Article Abstract
The methylation of amino acid residues has played an important role in the biological function of bioactive peptides. In this paper, various methyl-modified and stereostructural-modified marine cyclopeptide galaxamide analogs with isoindolinone were synthesized by a photoinduced single electron transfer cyclization reaction. It was found that the single-methyl substitution was beneficial for the bioactivity of cyclic analogs with isoindolinone fragments, and the influence of methylation on bioactivity is uncertain and is sometimes case-specific. The compound with a single methyl group at Gly (compound ) showed the strongest antiproliferative activity against HepG-2 cells. The tumor cell apoptosis, cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular Ca concentration and lactate dehydrogenase activity have been studied extensively to evaluate the antitumor potential of compound . Western blotting tests showed that compound could decrease the MDM2 level and increase p53 levels efficiently. Careful molecular docking suggested that cyclic peptide 8 could bind firmly with MDM2 oncoprotein, indicating that MDM2 may be a potential drug target of the prepared peptides.

The difluoromethyl group is a crucial fluorinated moiety with distinctive biological properties, and the synthesis of chiral CF₂H-containing analogs has been recognized as a powerful strategy in drug design. To date, the most established method for accessing enantioenriched difluoromethyl compounds involves the enantioselective functionalization of nucleophilic and electrophilic CF₂H synthons. However, this approach is limited by lower reactivity and reduced enantioselectivity.

Phthalimide and -phenylphthalimide smoothly condense with di--tolyl ether in triflic acid (CFSOH, TfOH) to obtain the corresponding spiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-ones. Structural analogs of phthalimide, such as phthalic anhydride and 1,3-indandione (but not saccharin), show similar reactivity. In contrast, N-(tetrafluoropyridin-4-yl)phthalimide reacts with DTE by an alternative pathway, yielding isobenzofuran dispiro derivative.

The exploration of novel anticancer compounds based on natural cyclopeptides has emerged as a pivotal paradigm in the contemporary advancement of macrocyclic pharmaceuticals. Phakellistatin is a cycloheptapeptide derived from the brown snubby sponge and exhibits remarkable antitumor activity. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a series of chiral cyclopeptides incorporating the rigid isoindolinone moiety at various sites within the natural cycloheptapeptide Phakellistatin , with the aim of investigating conformationally constrained cyclopeptides as potential antitumor agents.

In this contribution, a series of dihydroisoindolo[2,1-]quinolin-11-ones was synthesized by a one-pot multicomponent Povarov reaction starting from anilines, alkenes (-anethole, methyl eugenol and indene) and 2-formylbenzoic acid. Different eutectic solvents bearing Lewis or Brønsted acids were evaluated as reaction media and catalysts for the model reaction employing -toluidine and -anethole finding that the eutectic mixture ChCl/ZnCl (1/2) allowed the obtention of the target compound in 77% isolated yield. Under the optimized reaction conditions, 20 derivatives were obtained in good to moderated yields using - and -susbstituted anilines, while the corresponding -analogs followed a different pathway affording isoindolinones.

Cyclic peptides have become an attractive modality for drug development due to their high specificity, metabolic stability and higher cell permeability. In an effort to explore novel antitumor compounds based on natural cyclopeptide from the phakellistatin family, we found an isoindolinone-containing analog (S-PK6) of phakellistatin 6 capable of suppressing the viability and proliferation of HepG2 cells. The aim of the present study is to shed light on the mechanism of action of this novel compound.
