AI Article Synopsis
- C2- and C4-position metabolites of 17beta-estradiol, specifically 2-hydroxyestradiol and 4-hydroxyestradiol, contribute to breast cancer development by promoting cell growth and increasing DNA mutation risks through reactive oxygen species.
- In contrast, 2-methoxyestradiol acts against tumor growth by inducing cell death in cancerous cells, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent.
- The ratios of 4-hydroxyestradiol to 2-methoxyestradiol and 2-hydroxyestradiol to 2-methoxyestradiol may serve as useful markers for assessing cancer risk.
Article Abstract
C2- and C4-position 17beta-estradiol metabolites play an important role in breast carcinogenesis. 2-Hydroxyestradiol and 4-hydroxyestradiol are implicated in tumorigenesis via two pathways. These pathways entail increased cell proliferation and the formation of reactive oxygen species that trigger an increase in the likelihood of deoxyribonucleic acid mutations. 2-Methoxyestradiol, a 17beta-estradiol metabolite, however, causes induction of apoptosis in transformed and tumor cells; thus exhibiting an antiproliferative effect on tumor growth. The 4-hydroxyestradiol:2-methoxyestradiol and 2-hydroxyestradiol:2-methoxyestradiol ratios therefore ought to be taken into account as possible indicators of carcinogenesis.

With alanine as a transient directing group, Pd-catalyzed regioselective alkynylation at the indole C4-position was successfully established in a good yield. The total synthesis of the PAF antagonist demonstrated the synthetic utility of this protocol. The regioselectivity was explicitly proven by the prepared C4-selective palladacycle intermediate in the catalytic process and the DFT calculation of the energy barriers of C4- and C2-site-selective C-H activation of indole.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents a one-pot, three-component method for synthesizing a new series of quinazolines, resulting in high yields and quick reaction times using cost-effective materials.
- The synthesis involves cyclocondensation reactions facilitated by either Copper acetate or under catalyst-free conditions, producing compounds suitable for cancer research.
- Two specific quinazolines showed significant antitumor activity in testing while exhibiting low toxicity to normal human cells, suggesting their potential as safe cancer treatment options.
Regioselective quinazoline C2 modifications through the azide-tetrazole tautomeric equilibrium.

2-Chloro-4-sulfonylquinazolines undergo functional group swap when treated with an azide nucleophile: 1) the azide replaces the sulfonyl group at the C4 position; 2) the intrinsic azide-tetrazole tautomeric equilibrium directs the nucleofugal sulfinate from the first step to replace chloride at the C2 position. This transformation is effective with quinazolines bearing electron-rich substituents. Therefore, the title transformations are demonstrated on the 6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline core, which is present in pharmaceutically active substances.

1,2-Azaborines, a unique class of BN-isosteres of benzene, have attracted great interest across several fields. While significant advancements have been made in the postfunctionalization of 1,2-azaborines, challenges still exist for the selective functionalization of the C4 position and access to 1,2-azaborines with five or six independently installed substituents. Here we report a rapid and modular method for C3 and C4 difunctionalization of 1,2-azaborines using the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis.
