Naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-5,6-diones (NPDOs), a new type of N-heterocycle-fused o-quinones, have been synthesized. They have been found to be efficient electron-accepting substrates of NADPH-dependent single-electron-transferring P-450R and two-electron transferring NQO1, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) with a concomitant decrease in NADPH, which is consistent with redox-cycling. The reactivity of NPDOs toward P-450R (in terms of kcat/Km) varied in the range of 106-107 M-1 s-1, while their reduction by NQO1 proceeded much faster, approaching the diffusion control limit (kcat/Km ~ 108-109 M-1 s-1). NPDOs exhibited relatively high cytotoxic activity against human lung carcinoma (A-549) and breast tumor (MCF-7) cell lines (LC50 = 0.1-8.3 μM), while promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) were less sensitive to NPDOs (LC50 ≥ 10 μM). 3-Nitro-substituted NPDO (11) revealed the highest potency against both A-549 and MCF-7 cell lines, with LC50 of 0.12 ± 0.03 μM and 0.28 ± 0.08 μM, respectively. Dicoumarol partly suppressed the activity of the compounds against A-594 and MCF-7 cell lines, suggesting that their cytotoxic action might be partially influenced by NQO1-mediated bioreductive activation.

A facile synthesis of 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)acetonitriles via FeCl3-catalyzed site-selective C(sp2)-H alkylation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with diazoacetonitrile is presented. This new method features with an environmentally benign catalyst, easily obtainable substrates, and oxidant- and ligand-free reaction conditions. Moreover, the importance of the products thus obtained is showcased by their ready transformation into some synthetically and pharmaceutically interesting products with good efficiency.

Several benzophenazine dyes containing a diazobenzo[a]fluorene moiety have been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (CI MS). The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of these dyes were examined. These compounds were evaluated as potential light absorbing chromophores for free radical polymerization. The results are discussed on the basis of the free energy change for electron transfer from the diazobenzo[a]fluorene dyes to the electron donors/acceptors. The kinetic studies of the photoinitiated polymerization of trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) using electron donors, such as phenylthioacetic acid, phenoxyacetic acid, N-phenylglycine and ethyl 4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoate, and electron acceptors, such as 1-methoxy-4-phenylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate and 1-ethoxy-2- methylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate, have shown that these dyes are efficient photoinitiators for free radical polymerization in visible light. The heavy atoms present in the chemical structure may lead to excited triplet states within the dye facilitating electron transfer from these states.
