- Synthesis of novel 1,2,3-triazole derivatives of isocoumarins and 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin with potential antiplasmodial activity in vitro
-
Background: Malaria greatly affects the world health, having caused more than 228 million cases only in 2018. The emergence of drug resistance is one of the main problems in its treatment, dem-onstrating the need for the development of new antimalarial drugs. Objective: Synthesis and in vitro antiplasmodial evaluation of triazole compounds derived from isocou-marins and a 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin. Methods: The compounds were synthesized in 4 to 6-step reactions with the formation of the triazole ring via the Copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between isocoumarin or 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin azides and terminal alkynes. This key reaction provided compounds with an un-precedented connection of isocoumarin or 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin and the 1,2,3-triazole ring. The products were tested for their antiplasmodial activity against a Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistant and sensitive strains (W2 and 3D7, respectively). Results: Thirty-one substances were efficiently obtained by the proposed routes with an overall yield of 25-53%. The active substances in the antiplasmodial test displayed IC50 values ranging from 0.68-2.89 μM and 0.85-2.07 μM against W2 and 3D7 strains, respectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the great potential of isocoumarin or 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin derivatives because practically all the tested substances were active against Plasmodium falciparum.

- Synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives and leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania braziliensis
-
Leishmania braziliensis is one of the pathogenic agents of cutaneous and mucocutanoeous leishmaniasis. There are no validated vaccines to prevent the infection and the treatment relies on drugs that often present severe side effects, which justify the efforts to find new potential antileishmanial drugs. An alternative to promote the discovery of new drugs would be the association of different chemical groups of bioactive compounds. Here we describe the synthesis and bioactivity evaluation against L. braziliensis of cinnamic acid derivatives possessing isobenzofuranone and 1,2,3-triazole functionalities. We tested 25 compounds at 10 μM concentration against extracellular promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes during macrophage infection. Most compounds were more active against amastigotes than to promastigotes. The derivatives (E)-3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-5-yl-(3,4,5-trimethoxy) cinnamate (5c), (1-(3,4-difluorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl cinnamate (9g), and (1-(2-bromobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl cinnamate (9l) were the most effective presenting over 80% toxicity on L. braziliensis amastigotes. While compound 5c is a cinnamate with an isobenzofuranone portion, 9g and 9l are triazolic cinnamic acid derivatives. The action of these compounds was comparable to amphotericin B used as positive control. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that 5c-treated parasites showed impaired cytokinesis and apoptosis triggering. Taken together, these results highlight the potential of cinnamic acid derivatives in development of novel anti-leishmanial drugs.

- Synthesis of potential anti-Trypanosoma cruzi azole-naftifine analogues by azide–alkyne click reaction
-
Twenty novel azole-naftifine analogues were obtained using azide–alkyne click reaction. Five of them were more potent than the positive control naftifine revealing an unprecedented antiproliferative effects against Trypanosoma cruzi.

- Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives containing a 1,2,3-triazole moiety
-
Twelve novel 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives were synthesized with good yields by performing coppercatalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ("click" reaction) between an 8-O-alkylated-quinoline containing a terminal alkyne and various aromatic or protected sugar azides. These compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antiproliferative activity on various cancer cell types. Protected sugar derivative 16 was the most active compound in the series, exhibiting potent antiproliferative activity and high selectivity toward ovarian cancer cells (OVCAR-03, GI50 -1); this derivative was more active than the reference drug doxorubicin (OVCAR-03, GI50 = 0.43 μg mL-1). In structureeactivity relationship (SAR) studies, the physico-chemical parameters of the compounds were evaluated and docking calculations were performed for the a-glucosidase active site to predict the possible mechanism of action of this series of compounds.

- Synthesis and phytotoxic activity of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives
-
Thirteen triazole derivatives bearing halogenated benzyl substituents were synthesized using the Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC),a leading example of the click chemistry approach,as the key step. The biological activity of the compounds was evaluated,and it was found that these compounds interfere with the germination and radicle growth (shoots and roots) of two dicotyledonous species,Lactuca sativa and Cucumis sativus,and one monocotyledonous species,Allium cepa. The compounds showed predominantly inhibitory activity related to the evaluated species mainly at the concentration of 10-4 mol L-1. Some of them presented inhibitory activity comparable to 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid),used as positive control.
