Kornet MM, Müller TJJ. Recent Advances in Sequentially Pd-Catalyzed One-Pot Syntheses of Heterocycles. Molecules 2024; 29:5265. [PMID: 39598654 PMCID: PMC11596252 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29225265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2024] [Revised: 11/01/2024] [Accepted: 11/05/2024] [Indexed: 11/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Sequential Pd-catalyzed one-pot synthetic methodologies have emerged as a powerful and versatile approach in organic synthesis, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic architectures with high efficiency, selectivity, and atom economy. This review discusses key advancements in multistep, sequentially Pd-catalyzed one-pot processes for accessing heterocyclic derivatives, focusing on classic reactions like Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, Heck, and hydroamination and extending to specialized techniques such as directed C-H activation. The concatenation of these steps has advanced the scope of one-pot strategies. A section is dedicated to exploring the cooperative use of palladium with other metals, particularly copper, ruthenium, and gold, which has broadened the range of accessible heterocyclic derivatives. Highlighted applications include the synthesis of biologically and pharmaceutically relevant compounds, such as tris(hetero)aryl systems, spiro-oxindoles, and indole derivatives. These one-pot strategies not only streamline synthesis but also align with green chemistry principles by minimizing purification steps and reducing waste and energy consumption. The review also addresses current challenges and limitations in these methodologies, offering insights into ongoing efforts to optimize reaction conditions and expand the applicability of sequential Pd-catalyzed processes.

Development of 1-(2-aminophenyl)pyrrole-based amides acting as human topoisomerase I inhibitors. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2023; 356:e2300270. [PMID: 37452410 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202300270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes in the human body, particularly involved in cancer development and progression. Topoisomerase I (topoI) performs DNA relaxation reactions by "controlled rotation" rather than by "strand passage." The inhibition of topoI has become a useful strategy to control cancer cell proliferation. Nowadays, different compounds have undergone clinical trials, but the search for new molecular entities is necessary and benefits from medicinal chemistry efforts. Pyrrole-based compounds emerged as promising antiproliferative agents, with particular interest in breast cancer therapy and topoI inhibition. Starting from these observations and based on the scaffold-hopping approach, we developed a small library of 1-(2-aminophenyl)pyrrole-based amides (7a-f) as new anticancer agents. Tested on a panel of cancer cell lines, 7a-f displayed the most interesting profile in MDA-MB-231 cells, where the most active compounds, 7d-f, were able to induce death by apoptosis. Direct enzymatic assays and docking simulations on the topoI active site (PDB: 1A35) revealed the inhibitory activity and potential binding site for the newly developed 1-(2-aminophenyl)pyrrole-based amides.

Elbadawi MM, Eldehna WM, Wang W, Agama KK, Pommier Y, Abe M. Discovery of 4-alkoxy-2-aryl-6,7-dimethoxyquinolines as a new class of topoisomerase I inhibitors endowed with potent in vitro anticancer activity. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 215:113261. [PMID: 33631697 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Revised: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
In our attempt to develop potential anticancer agents targeting Topoisomerase I (TOP1), two novel series of 4-alkoxy-2-arylquinolines 14a-p and 19a-c were designed and synthesized based on structure activity relationships of the reported TOP1 inhibitors and structural features required for stabilization of TOP1-DNA cleavage complexes (TOP1ccs). The in vitro anticancer activity of these two series of compounds was evaluated at one dose level using NCI-60 cancer cell lines panel. Compounds 14e-h and 14m-p, with p-substituted phenyl at C2 and propyl linker at C4, were the most potent and were selected for assay at five doses level in which they exhibited potent anticancer activity at sub-micromolar level against diverse cancer cell lines. Compound 14m was the most potent with full panel GI50 MG-MID 1.26 μM and the most sensitive cancers were colon cancer, leukemia and melanoma with GI50 MG-MID 0.875, 0.904 and 0.926 μM, respectively. Melanoma (LOX IMVI) was the most sensitive cell line to all tested compounds displaying GI50 from 0.116 to 0.227 μM, TGI from 0.275 to 0.592 μM and LC50 at sub-micromolar concentration against almost of the tested compounds. Compounds 14e-h and 14m-p were assayed using TOP1-mediated DNA cleavage assay to evaluate their ability to stabilize TOP1ccs resulting in cancer cell death. The morpholino analogs 14h and 14p exhibited moderate TOP1 inhibitory activity compared to 1 μM camptothecin suggesting their use as lead compounds that can be optimized for the development of more potent anticancer agents with potential TOP1 inhibitory activity. Finally, Swiss ADME online web tool predicted that compounds 14h and 14p possessed good oral bioavailability and druglikeness characteristics.

Abstract
Annona purpurea, known in Mexico as "cabeza de negro" or "ilama", belongs to the Annonaceae family. Its roots are employed in folk medicine in several regions of Mexico. Taking that information into account, a chemical and biological analysis of the components present in the roots of this species was proposed. Our results demonstrated that the dichloromethane (DCM) extract was exclusively constituted by a mixture of five new acetogenins named annopurpuricins A-E (1-5). These compounds have an aliphatic chain of 37 carbons with a terminal α,β unsaturated γ-lactone. Compounds 1 and 2 belong to the adjacent bis-THF (tetrahydrofuran) α-monohydroxylated type, while compounds 3 and 4 belong to the adjacent bis-THF α,α'-dihydroxylated type; only compound 5 possesses a bis-epoxide system. Complete structure analysis was carried out by spectroscopy and chemical methods. All compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity on three human tumor cell lines (MSTO-211H, HeLa and HepG2). Compounds 1-4 inhibited significantly the growth of HeLa and HepG2 cells, showing GI50 values in the low/subnanomolar range, while 5 was completely ineffective under the tested conditions. The investigation of the mechanism of action responsible for cytotoxicity revealed for the most interesting compound 1 the ability to block the complex I activity on isolated rat liver mitochondria (RLM).

Abstract
A versatile unprecedented strategy to diversely functionalized hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole alkaloids is described in high chemical yields. The synthesis features a key Pd(0)-catalyzed deacylative alkylation of N-acyl 3-substituted indoles using only 1 mol% of Pd(PPh3)4. The scope of this methodology is further defined in the asymmetric synthesis of pyrroloindolines using a diastereoselective approach.
