BF3·OEt2-mediated one-pot formal (4 + 2) and (5 + 2) stereocontrolled cycloaddition of 4-alkenols 3 and 4 with veratrol affords the respective substituted tetralins 5 and benzosuberans 6 in good yields. The cascade protocol combines a facile double Friedel-Crafts benzannulation of 4-alkenols 3 and 4 (having two electrophilic sites) and veratrol (7a) (having two nucleophilic sites). A plausible mechanism was studied and proposed.

Antileishmanial and Antitrypanosomal Trends of Synthetic Tetralone Derivatives.
Drug Dev Res

Leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis are parasitic diseases that are closely linked to poverty, pose significant local burdens, and are common in tropical and subtropical regions. Various synthetic tetralone derivatives were studied as potential scaffolds for antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activities. The compounds were studied for their effectiveness against multiple kinetoplastid protozoan pathogens: Leishmania major, Leishmania mexicana, and bloodstream trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

We disclose a stereodivergent strategy to prepare difluorinated tetralins from γ-substituted tetralones via a combination of catalyst-controlled transfer hydrogenation and substrate-controlled fluorinations. This process is easily scalable and amenable to highly functionalized substrates, as demonstrated here in the late-stage synthesis of casdatifan, a clinical-stage inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α. Analysis of the physicochemical properties of casdatifan, which features a difluoride, revealed a higher level of facial polarization compared to its difluoride isomers.

Background: Procarbazine-containing chemotherapy regimens are associated with cytopenias and infertility, suggesting stem-cell toxicity. When treating Hodgkin lymphoma, procarbazine in escalated-dose bleomycin-etoposide-doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide-vincristine-procarbazine-prednisolone (eBEACOPP) is increasingly replaced with dacarbazine (eBEACOPDac) to reduce toxicity. We aimed to investigate the impact of this drug substitution on the mutation burden in stem cells, patient survival, and toxicity.

Skeletal editing is an important approach for the modification and diversification of biologically active molecules. The utilization of nitrogen deletion strategies in skeletal editing has recently emerged as a new method for compound modification. Here, we report an unexpected nitrogen deletion in isoindolines.

Compound 5p is a 4β-N-substituted podophyllotoxin derivative, which exhibited potent activity toward drug-resistant K562/A02 cells and decreased MDR-1 mRNA expression. Here, we further investigated its detail mechanism and tested its antitumor activity. 5p exerted catalytic inhibition of topoisomerase IIα, and didn't show the inhibitor of topoisomerase I.
