P2 × 7R is crucial in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases, and its activation leads to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, exacerbating the inflammatory response. Two new series of scarce cyclic N, O-acetals (ATF 61-74) and corresponding opened N, N-aminals (CS 1-14) have been designed as novel potential P2RX7 antagonists, then synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory properties through investigating the pro-inflammatory markers and also for their antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Three compounds (ATF 64, CS 8, and CS 9) exhibited dual antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. ATF 64, CS 8, and CS 9 reduced ROS production and IL-1β expression in macrophages and intestinal cells in a manner correlated with NF-KB expression. These compounds showed excellent antifungal activity against clinical isolates of C. albicans resistant to fluconazole and caspofungin, and reduced C. albicans biofilm formation. Treatment with CS 8 or CS 9 protected the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans against infection with C. albicans and enhanced antimicrobial gene expression. This duality of action offers a promising new pharmacological strategy to counteract inflammatory diseases and propels N, N-aminals as promising candidates for future optimization and investigation.

A one-shot substitution of all hydrogens at the α,β-positions of saturated cyclic amines was achieved. The key feature of this reaction is the sequential involvement of intra- and intermolecular redox processes. When ,-acetals obtained through an internal redox process were treated with a catalytic amount of Zn(OTf) and an excess amount of benzylidene barbiturates, three key transformations involving intermolecular redox process occurred successively to afford α,β-unsaturated lactams in moderate to good chemical yields.

An unprecedented eco-friendly multi-component domino reaction for the synthesis of novel ,-acetals is reported. The protocol involves sequential coupling, [1,5]-hydride transfer and hetero-Diels-Alder cyclization. This new strategy enables direct α,β-difunctionalization of cyclic amines utilizing enamines generated .

A simple procedure for the synthesis of (poly)cyclic ,- and ,-acetals from various enol ethers, -acyl enamines or Boc-protected enamines has been developed. The key step is a photocatalytic Stork-Ueno-type cylization using the very simple metal-free conditions of catalytic eosin, diisopropylamine in the green solvent ethanol with blue LED irradition.

A reductive (3+2) annulation of lactams through iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation and photoredox coupling with α-bromoacetic acid was developed. The iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of the lactam carbonyl group and subsequent elimination provide a transient cyclic enamine, which undergoes iridium-catalyzed photoredox coupling with α-bromoacetic acid in a one-pot process. The developed conditions show high functional-group tolerance and provide cyclic N,O-acetals containing a quaternary carbon center.
