Optimization of 3-(phenylthio)quinolinium compounds against opportunistic fungal pathogens
摘要:
Ring-opened benzothieno[3,2-b]quinolinium salts (3) were designed and synthesized with substitution on the thiophene moiety. In vitro screenings were carried out against fungal pathogens including Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei and Aspergillus fumigatus. In all, by replacing the N-methyl group (2) with N-omega-phenylpentyl or omega-cyclohexylpentyl group to form substituted 3-(phenylthio)quinolinium compounds produced remarkable potencies, as high as 300-fold (cf. cryptolepine (1) = 250 mu g/mL vs lip = 0.8 mu g/mL for C. albicans) over the starting tetracyclic parent. In addition, all the N-omega-cyclohexylpentyl analogs produced superior activity against all the microorganisms tested than the N-omega-phenylpentyl substituted compounds. The potential of these compounds to induce toxicity in Vero cells was also investigated and the majority of them showed lower or no cytotoxicity at 10 mu g/mL than amphotericin B. the gold standard in antifungal drug development. For instance, the trifluoromethyl substituted analogs (11n-p) have selectivity indices over 2-fold better than those of amphotericin B in C. neoformans. Overall, this ring-opened scafford of benzothienoquinolines, with substitution on the thiophenyl moiety, serves as a new lead for further development. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed coupling reactions are useful tools for synthesizing aryl sulfur compounds. However, conventional transition‐metal‐catalyzed thiolation of aryl bromides and chlorides typically requires the use of strong base under elevated reaction temperature. Herein, we report the first examples of nickel‐catalyzed electrochemical thiolation of aryl bromides and chlorides in the absence
Visible-Light-Driven Halogen-Bond-Assisted Direct Synthesis of Heteroaryl Thioethers Using Transition-Metal-Free One-Pot C–I Bond Formation/C–S Cross-Coupling Reaction
involves two sequential reactions in a single pot where the formation of the iodinated heteroarene is followed by a transition-metal-free C–S coupling reaction. A wide range of heteroarene and thiol partners (including aliphatic thiols) have been used for the synthesis of thioethers. NMR studies and DFT calculations revealed the presence of a halogen bond between the thiolateanion (halogen bond acceptor)

Disclosed is a mild, scalable, visible-light-promotedcross-couplingreaction between thiols and aryl halides for the construction of C-S bonds in the absence of both transition metal and photoredox catalysts. The scope of aryl halides and thiol partners includes over 60 examples and therefore provides an entry point into various aryl thioether building blocks of pharmaceutical interest. Furthermore

In one aspect, the invention provides a method of promoting a carbon-sulfur bond forming reaction. In certain embodiments, the reaction comprises cross-coupling of a(n) (hetero)aryl halide with a thiol to form the carbon-sulfur bond, wherein the method is promoted by light irradiation in the absence of a photocatalyst. In other embodiments, the cross-coupling reaction can be promoted through visible light irradiation, including sunlight.
