Heterocyclic compounds hold a huge and recognized place in the field of medicinal chemistry thanks to their multiple biological activities. Their synthetic pathways allow their easy and rapid access due to different bond-forming methodologies and provide a huge amount of multi-functionalized compounds for drug delivery. The syntheses of heterocyclic compounds are today well known for the majority, described and reviewed in an extensive literature. In this review, we choose to gather and classify available information concerning the biological activities of quinoxaline-based compounds annulated at bond a containing one and more nitrogen atoms in the fused azole ring.

Background: Several epidemiological studies and intervention trials have demonstrated that grapes and blueberries, which are rich in flavanols, can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the mechanisms of action of these compounds remain unclear due to their low bioavailability.

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the sensory properties, blood flow velocity, and oxidative stress of a polyphenol rich grape and blueberry extract (PEGB) containing approximately 16% flavanols (11% monomers and 4% dimers).

Preclinical evaluation of the potential PARP-imaging probe [carbonyl-C]DPQ.

EJNMMI Radiopharm Chem

January 2025

Division of Nuclear Medicine, Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Background: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes are crucial for the repair of DNA single-strand breaks and have become key therapeutic targets in homologous recombination-deficient cancers, including prostate cancer. To enable non-invasive monitoring of PARP-1 expression, several PARP-1-targeting positron emission tomography (PET) tracers have been developed. Here, we aimed to preclinically investigate [carbonyl-C]DPQ as an alternative PARP-1 PET tracer as it features a strongly distinct chemotype compared to the frontrunners [F]FluorThanatrace and [F]PARPi.

Chemodivergent and Enantioselective Synthesis of Spirobi[dihydrophenalene] Structures.

Org Lett

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, School of Science, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing 211198, People's Republic of China.

The development and enantioselective synthesis of two types of -symmetric spirobi[dihydrophenalene] structures is reported. The reaction proceeds via rhodium-catalyzed 2-fold asymmetric conjugate arylation of dienones followed by BF·OEt-promoted spirocyclization to give the enantiopure spiro products. Additive-dependent chemodivergent synthesis of 3,3'-diarylated 2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spirobi[phenalene]-9,9'-diols (3,3'-Ar-SPHENOLs) and the corresponding spiro diary ethers from the same intermediate is achieved.

Reexamining the Enhanced Solubility of Sodium Laurate/Sodium Oleate Eutectic Mixtures.

Langmuir

Unilever R&D, 40 Merrit Boulevard, Trumbull, Connecticut 06611, United States.

Mixtures of multiple surfactants that have superior performance to the individual components are highly sought-after commercially. Mixtures with a reduced Krafft point () are particularly useful as they enable applications at lower temperatures. Such an example is the soap maker's eutectic: the mixture of sodium laurate (NaL) and sodium oleate (NaOl).

Photocatalytic oxidative hydroacylation with alcohols.

Org Biomol Chem

January 2025

Medicinal & Process Chemistry Division, CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow-226031, India.

Herein, we report a photocatalytic method for oxidative hydroacylation with alcohols. Under photoirradiation and a catalytic amount of TBADT, different electrophiles (azodicarboxylates, -phenylmaleimide, benzylidenemalononitrile and phenyl vinyl sulfone) underwent hydroacylation with alcohols in good yields. The method was also applied to achieve a convenient synthesis of the anti-depressant drug moclobemide.
