[PMID: 38138584 PMCID: PMC10746112 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28248095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a malignancy of the immune B lymphocyte cells and is the most common leukaemia diagnosed in developed countries. In this paper, we report the synthesis and antiproliferative effects of a series of (E)-9-(2-nitrovinyl)anthracenes and related nitrostyrene compounds in CLL cell lines and also in Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cell lines, a rare form of non-Hodgkin's immune B-cell lymphoma. The nitrostyrene scaffold was identified as a lead structure for the development of effective compounds targeting BL and CLL. The series of structurally diverse nitrostyrenes was synthesised via Henry-Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Single-crystal X-ray analysis confirmed the structure of (E)-9-chloro-10-(2-nitrobut-1-en-1-yl)anthracene (19f) and the related 4-(anthracen-9-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (30a). The (E)-9-(2-nitrovinyl)anthracenes 19a, 19g and 19i-19m were found to elicit potent antiproliferative effects in both BL cell lines EBV-MUTU-1 (chemosensitive) and EBV+ DG-75 (chemoresistant) with >90% inhibition at 10 μM. Selected (E)-9-(2-nitrovinyl)anthracenes demonstrated potent antiproliferative activity in CLL cell lines, with IC50 values of 0.17 μM (HG-3) and 1.3 μM (PGA-1) for compound 19g. The pro-apoptotic effects of the most potent compounds 19a, 19g, 19i, 19l and 19m were demonstrated in both CLL cell lines HG-3 and PGA-1. The (E)-nitrostyrene and (E)-9-(2-nitrovinyl)anthracene series of compounds offer potential for further development as novel chemotherapeutics for CLL.

Abstract
Multistep cascade reactions are important to achieve atom as well as step economy over conventional synthesis. This approach, however, is limited due to the incompatibility of the available reactive centers in a catalyst. In the present study, new MOF compounds, [Zn2(SDBA)(3-ATZ)2]·solvent, I and II, with tetrahedral Zn centers as good Lewis acidic sites and the free amino group of the 3-amino triazole ligand as a strong Lewis base center were shown to perform 4-step cascade/tandem reaction in a facile manner. Effective conversion of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal in the presence of excess nitromethane at 100 °C in water to 1-(1,3-dinitropropan-2-yl) benzene was achieved in 10 h with yields of ∼95% (I) and ∼94% (II). This 4-step cascade reaction proceeds via deacetalization (Lewis acid), Henry (Lewis base), and Michael (Lewis base) reactions. The present work highlights the importance of spatially separated functional groups in multistep tandem catalysis─the examples of which are not common.

Abstract
Secondary nitroalkanes underwent oxygen-mediated nitro-nitrite isomerization, serving as versatile N-nitrosating agents under aerobic conditions. To capitalize on the newly discovered aerobic nitro-nitrite isomerization phenomenon, a phase-transfer catalysis system employing KSeCN and TBAI was developed, in which the tandem diazotization and azo coupling with nitroalkanes as well as N-nitrosation of amines were accomplished. The current tandem diazotization and azo coupling strategy provides a facile synthesis of areneazo-2-(2-nitro)propane derivatives, a safe synthetic alternative to aryl diazonium salts.

Abstract
The photoaddition of N-nitrosopiperidines to terminal alkynes was effected under visible-light irradiation, in which a novel synthetic access to tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 1-oxides was achieved via the dehydrogenative cycloisomerization of β-nitroso enamine intermediates. The decomposition pathways of N-nitrosamines, alkynes, and β-nitroso enamine intermediates were better handled in a continuous flow setting through the diffusion control of chemical species that negatively affected the formation of tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 1-oxides under batch reaction conditions.

Abstract
Catechyl lignin (C-lignin) is a naturally occurring linear homogeneous biopolymer composed solely of caffeyl alcohol subunits with cleavable benzodioxane linkages. The inherent structural features of propenylcatechol, a direct depolymerized product of castor seed coats C-lignin, render it a sustainable and promising platform for the synthesis of bioactive molecules. Herein, diversified transformations of propenylcatechol, including C=C bond difunctionalization, β-modification, β,γ-rearrangement, and γ-methyl derivatization, were reported based on known or developed methods. A series of functional molecular skeletons involved in the current synthetic routes for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules were obtained. Starting from castor seed coats, annuloline (natural product) and CC-5079 (antitumor) were synthesized using facile and inexpensive reagents in only four- and five-sequence reactions, respectively, thereby demonstrating a superior step-efficiency to that of reported synthetic routes. Almost all atoms in the C-lignin biopolymer were incorporated into the final products owing to the intrinsic structures of naturally occurring C-lignin. Bioactive molecules produced from C-lignin integrate a low-carbon footprint with high-quality and economical manufacture of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
A biomimetic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)-like oxidation protocol was developed using an ortho-naphthoquinone catalyst in the presence of a catalytic amount of base. The developed organocatalytic aerobic oxidation protocol proceeds through the intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer of naphthalene alkoxide intermediates, a mechanistically distinctive feature from the previous alcohol dehydrogenase mimics that require metals in the active form of catalysts. The ADH-like aerobic oxidation protocol should provide green alternatives to the existing stoichiometric and metal-catalyzed alcohol oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Oxidation reactions are fundamental transformations in organic synthesis and chemical industry. With oxygen or air as terminal oxidant, aerobic oxidation catalysis provides the most sustainable and economic oxidation processes. Most aerobic oxidation catalysis employs redox metal as its active center. While nature provides non-redox metal strategy as in pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent methanol dehydrogenases (MDH), such an effective chemical version is unknown. Inspired by the recently discovered rare earth metal-dependent enzyme Ln-MDH, here we show that an open-shell semi-quinone anionic radical species in complexing with lanthanum could serve as a very efficient aerobic oxidation catalyst under ambient conditions. In this catalyst, the lanthanum(III) ion serves only as a Lewis acid promoter and the redox process occurs exclusively on the semiquinone ligand. The catalysis is initiated by 1e--reduction of lanthanum-activated ortho-quinone to a semiquinone-lanthanum complex La(SQ-.)2, which undergoes a coupled O-H/C-H (PCHT: proton coupled hydride transfer) dehydrogenation for aerobic oxidation of alcohols with up to 330 h−1 TOF. A decade ago the first rare-earth-metal dependent enzyme was discovered, in which a non-redox lanthanide ion is central in the active site of a methanol dehydrogenase. Inspired by this discovery, here the authors show that an open-shell semi-quinone anionic radical species, complexed with lanthanum, could serve as a very efficient aerobic oxidation catalyst under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Biomimetic oxidation of primary amines to carboxylic acids has been developed where the copper-containing amine oxidase (CuAO)-like o-NQ-catalyzed aerobic oxidation was combined with the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-like TBHP-mediated imine oxidation protocol. Notably, the current tandem oxidation strategy provides a new mechanistic insight into the imine intermediate and the seemingly simple TBHP-mediated oxidation pathways of imines. The developed metal-free amine oxidation protocol allows the use of molecular oxygen and TBHP, safe forms of oxidant that may appeal to the industrial application.

Abstract
Functionalization of pyrroles introducing a 2-nitroalkyl moiety allows the formation of nitro-containing compounds to be used as pivotal intermediates for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. The reaction of pyrroles with nitroalkenes under the Friedel-Crafts conditions allows a direct entry to 2-(2-nitroalkyl)pyrroles. This approach can also be used for the preparation of enantioenriched derivatives exploiting asymmetric catalysis. In a complementary fashion, the Henry reaction between 2-formylpyrroles and nitroalkanes generates the corresponding nitroaldol products which upon dehydration and reduction of the intermediate 2-pyrrolylnitroethene efficiently afford 2-(2-nitroalkyl)pyrroles. This review article summarizes the most relevant procedures for the preparation of 2-(2-nitroalkyl)pyrroles during the last two decades as well as their significant practical applications.

Abstract
The nitroso group served as a traceless directing group for the C-H functionalization of N-alkylanilines, ultimately removed after functioning either as an internal oxidant or under subsequent reducing conditions. The unique ability of o-NQ catalysts to aerobically oxidize the N-alkylanilines without using solvents and stoichiometric amounts of oxidants has rendered the new opportunity to develop the telescoped catalyst systems without a need for directly handling the hazardous N-nitroso compounds.

A facile access to fused pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives has been established by using the metal-free ortho-naphthoquinone-catalyzed aerobic cross-coupling reactions of amines. The utilization of two readily available amines allowed a direct coupling strategy to quinazolinone natural product, bouchardatine, as well as sildenafil (Viagra™) in a highly convergent manner. Fused pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives have been accessed by using the ortho-naphthoquinone-catalyzed aerobic cross-coupling reactions of amines.![]()
