RESUMO
Inflammation as a host's excessive immune response to stimulation, is involved in the development of numerous diseases. To discover novel anti-inflammatory agents and based on our previous synthetic work on marine natural product Chrysamide B, it and a series of derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity on inhibition of LPS-induced NO production. Then the preliminary structure-activity relationships were conducted. Among them, Chrysamide B is the most potent anti-inflammatory agent with low cytotoxicity and strong inhibition on the production of NO (IC50 = 0.010 µM) and the activity of iNOS (IC50 = 0.082 µM) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Primary studies suggested that the mechanism of action may be that it interfered the formation of active dimeric iNOS but not affected transcription and translation. Furthermore, its good performance of anti-inflammatory effect on LPS-induced multiple inflammatory cytokines production, carrageenan-induced paw edema, and endotoxin-induced septic mice, was observed. We believe that these findings would provide an idea for the further modification and research of these analogs in the future.

An efficient and practical methodology to obtain α-thio-ß-dicarbonyl compounds was presented under alkaline conditions via potassium iodide (KI) catalysis; various symmetrical/unsymmetrical 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds were obtained under an aerobic atmosphere in moderate to excellent yields, with good functional group tolerance. Notably, a widely used anti-inflammatory drug butazodine could be modified with our protocol, even on a gram scale.
RESUMO
A new approach for the synthesis of isatins and isoindigoes by an inexpensive and environmentally friendly NaI-mediated transformation is disclosed. The selectivity could be switched by simply varying the solvent, and isatins (using THF) and isoindigoes (using DMSO) could be obtained in moderate to excellent yields.
RESUMO
An efficient, environmentally benign and unprecedented synthesis of various α-sulfenylated amides/esters has been developed under oxygen atmosphere. The reaction shows good functional group tolerance and excellent chemo/regioselectivity. All the desired products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, even on the gram scale. Practically, the related α-thiol Weinreb amide can be readily transferred to a series of prospective compounds, and selenium atom can be introduced to the α-sites of the amides in high yields.
