- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 2,4-disubstituted quinazoline derivatives targeting H1975 cells via EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway
-
In order to find new and highly effective anti-tumor drugs with targeted therapeutic effects, a series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives containing N-phenylacetamide structure were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against four human cancer cell lines (H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803) using MTT assay. The results showed that the compound 19e had the most potent antiproliferative activity against H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803 cell lines. At the same time, compound 19e could significantly inhibit the colony formation and migration of H1975 cells. Compound 19e also arrested the H1975 cell cycle in the G1 phase and mediated cell apoptosis, promoted the accumulation of ROS in H1975 cells. Furthermore, compound 19e exerted antitumor effect in vitro by reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and increasing the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and p53. Mechanistically, compound 19e could significantly decreased the phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream protein PI3K in H1975 cells. Which indicated that compound 19e targeted H1975 cell via interfering with EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that compound 19e could bind into the active pocket of EGFR. Those work suggested that compound 19e would have remarkable implications for further design of anti-tumor agents.

- Thiosemicarbazone-based lead optimization to discover high-efficiency and low-toxicity anti-gastric cancer agents
-
In this paper, a series of thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing different aromatic heterocyclic groups were synthesized and the tridentate donor system of the lead compound was optimized. Most of the target compounds showed improved antiproliferative activity against MGC803 cells. SAR studies revealed that compound 5d displayed significant advantages in inhibition effect with an IC50 value of 0.031 μM, and better selectivity between cancer and normal cells than 3-AP and DpC (about 15- and 5-fold improved respectively). Besides, compound 5d showed selective antiproliferative activity in not only other cancer cells but also different gastric cancer cell lines. In-depth mechanism studies showed that compound 5d could induce mitochondria-related apoptosis which might be related to the elevation of intracellular ROS level, and cause cell cycle arrest at S phase. Moreover, 5d could evidently suppress the cell migration and invasion by blocking the EMT (epithelial–mesenchymal transition) process. Consequently, our studies provided a lead optimization strategy of thiosemicarbazone derivatives which would contribute to discover high-efficiency and low-toxicity agents for the treatment of gastric cancer.

- Design, synthesis, biological activities, and dynamic simulation study of novel thiourea derivatives with gibberellin activity towards Arabidopsis thaliana
-
Computer-aided drug design has advanced by leaps and bounds, and has been widely used in various fields, and especially in the field of drug discovery. Although the crystal structure of the gibberellin (GA) receptor GID1A had been reported in previous studies, there is still a lack of designs of gibberellin functional analogue based GID1A. In the present study, a series of 30 thiourea derivatives were designed, synthesized and biologically assayed. The results suggested that the synthetic compounds had good GA-like activities. Furthermore, the structure-activity relationship of the synthetic compounds was discussed, and the dynamic simulation and docking study revealed the binding properties of the GID1A receptor and compounds Y1, Y11, and Y21.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of terminal functionalized thiourea-containing dipeptides as antitumor agents
-
A series of antitumor agents based on terminal functionalized dipeptide derivatives containing the thiourea moiety were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity using a panel of cancer cell lines, and the effects and mechanism of apoptosis induction were determined. These compounds exhibited significant selectivity to different cancer cell lines with IC50 values at micromolar concentrations. In particular, compound I-11 appeared to be the most potent compound, with an IC50 = 4.85 ± 1.44 μM against the NCI-H460 cell line, at least partly, by the induction of apoptosis. Mechanistically, compound I-11 induced the activation of caspase-12 and CHOP, which triggered apoptotic signalling via the ROS-dependent endoplasmic reticulum pathway and arrested the cell cycle at the S phase. Thus, we concluded that dipeptide derivatives containing the thiourea moiety terminally functionalized by electron-withdrawing substituents may be potential antitumor agents for further investigation.

- N,N'-bis-substituted aryl thiourea derivatives and synthetic method and application thereof
-
The invention discloses N,N'-bis-substituted aryl thiourea derivatives which are a series of compounds simultaneously containing various substituted aromatic ring structures and asymmetric substituted thiourea structures and are all novel structural compounds which are not reported in the literature. The biological activity test analysis of all the target compounds includes determination of DPPH antioxidant activity and antiviral activity. Results indicate that, in general, the designed and synthesized compounds are novel in structures and have the antioxidant activity and the antiviral activity revealed for the first time. In addition, the unknown biological activity is not fully elucidated, and thus the compounds are expected to provide a certain material basis for further research and development of new drugs.

- Reaction of Thiocarbonyl Fluoride Generated from Difluorocarbene with Amines
-
The reaction of thiocarbonyl fluoride, generated from difluorocarbene, with various amines under mild conditions is described. Secondary amines, primary amines, and o-phenylenediamines are converted to thiocarbamoyl fluorides, isothiocyanates, and difluoromethylthiolated heterocycles, respectively. Thiocarbamoyl fluorides were further transformed into trifluoromethylated amines by using a one-pot process. Thiocarbonyl fluoride is generated in situ and is rapidly fully converted in one pot under mild conditions; therefore, no special safety precautions are needed.

- Design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of novel ursolic acid derivatives as potential anticancer agents
-
A series of novel ursolic acid (UA) derivatives modified at the C-3 and the C-28 positions were designed and synthesized in an attempt to develop potential antitumor agents. The in vitro cytotoxicity were evaluated against five cancer cell lines (MGC-803, HCT-116, T24, HepG2 and A549 cell lines) and a normal cell (HL-7702) by MTT assay. The screening results indicated that some of these target compounds displayed moderate to high levels of antiproliferative activities compared with ursolic acid and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and exhibited much lower cytotoxicity than 5-FU, indicating that the targeted compounds had selective and significant effect on the cell lines. The induction of apoptosis and affects on the cell cycle distribution of compound 6r were investigated by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, Hoechst 33258 staining, JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential staining and flow cytometry, which revealed that the antitumor activity of 6r was possibly achieved through the induction of cell apoptosis by G1 cell-cycle arrest. Western blot and qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) experiments demonstrated that compound 6r may induce apoptosis through both of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathway.

- Synthesis of isothiocyanates by reaction of amines with phenyl chlorothionoformate via one-pot or two-step process
-
A facile and efficient synthesis of isothiocyanates from amines is described. This method involves the reaction of amines with phenyl chlorothionoformate in the presence of solid sodium hydroxide by either a one-pot process or a two-step approach. The one-pot process is useful for preparing alkyl and electron-rich aryl isothiocyanates, whereas the two-step approach is more versatile, working very well not only for alkyl and electron-rich aryl isothiocyanates, but also for highly electron-deficient aryl and heterocyclic isothiocyanates.

- Discovery of dual inhibitors targeting both HIV-1 capsid and human cyclophilin A to inhibit the assembly and uncoating of the viral capsid
-
HIV-1 assembly and disassembly (uncoating) processes are critical for the HIV-1 replication. HIV-1 capsid (CA) and human cyclophilin A (CypA) play essential roles in these processes. We designed and synthesized a series of thiourea compounds as HIV-1 assembly and disassembly dual inhibitors targeting both HIV-1 CA protein and human CypA. The SIV-induced syncytium antiviral evaluation indicated that all of the inhibitors displayed antiviral activities in SIV-infected CEM cells at the concentration of 0.6-15.8 μM for 50% of maximum effective rate. Their abilities to bind CA and CypA were determined by ultraviolet spectroscopic analysis, fluorescence binding affinity and PPIase inhibition assay. Assembly studies in vitro demonstrated that the compounds could potently disrupt CA assembly with a dose-dependent manner. All of these molecules could bind CypA with binding affinities (Kd values) of 51.0-512.8 μM. Fifteen of the CypA binding compounds showed potent PPIase inhibitory activities (IC50 values 1 μM) while they could not bind either to HIV-1 Protease or to HIV-1 Integrase in the enzyme assays. These results suggested that 15 compounds could block HIV-1 replication by inhibiting the PPIase activity of CypA to interfere with capsid disassembly and disrupting CA assembly.

- Isothiocyanates from tosyl chloride mediated decomposition of in situ generated dithiocarbamic acid salts
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A facile and general protocol for the preparation of isothiocyanates from alkyl and aryl amines is reported. This method relies on a tosyl chloride mediated decomposition of a dithiocarbamate salt that is generated in situ by treatment of an amine with carbon disulfide and triethylamine. Utilizing this protocol, we have prepared 19-alkyl- and arylisothiocyanates in moderate to excellent yield.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of novel phenylcyanoguanidine derivatives as potassium channel openers
-
3,5-Di-substituted phenylcyanoguanidine derivatives with halogen, cyano, and/or nitro groups at the 3- and 5-positions of the benzene ring exhibited very strong smooth muscle relaxation activity in vitro, as compared to pinacidil. Among them, N-(3-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-N'-cyano-N''-tert- pentylguanidine (5s) showed 27-fold more potent activity than pinacidil, and exhibited a stronger and more lasting antihypertensive effect than pinacidil by oral administration to spontaneously hypertensive rats. We propose a new pharmacophore model in which the essential factors for binding to the potassium channel are an NH and a bulky alkyl group.
