Triazole-curcuminoids: A new class of derivatives for ‘tuning’ curcumin bioactivities?
摘要:
Curcumin is a unique blend of pharmacophores responsible for the pleiotropy of this natural pigment. In the present study we have replaced the 1,3-dicarbonyl moiety with a 1,2,3-triazole ring to furnish a new class of triazole-curcuminoids as a possible strategy to generate new compounds with different potency and selectivity compared to curcumin. We obtained a proof-of-principle library of 28 compounds tested for their cytotoxicity (SY-SY5Y and HeLa cells) and for their ability to inhibit NF-kappa B. Furthermore, we also generated 1,3-dicarbonyl curcuminoids of selected click compounds. Triazole-curcuminoids lost their ability to be Michael's acceptors, yet maintained some of the features of the parent compounds and disclosed new ones. In particular, we found that some compounds were able to inhibit NF-kappa B without showing cytotoxicity, while others, unlike curcumin, activated NF-kappa B signalling. This validates the hypothesis that click libraries can be used to investigate the biological activities of curcumin as well as generate analogs with selected features. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

A new catalyticenantioselective enyne addition to ketones has been developed. In the presence of chiral lithium binaphtholate, the addition reaction proceeded smoothly to produce a series of enynylated tertiary alcohols in up to 96% yield and 94% enantiomeric excess. Convenient transformation of the adduct via Pauson–Khand cycloaddition reaction afforded the bicyclic product without detectable loss

of vinylated allcarbonquaternary centers via Fe-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of vinyl halides with tertiary alkyl methyl oxalates. The reaction displays excellent functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope, which allows cascade radical cyclization and vinylation to afford complex bicyclic and spiral structural motifs. The reaction proceeds via tertiary alkyl radicals, and the putative

The useful conjugated enynes could be easily prepared via low-loading (0.0001 mol %) copper-catalyzed coupling between vinylhalides and terminal alkynes. It is noteworthy that this reaction could be preformed in water without using any co-solvents and the desired 1,3-enynes could be obtained with good yields. In the catalytic reaction, ligand-acceleration effect was markable.
protocol for the construction of 9-(diorganomethylidene)fluorenes through palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of 2-iodobiphenyls with alkenyl bromides has been reported. The reaction proceeds through the C–H activation/oxidative addition/reduction elimination/intramolecular Heck coupling reaction to afford a series of 9-(diorganomethylidene)fluorenes with good yields. Control experiments demonstrate that
