Herein we describe a catalyst-free regioselective [3 + 3] annulation/oxidation reaction of cyclic amidines such as DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene) and DBN (1,5-diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene) with activated olefins, ., 2-arylidenemalononitriles and 2-cyano-3-aryl acrylates, to afford tricyclic 2-pyridones and pyridin-2(1)-imines, respectively. The mechanism has been proposed based on DFT calculations. In the reaction, the cyclic amidines serve as -bisnucleophiles for the cyclization, while the olefins play a dual role by acting as both reactants and oxidants.

This work describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of hitherto unknown N-arylspermidine derivatives 3. Compounds 3 were efficiently prepared from cyclic amidines through a novel synthetic approach comprising alkylation with ω-halonitriles followed by reduction. The cyclic N-arylamidine directs the alkylation to the unsubstituted nitrogen and also provides the N-benzyl group present in the triamine after simultaneous reduction of the resulting quaternary salt 2 and the cyano group.

Polyhexamethyleneguanidine phosphate (PHMG), a widely used antimicrobial agent, has been implicated in humidifier disinfectant-associated lung injuries (HDLI). PHMG exposure suppressed interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) activation and interferon-β (IFN-β) expression induced by a cGAS agonist or a STING agonist in human monocytic cells (THP-1), which are known to transition to alveolar macrophages during pulmonary fibrosis development. However, the mechanisms underlying PHMG-induced pulmonary toxicity in lung remain unclear.

Nitrogen-heterocycles are privileged structures in both marketed drugs and natural products. On the other hand, C-H amination reactions furnish unconventional and straightforward approaches for the construction of C-N bonds. Yet, most of the known methods rely on precious metal catalysts.

The serotonin 5-HT receptor (5-HTR), expressed almost exclusively in the brain, affects the Cdk5 signaling as well as the mTOR pathway. Due to the association of 5-HTR signaling with pathways involved in cancer progression, we decided to check the usefulness of 5-HTR ligands in the treatment of CNS tumors. For this purpose, a new group of low-base 5-HTR ligands was developed, belonging to arylsulfonamide derivatives of cyclic arylguanidines.

The synthesis of potassio-1-silolides and -germolides substituted with an amidinate-stabilized silylene is reported. Both anions undergo a thermal rearrangement to the 2-isomer yielding cyclic sila- and germavinyl anions. The reaction is driven by complex formation with metal ions.
