- Novel [(3-indolylmethylene)hydrazono]indolin-2-ones as apoptotic anti-proliferative agents: design, synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation
-
On account of their significance as apoptosis inducing agents, merging indole and 3-hydrazinoindolin-2-one scaffolds is a logic tactic for designing pro-apoptotic agents. Consequently, 27 hybrids (6a–r, 9a–f and 11a–c) were synthesised and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against MCF-7, HepG-2 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. SAR studies unravelled that N-propylindole derivatives were the most active compounds such as 6n (MCF-7; IC50=1.04 μM), which displayed a significant decrease of cell population in the G2/M phase and significant increase in the early and late apoptosis by 19-folds in Annexin-V-FTIC assay. Also, 6n increased the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, cytochrome C and Bax and decreased the expression of Bcl-2. Moreover, compounds 6i, 6j, 6n and 6q generated ROS by significant increase in the level of SOD and depletion of the levels of CAT and GSH-Px in MCF-7.

- Iodine-catalyzed C3-formylation of indoles using hexamethylenetetramine and air
-
An efficient iodine-catalyzed chemoselective 3-formylation of free (N–H) and N-substituted indoles was achieved by using hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) in the presence of activated carbon under air atmosphere. This new method could provide 3-formylindoles in moderate to excellent yields with fairly short reaction times. Moreover, this catalytic formylation of indoles procedure can be applied to gram-scale synthesis.

- Solid-liquid phase alkylation of n-heterocycles: Microwave-assisted synthesis as an environmentally friendly alternative
-
The solid-liquid phase alkylation of a variety of five-membered N-heterocycles (carbazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, and indole-3-carbaldehyde) was carried out under different conditions. The use of alkali carbonate in dimethylformamide or in MeCN (in the latter case, in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst) is a suitable method to prepare the corresponding N-alkylated products in an efficient way. In most cases, the solventless, microwave-assisted reaction is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional methods. Copyrigh

- Synthesis, crystal structures, and spectral properties of double N-alkylated dimethine cyanine dyes and their interactions with biomolecules and living cells
-
Six new double N-alkylated dimethine cyanine dyes were synthesized and the crystal structures of two of the dyes were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The investigation of the spectral properties of the dyes in different solvents indicated that the absorption maxima of the dyes decreased with the increase of the basicity of the heterocyclic nucleus, and the increase of the solvent dielectric constants of the protonic solvents and non-protonic solvents. The six dyes all emitted fluorescence, and had a larger Stokes shift in water. The interaction between the dye molecules and the six biological molecules showed that one dye exhibited a larger enhancement of fluorescent quantum yield in the presence of DNA. Investigation of the cytotoxicity and cell staining of the selected dye showed that the dye had virtually no toxicity at the application dose and duration used and that it could stain cytoplasm, suggesting its potential application as a fluorescent reagent with which to observe and analyze the characteristics of living cells.

- Synthesis of indolo[4,3-bc]phenanthridine-6,11(2H,12H)-diones using the schiff base–homophthalic anhydride cyclization reaction
-
A novel indolophenanthridine ring system has been synthesized via the Schiff base–homophthalic anhydride cyclization followed by thionyl chloride–mediated dehydrogenation and intramolecular Friedel–Crafts acylation. This adds to the array of heterocyclic systems that are available through the cycloaddition reaction of imines with cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides. The cytotoxicities of the indolophenanthridines were investigated in human cancer cell cultures, and the results documented significant antitumor activity in a variety of human cancer cell lines. This provides a new heterocyclic scaffold for anticancer drug design.

- Novel indole-thiazolidinone conjugates: Design, synthesis and whole-cell phenotypic evaluation as a novel class of antimicrobial agents
-
In connection with our research program on the development of novel anti-tubercular candidates, herein we report the design and synthesis of two different sets of indole-thiazolidinone conjugates (8a,b; 11a-d) and (14a-k; 15a-h). The target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against selected human pathogens viz. Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positiveve), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli (Gram negative), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Acid-fast bacteria), Aspergillus fumigates and Candida albicans (fungi). Moreover, eukaryotic cell-toxicity was tested via an integrated ex vivo drug screening model in order to evaluate the selective therapeutic index (SI) towards antimicrobial activity when microbes are growing inside primary immune cells. Also, the cytotoxicity towards a panel of cancer cell lines and human lung fibroblast normal cell line, WI-38 cells, was explored to assure their safety. Compound 15b emerged as a hit in this study with potent broad spectrum antibacterial (MIC: 0.39–0.98 μg/mL) and antifungal (MIC: 0.49–0.98 μg/mL) activities, in addition to its ability to kill mycobacteria M. aurum inside an infected macrophage model with good therapeutic window. Moreover, compound 15b displayed promising activity towards resistant bacteria strains MRSA and VRE with MIC values equal 3.90 and 7.81 μg/mL, respectively. These results suggest compound 15b as a new therapeutic lead with good selectivity for further optimization and development.

- Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of new thiosemicarbazones and thiazolidinones in indole series
-
Abstract: New thiosemicarbazones were synthesized in excellent yield reaction of indole derivatives with thiosemicarbazides. These thiosemicarbazones were reacted with ethyl bromoacetate to produce original heterocyclic-substituted indole derivatives possessing a 4-oxo-thiazolidine group. Analytical IR and NMR spectra and elemental analysis were performed to reveal their structures. The antimicrobial activity of all synthesized compounds was evaluated for antibacterial activity in vitro against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Antibacterial screening data showed that two compounds demonstrated activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These preliminary results indicate that some of these newly synthesized compounds show a promising antibacterial potency. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Molecular iodine mediated oxidative cleavage of the C-N bond of aryl and heteroaryl (dimethylamino)methyl groups into aldehydes
-
The oxidative cleavage of the C-N bond of aryl and heteroaryl (dimethylamino)methyl groups is achieved by employing molecular iodine as a mild oxidizing agent under ambient conditions in the presence of a mild base. The important reaction of C3 formylation of free NH and substituted indoles containing various substituents is accomplished from the corresponding Mannich bases. This methodology can also be extended for the synthesis of aryl and other heteroaryl aldehydes and ketones. Furthermore, the usefulness of the method is successfully demonstrated on a gram scale.

-
A straightforward RhIII-catalyzed strategy was developed for the site-selective C4-alkylation and C2-annulation of indole by using electronically variable diazo esters. The transformation was accomplished with the assist of an oxime directing group at the C3 position of the indole core with wide scope and functional-group tolerance. The method directly provided an indolopyridone core. The selectivity was triggered by the reactivity of the diazo coupling partner.

- Identification of low micromolar dual inhibitors for aldose reductase (ALR2) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) using structure based design approach
-
Clinical studies have revealed that diabetic retinopathy is a multifactorial disorder. Moreover, studies also suggest that ALR2 and PARP-1 co-occur in retinal cells, making them appropriate targets for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. To find the dual inhibitors of ALR2 and PARP-1, the structure based design was carried out in parallel for both the target proteins. A series of novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD) derivatives were therefore rationally designed, synthesized and their in vitro inhibitory activities against ALR2 and PARP-1 were evaluated. The experimental results showed that compounds 5b and 5f, with 2-chloro and 4-fluoro substitutions, showed biochemical activities in micromolar and submicromolar range (IC50 1.34–5.03?μM) against both the targeted enzymes. The structure-activity relationship elucidated for these novel inhibitors against both the enzymes provide new insight into the binding mode of the inhibitors to the active sites of enzymes. The positive results of the biochemical assay suggest that these compounds may be further optimized and utilized for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.

- New hexamethine indothia-cyanines: Synthesis and photophysical properties as well as both antitumor activity and imaging
-
Six new hexamethine indothia-cyanines were successfully synthesized by integrating a benzothiazole or naphthothiazole and indole unit using isophorone. These cyanines exhibited strong absorption and near-infrared fluorescence with a large stokes shift, and showed excellent stability. And they were tested as novel anticancer agents in vitro against human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), and indothia-cyanine D1 could efficiently reduce MCF-7 viability and exhibited no toxicity against normal human immortalized epidermal cells (Hacat). Cyanine D1 was further studied for its antitumor activity in mice. The in vivo result indicated that D1 could significantly inhibit the growth of breast tumors from tumor-bearing mice, and had no effect on the normal functions of the vital organs in vivo. In addition, D1 could stain MCF-7 cells and emitted bright red fluorescence, being a potential functional agent with both imaging and antitumor activity.

- Cobalt-Catalyzed Enantioselective C–H Arylation of Indoles
-
Atropoisomeric (hetero)biaryls are scaffolds with increasing importance in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Although it is the most obvious disconnection to construct such compounds, the direct enantioselective C–H arylation through the concomitant induction of the chiral information remains extremely challenging and uncommon. Herein, the unprecedented earth-abundant 3d-metal-catalyzed atroposelective direct arylation is reported, furnishing rare atropoisomeric C2-arylated indoles. Kinetic studies and DFT computation revealed an uncommon mechanism for this asymmetric transformation, with the oxidative addition being the rate- and enantio-determining step. Excellent stereoselectivities were reached (up to 96% ee), while using an unusual N-heterocyclic carbene ligand bearing an essential remote substituent. Attractive dispersion interactions along with positive C–H-π interactions exerted by the ligand were identified as key factors to guarantee the excellent enantioselection.

- Effect of N-benzyl group in indole scaffold of thiosemicarbazones on the biological activity of their Pd(II) complexes: DFT, biomolecular interactions, in silico docking, ADME and cytotoxicity studies
-
A series of N-benzyl substituted indole-based thiosemicarbazone (TSC) ligands (L4-L6) and palladium(II) TSC complexes, [Pd(L)2] (1–6) (L = monoanionic bidentate un/N-substituted indole-based TSC ligand) have been synthesized and characterized using analytical and spectroscopic tools. The exact molecular structures of L4-L6 and the complexes (2–4 and 6) were ascertained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Spectroscopic and crystallographic studies indicated that Pd(II) ion was coordinated with TSCs as monobasic bidentate ligands, forming two five-membered rings with square planar geometry. The effect of N-benzyl substitution in indole scaffold of TSCs in the complexes was studied using DFT method, and structure–activity relationships (SAR) were explored. The in silico ADME properties of the ligands and their complexes were thoroughly analyzed with respect to their lipophilicity and oral bioavailability. The complexes (1–6) exhibited strong intercalation with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA), which was examined by absorption/emission spectroscopic titrations and viscosity measurements. Similarly, the interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with complexes examined using spectroscopic methods showed a strong binding between them. A better picture of various possible interactions was acquired from the molecular docking of the complexes with the targets like DNA, BSA, DNA Topoisomerase II and CASP3. In addition, in vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes was screened against two cancer (HeLa-S3 and A549) and one normal (IMR-90) cell lines. It was learnt that the N-benzyl substitution in the indole system inactivated the whole molecule by diminishing its anticancer activity. The unsubstituted indole TSC complex (2) displayed significant activity towards HeLa-S3 cells, and the results were compared with those of cisplatin. Beneficially, the active complex showed less toxicity against IMR-90 normal cells. Further, the results of AO-EB staining studies indicated that the complexes induced cell death via apoptosis pathway. The steric influence of the substituted indole moiety, its limited electronic effects and lesser stability in aqueous systems retarded the Pd(II) complexes of N-benzyl substituted indole TSCs from exhibiting their biological activities.

- Synthesis of Indole/Benzofuran-Containing Diarylmethanes through Palladium-Catalyzed Reaction of Indolylmethyl or Benzofuranylmethyl Acetates with Boronic Acids
-
The palladium-catalyzed synthesis of indole/benzofurancontaining diarylmethanes starting from indolylmethyl or benzofuranylmethyl acetates with boronic acids has been investigated. The success of the reaction is influenced by the choice of precatalyst: with indolylmethyl acetates the reaction works well with [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl]2/XPhos while with benzofuranylmethyl acetates Pd2(dba)3/XPhos is more efficient. The good to high yields and the simplicity of the experimental procedure make this protocol a versatile synthetic tool for the preparation of 2- and 3-substituted indoles and 2-benzo[b]furans. The methodology can be advantageously extended to the preparation of a key precursor of Zafirlukast.

- Synthesis, in silico studies, and evaluation of syn and anti isomers of n-substituted indole-3-carbaldehyde oxime derivatives as urease inhibitors against helicobacter pylori
-
Gastrointestinal tract infection caused by Helicobacter pylori is a common virulent disease found worldwide, and the infection rate is much higher in developing countries than in developed ones. In the pathogenesis of H. pylori in the gastrointestinal tract, the secretion of the urease enzyme plays a major role. Therefore, inhibition of urease is a better approach against H. pylori infection. In the present study, a series of syn and anti isomers of N-substituted indole-3-carbaldehyde oxime derivatives was synthesized via Schiff base reaction of appropriate carbaldehyde derivatives with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The in vitro urease inhibitory activities of those derivatives were evaluated against that of Macrotyloma uniflorum urease using the modified Berthelot reaction. Out of the tested compounds, compound 8 (IC50 = 0.0516 ± 0.0035 mM) and compound 9 (IC50 = 0.0345 ± 0.0008 mM) were identified as the derivatives with potent urease inhibitory activity with compared to thiourea (IC50 = 0.2387 ± 0.0048 mM). Additionally, in silico studies for all oxime compounds were performed to investigate the binding interactions with the active site of the urease enzyme compared to thiourea. Furthermore, the drug-likeness of the synthesized oxime compounds was also predicted.

In this study, fourteen novel indole-pyrimidine hybrids were designed and synthesized. Their chemical structures were confirmed using different spectroscopic techniques (1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and mass). Their (E) stereochemical configuration was determined theoretically (MM2 property) and experimentally using 2D NMR technique (NOESY experiment). The prepared compounds were subjected to preliminary biological studies as Mcl-1 inhibitors. Most of the compounds exhibited good abilities for targeting Mcl-1 protein, especially, 7d, 7e, 7i and 7k (Ki = 11.19–15.21 nM). These derivatives were further evaluated against Bcl-XL and Bcl-2 proteins. Some compounds were found to have dual Mcl-1/Bcl-XL such as 7i, or Bcl-XL/Bcl-2 inhibitory activity as 7d. The most potent derivatives as Mcl-1 inhibitors were chosen as representative examples for determination of in-vitro anti-proliferative activity against PC-3, K-562 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. They possessed excellent to good anti-proliferative activities. All of the synthesized compounds were docked into Mcl-1 active site. Drug-likeness properties and in silico pre-ADMET characters were also predicted.

A safe, practical and eco-friendly electrochemical methodology for the synthesis of 3-formylated indoles has been developed by the utilization of Me3N as a novel formylating reagent. Stoichiometric oxidants, metal catalysts, and activating agents were avoided in this method, and an aqueous biphasic system ofn-Bu4NBF4/PEG-400/H2O was used as a recyclable and reusable reaction medium, which made this electrosynthesis approach more sustainable and environmentally friendly. This process expanded the substrate scope and functional group tolerance for bothN-EDG andN-EWG indoles. Furthermore, late-stage functionalization and total/formal synthesis of drugs and natural products were realized by means of this route.

- Development of Novel Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Inhibitors to Treat Hair Loss
-
Herein, we report the synthesis and evaluation of novel analogues of UK-5099 both in vitro and in vivo for the development of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitors to treat hair loss. A comprehensive understanding of the structure-activity relationship was obtained by varying four positions of the hit compound, namely, the alkyl group on the N1 position, substituents on the indole core, various aromatic and heteroaromatic core structures, and various Michael acceptors. The major discovery was that the inhibitors with a 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl group at the N1 position were shown to have much better activity than JXL001 (UK-5099) to increase cellular lactate production. Additionally, analogue JXL069, possessing a 7-azaindole heterocycle, was also shown to have significant MPC inhibition activity, which further increases the chemical space for drug design. Finally, more than 10 analogues were tested on shaved mice by topical treatment and promoted obvious hair growth on mice.

- Discovery and synthesis of novel indole derivatives-containing 3-methylenedihydrofuran-2(3H)-one as irreversible LSD1 inhibitors
-
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), demethylase against mono- and di - methylated histone3 lysine 4, has emerged as a promising target in oncology. More specifically, it has been demonstrated as a key promoter in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and several LSD1 inhibitors have already entered into clinical trials for the treatment of AML. In this paper, a series of new indole derivatives were designed and synthesized based on a lead compound obtained by a high-throughput screening with our in-house compound library. Among the synthetic compounds, 9e was characterized as a potent LSD1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.230 μM and can inhibit the proliferation of THP-1 cells effectively. And most importantly, this is the first irreversible LSD1 inhibitor that is not derived from monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Hence, the discovery of 9e may serve as a proof of concept work for AML treatment.

- Electrochemically Enabled C3-Formylation and -Acylation of Indoles with Aldehydes
-
Reported herein is an effective strategy for oxidative cross-coupling of indoles with various aldehydes. The strategy is based on a two-step transformation via a well-known Mannich-type reaction and a C-N bond cleavage for carbonyl introduction. The key step - the C-N bond cleavage of the Mannich product - was enabled by electrochemistry. This strategy (with over 40 examples) ensures excellent functional-group tolerance as well as late-stage functionalization of pharmaceutical molecules.

- A concise synthesis of cyclobrassinin and its analogues via a thiyl radical aromatic substitution
-
A simple and concise approach for the synthesis of cyclobrassinin has been developed through a thiyl radical-mediated intramolecular aromatic substitution, with benzoyl peroxide as an efficient initiator and oxidant. The current method can also be utilized in the synthesis of 6 and 7-membered ring cyclobrassinin analogues in moderate to good yields. The transformation involves a formal radical 6 and 7-endo-trig cyclization of the corresponding dithiocarbamate derivatives, which were generated from indole-3-methanamines and tryptophan.

- Visible Light-Driven C-3 Functionalization of Indoles over Conjugated Microporous Polymers
-
Metal-free and heterogeneous organic photocatalysts provide an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional metal-based catalysts. This paper reports a series of carbazole-based conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with tunable redox potentials and explores their photocatalytic performance with regard to C-3 formylation and thiocyanation of indoles. Conjugated polymers were synthesized through FeCl3 mediated Friedel-Crafts reactions, and their redox potentials were well regulated by simply altering the nature of the core (i.e., 1,4-dibenzyl, 1,3,5-tribenzyl, or 1,3,5-triazin-2,4,6-triyl). The resulting CMPs exhibited high surface areas, visible light absorptions, and tunable semiconductor-range band gaps. With the highest oxidative capability, CMP-CSU6 derived from 1,3,5-tri(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzene showed the highest efficiency for C-3 formylation and thiocyanation of indoles at room temperature. Notably, the as-made catalysts can be easily recovered with good retention of photocatalytic activity and reused at least five times, suggesting good recyclability. These results are significant for constructing high-performance porous polymer catalysts with tunable photoredox potentials targeting an efficient material design for catalysis.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of matrine derivatives as potential anticancer agents
-
Using matrine (1) as the lead compound, a series of new 14-(N-substituted-2-pyrrolemethylene) matrine and 14-(N-substituted-indolemethylene) matrine derivatives was designed and synthesized for their potential application as anticancer agents. The structure of these compounds was characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS spectral analyses. The target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines (SMMC-7721, A549 and CNE2). The results revealed that compound A6 and B21 displayed the most significant anticancer activity against three cancer cell lines with IC50 values in range of 3.42–8.05 μM, which showed better activity than the parent compound (Matrine) and positive control Cisplatin. Furthermore, the Annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining assay revealed that compound A6 and B21 could significantly induce the apoptosis of SMMC-7721 and CNE2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The cell cycle analysis also revealed that compound A6 could cause cell cycle arrest of SMMC-7721 and CNE2 cells at G2/M phase.

- Structure-based design of new poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) inhibitors
-
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) is a well-established nuclear protein with prominent role in signaling and DNA repair. Various clinical candidates have been identified with the role in PARP-1 inhibition. Based on the pharmacophoric features identified from previous studies and molecular docking interactions, thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives have been evaluated for their PARP inhibitory activity. From an in vitro assay, 5-((1-(4-isopropylbenzyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (16) was identified as a potent inhibitor having low micromolar inhibitory activity (IC50=0.74±0.25μM). Thus, a structure-based design approach utilized in the present study helped to identify thiazolidine-2,4-dione as a novel scaffold against PARP-1 for potential development of potent anticancer therapeutics.

A series of novel 3-indolylpropyl derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their binding affinities at the serotonin-1A receptor subtype (5-HT1AR) and the 5-HT transporter (SERT). Compounds 11b and 14b exhibited the highest affinities at the 5-HT1AR (Ki = 43 and 56 nM), whereas compounds 11c and 14a were the most potent analogs at the SERT (Ki = 34 and 17 nM). On the other hand, compounds 14b and 11d showed potent activity at both targets, displaying a profile that makes them promising leads for the search for novel potent ligands with a dual mechanism of action. Molecular docking studies in all the compounds unveiled relevant drug–target interactions, which allowed rationalizing the observed affinities.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of curcumin inspired indole analogues as tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
In our endeavour towards the development of potent cytotoxic agents, a series of some new curcumin inspired indole analogues, in which indole and phenyl moieties are linked on either sides of 1,5-diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one system have been synthesized and characterized by spectral data. All the newly synthesized analogues were tested for their cytotoxic potential against a panel of eight cancer cell lines namely, lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231, BT549 and 4T1), prostate (PC-3, DU145), gastric (HGC-27) and cervical (HeLa). Notably, among all the compounds tested, compounds 11c, 11d and 11f showed potent growth inhibition on PC-3 and BT549 with IC50values in the range of 3.12–6.34?μM and 4.69–8.72?μM respectively. The most active compound (11c) was also tested on RWPE-1 (normal prostate) cells and was found to be safe compared to the PC-3?cells. In tubulin polymerization assay, compounds 11c and 11f effectively inhibited microtubule assembly with IC50values of 10.21?±?0.10 and 8.83?±?0.06?μM respectively. The results from molecular modelling studies revealed that these compounds bind at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin. Moreover, DAPI and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining studies indicated that compounds 11c and 11f can induce apoptosis in PC-3?cells. Further flow-cytometry analysis revealed that compound 11c arrests PC-3?cells in G2/M phase of the cell cycle while compound 11f treatment resulted in moderate increase in the G2/M population. Additionally, the treatment by these compounds led to the impairment of mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) in PC-3?cells.

- Arylthiosemicarbazones as antileishmanial agents
-
Based on a screening process, we targeted substituted thiosemicarbazone as potential antileishmanial agents. Our objective was to identify the key structural elements contributing to the anti-parasite activity that might be used for development of effective drugs. A series of 32 compounds was synthesized and their efficacy was evaluated against the clinically relevant intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania donovani. From these, 22 compounds showed EC50values below 10?μM with the most active derivative (compound 14) showing an EC50of 0.8?μM with very low toxicity on two different mammalian cell lines. The most relevant structural elements required for higher activity indicate that the presence of a fused bicyclic aromatic ring such as a naphthalene bearing an alkyl or an alkoxy group substituent are prerequisites. Owing to the easy synthesis, high activity and low toxicity, the most active compounds could be considered as a lead for further development.

- Discovery of novel peptidomimetics as irreversible CHIKV NsP2 protease inhibitors using quantum mechanical-based ligand descriptors
-
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus. Recent outbreaks of CHIKV infections have been reported in Asia, Africa, and Europe. The symptoms of CHIKV infection include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, myalgia, rash, and chronic persistent arthralgia. To date, no vaccines or selective antiviral drugs against this important emerging virus have been reported. In this study, the design, synthesis, and antiviral activity screening of new topographical peptidomimetics revealed three potential prototype agents 3a, 4b, and 5d showing 93-100% maximum inhibition of CHIKV replication in cell-based assay having EC90 of 8.76-9.57 μg/mL. Intensive molecular modeling studies including covalent docking, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies, and the atomic condensed Fukui functions calculations strongly suggested the covalent binding of peptidomimetics 3a, 4b, and 5d to CHIKV nsP2 protease leading to permanent enzyme inactivation via Michael adduct formation between α/β-unsaturated ketone functionality in our designed peptidomimetics and active site catalytic cysteine1013. Furthermore, small molecular weight peptidomimetics 3a and 4b satisfied the Lipinski rule of five for drug-likeness and showed promising intestinal absorption and aqueous solubility via computational admet studies making them promising hits for further optimization. Covalent docking of the inhibitor 3a with the nsP2 enzyme showing the proposed Michael adduct formed between inhibitors 3a and the side chain of catalytic Cysteine1013.

- B-ring modified aurones as promising allosteric inhibitors of hepatitis C virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
-
Following our recent report showing the potential of naturally occurring aurones (2-benzylidenebenzofuran-3(2H)-ones) as anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agents, efforts were continued in order to refine the structural requirements for the inhibitory effect on HCV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). In this study, we targeted the B-ring moiety of aurones with the aim to improve structural features associated with higher inhibition of the targeted polymerase. In vitro evaluation of the RdRp inhibitory activity of the 37 newly synthesized compounds pointed out that the replacement of the B-ring with an N-substituted indole moiety induced the highest inhibitory effect. Of these, compounds 31, 40 and 41 were found to be the most active (IC50 = 2.3-2.4 μM). Docking experiments performed with the most active compounds revealed that the allosteric thumb pocket I of RdRp is the binding pocket for aurone analogues.

-
A new series of pyrano chalcone derivatives containing indole moiety (3-42, 49a-49r) were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities. Among all the compounds, compound 49b with a propionyloxy group at the 4-position of the left phenyl ring and N-methyl-5-indoly on the right ring displayed the most potent cytotoxic activity against all tested cancer cell lines including multidrug resistant phenotype, which inhibits cancer cell growth with IC50 values ranging from 0.22 to 1.80 μM. Furthermore, 49b significantly induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and inhibited the polymerization of tubulin. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated the interaction of 49b at the colchicine binding site of tubulin. In experiments in vivo, 49b exerted potent anticancer activity in HepG2 human liver carcinoma in BALB/c nude mice. These results indicated these compounds are promising inhibitors of tubulin polymerization for the potential treatment of cancer.

- Identification of novel thiadiazoloacrylamide analogues as inhibitors of dengue-2 virus NS2B/NS3 protease
-
Dengue virus is endemic throughout tropical and subtropical regions, and cause severe epidemic diseases. The NS2B/NS3 protease is a promising drug target for dengue virus. Herein, we report the discovery and modification of a novel class of thiadiazoloacrylamide derivatives with potent inhibitory activity against the NS2B/NS3 protease. Thiadiazolopyrimidinone 1 was firstly determined as a new chemical structure against NS2B/NS3 from a commercial compound library. Then, we sought to identify similar compounds with the thiadiazoloacrylamide core that would exhibit better activity. A series of analogues were synthesized and fourteen of them were identified with strong inhibitory activities, in which the nitrile group in the linker part was discovered as an essential group for the inhibitory activity. The best of these (8b) demonstrated an IC50 at 2.24 μM based on in vitro DENV2 NS2B-NS3pro assays.
