    Water-Accelerated Cationic ,-(7- endo) Cyclisation: Application to Indole-Based Peri-Annulated Polyheterocycles,

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 26 2010
    Mohammad Saifuddin
    Abstract An efficient and versatile method for the synthesis of indole-based polycyclic indolo-benzazepine and its derivatives through water-accelerated cationic ,-cyclisation is described. The strategy involves condensation of arylamine moieties linked to C-4 in indole/azaindole systems with arylaldehydes in water containing catalytic amount of Brønsted acids. The C,C bond formation in water is complete within 10,30 min, furnishing the title compounds in excellent yields and purities, whereas in organic solvents 10,12 h are required. Furthermore, aldehydes both with electron-donating and-withdrawing substituents facilitate the ,-cyclisation equally. [source]


    Indole in DNA: Comparison of a Nucleosidic with a Non-Nucleosidic DNA Base Substitution

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2009
    Janez Barbaric
    Abstract The synthetic incorporation of indole as an artificial DNA base into oligonucleotides by two different structural approaches is described. For both types of modification, the indole moiety is attached through the C-3 position to the oligonucleotides. As a mimic of natural nucleosides, the indole nucleoside of ,-2,-deoxyribofuranoside (In) was synthesized. The corresponding In-modified duplexes were compared with duplexes that contained the indole group connected through (S)-3-amino-1,2-propanediol as an acyclic linker between the phosphodiester bridges of the oligonucleotides. This linker was tethered to the C-3 position of the indole heterocycle either directly (In,) or by a carbamate function (In,). The melting temperatures of the corresponding indole-modified DNA duplexes were measured and compared. Interestingly, not only the In, and In, modifications but also the natural-like In base surrogate destabilize the DNA duplex strongly. This result supports our approach to apply the acyclic glycol linker to incorporate aromatic molecules as artificial DNA base substitutions. The major advantage of acyclic glycol linkers [such as the applied (S)-3-amino-1,2-propanediol] is that the corresponding modifications are synthetically more easily and readily accessible, as it avoids the preparation of the nucleosidic bond and the separation and purification of the ,- and ,-anomers.

    2H -Pyrrole Derivatives from an Aza-Nazarov Reaction Cascade Involving Indole as the Neutral Leaving Group

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 21 2008
    Nugzar Ghavtadze
    Abstract Trifluoromethyl-substituted N -indolinyl-1-aza-1,4-dien-3-ones 4, which are accessible in good yields from indolinylimino esters 6 in a two-step procedure, undergo a novel type of aza-Nazarov cyclization if treated with strong acids to give the hitherto unknown 3-hydroxy-5H -pyrrole derivatives 8a,p. The solvent-free polyphosphoric acid/acyl anhydride system as the acidic reaction medium is especially efficient and requires only short reaction times. According to quantum chemical calculations the key step in the reaction cascade is the cleavage of the N,N bond of the hydrazone fragment of a protonated N -(indolin-1-yl)-1-aza-1,4-dien-3-one intermediate such as 10. This intermediate releases 3H -indole as an unusual, but very efficient neutral leaving group. Several 1-aza-1,4-dien-3-ones 4 and some 3-hydroxy-5H -pyrrole derivatives 8 were characterized by X-ray diffraction.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source]


    Indole as an intercellular signal in microbial communities

    FEMS MICROBIOLOGY REVIEWS, Issue 4 2010
    Jin-Hyung Lee
    Abstract Bacteria can utilize signal molecules to coordinate their behavior to survive in dynamic multispecies communities. Indole is widespread in the natural environment, as a variety of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (to date, 85 species) produce large quantities of indole. Although it has been known for over 100 years that many bacteria produce indole, the real biological roles of this molecule are only now beginning to be unveiled. As an intercellular signal molecule, indole controls diverse aspects of bacterial physiology, such as spore formation, plasmid stability, drug resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence in indole-producing bacteria. In contrast, many non-indole-producing bacteria, plants and animals produce diverse oxygenases which may interfere with indole signaling. It appears indole plays an important role in bacterial physiology, ecological balance, and possibly human health. Here we discuss our current knowledge and perspectives on indole signaling.

    Indole, a core nucleus for potent inhibitors of tubulin polymerization,

    MEDICINAL RESEARCH REVIEWS, Issue 2 2007
    Andrea Brancale
    Abstract Microtubules are the basic components of cell structure, which take part in a wide number of pivotal cellular functions. Drugs that are able to modulate the microtubule assembly either by inhibition of tubulin polymerization or by blocking microtubule disassembly are of great interest in anti-cancer therapy. Several tubulin polymerization inhibitors characterized by the presence of an indole nucleus have been obtained from natural sources or have been prepared by semi-synthesis. In the last decade an ever increasing number of synthetic indoles have been reported. We have reviewed anti-tubulin agents obtained by synthesis having an indole as core nucleus. The synthesis, the biological activity, and the structure,activity relationship aspects of 3-formyl-2-phenylindoles, heterocombretastatins, diarylindoles, 2-aroylindoles, D-24851, 2-aryl-3-aroylindoles, 3-aroyl- and 1-aroylindoles, and arylthioindoles are discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Indole and 7-hydroxyindole diminish Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence

    MICROBIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY, Issue 1 2009
    Jintae Lee
    Summary Indole is an extracellular biofilm signal for Escherichia coli, and many bacterial oxygenases readily convert indole to various oxidized compounds including 7-hydroxyindole (7HI). Here we investigate the impact of indole and 7HI on Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 virulence and quorum sensing (QS)-regulated phenotypes; this strain does not synthesize these compounds but degrades them rapidly. Indole and 7HI both altered extensively gene expression in a manner opposite that of acylhomoserine lactones; the most repressed genes encode the mexGHI-opmD multidrug efflux pump and genes involved in the synthesis of QS-regulated virulence factors including pyocyanin (phz operon), 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone (PQS) signal (pqs operon), pyochelin (pch operon) and pyoverdine (pvd operon). Corroborating these microarray results, indole and 7HI decreased production of pyocyanin, rhamnolipid, PQS and pyoverdine and enhanced antibiotic resistance. In addition, indole affected the utilization of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, and 7HI abolished swarming motility. Furthermore, 7HI reduced pulmonary colonization of P. aeruginosa in guinea pigs and increased clearance in lungs. Hence, indole-related compounds have potential as a novel antivirulence approach for the recalcitrant pathogen P. aeruginosa. [source]

    Indole- and carbazole-substituted pyridinium iodide salts: a rare case of conformational isomerism in crystals

    ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 11 2001
    Zheng Wang
    A series of indole- and carbazole-substituted pyridinium iodide salts has been synthesized and characterized. X-ray analysis revealed that the iodide salt of the indole-substituted cation (E)-4-(1H -indol-3-yl­vinyl)- N -methyl­pyridinium (IMPE+), C16H15N2+·I,, (I), has two polymorphic modifications, (Ia) and (Ib), and a hemihydrate structure, C16H15N2+·I,·0.5H2O, (II). Until now, only one crystal modi­fication has been identified for the (E)-4-(9-ethyl-9H -carbazol-3-yl­vinyl)- N -methyl­pyridinium (ECMPE+) iodide salt, C22H21N2+·I,, (III). Crystals of (Ia) and (Ib) comprise stacks of antiparallel cations with iodide anions located in the channels between the stacks. Due to the presence of the water mol­ecules, the packing in (II) is quite different to that found in (Ia) and (Ib), and positional disorder involving a statistical superposition of two rotamers of IMPE+, with different orientations of the indole fragment, was found. Crystals of (III) contain two independent ECMPE+ rotamers with different orientations of their carbazole substituents. The cations are packed in stacks, with the iodide anions located in the channels between the stacks. In (III), the iodide was found to be disordered over two sites, with occupancies of 0.83 and 0.17.
