Iron mediated reductive cyclization/oxidation for the generation of chemically diverse scaffolds: An approach in drug discovery. Bioorg Chem 2023; 139:106698. [PMID: 37418784 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
Chemically diverse scaffolds represent a main source of biologically important starting points in drug discovery. Herein, we report the development of such diverse scaffolds from nitroarene/ nitro(hetero)arenes using a key synthetic strategy. In a pilot-scale study, the synthesis of 10 diverse scaffolds was achieved. The 1,7-phenanthroline, thiazolo[5,4-f]quinoline, 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-g]quinoline, pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinoline, 1H-[1,4]oxazino[3,2-g]quinolin-2(3H)-one, [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-h]quinoline, 7H-pyrido[2,3-c]carbazole, 3H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]quinoline, pyrido[3,2-f]quinoxaline were obtained from nitro hetero arenes in ethanol using iron-acetic acid treatment followed by reaction under oxygen atmosphere. This diverse library is compliant with the rule of five for drug-likeness. The mapping of chemical space represented by these scaffolds revealed a significant contribution to the underrepresented chemical diversity. Crucial to the development of this approach was the mapping of biological space covered by these scaffolds which revealed neurotropic and prophylactic anti-inflammatory activities. In vitro, neuro-biological assays revealed that compounds 14a and 15a showed excellent neurotropic potential and neurite growth compared to controls. Further, anti-inflammatory assays (in vitro and in vivo models) exhibited that Compound 16 showed significant anti-inflammatory activity by attenuating the LPS-induced TNF-α and CD68 levels by modulating the NFkB pathway. In addition, treatment with compound 16 significantly ameliorated the LPS-induced sepsis conditions, and pathological abnormalities (in lung and liver tissues) and improved the survival of the rats compared to LPS control. Owing to their chemical diversity along with bioactivities, it is envisaged that new quality pre-clinical candidates will be generated in the above therapeutic areas using identified leads.

Wang K, Kowalska E. Property-governed performance of platinum-modified titania photocatalysts. Front Chem 2022; 10:972494. [PMID: 36212069 PMCID: PMC9538187 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.972494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Titania is probably the most widely investigated semiconductor photocatalyst because of various advantages, such as high activity, thermal and chemical stability, low price, abundance, and negligible toxicity. However, pristine titania is also characterized by charge carriers’ recombination, and thus lower quantum yields of photocatalytic reactions than theoretical 100%. Moreover, its wide bandgap, despite being recommended for excellent redox properties, means also inactivity under visible part of solar radiation. Accordingly, titania has been surface modified, doped and coupled with various elements/compounds. For example, platinum deposited on the surface of titania has shown to improve both UV activity and the performance under vis. Although the studies on titania modification with platinum started almost half a century ago, and huge number of papers have been published up to now, it is unclear which properties are the most crucial and recommended to obtain highly efficient photocatalyst. In the literature, the opposite findings could be found on the property-governed activities that could result from huge differences in the reaction systems, and also examined photocatalysts. Considering the platinum properties, its content, the size of nanoparticles and the oxidation state, must be examined. Obviously, the characteristics of titania also influence the resultant properties of deposited platinum, and thus the overall photocatalytic performance. Although so many reports on Pt/TiO2 have been published, it is hardly possible to give indispensable advice on the recommended properties. However, it might be concluded that usually fine platinum NPs uniformly deposited on the titania surface result in high photocatalytic activity, and thus in the low optimal content of necessary platinum. Moreover, the aggregation of titania particles might also help in the lowering the necessary platinum amount (even to 0.2 wt%) due to the interparticle electron transfer mechanism between titania particles in one aggregate. In respect of platinum state, it is thought that it is highly substrate-specific case, and thus either positively charged or zero valent platinum is the most recommended. It might be concluded that despite huge number of papers published on platinum-modified titania, there is still a lack of comprehensive study showing the direct correlation between only one property and the resultant photocatalytic activity.
