Abstract
Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been extensively studied as an approach to reduce proinflammatory markers in acute brain diseases, but the anti-neuroinflammatory role of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibition has been rather neglected. We report that m-terphenylamine derivatives are selective COX-1 inhibitors, able to block microglia inflammatory response and elicit a neuroprotective effect. These compounds were synthesized via a three-component reaction of chalcones, β-ketoesters, and primary amines, followed by hydrolysis/decarboxylation of the ester group. Together with their synthetic intermediates and some urea derivatives, they were studied as inhibitors of COX-1 and COX-2. The m-terphenylamine derivatives, which were selective COX-1 inhibitors, were also analyzed for their ability to block microglia inflammatory and oxidative response. Compound 3b presented an interesting anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective profile by reducing nitrite release, ROS overproduction, and cell death in organotypic hippocampal cultures subjected to LPS. We thus show that COX-1 inhibition is a promising approach to provide enhanced neuroprotection against acute inflammatory processes, which are crucial in the development of a plethora of acute neurodegenerative injuries.

Discovery of 7-aminophenanthridin-6-one as a new scaffold for matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors with multitarget neuroprotective activity. Eur J Med Chem 2020; 210:113061.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent hydrolytic enzymes of great biological relevance, and some of them are key to the neuroinflammatory events and the brain damage associated to stroke. Non-zinc binding ligands are an emerging trend in drug discovery programs in this area due to their lower tendency to show off-target effects. 7-Amino-phenanthridin-6-one is disclosed as a new framework able to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases by binding to the distal part of the enzyme S1' site, as shown by computational studies. A kinetic study revealed inhibition to be noncompetitive. Some of the compounds showed some degree of selectivity for the MMP-2 and MMP-9 enzymes, which are crucial for brain damage associated to ischemic stroke. Furthermore, some compounds also had a high neuroprotective activity against oxidative stress, which is also very relevant aspect of ischaemic stroke pathogenesis, both decreasing lipid peroxidation and protecting against the oxidative stress-induced reduction in cell viability. One of the compounds, bearing a 2-thienyl substituent at C-9 and a 4-methoxyphenylamino at C-7, had the best-balanced multitarget profile and was selected as a lead on which to base future structural manipulation.

Abstract
A Ce(IV)-catalyzed three-component reaction between chalcones, anilines and β-ketoesters followed by a microwave-assisted thermal cyclization afforded 1,3-diaryl-1,2-dihydroacridin-9(10H)-ones. Their microwave irradiation in nitrobenzene, acting both as solvent and oxidant, afforded fully unsaturated 1,3-diarylacridin-9(10H)-ones, which combine acridin-9-(10H)one and m-terphenyl moieties. Overall, the route generates three C-C and one C-N bond and has the advantage of requiring a single chromatographic separation.

Abstract
One interesting aspect of antioxidant organic molecules is their use as probes for the detection and quantitation of biologically relevant reactive oxidant species (ROS). In this context, a small library of dihydroterphenyl derivatives has been synthesised and studied as fluorescent chemodosimeters for detecting reactive oxygen species and hypochlorite. The fluorescence quantum yields of these molecules are negligible, while the corresponding aromatized compounds formed upon oxidation show moderate to high native fluorescence, depending on their structures. The fluorescence signal is quickly developed in the presence of trace amounts of the probe and the analytes in acetonitrile media at room temperature, with good analytical figures. ROS detection in aqueous media required incubation at 37 °C in the presence of horseradish peroxidase, and was applied to glucose quantitation by coupling glucose oxidation by O2 to fluorescence detection of H2O2. The mild reaction conditions and sensitive fluorescent response lead us to propose dihydroterphenyls with an embedded anthranilate moiety as chemosensors/chemodosimeters for ROS detection.

Abstract
A novel five-component diastereoselective synthesis of polysubstituted 2-piperidinones is reported. The Knoevenagel condensation-Michael addition-Mannich cascade of two equivalents of aromatic aldehydes, nitriles, dialkyl malonates and ammonium acetate or aqueous ammonia in alcohols provides convenient access to alkyl (3SR,4RS,6SR)-5,5-dicyano-2-oxo-4,6-diarylpiperidine-3-carboxylates with three stereocenters in 52-90% or dialkyl (2SR,3RS,4RS,5SR)-2,4-diaryl-3-cyano-6-oxopiperidine-3,5-dicarboxylates with four stereocenters in 38-88%. The formation of products was highly stereoselective, with only one diastereomer formed. Ammonium acetate or aqueous ammonia plays a role both as a catalyst and as a nitrogen source. 2,4,6-triaryl-3,3,5,5-tetracyanopiperidines were obtained as a side products in the reactions with nitro-substituted aldehydes or with ethyl and n-propyl cyanoacetates. A series of 14 2-piperidinones and piperidines was assessed for antimicrobial activity against a panel of five bacteria and two fungi; no significant activity was observed. Two side piperidines with nitro substituents in aromatic ring possess bacteriostatic action against S. aureus ATCC 43300 and A. baumannii ATCC 19606 at 32 ug/mL.

Abstract
An oxidant-free three-component synthesis of biologically significant 7-amino-6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones was established involving a Sc(OTf)3 catalyzed three-component reaction between primary amines, β-ketoesters and 2-hydroxychalcones under green conditions. In this strategy, both the B and C rings of 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones were constructed simultaneously starting from acyclic precursors by generating four new bonds including two C-C, one C-N and one C-O in a single synthetic operation. The mechanism of this sequential cascade process involves the initial formation of a β-enaminone intermediate followed by Michael addition with 2-hydroxychalcone, intramolecular cyclization, dehydration, lactonization and aromatization steps. Unlike the related literature approaches, this reaction delivered the products without the addition of any external oxidants to achieve the key aromatization step.
