A new series of spiroheterocyclic compounds bearing oxindole/ benzofuran/pyrrolidine/thiazolidine motifs were synthesized via a 1,3-dipolar cyclo-addition reaction approach. The specific compounds were obtained by reactions of chalcones having a benzo[b]furan scaffold (compounds 2a–f), with a substituted isatin (compounds 3a–c) and heterocyclic amino acids (compounds 4a,b). The target spiroindolone analogues 5a–r were evaluated for their potential inhibitory activities against the enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Preliminary results indicated that some of the target compounds exhibit promising α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Among the tested spiroindolone analogues, the cycloadduct 5r was found to be the most active (IC50 = 22.61 0.54 µM and 14.05 1.03 µM) as α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors, with selectivity ± ± indexes of 0.62 and 1.60, respectively. Docking studies were carried out to confirm the binding interaction between the enzyme active site and the spiroindolone analogues. Keywords: spiroindolone; antidiabetic; hypoglycemic; α-amylase; α-glucosidase 1. Introduction Diabetes is a serious disease, classified as chronic, that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin (a hormone that regulates blood glucose), or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin well [1]. According to the World Health Organization more than 400 million people live with diabetes and this number may raise to 592 million by 2035, due to increased incidence of adult onset diabetes (T2DM) [2,3]. Increased blood glucose levels, a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes, may, over time, lead to serious consequences, including coronary heart disease, liver damage, retinopathy, nephropathy, strokes, and peripheral nephropathy [4]. α-Amylase and α-glucosidase are key enzymes involve in the breakdown and intestinal absorption of carbohydrates, respectively. Inhibition of these enzymes hampers blood glucose level increases after consumption of carbohydrates and can be an important strategy in the management of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) [5]. α-Amylases are distributed across various organisms and show diverse substrate specificities, while possessing a common topology formed by Molecules 2019, 24, 2342; doi:10.3390/molecules24122342 www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules Molecules 2019, 24, 2342 2 of 20 three domains, one of which being a typical α-β barrel.

  • Synthesis of Indole and Oxindole Derivatives Incorporating Pyrrolidino, Pyrrolo Or Imidazolo Moieties
    From DEPARTMENT OF BIOSCIENCES AT NOVUM Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden SYNTHESIS OF INDOLE AND OXINDOLE DERIVATIVES INCORPORATING PYRROLIDINO, PYRROLO OR IMIDAZOLO MOIETIES Stanley Rehn Stockholm 2004 All previously published papers have been reproduced with permission from the publishers. Published and printed by Karolinska University Press Box 200, SE-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden © Stanley Rehn, 2004 ISBN 91-7140-169-5 Till Amanda Abstract The focus of this thesis is on the synthesis of oxindole- and indole-derivatives incorporating pyrrolidins, pyrroles or imidazoles moieties. Pyrrolidino-2-spiro-3’-oxindole derivatives have been prepared in high yielding three-component reactions between isatin, α-amino acid derivatives, and suitable dipolarophiles. Condensation between isatin and an α-amino acid yielded a cyclic intermediate, an oxazolidinone, which decarboxylate to give a 1,3-dipolar species, an azomethine ylide, which have been reacted with several dipolarophiles such as N- benzylmaleimide and methyl acrylate. Both N-substituted and N-unsubstituted α- amino acids have been used as the amine component. 3-Methyleneoxindole acetic acid ethyl ester was reacted with p- toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) under basic conditions which gave (in a high yield) a colourless product. Two possible structures could be deduced from the analytical data, a pyrroloquinolone and an isomeric ß-carboline. To clarify which one of the alternatives that was actually formed from the TosMIC reaction both the ß- carboline and the pyrroloquinolone were synthesised. The ß-carboline was obtained when 3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester was treated with a tosylimine. An alternative synthesis of the pyrroloquinolone was performed via a reduction of a 2,3,4-trisubstituted pyrrole obtained in turn by treatment of a vinyl sulfone with ethyl isocyanoacetate under basic conditions.

The chemical starting point 20-phenylspiro[indoline-3,30-pyrrolidin]-2-one scaffold was identified by virtual fragment screening utilizing ligand- and structure based methods. As a part of the hit-to-lead optimization a structure-activity relationship analysis was performed to explore the differently substituted 20-phenyl-derivatives, introducing the phenylsulphonyl pharmacophore and examining the corresponding reduced spiro[pyrrolidine-3,30-indoline] scaffold. The optimization process led to ligands with submicromolar affinities towards the 5-HT6 receptor that might serve as viable leads for further optimization. Keywords: oxindole; indoline; coerulescine; 5-HT6R; G-protein coupled receptor 1. Introduction The recent isolation of naturally occurring and biologically active spiropyrrolidinyl-oxindole alkaloids initiated a significant research on synthetic derivatives [1], particularly compounds with the spiro[indoline-3,30-pyrrolidine]-2-one ring system.

  • And 3-Vinylindoles As 4Π Components in Cycloaddition Reactions
    2- and 3-Vinylindoles as 4π Components in Cycloaddition Reactions [a] [a] [a] Elisabetta Rossi,* Giorgio Abbiati, and Valentina Pirovano [a] Dipartimento di Scienze Farmaceutiche, Sezione di Chimica Generale e Organica “A. Marchesini”, 21, Via Venezian, 20133 Milano, Italy E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The review summarizes the most recent achievements in the chemistry of 2-vinylindoles and 3-vinylindoles. In particular, we focus on the behavior of these compounds as dienes in cycloaddition reactions. The majority of the literature in this field deals with [4+2] cycloaddition, and only one report of [4+1] cycloaddition has appeared in the literature until now. Thus, the main section reviews [4+2] cycloaddition with acti- vated cyclic and acyclic dienophiles under Lewis-acid catalysis or organocatalysis conditions. In addition, cycloadditions performed with simple -systems as dienophiles, occurring through activation by transition-metal catalysts, are reviewed. This section mainly involves the use of allenes as dienophiles under gold catalysis conditions. In both cases, the authors report excellent levels of diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. Two separate subsections deal with the synthesis of natural compounds and with the use of methyleneindolinones as dienophiles. Elisabetta Rossi obtained her master's degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology in 1981 from the University of Milan. In 1984 she obtained a specialization qualification in Analytical and Chemical Methodologies for Fine Chemicals at the Politecnico of Milan. In 1984 she became Assistant Professor, and in 2001, after a four-year period at University of L'Aquila, she was appointed Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Milan.

    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors in Acute Lung Injury: What Are the Perspectives? Daniela Mokra 1,* and Juraj Mokry 2 1 Department of Physiology, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin, Comenius University in Bratislava, 03601 Martin, Slovakia 2 Department of Pharmacology, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin, Comenius University in Bratislava, 03601 Martin, Slovakia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Despite progress in understanding the pathophysiology of acute lung damage, currently approved treatment possibilities are limited to lung-protective ventilation, prone positioning, and supportive interventions. Various pharmacological approaches have also been tested, with neuro- muscular blockers and corticosteroids considered as the most promising. However, inhibitors of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) also exert a broad spectrum of favorable effects potentially beneficial in acute lung damage. This article reviews pharmacological action and therapeutical potential of nonselective and selective PDE inhibitors and summarizes the results from available studies focused on the use of PDE inhibitors in animal models and clinical studies, including their adverse effects. The data suggest that xanthines as representatives of nonselective PDE inhibitors may reduce acute lung damage, and decrease mortality and length of hospital stay. Various (selective) PDE3, PDE4, and PDE5 inhibitors have also demonstrated stabilization of the pulmonary epithelial–endothelial barrier

Received: 5 April 2020; Accepted: 3 May 2020; Published: 5 May 2020 Abstract: New D-π-A configured organic sensitizers featuring halogen-substituted oxindole-bridged acceptor units have been synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells applications. Among fluorine, bromine, and iodine substitution, the cell based on bromine incorporated dye exhibited the highest efficiency. The oxindoles in these sensitizers were found to assist the electron injection through the chelation of their amide carbonyl groups to the TiO2 surface. This study provides an alternate approach for future rational dye design to gain excellent DSSC performance. Keywords: oxindoles; halogens; electron injection; dye-sensitized solar cells 1. Introduction Energy harvesting directly from the sunlight using the photovoltaic technology is being increasingly recognized as an essential strategy for future global energy production [1]. Finding energy generating devices using inexpensive and environment-friendly materials has become a well-focused academic and industrial research topic.
