The present study aimed to evaluate the mechanism of action of the antineoplastic activity of an oxazolidine derivative, LPSF/NB-3 (5-(4-cloro-benzilideno)-3-etil-2-tioxo-oxazolidin-4-ona). Cytotoxicity assays were performed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and resistant acute leukemia cell line (HL-60/MX1) by the MTT method. LPSF/NB-3 exhibited cytotoxicity in HL-60/MX1, but it was not toxic to healthy cells in the highest dose tested (100 μM). The protein extract of HL-60/MX1 cells treated with LPSF/NB-3 was subjected to proteomic analysis using two-dimensional chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. We could identify a total of 2652 proteins, in which 633 were statistically modulated. Within the group of protein considered for the quantitative analysis with the established criteria, 262 were differentially expressed, 146 with increased expression and 116 with decreased expression in the sample treated with LPSF/NB-3 compared to the control. The following differentially expressed pathways were found: involving regulation of the cytoskeleton, DNA damage, and transduce cellular signals. Networks that were highlighted are related to the immune system. The ELISA technique was used to assess the immunomodulatory potential of LPSF/NB-3 in PBMCs. We observed significant decrease of IFNγ (p < 0.01) and dose-response pattern of the cytokines IL-6, IL-17A, IL-22, and IL-10. Therefore, results suggest that LPSF/NB-3 appears to modulate important pathways, including cell cycle and immune system regulatory pathways.

Article Synopsis
  • A series of novel 2-heteroaryl-oxazolidine-4-one derivatives were synthesized by modifying a lead compound, 2-pyrazole oxazolidine-4-one, using different heterocycles based on bioisosterism principles.
  • These new compounds were characterized using H-NMR, C-NMR, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and mostly exhibited moderate to good inhibitory effects on hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA proliferation with low toxicity.
  • Among them, compound 7g showed the strongest anti-HBV activity with an EC value of 0.059 µM and a better selectivity index than the lead compound, indicating its potential as

Various single-stranded and hairpin-forming DNA and 2'-O-methyl-RNA oligonucleotides bearing a single (2R,3S)-4-(methoxyamino)butane-1,2,3-triol residue esterified from either O1 and O2 or O1 and O3 were synthesized. Incubation of these oligonucleotides with equimolar mixtures of formylmethyl derivatives of the canonical nucleobases and 2-methylbenzimidazole under mildly acidic conditions revealed base-filling of the modified site to be strongly favored by base stacking of a double-helix, especially an A-type one. In 2'-O-methyl-RNA hairpin oligonucleotides, base-filling of the (2R,3S)-4-(methoxyamino)butane-1,2,3-triol residue with nucleobase aldehydes followed the rules of Watson-Crick base pairing, thymine being the only exception.

Fungal infections are becoming a severe threat to the security of global public health due to the extensive use of antibiotic medications and the rise in immune-deficient patients globally. Additionally, there is an increase in the development of fungus resistance to available antifungal medications. It is necessary to focus on the development of new antifungal medications in order to address these problems.

Catalytic enantioselective [3+2] and [4+2]-annulation of cyclic -sulfonyl ketimines with γ- or δ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones.

Chem Commun (Camb)

July 2024

Department of Chemistry, College of Natural Science, Kyonggi University, 154-42, Gwanggyosan-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon, 16227, Republic of Korea.

A highly efficient asymmetric [3+2] and [4+2]-annulation of cyclic -sulfonyl ketimines with γ- or δ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed. This innovative reaction employs an organocatalytic approach, utilizing a hydrogen-bonding bifunctional squaramide-based catalyst. The process enables precise synthesis of chiral polyheterotricyclic oxazolidines and 1,3-oxazinane derivatives, revealing intricate structures with incorporated chiral quaternary centers.

SnCl catalyzed the three-component coupling of aniline, epoxide, and paraformaldehyde, resulting in the synthesis of 1,3-oxazolidine derivatives. The reaction is simple and does not require any additives, bases, or oxidants, and proceeds at moderate temperature with good functional group tolerance. The scope of the utilization of paraformaldehyde as the methylene source was further extended to the synthesis of benzothiazole and 4,4'-methylenebis(,-dimethylaniline) using the same catalyst.
