigations done with the most potent compound, a 3,4,5-trimethoxy-hydrazone with a 1-naphthyl group, showed remarkably selective toxicity against leukemia cells in comparison with stimulated normal lymphocytes, and no acute toxicity in vivo. Finally, this molecule was as active as vincristine in a murine model of human acute lymphoblastic leukemia at a weekly dose of 1 mg/kg. (C) 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
Delineating the Role of Substituents on the Coordination Behavior of Aroylhydrazone Ligands in Pd

Complexes and their Influence on Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling in Aqueous Media
piperonal aroylhydrazone ligands (HL1–HL4) with [PdCl2(PPh3)2] in CH3OH and CHCl3 afforded four new Pd(II) complexes (1–4) featuring diverse coordination behaviors. These complexes 1–4 were fully characterized by elemental analyses, UV/Visible, FT‐IR and 1H/13C NMR spectra. The variant coordination modes of piperonal aroylhydrazone ligands with Pd(II) ion in these complexes were unambiguously confirmed
