At present, a pandemic of antibiotic-resistant infectious diseases is an evergrowing threat. The need for new antibiotics and ways to combat antibiotic resistance is glaring. This review will focus on two different privileged scaffolds, the indole and the indoline, as useful nuclei for novel antibacterial compounds. The indole, a moiety found in numerous approved drugs for many disease states, has recently been studied for its usefulness as a scaffold for compounds that have activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The indoline is a scaffold with significantly less historical studies and FDA-approved drugs and it has attracted new interest in drug design and development. In recent years, indoline-containing compounds have been shown to have antibacterial activity as well as activity as a resistance- modifying agent (RMA), which act to improve the effectiveness of current antibiotic therapies that have known resistance.

A Facile Approach to Tetracyclic Indolines: Highly Diastereoselective [4+2] Annulation of Indoles with Bicyclic N-Substituted Cyclobutanes.

A new stereoselective [4+2] annulation method for constructing tetracyclic indolines by reacting indoles with bicyclic N-substituted cyclobutanes has been developed. Using Sc(OTf) as a catalyst, a series of tetracyclic indolines with four continued stereogenic carbon centers have been obtained in ≤86% yields as single diastereomers. This reaction offers an accessible way for the rapid construction of the core structures of biologically active natural products like paucidirinine, deethylibophyllidine, and ibophyllidine.

Energy-efficient and deep-blue organic light-emitting diode (OLED) with long operating stability remains a key challenge to enable a disruptive change in OLED display and lighting technology. Part of the challenge is associated with a very narrow choice of the robust host materials having over 3 eV triplet energy level to facilitate efficient deep-blue emission and deliver excellent performance in the OLED device. Here we show the molecular design of new 1,3,5-oxadiazines (NON)-host materials with high triplet energy over 3.

We herein report the serendipitous discovery of the interrupted Plancher rearrangement initiated by an HFIP-promoted dearomative epoxide-indole cyclization, unlocking a new blueprint to the formal C3 umpolung reactivity of indoles. This rapid complexity generating cascade process paves the way toward a new class of fused-bridged indolines in high yields and under full regio- and diastereocontrol. The reaction is amenable to a wide range of substituents in the starting materials.

The oxidative C2-C3 π bond activation strategy is the most efficient tool to synthesize oxygen-containing indoline, which frequently appears in natural products with various biological activities as structural units. Recently, the oxidation-induced cascade strategy through oxygenation activation of the indolic C2-C3 π bond of indoles has received much attention for its use in efficiently establishing complex indoline with oxygen-containing molecular architectures, and holds tremendous potential in the total synthesis of indole alkaloids. It can be carried out using potential activated indole radical cations or imine cation intermediates produced oxidative C2-C3 π bond activation of indole with various nucleophiles or ring-forming reagents by employing simple and non-decorated indoles as starting substrates.

Inflammation is central to numerous diseases, highlighting the need for new anti-inflammatory agents. This study explores the potential of novel spirofused indoline-quinazoline hybrids (4a-p) as anti-inflammatory compounds, inspired by a spiroisatin analogue (VI) that showed modest TNF-α inhibition. We aimed to enhance activity by modifying the isatin scaffold: first, introducing N-alkylation (propyl, butyl, or isobutyl) to improve hydrophobic interactions within the TNF-α dimer active site; second, adding halogens (F, Cl, Br) at the 5-position to increase lipophilicity.
