- Discovery of Isatin-Based Carbohydrazones as Potential Dual Inhibitors of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase and Monoacylglycerol Lipase
-
Using ligand-based design strategy, a set of isatin-3-carbohydrazones was designed, synthesized and evaluated for dual fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) inhibition properties. Compound 5-chloro-N′-(5-chloro-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (13 b) emerged as a potent MAGL inhibitor with nanomolar activity (IC50=3.33 nM), while compound 5-chloro-N′-(1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (13 j) was the most potent selective FAAH inhibitor (IC50=37 nM). Compound 5-chloro-N′-(6-chloro-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (13 c) showed dual FAAH-MAGL inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 31 and 29 nM respectively. Enzyme kinetics studies revealed that the isatin-based carbohydrazones are reversible inhibitors for both FAAH and MAGL. Further, blood-brain permeability assay confirmed that the lead compounds (13 b, 13 c, 13 g, 13 m and 13 q) are suitable as CNS candidates. Molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed the putative binding modes and key interactions of lead inhibitors within the enzyme active sites. The lead dual FAAH-MAGL inhibitor 13 c showed significant antioxidant activity and neuroprotection in the cell-based cytotoxicity assay. In summary, the study yielded three potent FAAH/MAGL inhibitor compounds (13 b, 13 c and 13 j) with acceptable pharmacokinetic profile and thus can be considered as promising candidates for treating neurological and mood disorders.

- Study on synthesis of some substituted N-propargyl isatins by propargylation reaction of corresponding isatins using potassium carbonate as base under ultrasound- and microwave-assisted conditions
-
Substituted N-propargyl isatins were synthesized by SN2 reaction of corresponding substituted isatins with propargyl bromide in the presence of anhydrous K2CO3 as base. We reported about study on systematically synthesis of these compounds using heating procedures under different reaction conditions, including microwave-assisted heating conditions at power of 100?W (Procedure A), conventional heating conditions in water bath at 50?°C in acetonitrile (Procedure B), and conventional heating conditions in water bath at 50?°C in DMF (procedure C). The best procedure A was deduced based on the investigations on the reaction conditions. Almost all substituted N-propargyl isatins were new, except compounds with R of H, 5-Me, 5-Cl and 5-Br substituents. The structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by the modern spectroscopic methods.

- Accessing New 5-α-(3,3-Disubstituted Oxindole)-Benzylamine Derivatives from Isatin: Stereoselective Organocatalytic Three Component Petasis Reaction
-
A one-step, three-component Petasis reaction of isatin derived 5-arylboronate-3-substituted oxindole derivatives with salicylaldehydes and secondary amines affords new enantiomerically pure structurally diverse 5-α-(3-substituted-oxindole)-benzylamine derivatives. The reaction shows good substrate and reagent scope affording the products with good to excellent yields (up to >99 % yield) and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) using cheap and readily available (R)-BINOL as the organocatalyst. A diastereoselective version of the reaction was also developed where moderate yields (37 to 55 % yield), excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) and good diastereoselectivities (up to 86 % de) were obtained for new 5-α-(3-hydroxy-oxindole)-benzylamine derivatives, having two stereocenters. The reaction is also feasible on gram-scale.

- Visible-Light-Mediated Dearomatisation of Indoles and Pyrroles to Pharmaceuticals and Pesticides
-
Dearomatisation of indole derivatives to the corresponding isatin derivatives has been achieved with the aid of visible light and oxygen. It should be noted that isatin derivatives are highly important for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Notably, this chemistry works excellently with N-protected and protection-free indoles. Additionally, this methodology can also be applied to dearomatise pyrrole derivatives to generate cyclic imides in a single step. Later this methodology was applied for the synthesis of four pharmaceuticals and a pesticide called dianthalexin B. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed the actual role of oxygen and photocatalyst.

- A rhodium(ii) catalysed domino synthesis of azepino fused diindoles from isatin tethered: N -sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles and indoles
-
An efficient and convenient protocol for the synthesis of a novel class of azepino fused diindoles from isatin tethered N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles and indoles has been disclosed. The reaction proceeds via denitrogenative aza-vinyl rhodium carbene formation to give a carbonyl ylide, which with indole results in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition followed by sequential semipinacol rearrangement/ring expansion/oxidation to produce azepino fused diindoles. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope giving up to 81% yield. Furthermore, reversible catalytic hydrogenation and photophysical studies were carried out to demonstrate the application of these molecules.

- Further Studies on Triazinoindoles as Potential Novel Multitarget-Directed Anti-Alzheimer's Agents
-
The inadequate clinical efficacy of the present anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) drugs and their low impact on the progression of Alzheimer's disease in patients have revised the research focus from single targets to multitarget-directed ligands. A novel series of substituted triazinoindole derivatives were obtained by introducing various substituents on the indole ring for the development of multitarget-directed ligands as anti-AD agents. The experimental data indicated that some of these compounds exhibited significant anti-AD properties. Among them, 8-(piperidin-1-yl)-N-(6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)hexyl)-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-3-amine (60), the most potent cholinesterase inhibitor (AChE, IC50 value of 0.32 μM; BuChE, IC50 value of 0.21 μM), was also found to possess significant self-mediated Aβ1-42 aggregation inhibitory activity (54% at 25 μM concentration). Additionally, compound 60 showed strong antioxidant activity. In the PAMPA assay, compound 60 exhibited blood-brain barrier penetrating ability. An acute toxicity study in rats demonstrated no sign of toxicity at doses up to 2000 mg/kg. Furthermore, compound 60 significantly restored the cognitive deficits in the scopolamine-induced mice model and Aβ1-42-induced rat model. In the in silico ADMET prediction studies, the compound satisfied all the parameters of CNS acting drugs. These results highlighted the potential of compound 60 to be a promising multitarget-directed ligand for the development of potential anti-AD drugs.

Novel isatinspirooxazine derivatives were designed and synthesized as potential anti-proliferative agents. The new compounds were obtained from aldol condensation reactions between isatin and 3-(hydroxyimino)butan-2-one in the presence of an organic base in order to generate an aldol adduct, followed by cyclization in trifluoroacetic acid, providing the desired isatinspirooxazines in 30 to 80percent yield. All the synthesized compounds, including the starting material and the synthetic intermediates, were tested for in vitro anti-proliferative activity against cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 (breast cancer) and A549 (lung cancer), highlighting the compound 4-methyl,5'-methyl-spiro[(5-aza-4-eno-3-one-cyclohexane)-1,3'-(1H-indol-one)] with an IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) = 0.34 μM, more potent than the reference drug, doxorubicin (IC50 = 1.88 μM), in breast cancer line MDA-MB231.

- Synthesis and Ameliorative Effect of Isatin–Mesalamine Conjugates on Acetic Acid-induced Colitis in Rats
-
A series of new isatin–mesalamine conjugates (9a–g) were synthesized via conjugation of isatin (3a) and its derivatives (3b–3d, 4, 5, and 6) with mesalamine (7) by using chloroacetyl chloride as a bifunctional linker. Compounds 3a–3d were prepared by employing Sandmeyer reaction. Compounds 4, 5, and 6 were obtained from isatin (3a) via previously reported methods. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, mass, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectral techniques. Synthesized compounds (3a–d, 4, 5, 6, and 9a–g) were evaluated for in vitro antioxidant activity by DPPH assay method using ascorbic acid as standard. Hybrids 9b (IC50?=?368.6?±?3.5?μM) and 9f (IC50?=?335.1?±?2.9?μM) showed better antioxidant activity than its parent compounds such as 3a (IC50?=?556.8?±?2.9?μM), 5 (IC50?=?511.9?±?3.6?μM), and 7 (IC50?=?768.9?±?2.7?μM). Acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rat model was chosen to examine the antioxidant potential of the synthesized hybrids (9b and 9f) in the amelioration of ulcerative colitis. Colonic myeloperoxidase and malondialdehyde enzymes were used as biomarkers of anti-ulcerative colitis activity. In the present study, hybrids 9b and 9f reduced the levels of colonic myeloperoxidase and malondialdehyde enzymes significantly (p??0.05) when compared with control (colitic), at a dose (0.03?mM/12.5?mg/kg b.w. p.o.) (50%) less than that of its parent moieties mesalamine (0.16?mM/25?mg/kg) and isatin (0.16?mM/25?mg/kg). Thus, the molecular hybridization was proved to be significant in enhancing the activity of hybrids 9b and 9f by reducing the dose.

-
Microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4) is a potential drug target as the same is found to be over expressed in several types of cancers. In search of effective MARK4 inhibitors, we have synthesized and characterized Isatin-triazole hydrazones (9a-i) and evaluated their inhibitory potential. Of all the compounds, 9g showed better binding affinity and enzyme inhibition potential in sub micromolar range. Human serum albumin (HSA) binding assay suggested an easy transportation of 9g in blood stream due to its binding affinity. In vitro anticancer studies performed on MCF-7, MDA-MB-435s and HepG2 cells using 9g showed inhibition of cell proliferation and cell migration. Further, 9g induces apoptosis in these cancerous cells, with IC50 values of 6.22, 9.94 and 8.14 μM, respectively. Putatively, 9g seems to cause oxidative stress resulting in apoptosis. Functional assay of 9g with a panel of 26 kinases showed MARK4 specific profile. In conclusion, 9g seems to possess an effective inhibitory potential towards MARK4 adding an additional repertoire to anticancer therapeutics.

- Organocatalytic Synthesis of Benzazetidines by Trapping Hemiaminals with Protecting Groups
-
Benzazetidines are highly strained and inherently unstable heterocycles. There are only few methodologies for assembling these compounds. Here, a protocol is presented to trap an elusive cyclic, four-membered hemiaminal structure. This method affords several benzazetidines in moderate to good yields (up to 81%), and it uses inexpensive materials and does not require catalysts based on transition metals. The high ring strain energy of these benzazetidine systems was estimated by density functional theory calculations to be about 32 kcal mol-1. This synthesis can be applied also on gram scale with reaction yield essentially unchanged.

Inspired by the concept of molecular hybridization, a series of new isatin-pomalidomide hybrids (9a–9g) were designed, synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against U266B1 and RPMI 8226 multiple myeloma cell lines. Sandmeyer methodology and N-halomethylketo alkylation reaction are the two important reactions involved in the synthesis of isatin-pomalidomide hybrids (9a–9g). All the synthesized compounds (3a–3d, 4, 5, 6, and 9a–9g) were characterized by using IR, mass, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectral techniques. The efficacy of all the synthesized compounds was tested against the aforementioned cell lines by employing MTT assay (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) standard protocols while using pomalidomide as a standard. The test concentrations used in the MTT assay were 1, 10, 20, 30, and 40?μM, and the period of incubation was 24?h. All the synthesized compounds were found to have moderate to greater cytotoxic activity against the aforementioned cell lines. Among them, synthesized hybrids 9f (IC50, U266B1?=?5.15?±?0.72?μM, RPMI8226?=?11.66?±?0.79?μM) and 9g (IC50, U266B1?=?2.50?±?0.37?μM, RPMI8226?=?6.70?±?0.55?μM) displayed better cytotoxic activity against both the cell lines used in the present study.

A number of 5-arylisatin derivatives were synthesized in 5–6 steps from readily available starting materials. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and 13C NMR as well as LC/MS. The cytotoxicity of these novel isatins against human leukemia K562 cells were evaluated by MTT assay in vitro. SAR studies indicated that the N-substituted benzyl and C-5 substituted phenyl groups greatly enhance their cytotoxic activity, whereas an intact carbonyl functionality on C-3 present in the parent ring is required to maintain such a potency. Particularly, N-(p-methoxybenzyl)-5-(p-methoxyphenyl)isatin (compound 2m) showed the highest antitumor activity against K562 cell lines (IC50 = 0.03 μM). Moreover, treatment with compound 2m significantly inhibited liver cancer HepG2 cells proliferation and migration, which could also reduce the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) tube formation. In conclusion, compound 2m exhibited very good cancer cells proliferation inhibition by angiogenesis responses in vitro, and 2m might be a promising angiogenesis inhibitor for cancer treatment.

The present work describes an expedient approach for the direct conversion of indole-3-carboxaldehyde to 3-chlorooxindoles using a simple sustainable synthetic method. From an environmental perspective, a combination of NaCl/oxone in a CH3CN?:?H2O (1?:?1) system was developed for direct oxidative chlorination of a wide array of indole derivatives. This chlorination strategy is more viable, remarkably cheaper and provides easy access to potential 3-chlorooxindoles. In addition, this environmentally benign method can also be applicable for constructing isatin derivatives in good yields.

- Assessment of 5-substituted Isatin as Surface Recognition Group: Design, Synthesis, and Antiproliferative Evaluation of Hydroxamates as Novel Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors
-
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is a promising target for cancer treatment. HDAC inhibitors consist of three pharmacophoric features: an aromatic cap group, zinc binding group (ZBG), and a linker chain connecting cap group to ZBG. Herein, we report on (i) substituted isatin moiety as the cap group that recognizes the surface of active enzyme pocket and (ii) thiosemicarbazide moiety incorporated as linker group responsible for connecting the cap group to ZBG (hydroxamic acid). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity and HDAC enzyme inhibition. The binding mode analysis of proposed compounds was evaluated by docking studies. Several analogs were found to inhibit HDAC and cellular proliferation of Hela cervical cancer cells, with GI50 values in the micromolar range. One compound (Vd) was found to have greater in vitro antiproliferative activity in comparison to other compounds.

The study represents the new findings at the crossroads of chemistry and medicine, particularly between medicinal and organic chemistry and ophthalmology. In this work we describe how the chemical reactivity of indolinone scaffold may be used to create small molecule ligands with strong biological response comparable with and larger than that of endogenous hormone. The synthesis of oxindole-based melatonin and 5-methoxycarbonylamino-N-acetyltryptamine (5-MCA-NAT) analogues was proposed and their ability to influence intraocular pressure (IOP) was studied in vivo. Time-dependent study revealed the prolonged effect (more than 6?h) of the lead-compound. This effect in combination with high IOP reducing effect (41?±?6%) in low concentrations of the active compound (0.1?wt%) and with high water solubility represents a great potential of low-cost oxindole derivatives as potent antiglaucoma agents.

- Natural α-methylenelactam analogues: Design, synthesis and evaluation of α-alkenyl-γ and δ-lactams as potential antifungal agents against Colletotrichum orbiculare
-
In our continued efforts to improve the potential utility of the α-methylene-γ-lactone scaffold, 62 new and 59 known natural α-methylenelactam analogues including α-methylene-γ-lactams, α-arylidene-γ and δ-lactams, and 3-arylideneindolin-2-ones were synthesized as the bioisosteric analogues of the α-methylenelactone scaffold. The results of antifungal and cytotoxic activity indicated that among these derivatives compound (E)-1-(2, 6-dichlorobenzyl)-3-(2-fluorobenzylidene) pyrrolidin-2-one (Py51) possessed good selectivity with the highest antifungal activity against Colletotrichum orbiculare with IC50?=?10.4?μM but less cytotoxic activity with IC50?=?141.2?μM (against HepG2 cell line) and 161.2?μM (against human hepatic L02?cell line). Ultrastructural change studies performed by transmission electron microscope showed that Py51 could cause important cell morphological changes in C.?orbiculare, such as plasma membrane detached from cell wall, cell wall thickening, mitochondria disruption, a dramatic increase in vacuolation, and eventually a complete loss in the integrity of organelles. Significantly, mitochondria appeared one of the primary targets, as confirmed by their remarkably aberrant morphological changes. Analysis of structure–activity relationships revealed that incorporation of the aryl group into the α-exo-methylene and the N-benzyl substitution increased the activity. Meanwhile, the α-arylidene-γ-lactams have superiority in selectivity over the 3-arylideneindolin-2-ones. Based on the results, the N-benzyl substituted α-(2-fluorophenyl)-γ-lactam was identified as the most promising natural-based scaffold for further discovering and developing improved crop-protection agents.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of dual acetylcholinesterase and phosphodiesterase 5A inhibitors in treatment for Alzheimer's disease
-
With the recent research advances in molecular biology and technology, multiple credible hypotheses about the progress of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been proposed; multi-target drugs have emerged as an innovative therapeutic approach for AD. Current clinical therapy for AD patients is mainly palliative treatment targeting acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Inhibition of phosphodiesterase 5A (PDE5A) has recently been validated as a potentially novel therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this work, series of new compounds were designed, synthesized and evaluated as dual cholinesterase and PDE5A inhibitor. Biological results revealed that some of these compounds display good biological activities against AChE with IC50 values about 44.67–169.80 nM (donepezil IC50 50.12 nM). Notably, compound 12 presented potent activities against PDE5A with IC50 values about 50 μM (sildenafil IC50 12.59 μM), and some of these compounds showed low cell toxicity to A549 cells in vitro.

In this study, we screened the effect of meisoindigo on a panel of 300 protein kinases and found that it selectively inhibited Stat3-associated tyrosine kinases and further confirmed its activity in cell based assays. To gain a deeper insight into the structure-activity relationship we produced 7 bromo-derivatives exhausting the accessible positions on the bisindole backbone except for in the 4-position due to the space limitation. We compared their anti-proliferative effects on tumor cells. We found that 6-bromomeisoindigo showed improved toxicity in company with increased Stat3 inhibition. Moreover, we detected that 6-bromomeisoindigo induced apoptosis of 95% of CD133+ pancreatic cancer cells. Considering that CD133 is a common marker highly expressed in a range of CSCs, our results imply the potential application of 6-bromomeisoindigo for the treatment of CSCs in different types of cancers.

- Design, synthesis and anti-tumor activity study of novel histone deacetylase inhibitors containing isatin-based caps and o-phenylenediamine-based zinc binding groups
-
As a hot topic of epigenetic studies, histone deacetylases (HDACs) are related to lots of diseases, especially cancer. Further researches indicated that different HDAC isoforms played various roles in a wide range of tumor types. Herein a novel series of HDAC inhibitors with isatin-based caps and o-phenylenediamine-based zinc binding groups have been designed and synthesized through scaffold hopping strategy. Among these compounds, the most potent compound 9n exhibited similar if not better HDAC inhibition and antiproliferative activities against multiple tumor cell lines compared with the positive control entinostat (MS-275). Additionally, compared with MS-275 (IC50 values for HDAC1, 2 and 3 were 0.163, 0.396 and 0.605?μM, respectively), compound 9n with IC50 values of 0.032, 0.256 and 0.311?μM for HDAC1, 2 and 3 respectively, showed a moderate HDAC1 selectivity.

- Discovery of 3-Hydroxy-3-phenacyloxindole Analogues of Isatin as Potential Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
-
A series of 3-hydroxy-3-phenacyloxindole analogues of isatin were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory activity toward monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. Most of the synthesized compounds proved to be potent and selective inhibitors of MAO-A rather than MAO-B. 1-Benzyl-3-hydroxy-3-(4′-hydroxyphenacyl)oxindole (compound 18) showed the highest MAO-A inhibitory activity (IC50: 0.009±0.001 μm, Ki: 3.69±0.003 nm) and good selectivity (selectivity index: 60.44). Kinetic studies revealed that compounds 18 and 16 (1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-3-(4′-bromophenacyl)oxindole) exhibit competitive inhibition against MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively. Structure-activity relationship studies suggested that the 3-hydroxy group is an essential feature for these analogues to exhibit potent MAO-A inhibitory activity. Computational studies revealed the possible molecular interactions between the inhibitors and MAO isozymes. The computational data obtained are congruent with experimental results. Further studies on the lead inhibitors, including co-crystallization of inhibitor-MAO complexes and in vivo evaluations, are essential for their development as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of MAO-associated neurological disorders.

- Fragment-Based Discovery of 5-Arylisatin-Based Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 and 13
-
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are well-established targets for several pathologies. In particular, MMP-2 and MMP-13 play a prominent role in cancer progression. In this study, a structure-based screening campaign was applied to prioritize metalloproteinase-oriented fragments. This computational model was applied to a representative fragment set from the publically available EDASA Scientific compound library. These fragments were prioritized, and the top-ranking hits were tested in a biological assay to validate the model. Two scaffolds showed consistent activity in the assay, and the isatin-based compounds were the most interesting. These latter fragments have significant potential as tools for the design and realization of novel MMP inhibitors. In addition to their micromolar activity, the chemical synthesis affords flexible and creative access to their analogues.

A series of new (Z)-3-(3′-methoxy-4′-(2-amino-2-oxoethoxy)benzylidene)indolin-2-one derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against selected human cancer cell lines of prostate (PC-3 and DU-145), breast (BT-549 and MDA-MB-231) and non-tumorigenic prostate epithelial cells (RWPE-1). Among the tested, one of the compounds 4p exhibited potent cytotoxicity selectively on prostate cancer cell lines (PC-3 and DU-145; IC50: 1.89 ± 0.6 and 1.94 ± 0.2 μM, respectively). Further experiments were conducted with 4p on PC-3 cancer cells to study the mechanisms of growth inhibition and apoptosis inducing effect. Treatment of PC-3 cells with test compound 4p resulted in inhibition of cell migration through disorganization of F-actin protein. The flow-cytometry analysis results showed that the compound arrested PC-3 cancer cells in the G2/M phase of cell cycle in a dose dependent manner. Hoechst staining and annexin-V binding assay revealed that the compound 4p inhibited tumor cell proliferation through induction of apoptosis. Western blot studies demonstrated that the compound 4p treatment led to activation of caspase-3, increased expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and significantly decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 in human prostate cancer PC-3 cells. In addition, the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΦm) was also affected and the levels of intracellular Ca2+ were raised.

Gratifyingly, the compounds 5j, 5o and 5r exhibited potent cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines (BT549 and MDA-MB-231) with IC50values in the range of 1.26–2.77?μM, and are found to be safer with lesser cytotoxicity on normal breast epithelial cells (MCF-10A). Further, experiments were conducted with these compounds 5j, 5o and 5r on MDA-MB-231 cancer cells to study the mechanism of growth inhibition and apoptosis inducing effect. Treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with test compounds resulted in inhibition of cell migration through disorganization and disruption of F-actin capping protein. The flow-cytometry analysis results showed that the compound 5o arrested MDA-MB-231 cells in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle in a dose dependent manner. Hoechst staining study revealed that the test compounds inhibited tumor cell proliferation through induction of apoptosis. In addition, the mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) was affected and the increased level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was noted in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Among the tested compounds, 8l showed significant cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cancer cells with IC50values of 3.26 ± 0.24 μM and 5.96 ± 0.67 μM respectively. The compounds 8f, 8i, 8l and 8o were also screened on normal human breast epithelial cells (MCF10A) and found to be safer with lesser cytotoxicity. The treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with 8l led to inhibition of cell migration ability through disruption of F-actin protein assembly. The flow-cytometry analysis reveals that the cells arrested in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Further, the compound 8l induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells was characterized by different staining techniques such as Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB), DAPI, annexin V-FITC/PI, Rhodamine-123 and MitoSOX red assay. Western blot studies demonstrated that the compound 8l treatment led to activation of caspase-3, increased expression of cleaved PARP, increased expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells.

- Synthesis and anti-cancer activity evaluation of 5-(2-carboxyethenyl)-isatin derivatives
-
A series of novel di- or trisubstituted isatin derivatives were designed and synthesized in 5–6 steps in 25–45% overall yields. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and 13C NMR as well as LC-MS. The anticancer activity of the fourty-three new isatin derivatives against human T lymphocyte cells Jurkat was evaluated by MTT assay in vitro. SAR study suggested that the combination of 1-benzyl and 5-[trans-2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethen-1-yl] substitution greatly enhanced their cytotoxic activity. Among them, compound 2h was shown to have a significant cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 0.03 μM, more than 330-fold higher than that of it's mother molecule isatin. Investigation of the cell morphology changes and annexin-V/PI staining study demonstrated that compound 2h inhibited the proliferation of Jurkat cells by inducing apoptosis. Since compound 2h induced the dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential and the activation of caspase-3, it was obvious that compound 2h inhibited the proliferation of Jurkat cells through the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Other than this, compound 2h exerted inhibition effect to many other tumor cells and only showed weak cytotoxic to human normal cells suggesting that compound 2h possessed a broad range of anticancer spectrum and high safety to normal cells.

- A Palladium-Catalyzed Double Carbonylation Approach to Isatins from 2-Iodoanilines

A high-yielding procedure for the synthesis of isatins has been developed. Sequential Pd-catalyzed double carbonylation of 2-iodoanilines with near stoichiometric amounts of CO followed by acid-promoted cyclization readily affords an array of isatins. The conversion of 2-iodoanilines to isatins in good to excellent yields was found to proceed with good functional group tolerance. This protocol proved adaptable to 13C-isotope labeling of isatins, which was extended to the synthesis of the 13C-isotope labeled antiviral drug metisazone and the experimental anti-schizophrenia drug ML137.

- Synthesis and evaluation of 3-ylideneoxindole acetamides as potent anticancer agents
-
Indirubin, an active component in the traditional Chinese medicine formula Danggui Longhui Wan, shows promising anticancer effects. Meisoindigo is an analog derived from indirubin, which is less toxic and appears to be even more potent against cancer. In considering meisoindigo as a structural template for the development of new drugs, we designed and synthesized a series of 3-ylideneoxindole acetamides as novel anticancer agents. The acetamides were then evaluated for in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities. The 3-ylideneoxindole acetamides were found to have better anticancer activity than was indirubin-3'-oxime in several cancer cell lines and also displayed a spectrum of activity similar to that of the drug candidate roscovitine, a CDK inhibitor. Among the 3-ylideneoxindole acetamides, compound 10 showed particularly good efficacy. Cell cycle analysis further revealed that compound 10 arrested cells in the G1 phase and caused an increase in the sub-G1 population, indicating that the apoptosis pathway had been induced. In addition, exposure of cells to compound 10 led to the upregulation of the cell-cycle regulator cyclin D1, which was sustained at a high level. In contrast, the same compound induced a short-term elevation in the level of cyclin E, which was followed by a rapid decrease and the attenuation of Rb phosphorylation. Furthermore, a docking model suggests that compound 10 binds to the active site of CDK4. In testing the therapeutic potency of compound 10 on CT26-xenografted BALB/c mice, a significant reduction in tumor size comparable to that of cisplatin was found when administrated via the i.p. route. The mice presented no loss of body weight, indicating that this compound possesses low toxicity. In the future, we are planning in vivo investigations of these new active anticancer agents to better elucidate active mechanisms at the cellular level and thus benefit the development of anticancer therapies.

- Spirooxindole-derived morpholine-fused-1,2,3-triazoles: Design, synthesis, cytotoxicity and apoptosis inducing studies
-
A series of new spirooxindole-derived morpholine-fused-1,2,3-triazole derivatives has been synthesized from isatin spiro-epoxides. The protocol involves regiospecific isatin-epoxide ring opening with azide nucleophile followed by sequential O-propargylation, and intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. These compounds have been evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against selected human tumor cell lines of lung (A549), breast (MCF-7), cervical (HeLa), and prostate (DU-145). Among the tested compounds, 6i, 6n and 6p showed potent growth inhibition against A549 cell line with IC50 values in the range of 1.87-4.36 μM, which are comparable to reference standards doxorubicin and 5-flourouracil. The compounds 6i and 6p treated A549 cells displayed typical apoptotic morphological features such as cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, fragmentation, and decreased migration potential. Flow-cytometry analysis revealed that the compounds arrested the cells in G2/M phase of cell cycle. Hoechst and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining studies also showed that the cell proliferation was inhibited through induction of apoptosis. Moreover, the compounds treatment led to collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were noted in A549 cells.
