The incorporation of amide groups into biologically active molecules has been proven to be an efficient strategy for drug design and discovery. In this study, we present a simple and practical method for the synthesis of amide-containing quinazolin-4(3)-ones under transition-metal-free conditions. This is achieved through a carbamoyl-radical-triggered cascade cyclization of N3-alkenyl-tethered quinazolinones. Notably, the carbamoyl radical is generated in situ from the oxidative decarboxylative process of oxamic acids in the presence of (NH)SO.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of many cancers with DNA-repairing deficiencies via synthetic lethality. Advocated by the polypharmacology concept, recent evidence discovered that a significantly synergistic effect in increasing the death of cancer cells was observed by simultaneously perturbating the enzymatic activities of bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) and PARP1. Here, we developed a novel cheminformatics approach combined with a structure-based method aiming to facilitate the design of dual PARP1-BRD4 inhibitors.

Palladium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Migratory Hydroamidocarbonylation of Amide-Linked Alkenes to Access Chiral α-Alkyl Succinimides.

A Pd-catalyzed asymmetric isomerization-hydroamidocarbonylation of amide-containing alkenes was developed, affording a variety of chiral α-alkyl succinimides in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivities. The key to success was introducing bulky 1-adamentyl P-substitution and 2,3,5,6-tetramethoxyphenyl group into the rigid P-chirogenic bisphosphine ligand to create stronger steric hinderance and deeper catalytic pocket. By this approach, regio- or stereo-convergent synthesis of enantiomeric succinimides from the mixture of olefin isomers was achieved.

This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of a series of novel monomeric aqua-ligated iron(III) complexes, [Fe(L)(OH)] (R=OMe, H, Cl, NO), supported by an amide-containing pentadentate N donor ligand, L [HL=2-(((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)(pyridin-2-yl-methyl)amino)-N-(5-R-quinolin-8-yl)acetamide]. The complexes were characterized by various spectroscopic and analytical techniques, including electrochemistry and magnetic measurements. The Fe(III)-hydroxo complexes, [Fe(L)(OH)], were generated in situ by deprotonating the corresponding aqua complexes in a pH ~7 aqueous medium.

Protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) 4 (also known as coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1; CARM1) is involved in a variety of biological processes and is considered as an emerging target class in oncology and other diseases. A successful strategy to identify PRMT substrate-competitive inhibitors has been to exploit chemical scaffolds able to mimic the arginine substrate. (S)-Alanine amide moiety is a valuable arginine mimic for the development of potent and selective PRMT4 inhibitors; however, its high hydrophilicity led to derivatives with poor cellular outcomes.
