Sirtuins are protein deacylases with regulatory roles in metabolism and stress response. Functionalized tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indoles were identified as preferential sirtuin 2 inhibitors, with in vitro inhibitory potencies in the low micromolar concentrations (IC50 3-4 μM) for the more promising candidates. The functional relevance of sirtuin inhibition was corroborated in western blots that showed hyperacetylation of p53 and α-tubulin in treated HepG2 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Molecular docking showed that the tetrahydropyridoindole scaffold was positioned in the NAD + pocket and the acetylated substrate channel of the sirtuin 2 protein by van der Waals/hydrophobic, H bonding and stacking interactions. Functionalized tetrahydropyridoindoles represent a novel class of sirtuin 2 inhibitors that could be further explored for its therapeutic potential.

A series of densely functionalized THαCs were designed and synthesized as Akt1 inhibitors. Organocatalytic [3+3] annulation between indolin-2-imines 1 and nitroallylic acetates 2 provided rapid access to this pharmacologically interesting framework. In vitro kinase inhibitory abilities and cytotoxicity assays revealed that compound 3 af [(3S*,4S*)-4-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-9-methyl-3-nitro-1-tosyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole] was the most potent Akt1 inhibitor, and mechanistic study indicated that compound 3 af suppressed the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells via inducing apoptosis and autophagy.

Palladium-catalyzed regioselective α-amino C-H functionalization via the isomerization of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls including esters, ketones, and amides has been established, providing an easy access to a wide array of tricyclic 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro--carbolines, azepinoindoles, 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-pyrido[4,3-]indoles, 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-pyrrolo[2,3-]pyridines, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino-[1,2-]indoles, pyran-fused indoles, and tetrahydroisoquinolines in good to excellent yields. This transformation showed high regioselectivity, excellent functional group tolerance, and scalability. Moreover, this methodology was also employed as the key step for the total synthesis of desbromoarborescidines A, B, and C.

Malaria is still one of the most dangerous infectious diseases and the emergence of drug resistant parasites only worsens the situation. A series of new tetrahydro-β-carbolines were designed, synthesized by the Pictet-Spengler reaction, and characterized. Further, the compounds were screened for their in vitro antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine-sensitive (D10) and chloroquine-resistant (W2) strains of .

Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is the most potent Ca mobilizing agent and its inhibition proved to inhibit T-cell activation. However, the impact of the NAADP signaling on CD4 T-cell differentiation and plasticity and on the inflammation in tissues other than the central nervous system remains unclear. In this study, we used an antagonist of NAADP signaling, trans-Ned 19, to study the role of NAADP in CD4 T-cell differentiation and effector function.

A series of tetrahydro-ß-carbolines substituted with an alkyl or acyl side chain was synthesized and screened for its antifungal activity plant pathogenic fungi (, , and ). The structure activity relationship revealed that the substituent at the piperidine nitrogen plays an important role for increasing antifungal activities. In this series, 2-octyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1-pyrido[3,4-]indole () displayed potent antifungal activities with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.
