- Design, synthesis, chemical characterization, biological evaluation, and docking study of new 1,3,4-oxadiazole homonucleoside analogs
-
Herein, we report the synthetic strategies and characterization of some novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole homonucleoside analogs that are relevant to potential antitumor and cytotoxic activities. The structure of all compounds is confirmed using various spectroscopic methods such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HRMS, and FTIR. These compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, SKBR3, and HL60 Cell Line). Preliminary investigations showed that the cytotoxic activity was markedly dependent on the nucleobase. Introduction of 5-Iodouracil 4g and theobromine 6b proved to be extremely beneficial even they were more potent than the reference drug (DOX). Also, the synthesized compounds were tested for their antiviral activities against the human varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The product 4h was (6-azauracil derivative) more potent to the reference (acyclovir) against the deficient TK ? VZV strain by about 2-fold. Finally, molecular docking suggested that the anticancer activities of compounds 6b and 4g mediated by inhibiting dual proteins EGFR/HER2 with low micromolar inhibition constant Ki range. The 1,3,4-oxadiazole homonucleosides showed a strong affinity to binding sites of target proteins by forming H-bond, carbon–hydrogen bond, Pi-anion, Pi-sulfur, Pi-sigma, alkyl, and Pi-alkyl interactions.

- Inhibition of advanced protein glycation by 8-quinolinecarboxylic hydrazide
-
Glycation of proteins is believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, and thus the development of potent inhibitors of protein glycation is highly desirable. We tested the inhibitory effects of 12 hydrazide compounds against protein glycation and compared them with the effects of aminoguanidine (AG), a well-known inhibitor. When bovine serum albumin (BSA) was incubated with 100 mmol/l mannose for 10 days at 37°C in the presence and absence of hydrazide compounds or AG at 1 mmol/l, only p-anisic hydrazide inhibited Amadori product formation. On the other hand, 8 hydrazides as well as AG inhibited the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). 8-Quinolinecarboxylic hydrazide (8-QCH), the most potent hydrazide, was more effective than AG. Neither 8-QCH nor AG affected the spontaneous decrease in Amadori products of preglycated BSA in the absence of sugar, but suppressed the spontaneous increase in AGEs from preglycated BSA, with higher potency of 8-QCH relative to AG. The results indicate that 8-QCH is a more potent inhibitor of AGE formation than AG and suggest that the inhibition mechanisms of 8-QCH and AG resemble each other.

- Novel hydrazone moiety-bearing aminopyrimidines as selective inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor T790M mutant
-
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutant is found in approximately 50% of clinically acquired resistance to gefitinib among patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, a series of novel aminopyrimidines bearing a hydrazone moiety were identified as potent and selective EGFR inhibitors. Compounds 14a, 15g, and 15i potently inhibited all EGFR mutants including EGFR T790M/L858R, EGFR T790M/delE746-A750, and EGFR T790M while they showed weak effects on the wild type (WT) EGFR. In addition, these compounds effectively suppressed proliferation of gefitinib-resistant H1975 (EGFR T790M/L858R) cells but were less potent against A549 (WT EGFR and k-Ras mutation) and HT-29 (non-special gene type) cells, showing a high safety index. Therefore, 14a, 15g, and 15i might be promising candidates to overcome drug resistance mediated by the EGFR T790M mutant.

- Symmetrical heterocyclic cage skeleton: Synthesis, urease inhibition activity, kinetic mechanistic insight, and molecular docking analyses
-
The present study focuses on the design and synthesis of a cage-like organic skeleton containing two triazole rings jointed via imine linkage. These molecules can act as urease inhibitors. The in-vitro urease inhibition screening results showed that the combination of the two triazole skeleton in the cage-like morphology exhibited comparable urease inhibition activity to that of the reference thiourea while the metallic complexation, especially with copper, nickel, and palladium, showed excellent activity results with IC50 values of 0.94 ± 0.13, 3.71 ± 0.61, and 7.64 ± 1.21 (3a–c), and 1.20 ± 0.52, 3.93 ± 0.45, and 12.87 ± 2.11 μM (4a–c). However, the rest of compounds among the targeted series exhibited a low to moderate enzyme inhibition potential. To better understand the compounds’ underlying mechanisms of the inhibitory effect (3a and 4a) and their most active metal complexes (3b and 4b), we performed an enzymatic kinetic analysis using the Lineweaver–Burk plot in the presence of different concentrations of inhibitors to represent the non-competitive inhibition nature of the compounds, 3a, 4a, and 4b, while mixed type inhibition was represented by the compound, 3b. Moreover, molecular docking confirmed the binding interactive behavior of 3a within the active site of the target protein.

- A highly sensitive fluorescent chemosensor for selective detection of zinc (II) ion based on the oxadiazole derivative
-
A novel fluorescent chemosensor based on the oxadiazole, 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, was designed and synthesized. The interaction of the oxadiazole with different metal ions had been investigated through UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectra in 9:1 (v/v) ethanol-water (pH?=?7.0) solution. The oxadiazole showed a pronounced fluorescence enhancement at 430?nm upon addition of Zn2?+ in aqueous solution, whereas it had no apparent interference from other metal ions. The results indicated that the oxadiazole possessed high selectivity and sensitivity to Zn2?+ ion. The stoichiometric ratio between the oxadiazole and Zn2?+ ion was calculated to be 2:1 by Job plot experiment, meanwhile their binding modes was confirmed by 1H NMR and mass spectrometry. Their association constant was determined to be 1.95?×?105?M??1 and the detection limit for Zn2?+ ion was 6.14?×?10??7?mol/L.

- Synthesis, characterization, molecular structure and self-assembly of some cobalt(III) complexes derived from diacetyl- and benzil bisaroylhydrazones
-
Cobalt(III) complexes of the general formula [Co(HL1-R)(L 1-R)], [Co(HL2-R)(L2-R)] and [Co(HL 1-R)2]Cl, where H2L1-R and H 2L2-R referred respectively to diacetyl and benzil bis(aroylhydrazone), have been prepared and characterized by IR, electronic, ESI and 1H NMR spectral measurements. The bisaroylhydrazone ligand in these complexes acts either as mononegative N2O tridentate, [HL 1,2-R]-, or dinegative N2O tridentate, [L 1,2-R]2-. Coordination occurs via the two diimine nitrogens and the deprotonated enolimine oxygen of one aroylhydrazone moiety, leaving the other one uncoordinated. The X-ray crystal structures of [Co(HL 2-CH3)(L2-CH3)] and [Co(HL 1-R)2]Cl (R = H, CH3) show that the molecular units are assembled into dimers through π-π stacking and hydrogen-bonded interactions respectively in the neutral and cationic complexes. Both types of dimers are linked together giving linear chains which in turn are interconnected to produce layers. These layers are further assembled with each other in [Co(HL2-CH3)(L2-CH3)] and [Co(HL1-H)2]Cl to generate three-dimensional frameworks, while in the cationic complex [Co(HL1-CH3)2]Cl, the molecular units form chains of dimers with a one-dimensional tubular structure.

- Design and synthesis of pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile hybrids as COX-2 inhibitors: Anti-inflammatory activity, ulcerogenic liability, histopathological and docking studies
-
Two new series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole and coumarin derivatives based on pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile scaffold have been synthesized and evaluated for their COX-1/COX-2 inhibitory activity. Compounds 10c, 10e, 10h-j, 14e-f, 14i and 16 were found to be the most potent and selective inhibitors of COX-2 (IC50 0.041–0.081 μM, SI 139.74–321.95). Eight compounds were further investigated for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. The most active derivatives 10c, 10j and 14e displayed superior in vivo anti-inflammatory activity (% edema inhibition 39.3–48.3, 1 h; 58.4–60.5, 2 h; 70.8–83.2, 3 h; 78.9–89.5, 4 h) to the reference drug celecoxib (% edema inhibition 38.0, 1 h; 48.8, 2 h; 58.4, 3 h; 65.4, 4 h). These derivatives were also tested for their ulcerogenic liability, compound 10j showed better safety profile with reference to celecoxib while 10c and 14e exhibited mild lesions. Molecular docking studies of 10c, 10j, and 14e in the COX-2 active site revealed similar orientation and binding interactions as selective COX-2 inhibitors with a higher liability to access the selectivity side pocket.

- Unravelling the anticancer potency of 1,2,4-triazole-N-arylamide hybrids through inhibition of STAT3: synthesis and in silico mechanistic studies
-
Abstract: The discovery of potent STAT3 inhibitors has gained noteworthy impetus in the last decade. In line with this trend, considering the proven biological importance of 1,2,4-triazoles, herein, we are reporting the design, synthesis, pharmacokinetic profiles, and in vitro anticancer activity of novel C3-linked 1,2,4-triazole-N-arylamide hybrids and their in silico proposed mechanism of action via inhibition of STAT3. The 1,2,4-triazole scaffold was selected as a privilege ring system that is embedded in core structures of a variety of anticancer drugs which are either in clinical use or still under clinical trials. The designed 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized by linking the triazole-thione moiety through amide hydrophilic linkers with diverse lipophilic fragments. In silico study to predict cytotoxicity of the new hybrids against different kinds of human cancer cell lines as well as the non-tumor cells was conducted. The multidrug-resistant human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231) was found most susceptible to the cytotoxic effect of synthesized compounds and hence were selected to evaluate the in vitro anticancer activity. Four of the designed derivatives showed promising cytotoxicity effects against selected cancer cells, among which compound 12 showed the highest potency (IC50 = 3.61?μM), followed by 21 which displayed IC50 value of 3.93?μM. Also, compounds 14 and 23 revealed equipotent activity with the reference cytotoxic agent doxorubicin. To reinforce these observations, the obtained data of in vitro cytotoxicity have been validated in terms of ligand–protein interaction and new compounds were analyzed for ADMET properties to evaluate their potential to build up as good drug candidates. This study led us to identify two novel C3-linked 1,2,4-triazole-N-arylamide hybrids of interesting antiproliferative potentials as probable lead inhibitors of STAT3 with promising pharmacokinetic profiles.

- Using m icrowave and ultrasound to synthesis of substituted bis-acyl hydrazone derivatives
-
In this paper, some new bis-acyl hydrazone derivatives (4a-f) were prepared through the reaction of carboxylic acid hydrazides with 1,4-diacetylbenzene using classical methods, microwave and ultrasound irradiation methods. These compounds are obtained through a series of reactions where some carboxylic acids react with ethanol first in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to give the corresponding esters (2a-f), which when treatment with aqueous hydrazine give carboxylic acid hydrazides (3a-f).thus, The results proved that the use of microwave and ultrasound techniques is much better than the classical methods, as it gave a higher yield, shorter reaction time, and the absence of the use of solvents. All newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, (1H & 13C) NMR spectral analysis and the corresponding reactions were monitored by TLC using the reported eluent.

- Development of Novel (+)-Nootkatone Thioethers Containing 1,3,4-Oxadiazole/Thiadiazole Moieties as Insecticide Candidates against Three Species of Insect Pests
-
To improve the insecticidal activity of (+)-nootkatone, a series of 42 (+)-nootkatone thioethers containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole moieties were prepared to evaluate their insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata Walker, Myzus persicae Sulzer, and Plutella xylostella Linnaeus. Insecticidal evaluation revealed that most of the title derivatives exhibited more potent insecticidal activities than the precursor (+)-nootkatone after the introduction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole on (+)-nootkatone. Among all of the (+)-nootkatone derivatives, compound 8c (1 mg/mL) exhibited the best growth inhibitory (GI) activity against M. separata with a final corrected mortality rate (CMR) of 71.4%, which was 1.54- and 1.43-fold that of (+)-nootkatone and toosendanin, respectively; 8c also displayed the most potent aphicidal activity against M. persicae with an LD50 value of 0.030 μg/larvae, which was closer to that of the commercial insecticidal etoxazole (0.026 μg/larvae); and 8s showed the best larvicidal activity against P. xylostella with an LC50 value of 0.27 mg/mL, which was 3.37-fold that of toosendanin and slightly higher than that of etoxazole (0.28 mg/mL). Furthermore, the control efficacy of 8s against P. xylostella in the pot experiments under greenhouse conditions was better than that of etoxazole. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed that in most cases, the introduction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole containing halophenyl groups at the C-13 position of (+)-nootkatone could obtain more active derivatives against M. separata, M. persicae, and P. xylostella than those containing other groups. In addition, toxicity assays indicated that these (+)-nootkatone derivatives had good selectivity to insects over nontarget organisms (normal mammalian NRK-52E cells and C. idella and N. denticulata fries) with relatively low toxicity. Therefore, the above results indicate that these (+)-nootkatone derivatives could be further explored as new lead compounds for the development of potential eco-friendly pesticides.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of honokiol derivatives bearing 3-((5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl)oxazol-2(3h)-ones as potential viral entry inhibitors against sars-cov-2
-
The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus infection has posed a serious danger to global health and the economy. However, SARS-CoV-2 medications that are specific and effective are still being developed. Honokiol is a bioactive component from Magnoliae officinalis Cortex with damp-drying effect. To develop new potent antiviral molecules, a series of novel honokiol analogues were synthesized by introducing various 3-((5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl)oxazol-2(3H)-ones to its molecule. In a SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus model, all honokiol derivatives were examined for their antiviral entry activities. As a result, 6a and 6p demonstrated antiviral entry effect with IC50 values of 29.23 and 9.82 μM, respectively. However, the parental honokiol had a very weak antiviral activity with an IC50 value more than 50 μM. A biolayer interfero-metry (BLI) binding assay and molecular docking study revealed that 6p binds to human ACE2 protein with higher binding affinity and lower binding energy than the parental honokiol. A competitive ELISA assay confirmed the inhibitory effect of 6p on SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD’s binding with ACE2. Importantly, 6a and 6p (TC50 > 100 μM) also had higher biological safety for host cells than honokiol (TC50 of 48.23 μM). This research may contribute to the discovery of potential viral entrance inhibitors for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, although 6p’s antiviral efficacy needs to be validated on SARS-CoV-2 viral strains in a biosafety level 3 facility.

- Design, synthesis, in vitro and in vivo evaluation against MRSA and molecular docking studies of novel pleuromutilin derivatives bearing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole linker
-
A class of pleuromutilin derivatives containing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole were designed and synthesized as potential antibacterial agents against Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The ultrasound-assisted reaction was proposed as a green chemistry method to synthesize 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole derivatives (intermediates 85–110). Among these pleuromutilin derivatives, compound 133 was found to be the strongest antibacterial derivative against MRSA (MIC = 0.125 μg/mL). Furthermore, the result of the time-kill curves displayed that compound 133 could inhibit the growth of MRSA in vitro quickly (- 4.36 log10 CFU/mL reduction). Then, compound 133 (- 1.82 log10 CFU/mL) displayed superior in vivo antibacterial efficacy than tiamulin (- 0.82 log10 CFU/mL) in reducing MRSA load in mice thigh model. Besides, compound 133 exhibited low cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cells. Molecular docking studies revealed that compound 133 was successfully localized in the binding pocket of 50S ribosomal subunit (ΔGb = -10.50 kcal/mol). The results indicated that these pleuromutilin derivatives containing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole might be further developed into novel antibiotics against MRSA.

Novel furan 6a-c, furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine 7a-f, 9, 10a-f, 12a,b, 14a-d and furo[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine 8a-f derivatives were designed based on their structural similarity to a previously described oxazole VEGFR-2 back pocket binding fragment. The designed compounds were synthesized and screened for their in vitro VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity where they exhibited good to moderate nanomolar inhibition with improved ligand efficiencies. 8b and 10c (IC50 = 38.72 ± 1.7 and 41.40 ± 1.8 nM, respectively) were equipotent to sorafenib and 6a, 6c, 7f, 8a, 8c, 10b, 10f, 12b, 14c and 14d showed good activity (IC50 = 43.31–98.31 nM). The furotriazolopyrimidines 8a-c and furopyrimidine derivative 10c were further evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) where 8b showed higher potency than sorafenib and resulted in cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase whereas 8c revealed good antiproliferative activity with cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. Moreover, 8a-c and 10c showed significant inhibitory effects on the invasion and migration of HUVECs. Molecular docking study was conducted to gain insight about the potential binding mode. The furo[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivatives 8b and 8c represent interesting starting point for antiangiogenic compounds based on their activity and favorable drug likeness profiles.

- Synthesis, molecular docking and evaluation of library of 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives as antimicrobial agents
-
Due to the increasing microbial resistance to antibacterial and antifungal drugs, the development of new antimicrobial agents is an urgent priority. In search of newer antimicrobial agents, a series of 4,5-disubstituted-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized from aromatic acids and substituted isothiocyanates. The in silico study was performed to study the binding interactions of the synthesized compounds with the active pocket of CYP51. Among the synthesized 3-mercapto-triazole derivatives, compounds 6r, 6s and 6u exhibited promising antimicrobial activity comparable to standard drugs. The results suggested that the structural modification to 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives could lead to promising antimicrobial scaffolds.

- Design, Synthesis, and Study of the Insecticidal Activity of Novel Steroidal 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles
-
A series of novel steroidal derivatives with a substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole structure was designed and synthesized, and the target compounds were evaluated for their insecticidal activity against five aphid species. Most of the tested compounds exhibited potent insecticidal activity against Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), Myzus persicae, and Aphis citricola. Compounds 20g and 24g displayed the highest activity against E. lanigerum, showing LC50 values of 27.6 and 30.4 μg/mL, respectively. Ultrastructural changes in the midgut cells of E. lanigerum were detected by transmission electron microscopy, indicating that these steroidal oxazole derivatives might exert their insecticidal activity by destroying the mitochondria and nuclear membranes in insect midgut cells. Furthermore, a field trial showed that compound 20g exhibited effects similar to those of the positive controls chlorpyrifos and thiamethoxam against E. lanigerum, reaching a control rate of 89.5% at a dose of 200 μg/mL after 21 days. We also investigated the hydrolysis and metabolism of the target compounds in E. lanigerum by assaying the activities of three insecticide-detoxifying enzymes. Compound 20g at 50 μg/mL exhibited inhibitory action on carboxylesterase similar to the known inhibitor triphenyl phosphate. The above results demonstrate the potential of these steroidal oxazole derivatives to be developed as novel pesticides.

- Design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of tricyclic derivatives as selective RXFP4 agonists
-
Relaxin family peptide receptors (RXFPs) are the potential therapeutic targets for neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic indications. Among them, RXFP3 and RXFP4 (formerly known as GPR100 or GPCR142) are homologous class A G protein-coupled receptors with short N-terminal domain. Ligands of RXFP3 or RXFP4 are only limited to endogenous peptides and their analogues, and no natural product or synthetic agonists have been reported to date except for a scaffold of indole-containing derivatives as dual agonists of RXFP3 and RXFP4. In this study, a new scaffold of tricyclic derivatives represented by compound 7a was disclosed as a selective RXFP4 agonist after a high-throughput screening campaign against a diverse library of 52,000 synthetic and natural compounds. Two rounds of structural modification around this scaffold were performed focusing on three parts: 2-chlorophenyl group, 4-hydroxylphenyl group and its skeleton including cyclohexane-1,3-dione and 1,2,4-triazole group. Compound 14b with a new skeleton of 7,9-dihydro-4H-thiopyrano[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-8(5H)-one was thus obtained. The enantiomers of 7a and 14b were also resolved with their 9-(S)-conformer favoring RXFP4 agonism. Compared with 7a, compound 9-(S)-14b exhibited 2.3-fold higher efficacy and better selectivity for RXFP4 (selective ratio of RXFP4 vs. RXFP3 for 9-(S)-14b and 7a were 26.9 and 13.9, respectively).

- Molecular docking studies, biological evaluation and synthesis of novel 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives
-
Abstract: Synthesis of bioactive heterocyclic compounds having effective biological activity is an essential research area for wide-ranging applications. In this study, a conventional methodology has been developed for the synthesis of a series of new 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives 4a–f. The purity and structure of the synthesized molecules were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. In addition, the prepared compounds were screened for their anti-proliferative activity against three human cancer cell lines including A549 (lung cancer), MCF7 (breast cancer) and SKOV3 (ovarian cancer) using MTT reduction assay. All the tested compounds demonstrated remarkable cytotoxic activity with IC50 values ranging from 3.02 to 15.37?μM. The heterocyclic compound bearing 3,4,5-trimethoxy moiety was found to be the most effective among the series displaying an IC50 of 3.02?μM specifically against the ovarian carcinoma cancer cell line (SKOV3). Moreover, Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining assay indicated that this compound can induce apoptosis in SKOV3 cells. Furthermore, cell cycle assay showed a significant cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in a dose-dependent manner for this compound. The molecular docking results was showed binding modes of potent compound 4d perfectly corroborated the suggestion of binding to the colchicine site. The entire results conclude that 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives can be synthesized by a green method for biological and pharmacological applications. Graphic abstract: New analogs of 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole potential derivatives for anti-proliferative activity were synthesized. Cytotoxic activity of all synthesized compounds was evaluated against tree human cancer cell lines: lung (A549), breast (MCF7) and ovarian (SKOV3).[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of phenyloxadiazole derivatives as potential antifungal agents against phytopathogenic fungi
-
Abstract: A novel series of picarbutrazox-inspired oxadiazole hybrids was synthesized and the derivatives’ biological activity against phytopathogenic fungi was investigated. The molecules were designed by retaining the active fragment of tetrazolyl phenyloxime ether of lead compound picarbutrazox, while introducing the potentially active oxadiazole-derived fragment. Bioassay results revealed that some of the title compounds showed potent in vivo antifungal activities to control cucumber downy mildew. Therefore, this novel oxadiazole phenyloxadiazole derivative can be used as a potential antifungal agent to control cucumber downy mildew and other phytopathogenic fungi for crop protection.

- Development of phenyltriazole thiol-based derivatives as highly potent inhibitors of DCN1-UBC12 interaction
-
Defective in cullin neddylation 1(DCN1) is a co-E3 ligase that is important for cullin neddylation. Dysregulation of DCN1 highly correlates with the development of various cancers. Herein, from the initial high-throughput screening, a novel hit compound 5a containing a phenyltriazole thiol core (IC50 value of 0.95 μM for DCN1-UBC12 interaction) was discovered. Further structure-based optimization leads to the development of SK-464 (IC50 value of 26 nM). We found that SK-464 not only directly bound to DCN1 in vitro, but also engaged cellular DCN1, suppressed the neddylation of cullin3, and hindered the migration and invasion of two DCN1-overexpressed squamous carcinoma cell lines (KYSE70 and H2170). These findings indicate that SK-464 may be a novel lead compound targeting DCN1-UBC12 interaction.

- Phosphine-free ruthenium complex-catalyzed synthesis of mono- Or dialkylated acyl hydrazides via the borrowing hydrogen strategy
-
Herein, we report a diaminocyclopentadienone ruthenium tricarbonyl complex-catalyzed synthesis of mono- or dialkylated acyl hydrazide compounds using the borrowing hydrogen strategy in the presence of various substituted primary and secondary alcohols as alkylating reagents. Deuterium labeling experiments confirm that the alcohols were the hydride source in this cascade process. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations unveil the origin and the threshold between the mono- and dialkylation.

- Ruthenium-Catalyzed Three-Component Alkylation: A Tandem Approach to the Synthesis of Nonsymmetric N,N-Dialkyl Acyl Hydrazides with Alcohols
-
The borrowing hydrogen strategy has been applied in the synthesis of nonsymmetric N,N-dialkylated acyl hydrazides via a tandem three-component reaction catalyzed by a phosphine free diaminocyclopentadienone ruthenium tricarbonyl complex. This strategy represents the first direct one-pot approach to nonsymmetric functionalized acyl hydrazides. Different aromatic acyl hydrazides underwent dialkylation with a variety of primary or secondary alcohols and methanol or ethanol as alkylating agents in mild reaction conditions and good yields. Deuterium labelling experiments suggested that the primary or secondary alcohol was the hydrogen source in this tandem process. DFT calculations show that the combination of the tandem mixed product cannot be perfectly explained neither structurally nor electronically, but might be dependent of the physical state of the aldehyde or ketone intermediate (gaz vs. liquid) at the reaction temperature. (Figure presented.).

- Synthesis, Antiproliferative and Antioxidant Activity of 3-Mercapto-1,2,4-Triazole Derivatives as Combretastatin A-4 Analogues
-
Two series of 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives containing alkoxy substituents different in size and position were synthesized and their structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were assessed for their antiproliferative activity against colon cancer cell line (SW480). The results indicated that the size and position of the alkoxy group significantly influenced the antiproliferative activity. The highest cancer cell growth inhibition values were observed for the compounds containing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl groups in their structures (57.74, 54.14 and 60.70% at 50 μM for compounds 5a, 12b and 14, respectively). The synthesized compounds were also subjected to DPPH protocol for evaluating the antioxidant activity. The results showed that all compounds had moderate to high levels of antioxidant capacity as compared to ascorbic acid as standard, the highest free radical scavenging capacity of 75% was observed for compound 4a at 50 μM.

- N-Amino-1,8-Naphthalimide is a Regenerated Protecting Group for Selective Synthesis of Mono-N-Substituted Hydrazines and Hydrazides
-
A new route to synthesis of various mono-N-substituted hydrazines and hydrazides by involving in a new C?N bond formation by using N-amino-1,8-naphthalimide as a regenerated precursor was invented. Aniline and phenylhydrazines are reproduced upon reacting these individually with 1,8-naphthalic anhydride followed by hydrazinolysis. The practicality and simplicity of this C?N dihalo alkanes; developed a synthon for bond formation protocol was exemplified to various hydrazines and hydrazides. N-amino-1,8-naphthalimide is suitable synthon for transformation for selective formation of mono-substituted hydrazine and hydrazide derivatives. Those are selective mono-amidation of hydrazine with acid halides; mono-N-substituted hydrazones from aldehydes; synthesis of N-aminoazacycloalkanes from acetohydrazide scaffold and inserted to hydroxy derivatives; distinct synthesis of N,N-dibenzylhydrazines and N-benzylhydrazines from benzyl halides; synthesis of N-amino-amino acids from α-halo esters. Ecofriendly reagent N-amino-1,8-naphthalimide was regenerated with good yields by the hydrazinolysis in all procedures.

- Synthesis, crystal structures, computational studies and α-amylase inhibition of three novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives
-
Oxadiazoles have broad range of biological applications and have been investigated widely by the scientific community. In this study, we report the synthesis, X-ray diffraction, density functional theory (DFT) and α-amylase inhibition activities of three 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (1–3). The compounds are synthesized in good yields (70–83%) and their structures are confirmed through different spectro-analytical techniques and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to validate not only X-ray results, but also to investigate the dispersion of charges and reactivity through frontier molecular orbitals and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) analyses. α-Amylase inhibition assay is performed in order to find out the enzyme inhibitory potential of the synthesized compounds (1–3). The low IC50 value (86.83 ± 0.23 μg/mL) of compound 2 reflects the potential α-amylase inhibitory activity of the compound as compared to others.

- 1,2,4-Triazole-conjugated 1,3,4-thiadiazole hybrid scaffolds: A potent ameliorant of carrageenan-induced inflammation by lessening proinflammatory mediators
-
Inflammation acts as an alarming signal for the progression of various biological complications. Various reports in the literature have revealed that heterocycle-containing synthetic compounds have a restorative capability against acute and chronic inflammatory stages. In the current study, we synthesized a series of 1,2,4-triazole-conjugated 1,3,4-thiadiazole hybrid scaffolds and evaluated their impacts against carrageenan-induced paw edema and proinflammatory markers in Wistar rats. Further, 3D QSAR study (three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationships), ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) profiling, and docking studies were performed to determine the possible mechanism of the action of the derivatives. The study shows that the most active derivatives, 13f and 13g, have optimal logP, a higher anti-inflammatory activity score, and poor metabolism at various sites of cytochrome P450. The docking studies recommended that the synthesized compounds have a similar affinity as the ligands A307, 63X, and S58 to interact with tumor necrosis factor-α, COX-1, and COX-2. So, these molecules will definitely hold a promise for the future drug development initiative.

- Design, synthesis, and in vitro evaluation of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazolecarbamothioate derivatives of Rivastigmine as selective inhibitors of BuChE
-
Rivastigmine has been prescribed for the therapy of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) symptoms. This drug is classified in the carbamate derivative group that has dual activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). According to the structure of Rivastigmine and its performance, a new series of 5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbamothioate compounds I–XI was synthesized using structure-based drug discovery approaches. For this purpose a set of these compounds were designed with computational docking method and their interactions with amino acid residues in the active sites of AChE and BuChE checked out. The structures of synthesized compounds were established by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The carbamoyl moiety of Rivastigmine structure was modified to carbamothioate and the effects of 1,3,4-oxadiazole heterocycle as a pharmacophoric nucleus were investigated. The potential of the synthesized compounds I–XI was evaluated against two most known agents of AD (AChE and BuChE) to determine their IC50 values. The results of the docking showed the range of binding affinity for the best poses of ten individual conformers for any compounds (I–XI) was between ?7.81 (VI) and ?6.75 (II) kcal/mol. The results of biological experiments displayed that most synthetic compounds (I–VIII) showed moderate to excellent selective activity range against BuChE (0.51–69.44 μM). In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of these compounds (I–XI) by MTT assay on human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cell line exhibited no activity against HDF. The compound VI [S-(5-(p-tolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) ethyl(methyl)carbamothioate] showed the most stable binding affinity (?7.81 kcal/mol) and the lowest IC50 value (0.51 μM) in comparison with Rivastigmine with 7.72 μM and Donepezil with 5.20 μM against BuChE.

- End-to-End Azido-Bridged Lanthanide Chain Complexes (Dy, Er, Gd, and Y) with a Pentadentate Schiff-Base [N3O2] Ligand: Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetism
-
The syntheses, structure and magnetic properties are reported for five novel 1D polymeric azido-bridged lanthanide complexes with the general formula {[Ln(DAPMBH)(N3)C2H5OH]C2H5OH}n where H2DAPMBH = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(4-methoxybenzoylhydrazone) - a new pentadentate pyridine-base [N3O2] ligand and Ln = Dy (1), Y0.930Dy0.070 (2), Er (3), Y0.923Er0.077 (4), and Gd (5). X-ray diffraction analysis of 1-5 show that the central lanthanide atoms are eight-coordinated with the N5O3 donor set originating from the ligand DAPMBH, one coordinated ethanol molecule and two end-to-end type N3- bridges connecting the metal centers into infinite chain. The [LnN5O3] coordination polyhedron can be regarded as a distorted dodecahedron (D2d). AC magnetic measurements revealed that compounds 1-4 show field-induced single-molecule magnet behavior, with estimated energy barriers Ueff ≈ 47-17 K. The experimental study of magnetic properties was complemented by theoretical analysis based on crystal-field calculations. Direct current magnetic susceptibility studies revealed marginally weak intrachain exchange interaction between Ln3+ ions mediated by the end-to-end azide bridging groups (J ≈ -0.015 cm-1 for 5). Comparative analysis of static and dynamic magnetic properties of magnetically concentrated (1, 3) and diluted (2, 4) Dy and Er compounds showed that, despite fascinating 1D azido-bridged chain structure, compounds 1 and 3 are not single-chain magnets; their magnetic behavior is largely due to single-ion magnetic anisotropy of individual Ln3+ ions.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of hydrazide-hydrazones as inhibitors of laccase from trametes versicolor
-
A series of hydrazide-hydrazones 1-3, the imine derivatives of hydrazides and aldehydes bearing benzene rings, were screened as inhibitors of laccase from Trametes versicolor. Laccase is a copper-containing enzyme which inhibition might prevent or reduce the activity of the plant pathogens that produce it in various biochemical processes. The kinetic and molecular modeling studies were performed and for selected compounds, the docking results were discussed. Seven 4-hydroxybenzhydrazide (4-HBAH) derivatives exhibited micromolar activity Ki = 24-674 μM with the predicted and desirable competitive type of inhibition. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that a slim salicylic aldehyde framework had a pivotal role in stabilization of the molecules near the substrate docking site. Furthermore, the presence of phenyl and bulky tert-butyl substituents in position 3 in salicylic aldehyde fragment favored strong interaction with the substrate-binding pocket in laccase. Both 3- and 4-HBAH derivatives containing larger 3-tert-butyl-5-methyl- or 3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-benzylidene unit, did not bind to the active site of laccase and, interestingly, acted as non-competitive (Ki = 32.0 μM) or uncompetitive (Ki = 17.9 μM) inhibitors, respectively. From the easily available laccase inhibitors only sodium azide, harmful to environment and non-specific, was over 6 times more active than the above compounds.

Twenty benzothiazole derivatives bearing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Among these compounds, 8h and 8l were appeared to have high radical scavenging efficacies as 0.05 ± 0.02 and 0.07 ± 0.03 mmol/L of IC50 values in ABTS+[rad] bioassay, respectively. In anti-inflammatory tests, compound 8h displayed good activity with 57.35% inhibition after intraperitoneal administration, which was more potent than the reference drug (indomethacin). Molecular modeling studies were performed to investigate the binding mode of the representative compound 8h into COX-2 enzyme. In vitro enzyme study implied that compound 8h exerted its anti-inflammatory activity through COX-2 inhibition.

In this work, a series of the rhodamine 6G based derivatives 5a-5g, were synthesized. The structural framework of the synthesized compounds was established by using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and LC-MS analytical methods. The spectroscopic properties of the target compounds were determined by using absorption and fluorescence study in four different solvents. Furthermore, the synthesized derivatives were assessed for in-vitro screening against jack bean urease inhibition and in-silico molecular docking study. The result reveals that all the compounds exhibit good urease inhibitory activity against this enzyme but among the series, the compound 5a & 5c with an IC50 values of 0.1108 ± 0.0038 μM and 0.1136 ± 0.0295 μM shows to be most auspicious inhibitory activity compared to a standard drug (Thiourea) having IC50 value 4.7201 ± 0.0546 μM. Subsequently, the molecular docking experiment was analysed to distinguish the enzyme-inhibitor binding interaction.

- Synthesis of isoquinolones by visible-light-induced deaminative [4+2] annulation reactions
-
Herein a metal-free approach for the synthesis of isoquinolone derivatives by means of photoinitiated deaminative [4+2] annulation of alkynes and N-amidepyridinium salts is described. This protocol exhibits a broad scope and good functional group tolerance and regioselectivity under benign reaction conditions. Preliminary studies suggest that the critical amide radical is derived from the photocatalytic cleavage of the N-N bond of the N-amidepyridinium salt, which adds to the triple bond of the alkyne and undergoes the annulation process to afford the desired isoquinolones.

Targeting histone deacetylases (HDACs) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) is a very promising approach for cancer treatment. This manuscript describes the design, synthesis, in vitro pharmacological profile, and molecular modeling of a novel class of N-acylhydrazone (NAH) derivatives that act as HDAC6/8 and PI3Kα dual inhibitors. The surprising selectivity for PI3Kα may be related to differences in the conformation in the active site. Cellular studies showed that these compounds act in HDAC6 inhibition and the PI3/K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The compounds that are selective for inhibition of HDAC6/8 and inhibit PI3Kα show potential for the treatment of cancer.

New N-4-piperazinyl ciprofloxacin-triazole hybrids 6a-o were prepared and characterized. The in vitro antimycobacterial activity revealed that compound 6a experienced promising antimycobacterial activity against Mycobactrium smegmatis compared with the reference isoniazide (INH). Additionally, compound 6a exhibited broad spectrum antibacterial activity against all the tested strains either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria compared with the reference ciprofloxacin. Also, compounds 6g and 6i displayed considerable antifungal activity compared with the reference ketoconazole. DNA cleavage assay of the highly active compounds 6c and 6h showed a good correlation between the Mycobactrium cleaved DNA gyrase assay and their in vitro antimycobactrial activity. Moreover, molecular modeling studies were done for the designed ciprofloxacin derivatives to predict their binding modes towards Topoisomerase II enzyme (PDB: 5bs8).

Abstract: Herein we report the synthesis of new N-4-piperazinyl thiadiazole and oxadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives and their antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities. Although thiadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives compound showed broad spectrum antibacterial activity against all the tested strains either Gram-positive or Gram-negative organisms, the oxadiazole derivatives exhibited weaker antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities than thiadiazole derivatives against most of the tested strains compared with the reference ciprofloxacin. Moreover, the antimycobacterial screening revealed that compounds which containing thiadiazole scaffold potently inhibited Mycobacterium smegmatis at MIC of 1.56 and 3.13, respectively, and modestly inhibited the drug-resistant strains. DNA cleavage assay revealed that thiadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives inhibited supercoil relaxation, albeit to a lesser extent than ciprofloxacin, and it also increased the amount of nicked substrate produced.

Lipophilic 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were obtained through the Mannich reactions between 5-(aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol and alkylated or acylated amines. The in vitro cytotoxic effects were evaluated against 4T1– mammary carcinoma and CT26 – colon cancer cells. The best results were obtained for the 1,3,4-oxadiazole coupled to alkylated piperazine with 10–14 carbon chain moiety, with IC50 values ranging from 1.6 to 3.55μΜ for the 4T1 cell line, and from 1.6 to 3.9 μM for the CT26.WT cell line, and selectivity index up to 19. The most potent compounds were investigated with AnnexinV and PI staining as indicative of apoptosis induction.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-(phenoxymethyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as anti-breast cancer agents
-
Structural based molecular docking approach revealed the findings of 2-(phenoxymethyl) -5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. The compounds (7a-o) were synthesized and characterized well by using conventional methods. The compounds, 7b and 7m were reconfirmed through single crystal XRD analysis. The synthesized compounds (7a-o) were evaluated their antiproliferative activities against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453. Furthermore, Lipinski's rule of five and pharmacokinetic properties were predicted for the test compounds. These results demonstrate that the compounds 7b and 7d exhibit more potent cytotoxicity and 7d exhibits dose-dependent activity and reduced cell viability. Further, the mechanism of action for the induced apoptosis was observed through morphological changes and western blotting analysis. These findings may furnish the lead for further development.

- 5-Aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthioalkanoic Acids: A Highly Potent New Class of Inhibitors of Rho/Myocardin-Related Transcription Factor (MRTF)/Serum Response Factor (SRF)-Mediated Gene Transcription as Potential Antifibrotic Agents for Scleroderma
-
Through a phenotypic high-throughput screen using a serum response element luciferase promoter, we identified a novel 5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthiopropionic acid lead inhibitor of Rho/myocardin-related transcription factor (MRTF)/serum response factor (SRF)-mediated gene transcription with good potency (IC50 = 180 nM). We were able to rapidly improve the cellular potency by 5 orders of magnitude guided by sharply defined and synergistic SAR. The remarkable potency and depth of the SAR, as well as the relatively low molecular weight of the series, suggests, but does not prove, that binding to the unknown molecular target may be occurring through a covalent mechanism. The series nevertheless has no observable cytotoxicity up to 100 μM. Ensuing pharmacokinetic optimization resulted in the development of two potent and orally bioavailable anti-fibrotic agents that were capable of dose-dependently reducing connective tissue growth factor gene expression in vitro as well as significantly reducing the development of bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis in mice in vivo.

- Targeting malaria and leishmaniasis: Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of novel pyrazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids. Part II
-
In continuance with earlier reported work, an extension has been carried out by the same research group. Mulling over the ongoing condition of resistance to existing antimalarial agents, we had reported synthesis and antimalarial activity of certain pyrazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid compounds. Bearing previous results in mind, our research group ideated to design and synthesize some more derivatives with varied substitutions of acetophenone and hydrazide. Following this, derivatives 5a–r were synthesized and tested for antimalarial efficacy by schizont maturation inhibition assay. Further, depending on the literature support and results of our previous series, certain potent compounds (5f, 5n and 5r) were subjected to Falcipain-2 inhibitory assay. Results obtained for these particular compounds further strengthened our hypothesis. Here, in this series, compound 5f having unsubstituted acetophenone part and a furan moiety linked to oxadiazole ring emerged as the most potent compound and results were found to be comparable to that of the most potent compound (indole bearing) of previous series. Additionally, depending on the available literature, compounds (5a–r) were tested for their antileishmanial potential. Compounds 5a, 5c and 5r demonstrated dose-dependent killing of the promastigotes. Their IC50 values were found to be 33.3 ± 1.68, 40.1 ± 1.0 and 19.0 ± 1.47 μg/mL respectively. These compounds (5a, 5c and 5r) also had effects on amastigote infectivity with IC50 of 44.2 ± 2.72, 66.8 ± 2.05 and 73.1 ± 1.69 μg/mL respectively. Further target validation was done using molecular docking studies. Acute oral toxicity studies for most active compounds were also performed.

- Design and synthesis of new norfloxacin-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids as antibacterial agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
-
Toward the search of new antibacterial agents to control methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a class of new norfloxacin-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids were designed and synthesized. Antibacterial activities against drug-sensitive bacteria S. aureus and clinical drug resistant isolates of MRSA were evaluated. Compound 5k exhibited excellent antibacterial activities against S. aureus (MIC: 2 μg/mL) and MRSA1–3 (MIC: 0.25–1 μg/mL). The time-kill kinetics demonstrated that compound 5k had an advantage over commonly used antibiotics vancomycin in killing S. aureus and MRSA. Moreover, compound 5k could inhibit the bacteria and destroy their membranes in a short time, and showed very low cytotoxicity to NRK-52E cells. Some interesting structure-activity relationships (SARs) were also discussed. These results indicated that these norfloxacin-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids could be further developed into new antibacterial agents against MRSA.

-
Four novel Schiff bases 4-(2,4-dinitrobenzylideneamino)-5-m-tolyl-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione) (F1), 4-(2,4-dinitrobenzylideneamino)-5-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione) (F2), 4-(2,4-dinitrobenzylideneamino)-5-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione) (F3) and 4-(2,4-dinitrobenzylideneamino)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione) (F4) were prepared as new antifungal compounds contributing 4-Amino-5-Substituent-1,2,4-Triazole-3-Thione and 2,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde via a condensation reaction under the mild conditions with excellent yields. The structures of compounds were characterized by elemental analysis (EA), FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra and X-ray analysis. In addition, the compounds were screened for in vitro biological activity, and the bioassay results indicated that the newly synthesized compounds showed different in vitro antifungal activities against five plant fungi. Particularly, compound F3 (EC50 = 11.16 mg/L) was found to be the most active respectively against Wheat gibberellic, even more effective than Fluconazole (EC50 = 16.03 mg/L). The active compounds were further evaluated for enzyme inhibition efficacy against the receptor CYP51 by docking. Meanwhile, an explicit surface analysis on compounds were carried out theoretically using the wave function analyzer (Multiwfn 3.4.1 software) in order to study the reactivity of the compounds.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel disulfides incorporating 1,3,4-thiadiazole scaffold as promising antitumor agents
-
In the present study, fourteen 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives containing disulfide group were prepared. The resulting compounds 7a–7n were identified by IR, NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. Their antiproliferative properties in vitro were studied employing standard CCK-8 assay against SMMC-7721, MCF-7, and A549 lines. Bioassay indicated that some compounds showed stronger antitumor effects than reference drugs PX-12 and 5-fluorouracil. Among these screened compounds, compound 7h showed excellent biological activities in inhibiting SMMC-7721 cell proliferation with IC50 at 1.93 ± 0.08 μM. Compounds 7k and 7i manifested highly effective growth inhibitory activity versus MCF-7 cells, with IC50 at 3.04 ± 0.09 and 3.54 ± 0.17 μM, respectively. For A549 cells, compound 7m was found to have the highest antitumor potency with IC50 at 3.67 ± 0.13 μM.

- Rapid and Atom Economic Synthesis of Isoquinolines and Isoquinolinones by C–H/N–N Activation Using a Homogeneous Recyclable Ruthenium Catalyst in PEG Media
-
Herein, we report an atom-efficient, rapid, green, and sustainable approach to synthesize isoquinolines and isoquinolinones using a homogeneous recyclable ruthenium catalyst in PEG Media assisted by microwave energy. Dibenzoylhydrazine was used for C–H/N–N activation reactions for the first time in combination with ketazine as oxidizing directing groups for annulation reactions with internal alkynes. The developed protocol is environmentally benign due to significantly shortened times with an easy extraction method, higher atom economy, external oxidant and silver or antimony salt free conditions, applicability to a gram scale synthesis, use of biodegradable solvent and wide substrate scope with higher product yields. Moreover, it is worth noting that the established methodology allowed reuse of the catalytic system for up to five successive runs with minimal loss in activity.
