We have developed a novel method for the regioselective annulation of 2-nitrosopyridines with variably substituted alkynes under mild reaction conditions. This approach allows the annulation of alkynes with 2-nitrosopyridines under reagent- and catalyst-free reaction conditions. The developed method shows excellent functional group tolerance and provides easy access to N-oxide-imidazo[1,2-a]pyr...

Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2) is a recently identified member of the ATP-binding cassette family of cell surface transport proteins. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a series of newly synthesized 1,4-dihydropyridines and pyridines, designed as potent P-glycoprotein inhibitors, on BCRP-mediated drug efflux both in vitro and in vivo. The effects of 25 synthes...

Synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines over several solid supported catalysts has been investigated. Among these catalysts, ZnCl2 .SiO2 (silzic) showed excellent yields and short reaction times. The silzic catalyst could be recovered and reused in five reaction cycles. The present procedure offers several advantages such as short reaction time, simplicity of the reaction procedure, the eliminatio...
