Abstract
Unsymmetric organic semiconductors have many advantages such as good solubility, rich intermolecular interactions for potential various optoelectronic applications. However, their synthesis is more challenging due to intricate structures thus normally suffering tedious synthesis. Herein, we report a trisulfur radical anion (S3⋅-) triggered domino thienannulation strategy for the synthesis of dibenzo[d,d']thieno[2,3-b;4,5-b']dithiophenes (DBTDTs) using readily available 1-halo-2-ethynylbenzenes as starting materials. This domino protocol features no metal catalyst and the formation of six C-S and one C-C bonds in a one-pot reaction. Mechanistic study revealed a unique domino radical anion pathway. Single crystal structure analysis of unsymmetric DBTDT shows that its unique unsymmetric structure endows rich and multiple weak S⋅⋅⋅S interactions between molecules, which enables the large intermolecular transfer integrals of 86 meV and efficient charge transport performance with a carrier mobility of 1.52 cm2 V-1 s-1. This study provides a facile and highly efficient synthetic strategy for more high-performance unsymmetric organic semiconductors.

Design, synthesis, and SAR study of novel flavone 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives with anti-inflammatory activities for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 255:115417. [PMID: 37137246 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115417] [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: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
Inflammation is one of a major feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) which poses a threat to people's health in the world. It has been reported that antioxidation and anti-inflammation have significant effects on the treatment of PD. 1,2,4-oxadiazole and flavone derivatives have remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In order to find highly effective drugs for PD treatment, based on the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole pharmacophore and the flavonoid pharmacophore, we designed and synthesized a novel series of 3-methyl-8-(3-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives by pharmacophore combination, and evaluated their anti-inflammatory and antioxidation activities for PD treatment. Preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis was conducted by their inhibitory activities against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NO release in LPS-induced BV2 Microglia cells, and the optimal compound Flo8 exhibited the most potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Both in vivo and in vitro results showed that Flo8 inhibited neuronal apoptosis by inhibiting inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathways. In vivo studies also showed that the compound Flo8 ameliorated motor and behavioral deficits and increased serum dopamine levels in MPTP-induced PD model mice. Taken together, this study demonstrated the compound Flo8 could be a promising agent for the treatment of PD.

Abstract
The underlying correlation between the inflammation, innate immunity and cancer is extensively familiar and linked through a process mediated by three enzymes; cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450). The ever increase in the reported side effects of the antiinflammatory drugs against the targeted enzymes and the resistance developed afterwards compels the researchers to synthesize new effective molecules with safer profile. On the basis of these facts, our ongoing research on 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives deals with the synthesis of a new series of N-alkyl/aralky/aryl derivatives of 5-((p-tolyloxymethyl)-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-ylthio)acetamide (6a-o) which were developed by the sequential conversion of p-tolyloxyacetic acid (a) into ester (1) hydrazide (2) and 5-(p-tolyloxymethyl)-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (3). The designed compounds (6a-o) were acquired by the reaction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole (3) with numerous electrophiles (5a-o) in KOH. The synthesized analogues (6a-o) were characterized by FTIR, 1H-, 13C NMR spectroscopy, EI-MS and HR-EI-MS spectrometry, and were further assessed for their inhibitory potential against the soybean 15-LOX enzyme. The results showed excellent inhibitory potential of the compounds against the said enzyme, specifically 6o, 6b, 6n and 6e with inhibitory values (IC50 ± SEM) of 21.5 ± 0.76, 24.3 ± 0.45, 29.1 ± 0.65 and 31.3 ± 0.78 µM, respectively. These compounds displayed < 55 % blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) cellular viability as measured by MTT assay at 0.25 mM concentration. Other compounds demonstrated moderate inhibitory activities with IC50 values in the range of 33.2 ± 0.78 to 96.3 ± 0.73 µM and exhibited little cellular viability against MNCs except 6i, 6j, 6 m and 6 k that showed 61-79 % cellular viability. It was observed that most of the compounds (6o, 6b, 6n, 6e) were found more toxic towards MNCs at studied concentration of 0.25 mM. SAR studies revealed that the positions and nature of substituents accompanying phenyl ring have great influence on 15-LOX inhibitory activity. In the most active compound 6o, the amino acids Asp768 and Val126 were involved in hydrogen bonding, Thr529 was linked with π-anion interaction and π-sulphur interaction was displayed with Tyr525 and two π-alkyl interactions were formed with the benzene ring and amino acid residues Pro530 and Arg533. The in silico pharmacokinetics profiles and density functional theory calculations of the compounds further supported the in vitro findings. Further work on the synthesis of more oxadiazole derivatives is in progress in search for potential 'leads' for the drug discovery as LOX inhibitors.
