Regioselective synthesis and evaluation of 2-amino 3-cyano chromene-chrysin hybrids as potential anticancer agents
摘要:
The first example of Ca(OH)(2)-activated p-regioselective synthesis of chrysin-fused chromene was reported through a cascade Michael/cyclization of chrysin and arylidenemalononitrile. The newly synthesized structurally diverse 2-amino 3-cyano chromene-chrysin hybrids 3 were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity, and some of the compounds showed stronger anti-proliferative activity against K562, PC-3, A549 and NCI-H1299 than parent compound chrysin, and demonstrated equipotent potency compared with the reference drug of cisplatin. In particular, compound 3h had the highest cytotoxicity towards K562 cells (IC50 = 6.41 mu M). Furthermore, compound 3h induced apoptosis of K562 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, as well as induced the apoptosis possibly through promoting the formation of apoptotic DNA of cancer cell via the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Thus, our results provide in vitro evidence that compound 3h may be a potential candidate for the development of new anti-tumour drugs.

and benign catalysts were used for the Knoevenagelcondensation reaction. Among the compounds (Mo2C, MoS2, MoB, MoSi2), molybdenum carbide showed efficient performance for the Knoevenagelcondensation in aqueous media at room temperature, affording the corresponding products in high yields within a short reaction time. Notably, using this commercially available heterogeneous catalyst, the deaceta
Unlike previous approaches, our synthesis of the catalytically relevant (tetragonal and/or cubic) phase of this material did not require (i) an annealing step to stabilize the tetragonal phase, or (ii) the inclusion of dopants. Furthermore, these high surface area tetragonal zirconia nanoparticles showed a good catalytic activity towards the Knoevenagelcondensation.
three-component coupling of allylstannane, allyl chloride and a functionalized diene is described. Regioselective 1,4-functionalization of the Michael acceptor 1,3-diene is accomplished by the amphiphilicbis-π-allylpalladiumcomplex. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a functionalized 1,3-butadiene has been used as a Michael acceptor. The scope of the present strategy is further extended to 1

oxygen, a radical addition/cyclization reaction occurred which resulted in the formation of tetrahydroquinoline derivatives in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The intramolecular version of the radical addition led to the unexpected formation of indole-3-carboxaldehyde derivatives. Mechanistic investigations of this reaction cascade uncovered a new photoredoxcatalyzed C-C bond cleavage reaction
A metal-free, atom and redox-economical approach for the assembly of C–C bonds has been developed using oligofluorene-based hypercrosslinked polymers as the recoverable and reusable photocatalysts under visible-light irradiation.
