Abu Yousef M, Matsubara R. Recent progress in synthesis and application of furoxan. RSC Adv 2023; 13:5228-5248. [PMID: 36777951 PMCID: PMC9910416 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra00189j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
This review highlights recent developments in the synthesis and application of furoxan. The chemistry of furoxan is relatively underdeveloped compared to that of other heterocycles owing to its difficult synthesis, which is ascribed to the labile nature of this molecule under various reaction conditions. Nevertheless, recent studies have conducted a variety of bond-forming reactions on the furoxan ring via a post-ring introduction of substituents (PRIS) strategy. This strategy enables the synthesis of furoxan molecules of interest more directly than the conventional methods that rely on the pre-installation of substituents on the furoxan ring precursors. In this review, the PRIS strategy for furoxan synthesis is classified and discussed according to the type of bond formed. Additionally, recent progress in the application of furoxan molecules, predominantly facilitated by the development of new synthetic methods, is covered in this review.

Beilstein J Org Chem 2022; 18:446-458.

Abstract
Herein we report a method for the synthesis of 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles in water under mild basic conditions at room temperature via a [3 + 2]-cycloaddition of nitrile oxides and 1,3-diketones, β-ketoesters, or β-ketoamides. We optimized the reaction conditions to control the selectivity of the production of isoxazoles and circumvent other competing reactions, such as O-imidoylation or hetero [3 + 2]-cycloaddition. The reaction happens fast in water and completes within 1–2 hours, which provides an environmentally friendly access to 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles, an important class of structures found in numerous bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, we optimized the reaction conditions to produce trifluoromethyl-substituted isoxazoles, a prevalent scaffold in biomedical research and drug discovery programs. We also proposed a plausible mechanism for the selectivity of the [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction to produce 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles. Not to be overlooked are our optimized reaction conditions for the dimerization of hydroximoyl chlorides to form furoxans also known as 1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxides, a class of structures with important biological activities due to their unique electronic nature and coordination ability.

Solvent-free mechanical milling is a new, environmentally friendly and cost-effective technology that is now widely used in the field of organic synthesis. The mechanochemical solvent-free synthesis of furoxans from aldoximes was achieved through dimerization of the in situ generated nitrile oxides in the presence of sodium chloride, Oxone and a base. A variety of furoxans was obtained with up to a 92% yield. The present protocol has the advantages of high reaction efficiency and mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule that acts in various physiological processes such as cellular metabolism, vasodilation and transmission of nerve impulses. A wide number of vascular diseases as well as various immune and neurodegenerative disorders were found to be directly associated with a disruption of NO production in living organisms. These issues justify a constant search of novel NO-donors with improved pharmacokinetic profiles and prolonged action. In a series of known structural classes capable of NO release, heterocyclic NO-donors are of special importance due to their increased hydrolytic stability and low toxicity. It is no wonder that synthetic and biochemical investigations of heterocyclic NO-donors have emerged significantly in recent years. In this review, we summarized recent advances in the synthesis, reactivity and biomedical applications of promising heterocyclic NO-donors (furoxans, sydnone imines, pyridazine dioxides, azasydnones). The synthetic potential of each heterocyclic system along with biochemical mechanisms of action are emphasized.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Iran, next to heart disease. Current
therapy suffers from the major limitations of side effects and drug resistance, so the characterization
of new structures that can be power-selective and less-toxic anticancer agents is the
main challenge to medicinal chemistry research. Furoxan (1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxide) is a crucial
compound with many medicinal and pharmaceutical properties. The most important aspect
of furoxan is the nitric oxide (NO) molecule. One of the most essential furoxan derivatives,
which could be utilized in medicinal goals and pharmaceutical affairs, is benzofuroxan.
Furoxan could be described as a NO-donating compound in a variety of reactions, which
could also appear as hybridised with different medicinal compounds. This review article presents
a summary of syntheses and antitumor properties of furoxan derivatives as possible
chemotherapy agents for cancer. Furoxan can inhibit tumor growth in vivo without any side
effects in normal cells. Furthermore, due to NO-releasing in high levels in vivo and a wide
range of anticancer compounds, furoxan derivatives and especially its hybridised compounds could be considered as
antitumor, cytotoxic and apoptosis compounds to be applied in the human body.

Abstract
A straightforward synthesis of a series of previously unknown N-(1,2,5-oxadiazolyl)hydrazones through the diazotization/reduction/condensation cascade of amino-1,2,5-oxadiazoles was accomplished. The described protocol was suitable for a wide array of target hydrazones, which were prepared in good to high yields under smooth reaction conditions with very good functional group tolerance. Importantly, the presented approach unveils a direct route to in situ generation of previously inaccessible (1,2,5-oxadiazolyl)hydrazines. In addition, a first example of the ionic structure incorporating a protonated hydrazone motif linked to the 1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxide subunit was synthesized, indicating the stability of prepared compounds toward acid-promoted hydrolysis. Overall, this method provides a direct access to the isosteric analogues of drug candidates for treatment of various neglected diseases, thus enabling their potential application in medicinal chemistry and drug design.
