- Identification of phenylcarbamoylazinane-1,3,4-oxadiazole amides as lipoxygenase inhibitors with expression analysis and in silico studies
-
In search for new anti-inflammatory agents that inhibit the enzymes of arachidonic acid pathway as the drug targets, the present article describes the screening of 1,3,4-oxadiazole analogues against lipoxygenase (LOX) enzyme. The work is based on the synthesis of new N-alkyl/aralky/aryl derivatives (6a-o) of 2-(4-phenyl-5-(1-phenylcarbamoylpiperidine)-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazol-3-ylthio)acetamide which were obtained by the reaction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole (3) with various electrophiles (5a-o), in KOH. The synthesized analogues showed potent to moderate inhibitory activity against the soybean 15-LOX enzyme; especially 6g, 6b, 6a and 6l displayed the potent inhibitory potential with IC50 values 7.15 ± 0.26, 9.32 ± 0.42, 15.83 ± 0.45 & 18.37 ± 0.53 μM, respectively, while excellent to moderate inhibitory profiles with IC50 values in the range of 26.13–98.21 μM were observed from the compounds 6k, 6m, 6j, 6o, 6h, 6f, 6n and 6c. Most of the active compounds exhibited considerable cell viability against blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) at 0.25 mM by MTT assay except 6f, 6h, 6k and 6m which showed around 50% cell viability. Flow cytometry studies of the selected compounds 6a, 6j and 6n revealed that these caused 79.5–88.51% early apoptotic changes in MNCs compared with 4.26% for control quercetin at their respective IC50 values. The relative expression of 5-LOX gene was monitored in MNCs after treatment with these three molecules and all down-regulated the enzyme activity. In silico ADME and molecular docking studies further supported these studies of oxadiazole derivatives and considered it as potential ‘lead’ compounds in drug discovery and development.

- Janus particles self-assembled from a small organic atypical asymmetric gemini surfactant
-
A series of atypical asymmetric gemini surfactants with an amphiphilic carbonate group (-O-CO-O-) have been prepared. Some of these compounds could self-assemble in water into gourd-shaped Janus particles (JPs). Initial results suggested that the formation of JPs was highly likely to be related to their atypical gemini surfactant structure. To our knowledge, this is the first report on JPs that are self-assembled from a single kind of small organic molecule. We believe that our results will be utilized in many fields.

- Antibacterial and enzyme inhibition screening of some new acetamide and azomethine derivatives
-
The synthesis of poly-functional moieties as one unit has been under consideration by the synthetic chemists to search out new potent molecules. 2-Chlorobenzoic acid (1) was converted to 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-thiol (4) through a series of steps. This nucleophile was attached with different electrophiles, prepared by the reaction of aryl/alkyl amines with 2-bromoacetylbromide, in NaH/DMF to synthesize N-substituted-2-((5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2- yl)sulfanyl)acetamide, 7a-f. The molecule 4 was stepped to ethyl ester and carbohydrazide. The carbohydrazide was made to react with aryl carboxaldehydes in methanol to synthesize N'-substituted-2-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-ylthio)acetohydrazide, 11a-i. The structures of all the molecules were corroborated through IR, 1H-NMR and EI-MS spectral data. Both the series were screened for antibacterial and enzyme inhibition activity.

- N-substituted derivatives of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-2- sulfanyl acetamide as valuable bioactive compounds
-
In the described research work, a new series of N-substituted derivatives of 5-(4- chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-yl-2-sulfanyl acetamide has been synthesized. The synthesis was carried out by converting 4-chlorobenzoic acid (1) into ethyl 4-chlorobenzoate (2), 4- chlorobenzohydrazide (3) and then 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-thiol (4) respectively. The target molecules 6a-o were synthesized by reacting compound 4 with different N-alkyl/aryl substituted 2-bromoacetamide (5a-o) in equimolar ratios of using DMF and sodium hydride (NaH). The structure of all the synthesized compounds was confirmed by spectral data like EI-MS, IR and 1H-NMR. The compounds were also analysed for antimicrobial & hemolytic activity and most of them were found active against the selected microbial species at variable extent relative to reference standards. But 6f and 6o were the active against the selected panel of microbes and former was most potent one. This series revealed less toxicity and may consider for further biological screening and application trial except 6g and 6j, exhibiting high cytotoxicity.

- Synthesis and invitro Evaluation of West Nile Virus Protease Inhibitors Based on the 2-{6-[2-(5-Phenyl-4H-{1,2,4]triazol-3-ylsulfanyl)acetylamino]benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl}acetamide Scaffold
-
In recent years, clinical symptoms resulting from West Nile virus (WNV) infection have worsened in severity, with an increased frequency in neuroinvasive diseases among the elderly. As there are presently no successful therapies against WNV for use in humans, continual efforts to develop new chemotherapeutics against this virus are highly desired. The viral NS2B-NS3 protease is a promising target for viral inhibition due to its importance in viral replication and its unique substrate preference. In this study, a WNV NS2B-NS3 protease inhibitor with a 2-{6-[2-(5-phenyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-ylsulfanyl)acetylamino]benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl}acetamide scaffold was identified during screening. Optimization of this initial hit by synthesis and screening of a focused compound library with this scaffold led to the identification of a novel uncompetitive inhibitor (1a24, IC50=3.4±0.2μM) of the WNV NS2B-NS3 protease. Molecular docking of 1a24 into the WNV protease showed that the compound interferes with productive interactions of the NS2B cofactor with the NS3 protease and is an allosteric inhibitor of the WNV NS3 protease.

- Structure-activity relationships in the binding of chemically derivatized CD4 to gp120 from human immunodeficiency virus
-
The first step in HIV infection is the binding of the envelope glycoprotein gp120 to the host cell receptor CD4. An interfacial "Phe43 cavity" in gp120, adjacent to residue Phe43 of gp120-bound CD4, has been suggested as a potential target for therapeutic intervention. We designed a CD4 mutant (D1D2F43C) for site-specific coupling of compounds for screening against the cavity. Altogether, 81 cysteine-reactive compounds were designed, synthesized, and tested. Eight derivatives exceeded the affinity of native D1D2 for gp120. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) for derivatized CD4 binding to gp120 revealed significant plasticity of the Phe43 cavity and a narrow entrance. The primary contacts for compound recognition inside the cavity were found to be van der Waals interactions, whereas hydrophilic interactions were detected in the entrance. This first SAR on ligand binding to an interior cavity of gp120 may provide a starting point for structure-based assembly of small molecules targeting gp120-CD4 interaction.

- Discovery of 3-methyl-N-(1-oxy-3′,4′,5′,6′- tetrahydro-2′H-[2,4′-bipyridine]-1′-ylmethyl)benzamide (ABT-670), an orally bioavailable dopamine D4 agonist for the treatment of erectile dysfunction
-
The goal of this study was to identify a structurally distinct D4-selective agonist with superior oral bioavailability to our first-generation clinical candidate 1a (ABT-724) for the potential treatment of erectile dysfunction. Arylpiperazines such as (heteroarylmethyl)piperazine 1a, benzamide 2, and acetamides such as 3a,b exhibit poor oral bioavailability. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies with the arylpiperidine template provided potent partial agonists such as 4d and 5k that demonstrated no improvement in oral bioavailability. Further optimization with the (N-oxy-2-pyridinyl)piperidine template led to the discovery of compound 6b (ABT-670), which exhibited excellent oral bioavailability in rat, dog, and monkey (68%, 85%, and 91%, respectively) with comparable efficacy, safety, and tolerability to 1a. The N-oxy-2-pyridinyl moiety not only provided the structural motif required for agonist function but also reduced metabolism rates. The SAR study leading to the discovery of 6b is described herein.

- Rational design and synthesis of new quorum-sensing inhibitors derived from acylated homoserine lactones and natural products from garlic
-
Parallel solution-phase synthesis of sulfide AHL analogues (10a-s) by one-pot or a sequential approach is reported. The corresponding sulfoxides 13a-e and sulfones 14a-e were prepared to expand the diversity of the 19-member array of sulfides 10a-s. Likewise, dithianes 12a-c were prepared with similarity both to sulfides 10a-s and to bioactive structures from garlic. Design and biological screening of all compounds presented in this work targeted inhibition of quorum-sensing comprising competitive inhibition of transcriptional regulators LuxR and LasR. The design was based on critical interactions within the binding-site and structural motifs in molecular components isolated from garlic, 7 and 8, shown to be quorum-sensing inhibitors but not antibiotics. A potent quorum-sensing inhibitor N-(heptylsulfanylacetyl)-L-homoserine lactone (10c) was identified. Together with data collected for the other analogues, the resulting structure - activity relationship led to a hypothesis in which competitive binding was assumed.
