Article Abstract

A new protocol for multicomponent condensation reactions that uses fluorous (highly fluorinated) substrates is introduced. This method takes advantage of the ease of purification of fluorous compounds by liquid-liquid extractions between fluorous and organic solvents. The application of this method to the Ugi and Biginelli reactions is described. The condensation products of these two reactions, amino acid amides and dihydropyrimidines, are easily obtained without chromatography in high purities, even though the other reagents are used in very large excesses. This is the first demonstration of the suitability of fluorous phase methods for combinatorial synthesis of "druglike" organic molecules.

Among neurodegenerative pathologies affecting the older population, Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia and leads to neurocognitive and behavioral disorders. It is a complex and progressive age-related multifactorial disease characterized by a series of highly interconnected pathophysiological processes. Within the last decade, the multitarget-directed ligand strategy has emerged as a viable approach to developing complex molecules that exhibit several pharmacophores which can target the different enzymes and receptors involved in the pathogenesis of the disease.

A large number of convincing evidences has revealed the correlation of the pathogeny of diseases with the oxidative damages of DNA, protein, biomembrane, and other biological species, while supplementation of antioxidants is demonstrated to be a promising way to avoid, at least, rectify the unbalance redox status in vivo. Although many endeavors have focused on synthesis of antioxidants, a main hurdle still hinders the wide usages of synthetic antioxidants because of low bioavailability and potential cytotoxicity. The search for antioxidants with multiple functional groups being recognized by different receptors becomes a much sought by researchers, and multicomponent reactions (MCRs) provide with powerful tools for the construction of multifunctional antioxidants.
