Homocouplings of Sodium Arenesulfinates: Selective Access to Symmetric Diaryl Sulfides and Diaryl Disulfides.

ABSTRACT: Symmetrical diaryl sulfides and diaryl disulfides have been efficiently and selectively constructed via the homocoupling of sodium arenesulfinates. The selectivity of products relied on the different reaction systems: symmetrical diaryl sulfides were predominately obtained under the Pd(OAc)₂ catalysis, whereas symmetrical diaryl sulfides were exclusively yielded in the presence of the reductive Fe/HCl system.

Diaryl and heteroaryl sulfides: synthesis via sulfenyl chlorides and evaluation as selective anti-breast-cancer agents.

Project description:A mild protocol for the synthesis of diaryl and heteroaryl sulfides is described. In a one-pot procedure, thiols are converted to sulfenyl chlorides and reacted with arylzinc reagents. This method tolerates functional groups including aryl fluorides and chlorides, ketones, as well as N-heterocycles including pyrimidines, imidazoles, tetrazoles, and oxadiazoles. Two compounds synthesized by this method exhibited selective activity against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line in the micromolar range.

Synthesis and evaluation of diaryl sulfides and diaryl selenide compounds for antitubulin and cytotoxic activity.

Project description:We have devised a procedure for the synthesis of analogs of combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) containing sulfur and selenium atoms as spacer groups between the aromatic rings. CA-4 is well known for its potent activity as an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization, and its prodrugs combretastatin A-4 phosphate (CA-4P) and combretastatin A-1 phosphate (CA-1P) are being investigated as antitumor agents that cause tumor vascular collapse in addition to their activity as cytotoxic compounds. Here we report the preparation of two sulfur analogs and one selenium analog of CA-4. All synthesized compounds, as well as several synthetic intermediates, were evaluated for inhibition of tubulin polymerization and for cytotoxic activity in human cancer cells. Compounds 3 and 4 were active at nM concentration against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. As inhibitors of tubulin polymerization, both 3 and 4 were more active than CA-4 itself. In addition, 4 was the most active of these agents against 786, HT-29 and PC-3 cancer cells. Molecular modeling binding studies are also reported for compounds 1, 3, 4 and CA-4 to tubulin within the colchicine site.

A Kirkwood-Buff derived force field for thiols, sulfides, and disulfides.

Project description:A force field has been developed for molecular simulations of methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide mixtures. The force field specifically attempts to balance the solvation and self-association of these solutes in solution mixtures with methanol. The force field is based on the Kirkwood-Buff (KB) theory of solutions and is parametrized using the KB integrals obtained from the experimental activity coefficients for the solution mixtures. The transferability of the force field was tested and confirmed by the accurate prediction of the activity coefficients for methanethiol/dimethyl sulfide solutions, which were not used in the initial parametrization of the force fields. The ideality of this latter solution is excellently reproduced. The applicability of the force field to simulations in water was corroborated with a reasonably accurate prediction for the low solubility of dimethyl sulfide in water. The aggregation of methanol molecules at low methanol mole fractions displayed by all the mixtures is reproduced and further analyzed.

Diaryl disulfides and thiosulfonates as combretastatin A-4 analogues: Synthesis, cytotoxicity and antitubulin activity.

Project description:Diaryl disulfides and diaryl thiosulfonates were synthesized with the two phenyl rings of all compounds bearing identical halide substituents. Because of structural similarity to the potent antimitotic natural product combretastatin A-4 (CA-4), the compounds were examined for inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and the thiosulfonates were more active than the disulfides. The nine thiosulfonates had IC50 values ranging from 1.2 to 9.1 µM, as compared with 1.3 µM obtained with CA-4. The compounds thus ranged from equipotent with CA-4 to 7-fold less active. The nine disulfides had IC50 values ranging from 1.2 to 5.1 µM, as compared with 0.54 µM obtained with CA-4. The compounds thus ranged from less than half as active as CA-4 to over 9-fold less active. The most active members of each group, 2 g and 3c, in the assembly assay were modeled into the colchicine site. Compound 3c had significant hydrophobic interactions with β-tubulin residues CYS 241 and ALA 250, and its thiosulfonate bridge made a hydrogen bond with β-tubulin residue ASN 258. Compound 2 g had hydrophobic interactions with β-tubulin residues ALA 250, CYS 241 and ALA 254, but there was no significant interaction of the disulfide bridge with tubulin.

Single-atom copper catalyst for the S-arylation reaction to produce diaryl disulfides.

Project description:Single-atom Cu supported on CeO x nanorod catalysts (Cu1/CeO x ) have been synthesized through the anchoring of copper by terminal hydroxyl groups on the CeO x surface. The oxygen defect characteristics of the CeO x nanorods promote electron transfer between Cu and CeO x through a Ce-O-Cu interface, which realizes flexible electronic regulation of the Cu sites. Single-atom Cu species with an oxidation state of between +1 and +2 were formed, which was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray fine structure spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Cu1/CeO x emerged as a catalyst with advanced catalytic performance for elemental sulfur in S-arylation using aryl iodides, achieving 97.1% iodobenzene conversion and 94.8% selectivity toward diphenyl disulfide. The substituted iodobenzene with different electronic or steric groups successfully realized S-arylation and produced the corresponding diaryl disulfides with high selectivity. The fully exposed single-atom Cu with flexible electronic characteristics successively realized oxidative addition or coordination of multiple substrates, making it possible to obtain diaryl disulfide with high selectivity.

Selective inhibition of extracellular thioredoxin by asymmetric disulfides.

Project description:Whereas the role of mammalian thioredoxin (Trx) as an intracellular protein cofactor is widely appreciated, its function in the extracellular environment is not well-understood. Only few extracellular targets of Trx-mediated thiol-disulfide exchange are known. For example, Trx activates extracellular transglutaminase 2 (TG2) via reduction of an intramolecular disulfide bond. Because hyperactive TG2 is thought to play a role in various diseases, understanding the biological role of extracellular Trx may provide critical insight into the pathogenesis of these disorders. Starting from a clinical-stage asymmetric disulfide lead, we have identified analogs with >100-fold specificity for Trx. Structure-activity relationship and computational docking model analyses have provided insights into the features important for enhancing potency and specificity. The most active compound identified had an IC(50) below 0.1 ?M in cell culture and may be appropriate for in vivo use to interrogate the role of extracellular Trx in health and disease.

Efficient Construction of Symmetrical Diaryl Sulfides via a Supported Pd Nanocatalyst-Catalyzed C-S Coupling Reaction.

Project description:Aryl sulfides play an important role in pharmaceuticals, biologically active molecules and polymeric materials. Herein, a general and efficient protocol for Pd@COF-TB (a kind of Pd nanocatalyst supported by a covalent organic framework)/DIPEA-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of symmetrical diaryl sulfides through a C-S coupling reaction from aryl iodides and Na2S2O3 is developed. More importantly, the addition of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) can not only enhance the catalytic activity of a Pd@COF-TB nanocatalyst, but also effectively inhibit the formation of biphenyl byproducts, which are a product of Ullmann reaction. Besides, it has been confirmed that the aryl Bunte salts generated in situ from Na2S2O3 and aryl iodides are the sulfur sources involved in this C-S coupling reaction. With the strategy proposed in this work, a variety of symmetrical diaryl sulfides could be obtained in moderate to excellent yields with a high tolerance of various functional groups. Moreover, a possible mechanism of this Pd nanoparticle-catalyzed C-S coupling reaction is proposed based on the results of controlling experiments.
