The best models were obtained for the receptor-based alignment with CoMSIA combining steric （S）, electrostatic （E）, and hydrogen bond donor （D） and hydrogen bond acceptor （A） fields （q2 = 0.759, r2 = 0.966, r2 pred = 0.703）. Based on the contour maps of RB CoMSIA model, some key structural factors responsible for inhibitory activity were investigated. Large groups at N-substituent or R6 position are preferred to interact with hydrophobic residues Ile70, Asp150, Ala151, Asn152 and Ser193. Electron-donating or hydrogen bond donor groups on the isatin ring would form polar and hydrogen bond with the negative-charged residue Glu147. In addition, electron-withdrawing groups or hydrogen bond acceptor group near the N-substituent would enhance inhibitory activity. The results are in good accordance and complementary to each other. The developed models could provide guidance in the rational design of more potent and selective JNK inhibitors.展开更多

Furthermore, Nbenzylation of isatin followed by the Schiff base formation furnished a new series of compounds（11a-13c） which allowed the analysis of the effect of isatin N-substitution on the bioactivity of the resulting compounds. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized derivatives was evaluated using a microtiter plate method on a series of gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains. Compounds 2d, 3b, 5c and 6a were among the most potent derivatives against Pseudomonas aeruginosa（MIC = 6.25 μg/m L）.Analysis of the structure-activity relationship showed that the incorporation of（thio）urea-based Schiff bases lead to more potent derivatives with a broader spectrum of antibacterial activity. In addition,highly lipophilic compounds such as 11a-12c did not show any measurable antibacterial activity, which implies that an optimal lipophilicity might be an important requirement for the antibacterial activity of the studied isatins. Finally, the finding that hydantoin derivatives of N-benzylisatins（13a-13c） still exhibit some antibacterial activity prompted us to consider exploring the bioactivity of more diverse derivatives of isatin-aminohydantoin Schiff bases（compounds 1a-1d） in our future studies.展开更多

Limited UV-LDI matrices are available for the analysis of biomolecules due to the restricted structural features to serve in the laser desorption/ionization mechanism with a problem of background signals appearing in the low mass region. This paper describes the application of Schiff base derivatives of acylhydrazide and isatin as alternate UV-LDI matrices for the analysis of peptides with significantly low background signals. Thirty one compounds have been successfully employed as matrices for the analysis of low molecular weight (LMW) peptides (α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (HCCA), a preferred choice for peptide analysis.展开更多

In an effort to discover novel agents to treat this superbug, an old drug methisazone was found to be a weak NDM-1 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 297.6 mmol/L. Based on this result, a series of isatin-β-thiosemicarbazones（IBTs）were synthesized and biologically evaluated as novel NDM-1 inhibitors. Nine of the IBT compounds showed IC50 values of 〈10 mmol/L, the best of which was 2.72 mmol/L. Comparative field analysis（Co MFA） contour maps were generated to depict the structural features and molecular docking was performed to understand the possible binding mode of these inhibitors. The present research hereby has provided valuable information for further discovery of NDM-1 inhibitors.展开更多

Compounds 3a―3f, 5a, 5f and 5j were chosen for the further evaluation of their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis（MTB） H37Rv ATCC 27294 and MDR-MTB 09710. All the target com pounds[minimum inhibitory concentration（MIC）： 0.39―〉16 μg/mL] were far more active than rifampin（MIC： 2.0―〉256 μg/mL）, but less active than moxifloxacin（MIC： 0.1―1.0 μg/mL） against the three tested strains. The most active compounds 3a and 3c were found to be 2―64 fold more potent than isoniazid and rifampin against M. smegmatis CMCC 93202, 2 fold more potent than rifampin against MTB H37Rv ATCC 27294, and 16―〉64 fold more potent than ethambutol, isoniazid and rifampin against MDR-MTB 09710.

文摘An efficient asymmetric alkenylation between 3-vinylindoles and isatin derivatives was developed under catalysis of a chiral copper complex.A series of optically active 3-alkenyl-3-substituted oxindoles were obtained in excellent yields and stereoselectivities.The reaction mechanism was proposed and supported by DFT calculation.
文摘Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is a preferred and widely used mass spectrometric technique for the analysis of macromolecules. Limited UV-LDI matrices are available for the analysis of biomolecules due to the restricted structural features to serve in the laser desorption/ionization mechanism with a problem of background signals appearing in the low mass region. This paper describes the application of Schiff base derivatives of acylhydrazide and isatin as alternate UV-LDI matrices for the analysis of peptides with significantly low background signals. Thirty one compounds have been successfully employed as matrices for the analysis of low molecular weight (LMW) peptides (α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (HCCA), a preferred choice for peptide analysis.

文摘New Delhi metallo-b-lactmase-1（NDM-1） catalyzes the hydrolysis of b-lactam antibiotics and cleaves the b-lactam ring of the molecule, conferring bacterial resistance against these medicines. In an effort to discover novel agents to treat this superbug, an old drug methisazone was found to be a weak NDM-1 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 297.6 mmol/L. Based on this result, a series of isatin-β-thiosemicarbazones（IBTs）were synthesized and biologically evaluated as novel NDM-1 inhibitors. Nine of the IBT compounds showed IC50 values of 〈10 mmol/L, the best of which was 2.72 mmol/L. Comparative field analysis（Co MFA） contour maps were generated to depict the structural features and molecular docking was performed to understand the possible binding mode of these inhibitors. The present research hereby has provided valuable information for further discovery of NDM-1 inhibitors.
文摘A new approach to synthesis of 6,7-dimethoxyisatin is reported. 2-nitro-3, 4- dimethoxy mandelonitrile in glacial acetic acid was treated with the solution of stannous chloride in hydrochloric acid to give 6, 7-dimethoxyisatin in a high yield.

文摘The first HFIP-promoted catalyst-free cascade reactions for the synthesis of biologically relevant 3,3-di(indolyl)indolin-2-ones(27 examples,up to 98% yield) from readily available indoles and isatin derivatives are described.This protocol shows well tolerance of different functional groups and features mild reaction conditions such as short reaction time(~1 h),no usage of catalyst,easy operation and product isolation.Of particular intere st is the formation of two C-C bonds and one all-carbon quaternary center.This protocol could serve as an alternative strategy to synthesize biologically important 3,3-di(indolyl)indolin-2-ones for biological testing.

文摘Described here is the first example of Cu(0)-catalyzed intramolecular decarbonylative rearrangements of readily available N-aryl isatins assisted by solvent dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)under air atmosphere and additive-free conditions leading to various biologically important acridones in good to excellent yields.This novel transformation is proposed to go through a sequential DMSO-aided Cu insertion into the amide C-N bond,CO extrusion,Cu migration,reductive elimination and DMSO-aided proton migration processes,involving multiple types of bond cleavage and formation in a single chemical step.
