Most recent results found in the literature concerning anthranilamides II and derivatives are as follows. It is well known that the parent compound of II occurs in nature, and an additional source was found recently, as II (R=Rt=Rtt=H) was isolated from Streptomyces sp.6 Concerning the biological activities, derivatives of II have been described recently as substrates for the antibacterial target undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase,7 as modulators of the expression of micro RNAs in neuroblastoma cells, which cause cell cycle arrest and apoptosis,8 as inhibitors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections9 and of SIRT, 10 and of neuronal ion channels. 11 Syntheses and structure-activity relationships of orally active anthranilamide-based factor Xa inhibitors have been studied as well.12 Apart from their biological significance, anthranilamides II are versatile starting materials for further chemical transformations. Recent reports deal with palladium-catalyzed one-pot ring-closure reactions of anthranilamides with tert-butyl isocyanide to quinazolinones13 (which are also of great biological interest), ruthenium-catalyzed amide-directed Car-N activation/C-C coupling reactions with organoboronates under cleavage of the Car-N bond,14 and intramolecular oxidative aryl-aryl couplings by hypervalent-iodine-mediated rearrangements. 15
