Potent 1,3-disubstituted-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles as new lead compounds in antifilarial chemotherapy1CDRI Communication No. 5795.1
摘要:
Substituted 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (beta-carbolines) identified in our laboratory as potential pharmacophore for designing macrofilaricidal agents, have been explored further for identifying the pharmacophore responsible for high order of adulticidal activity. This has led to syntheses and macrofilaricidal evaluations of a number of 1-aryl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxyl derivatives (3-7). The macrofilarical activity was initially evaluated in vivo against Acanthoeilonema viteae. Amongst all the synthesized compounds, only twelve compounds namely 3a, 3c, 3d, 3f, 4c, 4d, 4f, 5a, 6f, 6h, 6i and 7h have exhibited either > 90% micro- or macrofilaricidal activity or sterilization of female worms. These compounds have also been screened against Litomosoides carinii and of these only 3f and 5a have also been found to be active. Finally these two compounds have been evaluated against Brugia malayi. The structure activity relationship (SAR) associated with position-1 and 3 substituents in beta-carbolines have been discussed. It has been observed that the presence of carbomethoxy at position-3 and an aryl substituent at position-1 in beta-carbolines effectively enhance antifilarial activity particularly against A. viteae. Amongst the various compounds screened, methyl 1-(4-methylphenyl)-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylate (4c) has shown highest adulticidal activity and methyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylate (3a) has shown highest microfilaricidal action against A. viteae at 50mg/ kgx5 days (ip). Another derivative of this compound namely 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (5a) exhibited highest activity against L. carinii at 30 mg/kg x 5 days (ip) and against B. malayi at 50 mg/kg x 5 days (ip) or at 200 mg/ kgx5 days (po).

Reusable, homogeneous water soluble photoredox catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles in a biphasic system: application to the synthesis of biologically active natural products
the substrate and catalyst at room temperature. Its potential applications to organic transformations are demonstrated by the synthesis of various biologically active N-heterocycles such as indoles, (iso)quinolines and β-carbolines and natural products such as eudistominU, norharmane, and harmane and precursors to perlolyrine and flazin. Without isolation and purification, the catalyst solution can
In the present work, a practicalsynthesis of 1-aryl-β-carboline-3-carbaldehydes as versatile building blocks and their application in Biginelli reaction is reported. The starting material of the four-step synthesis is racemic tryptophan methyl ester. The procedure involves a Pictet–Spengler cyclization, a dehydrogenation, an ester reduction, and an alcohol oxidation step. The β-carboline-3-carbaldehydes
A convenient and efficient metal free, atom economical flexible synthesis of β-carbolines involving a domino Pictet-Spengler reaction and aromatization in oxygen atmosphere in N-methyl-2-pyrollidone (NMP) is described. Variety of aryl, heteroaryl and aliphatic aldehydes were found to be good substrates for this methodology. Several β-carbolines (6a-6t) and β-carboline methylesters (7a-7e) were synthesized

Abstract A mild and efficient nBu4NBr-mediated oxidative cycloaromatization to prepare β-carbolines from readily available tryptophans and aldehydes is described. The reaction is practical and allows the synthesis of β-carbolines on gram-scale. Some of products crystallized from the reaction mixture and were easily removed by filtration, obviating the need for chromatographic separation.
