DNA-binding studies of the natural β-carboline eudistomin U
摘要:
Eudistomin U is a member of the beta-carboline class of heterocyclic amine-containing molecules that are capable of binding to DNA. The structure of eudistomin U is unique since it contains an indole ring at the 1-position of the pyridine ring. While simple beta-carbolines are reported to intercalate DNA, an examination of the mode of binding of eudistomin U has been lacking. We report preliminary spectroscopic (UV-Vis, thermal denaturation, CD) and calorimetric (DSC) data on the binding of eudistomin U to DNA, which suggest that eudistomin U binds weakly according to a mechanism that is more complicated than other members of its class.

Reductive Pictet Spengler cyclization was used for the synthesis of naturally occurring β-carbolines, eudistomin U, and canthine. Other biologically important β-carbolines as well as tetrahydro-β-carboline, such as (±)-harmicine were also synthesized using the same strategy.
Visible light mediated selective oxidation of alcohols and oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles using scalable and reusable La-doped NiWO<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles
A systematic study led to a selective synthesis of aldehydes under an argon atmosphere while the ODH of partially saturated heterocycles under an oxygen atmosphere resulted in very good to excellent yields. The methodology is atom economical and exhibits excellent tolerance towards various functional groups, and broad substrate scope. Furthermore, a one-pot procedure was developed for the sequential

Temperature controlled chemoselective dehydrogenation and aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines, using molecular I2 and H2O2, in DMSO solvent affords a practical access to a series of corresponding 3,4-dihydro-β-carbolines and β-carbolines respectively. This method has been successfully employed in the short synthesis of Kumujian-C, Eudistomin-U, Norharmane Harmane Harmalan and Isoeudistomin-M.

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
