Methuosis is a form of nonapoptotic cell death characterized by an accumulation of macropinosome-derived vacuoles with eventual loss of membrane integrity. Small molecules inducing methuosis could offer significant advantages compared to more traditional anticancer drug therapies that typically rely on apoptosis. Herein we further define the effects of chemical substitutions at the 2- and 5-ind...

A C3-symmetric phosphine with indolyl substituents has been synthesized that demonstrates the capability to bind anions through the indole NH sites and coordinate metal centres through the phosphorus centre.

N-Indolyl or N-benzofuranyl indoles and benzimidazoles were prepared through metal-catalyzed tandem reactions between 2-alkynyl cyclohexadienimines or cyclohexadienones and 2-alkynylanilines or N(1)-benzylbenzene-1,2-diamine.

1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride {[cmmim]cl} is utilized as a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes by the condensation reaction of indole with arylaldehydes under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. in summary, the presented method have several advantages including simplicity, low cost, generality, efficiency, clean reaction profi...

ammonium monovanadate (nh4vo3) has been devoted as an efficient, commercially available, eco-friendly and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes (bims), oxindole derivatives and also michael adducts of indoles at 50 °c under solvent-free conditions. the reusability of this solid acid catalyst in addition with its selectivity has also been examined.

The synthesis and reactivity of indole derivatives substituted in the benzene section was studied. Starting materials 4- and 6-iodoindole were conveniently prepared via the Batcho-Leimgruber route and purified by sublimation. Novel vicinally indolyl-substituted cyclopentanols with unexpected cis-configuration were formed by SmI2-mediated reductive dimerization of a 4-(indol-6-yl)butenone, obtai...

INTRODUCTION The lacZ gene is frequently fused to heterologous promoters to reveal the expression of endogenous genes in transgenic mice (Bonnerot and Nicolas, 1993; Goring et al., 1987) and in the detection of genetic recombination events in cell fate mapping experiments (Joyner and Zervas, 2006; Petit et al., 2005; Watson et al., 2008). The most popular substrate for the detection of galacto...

An efficient and convenient protocol for synthesis of 3-hydroxy-3-indolyl-2-oxindoles and 3,3-diindolyl-2-oxindoles is presented here. The syntheses were achieved selectively under catalysis of LiClO4 whereby the products were obtained purely.
