Design, synthesis and evaluation of structurally diverse chrysin-chromene-spirooxindole hybrids as anticancer agents
摘要:
A series of structurally diverse chrysin-chromene-spirooxindole hybrids were designed, synthesized via a Knoevenagel/Michael/cyclization of chrysin and isatylidene malononitrile derivatives through utilizing a hybrid pharmacophore approach. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity, and most of the compounds showed stronger anti-proliferative activity than parent compound chrysin. In particular, compound 3e had the highest cytotoxicity towards A549 cells (IC50 = 3.15 +/- 0.51 mu M), and had better selectivity in A549 cells and normal MRC-5 cells. Furthermore, compound 3e could significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner, as well as induce the apoptosis possibly through mitochondria-mediated caspase-3/8/9 activation and multi-target co-regulation of the p53 signaling pathway. Thus, our results provide in vitro evidence that compound 3e may be a potential candidate for the development of new anti-tumour drugs.

new strategy to access highly unusual tricyclic oxindoles. From a synthetic point of view, this protocol is very interesting considering the high level of complexity reached in one step. The mechanism is thought to proceed by a tripleMichael/cyclization process by using allenoate as a three carbon atom component (3 C). Furthermore, multicomponentreaction with γ‐substituted allenoate also results in

enantioselective formal [4+2] tandem cyclizations between isatylidenemalononitriles and activated dienes catalyzed by bifunctional chiral phosphine catalysts have been developed, yielding multistereogenic spirocyclicoxindoles in high yields and excellent optical purity. This reaction is accomplished via a tandem Rauhut–Currier/Michael/Rauhut–Currier reactionsequence.

and isatylidene malononitriles in dry acetonitrile at room temperature afforded polysubstituted spiro[indoline-3,4′-pyridines] in good yields and with high diastereoselectivity. Under similar reaction conditions, the corresponding functionalized spiro[indene-2,4′-pyridines] were also obtained from the three-component reactions containing 2-(1,3-dioxo-1H-inden-2(3H)-ylidene)malononitrile.
The decarboxylative carbon-carbonbondformation reaction of β-ketoacid derivatives with isatylidene malononitrile derivatives catalyzed by DBU afford adducts in excellent yield. The desired product can be easily isolated using simple filtration method without performing any column chromatography. The decarboxylative adduct was further subjected to reductive-cyclization to obtain biologically important
The iron-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of C(sp3)–H/C(sp3)–H bonds to afford olefins by 4H elimination is described. This method employs air (molecular oxygen) as an ideal oxidant, and is performed under mild, ligand-free and base-free conditions. H2O is the only byproduct. Good tolerance of functional groups and high yields have also been achieved. Preliminary mechanistic investigations
