With the recent research advances in molecular biology and technology, many credible hypotheses about the progress of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been proposed, among which the amyloid and cholinergic hypotheses are commonly used to develop reliable therapeutic agents. The multitarget-directed ligand (MTDL) approach was taken in this work to develop multi-functional agents, which can mainly s...

A nickel (0)-catalyzed asymmetric [2 + 2 + 2] cocyclization has been realized for the first time. This reaction involves conceptually new enantiotopic group selective formation of a nickelacyclopentadiene intermediate and produces an isoindoline derivative (73% ee, 78% conv. yield) and an isoquinoline derivative (54% ee, 62% yield) having benzylic chiral carbon centers. The synthesizing methods...

We have developed a series of aminoacetylenic isoindoline-1,3-dione compounds and showed their anti-inflammatory activities by reducing carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and modulating proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. In the present study and due to efficacy reasons, we are exploring only two of these compounds, namely, ZM4 and ZM5, to reveal their analgesic activity and toxicit...

In the title compound, C(12)H(7)NO(5), the dihedral angle between the isoindole-1,3-dione plane and the least-squares plane of the furan ring is 89.2 (2)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers.

The oxolan-2-one ring in the title compound, C(12)H(9)NO(4), has an envelope conformation with the atom linking the two five-membered rings being the flap atom.

The title compound, C(14)H(4)Cl(4)FNO(2), has crystallographic twofold symmetry with the N and F atoms and two C atoms of the benzene ring located on a twofold rotation axis. The isoindole-dione ring system is almost planar [maximum atomic deviation = 0.036 (3) Å], and is twisted with respect to the florobenzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 58.56 (16)°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen ...

The title compound, C(19)H(12)N(2)O(3), has two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond in each mol-ecule. The mean planes of the naphthalene [maximum deviations = 0.024 (3) and 0.030 (3) Å in A and B, respectively] and the isoindoline units [maximum deviations 0.009 (3) and 0.008 (3) Å in A and B, respectively] are almostly copla...
