[PMID: 38323141 PMCID: PMC10845345 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1328441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
We have developed an intermolecular aminothiolation of simple olefins using Bunte salt as a thiolating agent. This protocol produces thiyl free radicals under PIDA oxidation conditions, eliminating the need for transition-metal catalysts. The method has a wide range of substrate applicability and is suitable for large-scale preparation and late-stage modification of drug molecules.

Abstract
An environmentally benign multicomponent strategy for the amidosulfenylation of alkenes for the synthesis of β-succinimide sulfides is disclosed. In this process, common disulfides smoothly act as a sulfur-based source, and N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) is used not only as a free radical initiator but also as an N-nucleophile. A broad range of functional groups are tolerated in this reaction system.

Abstract
Elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are a hallmark of cancer progression and thus inhibition of ALP could serve as an effective approach against cancer. Herein, we developed a novel prodrug approach to tackle cancer that bears self-inhibiting alkaline phosphatase-responsiveness properties that can enhance at the same time the solubility of the parent compound. To probe this novel concept, we selected apigenin as the cytotoxic agent since we first unveiled, that it directly interacts and inhibits ALP activity. Consequently, we rationally designed and synthesized, using a self-immolative linker, an ALP responsive apigenin-based phosphate prodrug, phospho-apigenin. Phospho-apigenin markedly increased the stability of the parent compound apigenin. Furthermore, the prodrug exhibited enhanced antiproliferative effect in malignant cells with elevated ALP levels, compared to apigenin. This recorded potency of the developed prodrug was further confirmed in vivo where phospho-apigenin significantly suppressed by 52.8% the growth of PC-3 xenograft tumors.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
