14. Kazunobu Igawa, Yuuya Kawasaki, Sora Nozaki, Naoto Kokan, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Ozone Oxidation of Silylalkene
Mechanistic Study and Application for the Synthesis of Silacarboxylic Acid Derivatives, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 10.1021/acs.joc.9b03350, 85, 6, 4165-4171, 2020.03, The addition-type ozone oxidation of silylalkenes is a highly efficient reaction to provide synthetically versatile α-silylperoxy carbonyl compounds. To gain insight into the reaction mechanism, we performed a computational study, which revealed that the reaction proceeds via [1,2]-Brook rearrangement-type silyl migration of primary ozonide. In sharp contrast to the addition-type reactions, the ozone oxidation of α-alkoxysilylalkenes proceeds in a cleavage-type manner to afford excellent yields of silacarboxylic acid esters via the 1,3-cycloelimination of primary ozonide prior to 1,2-silyl migration..

Ryoma Masuda, Yuuya Kawasaki, Kazunobu Igawa, Yoshiyuki Manabe, Hiroshi Fujii, Nobuo Kato, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Junko Ohkanda, Copper-Free Huisgen Cycloaddition for the 14-3-3-Templated Synthesis of Fusicoccin-Peptide Conjugates, Chemistry - An Asian Journal, 10.1002/asia.202000042, 2020.01, Mid-sized molecules have emerged as an attractive chemical space and potentially provide a robust basis for the development of synthetic agents to control intracellular protein interactions. However, the limited cell permeability and chemical tractability of such agents remain to be addressed. We envisioned that target-templated synthesis of such mid-sized molecules might provide a solution. Here, we exploited a copper-free Huisgen cycloaddition for template synthesis using a peptide fragment containing a 4,8-diazacyclononyne (DACN) moiety and an azide-containing fusicoccin derivative in the presence or absence of recombinant 14-3-3ζ protein in vitro. Time-course changes in the yield of products demonstrated that the reaction was accelerated in the presence of 14-3-3 and one of the regioisomers was generated predominantly, supporting the template effect..

Fumi Tetsuo, Masaki Arioka, Koichi Miura, Misato Kai, Momoko Kubo, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Fumi Takahashi-Yanaga, Fusanori Nishimura, Toshiyuki Sasaguri, Differentiation-inducing factor-1 suppresses cyclin D1-induced cell proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells by inhibiting S6K-mediated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 synthesis, Cancer Science, 10.1111/cas.14204, 110, 12, 3761-3772, 2019.12, Differentiation-inducing factor-1 (DIF-1) has been reported to inhibit the proliferation of various mammalian cells by unknown means, although some possible mechanisms of its action have been proposed, including the activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). Here, we report an alternative mechanism underlying the action of DIF-1 in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7, on which the effects of DIF-1 have not been examined previously. Intragastric administration of DIF-1 reduced the tumor growth from MCF-7 cells injected into a mammary fat pad of nude mice, without causing adverse effects. In cultured MCF-7, DIF-1 arrested the cell cycle in G0/G1 phase and suppressed cyclin D1 expression, consistent with our previous results obtained in other cell species. However, DIF-1 did not inhibit the phosphorylation of GSK-3. Investigating an alternative mechanism for the reduction of cyclin D1, we found that DIF-1 reduced the protein levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). The STAT3 inhibitor S3I-201 suppressed cyclin D1 expression and cell proliferation and the overexpression of STAT3 enhanced cyclin D1 expression and accelerated proliferation. Differentiation-inducing factor-1 did not reduce STAT3 mRNA or reduce STAT3 protein in the presence of cycloheximide, suggesting that DIF-1 inhibited STAT3 protein synthesis. Seeking its mechanism, we revealed that DIF-1 inhibited the activation of 70 kDa and/or 85 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K/p85S6K). Inhibition of p70S6K/p85S6K by rapamycin also reduced the expressions of STAT3 and cyclin D1. Therefore, DIF-1 suppresses MCF-7 proliferation by inhibiting p70S6K/p85S6K activity and STAT3 protein synthesis followed by reduction of cyclin D1 expression..
17. Shoji Morishige, Fumi Takahashi-Yanaga, Shin Ishikane, Masaki Arioka, Kazunobu Igawa, Akihiro Kuroo, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Akira Shiose, Toshiyuki Sasaguri, 2,5-Dimethylcelecoxib prevents isoprenaline-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibroblast activation by inhibiting Akt-mediated GSK-3 phosphorylation, Biochemical Pharmacology, 10.1016/j.bcp.2019.06.018, 168, 82-90, 2019.10, We previously reported that 2,5-dimethylcelecoxib (DM-celecoxib), a celecoxib derivative that is unable to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2, prevented cardiac remodeling by activating glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) and prolonged the lifespan of heart failure mice with genetic dilated cardiomyopathy or transverse aortic constriction-induced left ventricular hypertrophy. However, it remained unclear how DM-celecoxib regulated structure and function of cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts involved in cardiac remodeling. In the present study, therefore, we investigated the effect of DM-celecoxib on isoprenaline-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibroblast activation, because DM-celecoxib prevented isoprenaline-induced cardiac remodeling in vivo. DM-celecoxib suppressed isoprenaline-induced neonatal rat cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by the inhibition of Akt phosphorylation resulting in the activation of GSK-3 and the inhibition of β-catenin and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). DM-celecoxib also suppressed the proliferation and the production of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and fibronectin of rat cardiac fibroblasts. Moreover, we found that phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10 (PTEN) could be a molecule to mediate the effect of DM-celecoxib on Akt. These results suggest that DM-celecoxib directly improves the structure and function of cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts and that this compound could be clinically useful for the treatment of β-adrenergic receptor-mediated maladaptive cardiac remodeling..

Nozomi Mihara, Yasuyuki Yamada, Hikaru Takaya, Yasutaka Kitagawa, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Hiroshi Fujii, Kentaro Tanaka, Site-Selective Supramolecular Complexation Activates Catalytic Ethane Oxidation by a Nitrido-Bridged Iron Porphyrinoid Dimer, Chemistry - A European Journal, 10.1002/chem.201805580, 25, 13, 3369-3375, 2019.03, Development of supramolecular methods to further activate a highly reactive intermediate is a fascinating strategy to create novel potent catalysts for activation of inert chemicals. Herein, a supramolecular approach to enhance the oxidizing ability of a high-valent oxo species of a nitrido-bridged iron porphyrinoid dimer that is a known potent molecular catalyst for light alkane oxidation is reported. For this purpose, a nitrido-bridged dinuclear iron complex of porphyrin-phthalocyanine heterodimer 3
5+
, which is connected through a fourfold rotaxane, was prepared. Heterodimer 3
5+
catalyzed ethane oxidation in the presence of H
2
O
2
at a relatively low temperature. The site-selective complexation of 3
5+
with an additional anionic porphyrin (TPPS
4−
) through π–π stacking and electrostatic interactions afforded a stable 1:1 complex. It was demonstrated that the supramolecular post-synthetic modification of 3
5+
enhances its catalytic activity efficiently. Moreover, supramolecular conjugates achieved higher catalytic ethane oxidation activity than nitrido-bridged iron phthalocyanine dimer, which is the most potent iron-oxo-based molecular catalyst for light-alkane oxidation reported so far. Electrochemical measurements proved that the electronic perturbation from TPPS
4−
to 3
5+
enhanced the catalytic activity..

Small and hydrophilic click reaction device, Chemistry Letters, 10.1246/cl.190026, 48, 5, 495-497, 2019.01, Newly designed small and hydrophilic click reaction devices, NMs-4, 8-diazacyclononynes (NMs-DACNs), have been efficiently synthesized by a one-pot double Nicholas approach.

21. Yasuyuki Yamada, Kentaro Morita, Nozomi Mihara, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Kentaro Tanaka, Catalytic methane oxidation by a supramolecular conjugate based on a μ-nitrido-bridged iron porphyrinoid dimer, New Journal of Chemistry, 10.1039/c9nj02210d, 43, 29, 11477-11482, 2019.01, Catalytic methane oxidation was conducted using a μ-nitrido-bridged dinuclear iron complex of a four-fold rotaxane heterodimer of a porphyrin and a phthalocyanine. Extension of the π-stacked structure of the four-fold rotaxane-based μ-nitrido-bridged iron porphyrinoid dimer by supramolecular complexation with an additional tetraanionic porphyrin apparently increased the methane conversion ability..

Kazunobu Igawa, Yuuya Kawasaki, Yusuke Ano, Takeru Kashiwagi, Kouhei Ogawa, Jun Ichi Hayashi, Ryota Morita, Yukari Yoshioka, Kazuhiro Uehara, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Preparation of enantioenriched chiral organic molecules by dynamic asymmetric induction from a outer chiral source, Chemistry Letters, 10.1246/cl.190170, 48, 7, 726-729, 2019.01, To obtain enantioenriched chiral organic molecules, numerous optical resolution and asymmetric synthetic methods have been developed to date. Herein, we introduce a new approach termed dynamic asymmetric induction (DYASIN) for the preparation of enantioenriched chiral molecules based on the stereocontrol of dynamic chiral molecules (DYCMs) using an outer chiral source (OCS). DYASIN makes it possible to obtain the enantioenriched form of dynamic chiral molecules from their racemic form without bond cleavage or bond formation. The thus-obtained enantioenriched molecules can be readily converted into a variety of chiral molecules with stable stereochemistries, without any loss of enantiomeric purity..

Asymmetric Synthesis, Structural Features, and Control of Self-Assembly, Chemistry - A European Journal, 10.1002/chem.201803270, 24, 55, 14617-14621, 2018.10, π-Conjugated helicenes containing heteroatoms have attracted significant attention due to their diverse chemical and electronic structures, as well as tunable physical properties. It was rationally anticipated that the self-assembly of coumarin-fused helicenes would be controlled by the effects of a substituent on the internal edge of the helix. Here, this work reports the efficient syntheses of coumarin-fused helicenes 1 a,b (R=Ph, Me), and the enantioselective synthesis of 1 a (R=Ph) by chiral AuI-catalyzed hydroarylation. The helical structure of 1 was unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallography. Of particular note, the enantiomerically pure crystal of 1 a adopted a one-dimensional columnar structure based on π–π stacking interactions, as expected. Furthermore, a significant difference between the fluorescence quantum yields of the enantiomerically pure form and racemate of 1 a was observed..
24. Sachie Arae, Shota Beppu, Takahiro Kawatsu, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Ryo Irie, Asymmetric Synthesis of Axially Chiral Benzocarbazole Derivatives Based on Catalytic Enantioselective Hydroarylation of Alkynes, Organic Letters, 10.1021/acs.orglett.8b01945, 20, 16, 4796-4800, 2018.08, A new synthetic approach to novel axially chiral benzocarbazole derivatives based on the highly enantioselective intramolecular hydroarylation (94-96% ee) of linked alkyne-indole systems by using the prevalent chiral base catalyst, cinchonidine or cinchonine, under unprecedented transition-metal-free conditions is described. The process is considered to involve chiral base catalysis for enantioselective transformation of the alkyne part to a reaction intermediate with an axially chiral vinylidene o-quinone methide (VQM) functionality, which subsequently effects stereospecific cyclization with the tethered indole moiety..
25. Tomohiro Meguro, Suguru Yoshida, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Takamitsu Hosoya, Transient Protection of Organic Azides from Click Reactions with Alkynes by Phosphazide Formation, Organic Letters, 10.1021/acs.orglett.8b01692, 20, 13, 4126-4130, 2018.07, A method for protecting organic azides from click reactions with alkynes is reported. Treatment of azides with Amphos affords phosphazides, which are stable under click reaction conditions and are easily converted back to azides by treatment with elemental sulfur. Thus, the method allows for facile modification of azide compounds via site-selective click reactions..

27. Sachie Arae, Masaki Furusawa, Shota Beppu, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Ryo Irie, Vinylidene ortho-quinone methides
Unique chiral reaction intermediates in catalytic asymmetric synthesis, Chimia, 10.2533/chimia.2018.892, 72, 12, 892-899, 2018.01, Vinylidene ortho-quinone methides (VQMs) are one-carbon elongated homologues of ortho-quinone methides (QMs), well-known as useful reaction intermediates in organic transformations. These related quinone methides are quite distinct in terms of stereochemistry. Namely, VQMs are characterized by an exocyclic allenyl ketone unit merged with a dearomatized ring system and thus, can be rendered axially chiral by locating a substituent properly at the terminal methylene group of the allene moiety. It should be also noted that VQMs are tautomers of ortho-ethynylphenols and these isomeric species are correlated through a proton-shift (tautomerization). Focusing on these stereochemical and structural features, we have pursued the development of unprecedented asymmetric reactions involving enantioenriched VQM intermediates generated by chiral-basecatalyzed tautomerization of the ethynylphenol precursors. Indeed, commonly used chiral base catalysts such as cinchonine (CN) and cinchonidine (CD) have been successfully demonstrated to be effective to this end. In this account, we wish to briefly describe our recent studies on the asymmetric syntheses of optically active indeno[1,2-c]chromenes, benzofuro[3,2-b]indeno[1,2-c]chromenes, and benzo[a]carbazoles, based on the catalytic enantioselective generation of VQMs with CN or CD and the stereocontrolled intramolecular follow-up cyclization with tethered alkynes, benzofurans, and indoles, respectively..

Shota Beppu, Sachie Arae, Masaki Furusawa, Kosuke Arita, Hitoshi Fujimoto, Michinori Sumimoto, Tatsushi Imahori, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Ryo Irie, Stereoselective Intramolecular Dearomatizative [4+2] Cycloaddition of Linked Ethynylnaphthol–Benzofuran Systems, European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 10.1002/ejoc.201701481, 2017, 46, 6914-6918, 2017.12, A base-catalyzed stereoselective intramolecular dearomatizative [4+2] cycloaddition of o-phenylene-linked ethynylnaphthol–benzofuran systems was explored. In this reaction, we presume the involvement of electrophilic vinylidene o-quinone methides (4π), which add across the electron-rich furan double bonds (2π) to produce elaborate, fused oxa-polyheterocyclic frameworks with consecutive quaternary and tertiary asymmetric carbon atoms as single diastereomers. The catalytic and enantioselective synthesis of these chiral fused polyheterocyclic structures is also feasible with the use of a prevalent cinchonidine or cinchonine chiral base..
29. Suguru Yoshida, Keita Shimizu, Keisuke Uchida, Yuki Hazama, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Takamitsu Hosoya, Construction of Condensed Polycyclic Aromatic Frameworks through Intramolecular Cycloaddition Reactions Involving Arynes Bearing an Internal Alkyne Moiety, Chemistry - A European Journal, 10.1002/chem.201704345, 23, 61, 15332-15335, 2017.11, Facile synthetic methods for condensed polycyclic aromatic compounds via aryne intermediates are reported. The generation of arynes bearing a (3-arylpropargyl)oxy group from the corresponding o-iodoaryl triflate-type precursors efficiently afforded arene-fused oxaacenaphthene derivatives, which were formed through intramolecular [2+4] cycloaddition. Extending the method to the generation of arynes bearing a 1,3-diyne moiety led to a continuous generation of naphthalyne intermediate through the hexadehydro Diels–Alder reaction involving the aryne triple bond. This novel type of aryne-relay chemistry enabled the synthesis of a unique aminoarylated oxaacenaphthene derivative and highly ring-fused anthracene derivatives..

The thus obtained substitution products can be converted into novel silacyclopentane triols, amines, and carboxylic acids in stereospecific manner..
31. Masaki Arioka, Fumi Takahashi-Yanaga, Momoko Kubo, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Toshiyuki Sasaguri, Anti-tumor effects of differentiation-inducing factor-1 in malignant melanoma
GSK-3-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation and GSK-3-independent suppression of cell migration and invasion, Biochemical Pharmacology, 10.1016/j.bcp.2017.05.004, 138, 31-48, 2017.08, Differentiation-inducing factor-1 (DIF-1) isolated from Dictyostelium discoideum strongly inhibits the proliferation of various mammalian cells through the activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). To evaluate DIF-1 as a novel anti-cancer agent for malignant melanoma, we examined whether DIF-1 has anti-proliferative, anti-migratory, and anti-invasive effects on melanoma cells using in vitro and in vivo systems. DIF-1 reduced the expression levels of cyclin D1 and c-Myc by facilitating their degradation via GSK-3 in mouse (B16BL6) and human (A2058) malignant melanoma cells, and thereby strongly inhibited their proliferation. DIF-1 suppressed the canonical Wnt signaling pathway by lowering the expression levels of transcription factor 7-like 2 and β-catenin, key transcription factors in this pathway. DIF-1 also inhibited cell migration and invasion, reducing the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2; however, this effect was not dependent on GSK-3 activity. In a mouse lung tumor formation model, repeated oral administrations of DIF-1 markedly reduced melanoma colony formation in the lung. These results suggest that DIF-1 inhibits cell proliferation by a GSK-3-dependent mechanism and suppresses cell migration and invasion by a GSK-3-independent mechanism. Therefore, DIF-1 may have a potential as a novel anti-cancer agent for the treatment of malignant melanoma..
32. Ai Fujita, Fumi Takahashi-Yanaga, Sachio Morimoto, Tatsuya Yoshihara, masaki arioka, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Sumio Hoka, Toshiyuki Sasaguri, 2,5-Dimethylcelecoxib prevents pressure-induced left ventricular remodeling through GSK-3 activation, Hypertension Research, 10.1038/hr.2016.122, 40, 2, 130-139, 2017.02, Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a crucial regulator of cardiac hypertrophy. We previously reported that 2,5-dimethylcelecoxib (DM-celecoxib), a celecoxib derivative unable to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2, prevented cardiac remodeling by activating GSK-3, resulting in lifespan prolongation in a mouse model of genetic dilated cardiomyopathy. In the present study, we investigated whether DM-celecoxib can also prevent pressure-induced cardiac remodeling and heart failure, elicited by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Before testing the effects of DM-celecoxib, we compared the effects of TAC on the hearts of wild-type and GSK-3β hetero-deficient (GSK-3β+/-) mice to determine the role of GSK-3 in cardiac remodeling and heart failure. GSK-3β+/- mouse hearts exhibited more severe hypertrophy, which was characterized by accelerated interstitial fibrosis, than wild-type mouse hearts after TAC, suggesting that reduced GSK-3β activity aggravates pressure-induced left ventricular remodeling. We subsequently examined the effects of DM-celecoxib on TAC-induced cardiac remodeling. DM-celecoxib inhibited left ventricular systolic functional deterioration, and prevented left ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis. It also activated GSK-3α and β by inhibiting Akt, suppressing the activity of β-catenin and nuclear factor of activated T-cells and thereby decreasing the expression of the Wnt/β-catenin target gene products fibronectin and matrix metalloproteinase-2. These results suggest that DM-celecoxib is clinically useful for treating pressure-induced heart diseases..

The synthesized DACNs possess versatile connectors for the introduction of functional units and exhibit high click reactivity..
34. Issei Egashira, Fumi Takahashi-Yanaga, Risa Nishida, masaki arioka, Kazunobu Igawa, Katsuhiko Tomooka, Yoshimichi Nakatsu, Teruhisa Tsuzuki, Yusaku Nakabeppu, Takanari Kitazono, Toshiyuki Sasaguri, Celecoxib and 2,5-dimethylcelecoxib inhibit intestinal cancer growth by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, Cancer Science, 10.1111/cas.13106, 108, 1, 108-115, 2017.01, We previously reported that celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, strongly inhibited human colon cancer cell proliferation by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. 2,5-Dimethylcelecoxib (DM-celecoxib), a celecoxib analog that does not inhibit COX-2, has also been reported to have an antitumor effect. In the present study, we elucidated whether DM-celecoxib inhibits intestinal cancer growth, and its underlying mechanism of action. First, we compared the effect of DM-celecoxib with that of celecoxib on the human colon cancer cell lines HCT-116 and DLD-1. 2,5-Dimethylcelecoxib suppressed cell proliferation and inhibited T-cell factor 7-like 2 expression with almost the same strength as celecoxib. 2,5-Dimethylcelecoxib also inhibited the T-cell factor-dependent transcription activity and suppressed the expression of Wnt/β-catenin target gene products cyclin D1 and survivin. Subsequently, we compared the in vivo effects of celecoxib and DM-celecoxib using the Mutyh−/− mouse model, in which oxidative stress induces multiple intestinal carcinomas. Serum concentrations of orally administered celecoxib and DM-celecoxib elevated to the levels enough to suppress cancer cell proliferation. Repeated treatment with celecoxib and DM-celecoxib markedly reduced the number and size of the carcinomas without showing toxicity. These results suggest that the central mechanism for the anticancer effect of celecoxib derivatives is the suppression of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway but not the inhibition of COX-2, and that DM-celecoxib might be a better lead compound candidate than celecoxib for the development of novel anticancer drugs..

Their stereochemical stabilities are highly dependent on substituent R1 on the E-Alkene, embedded heteroatom X in the ring, and ring size. Their planar chirality can be transformed into carbon central chirality without loss of enantiopurity. Therefore, they are useful chiral building blocks for biologically active chiral molecules and precursors for chiral reagents. The enantioenriched forms of 1 and 2 are available by optical resolution of racemate, and asymmetric synthesis based on enantioselective cyclization. Planar chiral dialkoxysilane 32 and ketone 33 were also developed..

In the conjugate, porphyrin and phthalocyanine units were connected to form a cofacial dimeric structure through a flexible fourfold rotaxane linkage, which was advantageous for accommodating small substrates between the iron centers. The conjugate showed efficient catalytic properties, at more positive potentials than those of other reported dinuclear porphyrinoid iron complexes, to selectively afford water through a four-electron reduction process..

Significantly, 1NN was stereochemically stable at room temperature and could be subjected to optical resolution by chiral HPLC. Furthermore, kinetic analysis of 1NN and DFT calculations on its variants revealed that the stereo-chemical stability of the benzodiheterole-based helicenes was highly dependent on not only the heteroaromatic ring component but also on the N-substituent of the pyrrole ring unit..

The key intermediate (Z)-1 was synthesized from commercially available 2-(hydroxymethyl)benzenepropanol (3) in five steps: (i) group-selective Mitsunobu reaction with CH2=CHCH2CH(SO2Ph)2, (ii) oxidation of alcohol, (III) olefination, (iv) RCM, and (v) removal of sulfones in an overall yield of 73%. The photochemical isomerization of (Z)-1 was efficiently performed in the presence of AgNO3-impregnated silica gel (AgNO3/SiO2). The resulting (E)-1 shows dynamic planar chirality at rt. Enantioenriched (E)-1 was prepared by the HPLC separation of enantiomers using a chiral stationary phase, and the absolute stereochemistry was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis of the Pt-coordinated crystalline derivative. The planar chirality of (E)-1 can be converted into the central chirality of carbon; e.g., the oxidation of (R)-(E)-1 using DMDO provided epoxide (8S,9S)-9 in a stereospecific manner. Furthermore, the Lewis acid-promoted reaction of (8S,9S)-9 afforded a unique tricyclic compound (8S,9S)-10 in an excellent yield and in a stereospecific manner..

Despite their structural similarities, L1 and L2 exhibit particularly different characteristics in their use as chiral ligands. L1 was highly effective in the asymmetric allylation of indoles with 1,3-diphenylallyl acetate (up to 99% ee), and in the etherification of alcohols (up to 96% ee). In contrast, L2 was highly effective in the stereocontrol of helical chirality in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC) reaction (up to 99% ee). Density functional theory analysis was employed to propose a model that accounts for the origin of the enantioselectivity in these reactions..

BINIQ was obtained in a racemic form by the diastereoselective Ullmann coupling of 1-(2-iodonaphthalen-1-yl)isoquinoline, which was prepared by the regioselective C-H iodination of 1-(1-naphthyl)isoquinoline. BINIQ has three chiral biaryl axes α and γ at the two naphthylisoquinoline and β at the 2,2'-binaphthyl sites and their relative configuration (αRaβRa , γa ) in solid state was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The naphthyl-isoquinoline axes α and γ were proven rigid enough in solution to allow for optical resolution by a chiral HPLC method and a solution of the optically pure BINIQ (98% ee) in chloroform-d did not result in racemization while standing at room temperature for 24 h. On the other hand, the 2,2'-binaphthyl axis is stereochemically labile and readily alternates between βRa and βSa at room temperature. Accordingly, (αRa a γa )- and (αRa a ,γRa)-BINIQ are in equilibrium in solution with the former stereoisomer being dominant, though the latter is suitable as a bidentate ligand. Notably, this dynamic stereochemical behavior enabled BINIQ to readily give the relative configuration (αRa a ,γRa ) upon coordination to a copper(I) ion at room temperature..

However, it may be difficult to use celecoxib for the treatment of heart failure because of thromboembolic adverse reactions. Since 2,5-dimethyl (DM)-celecoxib, a derivative unable to inhibit COX-2, has been also reported to inhibit Akt, we attempted to examine whether DM-celecoxib retains the ability to prevent cardiac remodeling and improve cardiac functions using a mouse model of inherited dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DM-celecoxib as well as celecoxib administered daily for 4 weeks inhibited Akt and subsequent phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β and mammalian target of rapamycin. Furthermore, both celecoxib and DM-celecoxib inhibited the activities of nuclear factor of activated T cell and -catenin and the expression of TCF7L2 (T-cell-specific transcriptional factor-7L2) and c-Myc, downstream mediators related to cardiac hypertrophy. Functional and morphological measurements showed that these compounds improved left ventricular systolic functions (ejection fraction: vehicle, 34.7 ± 3.9%; 100 mg/kg celecoxib, 50.3 ± 1.1%, p
