Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. When not properly controlled, complications include neuropathy, coronary artery disease, and renal failure. Several drugs are approved for diabetes treatment; however their use is associated with side effects and lack of efficacy in attenuating the development of long-term complications. This work describes the virtual screening and synthesis of a novel series of sulfonylhydrazone derivatives designed as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists and investigation of the analogs for hypoglycemic activity in a murine model of diabetes. Docking studies identified LASSBio-331 (5) as having theoretical affinity for PPARγ similar to the prototype (S)-rosiglitazone. Several structural modifications were proposed for the structure of LASSBio-331, resulting in the synthesis of five novel compounds, which showed experimental affinity for PPARγ. Among these new compounds, LASSBio-1471 (15) had the best theoretical binding energy for PPARγ and was selected for testing in STZ-induced diabetes. Four weeks after single intravenous injection of STZ (60 mg/kg), Wistar rats were treated with vehicle (DMSO) or LASSBio-1471 (20 mg/kg, i.p.) for 7 days. The blood glucose levels of rats treated with LASSBio-1471 were reduced from 548.4 ± 26.0 mg/dL before treatment to 259.6 ± 73.1 mg/dL (P < 0.05). Paw withdrawal threshold was significantly reduced in diabetic rats and was restored from 21.9 ± 1.7 g to 36.7 ± 1.2 g after 7 days of treatment with LASSBio-1471 (P < 0.05). Thus, the novel sulfonylhydrazone derivative is a PPARγ ligand that is effective for treatment of diabetic neuropathy in STZ-injected rats.

Developing efficient and novel methodologies to construct a C-C bond is highly important in both synthetic chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. In recent years, the visible light-mediated desulfonylative transformation of sulfonyl compounds has emerged as a powerful tool for the synthesis of diverse C-C bond. To emphasize their practical utility, many methodologies have been successfully applied in the modification of a variety of biologically active compounds which possess unprotected amide or hydroxy groups.

Herein, we report a transition-metal-free C-H bond sulfoximidation protocol of sulfonyl hydrazones with hypervalent iodine(III) reagents. A library of novel -sulfaneylidenehydrazonamides was constructed via chemoselective C-N bond formation reactions at aldehyde C-H bonds of sulfonyl hydrazones in the presence of a base. The reaction demonstrated broad substrate group diversity under exceedingly mild reaction conditions, and excellent yields were achieved at room temperature.

The synthesis of benzylboronates by photochemical homologation of boronic acids with -tosylhydrazones under basic conditions is described. The reaction involves the photolysis of the -tosylhydrazone salt to give a diazoalkane followed by the geminal carboborylation of the diazoalkane. Under the mild reaction conditions, the protodeboronation of the unstable benzylboronic acid is circumvented and the pinacolboronates can be isolated after reaction of the benzylboronic acid with pinacol.

Catalytic carbene transfer reactions are fundamental transformations in modern organic synthesis, which enable direct access to diverse structurally complex molecules. Despite diazo precursors playing a crucial role in catalytic carbene transfer reactions, most reported methodologies take into account only diazoacetates or related compounds. This is primarily because diazoalkanes, unless they contain a resonance stabilizing group, are more susceptible to violent exothermic decomposition.

The general enantioselective catalytic synthesis of axially chiral 1,3-disubstituted allenes from readily available racemic propargylic alcohol derivatives remains a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis. Here we report an efficient nickel-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction/Myers rearrangement of racemic propargylic carbonates that furnishes a series of enantioenriched 1,3-disubstituted allenes using newly designed -sulfonylhydrazone reagents as efficient diazo surrogates. This reaction proved to be remarkably general with regard to substrate scope, affording a diverse range of 1,3-disubstituted allenic compounds in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities.
