This article presents the synthesis of new derivatives of spirooxindole-spiropiperidinone- pyrrolidines 6a-j and spirooxindole-spiropiperidinone-pyrrolizines 8a-j, through a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethineylides generated from isatin, sarcosine, and l-proline, through a decarboxylative route with dipolarophile 4a-j. All of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for thei...

The privileged spiro[pyrrolidin-3,3'-oxindole] derivatives exhibit important biological activities. An enantioselective organocatalytic approach to the rapid synthesis of spiro[pyrrolidin-3,3'-oxindole] derivatives with high enantiopurity and structural diversity is described. The asymmetric catalytic three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a broad range of methyleneindolinones with aldehy...

An efficient and sustainable method was developed for electrocatalytic multicomponent synthesis of  spirooxindole-chromene  derivatives via  a  green  one-pot,  three  component  condensations  of cyclic-1,3-diones,   malononitrile  and   isatins   inside  an  undivided  cell  where  potassium  bromide was applied as electrolyte in ethanol/DMSO (95/5 v/v) media, and a practical Fe-Mn-O composit...

A mild and practical synthesis of spirooxindole [1,3]oxazino derivatives from N-substituted isatins and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with pyridine derivatives is reported. The reactions provided good to excellent yields. Further exploration of the molecular diversity of these compounds is demonstrated through Diels-Alder reactions.

Melanoma is generally refractory to current chemotherapy, thus new treatment strategies are needed. In this study, we synthesized a series of spirooxindole derivatives (SOID-1 to SOID-12) and evaluated their antitumor effects on melanoma. Among the 12 spirooxindole derivatives, SOID-8 showed the strongest antitumor activity by viability screening. SOID-8 inhibited viability of A2058, A375, SK-M...

The Pd-catalyzed intramolecular alpha-arylation of amides is applied to the synthesis of functionalized spirooxindoles. The substrate scope is evaluated, and the reaction is demonstrated to be useful for the assembly of spirooxindole natural products and derivatives thereof. As an application, a new synthesis of horsfiline 1 is presented, giving the natural product in only 4 steps from commerci...

chiral pyrrolidines and pyrrolizidines with spirooxindole ring systems are the central skeletons for numerous alkaloids and pharmacologically important compounds. gelesmine, pseudotabersonine, formosanine, isoformosanine, morroniside and mitraphylline are some of the alkaloids containing spirooxindole ring systems. derivatives of spirooxindole find very wide biological applications as anti micr...

The enantioselective preparation of pharmacologically interesting chroman-fused spirooxindole derivatives is described based on an organocatalytic multicomponent cascade reaction. The compounds synthesized using this method potently inhibited the proliferation of various cancer cell lines. The most potent compound (7e) induced caspase-independent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 breast ...
