Summary: A new series of indole-2-carboxamides and pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-ones have been developed as new antiproliferative agents that target both wild and mutant type EGFR. The compounds 5c, 5d, 5f, 5g, 6e, and 6f showed the highest antiproliferative activity, with GI(50) values ranging from 29 nM to 47 nM. Moreover, compounds 5f and 5g demonstrated excellent inhibitory activity against EGFR(T790M) and increased the level of caspase 8 and Bax while decreasing the levels of anti-apoptotic Bcl2 protein.

Summary: This paper presents the synthesis of 3-(indol-2-yl)succinimide/maleimide and indoyl/pyrrolyl fused benzodiazepine skeletons through the reaction of 2-(1H-indol-1-yl)anilines with maleimides. Mechanistic studies reveal that the formation of these compounds involves Ru(ii)-catalyzed and free amino group-assisted regioselective bond cleavage and coordination reactions. The synthesized compounds show potential as lead compounds for the development of anticancer drugs.

Summary: In chloroform, the p-TsOH promoted annulation reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides and (indol-2-yl)diphenylmethanols resulted in functionalized pyrrolo[3 ',4 ':6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b:4,5-b ']diindoles with satisfactory yields, demonstrating a formal [4+3] cycloaddition and an unprecedented rearrangement of the maleimide motif. Alternatively, the reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides and 3-hydroxy-3-(indol-3-yl)-indolin-2-ones in acetonitrile produced functionalized spiro[indoline-3,9 '-pyrrolo[3 ',4 ':4,5]cyclopenta[1,2-b]indole] in good yields and with high diastereoselectivity. On the other hand, the p-TsOH promoted reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides and 2-hydroxy-2-(indol-3-yl)-indene-1,3-diones yielded functionalized spiro[indene-2,9 '-pyrrolo[3 ',4 ':4,5]cyclopenta[1,2-b]indoles] as major products and spiro[indene-2,9 '-pyrrolo[3 ',4 ':6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b:4,5-b ']diindoles] as minor products.

Summary: We have successfully developed a novel synthesis route to pyrido[1,2-a]indol-6(7H)-ones through a visible light-photocatalyzed formal (4 + 2) cycloaddition of indole-derived bromides and alkenes or alkynes in a microchannel reactor. This method features mild conditions, wide substrate scope, and high reaction efficiency. Furthermore, a reasonable reaction mechanism based on controlled experiments has been proposed.

Summary: In this study, a domino reaction promoted by iodine was successfully used to synthesize various types of polycyclic compounds, including spiro[indoline-3,1'-pyrido[4,3-b]indoles] and spiro[indoline-3,1'-pyrano[4,3-b]indol]-2-ones. The reaction exhibited high yields and the products could be controlled by modifying the substituents in the reaction substrates.

Summary: The redox noninnocence of conjugated imino-alkenyl anions has been revealed in bis((3-imino)indol-2-yl)iron complexes. Both the charge-neutral complex [Fe(C-N)(2)] and the one-electron-reduced complex Li[Fe(C-N)(2)] exhibit high-spin iron(II) properties with closed-shell and open-shell ligands.

Summary: A Friedel-Crafts reaction between 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones and indolizines, catalyzed by B(C6F5)(3), is reported. This method provides a convenient route to C2-quaternary indolin-3-ones based on indolizine with high yields and regioselectivities. The resulting products can be further modified by N-methylation and trifluoromethane sulfonation.

Summary: By analyzing known antiparallel 4-helix coiled-coil structures, we identified design rules and applied them in the rational design of synthetic peptides to form antiparallel homo- and heterotetramers. Ultimately, we used the sequence of the homotetramer to derive a single-chain 4-helix-bundle protein for recombinant production in E. coli in one step.

Summary: The study presents a general approach to discover orthosteric PPI inhibitors that mimic specific secondary protein structures, validated through experimental examples. Low μM activity selective PPI inhibitors were discovered for two unrelated PPIs, with defined structure-activity relationships established through hit expansion. The approach is believed to have the potential to enable the discovery of inhibitors for a wide range of unrelated secondary structure-mediated PPIs.
