- ItemPalladium-catalyzed synthesis and nucleotide pyrophosphatase inhibition of benzo[4,5]furo[3,2-b]indoles(Frankfurt, Main : Beilstein-Institut zur Förderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2019) Do, Hoang Huy; Ullah, Saif; Villinger, Alexander; Lecka, Joanna; Sévigny, Jean; Ehlers, Peter; Iqbal, Jamshed; Langer, PeterA two-step palladium-catalyzed procedure based on Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling, followed by a double Buchwald–Hartwig reaction, allows for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant benzo[4,5]furo[3,2-b]indoles in moderate to very good yield. The synthesized compounds have been analyzed with regard to their inhibitory activity (IC50) of nucleotide pyrophosphatases h-NPP1 and h-NPP3. The activity lies in the nanomolar range. The results were rationalized based on docking studies. © 2019 Do et al.

New sensors 1–5 showed a dual mode, nucleophilic addition and a host–guest type complex towards anion (F−, AcO− and ascorbate) detection. Small anions (F−/AcO−) showed nucleophilic addition at the C2 position of the quinoxalinium cation, while larger anions (ascorbate), revealed the formation of a host–guest type complex due to the steric hindrance posed by the C3 of the phenyl ring. Nucleophilic addition of small anions (F−/AcO−) leads to the de-aromatization of the quinoxalinium cation. However in the case of the larger anion, ascorbate, the host–guest type complex formation induces changes in the absorption/fluorescence signals of the quinoxalinium moiety. This selective binding has been confirmed on the basis of the 1H NMR spectroscopic technique, whereupon nucleophilic addition of small anions (F−/AcO−) was confirmed by monitoring the characteristic proton NMR signals of Ha and the methylene protons (CH2), which were clearly shifted in the cases of fluoride and acetate ion addition confirming the de-aromatization and nucleophilic addition. Whereas no such peak shifting was observed in the case of ascorbate ion addition confirming the non-covalent addition of ascorbate. Theoretical insight into the selectivity and complexation behavior of the ascorbate ion with the quinoxaline moiety is gained through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, the absorption properties of these complexes are modeled theoretically, and compared with the experimental data. In addition, the thermal decomposition of sensors (1 and 2) has been studied by the means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), and differential thermogravimetry (DTG) to signify their utility at variable temperatures.
