Two series of boehmeriasin A analogs have been synthesized in short and high yielding processes providing derivatives differing either in the alkaloid's pentacyclic scaffold or its peripheral substitution pattern. These series have enabled, for the first time, comparative studies into key biological properties revealing a new lead compound with exceptionally high activity against liver cancer cell lines in the picomolar range for both well (Huh7, Hep3B and HepG2) and poorly (Mahlavu, FOCUS and SNU475) differentiated cells. The cell death was characterized as apoptosis by cytochrome-C release, PARP protein cleavage and SubG1 cell cycle arrest. Subsequent testing associated apoptosis via oxidative stress with in situ formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and altered phospho-protein levels. Compound 19 decreased Akt protein phosphorylation which is crucially involved in liver cancer tumorigenesis. Given its simple synthetic accessibility and intriguing biological properties this new lead compound could address unmet challenges within liver cancer therapy. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Synthesis of 2-aziridinyl phosphonates by modified Gabriel-Cromwell reaction and their antibacterial activities
Doğan, Özdemir; Gözen, Ayşe Gül (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01)
A set of new aziridinyl phosphonates (4a-g) were synthesized by using the Gabriel-Cromwell reaction and its modified version developed in this study and their structures confirmed by HRMS, IR. and NMR spectra. All the compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity. They all showed comparable moderate to good growth inhibitory activity in reference to ampicillin and streptomycin.

Synthesis of 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives from 2-(2-bromoallyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Akhmedov, IM; Sesenoglu, O (Elsevier BV, 2002-12-02)
2-(2-Bromoallyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds are converted into beta-enamino, beta-hydrazino esters and ketones, followed by base-promoted cyclization, leading to the formation of the corresponding 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrroles. 1,2,4- and 1,2,3,4-Substituted pyrroles are also isolated as minor products. Starting from the 2-(2-bromoallyl)-cyclohexane-1,3-dione the corresponding tetrahydro indolone is prepared in good yield.
Synthesis of novel chiral N,N-dialkyl substituted 1,4-amino alcohols and applications in asymmetric transformation reactions
Çakır, Esen; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2007)
Amino alcohols are valuable bioactive substances and frequently used as chiral catalyst in various asymmetric transformation reactions. In the synthetic route, the asymmetric synthesis of novel chiral N,N-dialkyl substituted chiral 1,4-amino alcohols are performed starting with meso-anhydride 38. Quinine-mediated desymmetrization of the anhydride with methanol afforded (2S,3R)-cis-monoester 39 with a high enantiomeric excess (up to 98% ee). Chemoselective amidation of hemiester with various N,N-dialkyl subs...
Synthesis and properties of a novel redox driven chemiluminescent material built on a terthienyl system
Atilgan, Nurdan; Algi, Fatih; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; CİHANER, ATİLLA (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-18)
A novel redox driven chemiluminescent material built on a terthienyl system, namely 5,7-di-ethylenedioxythiophen-2-yl-2,3-dihydro-thieno[3,4-d]pyridazine-1,4-dione (ETE-Lum), which is soluble in both organic media and basic aqueous solution was synthesized and characterized. Furthermore, its polymer, PETE-Lum, which is one of the most rare examples of chemiluminescent polymeric materials bearing a pyridazine unit, was obtained successfully by electrochemical means. Both of the materials give chemiluminescen...
Asymmetric aldol addition of alpha-azido ketones to ethyl pyruvate mediated by a cinchona-based bifunctional urea catalyst
Okumus, Seda; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Elsevier BV, 2014-07-30)
The first asymmetric synthesis of ethyl 4-aryl-3-azido-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-oxobutanoates via a cinchona organocatalyst induced aldol addition of alpha-azido ketones to ethyl pyruvate has been developed. The coupling reaction under optimized conditions was carried out to furnish tetrafunctionalized synthons with enantioselectivities of up to 91:9 and enriched diastereoselectivities of up to 95:5 (syn:anti).
