The present invention relates to indole derivatives of formula (I) and Formula (II) which possess potent antiprion activity and stem cell proliferative properties. The invention also relates to the use of such compounds to treat prion-related diseases and in stem cell therapies.
Synthesis of α-ketoamides using potassium superoxide (KO2) as an oxidizing agent
A simple and convenient method for the synthesis of α-ketoamides by the oxidation of aryl acetamides using potassium superoxide (KO2) as an oxidizingagent is disclosed here. The scope of the developed method is successfully tested with fifteen substrates. In addition, the utility of method has been demonstrated by synthesizing an orexin receptor antagonist, a medicinally interesting compound.
