Abstract
A novel phosphine-catalyzed [4 + 1] cyclization reaction was developed to construct the 3-oxo-3H-spiro[benzofuran-2,1′-cyclopentane] scaffold. Utilizing this innovative method, twenty diverse 3-oxo-3H-spiro[benzofuran-2,1′-cyclopentane] carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-fibrotic activities. Compound L10-P1 possessed potential anti-fibrotic activity by inhibiting the expression of fibronectin, collagen I, and α-SMA. This study presents a new synthetic route for 3H-spiro[benzofuran-2,1′-cyclopentan]-3-one derivatives, contributing valuable insights into the chemical and biological diversity of these compounds.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
