Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed reaction of indolines with 1-acyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles or 1-acyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrroles in air produces N-alkylated indoles. A combination of Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2 and dppf effectively catalyzes the reaction of 1-acyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles, and the combination of Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2 and dcypf is more effective for the reaction of 1-acyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrroles. The method has a wide scope of substrates and shows good compatibility of functional groups.

Abstract
The current study involves the synthesis of Schiff bases based on 1,2,4-triazoles skeleton and assessing their α-amylase and α-glucosidase profile. Furthermore, the precise structures of the synthesized derivatives were elucidated using various spectroscopic methods such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HREI-MS. Using glimepiride as the reference standard, the in vitro α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in order to determine their potential anti-diabetic properties. All analogues showed varied range of inhibitory activity having IC50 values ranging from 17.09 ± 0.72 to 45.34 ± 0.03 μM (α-amylase) and 16.35 ± 0.42 to 42.31 ± 0.09 μM (α-glucosidase), respectively. Specifically, the compounds 1, 7 and 8 were found to be significantly active with IC50 values of 17.09 ± 0.72, 19.73 ± 0.42, and 23.01 ± 0.04 μM (against α-amylase) and 16.35 ± 0.42, 18.55 ± 0.26, and 20.07 ± 0.02 μM (against α-glucosidase) respectively. The obtained results were compared with the Glimepiride reference drug having IC50 values of 13.02 ± 0.11 μM (for α-glucosidase) and 15.04 ± 0.02 μM (for α-amylase), respectively. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies were conducted based on differences in substituent patterns at varying position of aryl rings A and B may cause to alter the inhibitory activities of both α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. Additionally, the molecular docking study was carried out to explore the binding interactions possessed by most active analogues with the active sites of targeted α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes.

Abstract
A new selective synthetic approach to indole derivatives bearing a tetrazole moiety has been developed. Arynes, generated in situ from o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates and KF, reacted smoothly with 2-(2-benzyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2H-azirines to give 3-(2-benzyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-indole derivatives with high selectivity. Deprotection of the tetrazole moiety gave 3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-indole derivatives.

Abstract
The thioredoxin system is essential for many physiological processes, including the maintenance of redox signalling pathways. Alterations in the activity, expression and interactions with other signalling pathways can lead to protective or pathophysiological responses. Thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase, the two main components of this system, are often overexpressed in cancer, including colorectal cancer. This overexpression is often linked with tumour progression and poor outcomes. This review discusses the role of the Trx system in driving colorectal carcinogenesis and disease progression, as well as the challenges of targeting this system. Additionally, the recent advancements in the development of novel and effective thioredoxin inhibitors for colorectal cancer are also explored.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance and the scarcity of novel antibacterial agents have necessitated an urgent pursuit for the discovery and development of novel antibacterial agents against multidrug-resistant bacteria. This study involved the design and synthesis of series of novel indole-benzosulfonamide oleanolic acid (OA) derivatives, in which the indole and benzosulfonamide pharmacophores were introduced into the OA skeleton semisynthetically. These target OA derivatives show antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus strains in vitro and in vivo. Among them, derivative c17 was the most promising antibacterial agent while compared with the positive control of norfloxacin, especially against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro. In addition, derivative c17 also showed remarkable efficacy against MRSA-infected murine skin model, leading to a significant reduction of bacterial counts during this in vivo study. Furthermore, some preliminary studies indicated that derivative c17 could effectively inhibit and eradicate the biofilm formation, disrupt the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane. Moreover, derivative c17 showed low hemolytic activity and low toxicity to mammalian cells of NIH 3T3 and HEK 293T. These aforementioned findings strongly support the potential of novel indole-benzosulfonamide OA derivatives as anti-MRSA agents.

Abstract
3,4-bridged indoles are underrepresented among the vast number of indoles described in the literature. Attempts to access 3,4-macrocyclized indoles led to the unexpected formation of a novel tetracyclic indole through intramolecular acid-catalyzed ring contraction. The herein-established one-step synthetic route provides an excellent medicinal chemistry platform for the construction of screening libraries covering a unique chemical space of indoles.

Abstract
Centromere protein A (CENP-A), a histone H3 variant specific to centromeres, is crucial for kinetochore positioning and chromosome segregation. However, its regulatory mechanism in human cells remains incompletely understood. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of the cell-cycle-arresting indole terpenoid mimic JP18 leads to the discovery of two more potent analogs, (+)-6-Br-JP18 and (+)-6-Cl-JP18. Tubulin is identified as a potential cellular target of these halogenated analogs by using the drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) based method. X-ray crystallography analysis reveals that both molecules bind to the colchicine-binding site of β-tubulin. Treatment of human cells with microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs), including these two compounds, results in CENP-A accumulation by destabilizing Cdh1, a co-activator of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) E3 ubiquitin ligase. This study establishes a link between microtubule dynamics and CENP-A accumulation using small-molecule tools and highlights the role of Cdh1 in CENP-A proteolysis.

Abstract
A convenient methodology for C-4 indole-β-lactam hybrids with chloro, sulphur and seleno substitutions through dual site reactivity of indole-3-Schiff bases towards ketenes has been developed. The reaction proceeded in a stereospecific manner with the exclusive formation of trans-β-lactams assigned with respect to C3-H and C4-H. The synthesized novel β-lactams have been characterized with the help of elemental analysis (CHNS) and spectroscopic techniques viz.1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT 135, HSQC and IR. The trans configuration was further estabilished based on X-ray crystallographic data. Examination of antibacterial properties unveiled that only derivatives 5a and 5b, featuring chloro substitution, exhibited potent activities, underscoring the emergence of the recently coined term "magic chloro effect". Molecular docking analysis provided additional support for the observed in vitro antibacterial activities of compounds 5a-b.

Abstract
In this communication, an innovative and straightforward protocol for the one-pot catalytic synthesis of bis(indolyl)pyrimidine derivatives and their DNA binding abilities is presented. The synthesis involves the condensation of indole with diverse substituted pyrimidine-5-carbaldehydes, employing cost-effective and reusable Sr-Al supported nanophosphors, specifically strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4), as a catalyst. In particular, this method does not require the use of toxic solvents. The Sr-Al supported nanophosphorus catalyst exhibited sustained activity over multiple cycles and showed no significant decline while maintaining its strictly heterogeneous properties. The bis(indolyl)pyrimidine derivatives were extensively characterized using spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Furthermore, the interaction between these derivatives and CT-DNA was investigated by absorption spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, and in silico molecular docking studies. Photoinduced cleavage studies demonstrated the photonuclease activity of the compound against pUC19 DNA upon exposure to UV-visible radiation.

Abstract
Herein, the development of a light-mediated synthesis of functionalized indolines and tetrahydroquinolines is reported. These structural motifs are considered as highly valuable targets, attributed to their widespread occurrence in pharmaceuticals and natural products. The gold-mediated approach offers a direct route to functionalized indolines in yields of up to 81% under mild photochemical conditions. Thereby, easily accessible Boc-protected N-aryl-allylamine and homoallylamine derivatives were reacted with sp3-hybridized haloalkanes in an intermolecular cascade cyclization reaction. A broad scope of substrates, including a variety of different substituents on the aromatic backbone as well as various haloalkanes, could be utilized. Indoline derivatives, which are functionalized in position 2, are also accessible by applying ortho-allylic anilines. Moreover, the synthetic appeal was demonstrated for a total synthesis of the anti-inflammatory agent AN669 in three reaction steps in an overall yield of 64%.

Abstract
Malaria caused by P. falciparum, has been recognized as one of the major infectious diseases causing the death of several patients as per the reports from the World Health Organization. In search of effective therapeutic agents against malaria, several research groups have started working on the design and development of novel heterocycles as anti-malarial agents. Heterocycles have been recognized as the pharmacophoric features for the different types of medicinally important activities. Among all these heterocycles, nitrogen containing aza-heterocycles should not be underestimated owing to their wide therapeutic window. Amongst the aza-heterocycles, indoles and fused indoles such as marinoquinolines, isocryptolepines and their regioisomers, manzamines, neocryptolenines, and indolones have been recognized as anti-malarial agents active against P. falciparum. The present work unleashes the synthetic attempts of anti-malarial indoles and fused indoles through cyclocondensation, Fischer-indole synthesis, etc. along with the brief discussions on structure-activity relationships, in vitro or in vivo studies for the broader interest of these medicinal chemists, working on their design and development as potential anti-malarial agents.

Abstract
"Aggregation-caused quenching" is a deep-seated mechanism and has been widely used by the researchers as the possible basis for new sensor development. Contrast to aggregation, its turn around process, disaggregation, has gained much less consideration so far. Unfortunately, study of the further scope for reaggregation of the disaggregated probe assembly in the same solution, as and when required, is still under the rare category. The central theme of the current study is focused on this aspect. For this purpose, the effects of headgroup charge (cationic, anionic, and nonionic) and polarity of the micelles on the degree of disaggregation and subsequent emission amelioration of a synthesized bis-indole derivative, 3,3'-bisindolyl(phenyl)methane (BIPM), are studied using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. The relative emission yield of BIPM (φf = 0.01) is significantly enhanced in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (φf = 0.21) and polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate (φf = 0.24), whereas comparatively less emission enhancement is recorded within the sodium dodecyl sulfate system (φf = 0.07). In contrast, addition of an external biophilic agent, uric acid, causes requenching of the enhanced emission because of the reaggregation of the disaggregated probes. Detailed microscopic and calorimetric studies are also adopted to investigate the disaggregation-reaggregation mechanism of BIPM associations. The study will provide prior insights about the use of suitable micellar systems for the required degree of disaggregation as well as for the modulation of emission efficiency by controlled tuning of the disaggregation-reaggregation equilibrium for similar probe associations in pure aqueous medium avoiding any chemical transformation.

Abstract
A straight and efficient protocol for the synthesis of hindered indole-ethers via C-H alkoxylation of indoles was developed by a cobalt-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction with secondary alcohols. The selection of the salicylaldehyde-Co(II) catalyst enables the reaction to proceed under conditions without acid or base addition in the presence of limited alcohols. The protocol has broad substrate scope for both indole and secondary alcohols and exhibits good functional tolerance. The synthetic applications are proven by gram-scale reaction and further diversification of the product. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that the activation of C-H bonds is not the rate-determining step of the reaction.

Abstract
The increasing role of the DNA-encoded library technology in early phase drug discovery represents a significant demand for DNA-compatible synthetic methods for therapeutically relevant heterocycles. Herein, we report the first on-DNA synthesis of multisubstituted indoles via a cascade reaction of Sonogashira coupling and intramolecular ring closure. Further functionalization by Suzuki coupling at the third position exploits a diverse chemical space. The high fidelity of the method also enabled the construction of an indole-based mock library.

Abstract
Indoles are privileged chemical entities in natural products and drug discovery. Indole-fused heterocycles, particularly seven-membered ones, have received increasing attention due to their distinctive chemical characteristics and wide spectrum of bioactivities. However, the synthetic access to these compounds is highly limited. Herein, we report a unique multicomponent reaction (MCR) for modular assembly of indole-fused seven-membered heterocycles. In this process, indole, formaldehyde and amino hydrochloride could assemble rapidly to yield indole-fused oxadiazepines, and another addition of sodium thiosulphate would furnish indole-fused thiadiazepines. The biological evaluation disclosed the promising anticancer activity of these compounds. Furthermore, this MCR could be applicable in the late-stage and selective modifications of peptides. Therefore, this work provides a powerful strategy for indole functionalization and valuable tool for construction of seven-membered heterocycles.

Abstract
Indoles are the most versatile organic N-heterocyclic compounds widely present in bioactive natural products and used in different fields such as coordination chemistry, pharmacy, dyes, and medicine, as well as in the biology and polymer industries. More recently, the indole scaffold has been widely used in analytical chemistry for the design and development of small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors in the fields of molecular recognition and molecular imaging. The indole-based chemosensor derivatives contain heteroatoms like N-, O-, and S-, through which they interact with analytes (cations, anions, and neutral species), producing measurable analytical signals that can be used for the fluorimetric and colorimetric detection of different analytes in biological, agricultural and environmental samples. This review focuses on indole-based small-molecule fluorimetric and colorimetric chemosensors for detecting cations, anions, and neutral species in a comprehensive manner. Furthermore, the recognition mechanisms are discussed in detail, which could help researchers design and develop more powerful and efficient fluorescent chemosensors in the near future.

Abstract
An efficient, diversity-oriented synthesis of indole-1,2-fused 1,4-benzodiazepines, tetrahydro-β-carbolines, and 2,2'-bis(indolyl)methanes was established starting from tosyl-protected tryptamine. These diverse privileged skeletons were controllably constructed by adjusting different hydride donors and Brønsted acids. A variety of indole-1,2-fused 1,4-benzodiazepines were facilely accessed using benzaldehydes bearing cyclic amines as hydride donors via a cascade N-alkylation/dehydration/[1,5]-hydride transfer/Friedel-Crafts alkylation sequence. The reaction site could be switched when benzaldehydes bearing an alkoxy moiety as hydride donors were used for the generation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines. On the other hand, the switchable synthesis of 2,2'-bis(indolyl)methanes could be achieved as well by applying p-TsOH·H2O as a catalyst. The reactions feature mild conditions, simple and practical operation, excellent efficiency and the use of EtOH as a green solvent. Using the concept of diversity-oriented, reagent-based synthesis, the inexpensive feedstock tryptamine was efficiently converted to three different types of privileged scaffolds, which facilitates rapid compound library synthesis for accelerating drug discovery.

Abstract
AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 are important members of aldo-keto reductase family which plays a significant role in cancer progression by modulating cellular metabolism. These enzymes are involved in various metabolic processes, including the synthesis and metabolism of hormones, detoxification of reactive aldehydes, and the reduction of various endogenous and exogenous compounds. This study aimed to explore the potential of strychnine as an anticancer agent by targeting AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 via drug repurposing approach. To assess the drug-like properties of strychnine, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PKPB) model and High Throughput Pharmacokinetics (HTPK) approach were employed. The obtained results fell within the expected range for drug molecules, confirming its suitability for further investigation. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) studies were conducted to gain insight into the electronic properties contributing to the drug molecule's reactivity. Building upon the promising DFT results, molecular docking analysis using the AutoDock tool was performed to examine the binding interactions between strychnine and the proposed targets, AKR1B1 and AKR1B10. Findings from the molecular docking studies suggested a higher probability of strychnine acting as an inhibitor of AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 with docking scores of - 30.84 and - 29.36 kJ/mol respectively. To validate the stability of the protein-ligand complex, Molecular Dynamic Simulation (MDS) studies were conducted, revealing the formation of a stable complex between the enzymes and strychnine. This comprehensive approach sheds light on the potential effectiveness of strychnine as a treatment for breast, lung, liver, and pancreatic cancers, as well as related malignancies. The novel insights gained from the physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, density functional theory, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations collectively support the prospect of strychnine as a promising molecule for anticancer therapy. Further investigations are warranted to validate these findings and explore the therapeutic potential of strychnine in preclinical and clinical settings.

Abstract
Prolonged inflammation leads to the genesis of various inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's, etc. The uncontrolled inflammatory response is characterized by the excessive release of pro-inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1alpha (IL-1α), and inflammatory enzymes such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Hence, the downregulation of these inflammatory mediators is an active therapy to control aberrant inflammation and tissue damage. To address this, herein, we present the rational design and synthesis of novel phytochemical entities (NPCEs) through strategic linker-based molecular hybridization of aromatic/heteroaromatic fragments with the labdane dialdehyde, isolated from the medicinally and nutritionally significant rhizomes of the plant Curcuma amada. To validate the anti-inflammatory potential, we employed a comprehensive in vitro study assessing its inhibitory effect on the COX-2 enzyme and other inflammatory mediators, viz., NO, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1α, in bacterial lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages, as well as in-silico molecular modeling studies targeting the inflammation regulator COX-2 enzyme. Among the synthesized novel compounds, 5f exhibited the highest anti-inflammatory potential by inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme (IC50 = 17.67 ± 0.89 μM), with a 4-fold increased activity relative to the standard drug indomethacin (IC50 = 67.16 ± 0.17 μM). 5f also significantly reduced the levels of LPS-induced NO, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1α, much better than the positive control. Molecular mechanistic studies revealed that 5f suppressed the expression of COX-2 and pro-inflammatory cytokine release dose-dependently, which was associated with the inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. This infers that the labdane derivative 5f is a promising lead candidate as an anti-inflammatory agent to further explore its therapeutic landscape.

Abstract
The first carbene-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective indole C7-alkylation reaction between 4-aminoindoles and α-bromoenals is disclosed. The corresponding indole products could be obtained in moderate to good yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities. The evaluation of antibacterial activity against Psa revealed that nine of the C7-functionalized indoles exhibited superior inhibitory activities compared to the positive controls TC and BT. Our approach provides an efficient strategy to introduce a chiral chain into the C7 position of indole compounds, with potential applications evaluated in pesticide development.

Abstract
Novel 1,2,3-triazole benzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed as inhibitors for the tumor- related hCA IX and XII isoforms. Most of the synthesized compounds showed good inhibitory activity against hCA IX and hCA XII isoforms. Compounds 4d, 5h and 6b, exhibited remarkable activity as hCA IX inhibitors, with Ki values in the range of 0.03 to 0.06 µM, more potent than AAZ. Additionally, compounds 5b and 6d, efficiently inhibited hCA XII isoform, with Ki value of 0.02 µM, respectively, similar to AAZ. Further investigation for those potent derivatives against MCF-7, Hep-3B and WI-38 cell lines was achieved. Compounds 4d and 6d exerted dual cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and Hep-3B cell lines, with IC50 values of 3.35 & 2.12 µM against MCF-7 cell line and 1.72 & 1.56 µM against Hep-3B cell line, with high SI values ranged from 8.92 to 17.38 on both of the cell lines. Besides, they showed a high safety profile against normal human cell line, WI-38. Moreover, compound 5h had better cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 than the reference, DOX, with IC50 value of 4.02 µM. While, compounds 5b and 6b showed higher activity against Hep-3B if compared to the reference drug, 5-FU. From ADME study, compounds 4d, 5b, 6b and 6d obeyed Lipinski's rule of five, and they might be orally active derivatives, while, compound 5h exerted less oral bioavailability than the reference standard acetazolamide. Molecular docking and MDS studies predicted the binding mode and the stability of the target compounds inside hCA IX and hCA XII active sites, especially for compounds 5b and 6b.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes play essential roles in medical imaging, where the researchers can select one of many molecules to use to help monitor the status of living systems under investigation. To date, a few scaffolds that allow the in vivo detection of H2O2 are available only. Herein, we provide a highly sensitive and selective near-infrared fluorescent probe that detects H2O2 based on the ICT sensing mechanism. We report the first indole-incorporated fluorescent probe Indo-H2O2 that allows H2O2 detection with a LOD of 25.2 nM featuring a boronate group conjugated to an indole scaffold; the boronate cleaves upon reaction with H2O2. A 5-membered malononitrile derivative was incorporated; Indo-H2O2 has near-infrared (NIR) properties and the reaction time is low (∼25 min) compared to other related probes. Indo-H2O2 was successfully employed in both endogenous and exogenous imaging trials of H2O2 in living cells. Indo-H2O2 also allows the real-time monitoring of H2O2in vivo. It preferentially accesses the gallbladder of zebrafish. Our findings support Indo-H2O2 as a highly sensitive fluorescent NIR probe for detecting H2O2, and an idea to incorporate a central indole unit in future fluorescent probe designs.

Abstract
NOD1 and NOD2 are members of the pattern recognition receptors involved in the innate immune response. Overactivation of NOD1 is implicated in inflammatory disorders, multiple sclerosis, and cancer cell metastases. NOD1 antagonists would represent valuable pharmacological tools to gain further insight into protein roles, potentially leading to new therapeutic strategies. We herein report the expansion of the chemical space of NOD1 antagonists via a multicomponent synthetic approach affording a novel chemotype, namely, 2,3-diaminoindoles. These efforts resulted in compound 37, endowed with low micromolar affinity toward NOD1. Importantly, a proof-of-evidence of direct binding to NOD1 of Noditinib-1 and derivative 37 is provided here for the first time. Additionally, the combination of computational studies and NMR-based displacement assays enabled the characterization of the binding modality of 37 to NOD1, thus providing key unprecedented knowledge for the design of potent and selective NOD1 antagonists.

Abstract
Discoidin domain receptors (DDR) play crucial roles in cell proliferation and differentiation. When DDRs are overexpressed, it has been associated with various diseases such as cancers, fibrotic disorders, and inflammation. This study aimed to expand on previous research by using a structure-based drug design approach to develop a series of new indole-urea derivatives as potent inhibitors of DDR1. Through biochemical analyses, it was found that these compounds effectively inhibited DDR1/2, with compound 7s demonstrating the highest activity against A549 cells (IC50 value of 1.84 μM) while maintaining selectivity for other kinases. In vivo studies showed that compound 7s exhibited stronger antitumor activity compared to dasatinib, without causing significant weight loss at a dose of 30 mg/kg. Further investigation revealed that compound 7s hindered the migration of A549 cells by targeting the ERK, Akt1, and EMT pathways. Additionally, cellular experiments demonstrated that compound 7s suppressed the activation of fibroblasts induced by TGF-β1. In vivo experiments confirmed that compound 7s, at a dose of 30 mg/kg, effectively inhibited DDR1 activation, resulting in a reduction of lung injury and fibrosis induced by bleomycin. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of these novel DDR1 inhibitors as promising therapeutic candidates for the treatment of DDR-related diseases.

Abstract
This study presents the atroposelective alkylation of 2-arylindoles catalyzed by a substituted cinchonium salt as a phase-transfer catalyst. Under the optimized reaction conditions, various substrates are employed to yield products with high enantioselectivity. The presence of an ortho-nitro group at the aromatic ring is essential for high atroposelectivity, because it facilitates favorable interactions between the catalyst and substrate. The origin of the enantioselectivity reveals favorable π-π interactions for both enantiomers and unfavorable steric strains for undesired enantiomers.

Abstract
In this study, new indol-fused pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines were designed and synthesized. These products were obtained in moderate to good yields and their structures were assigned by NMR, MS, and IR analysis. Afterwards, the biological important of the products was highlighted by evaluating in vitro for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity as well as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity. Eleven products revealed substantial inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase enzyme, among which, two most potent products 11d,e were approximately 93-fold more potent than acarbose as a standard antidiabetic drug. Besides that, product 11k exhibited good AChE inhibition. The substituents on the 5-phenyl ring, attached to the pyran ring, played a critical role in inhibitory activities. The biological potencies have provided an opportunity to further investigations of indol-fused pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines as potential anti-diabetic agents.

Abstract
A robust electrochemically driven nickel-catalyzed halogen exchange of unsaturated halides and triflates (Br to Cl, I to Cl, I to Br, and OTf to Cl) is reported. A combination of NiCl2 ⋅ glyme as the precatalyst, 2,2'-bipyridine as a ligand, NMP as the solvent, and electrochemistry allowed the generation of a nickel species that promotes reductive elimination of the desired product. This paired electrochemical halogenation is compatible with a range of unsaturated halides and triflates, including heterocycles, dihaloarenes, and alkenes with good functional-group tolerance. Joint experimental and theoretical mechanistic investigations highlighted three catalytic events: i) oxidative addition of the aryl halide to a Ni(0) species to deliver a Ni(II) intermediate; ii) halide metathesis at Ni(II); iii) electrochemical oxidation of Ni(II) to Ni(III) to enable the formation of the desired aryl halide upon reductive elimination. This methodology allows the replacement of heavy halogens (I or Br) or polar atoms (O) with the corresponding lighter and more lipophilic Cl group to block undesired reactivity or modify the properties of drug and agrochemical candidates.

Abstract
Demonstrated here is an asymmetric nucleophilic addition via primary activation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) based on a chiral phosphoric acid catalytic system. In sharp contrast to previous CPA-based bifunctional activation processes that all required the nucleophiles to have an effective hydrogen bond donor unit (e.g., OH, NH), here no such unit is required in the nucleophile. N-protected indole nucleophiles were successfully utilized for the synthesis of chiral tetraarylmethanes with high efficiency and enantioselectivity under mild conditions. Therefore, this protocol significantly expanded the scope of asymmetric transformations of p-QMs.

Abstract
A series of 2-azolylmethylene-3-(2H)-benzofuranone derivatives, 2-indolylmethylene-3-(2H)-benzofuranone and 2-pyrrolylmethylene-3-(2H)-benzofuranone derivatives, were synthesized, and their monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B inhibitory activities were evaluated. Compounds 1b, 3b, 6b, 7b, and 10b showed strong inhibitory activity against MAO-A, and compound 3b showed the highest potency and selectivity, with an IC50 value of 21 nM and a MAO-A selectivity index of 48. Compounds 3c, 4c, 9a, 9c, 10c, 11a, and 11c showed strong inhibitory activity against MAO-B, and compound 4c showed the highest potency and selectivity, with an IC50 value of 16 nM and a MAO-B selectivity index of >1100. Further analysis of these compounds indicated that compound 3b for MAO-A and compound 4c for MAO-B were competitive inhibitors, with Ki values of 10 and 6.1 nM, respectively. Furthermore, computational analyses, such as quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis of the 2-azolylmethylene-3-(2H)-benzofuranone derivatives conducting their pIC50 values with the Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) and Mordred, and molecular docking analysis using MOE-Dock supported that the 2-azolylmethylene-3-(2H)-benzofuranone derivatives are a privileged scaffold for the design and development of novel MAO inhibitors.

Abstract
An intermolecular enantioselective N-alkylation reaction of 1H-indoles has been developed by cooperative rhodium and chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed N-H bond insertion reaction. N-Alkyl indoles with newly formed stereocenter adjacent to the indole nitrogen atom are produced in good yields (up to 95 %) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99 % ee). Importantly, both α-aryl and α-alkyl diazoacetates are tolerated, which is extremely rare in asymmetric X-H (X=N, O, S et al.) and C-H insertion reactions. With this method, only 0.1 mol % of rhodium catalyst and 2.5 mol % of chiral phosphoric acid are required to complete the conversion as well as achieve the high enantioselectivity. Computational studies reveal the cooperative relay of rhodium and chiral phosphoric acid, and the origin of the chemo and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Evaluation of the relative rates of the cobalt-catalyzed C(sp2 )-C(sp3 ) Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling between the neopentylglycol ester of 4-fluorophenylboronic acid and N-Boc-4-bromopiperidine established that smaller N-alkyl substituents on the phenoxyimine (FI) supporting ligand accelerated the overall rate of the reaction. This trend inspired the design of optimal cobalt catalysts with phenoxyoxazoline (FOx) and phenoxythiazoline (FTz) ligands. An air-stable cobalt(II) precatalyst, (FTz)CoBr(py)3 was synthesized and applied to the cross-coupling of an indole-5-boronic ester nucleophile with a piperidine-4-bromide electrophile that is relevant to the synthesis of reported toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 antagonist molecules including afimetoran. Addition of excess KOMe⋅B(Oi Pr)3 improved catalyst lifetime due to attenuation of alkoxide basicity that otherwise resulted in demetallation of the FI chelate. A first-order dependence on the cobalt precatalyst and a saturation regime in nucleophile were observed, supporting turnover-limiting transmetalation and the origin of the observed trends in N-imine substitution.

Abstract
The indole scaffold has been established as a key organic moiety for developing new drugs; on the other hand, a range of diiron bis-cyclopentadienyl complexes have recently emerged for their promising anticancer potential. Here, we report the synthesis of novel diiron complexes with an indole-functionalized vinyliminium ligand (2-5) and an indole-lacking analogue for comparative purposes (6), which were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Complexes 2-6 are substantially stable in DMSO‑d6 and DMEM-d solutions at 37 °C (8% average degradation after 48 h) and display a balanced hydrophilic/lipophilic behaviour (LogPow values in the range -0.32 to 0.47), associated with appreciable water solubility. The complexes display selective antiproliferative potency towards several cancer cells in monolayer cultures, mainly in the low micromolar range, with reduced toxicity towards noncancerous epithelial cells. Thus, the cytotoxicity of the complexes is comparable to or better than clinically used metallopharmaceutical cisplatin. Comparing the antiproliferative activity obtained for complexes containing different ligands, we confirmed the importance of the indolyl group in the mechanism of antiproliferative activity of these complexes. Cell-based mechanistic studies suggest that the investigated diiron vinyliminium complexes (DVCs) show cytostatic rather than cytotoxic effects and subsequently induce a population of cells to undergo apoptosis. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism of action involves interactions with mitochondrial DNA and proteins, the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging properties and antioxidant activity of these complexes in cancer cells. This study highlights the importance of DVCs to their cancer cell activity and reinforces their prospective therapeutic potential as anticancer agents.

We have described a dual palladium-photoredox-catalyzed highly regioselective acylation of carbazoles and indolines using molecular oxygen as the green oxidant. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Late-stage functionalization of a carprofen drug derivative, further manipulation of products, and gram-scale synthesis of the acylated products were illustrated to show the versatility of the method.

Abstract
A facile and efficient approach utilizing copper-mediated cross-coupling reaction of N-boc-3-indolylsulfoximines with aryl iodides was developed to synthesize a diverse range of N-arylated indolylsulfoximines 11a-m in excellent yields (up to 91%). The key precursors, free NH sulfoximines 9 were readily prepared by the treatment of N-boc-3-methylthioindoles 8 with a combination of IBD and ammonium carbamate. Under similar conditions NH-free indolylsulfoximine 9a was successfully prepared in gram-scale quantities. The reaction is highly chemoselective and tolerant of a wide range of functional groups. The process is environmentally friendly and is amenable to scale-up. Among the prepared N-arylated indolylsulfoximines 11a-m, compounds 11i-j (2.68-2.76 μM), 11f-g (1.9-3.7 μM) and 11k (1.28 μM) showed potent and selective cytotoxicity against 22Rv1, C4-2 and MCF7 cells, respectively. Indolylsulfoximine derivative 11l displayed a broad spectrum of activity (1.7-8.2 μM) against the tested cancer cell lines. These compounds were found to be non-cytotoxic to normal HEK293 cells, indicating their potential selectivity for cancer cells. We analysed the impact of 11l on various cellular assays to uncover its mechanism of action. Cellular assay shows that 11l increases the endogenous level of ROS, leading to the increased level of p-53 and c-jun inducing apoptosis. 11l also induced mitochondrial dysfunction, further promoting apoptotic pathways. Besides, 11l also restricts cell invasiveness, indicating that it could serve as an effective anti-metastatic agent. As oxidative stress severe F actin causing tubulin depolymerization, we examined the impact of 11l on tubulin dynamics. Accordingly, 11l treatment decreased the levels of polymerized tubulin in 22Rv1 and C4-2 cells. Although future studies are needed to determine their exact molecular target(s), our data shows that N-aryl indolylsulfoximines could serve as effective anti-cancer agents.

Abstract
A library of 19 differently substituted 3-iodoindoles is generated by a consecutive four-component reaction starting from ortho-haloanilines, terminal alkynes, N-iodosuccinimide, and alkyl halides in yields of 11-69%. Initiated by a copper-free alkynylation, followed by a base-catalyzed cyclizive indole formation, electrophilic iodination, and finally electrophilic trapping of the intermediary indole anion with alkyl halides provides a concise one-pot synthesis of 3-iodoindoles. The latter are valuable substrates for Suzuki arylations, which are exemplified with the syntheses of four derivatives, some of them are blue emitters in solution and in the solid state, in good yield.

[PMID: 37764359 PMCID: PMC10535268 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186583] [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: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The synthesis, anticancer, and antioxidant activities of a series of indole-derived hybrid chalcones are reported here. First, using the well-known Claisen-Schmidt condensation method, a set of 29 chalcones has been designed, synthesized, and consequently characterized. Subsequently, screening for the antiproliferative activity of the synthesized hybrid chalcones was performed on five cancer cell lines (HCT116, HeLa, Jurkat, MDA-MB-231, and MCF7) and two non-cancer cell lines (MCF-10A and Bj-5ta). Chalcone 18c, bearing 1-methoxyindole and catechol structural features, exhibited selective activity against cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 8.0 ± 1.4 µM (Jurkat) and 18.2 ± 2.9 µM (HCT116) and showed no toxicity to non-cancer cells. Furthermore, antioxidant activity was evaluated using three different methods. The in vitro studies of radical scavenging activity utilizing DPPH radicals as well as the FRAP method demonstrated the strong activity of catechol derivatives 18a-c. According to the ABTS radical scavenging assay, the 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-substituted chalcones 19a-c were slightly more favorable. In general, a series of 3,4-dihydroxychalcone derivatives showed properties as a lead compound for both antioxidant and antiproliferative activity.

Abstract
A multistep and diversity-oriented synthetic route aiming at the A3 coupling/domino cyclization of o-ethynyl anilines, aldehydes and s-amines is described. The preparation of the corresponding precursors included a series of transformations, such as haloperoxidation and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions, amine protection, desilylation and amine reduction. Some products of the multicomponent reaction underwent further detosylation and Suzuki coupling. The resulting library of structurally diverse compounds was evaluated against blood and liver stage malaria parasites, which revealed a promising lead with sub-micromolar activity against intra-erythrocytic forms of Plasmodium falciparum. The results from this hit-to-lead optimization are hereby reported for the first time.

Abstract
Great efforts have been directed toward alkene π bond amination. In contrast, analogous functionalization of the adjacent C(sp3)-C(sp2) σ bonds is much rarer. Here we report how ozonolysis and copper catalysis under mild reaction conditions enable alkene C(sp3)-C(sp2) σ bond-rupturing cross-coupling reactions for the construction of new C(sp3)-N bonds. We have used this unconventional transformation for late-stage modification of hormones, pharmaceutical reagents, peptides, and nucleosides. Furthermore, we have coupled abundantly available terpenes and terpenoids with nitrogen nucleophiles to access artificial terpenoid alkaloids and complex chiral amines. In addition, we applied a commodity chemical, α-methylstyrene, as a methylation reagent to prepare methylated nucleosides directly from canonical nucleosides in one synthetic step. Our mechanistic investigation implicates an unusual copper ion pair cooperative process.

Abstract
An NHC-catalyzed atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral α-carbolinones from α,β-unsaturated iminoindole derivatives and α-chloroaldehydes was developed. The reaction proceeds through a cascade process including [4 + 2] annulation and then oxidative dehydrogenation with concomitant central-to-axial chirality conversion under mild conditions. The developed method opens a new avenue to efficiently access axially chiral α-carbolinones in moderate to good enantioselectivities.

Abstract
We disclose herein our detailed investigation into the Barton copper-promoted C3-arylation of indoles using triarylbismuth bis(trifluoroacetates). The arylation of unsubstituted 1H-indole using Barton's conditions gave a low yield of the C3-arylated indole, along with small amounts of the product of double C2/C3-arylation and traces of the product of C2 arylation. On the contrary, the arylation of indoles blocked at the C2 position is highly efficient, affording the desired products of C3-arylation in good to excellent yields. The reaction operates under simple conditions, shows good substrate scope, excellent functional group compatibility, and allows the transfer of electron-neutral or deficient aryl groups. Computational studies propose a mechanism involving a trifluoroacetate-assisted C-H activation step.

Abstract
A new catalytic asymmetric indolization reaction by a desymmetrizing [3 + 2] annulation strategy is developed. The reaction proceeds via a rhodium-catalyzed enantioposition-selective addition/5-exo-trig cyclization/dehydration cascade between ortho-amino arylboronic acids and 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentene-1,3-diones to produce N-unprotected cyclopenta[b]indoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter in high yields with good enantioselectivities. A quantitative structure-selectivity relationship (QSSR) model was established to identify the optimal chiral ligand, which effectively controlled the formation of the stereocenter away from the reaction site. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, non-covalent interaction analysis, and Eyring analysis were performed to understand the key reaction step and the function of the ligand.

Abstract
A small set of indole-based derivatives, IV and Va-I, was designed and synthesized. Compounds Va-i demonstrated promising antiproliferative activity, with GI50 values ranging from 26 nM to 86 nM compared to erlotinib's 33 nM. The most potent antiproliferative derivatives-Va, Ve, Vf, Vg, and Vh-were tested for EGFR inhibitory activity. Compound Va demonstrated the highest inhibitory activity against EGFR with an IC50 value of 71 ± 06 nM, which is higher than the reference erlotinib (IC50 = 80 ± 05 nM). Compounds Va, Ve, Vf, Vg, and Vh were further tested for BRAFV600E inhibitory activity. The tested compounds inhibited BRAFV600E with IC50 values ranging from 77 nM to 107 nM compared to erlotinib's IC50 value of 60 nM. The inhibitory activity of compounds Va, Ve, Vf, Vg, and Vh against VEGFR-2 was also determined. Finally, in silico docking experiments attempted to investigate the binding mode of compounds within the active sites of EGFR, BRAFV600E, and VEGFR-2.

Abstract
An unprecedented N-alkylation of 3-nitroindoles with para-quinone methides was developed for the first time. Using potassium carbonate as the base, a wide range of structurally diverse N-diarylmethylindole derivatives were obtained with moderated to good yields via the protection group migration/aza-1,6-Michael addition sequences. The reaction process was also demonstrated by control experiments. Different from the previous advances where 3-nitrodoles served as electrophiles trapping by various nucleophiles, the reaction herein is featured that 3-nitrodoles is defined with latent N-centered nucleophiles to react with ortho-hydrophenyl p-QMs for construction of various N-diarylmethylindoles.

Abstract
A simple, cost-effective, and straightforward method for the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indole scaffolds has been developed. The present protocol involves copper-mediated tandem hydroamination followed by C-H annulation of unprotected anilines with a wide range of internal alkynes. In the presence of Cu(OAc)2·H2O and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), the reaction proceeds well to afford a variety of substituted indole derivatives in moderate to good yields. This process was found to be compatible with both primary and secondary anilines coupled with aromatic/aliphatic alkynes. High-purity copper nanoparticles can be recovered after the reaction, revealing the cost-effectiveness and environmentally benign feature of the current protocol.

Abstract
Dengue is an acute febrile illness caused by the Dengue virus (DENV), with a high number of cases worldwide. There is no available treatment that directly affects the virus or the viral cycle. The objective of this study was to identify a compound derived from natural products that interacts with the NS5 protein of the dengue virus through virtual screening and evaluate its in vitro antiviral effect on DENV-2. Molecular docking was performed on NS5 using AutoDock Vina software, and compounds with physicochemical and pharmacological properties of interest were selected. The preliminary antiviral effect was evaluated by the expression of the NS1 protein. The effect on viral genome replication and/or translation was determined by NS5 production using DENV-2 Huh-7 replicon through ELISA and viral RNA quantification using RT-qPCR. The in silico strategy proved effective in finding a compound (M78) with an indole-like structure and with an effect on the replication cycle of DENV-2. Treatment at 50 µM reduced the expression of the NS5 protein by 70% and decreased viral RNA by 1.7 times. M78 is involved in the replication and/or translation of the viral genome.
