Abstract
Fluorine is an attractive element in the field of pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry due to its unique properties. Considering the chiral environment in nature, where enantiomers often show different biological activities, the introduction of fluorine atom(s) into organic molecules to make chiral fluorinated compounds is an important subject. Herein, we describe the story of the development of our chiral carboxylate-based phase-transfer catalysts and their applications for asymmetric fluorocyclizations of alkenes bearing a carboxylic acid, an amide, and an oxime as an internal nucleophile with a dicationic fluorinating reagent, Selectfluor. We also describe dearomative fluorinations of indole derivatives, 2-naphthols, and resorcinols.

Abstract
Dearomative indole C3-alkylation─intramolecular iminium trapping cascade reaction of indole-C3-tethered nucleophiles is a well-known blueprint for accessing 2,3-fused indolines. In exploring this strategy, synthetic chemists have utilized diverse classes of electrophilic reagents. However, the tethered nucleophiles have mainly been limited to heteronucleophiles and enolates; exploitation of tethered arenes/heteroarenes remains unknown. We herein describe the first examples of pyrrole-intercepted dearomative indole C3-allylation and benzylation of indole-tethered pyrroles toward the synthesis of 2,3-cis-fused tetracyclic indolines featuring a C3 all-carbon quaternary stereocentre. Our methodology capitalizes on the capability of NaOtBu/Et3B combination to direct the intermolecular alkylation to take place regioselectively at the indole C3 position over the other reactive sites (indole N and C2 and pyrrole C2 positions) and leverages the high nucleophilicity of the pyrrole template for the concomitant aza-Friedel-Crafts ring closure that traditionally would require an additional acid-catalyzed synthetic step. This cascade reaction is accomplished with broad substrate scope and excellent yields and chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Enantioselective synthesis of bioactive compounds bearing a pyrroloindole framework is often laborious. In contrast, there are several S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)-dependent methyl transferases known for stereo- and regioselective methylation at the C3 position of various indoles, directly leading to the formation of the desired pyrroloindole moiety. Herein, the SAM-dependent methyl transferase PsmD from Streptomyces griseofuscus, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of physostigmine, is characterized in detail. The biochemical properties of PsmD and its substrate scope were demonstrated. Preparative scale enzymatic methylation including SAM regeneration was achieved for three selected substrates after a design-of-experiment optimization.

Abstract
Pyrroloindolines and related systems are present in a large number of complex natural products. These core structures have generated considerable synthetic interest, as many of the compounds possess challenging, elaborate structures and interesting biological properties. Recently we have focused on using trichloroacetimidates for the synthesis of these fascinating molecules. Trichloroacetimidates can be used as an electrophilic source of an alkyl group to form the pyrroloindoline directly from tryptamine derivatives. In this manner trichloroacetimidates provide a flexible solution to forming highly functionalized pyrroloindoline core structures, needing only a catalytic amount of a Lewis acid to effect the requisite transformations.

Abstract
Different Mannich base derivatives have been studied with the aim of addressing the poor aqueous solubility of the recently disclosed 6-phenethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroazepino[4,3-b]indol-1(6H)-one (1), a human butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor (hBChE, IC50 13 nM) and protective agent in NMDA-induced neurotoxicity, in in vivo assays. The N-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl derivative 2 c showed a 50-fold increase in solubility in pH 7.4-buffered solution, high stability in serum and (half-life >24 h) and rapid (<3 min) conversion to 1 at acidic pH. Although less active than 1, 2 c retained moderate hBChE inhibition (IC50 =3.35 μM) and a significant protective effect against NMDA-induced neurotoxicity at 0.1 μM. Moreover, 2 c resulted a weaker serum albumin binder than 1, could pass the blood-brain barrier, and exerted negligible cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells. These findings suggest that 2 c could be a water-soluble prodrug candidate of 1 for oral administration or a slow-release injectable derivative in in vivoAlzheimer's disease models.

Abstract
In this research, we have implemented two-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (2D-QSAR) modeling using two different datasets, namely, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzyme inhibitors. A third dataset has been derived based on their selectivity and used for the development of partial least squares (PLS) based regression models. The developed models were extensively validated using various internal and external validation parameters. The features appearing in the model against AChE enzyme suggest that a small ring size, higher number of -CH2- groups, higher number of secondary aromatic amines and higher number of aromatic ketone groups may contribute to the inhibitory activity. The features obtained from the model against BuChE enzyme suggest that the sum of topological distances between two nitrogen atoms, higher number of fragments X-C(=X)-X, higher number of secondary aromatic amides, fragment R--CR-X may be more favorable for inhibition. The features obtained from selectivity based model suggest that the number of aromatic ethers, unsaturation content relative to the molecular size and molecular shape may be more specific for the inhibition of the AChE enzyme in comparison to the BuChE enzyme. Moreover, we have implemented the molecular docking studies using the most and least active molecules from the datasets in order to identify the binding pattern between ligand and target enzyme. The obtained information is then correlated with the essential structural features associated with the 2D-QSAR models.

Abstract
Due to the role of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in acetylcholine hydrolysis in the late stages of the Alzheimer's disease (AD), inhibitors of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) have been recently envisaged, besides acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, as candidates for treating mild-to-moderate AD. Herein, synthesis and AChE/BChE inhibition activity of some twenty derivatives of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino[4,3-b]indole (HHAI) is reported. Most of the newly synthesized HHAI derivatives achieved the inhibition of both ChE isoforms with IC50s in the micromolar range, with a structure-dependent selectivity toward BChE. Apparently, molecular volume and lipophilicity do increase selectivity toward BChE, and indeed the N2-(4-phenylbutyl) HHAI derivative 15d, which behaves as a mixed-type inhibitor, resulted the most potent (IC50 0.17 μM) and selective (>100-fold) inhibitor toward either horse serum and human BChE. Moreover, 15d inhibited in vitro self-induced aggregation of neurotoxic amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and displayed neuroprotective effects in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, significantly recovering (P < 0.001) cell viability when impaired by Aβ1-42 and hydrogen peroxide insults. Overall, this study highlighted HHAI as useful and versatile scaffold for developing new small molecules targeting some enzymes and biochemical pathways involved in the pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a serious progressive neurological disorder, characterized by impaired cognition and profound irreversible memory loss. The multifactorial nature of AD and the absence of a cure so far have stimulated medicinal chemists worldwide to follow multitarget drug-design strategies based on repositioning approved drugs. This review describes a summary of recently published works focused on tailoring new derivatives of US FDA-approved acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, in addition to huperzine (a drug approved in China), either by hybridization with other pharmacophore elements (to hit more AD targets), or by combination of two FDA-approved drugs. Besides the capacity for improving the cholinergic activity, these polyfunctional derivatives are also able to tackle other important neuroprotective properties, such as anti-β-amyloid aggregation, scavenging of radical oxygen species, modulation of redox-active metals or inhibition of monoamine oxidase, thereby resulting in potentially novel and more effective therapeutics for the treatment of AD.

Abstract
The synthesis of racemic tetrahydrocurcumin- (THC-), tetrahydrodemethoxycurcumin- (THDC-) and tetrahydrobisdemethoxycurcumin- (THBDC-) dihydropyrimidinone (DHPM) analogues was achieved by utilizing the multi-component Biginelli reaction in the presence of copper sulphate as a catalyst. The evaluation of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for Alzheimer's disease of these compounds showed that they exhibited higher inhibitory activity than their parent analogues. THBDC-DHPM demonstrated the most potent inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.34±0.03μM which was more active than the approved drug galanthamine (IC50=1.45±0.04μM).
