Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds最新文献

The presence of one or more fluorine atoms in six-membered nitrogen heterocycles significantly impacts their chemical and physical properties, making them important in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This review, therefore, surveys the recent advances (mostly from 2010 onwards) in the synthesis of fluorinated six-membered N-heterocyclic compounds, including both the use of fluorinated starting materials and the introducing of fluorine atoms in the heterocyclic core and in either case exploring the benefits of microwave-assisted processes.

Twelve novel camptothecin derivatives with a carbamate substituent at position 20 were designed and synthesized. Most of the targeted compounds indicated potent anti-inflammatory activity in a lipopolysaccharide stimulation of peritoneal macrophage model. Among them, the benzyl(methyl)amine derivative showed the most pronounced anti-inflammatory activity at a concentration of 1 μM and TNF-α inhibitory rate is increased by 10.2% compared to the lead compound (N,N-dimethylethylenediamine derivative).

A new protocol for visible-light-induced C–H trifluoromethylation at C-4 position of 1,2-benzoxazoles has been disclosed with Togni reagent II at room temperature in the presence of fac-Ir(ppy)₃. This approach features simple operation, high efficiency, and specific selectivity.

A simple one-pot method for the synthesis of 2-substituted quinolin-4(1H)-ones from synthetically accessible 2-(2-aryl(alkyl)- 3-oxoindolin-2-yl)-2-phenylacetonitriles was developed.

The aim of this work was to synthesize and study the antituberculosis activity of spirocyclic inhibitors of the MmpL3 protein of M. tu- berculosis containing the 1-oxa-9-azaspiro[5.5]undecane scaffold. Optimization of the initial structure was performed with consideration of the results of molecular docking. The resulting compounds, characterized by the chemical diversity of the peripheral fragment, showed high activity against the antibiotic-sensitive strain H37Rv and some multiresistant strains of M. tuberculosis, exceeding the activity of the comparator drug.

In the light of recent progress in the development of SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors, the synthesis of their key fragment, heterocyclic amino acids, is of great interest. Here, we report a method for the preparation of two new quisqualic acid analogs containing hydantoin and imidazolidinone moieties. The hydantoin analog was obtained using an amide ester cyclization, while the imidazolidinone unit was constructed by reductive amination and subsequent cyclization of a substituted ethylenediamine with carbonyldiimidazole. The presented approach provides the convergent synthesis of target analogs in 8 and 5 steps respectively.

A new type of one-pot Knoevenagel–Michael reaction with the following NBS-induced cyclization was found: a direct one-pot transformation of aldehydes and two molecules of dimedone into substituted 4H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-2',4,6'-triones in 86–95% yields. This one-pot process is a very efficient and convenient way to access substituted 4H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-2',4,6'-triones – useful compounds for different biomedical applications with reasonable and nonexpensive starting materials. Mild and facile conditions of this chemical cascade one-pot process, as well as non-chromatographic isolation procedure lead to excellent substance yields.

The large-scale experimental measures of variant functional assays submitted to MaveDB have the potential to provide key information for resolving variants of uncertain significance, but the reporting of results relative to assayed sequence hinders their downstream utility. The Atlas of Variant Effects Alliance mapped multiplexed assays of variant effect data to human reference sequences, creating a robust set of machine-readable homology mappings. This method processed approximately 2.5 million protein and genomic variants in MaveDB, successfully mapping 98.61% of examined variants and disseminating data to resources such as the UCSC Genome Browser and Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor.

A method for the synthesis of 1,3,4-thiadiazoline spiro steroids via ring A by the reaction of steroid 3-ketones with oxamic acid thiohydrazides was developed. It was shown that if a keto group was present both in ring A and in ring D of the precursor steroid, the reaction occurred only at the keto group of ring A. A number of new steroidal 3-spiroandrostene-substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazolines were obtained, which could be easily acetylated at the thiadiazole NH group.
