- Development of novel ferulic acid derivatives as potent histone deacetylase inhibitors
-
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) offer a promising strategy for cancer therapy. The discovery of potent ferulic acid-based HDACIs with hydroxamic acid or 2-aminobenzamide group as zinc binding group was reported. The halogeno-acetanilide was introduced as novel surface recognition moiety (SRM). The majority of title compounds displayed potent HDAC inhibitory activity. In particular, FA6 and FA16 exhibited significant enzymatic inhibitory activities, with IC50 values of 3.94 and 2.82 μM, respectively. Furthermore, these compounds showed moderate antiproliferative activity against a panel of human cancer cells. FA17 displayed promising profile as an antitumor candidate. The results indicated that these ferulic acid derivatives could serve as promising lead compounds for further optimization.

New quinoxaline derivative, N-(4-methyl-2-nitrophenyl)-2-(3-methyl-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)acetamide (NMPOQA= disordered molecules NMPOQAa(50.3% and NMPOQAb(49.7%)) has been synthesized and characterized by ESI-MS, IR, 1H &13C NMR. The geometric parameters of NMPOQA compound which crystallographic structure has been defined by X-ray diffraction have been calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT), B3LYP, 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The correlation between experimental and theoretical structure was checked by superimposing the experimental and theoretical structure. Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMO's) have been created and the gap energy between High Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and Low Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) has been calculated. Additionally, Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) and Hirshfeld studies have been conducted to analyze intermolecular interactions. Interesting molecular docking of NMPOQA and Remdesivir drug with 6M03 was conducted using the same parameters for a fair comparison. A low binding affinity of the NMPOQA (?6.9 kcal/mol) compared to the Remdesivir drug, (?7.1 kcal/mol) and other good reasons make NMPOQA a good candidate against COVID-19. A similar study was calculated with 1EVE producing evidences that suggest NMPOQA may serve as a potential drug for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation studies of novel small molecule ENPP1 inhibitors for cancer immunotherapy
-
Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases 1 (ENPP1 or NPP1), is an attractive therapeutic target for various diseases, primarily cancer and mineralization disorders. The ecto-enzyme is located on the cell surface and has been implicated in the control of extracellular levels of nucleotide, nucleoside and (di) phosphate. Recently, it has emerged as a critical phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes cyclic 2′3′- cGAMP, the endogenous ligand for STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes). STING plays an important role in innate immunity by activating type I interferon in response to cytosolic 2′3′-cGAMP. ENPP1 negatively regulates the STING pathway and hence its inhibition makes it an attractive therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we describe the design, optimization and biological evaluation studies of a series of novel non-nucleotidic thioguanine based small molecule inhibitors of ENPP1. The lead compound 43 has shown good in vitro potency, stability in SGF/SIF/PBS, selectivity, ADME properties and pharmacokinetic profile and finally potent anti-tumor response in vivo. These compounds are a good starting point for the development of potentially effective cancer immunotherapy agents.

- N-Aryl mercaptoacetamides as potential multi-target inhibitors of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and the virulence factor LasB fromPseudomonas aeruginosa
-
Increasing antimicrobial resistance is evolving to be one of the major threats to public health. To reduce the selection pressure and thus to avoid a fast development of resistance, novel approaches aim to target bacterial virulence instead of growth. Another strategy is to restore the activity of antibiotics already in clinical use. This can be achieved by the inhibition of resistance factors such as metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). Since MBLs can cleave almost all β-lactam antibiotics, including the “last resort” carbapenems, their inhibition is of utmost importance. Here, we report on the synthesis andin vitroevaluation ofN-aryl mercaptoacetamides as inhibitors of both clinically relevant MBLs and the virulence factor LasB fromPseudomonas aeruginosa. All testedN-aryl mercaptoacetamides showed low micromolar to submicromolar activities on the tested enzymes IMP-7, NDM-1 and VIM-1. The two most promising compounds were further examined in NDM-1 expressingKlebsiella pneumoniaeisolates, where they restored the full activity of imipenem. Together with their LasB-inhibitory activity in the micromolar range, this class of compounds can now serve as a starting point for a multi-target inhibitor approach against both bacterial resistance and virulence, which is unprecedented in antibacterial drug discovery.

- Anti-melanogenesis and anti-tyrosinase properties of aryl-substituted acetamides of phenoxy methyl triazole conjugated with thiosemicarbazide: Design, synthesis and biological evaluations
-
A series of aryl phenoxy methyl triazole conjugated with thiosemicarbazides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their tyrosinase inhibitory activities in the presence of L-dopa and L-tyrosine as substrates. All the compounds showed tyrosinase inhibition in the sub-micromolar concentration. Among the derivatives, compound 9j bearing benzyl displayed exceptionally high potency against tyrosinase with IC50 value of 0.11 μM and 0.17 μM in the presence of L-tyrosine and L-dopa as substrates which is significantly lower than that of kojic acid as the positive control with an IC50 value of 9.28 μM for L-tyrosine and 9.30 μM for L-dopa. According to Lineweaver–Burk plot, 9j demonstrated an uncompetitive type of inhibition in the kinetic assay. Also, in vitro antioxidant activities determined by DPPH assay recorded an IC50 value of 68.43 μM for 9i. The melanin content of 9j was determined on B16F10 melanoma human cells which demonstrated a significant reduction of the melanin content. Moreover, the binding energies corresponding to the same ligand as well as computer-aided drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic studies were also carried out. Compound 9j also possessed metal chelation potential correlated to its high anti-TYR activity.

- Synthesis, molecular modeling, selective aldose reductase inhibition and hypoglycemic activity of novel meglitinides
-
In the present study, a novel generation of selective aldose reductase ALR2 inhibitors with significant hypoglycemic activities was designed and modulated based on rhodanine scaffold joined to an acetamide linker in between two lipophilic moieties. The synthesis of the novel compounds was accomplished throughout simple chemical pathways. Molecular docking was performed on B-cell membrane protein SUR1, aldehyde reductase ALR1 and aldose reductase ALR2 active sites. Compounds 10B, 11B, 12B, 15C, 16C, 26F and 27F displayed the highest hypoglycemic activities with 80.7, 85.2, 87, 82.3, 83.5, 81.4 and 85.3% reduction in blood glucose levels, respectively. They were more potent than the standard hypoglycemic agent repaglinide with 65.4% reduction in blood glucose level. Compounds 12B and 15C with IC50 0.29 and 0.35 μM were more potent than the standard ALR2 inhibitor epalrestat with IC50 0.40 μM. They were selective towards ALR2 over ALR1 134 and 116 folds, respectively. Molecular docking studies matched with the in-vitro and in-vivo results to elucidate the dual activities of both compounds 12B and 15C as potent antagonists for ALR2 over ALR1 and good agonists for the SUR1 protein.

This study describes a virtual screening performed for two series of selenides (28 compounds), derived from N-phenylacetamides chlorides and 7-chloro-quinoline, to determine their potential for leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania donovani. Seven compounds were predicted as potential leishmanicides; therefore, they were synthesized from elemental selenium, as a precursor for the production of NaHSe, and subsequent reactions with 4,7-dichloro-quinoline and N-phenylacetamides chlorides were performed. The compounds were characterized by infrared (IR), 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and sent for in vitro cytotoxicity tests against L. amazonensis and were found to be active and selective, and two compounds presented half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 5.67 and 10.81 μg mL-1. They also presented good interaction energies in the docking study, suggesting that may exert their effects by inhibiting the N-myristoyltransferase and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase enzymes in parasites.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel naturally-inspired multifunctional molecules for the management of Alzheimer's disease
-
In our overall goal to overcome the limitations associated with natural products for the management of Alzheimer's disease and to develop in-vivo active multifunctional cholinergic inhibitors, we embarked on the development of ferulic acid analogs. A systematic SAR study to improve upon the cholinesterase inhibition of ferulic acid with analogs that also had lower logP was carried out. Enzyme inhibition and kinetic studies identified compound 7a as a lead molecule with preferential acetylcholinesterase inhibition (AChE IC50 = 5.74 ± 0.13 μM; BChE IC50 = 14.05 ± 0.10 μM) compared to the parent molecule ferulic acid (% inhibition of AChE and BChE at 20 μM, 15.19 ± 0.59 and 19.73 ± 0.91, respectively). Molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that 7a fits well into the active sites of AChE and BChE, forming stable and strong interactions with key residues Asp74, Trp286, and Tyr337 in AChE and with Tyr128, Trp231, Leu286, Ala328, Phe329, and Tyr341 in BChE. Compound 7a was found to be an efficacious antioxidant in a DPPH assay (IC50 = 57.35 ± 0.27 μM), and it also was able to chelate iron. Data from atomic force microscopy images demonstrated that 7a was able to modulate aggregation of amyloid β1-42. Upon oral administration, 7a exhibited promising in-vivo activity in the scopolamine-induced AD animal model and was able to improve spatial memory in cognitive deficit mice in the Y-maze model. Analog 7a could effectively reverse the increased levels of AChE and BChE in scopolamine-treated animals and exhibited potent ex-vivo antioxidant properties. These findings suggest that 7a can act as a lead molecule for the development of naturally-inspired multifunctional molecules for the management of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders.

- Pharmacological and physicochemical profile of arylacetamides as tools against human cancers
-
Arylacetamides are widely used as synthetic intermediates to obtain medicinal substances. This work evaluated in vitro antiproliferative activity of ten 2-Chloro-N-arylacetamides on human normal and cancer cells and detailed in vivo toxicological and anticancer investigations. Initially, cytotoxic colorimetric assays were performed using tumor lines, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and erythrocytes. Compounds 2, 3 and 4 were tested for acute toxicity (50, 150 and 300 mg/kg) and for subacute antitumoral capacity in HCT-116 colon carcinoma-bearing xenograft mice for 15 days at 25 mg/kg/day. Most compounds revealed cytotoxic action on tumor lines and PBMC, but activity on human erythrocytes were not detected. Molecular dipole moment, lipophilicity and electronic constant of aryl substituents had effects upon in vitro antiproliferative capacity. More common in vivo acute behavioral signals with compounds 2, 3 and 4 were muscle relaxation, reduction of spontaneous locomotor activity and number of entries in closed arms and increased number of falls andtime spent in open arms, suggesting diazepam-like anxiolytic properties. Decrease of grabbing strength and overall activity were common, but palpebral ptosis and deaths occurred at 300 mg/kg only. Compounds 2 and 3 reduced colon carcinoma growth (21.2 and 27.5%, respectively, p 0.05) without causing apparent signals of organ-specific toxicity after subacute exposure. The structural chemical simplicity of arylacetamides make them cost-effective alternatives and justifies further improvements to enhance activity, selectivity and the development of pharmaceutical formulations.

A simple catalyst- and promoter-free protocol has been developed for the transamidation of weakly nucleophilic aromatic amines with formamide derivatives and low-reactivity tertiary amides with aliphatic amines. This strategy is advantageous because no catalyst or promoters are needed, no additives are required, separation and purification is easy, and the reaction is scalable. Significantly, this strategy was further applied to synthesize several pharmaceutical molecules on a gram scale, and excellent yields were achieved.

A group of podophyllotoxin (PPT) derivatives (7a-j) were synthesized by conjugating aryloxyacetanilide moieties to the 4'-hydroxyl of 4'-demethyl-4-deoxypodophyllotoxin (DDPT), and their anticancer activity was evaluated. It was found that the most potent compound 7d inhibited the proliferation of three cancer cell lines with sub to low micromolar IC50 values. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that 7d induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase in MGC-803 cells, and regulated the expression of cell cycle check point proteins, such as cyclin A, cyclin B, CDK1, cdc25c, and p21. Finally, 4 mg/kg of 7d reduced the weights and volumes of HepG2 xenografts in mice. Our findings suggest that 7d might be a potential anticancer agent.

The luminescence and electrochemical properties of the terbium complexes were investigated. The results show that all the target complexes exhibited characteristic emissions of terbium ions and the complex substituted by the chlorine has the strongest luminescence intensity with the highest quantum yield at 0.609. The introduction of donating electron groups could increase the oxidation potential and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the terbium complex; however, the introduction of accepting electron groups gave the opposite result.

- A novel acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 2-substituted-3-(2-nitrophenyl)oxiranes for the synthesis of di- and mono-oxalamides
-
A novel one-pot synthetic approach to N1-(2-carboxyaryl)-N2-(aryl or H)oxalamides from 3-(2-nitroaryl)oxirane-2-carboxamides via the classical Meinwald rearrangement and a new rearrangement sequence has been developed. The methodology is applicable to the synthesis of N-(2-carboxyphenyl)aryloxalmonoamides from (3-(2-nitrophenyl)oxiran-2-yl)(aryl)methanones. The method is operationally simple and high yielding, thus providing a new useful formula for both anthranilic acid derivatives and oxalamides.

-
In the present study, antileishmanial activity of sixteen novel series of tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives against transgenic infrared fluorescent Leishmania infantum strain has been reported. Among these reported analogues, most of the compounds exhibited potent inhibition against both promastigote (IC50from 1.99?±?1.40 to 20.69?±?0.95?μM) and amastigote (IC50from 0.67?±?0.05 to 4.16?±?0.008?μM) forms of L.?infantum. Moreover, compound 7l, displayed most potent and selective inhibition of parasite amastigote form with IC500.67?±?0.05?μM, selectivity index >298.5 and was comparable with standard drug amphotericin B. From this study, a new class of tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives with potent antileishmanial activity was identified and it needs further extensive study to optimize the lead molecules to win the battle against severe and neglected disease leishmaniasis.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives incorporating benzisoselenazolone scaffold as potential antitumor agents
-
Background: Based on the biological signi-cance of benzisoselenazolone and 1,3,4-thiadiazole, a series of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives incorporating benzisoselenazolone scaffold were designed and synthesized with ebselen as a lead compound. Methods: Meanwhile, their in vitro antitumor activities were evaluated against SMMC-7721, MCF-7 and A549 human cancer cell lines by CCK-8 assay. Results: The preliminary bioassay results demonstrated that all tested compounds 4a-q showed potent antitumor activities, and some compounds exhibited better effects than positive control ethaselen and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) against various cancer cell lines. Furthermore, compounds 4b and 4m showed significant antitumor activities against SMMC-7721 cells with IC50 values of 1.89 and 1.89 μM, respectively. Compounds 4c and 4n displayed highly effective biological activities against MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 2.88 and 2.28 μM, respectively. Compound 4i showed the best inhibitory effect against A549 cells with IC50 value of 1.76 μM. Conclusion: The pharmacological results suggest that the substituent groups of phenyl ring on the 1,3,4-thiadiazole are vital for modulating antitumor activities against various cancer cell lines.

- Synthesis of new donepezil analogues and investigation of their effects on cholinesterase enzymes
-
Donepezil (DNP), an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, is one of the most preferred choices in Alzheimer diseases (AD) therapy. In the present study, 38 new DNP analogues were synthesized. Structures of the synthesized compounds (1–38) were elucidated by IR,1H NMR,13C NMR and HRMS spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. Inhibitory potential of the compounds on cholinesterase enzymes was investigated. None of the compounds displayed significant activity on butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzyme. On the other hand, compounds 26–29 indicated important inhibitory activity on AChE enzyme. Kinetic studies were performed in order to observe the effects of the most active compounds on substrate-enzyme relationship. Cytotoxicity studies and theoretical calculation of pharmacokinetic properties were also carried out to get an information about toxicity and pharmacokinetic profiles of the compounds. The compounds 26–29 were found to be nontoxic at their effective concentrations against AChE. A good pharmacokinetic profile was predicted for these compounds. Docking studies were performed for the most active compounds 26–29 and interaction modes with enzyme active sites were determined. Docking studies revealed that there is a strong interaction between the active sites of AChE enzyme and analyzed compounds.

Four novel salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone derivatives and their corresponding europium ion complexes were synthesized and characterized, while the luminescence properties and the fluorescence quantum yields of the target complexes were investigated. The results indicated that the ligands favored energy transfers to the emitting energy level of europium ion, and four target europium complexes showed the characteristic luminescence of central europium ion. Besides the luminescence intensity of the complex with methoxy group, which possessed the highest fluorescence quantum yield (0.522), was stronger than that of other complexes. Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of the target complexes were further investigated by cyclic voltammetry, the results indicated that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels and the oxidation potential of the complexes with electron donating group increased, however, that of the complexes with accepting electron group decreased.

- Discovery of novel AHLs as potent antiproliferative agents
-
Three series of novel AHL analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines. The SARs investigation indicated that AHLs with a terminal phenyl group, especially those with the chalcone scaffold had remarkably enhanced cytotoxicity than those with the hydrophobic side chains. Besides, some of these compounds were much more potent than 5-Fu and natural OdDHL. Through the detailed SARs discussions, we found that compounds 10a-k and 14 with the 4-amino chalcone scaffold showed excellent inhibition against all the tested cancer cell lines and were much more potent than 5-Fu and AHLs. Such scaffold may act as a template for further lead optimization. Compound 10i with a 3, 4, 5-trimethoxy group was the most potent one against all the tested cancer cell lines. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that analog 11e induced the cellular apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of MCF-7 cells at G2/M phase in a concentration-and time-dependent manner.

- Synthesis and in vitro kinetic study of novel mono-pyridinium oximes as reactivators of organophosphorus (OP) inhibited human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE)

A series of mono pyridinium oximes linked with arenylacetamides as side chains were synthesized and their in vitro reactivation potential was evaluated against human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibited by organophosphorus inhibitors (OP) such as sarin, VX and tabun. The reactivation data of the synthesized compounds were compared with those obtained with standard reactivators such as 2-PAM and obidoxime. The dissociation constant (KD) and specific reactivity (kr) of the oximes were also determined by performing reactivation kinetics against OP inhibited hAChE. Among the synthesized compounds, oximes 1-(2-(4-cyanophenylamino)-2-oxoethyl)-4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)pyridinium chloride (12a) and 4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)-1-(2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl)pyridinium chloride (2a) were found most potent reactivators for hAChE inhibited by sarin. In case of VX inhibited hAChE majority of the oximes have shown good reactivation efficacies. Among these oximes 1-(2-(benzylamino)-2-oxoethyl)-4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)pyridinium chloride (18a), 4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)-1-(2-(4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenylamino)-2-oxoethyl)pyridinium-chloride (14a) and 12a were found to surpass the reactivation potential of 2-PAM and obidoxime. However, the synthesized oximes showed marginal reactivation efficacies in case of tabun inhibited hAChE. The pKa value of the oximes were determined and correlated with their observed reactivation potential.

- Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Chalcone Derivatives as Novel Anticandidal Agents
-
Twenty chalcone derivatives were designed and synthesized with a view to developing novel anticandidal agents. All the compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity against Candida albicans (ATCC 10231 and ten clinical isolates). Most of them exhibited moderate anticandidal potency with MIC values ranging from 2.0 to 32.0 μg/mL. Four compounds (T4, T6, T19, T20) displayed potent anticandidal activity with MIC values of 2.0 μg/mL. Compound T6 showed the most potent activity against Candida albicans (ATCC 10231 and four clinical isolates). In addition, attempts have also been made to correlate anticandidal activity to physicochemical properties. The results indicated that incorporation of halogen on the benzene ring is beneficial for anticandidal activity.

- Discovery, synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-(4-(N-phenethylsulfamoyl)phenoxy)acetamides (SAPAs) as novel sphingomyelin synthase 1 inhibitors
-
Sphingomyelin synthase (SMS) has been proved to be a potential drug target for the treatment of atherosclerosis. However, few SMS inhibitors have been reported. In this paper, structure-based virtual screening was performed on hSMS1. SAPA 1a was discovered as a novel SMS1 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 5.2 μM in enzymatic assay. A series of 2-(4-(N-phenethylsulfamoyl)phenoxy)acetamides (SAPAs) were synthesized and their biological activities toward SMS1 were evaluated. Among them, SAPA 1j was found to be the most potent SMS1 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 2.1 μM in in vitro assay. The molecular docking studies suggested the interaction modes of SMS1 inhibitors and PC with the active site of SMS1. Site-directed mutagenesis validated the involvement of residues Arg342 and Tyr338 in enzymatic sphingomyelin production. The discovery of SAPA derivatives as a novel class of SMS1 inhibitors would advance the development of more effective SMS1 inhibitors.

- Promiscuity and selectivity in covalent enzyme inhibition: A systematic study of electrophilic fragments
-
Covalent ligand-target interactions offer significant pharmacological advantages. However, off-target reactivity of the reactive groups, which usually have electrophilic properties, must be minimized, and the selectivity of irreversible inhibitors is a crucial requirement. We therefore performed a systematic study to determine the selectivity of several electrophilic groups that can be used as building blocks for covalently binding ligands. Six reactive groups with modulated electrophilicity were combined with 11 nonreactive moieties, resulting in a small combinatorial library of 72 fragment-like compounds. These compounds were screened against a group of 11 enzyme targets to assess their selectivity and their potential for promiscuous binding to proteins. The assay results showed a considerably lower degree of promiscuity than initially expected, even for those members of the screening collection that contain supposedly highly reactive electrophiles.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel quinazoline-2,4-dione derivatives as chitin synthase inhibitors and antifungal agents
-
A series of novel 1-methyl-3-substituted quinazoline-2,4-dione derivatives were designed, synthesized, and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS spectral data. Their inhibition against chitin synthase (CHS) and antifungal activities were evaluated in vitro. Results showed compounds 5b, 5c, 5e, 5f, 5j, 5k, 5l, and 5o had strong inhibitory potency against CHS. Compound 5c, which has the highest potency among these compounds, had a half-inhibition concentration (IC50) of 0.08 mmol/L, while polyoxin B as positive drug had IC50 of 0.18 mmol/L. These IC 50 values of compounds 5i, 5m, 5n, and 5s were greater than 0.75 mmol/L, which revealed that those compounds had weak inhibition activity against CHS. Moreover, most of these compounds exhibited moderate to excellent antifungal activities. In detail, to Candida albicans, the activities of compound 5g and 5k were 8-fold stronger than that of fluconazole and 4-fold stronger than that of polyoxin B; to Aspergillus flavus, the activities of 5g, 5l and 5o were16-fold stronger than that of fluconazole and 8-fold stronger than that of polyoxin B; to Cryptococcus neoformans, the minimum-inhibition- concentration (MIC) values of compounds 5c, 5d, 5e and 5l were comparable to those of fluconazole and polyoxin B. The antifungal activities of these compounds were positively correlated to their IC50 values against CHS. Furthermore, these compounds had negligible actions to bacteria. Therefore, these compounds were promising selective antifungal agents.
