Here, a novel iodine-catalyzed direct cyclization of o-nitrothiophenols with cyclohexanones to phenothiazines has been described without external oxidants and hydrogen acceptors. The nitro of o-nitrothiophenol works as both a hydrogen acceptor and a coupling group, and water is the only byproduct. The reaction involves the reduction of nitro groups, C–H bond thioetherification, and C–H bond dehydroaromatization

Accumulation of misfolded alpha-synuclein in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites is the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). To identify ligands having high binding potency toward aggregated alpha-synuclein, we synthesized a series of phenothiazine derivatives and assessed their binding affinity to recombinant alpha-synuclein fibrils using a fluorescent thioflavin T competition assay. Among 16 new analogues, the in vitro data suggest that compound 11b has high affinity to alpha-synuclein fibrils (K-i = 32.10 +/- 1.25 nM) and compounds 11d, 16a and 16b have moderate affinity to alpha-synuclein fibrils (K-i approximate to 50-100 nM). Further optimization of the structure of these analogues may yield compounds with high affinity and selectivity for aggregated alpha-synuclein. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
