ABSTRACT
We report an efficient copper-catalyzed dehydrogenation method for the synthesis of aroyl triazines from arylmethyl triazines with water in the absence of additional oxidants or hydrogen acceptors. The use of substrates with both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups resulted in moderate to good yields. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, 18O-labeled-water reactions and hydrogen capture experiments confirmed that water was the only oxygen donor and hydrogen was the by-product. This oxidation strategy provides a new approach for the synthesis of aroyl triazines with a broad substrate scope.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant disease of the hematopoietic system with crucial pathogenic protein named BCR-ABL, which endangers the life of patients severely. As a milestone of targeted drug, Imatinib has achieved great success in the treatment of CML. Nevertheless, inevitable drug resistance of Imatinib has occurred frequently in clinical due to the several mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase. Subsequently, the second-generation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) against BCR-ABL was developed to address the mutants of Imatinib resistance, except T315I. To date, the third-generation of TKIs targeting T315I has been developed for improving the selectivity and safety. Notably, the first allosteric inhibitor has been in market which could overcome the mutations in ATP binding site effectively. Meanwhile, some advanced technology, such as proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTAC) based on different E3 ligand, are highly expected to overcome the drug resistance by selectively degrading the targeted proteins. In this review, we summarized the current research progress of inhibitors and degraders targeting BCR-ABL for the treatment of CML.

A facile CuBr2 induced radical relay addition/cyclization of activated alkenes with substituted-thiosulfonates has been achieved, leading to a broad range of sulfonated indolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines and benzimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones in moderate to good yields. In particular, some compounds exhibit bioactivity against cancer cell lines. This protocol shows advantages of low-cost, base-free, simple operation, and broad functional group tolerance.
