Synthesis and anti-norovirus activity of pyranobenzopyrone compounds
摘要:
During the last decade, noroviruses have gained media attention as the cause of large scale outbreaks of gastroenteritis on cruise ships, dormitories, nursing homes, etc. Although noroviruses do not multiply in food or water, they can cause large outbreaks because approximately 10-100 virions are sufficient to cause illness in a healthy adult. Recently, it was shown that the activity of acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 (ACAT1) enzyme may be important in norovirus infection. In search of anti-noroviral agents based on the inhibition of ACAT1, we synthesized and evaluated the inhibitory activities of a class of pyranobenzopyrone molecules containing amino, pyridine, substituted quinolines, or 7,8-benzoquinoline nucleus. Three of the sixteen evaluated compounds possess ED50 values in the low micrometer range. 2-Quinolylmethyl derivative 3A and 4-quinolylmethyl derivative 4A showed ED50 values of 3.4 and 2.4 mu M and TD50 values of >200 and 96.4 mu M, respectively. The identified active compounds are suitable for further modification for the development of anti-norovirus agents. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A mild, practical method for direct arylation of unactivated C(sp3)–H bonds with heteroarenes has been achieved via photochemistry. Selectfluor is used as a hydrogen atom transfer reagent under visible light irradiation. A diverse range of chemical feedstocks, such as alkanes, ketones, esters, and ethers, and complex molecules readily undergo intermolecular C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond formation. Moreover, a

The sustainable cross-dehydrogenative coupling of strong C(sp(3))-H with N-heteroarenes has been developed using an efficient organic photocatalyst. It features atomic- and step-economy, and acid-free conditions. Mechanism studies suggest a previous elusive energy transfer pathway from photocatalyst to N-heteroarenes and oxidants.
