Abstract
An H2O/heating or [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene promoted radical cascade nitro/azide cyclization of 1-acryloyl-2-cyanoindoles with tert-butyl nitrite/azidotrimethylsilane was accomplished, which offered a series of nitro/azide-featuring pyrrolo[1,2-a]indolediones in good yields. Meanwhile, some scale-up experiments and substituent transformations were performed to test the synthetic value. In addition, the corresponding radical intermediates were successfully detected by HRMS to support the possible reaction pathway.

Abstract
A concise synthetic approach to medicinally relevant pyrroloindolones and related fused heterocycles is reported via the diastereoselective N-addition of unprotected indoles to readily accessible cyclopropanone equivalents. The resulting stable hemiaminals are shown to smoothly rearrange to pyrroloindolones in mild conditions using Fe(III) catalysis in the presence of inexpensive ammonium persulfate as a stoichiometric oxidant. Experimental evidence points toward the formation of a β-carboxylic radical intermediate prone to cyclization and oxidative rearomatization as the operative mechanistic pathway.

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
A temperature-dependent cascade of reactions between tryptamines and propargylic alcohols was developed to achieve selective formation of pyrroloindoline and pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole heterocycles by Ca(II) catalysis. The cascade consists of electrophilic addition of allene at the C3 carbon of indole followed by intramolecular cyclization at 60 °C to yield pyrroloindolines. Furthermore, simultaneous 1,2-allene migration and pyrrolidine ring opening were followed by intramolecular cyclization via C-N bond formation at reflux temperature to obtain pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole scaffolds. A wide range of substrates, a clean reaction profile, scalability, and good to excellent yields are the advantages of this protocol.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is notorious as the leading cause of death worldwide due to a single infectious entity and its causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), has been able to evolve resistance to all existing drugs in the treatment arsenal complicating disease management programs. In drug discovery efforts, natural products are important starting points in generating novel scaffolds that have evolved to specifically bind to vulnerable targets not only in pathogens such as Mtb, but also in mammalian targets associated with human diseases. Structural diversity is one of the most attractive features of natural products. This review provides a summary of fused-nitrogen-containing heterocycles found in the natural products reported in the literature that are known to have antitubercular activities. The structurally targeted natural products discussed in this review could provide a revealing insight into novel chemical aspects with novel biological functions for TB drug discovery efforts.

Abstract
We, herein, report a Pd(0) and Brønsted acid-catalyzed redox-neutral intramolecular N-allylation of indoles and pyrroles with alkynes for the synthesis of biologically important imidazolidinone-fused N-heterocycles. The allylation is completely atom-economical and is applicable to a wide range of substrates. The methodology eliminates the use of a leaving group or an oxidizing agent, often employed for the allylation of nucleophiles. To the best of our knowledge, N-allylation of indoles and pyrroles with alkynes has not been reported to date.

Abstract
Herein, we found that treating N-substituted pyrrole-2-carboxaldehydes with arylalkenes in DMF in N2 at 120 °C could afford pyrrolidine scaffolds with an up to 85% yield. This approach has several remarkable features, such as atom and step economy, readily accessible raw materials, and easy-to-operate manner, providing a simple and efficient method for constructing complicated bicyclic pyrroles. Additionally, we have successfully synthesized 28 target compounds, which further demonstrates its practicality and wide applicability.

Abstract
Natural products and their derivatives have been shown to be effective drug candidates against various diseases for many years. Over a long period of time, nature has produced an abundant and prosperous source pool for novel therapeutic agents with distinctive structures. Major natural-product-based drugs approved for clinical use include anti-infectives and anticancer agents. This paper will review some natural-product-related potent anticancer, anti-HIV, antibacterial and antimalarial drugs or lead compounds mainly discovered from 2016 to 2022. Structurally typical marine bioactive products are also included. Molecular modeling, machine learning, bioinformatics and other computer-assisted techniques that are very important in narrowing down bioactive core structural scaffolds and helping to design new structures to fight against key disease-associated molecular targets based on available natural products are considered and briefly reviewed.

Abstract
Enantioenriched N-alkylindole compounds, in which nitrogen is bound to a stereogenic sp3 carbon, are an important entity of target molecules in the fields of biological, medicinal, and organic chemistry. Despite considerable efforts aimed at inventing methods for stereoselective indole functionalization, straightforward access to a diverse range of chiral N-alkylindoles in an intermolecular catalytic fashion from readily available indole substrates remains an ongoing challenge. In sharp contrast to existing C-N bond-forming strategies, here, we describe a modular nickel-catalyzed C-C coupling protocol that couples a broad array of N-indolyl-substituted alkenes with aryl/alkenyl/alkynyl bromides to produce chiral N-alkylindole adducts in single regioisomeric form, in up to 91% yield and 97% ee. The process is amenable to proceed under mild conditions and exhibit broad scope and high functional group compatibility. Utility is highlighted through late-stage functionalization of natural products and drug molecules, preparation of chiral building blocks.

Abstract
An efficient visible-light-assisted, copper-catalyzed tandem radical cyclization of N-propargylindoles with cyclic ethers is established. A series of 2-oxoalkyl-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-9-ones with potential biological activities were synthesized in moderate yields by using a dual catalytic system with copper acetate as a transition metal catalyst and eosin Y as a visible light catalyst. The investigation of reaction mechanism shows that it goes through a cascade oxoalkyl radical addition, cyclization, and oxidation process.

Abstract
Methods for the modification of indole derivatives are powerful techniques in organic, medicinal, and biomolecular chemistry. Here, we report a protocol for the C-H alkenylation of N-H indoles with β-chlorovinyl dithianes to furnish alkenyl indoles through dual 1,3-sulfur rearrangements. This alkenylation protocol could selectively prepare a variety of vinyl indoles in moderate to high yields with excellent functional group tolerance.

Abstract
The design and development of an Ag(I)-promoted, highly diastereoselective cycloisomerization strategy for the synthesis of syn-1,2-diarylpyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-3-ones from N-alkynyl-indole-2-carbinols is reported. The H218O control experiment and identification of 18O-labeled product suggested the involvement of an external water. The 7-azaindole substrates showned a distinct reactivity to give the (Z)-8-benzylideneoxazolo[3',4':1,5]pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridines. Key features of this strategy are its 100% atom economy, access to important heterocycles, diverse substrate scope, yields up to 95%, operationally simple procedure, and distinct reactivity of indole vs 7-azaindoles.

Decoding the Role of Melatonin Structure on Plasmodium falciparum Human Malaria Parasites Synchronization Using 2-Sulfenylindoles Derivatives. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12050638. [PMID: 35625565 PMCID: PMC9138683 DOI: 10.3390/biom12050638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Melatonin acts to synchronize the parasite’s intraerythrocytic cycle by triggering the phospholipase C-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (PLC-IP3) signaling cascade. Compounds with an indole scaffold impair in vitro proliferation of blood-stage malaria parasites, indicating that this class of compounds is potentially emerging antiplasmodial drugs. Therefore, we aimed to study the role of the alkyl and aryl thiol moieties of 14 synthetic indole compounds against chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) and chloroquine-resistant (Dd2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Four compounds (3, 26, 18, 21) inhibited the growth of P. falciparum (3D7) by 50% at concentrations below 20 µM. A set of 2-sulfenylindoles also showed activity against Dd2 parasites. Our data suggest that Dd2 parasites are more susceptible to compounds 20 and 28 than 3D7 parasites. These data show that 2-sulfenylindoles are promising antimalarials against chloroquine-resistant parasite strains. We also evaluated the effects of the 14 compounds on the parasitemia of the 3D7 strain and their ability to interfere with the effect of 100 nM melatonin on the parasitemia of the 3D7 strain. Our results showed that compounds 3, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16, 17, and 20 slightly increased the effect of melatonin by increasing parasitemia by 8–20% compared with that of melatonin-only-treated 3D7 parasites. Moreover, we found that melatonin modulates the expression of kinase-related signaling components giving additional evidence to investigate inhibitors that can block melatonin signaling.

Abstract
Current treatments for giardiasis include drugs with undesirable side effects, which increase the levels of therapeutic desertion and promote drug resistance in the parasites. Herein, we describe the antigiardiasic evaluation on Giardia lamblia trophozoites of a structurally diverse collection of 74 molecules. Among these scaffolds, we discovered a benzopyrrolizidine derivative with higher antigiardiasic activity (IC50 = 11 µM) and lower cytotoxicity in human cell cultures (IC50 = 130 µM) than those displayed by the current gold-standard drugs (metronidazole and tinidazole). Furthermore, this compound produced morphologic modifications of trophozoites, with occasional loss of one of the nuclei, among other changes not observed with standard giardicidal drugs, suggesting that it might act through a novel mechanism of action.

Abstract
Heterocycles are one of the largest groups of organic moieties with significant medicinal, chemical, and industrial applications. Herein, we report the discovery and development of visible-light-induced, synergistic excited-state copper catalysis using a combination of Cu(IPr)I as a catalyst and rac-BINAP as a ligand, which produces more than 10 distinct classes of heterocycles. The reaction tolerates a broad array of functional groups and complex molecular scaffolds, including derivatives of peptides, natural products, and marketed drugs. Preliminary mechanistic investigation suggests in situ generations of [Cu(BINAP)2 ]+ and [Cu(IPr)2 ]+ catalysts that work cooperatively under visible-light irradiation to facilitate catalytic carbo-aroylation of unactivated alkenes, affording a wide range of useful heterocycles.

Abstract
Natural products have made a crucial and unique contribution to human health, and this is especially true in the case of malaria, where the natural products quinine and artemisinin and their derivatives and analogues, have saved millions of lives. The need for new drugs to treat malaria is still urgent, since the most dangerous malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has become resistant to quinine and most of its derivatives and is becoming resistant to artemisinin and its derivatives. This volume begins with a short history of malaria and follows this with a summary of its biology. It then traces the fascinating history of the discovery of quinine for malaria treatment and then describes quinine's biosynthesis, its mechanism of action, and its clinical use, concluding with a discussion of synthetic antimalarial agents based on quinine's structure. The volume then covers the discovery of artemisinin and its development as the source of the most effective current antimalarial drug, including summaries of its synthesis and biosynthesis, its mechanism of action, and its clinical use and resistance. A short discussion of other clinically used antimalarial natural products leads to a detailed treatment of other natural products with significant antiplasmodial activity, classified by compound type. Although the search for new antimalarial natural products from Nature's combinatorial library is challenging, it is very likely to yield new antimalarial drugs. The chapter thus ends by identifying over ten natural products with development potential as clinical antimalarial agents.

Abstract
Abstract:
The genus Flindersia comprises 17 species distributed in Australia, New Caledonia, New Guinea, and the Maluku Islands. With a variety of classes of secondary metabolites, including terpenes, alkaloids, lignans, flavonoids, coumarins, among other compounds, to date the genus has not been widely studied phytochemically, having more value in the timber industry. However, the objective of this review is to gather the necessary information for future research on this genus, for the inclusion of new chemical constituents and biological activities. Thus, we show that the genus Flindersia has more than 160 isolated or identified compounds. In addition, the alkaloids in this genus confer antimalarial activity.

Abstract
Upon gold catalysis, the 2,3-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]indole motif, encountered in few but interesting bioactive natural products, was efficiently obtained from N-aryl 2-alkynylazetidine derivatives. In an attempt to apply this methodology to the synthesis of harmalidine, isolated from the seeds of Peganum harmala, advanced amino 2,3-hydropyrrolo[1,2-a]indol(one) derivatives were readily obtained in only 11 steps from but-3-yn-1-ol. While the reported structure of harmalidine could not be reached from these intermediates, a surprising 12-membered diimino dimer was isolated. Extensive comparison of the reported harmalidine NMR data to the experimental and calculated data of our synthetic molecules, harmaline or the synthetised N-methylharmaline show discrepancies with the proposed natural product structure. Upon gold catalysis, the 2,3-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]indole motif, encountered in few but interesting bioactive natural products, was efficiently obtained from N-aryl 2-alkynylazetidine derivatives.![]()

Abstract
A library of 44 indole-sulfonamide derivatives (1-44) were investigated for their cytotoxic activities against four cancer cell lines (i.e., HuCCA-1, HepG2, A549, and MOLT-3) and antimalarial effect. Most of the studied indoles exhibit anticancer activity against the MOLT-3 cell line, whereas only hydroxyl-containing bisindoles displayed anticancer activities against the other tested cancer cells as well as antimalarial effect. The most promising anticancer compounds were noted to be CF3, Cl, and NO2 derivatives of hydroxyl-bearing bisindoles (30, 31, and 36), while the most promising antimalarial compound was an OCH3 derivative of non-hydroxyl-containing bisindole 11. Five quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were successfully constructed, providing acceptable predictive performance (training set: R = 0.6186-0.9488, RMSE = 0.0938-0.2432; validation set: R = 0.4242-0.9252, RMSE = 0.1100-0.2785). QSAR modeling revealed that mass, charge, polarizability, van der Waals volume, and electronegativity are key properties governing activities of the compounds. QSAR models were further applied to guide the rational design of an additional set of 22 compounds (P1-P22) in which their activities were predicted. The prediction revealed a set of promising virtually constructed compounds (P1, P3, P9, P10, and P16) for further synthesis and development as anticancer and antimalarial agents. Molecular docking was also performed to reveal possible modes of bindings and interactions between the studied compounds and target proteins. Taken together, insightful structure-activity relationship information obtained herein would be beneficial for future screening, design, and structural optimization of the related compounds.

Abstract
Heterocyclic fused-ring systems are of utmost importance because of their presence in many natural products with biological activity. Pyrroloindoles are tricyclic heterocycles that are present in various bioactive and medicinally valuable compounds. Herein, we report the synthesis of phenylene-bridged bis-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole crowned macrocycles 1-3 in which the pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole moieties were formed via intramolecular fusion. The macrocycles were thoroughly characterized by 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS and X-ray crystallographic studies. The X-ray structure revealed that the two pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole moieties were parallel to each other, and one pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole unit was deviated by an angle of 9.54° while the other pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole unit was deviated by an angle of 12.0° from the mean plane defined by 28 core atoms. The macrocycles 1-3 absorb in the visible region and readily undergo oxidations because of their electron rich nature. The macrocycles 1-3 upon treatment with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) generates the corresponding cation radicals 1-3.+ which were stable in the open air for a week. The cation radicals 1-3.+ absorb strongly in the NIR region and the experimental observations on crowned macrocycles 1-3 were corroborated by DFT and TD-DFT studies.

Abstract
Straightforward access to [1,2]-annulated indoles, key substructures in natural products, is highly desirable yet challenging. Herein, a radical triggered fragmentary cyclization cascade reaction of ene-ynamides is presented, providing a rapid access into [1,2]-annulated indoles by an intermolecular radical addition, intramolecular cyclization, desulfonylative aryl migration, and site-selective C(sp2)-N cyclization sequence. DFT calculations support oxidation of N-centered radical species to cations prior to the C-N bond formation, followed by an unusual aza-Nazarov cyclization.

Abstract
Plant-based indole alkaloids are very rich in pharmacological activities, and the indole nucleus is considered to contribute greatly to these activities. This review's fundamental objective is to summarize the pharmacological potential of indole alkaloids that have been derived from plants and provide a detailed evaluation of their established pharmacological activities, which may contribute to identifying new lead compounds. The study was performed by searching various scientific databases, including Springer, Elsevier, ACS Publications, Taylor and Francis, Thieme, Wiley Online Library, ProQuest, MDPI, and online scientific books. A total of 100 indole compounds were identified and reviewed. The most active compounds possessed a variety of pharmacological activities, including anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, antimalarial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, analgesic, hypotensive, anticholinesterase, antiplatelet, antidiarrheal, spasmolytic, antileishmanial, lipid-lowering, antimycobacterial, and antidiabetic activities. Although some compounds have potent activity, some only have mild-to-moderate activity. The pharmacokinetic profiles of some of the identified compounds, such as brucine, mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, vindoline, and harmane, were also reviewed. Most of these compounds showed promising pharmacological activity. An in-depth pharmacological evaluation of these compounds should be performed to determine whether any of these indoles may serve as new leads.

Abstract
Malaria is a major parasitic disease in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Pertaining to the sustaining resistance in malarial parasite against the available drugs, novel treatment options are the need of the hour. In this resolve recently, focus has shifted to finding the natural alternatives that possess anti-plasmodial activity for combatting malaria. Drawing on the text written in ancient scriptures and Ayurveda, natural compounds are now being screened for their therapeutic properties. Indole is one such natural compound, present in all living organisms, it displays a range of therapeutic activities including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial etc. In this review, we have discussed various indole scaffold as well as the semi-synthetic drugs containing indole moiety that have been synthesized for malaria treatment.

Rate Dependence on Inductive and Resonance Effects for the Organocatalyzed Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of Alkenyl and Alkynyl Boronic Acids to β-Indolyl Enones and β-Pyrrolyl Enones. Molecules 2021; 26:1615. [PMID: 33799473 PMCID: PMC8000498 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26061615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2021] [Revised: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Two key factors bear on reaction rates for the conjugate addition of alkenyl boronic acids to heteroaryl-appended enones: the proximity of inductively electron-withdrawing heteroatoms to the site of bond formation and the resonance contribution of available heteroatom lone pairs to stabilize the developing positive charge at the enone β-position. For the former, the closer the heteroatom is to the enone β-carbon, the faster the reaction. For the latter, greater resonance stabilization of the benzylic cationic charge accelerates the reaction. Thus, reaction rates are increased by the closer proximity of inductive electron-withdrawing elements, but if resonance effects are involved, then increased rates are observed with electron-donating ability. Evidence for these trends in isomeric substrates is presented, and the application of these insights has allowed for reaction conditions that provide improved reactivity with previously problematic substrates.

Abstract
Half of the world's population lives in countries at risk of malaria infection, which results in approximately 450,000 deaths annually. Malaria parasites infect erythrocytes in a coordinated manner, with cycle durations in multiples of 24 hours, which reflects a behavior consistent with the host's circadian cycle. Interference in cycle coordination can help the immune system to naturally fight infection. Consequently, there is a search for new drugs that interfere with the cycle duration for combined treatment with conventional antimalarials. Melatonin appears to be a key host hormone responsible for regulating circadian behavior in the parasite cycle. In addition to host factors, there are still unknown factors intrinsic to the parasite that control the cycle duration. In this review, we present a series of reports of indole compounds and melatonin derivatives with antimalarial activity that were tested on several species of Plasmodium to evaluate the cytotoxicity to parasites and human cells, in addition to the ability to interfere with the development of the erythrocytic cycle. Most of the reported compounds had an IC50 value in the low micromolar range, without any toxicity to human cells. Triptosil, an indole derivative of melatonin, was able to inhibit the effect of melatonin in vitro without causing changes to the parasitemia. The wide variety of tested compounds indicates that it is possible to develop a compound capable of safely eliminating parasites from the host and interfering with the life cycle, which is promising for the development of new combined therapies against malaria.

Abstract
The [2+2] photocycloaddition is the most valuable and intensively investigated photochemical process. Here we demonstrate that irradiation of N-acryloyl heterocycles with blue LED light (440 nm) in the presence of an IrIII complex leads to efficient and high yielding fused γ-lactam formation across a range of substituted heterocycles. Quantum calculations show that the reaction proceeds via cyclization in the triplet excited state to yield a 1,4-diradical; intersystem crossing leads preferentially to the closed shell singlet zwitterion. This is geometrically restricted from undergoing recombination to yield a cyclobutane by the planarity of the amide substituent. A prototropic shift leads to the observed bicyclic products in what can be viewed as an interrupted [2+2] cycloaddition.
