Abstract
A novel and concise approach to rare 2,3,5-triamino-imidazole scaffolds via Ni-catalyzed coupling of alkylisocyanides and N,N′-diarylguanidines has been developed. This reaction features include mild conditions (thermal or visible light activation), a wide substrate scope, and high efficiency. The coupling proceeds through a NiII/NiIV catalytic cycle, involving two-electron aerobic oxidation and the sequential insertion of two isocyanide units into Ni−N bonds.Testing these compounds against pathogens of the ESKAPE panel showed their high activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration down to 0.38 μg/mL.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
