- SmI2-Catalyzed Intermolecular Coupling of Cyclopropyl Ketones and Alkynes: A Link between Ketone Conformation and Reactivity
-
The archetypal single electron transfer reductant, samarium(II) diiodide (SmI2, Kagan's reagent), remains one of the most important reducing agents and mediators of radical chemistry after four decades of widespread use in synthesis. While the chemistry of SmI2 is very often unique, and thus the reagent is indispensable, it is almost invariably used in superstoichiometric amounts, thus raising issues of cost and waste. Of the few reports of the use of catalytic SmI2, all require the use of superstoichiometric amounts of a metal coreductant to regenerate Sm(II). Here, we describe a SmI2-catalyzed intermolecular radical coupling of aryl cyclopropyl ketones and alkynes. The process shows broad substrate scope and delivers a library of decorated cyclopentenes with loadings of SmI2 as low as 15 mol %. The radical relay strategy negates the need for a superstoichiometric coreductant and additives to regenerate SmI2. Crucially, our study uncovers an intriguing link between ketone conformation and efficient cross-coupling and thus provides an insight into the mechanism of radical relays involving SmI2. The study lays further groundwork for the future use of the classical reagent SmI2 in contemporary radical catalysis.

- Development of LM98, a Small-Molecule TEAD Inhibitor Derived from Flufenamic Acid
-
The YAP-TEAD transcriptional complex is responsible for the expression of genes that regulate cancer cell growth and proliferation. Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway due to overexpression of TEAD has been reported in a wide range of cancers. Inhibition of TEAD represses the expression of associated genes, demonstrating the value of this transcription factor for the development of novel anti-cancer therapies. We report herein the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of LM98, a flufenamic acid analogue. LM98 shows strong affinity to TEAD, inhibits its autopalmitoylation and reduces the YAP-TEAD transcriptional activity. Binding of LM98 to TEAD was supported by 19F-NMR studies while co-crystallization experiments confirmed that LM98 is anchored within the palmitic acid pocket of TEAD. LM98 reduces the expression of CTGF and Cyr61, inhibits MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell migration and arrests cell cycling in the S phase during cell division.

- 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.

- 4-Alkyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione analogues as metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors
-
In Gram-negative bacteria, the major mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is the production of one or several β-lactamases (BLs), including the highly worrying carbapenemases. Whereas inhibitors of these enzymes were recently marketed, they only target serine-carbapenemases (e.g. KPC-type), and no clinically useful inhibitor is available yet to neutralize the class of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). We are developing compounds based on the 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold, which binds to the di-zinc catalytic site of MBLs in an original fashion, and we previously reported its promising potential to yield broad-spectrum inhibitors. However, up to now only moderate antibiotic potentiation could be observed in microbiological assays and further exploration was needed to improve outer membrane penetration. Here, we synthesized and characterized a series of compounds possessing a diversely functionalized alkyl chain at the 4-position of the heterocycle. We found that the presence of a carboxylic group at the extremity of an alkyl chain yielded potent inhibitors of VIM-type enzymes with Ki values in the μM to sub-μM range, and that this alkyl chain had to be longer or equal to a propyl chain. This result confirmed the importance of a carboxylic function on the 4-substituent of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione heterocycle. As observed in previous series, active compounds also preferentially contained phenyl, 2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl, naphth-2-yl or m-biphenyl at position 5. However, none efficiently inhibited NDM-1 or IMP-1. Microbiological study on VIM-2-producing E. coli strains and on VIM-1/VIM-4-producing multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae clinical isolates gave promising results, suggesting that the 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold worth continuing exploration to further improve penetration. Finally, docking experiments were performed to study the binding mode of alkanoic analogues in the active site of VIM-2.

- 1,2,4-Triazole-3-thione compounds with a 4-ethyl alkyl/aryl sulfide substituent are broad-spectrum metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors with re-sensitization activity
-
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are important contributors of Gram-negative bacteria resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. MBLs are highly worrying because of their carbapenemase activity, their rapid spread in major human opportunistic pathogens while no clinically useful inhibitor is available yet. In this context, we are exploring the potential of compounds based on the 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold as an original ligand of the di-zinc active sites of MBLs, and diversely substituted at its positions 4 and 5. Here, we present a new series of compounds substituted at the 4-position by a thioether-containing alkyl chain with a carboxylic and/or an aryl group at its extremity. Several compounds showed broad-spectrum inhibition with Ki values in the μM to sub-μM range against VIM-type enzymes, NDM-1 and IMP-1. The presence of the sulfur and of the aryl group was important for the inhibitory activity and the binding mode of a few compounds in VIM-2 was revealed by X-ray crystallography. Importantly, in vitro antibacterial susceptibility assays showed that several inhibitors were able to potentiate the activity of meropenem on Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates producing VIM-1 or VIM-4, with a potentiation effect of up to 16-fold. Finally, a selected compound was found to only moderately inhibit the di-zinc human glyoxalase II, and several showed no or only moderate toxicity toward several human cells, thus favourably completing a promising behaviour.

- 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.

- Copper-mediated simple and direct aerobic oxidative esterification of arylacetonitriles with alcohols/phenols
-
A simple and direct aerobic oxidative esterification reaction of arylacetonitriles with alcohols/phenols is achieved in the presence of a copper salt and molecular oxygen, which produces a broad range of aryl carboxylic acid esters in good to high yields. Copper salt plays multiple roles in the transformation, which allows the oxygenation of C-H bond, cleavage of inert C-C bond, and formation of C-O bond in one pot without the assistance of any of the acids, bases, ligands, and so on. The reaction provides a simple, direct, and efficient protocol towards functionalized esters, especially aryl benzoates, from readily available starting materials.

-
In this paper, a simple method is introduced for the synthesis of novel 4-substituted-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,3]thiazepin-5(1H)-one derivatives. The synthesis is based on a two-step reaction of 2-methylbenzoic acid, an amine, and carbon disulfide. In the first step, 2-methylbenzoic acid reacts with sulfuric acid in ethanol, followed by the reaction with N-bromosuccinimide to produce ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoate. Amine and carbon disulfide react in a separate flask in basic medium to give carbamodithioate salt. Carbamodithioate and ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoate react together in dimethylformamide to produce the desired 4-substituted-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,3]thiazepin-5(1H)-one derivatives. The method is simple and fast and is applicable to a wide variety of substrates and gives the desired products in high isolated yields.

A series of new monoprenylated and diprenylated 2-pyrone derivatives with different halogen substituents were synthesized from the corresponding 6-aryl-4-hydroxy-2-pyrones by prenylation reactions. The compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity and displayed significant in vitro activity with the highest activity shown by the monoprenylated 6-aryl-2-pyrones. All the compounds except the bromine-containing analogs were active against one or more tested bacteria, with Escherichia coli being the most susceptible of the test organisms. With the remarkable antibacterial activity of eight of the compounds against a drug-resistant β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, a synergistic evaluation between each of these compounds and ampicillin was undertaken. Out of the eight combinations studied, synergistic effects were observed with two compounds, 4-(3-methylbut-2-enoxy)-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-one and 6-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(3-methylbut-2-enoxy)-2H-pyran-2-one. Both compounds, at half the individual MIC values, were able to lower the MIC of ampicillin in combinations from 2500 to 2.4 μg/mL (1/1041 of MIC).

- 4-Amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione-derived Schiff bases as metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors
-
Resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in Gram-negatives producing metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) represents a major medical threat and there is an extremely urgent need to develop clinically useful inhibitors. We previously reported the original binding mode of 5-substituted-4-amino/H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione compounds in the catalytic site of an MBL. Moreover, we showed that, although moderately potent, they represented a promising basis for the development of broad-spectrum MBL inhibitors. Here, we synthesized and characterized a large number of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione-derived Schiff bases. Compared to the previous series, the presence of an aryl moiety at position 4 afforded an average 10-fold increase in potency. Among 90 synthetic compounds, more than half inhibited at least one of the six tested MBLs (L1, VIM-4, VIM-2, NDM-1, IMP-1, CphA) with Ki values in the μM to sub-μM range. Several were broad-spectrum inhibitors, also inhibiting the most clinically relevant VIM-2 and NDM-1. Active compounds generally contained halogenated, bicyclic aryl or phenolic moieties at position 5, and one substituent among o-benzoic, 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl, p-benzyloxyphenyl or 3-(m-benzoyl)-phenyl at position 4. The crystallographic structure of VIM-2 in complex with an inhibitor showed the expected binding between the triazole-thione moiety and the dinuclear centre and also revealed a network of interactions involving Phe61, Tyr67, Trp87 and the conserved Asn233. Microbiological analysis suggested that the potentiation activity of the compounds was limited by poor outer membrane penetration or efflux. This was supported by the ability of one compound to restore the susceptibility of an NDM-1-producing E. coli clinical strain toward several β-lactams in the presence only of a sub-inhibitory concentration of colistin, a permeabilizing agent. Finally, some compounds were tested against the structurally similar di-zinc human glyoxalase II and found weaker inhibitors of the latter enzyme, thus showing a promising selectivity towards MBLs.

- Dihydrodibenzothiepine: Promising hydrophobic pharmacophore in the influenza cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor
-
This work describes a set of discovery research studies of an influenza cap-dependent endonuclease (CEN) inhibitor with a carbamoyl pyridone bicycle (CAB) scaffold. Using influenza CEN inhibitory activity, antiviral activity and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters as indices, structure activity relationships (SAR) studies were performed at the N-1 and N-3 positions on the CAB scaffold, which is a unique template to bind two metals. The hydrophobic substituent at the N-1 position is extremely important for CEN inhibitory activity and antiviral activity, and dihydrodibenzothiepine is the most promising pharmacophore. The compound (S)-13i showed potent virus titer reduction over oseltamivir phosphate in an in vivo mouse model. The CAB compound described herein served as the lead compound of baloxavir marboxil with a tricyclic scaffold, which was approved in Japan and the USA in 2018.

- Computer-Assisted Discovery and Structural Optimization of a Novel Retinoid X Receptor Agonist Chemotype
-
As universal heterodimer partners of many nuclear receptors, the retinoid X receptors (RXRs) constitute key transcription factors. They regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, and metabolic homeostasis and have recently been proposed as potential drug targets for neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Owing to the hydrophobic nature of RXR ligand binding sites, available synthetic RXR ligands are lipophilic, and their structural diversity is limited. Here, we disclose the computer-assisted discovery of a novel RXR agonist chemotype and its systematic optimization toward potent RXR modulators. We have developed a nanomolar RXR agonist with high selectivity among nuclear receptors and superior physicochemical properties compared to classical rexinoids that appears suitable for in vivo applications and as lead for future RXR-targeting medicinal chemistry.

- Synthesis of novel indole derivatives containing double 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety as efficient bactericides against phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae
-
Abstract: A series of novel indole derivatives containing double 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety was designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities in vitro. These compounds were fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. Bioassay results indicated that most of title compounds exhibited excellent antibacterial activities against rice bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae (Xoo). For example, compounds 7d, 7h, 7i, 7j, 7k, 7l and 7m had the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 52.31, 54.12, 40.65, 38.80, 51.13, 52.75 and 50.66?μg/mL, respectively, which was better than that of commercial product bismerthiazol (BMT) (85.18?μg/mL). The experimental results proved that indole derivatives bearing double 1,3,4-oxadiazole unit are promising candidates for the development of new agricultural bactericides against pathogenic bacterium Xoo.

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.

The current protocol is catalyst-free, and uses economical and abundant hydro-carbons and hydrocarbon derivatives such as benzoic acid, benzene, and xylene, as starting materials. The reaction is performed using oxygen as a green oxidant in a time- and labour-efficient manner. This integrated approach has been shown to be successful in making a UV-FOR platform suitable for the on-demand synthesis of phthalides and their further syntheses to 2-arylmethylbenzoic acids and arylogous Michael addition products under relatively mild conditions. The current protocol was further extended to the gram scale synthesis of an ischemic stroke-relevant active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), 3-N-butylphthalide (NBP), in a continuous flow process.

- Noncovalent Interactions in Ir-Catalyzed C-H Activation: L-Shaped Ligand for Para-Selective Borylation of Aromatic Esters
-
An efficient strategy for the para-selective borylation of aromatic esters is described. For achieving high para-selectivity, a new catalytic system has been developed modifying the core structure of the bipyridine. It has been proposed that the L-shaped ligand is essential to recognize the functionality of the oxygen atom of the ester carbonyl group via noncovalent interaction, which provides an unprecedented controlling factor for para-selective C-H activation/borylation.

- Continuous Flow Synthesis under High-Temperature/High-Pressure Conditions Using a Resistively Heated Flow Reactor
-
A cheap, easy-to-build, and effective resistively heated reactor for continuous flow synthesis at high temperature and pressure is herein presented. The reactor is rapidly heated directly using an electric current and is capable of rapidly delivering temperatures and pressures up to 400 °C and 200 bar, respectively. High-temperature and high-pressure applications of this reactor were safely performed and demonstrated by selected transformations such as esterifications, transesterifications, and direct carboxylic acid to nitrile reactions using supercritical ethanol, methanol, and acetonitrile. Reaction temperatures were between 300 and 400 °C with excellent conversions and good to excellent isolated product yields. Examples of Diels-Alder reactions were also carried out at temperatures up to 300 °C in high yield. No additives or catalysts were used in the reactions.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of aminobenzyloxyarylamide derivatives as selective κ opioid receptor antagonists
-
Opioid receptors play an important role in both behavioral and mood functions. Based on the structural modification of LY2456302, a series of aminobenzyloxyarylamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as κ opioid receptor antagonists. The κ opioid receptor binding ability of these compounds were evaluated with opioid receptors binding assays. Compounds 1a-d showed high affinity for κ opioid receptor. Especially for compound 1c, exhibited a significant Kivalue of 15.7?nM for κ opioid receptor binding and a higher selectivity over μ and δ opioid receptors compared to (±)LY2456302. In addition, compound 1c also showed potent κ antagonist activity with κ IC50?=?9.32?nM in [35S]GTP-γ-S functional assay. The potential use of the representative compounds as antidepressants was also investigated. The most potent compound 1c not only exhibited potent antidepressant activity in the mice forced swimming test, but also displayed the effect of anti-anxiety in the elevated plus-maze test.

- Synthesis, characterization and bioactivity studies of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole small molecule that targets basic phospholipase A2 from Vipera russelli
-
Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is a key enzyme participating in the inflammatory cascade followed by the action of cyclooxygenase-2 and lipoxygenases. Therefore, inhibitors of sPLA2 could be used as potent anti-inflammatory agents to treat the early phase of inflammation. In this study, we have prepared the fenoprofen and ibuprofen analogs containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole nucleus and tested against Vipera russelli venom's basic sPLA2 (VRV-PL-VIIIa). Among the tested ligands 5(a–t),2-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-(1-(4-phenoxyphenyl) ethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (5m) inhibited the catalytic activity of VRV-PL-VIIIa with an IC50 value of 11.52?μM. Biophysical studies revealed that the 5m quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of VRV-PL-VIIIa, in a concentration dependent manner. Also, the compound 5m affected VRV-PL-VIIIa conformation, which was observed by circular dichroism spectra that recorded the prominent shift in the α-helix peak and the random coil formation of VRV-PL-VIIIa. Further, molecular docking analysis revealed that the compound 5m possess strong hydrophobic interactions at catalytic triad region of the VRV-PL-VIIIa. Evident to in vitro and in silico studies, 5m strongly inhibited the hemolysis of red blood cells. Our in vivo pharmacological studies revealed that the compound 5m inhibited the edematogenic activity of VRV-PL-VIIIa in?mouse foot pad. Additionally, the 5m inhibited VRV-PL-VIIIa-induced myotoxicity and lung hemorrhage in mice. Overall, our ADMET results depicted that 5m possess better druggable property. Thus, this study explored the new fenoprofen and ibuprofen analog 5m as the lead-structure that serves as an anti-inflammatory agent.

- 1,2,4-Triazole-3-thione Compounds as Inhibitors of Dizinc Metallo-β-lactamases
-
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) cause resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to β-lactam antibiotics and are of serious concern, because they can inactivate the last-resort carbapenems and because MBL inhibitors of clinical value are still lacking. We previously identified the original binding mode of 4-amino-2,4-dihydro-5-(2-methylphenyl)-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (compound IIIA) within the dizinc active site of the L1 MBL. Herein we present the crystallographic structure of a complex of L1 with the corresponding non-amino compound IIIB (1,2-dihydro-5-(2-methylphenyl)-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione). Unexpectedly, the binding mode of IIIB was similar but reverse to that of IIIA. The 3 D structures suggested that the triazole–thione scaffold was suitable to bind to the catalytic site of dizinc metalloenzymes. On the basis of these results, we synthesized 54 analogues of IIIA or IIIB. Nineteen showed IC50 values in the micromolar range toward at least one of five representative MBLs (i.e., L1, VIM-4, VIM-2, NDM-1, and IMP-1). Five of these exhibited a significant inhibition of at least four enzymes, including NDM-1, VIM-2, and IMP-1. Active compounds mainly featured either halogen or bulky bicyclic aryl substituents. Finally, some compounds were also tested on several microbial dinuclear zinc-dependent hydrolases belonging to the MBL-fold superfamily (i.e., endonucleases and glyoxalase II) to explore their activity toward structurally similar but functionally distinct enzymes. Whereas the bacterial tRNases were not inhibited, the best IC50 values toward plasmodial glyoxalase II were in the 10 μm range.

- Design and optimization of N-acylhydrazone pyrimidine derivatives as E. coli PDHc E1 inhibitors: Structure-activity relationship analysis, biological evaluation and molecular docking study
-
By targeting the thiamin diphosphate (ThDP) binding site of Escherichia coli (E. coli) pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex E1 (PDHc E1), a series of novel ‘open-chain’ classes of ThDP analogs A, B, and C with N-acylhydrazone moieties was designed and synthesized to explore their activities against E. coli PHDc E1 in vitro and their inhibitory activity against microbial diseases were further evaluated in vivo. As a result, A1–23 exhibited moderate to potent inhibitory activities against E. coli PDHc E1 (IC50 = 0.15–23.55 μM). The potent inhibitors A13, A14, A15, C2, had strong inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 0.60, 0.15, 0.39 and 0.34 μM against E. coli PDHc E1 and with good enzyme-selective inhibition between microorganisms and mammals. Especially, the most powerful inhibitor A14 could 99.37% control Xanthimonas oryzae pv. Oryzae. Furthermore, the binding features of compound A14 within E. coli PDHc E1 were investigated to provide useful insights for the further construction of new inhibitor by molecular docking, site-directed mutagenesis, and enzymatic assays. The results indicated that A14 had most powerful inhibition against E. coli PDHc E1 due to the establishment of stronger interaction with Glu571, Met194, Glu522, Leu264 and Phe602 at active site of E.coli PDHc E1. It could be used as a lead compound for further optimization, and may have potential as a new microbicide.

- Dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines and dibenzo[b,e]oxepines: Influence of the chlorine substitution pattern on the pharmacology at the H1R, H4R, 5-HT2AR and other selected GPCRs
-
Inspired by VUF6884 (7-Chloro-11-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepine), reported as a dual H1/H4 receptor ligand (pKi: 8.11 (human H1R (hH1R)), 7.55 (human H4R (hH4R))), four known and 28 new oxazepine and related oxepine derivatives were synthesised and pharmacologically characterized at histamine receptors and selected aminergic GPCRs. In contrast to the oxazepine series, within the oxepine series, the new compounds showed high affinity to the hH1R (pKi: 6.8–8.7), but no or moderate affinity to the hH4R (pKi: ≤ 5.3). For one oxepine derivative (1-(2-Chloro-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]oxepin-11-yl)-4-methylpiperazine), the enantiomers were separated and the R-enantiomer was identified as the eutomer at the hH1R (pKi: 8.83 (R), 7.63 (S)) and the guinea-pig H1R (gpH1R) (pKi: 8.82 (R), 7.41 (S)). Molecular dynamic studies suggest that the tricyclic core of the compounds is bound in a similar mode into the binding pocket, as described for doxepine in the hH1R crystal structure. Moreover, docking studies of all oxepine derivatives at the hH1R indicate that the oxygen and the position of the chlorine in the tricyclic core determines, if the R- or the S-enantiomer is the eutomer. For some of the oxazepines and oxepines the affinity to other aminergic GPCRs is in the same range as to hH1R or hH4R, thus, those compounds have to be classified as dirty drugs. However, one oxazepine derivative (3,7-Dichloro-11-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepine was identified as dual hH1/h5-HT2A receptor ligand (pKi: 9.23 (hH1R), 8.74 (h5-HT2AR), ≤7 at other analysed GPCRs), whereas one oxepine derivative (1-(3,8-Dichloro-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]oxepin-11-yl)-4-methylpiperazine) was identified as selective hH1R antagonist (pKi: 8.44 (hH1R), ≤6.7 at other analyzed GPCRs). Thus, the pharmacological results suggest that the oxazepine/oxepine moiety and additionally the chlorine substitution pattern toggles receptor selectivity and specificity.

Some selectivity in inhibition has been observed. The 4-chlorophenyl- (75, IC50, 6.71 ± 0.25 μM) and 2-methylphenyl- (70, IC50, 9.52 ± 0.23 μM) escitalopram triazole derivatives depicted high AChE inhibition, while 2-fluorophenyl- (76, IC50 = 4.52 ± 0.17 μM) and 4-fluorophenyl- (78, IC50 = 5.31 ± 0.43 μM) have found to be excellent BChE inhibitors. It has also been observed that ortho, meta and para substituted electron donating groups increase the inhibition, while electron withdrawing groups reduce the inhibition. Docking analyses of inhibitors with AChE have depicted the binding energies for 70 and 75 as ΔGbind -6.42 and -6.93 kcal/mol, respectively, while ligands 76 and 78 have shown the binding affinity ΔGbind -9.04 and -8.51 kcal/mol, respectively, for BChE.

The bioassay results demonstrated that most of the tested compounds showed potent antitumor activities, and some compounds exhibited stronger effects than positive control 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) against various cell lines. Among these compounds, compound 8d showed the best inhibitory effect against SMMC-7721 cells, with IC50 value of 2.84 μM. Compounds 8k and 8n displayed highly effective antitumor activities against MCF-7 cells, with IC50 values of 4.56 and 4.25 μM, respectively. Compounds 8a and 8n exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against A549 cells, with IC50 values of 4.11 and 4.13 μM, respectively. The pharmacological results suggest that the substituents of phenyl ring on the 1,3,4-oxadiazole are vital for modulating antiproliferative activities against various tumor cell lines.

In the further study, it was identified as the most potent inhibitor against two kinds of TS protein (for human TS and Escherichia coli TS, IC50 values: 0.62 and 0.47 μM, respectively) in the TS inhibition assay in vitro and the most potent antibacterial agents with MIC (minimum inhibitory concentrations) of 1.56-3.13 μg/mL against the tested four bacterial strains. Molecular docking and 3D-QSAR study supported that compound 18 can be selected as dual antitumor/antibacterial candidate in the future study.

Room temperature ionic liquid BmimBF4 (1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) has been utilized in the N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidation of aldehydes to yield esters. In the presence of MnO2 as oxidant and of DBU and caesium carbonate as bases, aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic esters have been isolated in good to excellent yields. The recyclability of the used ionic liquid along with the excess of inorganic reagents has been proved. The simple and cheap BmimBF4 ionic liquid played the dual role of precatalyst and solvent. This is the first time that such a reaction has been carried out with an ionic liquid as solvent.

- Molecular properties prediction and synthesis of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole analogues as potent antimicrobial and antitubercular agents
-
In the present investigation, a series of 1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-{[(5- aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]amino}-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one were subjected to molecular properties prediction, drug-likeness by Molinspiration (Molinspiration, 2008) and MolSoft (MolSoft, 2007) software, lipophilicity and solubility parameters using ALOGPS 2.1 program. The compounds followed the Lipinski 'Rule of five' were synthesized for antimicrobial and antitubercular screening as oral bioavailable drugs/leads. Maximum drug-likeness model score (0.95) was found for compound, 4a. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectral analysis followed by antimicrobial and antimycobacterial screening. Among the title compounds, compound 4d showed pronounced activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and isoniazid resistant M. tuberculosis (INHR-TB) with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) 0.78 μM and 1.52 μM, respectively. The compound, 4a showed maximum activity against all bacterial strains with MIC 4-8 μg/mL comparable to standard drug ciprofloxacin, while the compounds, 4e and 4k showed maximum antifungal activity with MIC 8-16 μg/mL less active than standard drug fluconazole.
