Synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-arylbenzofuran derivatives as potential anti-Alzheimer’s disease agents
摘要:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a type of progressive dementia caused by degeneration of the nervous system. A single target drug usually does not work well. Therefore, multi-target drugs are designed and developed so that one drug can specifically bind to multiple targets to ensure clinical effectiveness and reduce toxicity. We synthesised a series of 2-arylbenzofuran derivatives and evaluated their in vitro activities. 2-Arylbenzofuran compounds have good dual cholinesterase inhibitory activity and β-secretase inhibitory activity. The IC50 value of compound 20 against acetylcholinesterase inhibition (0.086 ± 0.01 µmol·L-1) is similar to donepezil (0.085 ± 0.01 µmol·L-1) and is better than baicalein (0.404 ± 0.04 µmol·L-1). And most of the compounds have good BACE1 inhibitory activity, of which 3 compounds (8, 19 and 20) show better activity than baicalein (0.087 ± 0.03 µmol·L-1). According to experimental results, 2-arylbenzofuran compounds provide an idea for drug design to develop prevention and treatment for AD.

An intermolecular addition of carbon radicals enabled by a cascade radical coupling strategy is developed. It includes an intermolecular alkyl radical addition to a carbonyl group followed by an intramolecular alkoxy radical addition to haloarenes and produces substituted benzofurans in high yields. The radical nature of this reaction is explored by radical trapping experiments and EPR analysis. The

to construct substituted fused furans and naphthofurans from readily available starting materials under mild reaction conditions. The utility of the method is further demonstrated by the synthesis of chiral furans from (R)‐(−)‐carvone and (S)‐(+)‐carvone. A plausible mechanism involving the oxidative radical cyclization has been suggested based on experimental observations.

An unprecedented PTSA-promoted furan annulation and aromatization in one pot has been developed. This process offers a simple and efficient synthetic route for the construction of various highly substituted benzo[b]furan derivatives, which are widely used not only in drug active molecules but also organic semiconductor and organic light-emitting devices. The preliminary mechanism study indicated this

Hydrazone–Pd-catalyzed direct intermolecular reaction of <i>o</i>-alkynylphenols with allylic acetates
We found that the hydrazone–Pd-catalyzed direct intermolecular reaction of o-alkynylphenols with allylic acetates afforded the corresponding 2-substituted-3-allylbenzofuran derivatives. This reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature using a hydrazone–Pd catalyst system.
