Bicyclic Cyclohexenones as Inhibitors of NF-κB Signaling
摘要:
A series of structurally simplified cryptocaryone analogues were synthesized by a facile Pd-catalyzed acetoxylation of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones and evaluated as inhibitors of NF-kappa B signaling. Compounds 10 and 11 were found to possess low micromolar inhibitory properties toward induced NF-kappa B activity by blocking p50/p65 nuclear protein through a covalent inhibition mechanism. Both compounds were: able to inhibit NF-kappa B-induced IL-8 expression and exhibited antiproliferative activity against two model cancer cell lines. These analogues constitute a promising new scaffolc. for the development of novel NF-kappa B inhibitors and anticancer agents.
Palladium-Catalyzed Reactions of Cyclohexadienones: Regioselective Cyclizations Triggered by Alkyne Acetoxylation
摘要:
Regioselective cyclizations of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones can be accomplished under palladium catalysis. The cyclization involves an Initial Pd-mediated acetoxylation of the alkyne, followed by migratory insertion and protonolysis of the resulting palladium enolate. The predictable regloselectivity of these atom-economical and stereoselective reactions is influenced by developing steric interactions during migratory insertion of a vinyl palladium intermediate.

desymmetric [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienone and internal alkyne is established. Widely existing fused tricyclic hydronaphthofuran and hydronaphthopyrrole frameworks are prepared diastereoselectively in moderate to excellent yields. One-step aromatization process provides a new and facile access to important benzene-containing tricycles from above cycloaddition products
