Novel Tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]isoindolone Derivatives (Valmerins): Potent Cyclin-Dependent Kinase/Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Inhibitors with Antiproliferative Activities and Antitumor Effects in Human Tumor Xenografts
摘要:
The development of CDK and GSK3 inhibitors has been regarded as a potential therapeutic approach, and a substantial number-of-diverse structures have been reported to inhibit CDKs and GSK-3 beta. in recent years. Only a few molecules have gone through or are currently undergoing clinical trials as CDK and GSK inhibitors. In this paper, we prepared valmerins, a new family containing the tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]isoindone core. The fused heterocycle was prepared with a straightforward synthesis that was functionalized by a (het)arylurea. Twelve valmerins inhibited the CDK5 and GSK3 with an IC50 < 100 nM. A semiquantitative kinase scoring was realized, and a cellular screening was done. At the end of study, we investigated the in vivo potency of one valmerin. Mice exhibited good tolerance to our lead, which proved its efficacy and clearly blocked tumor growth. Valmerins appear also as good candidates: for further development as anticancer agents.

A novel method for the asymmetric synthesis of 2-substituted indolines, employing bifunctional amino(thio)urea catalysts, was developed. The reaction proceeded via an intramolecular aza-Michael addition mediated by activation through hydrogen bonding. The catalytic process was shown to be highly versatile and applicable to a wide range of substrates due to the flexible catalytic mechanism utilizing a noncovalent interaction.

Electrochemical Synthesis of Imidazo-Fused N-Heteroaromatic Compounds through a C−N Bond-Forming Radical Cascade
We have developed a unified strategy for preparing a variety of imidazo‐fused N‐heteroaromatic compoundsthrough regiospecific electrochemical (3+2) annulation reaction of heteroarylamines with tethered internal alkynes. The electrosynthesis employs a novel tetraarylhydrazine as the catalyst, has a broad substrate scope, and obviates the need for transition‐metal catalysts and oxidizing reagents.
