[PMID: 34702157 DOI: 10.2174/1871520621666211026102307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Tubulin inhibitors have proved to be a promising treatment against cancer. Tubulin inhibitors target different areas in microtubule structure to exert their effects. The colchicine binding site (CBS) is one of them for which there is no FDA-approved drug yet. This makes CBS a desirable target for drug design. MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary virtual screening is done by developing a possible pharmacophore model of colchicine binding site inhibitors of tubulins, and 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline is chosen as a lead compound to synthesis. In this study, 28 derivatives of 2,3-diphenylquinoxalines are synthesized, and their cytotoxicity is evaluated by the MTT assay in different human cancer cell lines, including AGS (Adenocarcinoma gastric cell line), HT-29 (Human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line), NIH3T3 (Fibroblast cell line), and MCF-7 (Human breast cancer cell). RESULTS Furthermore, the activity of the studied compounds was investigated using computational methods involving molecular docking of the 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline derivatives to β-tubulin. The results showed that the compounds with electron donor functionalities in positions 2 and 3 and electron-withdrawing groups in position 6 are the most active tubulin inhibitors. CONCLUSION Apart from the high activity of the synthesized compounds, the advantage of this report is the ease of the synthesis, work-up, and isolation of the products in safe, effective, and high-quality isolated yields.

Abstract
A mild and efficient visible-light-induced synthesis of C-3 dicarbonyl coumarins from 3-arylacetylene coumarins without a photocatalyst was reported. This iodide-mediated method exhibited broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, and a series of C-3 dicarbonyl coumarins were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. Based on the control experimental results, it was found that the visible-light-induced oxidation might be via both radical and ionic processes. Moreover, some synthesized compounds displayed high sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with a low detection limit (DL, down to 0.149 μM).

Chemistry 2021; 27:9774-9781.

Abstract
A gold‐catalyzed cycloisomerization of 2‐indolyl‐3‐[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)]quinoxalines with concomitant 1,2‐silyl shift forms 6‐(trimethylsilyl)indolo[3,2‐a]phenazines in moderate to excellent yield. These silylated heterocycles are readily transformed into 6‐aryl‐indolo[3,2‐a]phenazines in moderate to good yield by one‐pot ipso‐iodination Suzuki coupling. The title compounds represent a novel type of tunable luminophore. Structure‐property relationships for 6‐aryl‐indolo[3,2‐a]phenazines obtained from Hammett correlations with σp+ substituent parameters indicate that emission maxima, Stokes shifts, and fluorescence quantum yields can be fine‐tuned by the remote para‐aryl substituent. Furthermore, indolo[3,2‐a]phenazines were found to exhibit interesting activities against medically relevant pathogens such as the Apicomplexa parasite Toxoplasma gondii with an IC50 of up to 0.67±0.13 μM. Thus, these compounds are promising candidates for novel anti‐parasitic therapies.

Abstract
A diverse set of unsymmetrically substituted benzils were facilely synthesised by a cross-coupling reaction between 2-hydroxyacetophenones and aryl bromides in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Experimental studies suggested a reaction mechanism involving a one-pot tandem palladium-catalysed α-arylation and oxidation, where aryl bromides play a dual role as mild oxidants as well as arylating agents.
