A straightforward access to tricyclic indoles bearing 3,4-fused seven-membered rings has been established by using 4-aminoindoles as 1,4-bisnucleophiles in three-component reactions. 1H-Azepino[4,3,2-cd]indoles, 4,6-dihydro-1H-azepino[4,3,2-cd]indoles and 1,3,4,6-tetrahydro-5H-azepino[4,3,2-cd]indol-5-ones could thus be synthesized in one pot in moderate to good yields. Beyond opening access to 3,4-fused tricyclic indoles, the use of easily accessible 4-aminoindoles as C,N-1,4-bisnucleophiles also provides a new platform to be used in a diversity-oriented synthesis strategy, fully displaying its benefits of maximizing molecular complexity and reaction diversity.

Insomnia is a common and challenging complaint in older adults (> 65 years) because of age-related alterations in sleep physiology. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is the gold standard for treatment of insomnia in young as well as older patients. Both clinicians and patients often prefer the simplicity of medication, but risks associated with some hypnotics increase with age.

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a key target for drug discovery due to its implication in a range of inflammation-related diseases. In this work, we identify new inhibitors of the NLRP3 inflammasome via a hierarchical virtual screening strategy using molecular similarity, docking and MD simulation. The most potent inhibitors identified from a subsequent biological assay (IC of 1 - 4 μM) feature a sulfonamide group, a motif known to favour NLRP3 inhibition, in conjunction with an indole, benzofuran or tricyclic 6,7-dihydro-5H-indeno[5,6-b]furan ring, yielding novel scaffolds.

β-carboline compounds display a therapeutic property for treating depression and anxiety behaviors. Imipramine and citalopram play an important role in the modulation of anxiety and depression behaviors. We investigated the effects of norharmane, imipramine, and citalopram on anxiety- and depression-like effects and their interactions.

Two novel pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids, 6-chlorodamirone A and 6-bromodamirone A, have been identified for the first time from the marine sponge sp. (order: Poecilosclerida: family Latrunculiidae), sourced from Western Australia. Alongside these new compounds, seven previously known metabolites were also isolated.
