Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and impaired cognitive functions. Fascaplysin is a β-carboline alkaloid isolated from marine sponge Fascaplysinopsis bergquist in 1988. Previous studies have shown that fascaplysin might act on acetylcholinesterase and β-amyloid (Aβ) to produce anti-AD properties. In this study, a series of fascaplysin derivatives were synthesized. The cholinesterase inhibition activities, the neuronal protective effects, and the toxicities of these compounds were evaluated in vitro. Compounds 2a and 2b, the two most powerful compounds in vitro, were further selected to evaluate their cognitive-enhancing effects in animals. Both 2a and 2b could ameliorate cognitive dysfunction induced by scopolamine or Aβ oligomers without affecting locomotor functions in mice. We also found that 2a and 2b could prevent cholinergic dysfunctions, decrease pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and inhibit Aβ-induced tau hyperphosphorylation in vivo. Most importantly, pharmacodynamics studies suggested that 2b could penetrate the blood-brain barrier and be retained in the central nervous system. All these results suggested that fascaplysin derivatives are potent multitarget agents against AD and might be clinical useful for AD treatment.

Phosphane-free Pd0-catalyzed intramolecular aromatic amination was studied. o-Halophenethylamines and 3-(o-halophenyl)propylamines were found to be transformed into indolines and quinolines in a catalytic system based on Pd(OAc)2 and Cu(OAc)2 in the presence of K 2CO3. Application of the method to substrates containing isoquinoline rings- the 1-(o-bromobenzyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines 6, the 1-(o-bromobenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines 7, and the 1-(o-bromophenethyl)isoquinolines 9- provided the indolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline and dibenzo[a,f]quinolizine ring systems 8 and 10. Extension of the method to β-carbolines (compounds 11, 12, and 17) produced the benz[f]indolo[2,3-a] indolizine-13-ones 15 and the benz[f]indolo[2,3-a]quinolizine 18. The benzo[f]pyrido[3,4-a]indolizine and indolo[f]pyrido[3,4-a]indolizin-12-one ring systems 27 and 31 were built in a similar manner. It was also found that under an atmosphere of CO the same catalytic system produced the corresponding benzolactams, the isoquino[2,1-a][2,7]naphthyridine 34 and the indolo[2,3-a]pyrido[g]quinolizin-8-one 36 [(±)-dihydronauclefine] in good yields.
