A new concise and facile method was explored to synthesize a series of novel chalcone derivatives containing a purine and benzenesulfonamide moiety and their antiviral properties were evaluated against TMV and CMV. Biological assays indicated that several of the derivatives exhibited significant anti-TMV and anti-CMV activities in vivo. In particular, compound d2 displayed excellent inactivating activity against TMV, with the EC50 value of 51.65 mu g/mL, which was better than that of ribavirin (150.45 mu g/mL). Molecular docking showed that there are four hydrogen bonds between compound d2 and TMV coat protein (TMV-CP). Compound d2 demonstrated strong binding capacity to TMV-CP with K-a = 1.58 x 10(5) L/mol and K-d = 12.16 mu M. These findings indicated that chalcone derivatives are worthy of further research and development as templates for new antiviral agents. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Discovery and structure-activity relationship of novel 4-hydroxy-thiazolidine-2-thione derivatives as tumor cell specific pyruvate kinase M2 activators
Pyruvate kinase M2 isoform (PKM2) is a crucial protein responsible for aerobic glycolysis of cancer cells. Activation of PKM2 may alter aberrant metabolism in cancer cells. In this study, we discovered a 4-hydroxy-thiazolidine-2-thione compound 2 as a novel PKM2 activator from a random screening of an in-house compound library. Then a series of novel 4-hydroxy-thiazolidine-2-thione derivatives were designed and synthesized for screening as potent PKM2 activators. Among these, some compounds showed higher PKM2 activation activity than lead compound 2 and also exhibited significant anti proliferative activities on human cancer cell lines at nanomolar concentration. The compound 5w was identified as the most potent antitumor agent, which showed excellent anti-proliferative effects with IC50 values from 0.46 mu M to 0.81 mu M against H1299, HCT116, Hela and PC3 cell lines. 5w also showed less cytotoxicity in non-tumor cell line HELF compared with cancer cells. In addition, Preliminary pharmacological studies revealed that 5w arrests the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in HCT116 cell line. The best PKM2 activation by compound 5t was rationalized through docking studies. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
Intramolecular Arylation of 2‐Bromobenzenesulfonamides Using DMSO/HCOONa ⋅ 2H

O System: An Access To Dibenzosultams
Six- or seven-membered dibenzosultams were synthesized upon treatment of N-aryl- or N-benzyl-2-halobenzenesulfonamides with HCOONa ⋅ 2H2O in DMSO without using additional measures and additives, such as light irradiation, electrochemical apparatus, transition metals, and oxidants. Further functionalization of the free NH group of the resultant dibenzosultams demonstrates the synthetic practicability
在 DMSO 中用 HCOONa·2H 2 O 处理N-芳基-或N-苄基-2-卤代苯磺酰胺后合成了六元或七元二苯磺胺,而无需使用额外的措施和添加剂,例如光照射、电化学装置、过渡金属、和氧化剂。所得二苯并磺胺的游离 NH 基团的进一步官能化证明了该方法的合成实用性。
