An intramolecular palladium(0)-mediated α-arylation of ketones applied to the synthesis of various substituted tetracyclic indoles is reported. Most significantly, the efficiency of the transformation was enhanced by the use of monoligated Pd(0) complexes. This methodology was extended to double α-arylation of ketones using one-pot reactions with either simultaneous addition or sequential addition of two aryl halides for producing aryl substituted tetracyclic indoles.

Article Synopsis
- CK2 is an important enzyme linked to various central nervous system disorders and cancers, making its inhibitors potential treatments for these diseases.
- A series of pyrrolocarbazoles were developed based on the lead compound W16, which inhibits the CK2α/CK2β interaction, using a multicomponent Levy reaction as a key synthesis step.
- Ultimately, the histidine derivative showed strong inhibition of the CK2 association and kinase activity, marking it as a promising lead compound for further development against CK2-related conditions.
A Facile Approach to Tetracyclic Indolines: Highly Diastereoselective [4+2] Annulation of Indoles with Bicyclic N-Substituted Cyclobutanes.

A new stereoselective [4+2] annulation method for constructing tetracyclic indolines by reacting indoles with bicyclic N-substituted cyclobutanes has been developed. Using Sc(OTf) as a catalyst, a series of tetracyclic indolines with four continued stereogenic carbon centers have been obtained in ≤86% yields as single diastereomers. This reaction offers an accessible way for the rapid construction of the core structures of biologically active natural products like paucidirinine, deethylibophyllidine, and ibophyllidine.

Four new bisindole alkaloids, cathagines A (1)-D (4) consisting of an aspidosperma and the fused tetracyclic 3-spirooxindole derived from an iboga type skeleton were isolated from the whole plant of Catharanthus roseus. The structures including absolute stereochemistry were elucidated on the basis of 2D NMR data and CD spectra. Cathagine B (2) showed moderate anti-malarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7.

ABCG2 is a multidrug transporter that protects tissues from xenobiotics, affects drug pharmacokinetics, and contributes to multidrug resistance of cancer cells. Here, we present tetracyclic fumitremorgin C analog Ko143 derivatives, evaluate their modulation of purified ABCG2, and report four high-resolution cryo-EM structures and computational analyses to elucidate their interactions with ABCG2. We found that Ko143 derivatives that are based on a ring-opened scaffold no longer inhibit ABCG2-mediated transport activity.

The umpolung of aldimines using N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) is less explored compared to the established polarity reversal of aldehydes. Described herein is an NHC-catalyzed imine umpolung /6π-electrocyclization cascade, which leads to the atom- and pot-economic synthesis of biologically important dihydrochromeno indoles. For the first time, the nucleophilic aza-Breslow intermediates have been intercepted with unactivated alkynes.
