Abstract
A facile and efficient route to synthesize N-heterocyclic fused tryptamine-piperazine-2,5-dione conjugates was developed via a post-Ugi cascade reaction. The targeted compounds were prepared by means of a mild reaction and simple operation procedure, which could be applied to a broad scope of starting materials. Compound 6h was demonstrated to induce significant growth inhibition of AsPC-1 and SW1990 human pancreatic cancer cell lines (IC50 = 6 ± 0.85 μM). Our protocol allows for the construction of a structurally diverse compound library and paves a new avenue for the discovery of pancreatic cancer drug candidates. A series of tryptamine-piperazine-2,5-dione conjugates derivatives was designed and synthesized via Ugi cascade reaction. The discovery of compound 6h may provide a new avenue for pancreatic cancer drug discovery.![]()

Abstract
The first catalyst-free post-Ugi cascade methodology was developed for expeditious access to structurally diverse and complex pyrazole-pyrazines in one-pot. This novel cascade reaction features an intramolecular N2-arylation of pyrazoles with allenes at the C-β position of triple bond. Screening in the colorectal cancer cell lines HCT116 and SW620 validated the feasibility of the methodology for generating bioactive compounds. The lead compound 7h which is active against HCT116 and SW620 with IC50 of 1.3 and 1.8 µM, respectively, can be synthesized and purified in a gram process synthetic scale in 7 hours. The mechanical studies indicated that compound 7h can induce cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and inhibit proliferation and viability in human colon cancer cells. Overall, compound 7h is represented as a promising starting point for the development of new anti-colorectal cancer drugs.

Abstract
A facile microwave-assisted method for the synthesis of tetramic acid derivatives has been developed through an Ugi/Dieckmann cyclization strategy with DBU. This two-step one-pot procedure afforded the targeted tetramic acid analogues in good yields. With commercially available Ugi starting materials, microwave irradiation, a simple operation, excellent yields, and a broad scope, this reaction has the potential to produce a large number of tetramic acid analogues, which cannot be easily accessed by the classic synthetic methods.

Abstract
Background Recent studies showed that benzimidazoleisoquinolinone derivatives exhibit anticancer activity against human cancer cell lines. The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor effects and mechanisms of benzimidazoleisoquinolinones in isocitrate dehydrogenase-wildtype subtype of human glioblastoma (GBM) cells. Methods Human U87 and LN229 cell lines were used to perform the experiments. MTT was applied to screen the effective small molecular inhibitors suppressing growth of GBM cells. Colony formation and BrdU staining assays were performed to assess the inhibition effect of compound-1H on the proliferation of GBM cells. The cell cycle and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry and western blot to analyze the changes of the relative protein expressions and their signal pathways. Results Compound-1H could suppress GBM cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Treatment of compound-1H could arrest cell cycle in S phase through up-regulating P21 and P53, and down-regulating cyclin A and E in a dose-dependent manner. Compound-1H also induced mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis by increasing Bax, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and poly ADP-ribose polymerase expression, and decreasing Bcl-2 expression. Moreover, phosphorylated (p)-AKT and p-ERK levels relating to cell proliferation were dramatically decreased in U87 and LN229 cells. Conclusions Our results suggest that it is the first time to report the compound-1H with benzimidazoleisoquinolinone core playing antitumor activity in human glioblastoma cells by inhibiting Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, and it could be as a lead compound for the further development of targeted glioblastoma cancer therapy.

Facile construction of fused benzimidazole-isoquinolinones that induce cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells. Bioorg Med Chem 2018; 26:3899-3908.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent, malignant gastrointestinal tumors, and strategies and effectiveness of current therapy are limited. A series of benzimidazole-isoquinolinone derivatives (BIDs) was synthesized and screened to identify novel scaffolds for CRC. Of the compounds evaluated, 7g exhibited the most promising anti-cancer properties. Employing two CRC cell lines, SW620 and HT29, 7g was found to suppress growth and proliferation of the cell lines at a concentration of ∼20 µM. Treatment followed an increase in G2/M cell cycle arrest, which was attributed to cyclin B1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) signaling deficiencies with simultaneous enhancement in p21 and p53 activity. In addition, mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis was induced in CRC cells. Interestingly, 7g decreased phosphorylated AKT, mTOR and 4E-BP1 levels, while promoting the expression/stability of PTEN. Since PTEN controls input into the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, antiproliferative effects can be attributed to PTEN-mediated tumor suppression. Collectively, these results suggest that BIDs exert antitumor activity in CRC by impairing PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling. Against a small kinase panel, 7g exhibited low affinity at 5 µM suggesting anticancer properties likely stem through a non-kinase mechanism. Because of the novelty of BIDs, the structure can serve as a lead scaffold to design new CRC therapies.

Abstract
A post-Ugi diastereoselective one-pot cascade reaction requiring no metal catalyst was developed. The reaction scope was wide with mild conditions and good yields. A collection of spiroindolines was prepared by the protocol and screening tests in several difficult-to-inhibit cancer cell lines were conducted. The relationship of structure and anticancer activities was promising and in the Huh7 cell lines compound 16 j is more potent than Vinbalstine. The cyclization design strategy could be applicable to other multicomponent reactions (MCRs) for synthesizing bioactive and drug-like heterocycles.

Abstract
A mild and efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of oxazepino-isoquinolines via a one-pot Ugi four-component reaction, followed by the intramolecular addition of the resulting alcohol to an alkyne moiety under microwave irradiation conditions. Notably, this process only required one purification step, providing facile access to two series of complex and potentially interesting biologically active scaffolds.
