- Abstract
Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of melanin pigment. While the excess production of melanin causes hyperpigmentation of human skin, hypopigmentation results in medical conditions like vitiligo. Tyrosinase inhibitors could be used as efficient skin whitening agents and tyrosinase agonists could be used for enhanced melanin synthesis and skin protection from UV exposure. Among a wide range of tyrosinase-regulating compounds, natural and synthetic derivatives of furochromenones, such as 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), are known to both activate and inhibit tyrosinase. We recently reported a synthetic approach to generate a variety of dihydrofuro[3,2-c]chromenones and furo[3,2-c]chromenones in a metal-free condition. In the present study, we investigated these compounds for their potential as antagonists or agonists of tyrosinase. Using fungal tyrosinase-based in vitro biochemical assay, we obtained one compound (3k) which could inhibit tyrosinase activity, and the other compound (4f) that stimulated tyrosinase activity. The kinetic studies revealed that compound 3k caused 'mixed' type tyrosinase inhibition and 4f stimulated the catalytic efficiency. Studying the mechanisms of these compounds may provide a basis for the development of new effective tyrosinase inhibitors or activators., (© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

- Abstract
Herein, DFT studies corroborating experimental results revealed that the shortest intramolecular hydrogen bonding distance of cis/trans-oxaphosphetane (OPA) oxygen with the CH-hydrogen of a triphenylphosphine phenyl ring provides good evidence for the attained olefin Z/E-selectivity in Wittig olefination of the studied examples. 2-Nitrobenzaldehyde, 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, 2-nitro-3-bromobenzaldehyde, 2-nitro-5-bromobenzaldehyde and 2-nitro-5-arylbenzaldehydes provided Z-nitrostilbenes with (2-chloro-4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl) triphenylphosphonium chloride as the major products. However, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and 2-nitro-6-bromobenzaldehydes furnished E-nitrostilbenes as the major products in high yields. Furthermore, the DFT computed intramolecular CH1/CH2-hydrogen bond distances with Cl/NO
2 of selected stilbene derivatives were in good agreement with intramolecular hydrogen bond distances measured from single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements., (© 2023 The Authors. ChemistryOpen published by Wiley-VCH GmbH.)- Published

- Abstract
Herein, we report a novel and unexpected metal-free oxygenation of 2,3-diphenyl-1-indenones, under an oxygen atmosphere (air), to either 2,3-epoxy-2,3-diphenyl-1-indenone or 2-hydroxy-2,3-diphenyl-1-indanone, depending on the conditions. Several bioactive epoxy indenones and one-pot α-hydroxy indanones (α-acyloin) were synthesized from 2,3-diaryl dihydroindanone and 2,3-diarylindenone, respectively. A plausible reaction mechanism is also proposed, where oxygenation would take place at the α-position and further proton abstraction from the β-position leads to epoxy indenone derivatives. A one-pot cis -hydroxy indanone protocol is also achieved directly from biaryl indenone via reduction, epimerization, and oxygenation. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity against the DNA repair protein AlkB. Among the screened (17 tested) compounds, one epoxide derivative was found to be a specific inhibitor of AlkB enzyme function.

Ahmad SAZ, Jena TK, and Khan FA
- Abstract
Alkyl enol ethers (AEE) are versatile synthetic intermediates with a unique reactivity pattern. This review article summarizes the synthesis of AEE as well as its reactivity and how enol ether undergoes intermolecular reactions for various bond formation, leading to the construction of several useful organic molecules. The synthetic applications of alkyl enol ethers towards intermolecular bond-forming reactions include metal-catalyzed reactions, cycloaddition and heterocycle formation as well as rwactions in the field of natural products synthesis. The achievement of these impressive transformations prove the countless synthetic potential of AEE. The main objective of this review is to bring attentiveness among synthetic chemists to show how AEE extensively can be used to react with both electrophiles as well as nucleophiles, thereby behaving as an ambiphilic reactant. We trust that the unique reactivity pattern of alkyl enol ethers and the fundamental mechanistic idea can attract chemists in AEE chemistry. Exclusively, intermolecular reactions of AEE with other functionalized moieties have not been reviewed to the best of our knowledge., (© 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH.)

- Abstract
Curcumin, a popular herbal medicine derived from turmeric, blocks the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting Cyclooxygenase-1 and 2 (COX-1 and COX2). We have recently reported an efficient method of synthesizing curcumin and synthesised analogues. In the present study, we have investigated sixteen novel analogues of curcumin for their ability to inhibit COX-1 and COX-2. We report here that most of the curcumin analogues display selective inhibition of COX-2, whereas a few suppress COX-1 activity. Further, we examined the binding of these inhibitors by molecular docking and observed that the compound with pronounced selectivity for COX-2 displayed better binding to COX-2 compared to curcumin., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Marine sponges of the genusSuberea produce variety of brominated tyrosine alkaloids which display diverse range of biological activities including antiproliferative, antimicrobial and antimalarial activities. In continuation of our search for biologically active marine natural products for antibacterial compounds, we report here the synthesis and evaluation of biological activity of panel of ianthelliformisamines and subereamine analogues using the literature known acid-amine coupling reaction. Several derivatives of Ianthelliformisamine were achieved by the coupling of Boc-protected polyamine chain with brominated aromatic acrylic acid derivatives by varying the bromine substituents on aromatic acid derivatives, amine spacer as well as geometry of the double bond, and then Boc-deprotection using TFA. Similarly, subereamine analogues were also synthesized employing coupling reaction between various brominated phenyl acrylic acids with commercially available chiral amino ester derivatives followed by ester hydrolysis. We screened these synthetic analogues for antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) strains. One of the compound 7c showed bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an IC

- Abstract
Introduction: We share our experience of managing 15 cases of forgotten double-J (DJ) stent in our tertiary care center., Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of cases with forgotten DJ stent for a period of 2 years spanning from January 2017 to January 2019. The details included sex, age, literacy, socioeconomic status, stenting indication, duration of indwelling stent, presenting complaints, type of encrustations, various treatments given, intraoperative complications, and their management and eventual outcome., Results: The male-to-female ratio was 2:1, and the mean age was 39.5 years (17-65). The mean indwelling time was 31.7 months. The majority of patients had an education score of 1 out of 7 and belonged to lower socioeconomic class according to the modified Kuppuswamy scale. The most common presentation was irritative voiding symptom. The complicated and heavily encrusted stents were managed by combination of endourological procedures, and procedures were staged whenever deemed necessary. Majority of the stents were removed with simple retrograde cystoscopic removal. There was no mortality in our study., Conclusions: A forgotten DJ stent affects population having low education score and belonging to the lower end of the socioeconomic class. Endourological procedures are quite successful in managing a forgotten DJ stent, provided the treatment options are selected judiciously and meticulously. We also suggest some protocols to be followed in our study in order to prevent a forgotten DJ stent., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2020 Urology Annals.)

Jena TK and Khan FA
- Abstract
Herein, we report a one-pot Lewis acid mediated synthesis of bi- and triarylpropanal derivatives and their corresponding isomeric ketones from aromatic enol ethers. This transformation takes place via nucleophilic attack of enol ethers to electron-rich benzyl alcohols. The substrate scope of this indicates that it might proceed via quinomethoxy methide as a key intermediate leading to propanal derivatives, and their Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement afforded isomeric ketones. Further, this methodology was applied for the synthesis of (±)-tetrahydronyasol, propterol A, and 1,3-diarylpropane.

- Abstract
The mammalian AlkB homologue-3 (AlkBH3) is a member of the dioxygenase family of enzymes that in humans is involved in DNA dealkylation repair. Because of its role in promoting tumor cell proliferation and metastasis of cancer, extensive efforts are being directed in developing selective inhibitors for AlkBH3. Here we report synthesis, screening and evaluation of panel of arylated indenone derivatives as new class of inhibitors of AlkBH3 DNA repair activity. An efficient synthesis of 2,3-diaryl indenones from 2,3-dibromo indenones was achieved via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. Using a robust quantitative assay, we have obtained an AlkBH3 inhibitor that display specific binding and competitive mode of inhibition against DNA substrate. Finally, we established that this compound could prevent the proliferation of lung cancer cell line and enhance sensitivity to DNA damaging alkylating agent., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

11. Effect of bridgehead substitution in the Grob fragmentation of norbornyl ketones: a new route to substituted halophenols.

Choudhury S, Ahmad S, and Khan FA
- Abstract
Grob fragmentation of suitably designed bicyclic species often generates novel organic skeletons in a facile manner. Herein, we report a comprehensive account of an effective acid-catalyzed Grob fragmentation of trihalonorbornyl ketones to dihalophenol derivatives in good yields. The transformation entails tri-n-butyltin hydride (TBTH) mediated regioselective reduction of one of the two bridgehead halogens of readily available Diels-Alder adducts resulting from 1,2,3,4-tetrahalo-5,5-dimethoxycyclopentadiene and vinyl acetate derivatives, followed by its conversion to substituted halophenol species via a three-step hydrolysis-oxidation-rearrangement/aromatization strategy. Both alkyl and aryl substituted norbornyl ketones were studied. A detailed mechanistic analysis employing an isotope labeling experiment revealed plausible mechanistic pathways. Among the two bridgehead substituents, when halogen (X = Cl, Br) stays at C-1 and hydrogen (H, or deuterium, D) at C-4, then product formation takes place via exclusive protonation (supplied by an external acid) at β carbon (i.e. C-1) of a dienol moiety formed in situ during the Grob-fragmentation, followed by the removal of acidic 4-H (or 4-D) and halide ion (X(-)) from the resulting cyclohexenone intermediate prior to nucleophilic attack on the oxocarbenium ion by X(-) and final enolisation of cyclohexadienone species. A sharp deviation was observed with the regioisomeric bicyclic ketone, wherein the 4-X triggers a facile removal of X(-) and forms the end products without necessitating the involvement of the C-1 substituent (i.e. 1-H/D), thereby retaining it in the final halophenols. It clearly demonstrates how the bridgehead substituents in the two regioisomeric trihalo-norbornyl ketones steer the bicyclic systems to follow entirely different reaction pathways thus suggesting their crucial yet distinct roles in the overall reaction. The present transformation thus manifests the relevance of bridgehead substituents in the Grob fragmentation of such norbornyl systems. Our current strategy also allows one to access ortho-deuterated halophenol compounds.

- Abstract
The base-mediated formation of a bridgehead double bond in a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane system (anit-Bredt molecules) is described. The synthesis of exocyclic norbornyl enones by Wittig reaction of α-diketones is reported. These enones and their Michael adducts are used as substrates for the generation of transient bridgehead enones and their trapping with MeOH and H2 O. Bridgehead alcohols are easily synthesized from norbornyl enones and are exploited for the diversity oriented synthesis of frameworks of natural and unnatural products., (© 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

13. BF3-Et2O mediated skeletal rearrangements of norbornyl appended cyclopentanediols.

Rao CN and Khan FA
- Abstract
An unusual cascade rearrangement has been noticed as a competitive reaction during the treatment of norbornyl appended cyclopentanediols with a Lewis acid (LA): a BF3-Et2O mediated pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement. Deketalization and pinacolone rearrangement occur at two different sites in the molecule and are responsible for the observed cascade rearrangement product. However, deketalization appears to be triggering the cascade steps. The kinetically more stable pinacolone product with an exo-Me group was observed in the case of the bromo analogue, whereas, the thermodynamically more stable pinacolone product with an endo-Me group was observed in the case of the chloro analogue. Epimerization via tautomerization of one diastereomer to the other diastereomer under Lewis acid reflux conditions is possible. On the contrary, the diol equivalent epoxides provide only the diastereomeric mixture of pinacolone products under similar LA reaction conditions. The lower yields observed in the case of the epoxides are due to unwanted side reactions taking place between the two competitive reactive centers, namely, ketal and epoxide. Further, a sequence of elimination, nucleophilic substitution and Ritter type hydrolysis reactions of the epoxides resulted in unexpected elimination products. This transformation not only facilitates a regioselective epoxide opening, but also provides a new route for the preparation of allylic amides of the norbornyl appended cyclopentane ring system.

Budanur BM and Khan FA
- Abstract
An unexpected reactivity of the superoxide ion leading to the synthesis of tetrachloroaryl/vinyl-substituted nortricyclenes through its dual mode of action has been reported. KO2 was found to be superior and the only reagent to perform this kind of reaction over other conventional bases. Addition of the antioxidant BHT (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol) improved the yields of methylenenortricyclenes. A complete deuterium incorporation was observed in the superoxide-mediated reaction in DMSO-d 6. Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions of 3-methylenenorticyclenes yielded 2-propanone-substituted pentachloronorbornenes.

- Abstract
Ianthelliformisamines A-C are a novel class of bromotyrosine-derived antibacterial agents isolated recently from the marine sponge Suberea ianthelliformis. We have synthesized ianthelliformisamines A-C straightforwardly by the condensation of (E)-3-(3,5-dibromo-4-methoxyphenyl)acrylic acid and the corresponding Boc-protected polyamine followed by Boc-deprotection with TFA. Further, using this reaction protocol, a library of their analogues (39 analogues) has been synthesized by employing 3-phenylacrylic acid derivatives and Boc-protected polyamine chains through various combinations of these two fragments differing in phenyl ring substitution, double bond geometry or chain length of the central spacer of the polyamine chain (shown in red color). All the synthesized compounds (ianthelliformisamines A-C and their analogues) were screened for antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) strains. All synthetic analogues of ianthelliformisamine A showed bacterial growth inhibition against both strains (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus), having MIC values in the range of 117.8-0.10 μM, while none of the synthetic analogues of ianthelliformisamine C as well as the parent compound showed any detectable antibacterial activity. Interestingly, some of the synthetic analogues of ianthelliformisamines A and B exerted a bactericidal effect against both E. coli and S. aureus strains, decreasing viable bacterial count by 99% at concentrations as low as 2 × MIC.

Rao GH and Khan FA
- Abstract
An unusual route for the synthesis of functionalized cyclobutane derivatives starting from functionalized norbornane derivatives is reported. Base-induced fragmentation of an oxetanol-type moiety embedded in a tetracyclic norbornyl ketal leads to a cyclobutane-fused derivative as the major or exclusive product. The fragmentation reaction for bridgehead-bromine-substituted derivatives was much faster than for the corresponding chlorine-substituted substrates. The functionalized cyclobutane product was formed exclusively in high yield in the former case, while the latter furnished a minor uncyclized side product in varying yields.

- Abstract
Total synthesis of the published structure of amathamide D is described. Methyl 2,3,4-tribromo-5-hydroxybenzoate was selected as starting compound because it is readily accessible via acid-mediated Grob fragmentation-aromatization reaction of 1,4,5,6-tetrabromo-7,7-dimethoxybicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one. The aforementioned ester was transformed into the reported structure of amathamide D through methylation of a hydroxyl group and conversion of the ester moiety to a β-aminoethyl side chain. The NMR data of the synthetic compound did not conform to the reported natural product structure possessing contiguously positioned β-aminoethyl side chain, a set of three adjacent bromines, and a methyl ether linkage on the phenyl ring. This prompted us to redefine the natural product structure by synthesizing a product whose spectral data exactly matched with the reported data of amathamide D. The convolutamine H, with completely substituted phenyl ring adorned with an extra methyl ether functional group, has also been synthesized by application of Grob fragmentation-aromatization strategy to 3-(benzyloxy)-1,4,5,6-tetrabromo-7,7-dimethoxybicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one. This approach furnished directly methyl 2,3,4-tribromo-5,6-dimethoxybenzoate, which was converted straightforwardly into convolutamine H. Further, synthesis of convolutamine F and lutamide A and C is also described.

Khan FA and Rao ChN
- Abstract
An efficient acid-catalyzed Grob fragmentation of symmetrical and asymmetrically substituted norbornyl α-diketones to the corresponding six-membered α-ketoenols is reported. The regio- and stereochemical outcome of the Grob fragmentation of C2 mono- and disubstituted α-diketones was investigated. A single regioisomer resulting from a favorable half-chair intermediate was normally observed. A departure from the normal course was noticed for C2 disubstituted α-diketones possessing an exo-methyl and an endo-methoxycarbonyl derivative, giving the opposite regioisomers due to initial formation of the hemiketal. The bromo analogues of the C2 disubstituted α-diketones furnished an unusual byproduct, which appears to have been formed through highly reactive fused four-membered bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane intermediates. A plausible mechanistic proposal involving the gem-dihalo intermediate, which in one case was actually isolated as its BF(2)-complex, is outlined. The fragmentation protocol was applied to various norbornyl substrates including bis-α-diketone derivatives. The methodology was successfully utilized for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds., (© 2011 American Chemical Society)

- Abstract
Stereoselective formal synthesis of (+/-)-neplanocin A from a cyclopentane derivative employing an elegant strategy involving reiterative usage of an already existing acetonide protecting group is reported. The acetonide protecting group that is carried forward intact right from the starting adduct to an advanced intermediate is shuffled around twice as in a "relay race" through the synthetic sequence, thus avoiding unnecessary employment of additional protecting groups.

- Abstract
[structures: see text] A stereoselective strategy for the replacement of the 1,2-dihaloalkene bridge of tetrahalonorbornyl derivatives by an oxygen bridge involving stepwise controlled oxidation, cleavage of the dione thus formed, and reiterative intramolecular S(N)2 displacement of two bridgehead halogens is devised. The synthesis of four highly strained pentacyclic bis-oxa-bridged derivatives 10, 27, 28, and 29 with interesting structural variations is presented. The two oxa bridges are syn to each other, separated by central cyclohexane and cycloheptane rings in 10 and 27, while they are anti to each other and are separated by central cyclopentane and furan rings in 28 and 29. In the case of the highly symmetric bis-oxa-bridged derivative 10 the two syn oxa bridges constrain the central cyclohexane ring into the boat form. The endo,anti,endo 2:1 bis adducts of 1,2,3,4-tetrahalo-5,5-dimethoxycyclopenta-1,3-diene with cyclopentadiene were prepared for the first time, while the reactivites of previously unexplored bis adducts derived from furan and cycloheptatriene were revealed.

- Abstract
A novel, efficient, and regio- as well as diastereoselective conversion of non-enolizable bicyclic alpha-diketones into synthetically useful acyloins mediated by indium metal is described. The reduction is highly diastereoselective, leading exclusively to endo-acyloins (endo-hydroxyl groups) in excellent yields, and tolerates a variety of sensitive substituents, such as acetate, ester, and bridgehead halogens. The regioselectivity in the reductions of monosubstituted alpha-diketones varied from 70:30 to 100:0 for the two possible isomeric alcohols. The methodology is extended to the synthesis of highly functionalized cyclopentane carboxaldehydes, potential building blocks in organic syntheses, by cleavage of the acyloins by treating them with Pb(OAc)4 in MeOH/PhH. Allylindium additions to carboxaldehydes 22 have been found to be highly diastereoselective.

- Abstract
A rapid access to 7-azaspiro[4.5]decan-6-ones 1 involving three regio- and chemoselective reactions starting from tetrabromonorbornyl derivatives is described. The alkaline H(2)O(2) cleavage reaction of monosubstituted alpha-diketones 9 furnished the potential bridged bicyclic lactones 10in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner. The radical-mediated, intermolecular bridgehead C-C bond formation of the versatile bridged lactones 10 with acrylonitrile followed by LAH reduction of the adduct 13 intriguingly leads to the formation of novel spirolactam building blocks 1.

- Abstract
The tricyclic alpha-keto hemiacetals 3a,b and 8a-d obtained from ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of tetrahalonorbornyl derivatives possessing a pendant hydroxymethyl group were cleaved using Pb(OAc)(4) or alkaline H(2)O(2) to give gamma-lactone-fused cyclopentane derivatives 5a,b and 9a-d. The alpha-keto hemiacetal 3b has also been elaborated to spiroepoxide derivative 25. The stable hydrate 4 formed from ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of acrolein adduct 10 furnished an intramolecular hemiacetal 11 upon cleavage with Pb(OAc)(4). The alpha-halo ester moiety in 5a was transformed smoothly in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner to alpha-hydroxy esters through a lactone-assisted intermediate to furnish 18.

- Abstract
[reaction: see text] Alpha-diketones are efficiently reduced with indium metal in methanol-water in the presence of NH(4)Cl, LiCl, or NaCl to give regio- and diastereoselectively the corresponding acyloins in good to excellent yield. The cleavage of the acyloins under Pb(OAc)(4)/MeOH-PhH condition provides a convenient and regioselective access to highly functionalized cyclopentane carboxaldehydes, potential building blocks in organic syntheses.

- Abstract
A highly oxygenated, novel pentacyclic bis-oxa-bridged compound 8 was synthesized with remarkable efficiency starting from readily available tetrachloro-5,5-dimethoxyclopentadiene and 1,4-cyclohexadiene in three steps. The ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of 2:1 bis-adduct 1 followed by a one-pot transformation of the resulting bis-alpha-diketone 3 furnished (after esterification) the title compound in an overall yield of 29.1%. The versatility of this simple method was further demonstrated with other norbornyl alpha-diketones to obtain the corresponding strained oxa-bridged derivatives.
