Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain condition that is the leading cause of dementia affecting millions of people around the world. Therapeutic development has focused on the problem of the loss of basal forebrain cholinergic function, as it is the only evidence responsible for brain neurodegeneration in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Several attempts to improve cholinergic neurotransmission have been investigated by minimizing synaptic degradation of acetylcholine using acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. In the current study, we explore the designing of a new series of nicotinonitrile-coumarin hybrids as potential acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The new hybrids were prepared utilizing pyridine-2(1H)-thiones as starting precursors. The in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities were examined for the new nicotinonitrile-coumarin hybrid molecules, when compared with donepezil as a standard drug with IC50 of 14?nM. Coumarin derivative, linked to 6-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-phenylnicotinonitrile, showed more effective inhibitory activity than the reference donepezil with IC50 of 13?nM. The free radical-scavenging capabilities against DPPH of the new hybrid derivatives were screened. Additionally, their in vitro cytotoxic activities have been tested against various eukaryotic cells. Furthermore, docking study showed excellent interaction between nicotinonitrile-coumarin hybrids and AChE. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
A Remote ‘Imidazole’-Based Ruthenium(II) Para-Cymene Pre-catalyst for the Selective Oxidation Reaction of Alkyl Arenes and Alcohols

Herein we disclosed the use of a remote ‘imidazole’-based precatalyst [(para-cymene)RuII(L)Cl]+, C-1 where L=2-(4-substituted-phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline) for the selective oxidation of a variety of alkyl arenes/heteroarenes and alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes or ketones in presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The remote ‘imidazole’ moiety present in the complex facilitates the activation of oxidant and subsequent generation of active species via the release of para-cymene from C-1, which in-turn was less effective without the ‘imidazole’ moiety. The mechanistic features of C-1 promoted oxidation of alkyl arenes were also assessed from spectroscopic, kinetic, and few control experiments. The substrate scope for C-1 promoted oxidation reaction was assessed based on the selective oxidation of 27-different alkyl arenes/heteroarenes and 25 different alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes/ketones in moderate to good yields.

A novel 2-thiopyrimidine/chalcone hybrid was designed, synthesised, and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against three different cell lines, K-562, MCF-7, and HT-29. The most active cytotoxic derivatives were 9d, 9f, 9n, and 9p (IC50=0.77–1.74 μM, against K-562 cell line), 9a and 9r (IC50=1.37–3.56 μM against MCF-7 cell line), and 9a, 9l, and 9n (IC50=2.10 and 2.37 μM against HT-29 cell line). Compounds 9a, 9d, 9f, 9n, and 9r were further evaluated for their cytotoxicity against normal fibroblast cell line WI38. Moreover, STAT3 and STAT5a inhibitory activities were determined for the most active derivatives 9a, 9d, 9f, 9n, and 9r. Dual inhibitory activity was observed in compound 9n (IC50=113.31 and 50.75 μM, against STAT3 and STAT5a, respectively). Prediction of physicochemical properties, drug likeness score, pharmacokinetic and toxic properties was detected.
