Discovery of anti-cancer activity for benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones: Very strong correlation to pleurotin and thioredoxin reductase inhibition
Sweeney, Martin; Coyle, Robert; Kavanagh, Paul; Berezin, Andrey A.; Lo Re, Daniele; Zissimou, Georgia A.; Koutentis, Panayiotis A.; Carty, Michael P.; Aldabbagh, Fawaz (Elsevier, 2016-05-30)The thioredoxin (Trx)-thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) system plays a key role in maintaining the cellular redox balance with Trx being over-expressed in a number of cancers. Inhibition of TrxR is an important strategy for ... -
One-pot hydrogen peroxide and hydrohalic acid induced ring closure and selective aromatic halogenation to give new ring-fused benzimidazoles
Gurry, Michael; Sweeney, Martin; McArdle, Patrick; Aldabbagh, Fawaz (American Chemical Society, 2015-05-19)A new series of selectively dichlorinated and dibrominated five- to eight-membered-ring [1,2-a]-fused benzimidazoles and [1,4]oxazino[4,3-a]benzimidazoles are synthesized in mostly high yields of >80% using the reaction ...
