This data article is related to a research paper entitled "Solvent- and metal-free hydroboration of alkynes under microwave irradiation" (Gioia et al. TETL-D-19-01698) [1]. Herein we present the spectral data acquired from the synthesis of ()-alkenyl boronic acid pinacol esters.

N,N'-disubstituted cinnamamide derivatives potentiate ciprofloxacin activity against overexpressing NorA efflux pump Staphylococcus aureus 1199B strains.

A multi-step procedure has been described which afforded satisfactory yields of N,N'-disubstituted cinnamamides derived from N-Boc-protected amino acids (Boc-Gly, Boc-Val, Boc-Phe). The key step of this synthesis was a regioselective RedAl reduction of an amide function in presence of a carbamate group. Next, these cinnamamides were evaluated in co-admnistration with ciprofloxacin as efflux pump inhibitors against two S.

Deoxycholic acid derivatives as inhibitors of P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug efflux.

Deoxycholic acid derivatives were designed as P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) inhibitors. Thus the synthesis and the biological activity of methyl deoxycholate derivatives 5-10 and their ether analogs 15-20 have been reported. The potency of these compounds to modulate Pgp-mediated MDR was evaluated through daunorubicin accumulation and potentiation of doxorubicin cytotoxicity in K562/R7 multidrug resistant cells overexpressing Pgp.

Synthesis of new steroidal inhibitors of P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance and biological evaluation on K562/R7 erythroleukemia cells.

A simple route for improving the potency of progesterone as a modulator of P-gp-mediated multidrug resistance was established by esterification or etherification of hydroxylated 5α/β-pregnane-3,20-dione or 5β-cholan-3-one precursors. X-ray crystallography of representative 7α-, 11α-, and 17α-(2'R/S)-O-tetrahydropyranyl ether diastereoisomers revealed different combinations of axial-equatorial configurations of the anomeric oxygen. Substantial stimulation of accumulation and chemosensitization was observed on K562/R7 erythroleukemia cells resistant to doxorubicin, especially using 7α,11α-O-disubstituted derivatives of 5α/β-pregnane-3,20-dione, among which the 5β-H-7α-benzoyloxy-11α-(2'R)-O-tetrahydropyranyl ether 22a revealed promising properties (accumulation index 2.

Progesterone-adenine hybrids as bivalent inhibitors of P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug efflux: design, synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation.

Bivalent ligands were designed on the basis of the described close proximity of the ATP-site and the putative steroid-binding site of P-glycoprotein (ABCB1). The syntheses of 19 progesterone-adenine hybrids are described. Their abilities to inhibit P-glycoprotein-mediated daunorubicin efflux in K562/R7 human leukemic cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein were evaluated versus progesterone.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of progesterone-adenine hybrids as bivalent inhibitors of P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug efflux.

Steroidal bivalent ligands were designed on the basis of the described closer proximity of the ATP-site and the putative steroid-binding site of P-glycoprotein (ABCB1). The syntheses of seven progesterone-adenine hybrids were described. Their abilities to inhibit P-glycoprotein-mediated daunorubicin efflux in K562/R7 human leukemic cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein were evaluated versus progesterone.

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of oxazinocarbazole and N,N-bis(carbazolylmethyl)amine derivatives.

The synthesis, structure elucidation and antitumoral activity of novel heterocyclic compounds containing a carbazole nucleus are reported. Oxazinocarbazoles were synthesized by application of the Mannich reaction to the corresponding hydroxylated derivatives leading to 41 new molecules. Their cytotoxic activity was evaluated against various human tumor cell lines including three leukemic cell lines: CEM and Jurkat (type T), Raji (type B); breast cancer cell line (MCF-7); colorectal cancer cell line (Caco-2).

Synthesis and modulation properties of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-7-one and indazole-4,7-dione derivatives towards the Cryptosporidium parvum CpABC3 transporter.

The syntheses of new N-polysubstituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-7-one (IP, 5 and 8a-8f) and indazole-4,7-dione (ID, 9 and 10) derivatives are described. The binding affinity of IP and ID towards the recombinant Nucleotide Binding Domain NBD1 of Cryptosporidium parvum CpABC3 was evaluated by intrinsic fluorescence quenching. IP induced a moderate quenching of the intrinsic fluorescence of H6-NBD1 whereas IDs 9 and 10 showed a binding affinity comparable to the ATP analogue TNP-ATP.

Overexpression, purification and characterization of a hexahistidine-tagged recombinant extended nucleotide-binding domain 1 (NBD1) of the Cryptosporidium parvum CpABC3 for rational drug design.

Its natural resistance to antiprotozoal chemotherapy characterizes the intestinal protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum and the P-glycoprotein-related multidrug resistance proteins such as CpABC3 could be involved. In order to design and study specific inhibitors of the CpABC3 nucleotide-binding domain, a hexahistidine-tagged recombinant protein encompassing the N-terminal cytosolic NBD1 domain was overexpressed in E. coli and purified.

Synthesis and Diels-Alder reactivity of ortho-carbazolequinones.

Oxidation of 2- and 3-hydroxycarbazoles with Frémy's salt gave the corresponding ortho-carbazolequinones. These molecules react as carbodienophiles in Diels-Alder reaction with 1-acetoxy-1,3-butadiene and 1,3-cyclopentadiene to provide the novel benzocarbazolequinone structures 15, 16, 18 and 19.

Synthesis and antiprotozoal evaluation of benzothiazolopyrroloquinoxalinones, analogues of kuanoniamine A.

Boc-aminoethylindoloquinone 8, a key intermediate for the building of pentacyclic quinoneimines, analogues of kuanoniamine A, was synthesized by alkylation of 4,7-dimethoxyindole 3 with 1,2-dibromoethane followed by transformation into azide, reduction of the latter with trimethylphosphine in the presence of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyloximino)-2-phenylacetonitrile and oxydative demethylation of the Boc-amine 6 with silver(II) oxide. Quinone 8 was then treated in situ with the thiazole o-quinodimethane 10 to afford a regioisomeric mixture of the tetracyclic quinones 11. Treatment of the mixture with trifluoroacetic acid and molecular sieves 4-A provided the corresponding quinoneimines 12.

Synthesis and antiprotozoal activity of naphthofuranquinones and naphthothiophenequinones containing a fused thiazole ring.

The synthesis of tetracyclic quinones 10a,b, 14a,b, 19a,b and 20a,b is described. The preparations involve regioselective Diels-Alder reactions via trapping the thiazole o-quinodimethane 9 with several benzofuranquinones and benzothiophenequinones. The structure of the regioisomers was assigned through 2D NMR 1H-13C HMBC experiments performed on 10a and 14a.

Carbazolequinone induction of caspase-dependent cell death in Src-overexpressing cells.

We previously reported that RSV-transformed quail neuroretina cells (QNR-ts68) were highly resistant to apoptosis provoked by serum withdrawal, and that this property was due to v-Src kinase activity. The present study investigates the cytotoxic effect and the functional mechanism of carbazolequinone-mediated cell death in this system. QNR-ts68 cells were subjected to carbazolequinone treatment and both growth inhibition and cell death induction were examined using formazan assays.

Quinonic derivatives active against Toxoplasma gondii.

Quinonic derivatives were tested against a virulent RH strain of Toxoplasma gondii maintained in cell culture in THP-1, a human myelomonocytic cell line. The derivatives were tested at various doses (0.5-4 microg/ml) and compared with the reference molecules clindamycine, sulfadiazine, pyrimethamine and atovaquone.

Benzimidazole-4,7-diones as inhibitors of protozoal (Toxoplasma gondii) purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Benzimidazole-4,7-diones derivatives substituted at 1- and/or 2-position have been synthetized and tested as inhibitors of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), isolated from two strains of Toxoplasma gondii (RH and ME 49). They were identified as inhibitors of both enzymes.
