- New imidazo[2,1-: B] thiazole-based aryl hydrazones: Unravelling their synthesis and antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing potential
-
Herein, we have designed and synthesized new imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-based aryl hydrazones (9a-w) and evaluated their anti-proliferative potential against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, 9i and 9m elicited promising cytotoxicity against the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values of 1.65 and 1.12 μM, respectively. Cell cycle analysis revealed that 9i and 9m significantly arrest MDA-MB-231 cells in the G0/G1 phase. In addition, detailed biological studies such as annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide, DCFH-DA, JC-1 and DAPI staining assays revealed that 9i and 9m triggered apoptosis in MDA-MB-213 cells. Overall, the current work demonstrated the cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing potential of 9i and 9m in breast cancer cells and suggested that they could be explored as promising antiproliferative leads in the future.

- Regioselective Ring Expansion of 3-Ylideneoxindoles with Tosyldiazomethane (TsDAM): A Metal-Free and Greener Approach for the Synthesis of Pyrazolo-[1,5- c]quinazolines
-
An efficient, metal-free approach to access pyrazolo-[1,5-c]quinazolines with 3-ylideneoxindoles and tosyldiazomethane (TsDAM) under mild aqueous reaction conditions has been developed and the solvent involvement in the present reaction has also been explored for the first time. This greener approach involves 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, regioselective ring expansion, followed by the elimination of tosyl group with aqueous base in a single operation, and the product can be isolated in high purity without column chromatographic separation. The method is also compatible with a large variety of functional groups, providing good to excellent yields in water, thus resulting in a decrease of environmental impact in the pharmaceutical industry.

- Design, synthesis and molecular docking of new N-4-piperazinyl ciprofloxacin-triazole hybrids with potential antimicrobial activity
-
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).

- 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.

- Synthesis, molecular docking, antimicrobial evaluation, and DNA cleavage assay of new thiadiazole/oxadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives
-
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.

- Synthesis and evaluation of novel 18F-labeled quinazoline derivatives with low lipophilicity for tumor PET imaging
-
Four novel 18F-labeled quinazoline derivatives with low lipophilicity, [18F]4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline ([18F]I), [18F]4-(3-((4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-7-methoxyquinazolin-6-yl)oxy)propyl)morpholine ([18F]II), [18F]4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-7-methoxy-6-(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazoline ([18F]III), and [18F]4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-6,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazoline ([18F]IV), were synthesized via a 2-step radiosynthesis procedure with an overall radiochemical yield of 10% to 38% (without decay correction) and radiochemical purities of >98%. The lipophilicity and stability of labeled compounds were tested in vitro. The log P values of the 4 radiotracers ranged from 0.52 to 1.07. We then performed ELISA to measure their affinities to EGFR-TK; ELISA assay results indicated that each inhibitor was specifically bounded to EGFR-TK in a dose-dependent manner. The EGFR-TK autophosphorylation IC50 values of [18F]I, [18F]II, [18F]III, and [18F]IV were 7.732, 0.4698, 0.1174, and 0.1176?μM, respectively. All labeled compounds were evaluated via cellular uptake and blocking studies in HepG2 cell lines in vitro. Cellular uptake and blocking experiment results indicated that [18F]I and [18F]III had excellent cellular uptake at 120-minute postinjection in HepG2 carcinoma cells (51.80?±?3.42%ID/mg protein and 27.31?±?1.94%ID/mg protein, respectively). Additionally, biodistribution experiments in S180 tumor-bearing mice in vivo indicated that [18F]I had a very fast clearance in blood and a relatively high uptake ratio of tumor to blood (4.76) and tumor to muscle (1.82) at 60-minute postinjection. [18F]III had a quick clearance in plasma, and its highest uptake ratio of tumor to muscle was 2.55 at 15-minute postinjection. These experimental results and experiences were valuable for the further exploration of novel radiotracers of quinazoline derivatives.

- New 1,2,4-triazole-Chalcone hybrids induce Caspase-3 dependent apoptosis in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells
-
A series of novel 1, 2, 4-triazole/chalcone hybrids was prepared and identified with different spectroscopic techniques. The prepared compounds showed remarkable cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines. Compounds 24, 25, 27, 41 and 47 had shown the highest cytotoxicity among the tested compounds against human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells with IC50 ranging from 4.4 to 16.04 μM compared to cisplatin with IC50 of 15.3 μM. Flow cytometric analysis of the tested compounds showed an increase in the number of apoptotic cells in a dose-dependent manner. The further mechanistic study demonstrated that 1, 2, 4-triazole-chalcone hybrids induced apoptosis via increased level of proapoptotic protein Bax, release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and activation of caspase-3/8/9 proteins. However, general caspase inhibition by the pan-caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-fmk, significantly decreased the apoptosis induced by the tested hybrids, suggesting dependency of apoptosis on activation of the caspase-3 pathway.

- Facile Synthesis of Novel Perfluorocarbon-Modulated 4-Anilinoquinazoline Analogues
-
4-Anilinoquinazoline analogues stand out among many kinds of small molecules that inhibit the tyrosine kinase activities of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), thus serving as significant molecular targets for anticancer drug design. Herein, a series of novel perfluorocarbon (PFC) modulated 4-anilinoquinazolines were designed and prepared straightforwardly by nucleophilic substitution reaction of various anilinoquinazolines and PFC-derived methanesulfonate. In the presence of base, the reaction proceeded smoothly to afford a wide range of 4-anilinoquinazolines with different substituents on aniline moiety in good to high yields. Furthermore, the PFC-modified analogues of gefitinib and erlotinib were also obtained in 93% and 90% respectively, which may have potential for developing new inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase and fluorinated contrast agents (CA) for 19F MRI.

- Design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and 3D-QSAR analysis of podophyllotoxin–dioxazole combination as tubulin targeting anticancer agents
-
The advancement of cancer-fighting drugs has never been a simple linear process. Those drug design professionals begin to find inspiration from the nature after failing to find the ideal products by creative drug design and high-throughput screening. To obtain new molecules for inhibiting tubulin, podophyllotoxin was adopted as the leading compound and 1,3,4-oxadiazole was brought in to the C-4 site of podophyllotoxin in this research. A series of seventeen podophyllotoxin-derived esters have been achieved and then evaluated their antitumor activities against four different cancer cell lines: A549, MCF-7, HepG2, and HeLa. Among all the compounds, compound 7c showed the best antiproliferating properties with IC50?=?2.54?±?0.82?μm against MCF-7 cancer cell line. It was obvious that the content of ROS grew significantly in MCF-7 in a way depending on the dosage. The time- and dose-dependent cell cycle assays revealed that compound 7c could apparently block cell cycle in the phase of G2/M along with the upregulation of cyclin A2 and CDK2 protein. According to further studies, confocal microscopy experiment has certified that compound 7c could restrain cancer from growing by blocking the polymerization of microtubule. Meanwhile, compound 7c could be ideally integrated with the colchicine site of tubulin. In future, it would be feasible to selectively design tubulin inhibitors with the help of 3D-QSAR. This means that it is hopeful to develop compound 7c as a potential agent against cancer due to its biological characteristics.

- Acid promoted C-C bond oxidative cleavage of β-O-4 and β-1 lignin models to esters over a copper catalyst
-
Depolymerisation of lignin to aromatics is a challenging task. We herein report that a Cu(OAc)2/BF3·OEt2 catalyst is effective in simultaneously cleaving C-C bonds in β-1 and β-O-4 ketones, yielding esters and phenols. In-depth studies show that C-H bond activation is the rate determining step for C-C bond cleavage. BF3·OEt2 promotes the reaction via activating the β-C-H bond. This study offers the potential to obtain aromatic esters from lignin.

- Chemoselective dehydrogenative esterification of aldehydes and alcohols with a dimeric rhodium(II) catalyst
-
Dehydrogenative cross-coupling of aldehydes with alcohols as well as dehydrogentive cross-coupling of primary alcohols to produce esters have been developed using a Rh-terpyridine catalyst. The catalyst demonstrates broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, affording esters highly selectively. The high chemoselectivity of the catalyst stems from its preference for dehydrogenation of benzylic alcohols over aliphatic ones. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the active catalyst is a dimeric Rh(ii) species, operating via a mechanism involving metal-base-metal cooperativity.

- Synthesis and evaluation of novel F-18 labeled 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives: Potential PET imaging agents for tumor detection
-
Three novel 18F-labeled 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives, N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-6-(2-[18F]fluoroethoxy)-7- methoxyquinazolin-4-amine([18F]1), N-(3-ethynylphenyl)-6-(2-[ 18F]fluoroethoxy)-7-methoxyquinazolin-4-amine([18F]2), and N-(3-bromophenyl)-6-(2-[18F]fluoroethoxy)-7-methoxyquinazolin-4- amine([18F]3) were synthesized and radiolabeled by two-step reaction with overall radiochemical yield of 21-24% (without decay corrected). Then we carried out their biodistribution experiments in S180 tumor-bearing mice. Results showed that they had certain concentration accumulation in tumor and fast clearance from muscle and blood. It was encouraging that [18F]3 was competitive among three 18F-labeled 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives in some aspects such as tumor/muscle uptake ratio reaching 7.70 at 60 min post-injection, tumor/blood uptake ratio reaching 6.61 at 120 min post-injection. So we compared radioactivity characteristics of [ 18F]3 with those of [18F]-FDG and L-[18F]-FET in the same animal model. The absolute radioactivity uptake of [18F]3 in tumor reached 3.31 at 60 min p.i., which was slightly higher than [ 18F]-FDG (2.16) and L-[18F]-FET (2.75) at the same time phase. For [18F]3, tumor/muscle uptake ratio peaked 7.70 at 60 min, which was obviously superior to those of [18F]-FDG and L-[ 18F]-FET at all time points. The tumor/brain uptake ratios of [ 18F]3 were 10.36, 17.42, 41.11 at 30 min, 60 min and 120 min post-injection, respectively, and are much higher than those of L-[ 18F] FET (2.54, 2.92 and 2.95) and [18F]-FDG (0.61, 1.02 and 1.33) at the same time points. All these results indicate that [ 18F]3 is promising to become a potential PET tumor imaging agent.

The results of antimicrobial studies indicated that 3-phenylacrylic acid-(3-hydroxybenzylidene) -hydrazide, 16, was the most effective as it showed both bactericidal and fungicidal properties and other compounds possessed bacteriostatic/fungistatic activity. The multi-target QSAR model demonstrated that the topological parameter, Balaban topological index (J) is effective in describing the antimicrobial activity of synthesized substituted hydrazides.

- Flavone-based novel antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic agents
-
The hybrid congeners 62-90 of 6- and 7-hydroxyflavones with aminopropanol have been synthesized and evaluated for their antidiabetic activity in sucrose-challenged low-dosed streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and db/db mice. The optical enantiomers 70a, 70b, 90a, and 90b of two congeners 70 and 90 exhibiting consistent antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic activities were also prepared, and their antidiabetic activity results indicate its association mainly with S isomers. These compounds also lower cholesterol and TG profiles while improving high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to CHOL ratio in db/db mice. The bioavailability of compound 70 and its isomer varies between 27 and 29% whereas that of the more polar compound 90a is poor as determined in rat by oral and intraperitoneal administrations.

- Synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of some new phthalazinylpiperazine derivatives
-
A new series of 1,4-disubstituted phthalazinylpiperazine derivatives 7a-f, 12a-f and 20a-f were designed and synthesized in order to develop potent and selective antitumor agents. The target compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activities against A549, HT-29 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines in vitro. Among them, compounds 7a-f exhibited excellent selectivity for MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values ranging from 0.013 μM to 0.079 μM. The most promising compound, 7e (IC50 = 2.19 μM, 2.19 μM, 0.013 μM), was 9.3, 10, and 4.9 × 103 times more active than vatalanib (IC50 = 20.27 μM, 21.96 μM, 63.90 μM), respectively. A new series of 1,4-disubstituted phthalazinylpiperazine derivatives 7a-f, 12a-f and 20a-f were designed and synthesized, and their cytotoxic activities against A549, HT-29 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines in vitro were compared to that of vatalanib.

-
A series of new 2-chloropyridine derivatives possessing 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were synthesized. Antiproliferative assay results indicated that compounds 6o and 6u exhibited the most potent activity against gastric cancer cell SGC-7901, which was more potent than the positive control. Especially, compound 6o exhibited significant telomerase inhibitory activity (IC 50 = 2.3 ± 0.07 μM), which was comparable to the positive control ethidium bromide. Docking simulation was performed to position compound 6o into the active site of telomerase (3DU6) to determine the probable binding model.

- Fenbufen based 3-[5-(substituted aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-1-(biphenyl-4-yl)propan-1-ones as safer antiinflammatory and analgesic agents
-
The synthesis of a series of 3-[5-(substituted aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-1-(biphenyl-4-yl)propan-1-ones derived from 4-oxo-4-(biphenyl-4-yl)butanoic acid (fenbufen) is described. The structures of these compounds were supported by IR, 1H NMR, mass spectrometric data and elemental analysis. These compounds were tested for their antiinflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation actions. A few compounds were found to have very good antiinflammatory activity in carrageenan induced rat paw edema test, while a fair number of compounds showed significant analgesic activity in acetic acid induced writhing test. The newly synthesized compounds showed very low ulcerogenic action with reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content, which is one of the byproducts of lipid peroxidation. In vitro COX-1 and COX-2 isozyme inhibition studies were also performed on some of the selected compounds. Compound 4i and 4h were found to be more selective towards COX-2 as indicated by COX-2 selectivity index of 36.06 and 29.05 (COX-2 IC50 = 1.5 μM and 1.8 μM) respectively.

- The synthesis and mesomorphism of di-, tetra- and hexa-catenar liquid crystals based on 2,2′-bipyridine
-
2,2′-Bipyridines are known to coordinate to a wide variety of metal centres. In this paper, liquid-crystalline two-chained (dicatenar), four-chained (tetracatenar) and six-chained (hexacatenar) bipyridines are synthesised and their mesomorphism is described. For the tetracatenar bipyridines, a full homologous series, from tetramethoxy to tetratetradecyloxy, was synthesised, and the phase diagram showed a classic progression from nematic and smectic C phases at short chain length, through a cubic phase to a columnar phase.

- Thermal and photochemical decomposition pathways of trinitromethylarenes. part II. The effects of ethanol on the photolysis reactions of some alkoxy- and dialkoxyarenes in the presence of tetranitromethane. enhancement of adduct and trinitromethyl substitution product formation
-
The photolysis of the charge transfer (CT) complex of tetranitromethane with 1-methoxynaphthalene, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, 1,2-methylenedioxybenzene or 2-methylanisole is reported for dichloromethane, acetonitrile, dichloromethane-ethanol and acetonitrile-ethanol solvent systems. The effects of adding ethanol (8% v/v ? 1.4 mol dm-3) to dichloromethane or acetonitrile as reaction solvents include: (i) the stabilization of alkoxytrinitro-methylarenes, thus reducing their normal tendency for decomposition according to ArC (NO2)3→ArCOOH→ArNO2, (ii) a reduction in the nucleophilicity of trinitromethanide ion, and (iii) changes in the regioselectivity of trinitromethanide ion attack on the radical cations of alkoxyaromatic compounds away from attack ipso to the alkoxy substituent. Adducts are also stabilized, as shown by the photolysis of the CT complex of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene-tetranitromethane in dichloromethane-ethanol (8% v/v) which gives the epimeric 1,4-dimethoxy-3-nitro-6-trinitromethylcyclohexa-1,4-dienes and 1,4-dimethoxy-2-trinitromethylbenzene, in addition to 1,4-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzene. The adducts are detected also among the products of photolysis reactions in neat dichloromethane or acetonitrile. Acta Chemica Scandinavica 1997.

- Synthesis of dibenzoylmethane derivatives and inhibition of mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium
-
Twenty dibenzoylmethanes with methyl, methoxy, bromo, chloro, or fluoro substitution on either one or both benzene rings were synthesized and assayed for inhibition of the mutagenicity of 2-nitrofluorene in S. typhimurium TA98. 2,2-Dimethoxy, 3,3-dimethoxy and 3,3,4,4-tetramethoxydibenzoylmethane was as active as dibenzoylmethane. None of the halogen-substituted dibenzoylmethanes were active. These results demonstrate that dibenzoylmethanes can inhibit the mutagenicity of 2-nitrofluorene, and that modifications made on the benzene rings of dibenzoylmethane cannot enhance the antimutagenicity of this parent compound.
