Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed thioarylation of indoles by diaryl disulfides in the presence of phenyliododiacetate is reported. The directing potential of weakly coordinating aldehyde group present at 3-position of indole was exploited for regioselective C2-H thioarylation over the possible C4-H functionalization. Mechanistic studies reveal that the process involves initial generation of thioaryl radical followed by sequential C-H activation, thiolate transfer, and reductive elimination.

Abstract
The Hauser-Kraus (H-K) annulation of N-unsubstituted 3-olefinic oxindoles with 3-nucleophilic phthalides triggers a cascade of ring expansion and ring contraction reactions through several regioselective steps in one pot. While oxazepines were isolated in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of base at room temperature, carbazoles and phenanthridinediones were the products in the presence of excess base and microwave irradiation. Mechanistic studies guided by stepwise reactions and control experiments revealed that the isolable oxazepine intermediate, formed via ring expansion of the H-K adduct, is the key precursor to carbazole and phenanthridinedione via decarboxylative regioselective cyclizations.

Abstract
S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), a sulfonium-based cofactor, plays an important role in numerous biological processes as methyl donor. Inspired by the function of sulfonium motif in this nature's synthetic toolkit, we here present an aryne-activation strategy that the sulfonium intermediates in situ generated from thioethers display unique reactivity toward alkyl group transposition. Experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the reaction occurs in an intermolecular fashion where the TfO--incorporated [K(18-crown-6)] complex acts as a key promoter for this thermodynamically favored process. Next, a series of robust, easy-to-prepare sulfonium salts are designed and developed as electrophilic alkylation reagents accordingly. Both systems feature for broad scope, excellent selectivity, and simple operation. Moreover, we highlight the synthetic value through molecular editing and late-stage modification of complex scaffolds or even active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Abstract
The biochemical role of the PI3K/PKB/mTOR signalling pathway in cell-cycle regulation is now well known. During the onset and development of different forms of cancer it becomes overactive reducing apoptosis and allowing cell proliferation. Therefore, this pathway has become an important target for the treatment of various forms of malignant tumors, including breast cancer and follicular lymphoma. Recently, several more or less selective inhibitors targeting these proteins have been identified. In general, drugs that act on multiple targets within the entire pathway are more efficient than single targeting inhibitors. Multiple inhibitors exhibit high potency and limited drug resistance, resulting in promising anticancer agents. In this context, the present survey focuses on small molecule drugs capable of modulating the PI3K/PKB/mTOR signalling pathway, thus representing drugs or drug candidates to be used in the pharmacological treatment of different forms of cancer.

Abstract
The discovery of a safe and efficacious drug is a complex, time-consuming, and expensive process. Computational methodologies driven by cheminformatics tools play a central role in the high-throughput lead discovery and optimization process especially when the structure of the biological target is known. Monoamine oxidases are the membrane-bound FAD-containing enzymes and the isoform monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) is an attractive target for treating diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, glioma, etc. In the current study, we have used a pharmacophore-based virtual screening technique for the identification of new small molecule MAO-B inhibitors. Safinamide was used for building a pharmacophore model and the developed model was used to probe the ZINC database for potential hits. The obtained hits were filtered against drug-likeness and PAINS. Out of the hit's library, two compounds ZINC02181408, ZINC08853942 (most active), and ZINC53327382 (least active) were further subjected to molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies to assess their virtual binding affinities and stability of the resultant protein-ligand complex. The docking studies revealed that active ligands were well accommodated within the active site of MAO-B and interacted with both substrate and entrance cavity residues. MD simulation studies unveiled additional hydrogen bond interactions with the substrate cavity residues, Tyr398 and Tyr435 that are crucial for the catalytic role of MAO-B. Moreover, the predicted ADMET parameters suggest that the compounds ZINC08853942 and ZINC02181408 are suitable for CNS penetration. Thus, the attempted computational campaign yielded two potential MAO-B inhibitors that merit further experimental investigation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Research on the immune system and cancer has led to the development of new medicines that enable the former to attack cancer cells. Drugs that specifically target and destroy cancer cells are on the horizon; there are also drugs that use specific signals to stop cancer cells multiplying. Machine learning algorithms can significantly support and increase the rate of research on complicated diseases to help find new remedies. One area of medical study that could greatly benefit from machine learning algorithms is the exploration of cancer genomes and the discovery of the best treatment protocols for different subtypes of the disease. However, developing a new drug is time-consuming, complicated, dangerous, and costly. Traditional drug production can take up to 15 years, costing over USD 1 billion. Therefore, computer-aided drug design (CADD) has emerged as a powerful and promising technology to develop quicker, cheaper, and more efficient designs. Many new technologies and methods have been introduced to enhance drug development productivity and analytical methodologies, and they have become a crucial part of many drug discovery programs; many scanning programs, for example, use ligand screening and structural virtual screening techniques from hit detection to optimization. In this review, we examined various types of computational methods focusing on anticancer drugs. Machine-based learning in basic and translational cancer research that could reach new levels of personalized medicine marked by speedy and advanced data analysis is still beyond reach. Ending cancer as we know it means ensuring that every patient has access to safe and effective therapies. Recent developments in computational drug discovery technologies have had a large and remarkable impact on the design of anticancer drugs and have also yielded useful insights into the field of cancer therapy. With an emphasis on anticancer medications, we covered the various components of computer-aided drug development in this paper. Transcriptomics, toxicogenomics, functional genomics, and biological networks are only a few examples of the bioinformatics techniques used to forecast anticancer medications and treatment combinations based on multi-omics data. We believe that a general review of the databases that are now available and the computational techniques used today will be beneficial for the creation of new cancer treatment approaches.

Abstract
Kimchi is a globally consumed food with diverse health-benefits, but the low-abundance bioactive compounds in kimchi remain largely neglected. Here we show that kimchi contains a family of low-abundance (0.5-1.6 μg/g, dried weight) high-order indole oligomers derived from indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a breakdown product released from cruciferous vegetables used for producing the traditional subsidiary food. The structure determination of such complex molecules was accomplished by synthesizing linear indole oligomers as standard materials followed by the LC-HR-MS analysis. One indole tetramer (LTe2) is substantially toxic to tumor MV4-11 (IC50 = 1.94 μM) and THP-1 cells (IC50 = 7.12 μM). Collectively, the work adds valuable information to the knowledge package about kimchi, and may inspire the generation of indole-based molecules, to which many drugs belong.

Abstract
An ecofriendly, inexpensive, and efficient route for synthesizing 3,3'-bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) and their derivatives was carried out by an electrophilic substitution reaction of indole with structurally divergent aldehydes and ketones using taurine and water as a green catalyst and solvent, respectively, under sonication conditions. Using water as the only solvent, the catalytic process demonstrated outstanding activity, productivity, and broad functional group tolerance, affording the required BIM natural products and derivatives in excellent yields (59-90%). Furthermore, in silico based structure activity analysis of the synthesized BIM derivatives divulges their potential ability to bind antineoplastic drug target and spindle motor protein kinesin Eg5. The precise binding mode of BIM derivatives with the ATPase motor domain of Eg5 is structurally reminiscent with previously reported allosteric inhibitor Arry520, which is under phase III clinical trials. Nevertheless, detailed analysis of the binding poses indicates that BIM derivatives bind the allosteric pocket of the Eg5 motor domain more robustly than Arry520; moreover, unlike Arry520, BIM binding is found to be resistant to drug-resistant mutations of Eg5. Accordingly, a structure-guided mechanism of Eg5 inhibition by synthesized BIM derivatives is proposed.

Abstract
In this paper, bis (indol-3-yl) methanes (BIMs) were synthesised and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. All synthesised compounds showed potential α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities. Compounds 5 g (IC50: 7.54 ± 1.10 μM), 5e (IC50: 9.00 ± 0.97 μM), and 5 h (IC50: 9.57 ± 0.62 μM) presented strongest inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase, that were ∼ 30 times stronger than acarbose. Compounds 5 g (IC50: 32.18 ± 1.66 µM), 5 h (IC50: 31.47 ± 1.42 µM), and 5 s (IC50: 30.91 ± 0.86 µM) showed strongest inhibitory activities towards α-amylase, ∼ 2.5 times stronger than acarbose. The mechanisms and docking simulation of the compounds were also studied. Compounds 5 g and 5 h exhibited bifunctional inhibitory activity against these two enzymes. Furthermore, compounds showed no toxicity against 3T3-L1 cells and HepG2 cells.Highlights A series of bis (indol-3-yl) methanes (BIMs) were synthesised and evaluated inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. Compound 5g exhibited promising activity (IC50 = 7.54 ± 1.10 μM) against α-glucosidase. Compound 5s exhibited promising activity (IC50 = 30.91 ± 0.86 μM) against α-amylase. In silico studies were performed to confirm the binding interactions of synthetic compounds with the enzyme active site.

Abstract
This review intends to summarize the structures of an extensive number of symmetrical-dimeric drugs, having two monomers linked via a bridging entity while emphasizing the large versatility of biologically active substances reported to possess dimeric structures. The largest number of classes of these compounds consist of anticancer agents, antibiotics/antimicrobials, and anti-AIDS drugs. Other symmetrical-dimeric drugs include antidiabetics, antidepressants, analgesics, anti-inflammatories, drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, anticholesterolemics, estrogenics, antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors, anti-Parkisonians, laxatives, antiallergy compounds, cannabinoids, etc. Most of the articles reviewed do not compare the activity/potency of the dimers to that of their corresponding monomers. Only in limited cases, various suggestions have been made to justify unexpected higher activity of the dimers vs. the corresponding monomers. These suggestions include statistical effects, the presence of dimeric receptors, binding of a dimer to two receptors simultaneously, and others. It is virtually impossible to predict which dimers will be preferable to their respective monomers, or which linking bridges will lead to the most active compounds. It is expected that the extensive number of articles summarized, and the large variety of substances mentioned, which display various biological activities, should be of interest to many academic and industrial medicinal chemists.

Abstract
Phenols are important readily available chemical feedstocks and versatile synthetic building blocks for diverse synthetic transformations. Their motifs are prevalent in a diverse array of natural products, pharmaceuticals, functional materials, and privileged chiral ligands. Consequently, the development of facile and direct site-selective C-H bond functionalization of free phenols is of great importance and considerable interest to both industry and academic research. Over the past decades, transition-metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization has become as a powerful synthetic tool in organic synthesis. In this review, we provide a brief overview of recent progress in the transition-metal-catalyzed direct ortho-selective C-H functionalization of free phenols.

Abstract
A phytoalexin, Resveratrol remains a legendary anticancer drug candidate in the archives of scientific literature. Although earlier wet-lab experiments rendering its multiple biological targets, for example, epidermal growth factors, Pro-apoptotic protein p53, sirtuins, and first apoptosis signal (Fas) receptor, Mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) ubiquitin-protein ligase, Estrogen receptor, Quinone reductase, etc. However, notwithstanding some notable successes, identification of an appropriate Resveratrol target(s) has remained a major challenge using physical methods, and hereby limiting its translation into an effective therapeutic(s). Thus, computational insights are much needed to establish proof-of-concept towards potential Resveratrol target(s) with minimum error rate, narrow down the search space, and to assess a more accurate Resveratrol signaling pathway/mechanism at the starting point. Herein, a brute-force technique combining computational receptor-, ligand-based virtual screening, and classification-based machine learning, reveals the precise mechanism of Resveratrol action. Overall, MDM2 ubiquitin-protein ligase (4OGN.pdb) and co-crystallized quinone reductases 2 (4QOH.pdb) were found two suitable drug targets in the case of Resveratrol derivatives. Indeed, carotenoid cleaving oxygenase together with later twos gave gigantic momentum in guiding the rational drug design of Resveratrol derivatives. These molecular modeling insights would be useful for Resveratrol lead optimization into a more precise science.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Heterocyclic are a class of compounds that are intricately entwined into life processes.
Almost more than 90% of marketed drugs carry heterocycles. Synthetic chemistry, in
turn, allocates a cornucopia of heterocycles. Among the heterocycles, indole, a bicyclic structure
consisting of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered pyrrole ring with
numerous pharmacophores that generate a library of various lead molecules. Due to its profound
pharmacological profile, indole got wider attention around the globe to explore it fully
in the interest of mankind. The current review covers recent advancements on indole in the
design of various anti-cancer agents acting by targeting various enzymes or receptors, including
(HDACs), sirtuins, PIM kinases, DNA topoisomerases, and σ receptors.

Abstract
The one-step C-methylenation of anilines and indoles with CO2 and phenylsilane was catalyzed by a pentanuclear ZnII complex to give diarylmethanes via geminal C-H and C-C bond formation. It is proposed that the zinc-hydride complex generated in situ is a catalytically active species and that bis(silyl)acetal is a key intermediate. When aniline was used as a substrate, both the C-methylenation and N-methylation proceeded.

Abstract
Carbazole is an essential building block in various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, natural products, and materials. For future sustainability, it is highly desirable to synthesize carbazole derivatives directly from renewable resources or cheap raw materials. Phenolic compounds are a class of degradation products of lignin. On the other hand, ammonia is a very cheap industrial inorganic chemical. Herein, an efficient dearomatization-rearomatization strategy has been developed to directly cross-couple 2,2'-biphenols with ammonia by dual C(Ar)-OH bond cleavages. This strategy provides a greener pathway to synthesize valuable carbazole derivatives from phenols.

Abstract
The present manuscript pertains to the design and synthesis of a series of 3-hydroxyindole-substituted β-carbolines/tetrahydro-β-carbolines with an aim to explore their antiproliferative structure-activity relationship against breast cancer. The conjugate with an optimum combination of a flexible tetrahydro-β-carboline core, a tertiary alcoholic group along with a chloro substituent on the indole ring, proved to be the most active compound. It displayed IC50 values of 13.61 and 22.76 μM against MCF-7 (ER+) and MDA-MB-231 (ER-) cells, respectively. The docking studies were found to be consistent with experimental results owing to the stronger binding affinity of the synthesized conjugates via hydrophobic and H-bonding interactions.

Abstract
Indoles of cruciferous vegetables are promising anti-tumor agents. Studies with indole-3-carbinol and its dimeric product, 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), suggest that these compounds have the ability to deregulate multiple cellular signaling pathways that are essential for tumor growth and spread. These natural compounds are also effective modulators of transcription factors and non-coding RNAs. These effects explain their ability to inhibit tumor spread and to overcome drug resistance. In this work, pertinent literature on the effects of DIM and its synthetic derivatives on resistant tumors and resistance mechanisms in tumors is highlighted.

Abstract
New drug discovery has been acknowledged as a complicated, expensive, time-consuming, and challenging project. It has been estimated that around 12 years and 2.7 billion USD, on average, are demanded for a new drug discovery via traditional drug development pipeline. How to reduce the research cost and speed up the development process of new drug discovery has become a challenging, urgent question for the pharmaceutical industry. Computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) has emerged as a powerful, and promising technology for faster, cheaper, and more effective drug design. Recently, the rapid growth of computational tools for drug discovery, including anticancer therapies, has exhibited a significant and outstanding impact on anticancer drug design, and has also provided fruitful insights into the area of cancer therapy. In this work, we discussed the different subareas of the computer-aided drug discovery process with a focus on anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Polysubstituted arenes serve as ubiquitous structural cores of aromatic compounds with significant applications in chemistry, biological science, and materials science. Among all the synthetic approaches toward these highly functionalized arenes, organocatalytic benzannulation represents one of the most efficient and versatile transformations in the assembly of structurally diverse arene architectures under mild conditions with exceptional chemo-, regio- or stereoselectivities. Thus, the development of new benzannulation reactions through organocatalysis has attracted much attention in the past ten years. This review systemically presents recent advances in the organocatalytic benzannulation strategies, categorized as follows: (1) Brønsted acid-catalysis, (2) secondary amine catalysis, (3) primary amine catalysis, (4) tertiary amine catalysis, (5) tertiary phosphine catalysis, and (6) N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis. Each part is further classified into several types according to the number of carbon atoms contributed by different synthons participating in the cyclization reaction. The reaction mechanisms involved in different benzannulation strategies were highlighted. Organocatalytic benzannulation represents one of the most efficient transformations for assembling polysubstituted arenes, this review presents recent advances in organocatalytic benzannulation strategies to construct functionalized benzenes.![]()

Abstract
The dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) family of receptors possesses a large binding cavity that imparts promiscuity for number of ligand binding which is not common to other receptors. This feature increases the challenge of using computational methods to identify DPP-IV inhibitors, therefore using both pharmacophore and structure-based screening seems to be a reliable approach. Mining of novel DPP-IV inhibitors by integrating both of these in silico techniques was reported. Pharmacophore model (Model_008) obtained from structurally diverse reported compounds was used as a template for screening of MolMall database followed by structure-based screening against PDB ID: 5T4E. After absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) analysis of shortlisted compounds, consensus docking and molecular mechanics/generalized born surface area studies were carried out. The results of the docking studies obtained were comparable to that of the reference ligand. Out of nine hits identified, only one hit (ID MolMall-20062) was available which was procured through exchange program. Molecular dynamic simulation studies of the procured hit revealed its good selectivity and stability in DPP-IV binding pocket and interactions observed with important amino acids viz., Trp629, Lys544 and Arg125. Biological testing of the compound MolMall-20062 showed promising DPP-IV inhibition activity with IC50: 6.2 µM. Compound MolMall-20062 could be taken as a good lead for the development of DPP-IV inhibitors.AbbreviationsADMEabsorption, distribution, metabolism and excretionChEBIchemical entities of biological interestDPP-IVdipeptidyl peptidase IVDISCOtechdistance comparisonsHTVShigh throughput virtual screeningMDmolecular dynamicsMM-GBSAmolecular mechanics-generalized born surface areaOGTToral glucose tolerance testPBVSpharmacophore-based virtual screeningPDBprotein data bankRMSDroot mean square deviationROCreceiver operating characteristicsSPstandard precisionSBVSstructure-based virtual screeningVSvirtual screeningXPextra precisionCommunicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed annulation of 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-oxopropanenitriles with sulfoxonium ylides or diazo compounds has been developed, leading to a series of polysubstituted carbazoles in moderate to good yields. This procedure proceeded with formal Rh(iii)-catalyzed (4 + 2) cycloaddition, with the functionalization of 2-C-H bonds of indole in a step-economical procedure. Additionally, this reaction could also be conducted under acidic conditions when diazo compounds were employed as the reaction partners, which was a complement to the annulation of sulfoxonium ylides under weak basic conditions.

Abstract
A formal [1 + 2 + 3] annulation of methyleneindolinones with o-alkenyl arylisocyanides has been developed for the general and efficient synthesis of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical indolo[3,2- b]carbazoles. The chemoselectivity of this domino reaction was tuned by a tethered alkenyl group, which enables successive formation of three new bonds and two rings from readily accessible starting materials in a single operation. Furthermore, this methodology was used as a key step in the synthesis of the alkaloid malasseziazole C.

Abstract
The indolocarbazoles are an important class of nitrogen heterocycles which has evolved significantly in recent years, with numerous studies focusing on their diverse biological effects, or targeting new materials with potential applications in organic electronics. This review aims at providing a broad survey of the chemistry and properties of indolocarbazoles from an interdisciplinary point of view, with particular emphasis on practical synthetic aspects, as well as certain topics which have not been previously accounted for in detail, such as the occurrence, formation, biological activities, and metabolism of indolo[3,2- b]carbazoles. The literature of the past decade forms the basis of the text, which is further supplemented with older key references.

Abstract
Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) is a serine/threonine kinase which is implicated in mediating a variety of biological responses including cell growth, proliferation and survival. Akt is activated by phosphorylation on two critical residues, namely threonine 308 (Thr308) and serine 473 (Ser473). Several studies have found Akt2 to be amplified or overexpressed at the mRNA level in various tumor cell lines and in a number of human malignancies such as colon, pancreatic and breast cancers. Nevertheless, activation of Akt isoforms by phosphorylation appears to be more clinically significant than Akt2 amplification or overexpression. Many studies in the past 4–5 years have revealed a prognostic and/or predictive role of Akt phosphorylation in breast, prostate and non-small cell lung cancer. Several publications suggest a role of phosphorylated Akt also in endometrial, pancreatic, gastric, tongue and renal cancer. However, different types of assays were used in these studies. Before assessment of P-Akt can be incorporated into routine clinical practice, all aspects of the assay methodology will have to be standardized.
