Abstract
β-Phenethylamines are widely represented in biologically and pharmacologically active organic small molecules. Here, we introduce N-pyridinium aziridines as latent dual electrophiles for the synthesis of β-phenethylamines. Bromide-promoted ring opening generates β-halopyridinium amines. Selective Ni-catalyzed C-C cross-coupling between organozinc nucleophiles and the benzylic C-Br electrophile affords a diverse family of β-functionalized phenethylaminopyridinium salts, and coupling is stereoconvergent in the presence of chiral ligands. Subsequent Ni-catalyzed reductive N-N bond activation within the β-functionalized phenethylaminopyridinium salts furnishes the products of formal olefin carboamination. Other reductive N-N cleavage reactions are demonstrated to provide access to free primary amines, alkylated amines, heterocycles, and products derived from N-centered radical chemistry. The developed reaction sequence can be implemented in the context of complex molecules and natural product derivatives. Together, the described results provide a general and modular synthesis of β-phenethylamines and significantly expand the utility of N-pyridinium aziridines as linchpins in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Natural products continue to represent a compelling resource for uncovering chemical scaffolds characterised by significant structural variability and diverse biological activities. These compounds possess the potential to be directly utilised or to serve as initial templates for further refinement, ultimately leading to the development of innovative pharmaceutical agents. Among natural products, isoquinoline alkaloids stand out as one of the most extensively researched groups. 1-Oxo-tetrahydroisoquinolinones (1 O-THIQ), isolated from a variety of natural sources, exhibit valuable biological properties. This review investigates the bioactivities of specific 1 O-THIQ alkaloids, which have not been reviewed to the same depth in previous studies.

Abstract
The (S)-norcoclaurine synthase from Thalictrum flavum (TfNCS) stereoselectively catalyzes the Pictet-Spengler reaction between dopamine and 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde to give (S)-norcoclaurine. TfNCS can catalyze the Pictet-Spengler reaction with various aldehydes and ketones, leading to diverse tetrahydroisoquinolines. This substrate promiscuity positions TfNCS as a highly promising enzyme for synthesizing fine chemicals. Understanding carbonyl-containing substrates' structural and electronic signatures that influence TfNCS activity can help expand its applications in the synthesis of different compounds and aid in protein optimization strategies. In this study, we investigated the influence of the molecular properties of aldehydes and ketones on their reactivity in the TfNCS-catalyzed Pictet-Spengler reaction. Initially, we compiled a library of reactive and unreactive compounds from previous publications. We also performed enzymatic assays using nuclear magnetic resonance to identify some reactive and unreactive carbonyl compounds, which were then included in the library. Subsequently, we employed QSAR and DFT calculations to establish correlations between substrate-candidate structures and reactivity. Our findings highlight correlations of structural and stereoelectronic features, including the electrophilicity of the carbonyl group, to the reactivity of aldehydes and ketones toward the TfNCS-catalyzed Pictet-Spengler reaction. Interestingly, experimental data of seven compounds out of fifty-three did not correlate with the electrophilicity of the carbonyl group. For these seven compounds, we identified unfavorable interactions between them and the TfNCS. Our results demonstrate the applications of in silico techniques in understanding enzyme promiscuity and specificity, with a particular emphasis on machine learning methodologies, DFT electronic structure calculations, and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations.

Abstract
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have emerged as a critical factor in malignant hematologic disease pathogenesis. These structures, comprising DNA, histones, and cytoplasmic proteins, were initially recognized for their role in immune defense against microbial threats. Growing evidence suggests that NETs contribute to malignant cell progression and dissemination, representing a double-edged sword. However, there is a paucity of reports on its involvement in hematological disorders. A comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between malignant cells and NETs is necessary to explore effective therapeutic strategies. This review highlights NET formation and mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis. Moreover, we discuss recent advancements in targeted inhibitor development for selective NET disruption, empowering precise design and efficacious therapeutic interventions for malignant hematologic diseases.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized new 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinolines and 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]isoquinolines based on 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl moiety as expected anticancer and/or antioxidant agents. The structure of all synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral date (FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR) and elemental analysis. We evaluated the anticancer activity of these compounds toward two cell lines: A459 cell line (lung cancer cells) and MCF7 cell line (breast cancer cells). All tested compounds showed moderate to strong anti-cancer activity towards the two cell lines. Compound 7e exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activity against A549 cell line (IC50: 0.155 µM) while compound 8d showed the most potent one against MCF7 cell line (IC50: 0.170 µM) in comparison with doxorubicin. In addition, we examined the effect of compounds 7e and 8d regarding the growth of A549 and MCF7 cell lines, employing flow cytometry and Annexin V-FITC apoptotic assay. Our results showed that compound 7e caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase with a 79-fold increase in apoptosis of A459 cell line. Moreover, compound 8d caused cell cycle arrest at the S phase with a 69-fold increase in apoptosis of MCF7 cell line. Furthermore, we studied the activity of these compounds as enzyme inhibitors against several enzymes. Our findings by docking and experimental studies that compound 7e is a potent CDK2 inhibitor with IC50 of 0.149 µM, compared to the Roscovitine control drug with IC50 of 0.380 µM. We also found that compound 8d is a significant DHFR inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.199 µM, compared to Methotrexate control drug with IC50 of 0.131 µM. Evaluation of the antioxidant properties of ten compounds was also studied in comparison with Vitamin C. Compounds 1, 3, 6, 7c and 8e have higher antioxidant activity than Vitamin C which mean that these compounds can used as potent antioxidant drugs.

Abstract
Overexpression of the chromosome 21 DYRK1A gene induces morphological defects and cognitive impairments in individuals with Down syndrome (DS) and in DS mice models. Aging neurons of specific brain regions of patients with Alzheimer's disease, DS and Pick's disease have increased DYRK1A immunoreactivity suggesting a possible association of DYRK1A with neurofibrillary tangle pathology. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) displays appreciable inhibition of DYRK1A activity and, contrary to all other published inhibitors, EGCG is a non-competitive inhibitor of DYRK1A. Prenatal exposure to green tea polyphenols containing EGCG protects from brain defects induced by overexpression of DYRK1A. In order to produce more robust and possibly more active analogues of the natural compound EGCG, here we synthetized new EGCG-like molecules with several structural modifications to the EGCG skeleton. We replaced the ester boun of EGCG with a more resistant amide bond. We also replaced the oxygen ring by a methylene group. And finally, we positioned a nitrogen atom within this ring. The selected compound was shown to maintain the non-competitive property of EGCG and to correct biochemical and behavioral defects present in a DS mouse model. In addition it showed high stability and specificity.

Abstract
We have synthesized 22 C-1 functionalized-N-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives showing biological activities towards cholinergic enzymes. Synthesis was performed using visible-light-promoted photo-redox chemistry, starting from a common intermediate, and the application of this synthetic methodology drastically simplified synthetic routes and purification of desired compounds. All synthesized derivates were divided into four groups based on the substituents in the C-1 position, and their inhibition potencies towards two cholinergic enzymes, acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase were evaluated. Most potent derivatives were selected, and kinetic analysis was further carried out to obtain insights into the mechanisms of inhibition of these two enzymes. Further validation of the mode of inhibition of cholinergic enzymes by the two most potent THIQ compounds, 3c and 3i, was performed using fluorescence-quenching titration studies. Molecular docking studies further confirmed the proposed mechanism of enzymes' inhibition. In silico predictions of physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, drug-likeness, and medicinal chemistry friendliness of the selected most potent derivatives were performed using Swiss ADME tool. This was followed by UPLC-assisted log P determination and in vitro BBB permeability studies performed in order to assess the potential of the synthesized compounds to pass the BBB.

Copper(II) Complexes with 1-(Isoquinolin-3-yl)heteroalkyl-2-ones: Synthesis, Structure and Evaluation of Anticancer, Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Potential. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:8. [PMID: 38203181 PMCID: PMC10779222 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Four copper(II) complexes, C1-4, derived from 1-(isoquinolin-3-yl)heteroalkyl-2-one ligands L1-4 were synthesized and characterized using an elemental analysis, IR spectroscopic data as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction data for complex C1. The stability of complexes C1-4 under conditions mimicking the physiological environment was estimated using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The antiproliferative activity of both ligands L1-4 and copper(II) compounds C1-4 were evaluated using an MTT assay on four human cancer cell lines, A375 (melanoma), HepG2 (hepatoma), LS-180 (colon cancer) and T98G (glioblastoma), and a non-cancerous cell line, CCD-1059Sk (human normal skin fibroblasts). Complexes C1-4 showed greater potency against HepG2, LS180 and T98G cancer cell lines than etoposide (IC50 = 5.04-14.89 μg/mL vs. IC50 = 43.21->100 μg/mL), while free ligands L1-4 remained inactive in all cell lines. The prominent copper(II) compound C2 appeared to be more selective towards cancer cells compared with normal cells than compounds C1, C3 and C4. The treatment of HepG2 and T98G cells with complex C2 resulted in sub-G1 and G2/M cell cycle arrest, respectively, which was accompanied by DNA degradation. Moreover, the non-cytotoxic doses of C2 synergistically enhanced the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, including etoposide, 5-fluorouracil and temozolomide, in HepG2 and T98G cells. The antimicrobial activities of ligands L2-4 and their copper(II) complexes C2-4 were evaluated using different types of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and yeast species. No correlation was found between the results of the antiproliferative and antimicrobial experiments. The antioxidant activities of all compounds were determined using the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging methods. Antiradical tests revealed that among the investigated compounds, copper(II) complex C4 possessed the strongest antioxidant properties. Finally, the ADME technique was used to determine the physicochemical and drug-likeness properties of the obtained complexes.

Abstract
7-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for neuroprotective properties. We summarized the preliminary structure activity relationships (SAR). Compound 3i was screened as a hit compound and its antidepressant activity was evaluated by employing the forced swimming test, tail suspension test. Additionally, ADMET profile (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity properties) of the compound 3i was predicted in order to evaluate their lead-like properties and safety. The interaction of compound 3i bound to MAO-A was explored using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Results of biological studies revealed that the compound 3i exhibited almost equal antidepressant activity compared with magnoflorine. Compound 3i is predicted to possess good drug like properties and safety based on ADMET profile predictions. This work provides ideas for the drugs discovery of antidepressant agents.

Abstract
Described herein are studies toward the core modification of cyclic aliphatic amines using either a riboflavin/photo-irradiation approach or Cu(I) and Ag(I) to mediate the process. Structural remodeling of cyclic amines is explored through oxidative C-N and C-C bond cleavage using peroxydisulfate (persulfate) as an oxidant. Ring-opening reactions to access linear aldehydes or carboxylic acids with flavin-derived photocatalysis or Cu salts, respectively, are demonstrated. A complementary ring-opening process mediated by Ag(I) facilitates decarboxylative Csp3-Csp2 coupling in Minisci-type reactions through a key alkyl radical intermediate. Heterocycle interconversion is demonstrated through the transformation of N-acyl cyclic amines to oxazines using Cu(II) oxidation of the alkyl radical. These transformations are investigated by computation to inform the proposed mechanistic pathways. Computational studies indicate that persulfate mediates oxidation of cyclic amines with concomitant reduction of riboflavin. Persulfate is subsequently reduced by formal hydride transfer from the reduced riboflavin catalyst. Oxidation of the cyclic aliphatic amines with a Cu(I) salt is proposed to be initiated by homolysis of the peroxy bond of persulfate followed by α-HAT from the cyclic amine and radical recombination to form an α-sulfate adduct, which is hydrolyzed to the hemiaminal. Investigation of the pathway to form oxazines indicates a kinetic preference for cyclization over more typical elimination pathways to form olefins through Cu(II) oxidation of alkyl radicals.

Abstract
A simple and convenient synthesis of (–)-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic acid is described, applying a combination of two synthetic methods: the Petasis reaction and Pomeranz–Fritsch–Bobbitt cyclization. The diastereomeric morpholinone derivative N-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-1,4-oxazin-2-one formed in the Petasis reaction was further transformed into 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic acid via Pomeranz–Fritsch–Bobbitt cyclization, a classical method of synthesis leading to the tetrahydroisoquinoline core. We review important examples of applications of the Pomeranz–Fritsch process and its modifications in the synthesis of chiral tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives that have been published in the past two decades.

Abstract
Herein, a novel class of tetrahydroisoquinoline stilbene derivatives were synthesized, and their potential in vitro anticancer activities were evaluated. Most of the compounds displayed inhibitory activity against one or more representative human cancer cell lines (lung cancer A549 cells, breast cancer MCF-7 cells, and human colorectal carcinoma HT-29 cells), especially compound 16e, which exhibited outstanding cytotoxicity to A549 cells. The tubulin polymerization assay demonstrated that compound 16e displayed better inhibition than colchicine when tested at the same concentration. It was found that 16e arrested A549 cells in G2/M phase by downregulating the expression of cell division cycle 2 (Cdc2) and upregulating the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and cyclin B1. Flow cytometry and Western blot analysis indicated that 16e caused apoptosis via the mitochondrial-dependent apoptotic pathway by reducing mitochondrial membrane potential, inducing ROS accumulation, promoting the release of cytochrome C from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm, and further increasing the protein level of cleaved caspase-3. This work may inspire new ideas for the further improvement of tubulin-related anticancer drugs and treatments.

Abstract
A series of novel 2-substituted-5,7-dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-6-carbohydrazide were designed, synthesized and structures were confirmed by analytical methods, viz., 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and Mass spectrometry. Synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their anti-mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Ra. Among all the evaluated compounds, 10A25 containing biphenyl moiety exhibited significant inhibition with IC50 4.7 μM. 10A19, with an electron-withdrawing Iodo group in the ortho position of the phenyl exhibited significant anti-tubercular activity with IC50 8.8 μM. IC50 values of the remaining compounds ranged from 9.2 to 73.6 μM. Molecular docking study of the significantly active compound 10A25 was performed to determine the putative binding position of the test ligand at the active site of the selected target proteins Mycobacterium tuberculosis enoyl reductase (InhA) PDB - 4TZK and peptide deformylase PDB - 3E3U. A suitable single crystal for one of the active compounds, 10A12, was generated and analysed to further confirm the structure of the compounds.

Abstract
The optimization of multistep chemical syntheses is critical for the rapid development of new pharmaceuticals. However, concatenating individually optimized reactions can lead to inefficient multistep syntheses, owing to chemical interdependencies between the steps. Herein, we develop an automated continuous flow platform for the simultaneous optimization of telescoped reactions. Our approach is applied to a Heck cyclization-deprotection reaction sequence, used in the synthesis of a precursor for 1-methyltetrahydroisoquinoline C5 functionalization. A simple method for multipoint sampling with a single online HPLC instrument was designed, enabling accurate quantification of each reaction, and an in-depth understanding of the reaction pathways. Notably, integration of Bayesian optimization techniques identified an 81 % overall yield in just 14 h, and revealed a favorable competing pathway for formation of the desired product.

Abstract
Isoquinoline alkaloids constitute one of the most common classes of alkaloids that have shown a pronounced role in curing various diseases. Finding ways to reduce the toxicity of these molecules and to increase their therapeutic margin is an urgent matter. Here, a one-step method for the synthesis of a series of 1-aryl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines was performed in 85-98% yield by the Pictet-Spengler reaction. This was accomplished using the reaction between 3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamine and substituted benzaldehydes boiling in trifluoroacetic acid. Furthermore, 1-(3'-amino-, 4'-aminophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines were obtained in 94% and 97% yield by reduction in 1-(3'-nitro-, 4'-nitrophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines with SnCl2 × 2H2O. The structures of the substances obtained were confirmed by infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C NMR) spectra. ADMET/TOPKAT in silico study concluded that the synthesized compounds exhibited acceptable pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties without carcinogenic or mutagenic potential but with variable hepatotoxicity. The acute toxicity and structure-toxicity relationship (STR) in the series of 20 derivatives of 1-aryl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (3a-r, 4a, b) was studied via determination of acute toxicity and resorptive action in white mice employing intragastric step-by-step administration. The first compound, 1-phenyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride (3a), showed the highest toxicity with LD50 of 280 mg/kg in contrast to 1-(3'-bromo -4'-hydroxyphenyl)-6,7-methylenedioxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride (3e) which proved to be the safest of the compounds studied. Its toxicity was 13.75 times lower than that of the parent compound 3a. All compounds investigated showed high local anesthetic activity on rabbit eyes in the concentrations studied. Only 3r, 3n, and 4a caused eye irritation and redness. All investigated derivatives (except 4b) in 1% concentration were more active than lidocaine, providing longer duration of complete anesthesia. Therefore, based on the obtained results of in silico tests, local anesthesia, and acute toxicity, a conclusion can be drawn that the experimental compounds need further extensive future investigations and possible modifications so that they can act as promising drug candidates.

Abstract
A method to obtain tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) fused to tetrahydrofuran rings from aminosugar derivatives has been developed. The procedure relies on a key deprotection of benzyl ethers followed by a double-cyclization sequence, using FeCl3 as the sole reagent. This tandem reaction affords the construction of novel fused polycyclic heterocycles with total stereochemical control.

Abstract
The oxidative α-functionalization of 2-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) promoted by a versatile heterogeneous nanocatalyst consisting of copper nanoparticles immobilized on silica-coated maghemite (CuNPs/MagSilica) has been accomplished. The methodology was successfully applied in the cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction of N-aryl THIQs and other tertiary amines with nitromethane as a pro-nucleophile (aza-Henry reaction) and the α-oxidation of THIQs with O2 as a green oxidant. Phosphite, alkyne, or indole derivatives were also shown to be suitable candidates for their use as pro-nucleophiles in the CDC reaction with THIQs. The catalyst, with very low copper loading (0.4-1.0 mol % Cu), could be easily recovered by means of an external magnet and reused in four cycles without significant loss of activity.

Abstract
A practically convenient and streamlined protocol for the trans-diastereoselective introduction of an aryl substituent at position 4 of the 1,4-dihydroisoquinol-3-one (1,4-DHIQ) scaffold is presented. The protocol involves direct Regitz diazo transfer onto readily available 3(2H)-isoquinolones followed by TfOH-promoted hydroarylation by an arene molecule. Screening of the novel 1,2,4-trisubstituted 1,4-DHIQs against cancer cell lines confirmed high cytotoxicity of selected analogs, which validates this new chemotype for further investigations as anticancer cytotoxic agents.

Abstract
Chiral compounds containing nitrogen heteroatoms are fundamental substances for the chemical, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. However, the preparation of some of these interesting scaffolds is still underdeveloped. Herein we present the synthesis of a family of P‐stereogenic phosphinooxazoline iridium catalysts from L‐threonine methyl ester and their use in the asymmetric hydrogenation of N‐Boc‐2,3‐diarylallyl amines, achieving very high enantioselectivity. Furthermore, the synthetic utility of the 2,3‐diarylpropyl amines obtained is demonstrated by their transformation to 3‐aryl‐tetrahydroquinolines and 4‐benzyl‐tetrahydroisoquinolines, which have not yet been obtained in an enantioselective manner by direct reduction of the corresponding aromatic heterocycles. This strategy allows the preparation of these types of alkaloids with the highest enantioselectivity reported up to date.

Abstract
Here, we report a unique electrosynthetic method that enables the selective one-electron oxidation of tertiary amines to generate α-amino radical intermediates over two-electron oxidation to iminium cations, providing easy access to arylation products by simply applying an optimal alternating current (AC) frequency. More importantly, we have discovered an electrochemical descriptor from cyclic voltammetry studies to predict the optimal AC frequency for various amine substrates, circumventing the time-consuming trial-and-error methods for optimizing reaction conditions. This new development in AC electrolysis provides an alternative strategy to solving challenging chemoselectivity problems in synthetic organic chemistry.

Abstract
A route for the preparation of merged symmetrical tetrahydroisoquinolines with central chirality through a rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition involving enantiopure triynes as substrates is described. The results show that linear triynes lacking a 3-atom tether can undergo efficient cyclisation. The N-tethered 1,7,13-triynes used in our approach were easily prepared from readily accessible chiral homopropargyl amides, the basic building blocks in our approach, which were efficiently obtained by diastereoselective addition of propargyl magnesium bromide to Ellman imines. Additional substitution at the benzene rings could be attained when substituted triynes at the terminal triple bonds were employed, giving access to more complex tetrahydroisoquinolines after the rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition. Among the different transition-metal catalysts, the Wilkinson complex (RhCl(PPh3)3) afforded higher yields in the cyclisation of linear triynes; however, triynes bearing a Br substituent at the terminal positions underwent the cyclisation more efficiently in the presence of [RhCl(CO)2]2.

Abstract
Herein, we report the first dithiocarbamation of spiro-aziridine oxindoles involving regiospecific ring-opening by using in situ generated nucleophilic dithiocarbamates as an instant source of sulfur. This approach afforded C3-functionalised-3-thiooxindoles in good to excellent yields with a wide substrate scope under catalyst-free and mild reaction conditions. These compounds were screened for their anticancer activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines, wherein compound 3u exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against human lung cancer cells with an IC50 value of 4.31 ± 1.88 μM. Phase contrast microscopy as well as different staining assays such as acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB), DAPI and DCFDA demonstrated the induction of apoptosis in A549 lung cancer cells after treatment with compound 3u. In addition, the clonogenic assay and migration assay demonstrated the ability of compound 3u to inhibit colony formation and cell migration, respectively, in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
