A transition metal-free protocol for the preparation of fluorescent and non-fluoresent 3-methylthio-4-arylmaleimides in a single step through a new rearrangement from thiazolidine-2,4-diones is described. By employing the optimized reaction conditions, a broad scope of derivatives was prepared in ≤97% yield. The reaction tolerated several substituted aryl groups, including the challenging preparation of pyridyl-containing derivatives. A series of control experiments strongly suggested that the new rearrangement involves a key isocyanate intermediate and a further reaction with in situ-generated methylthiomethyl acetate. The photophysical properties of some of the synthesized derivatives as well as their use in live cell imaging were also investigated, revealing that some of the substituted maleimides are capable of selectively staining different regions of the cells.

Several findings propose the altered tau protein network as an important target for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Particularly, two points of pharmacological intervention can be envisaged: inhibition of phosphorylating tau kinase GSK-3β and tau aggregation process. On the basis of this consideration and on our interest in multitarget paradigms in AD, we report on the discovery of 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives endowed with such a profile. 28 and 30 displayed micromolar IC50 values toward GSK-3β, together with the capacity of inhibiting AcPHF6 aggregation of 60% and 80% at 10 μM, respectively. In addition, they showed PAMPA-BBB permeability, together with a suitable cellular safety profile. 30 also displayed inhibition of both K18 and full-length tau aggregations. Finally, both compounds were able to improve cell viability in an okadaic acid-induced neurodegeneration cell model. To the best of our knowledge, 28 and 30 are the first balanced, nontoxic, dual-acting compounds hitting tau cascade at two different hubs.

In our effort to obtain biologically active compounds, new 3,5-disubstituted 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4- diones (5a - r) were synthesized. A series of 5-arylmethylidene-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-diones (3a - r) were prepared by Knoevenagel reaction from 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione (2) and appropriate aromatic aldehydes. Condensation of 3a - r with 7-hydroxy-4-bromomethyl-2-oxo- 2H-chromene (1) afforded novel 3-(7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-ylmethyl)-5- arylidene-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-diones 5a - r. Compounds 3a - r and 5a - r were evaluated for their antioxidant activity (DPPH free radical scavenging activity).
