We investigated the pharmacological profile of a novel series of quinoxaline-based 5-HT3 receptor ligands bearing an extra basic moiety oil the piperazine N-4. High affinity and selectivity were dependent on the electronic properties of the substituents, and at cardiac level 3a and 3c modulated chronotropy but not inotropy. In von Bezold-Jarisch reflex test 3a-c were partial agonists while 3i was a full agonist. Preliminary pharmacokinetic studies indicated that 3a is it brain penetrating agent.

Summary: The potential of natural and synthetic chalcones as therapeutic leads against various diseases has been explored, and they have shown interesting anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer properties. This study focuses on investigating the anti-leishmanial activity of natural chalcone lophirone E and its derivatives. The synthesis of lophirone E and a small set of chalcones with different substitution patterns has been described, and the compounds were evaluated for their activity against Leishmania infantum promastigotes. The study highlights the potential of this class of compounds as antiparasitic hits and suggests further investigation.

Development of 1-(2-aminophenyl)pyrrole-based amides acting as human topoisomerase I inhibitors

Gabriele Carullo, Sarah Mazzotta, Jessica Ceramella, Domenico Iacopetta, Anna Ramunno, Camillo Rosano, Antonella Brizzi, Giuseppe Campiani, Francesca Aiello, Maria S. Sinicropi

Summary: Topoisomerases play a significant role in cancer development and progression in the human body. In particular, the inhibition of topoI has been found to be an effective strategy in controlling cancer cell proliferation. Pyrrole-based compounds have emerged as promising anticancer agents, especially for breast cancer therapy and topoI inhibition. A small library of 1-(2-aminophenyl)pyrrole-based amides (7a-f) has been developed, showing potential as new anticancer agents through their ability to induce apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. Enzymatic assays and docking simulations revealed the inhibitory activity and potential binding site for these compounds.

Enantioselective catalytic Strecker reaction on cyclic (Z)-aldimines in flow: reaction optimization and sustainability aspects

Antonella Ilenia Alfano, Andrea Sorato, Alessia Ciogli, Heiko Lange, Margherita Brindisi

Summary: Catalytic enantioselective Strecker reactions on achiral substrates are an effective strategy for synthesizing α-amino nitriles. We developed a flow-based methodology for enantioselective Strecker reactions using ethyl cyanoformate as a safe cyanide source, a cinchona-based catalyst, and methanol as an additive. Through extensive parameter exploration, we identified the most efficient reagent mixing mode, optimal solvent, minimum catalyst loading, additive, temperature, and residence time. This method enables fast and complete formation of α-amino nitrile products, reducing yield drop due to indolenine degradation in batch reactions. We also propose a simple procedure for catalyst recycling, suggesting potential sustainability and further optimization of this methodology.
