- Isothiocyanates from tosyl chloride mediated decomposition of in situ generated dithiocarbamic acid salts
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A facile and general protocol for the preparation of isothiocyanates from alkyl and aryl amines is reported. This method relies on a tosyl chloride mediated decomposition of a dithiocarbamate salt that is generated in situ by treatment of an amine with carbon disulfide and triethylamine. Utilizing this protocol, we have prepared 19-alkyl- and arylisothiocyanates in moderate to excellent yield.

- Inhibitors of the Diadenosine Tetraphosphate Phosphorylase Rv2613c of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
-
The intracellular concentration of diadenosine tetraphospate (Ap4A) increases upon exposure to stress conditions. Despite being discovered over 50 years ago, the cellular functions of Ap4A are still enigmatic. If and how the varied Ap4A is a signal and involved in the signaling pathways leading to an appropriate cellular response remain to be discovered. Because the turnover of Ap4A by Ap4A cleaving enzymes is rapid, small molecule inhibitors for these enzymes would provide tools for the more detailed study of the role of Ap4A. Here, we describe the development of a high-throughput screening assay based on a fluorogenic Ap4A substrate for the identification and optimization of small molecule inhibitors for Ap4A cleaving enzymes. As proof-of-concept we screened a library of over 42, 000 compounds toward their inhibitory activity against the Ap4A phosphorylase (Rv2613c) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). A sulfanylacrylonitril derivative with an IC50 of 260 ± 50 nM in vitro was identified. Multiple derivatives were synthesized to further optimize their properties with respect to their in vitro IC50 values and their cytotoxicity against human cells (HeLa). In addition, we selected two hits to study their antimycobacterial activity against virulent Mtb to show that they might be candidates for further development of antimycobacterial agents against multidrug-resistant Mtb.

- Dynamic Ureas with Fast and pH-Independent Hydrolytic Kinetics
-
Low cost, high performance hydrolysable polymers are of great importance in biomedical applications and materials industries. While many applications require materials to have a degradation profile insensitive to external pH to achieve consistent release profiles under varying conditions, hydrolysable chemistry techniques developed so far have pH-dependent hydrolytic kinetics. This work reports the design and synthesis of a new type of hydrolysable polymer that has identical hydrolysis kinetics from pH 3 to 11. The unprecedented pH independent hydrolytic kinetics of the aryl ureas were shown to be related to the dynamic bond dissociation controlled hydrolysis mechanism; the resulting hindered poly(aryl urea) can be degraded with a hydrolysis half-life of 10 min in solution. More importantly, these fast degradable hindered aromatic polyureas can be easily prepared by addition polymerization from commercially available monomers and are resistant to hydrolysis in solid form for months under ambient storage conditions. The combined features of good stability in solid state and fast hydrolysis at various pH values is unprecedented in polyurea material, and will have implications for materials design and applications, such as sacrificial coatings and biomaterials.

A convenient synthesis of 2-aminobenzothiazoles, starting from aryl isothiocyanates and formamides under metal-free conditions, is described. Various secondary and tertiary amine- and even α-amino acid-derived formamides can be used as amino sources in this process. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction is initiated by decarbonylative aminyl radical formation in the presence of n-Bu4NI and TBHP, followed by aminyl radical addition to isothiocyanates and cyclization via sulfur centred radical intermediates.

Thiocarbamoyl fluorides were further transformed into trifluoromethylated amines by using a one-pot process. Thiocarbonyl fluoride is generated in situ and is rapidly fully converted in one pot under mild conditions; therefore, no special safety precautions are needed.

- Design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of novel ursolic acid derivatives as potential anticancer agents
-
A series of novel ursolic acid (UA) derivatives modified at the C-3 and the C-28 positions were designed and synthesized in an attempt to develop potential antitumor agents. The in vitro cytotoxicity were evaluated against five cancer cell lines (MGC-803, HCT-116, T24, HepG2 and A549 cell lines) and a normal cell (HL-7702) by MTT assay. The screening results indicated that some of these target compounds displayed moderate to high levels of antiproliferative activities compared with ursolic acid and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and exhibited much lower cytotoxicity than 5-FU, indicating that the targeted compounds had selective and significant effect on the cell lines. The induction of apoptosis and affects on the cell cycle distribution of compound 6r were investigated by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, Hoechst 33258 staining, JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential staining and flow cytometry, which revealed that the antitumor activity of 6r was possibly achieved through the induction of cell apoptosis by G1 cell-cycle arrest. Western blot and qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) experiments demonstrated that compound 6r may induce apoptosis through both of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathway.

- Investigation of (Me4N)SCF3 as a Stable, Solid and Safe Reservoir for S=CF2 as a Surrogate for Thiophosgene
-
While thiophosgene finds widespread usage on a multi-ton scale, its fluorinated counterpart S=CF2 is essentially unexplored in synthesis. Using experimental reactivity tests, ReactIR and computational techniques, we herein showcase that the solid (Me4N)SCF3 functions as a safe reservoir for S=CF2. A key feature is that the reactive electrophile is not simply released over time, but instead is liberated under activation with a protic nucleophile. The reactivity of S=CF2 is mild, allowing large-scale and late-stage synthetic applications without special reaction control. The mechanism was fully elucidated, including a rationalization of the role of the Me4N cation and the origins of selectivity.

- High-performance liquid chromatography-based method to evaluate kinetics of glucosinolate hydrolysis by Sinapis alba myrosinase
-
Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are one of several hydrolysis products of glucosinolates, plant secondary metabolites that are substrates for the thioglucohydrolase myrosinase. Recent pursuits toward the development of synthetic non-natural ITCs have consequently led to an exploration of generating these compounds from non-natural glucosinolate precursors. Evaluation of the myrosinase-dependent conversion of select non-natural glucosinolates to non-natural ITCs cannot be accomplished using established ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic methods. To overcome this limitation, an alternative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based analytical approach was developed where initial reaction velocities were generated from nonlinear reaction progress curves. Validation of this HPLC method was accomplished through parallel evaluation of three glucosinolates with UV-Vis methodology. The results of this study demonstrate that kinetic data are consistent between both analytical methods and that the tested glucosinolates respond similarly to both Michaelis-Menten and specific activity analyses. Consequently, this work resulted in the complete kinetic characterization of three glucosinolates with Sinapis alba myrosinase, with results that were consistent with previous reports.

- Synthesis and evaluation of frentizole-based indolyl thiourea analogues as MAO/ABAD inhibitors for Alzheimer's disease treatment
-
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with an excessive accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ). Based on the multifactorial nature of AD, preparation of multi-target-directed ligands presents a viable option to address more pathological events at one time. A novel class of asymmetrical disubstituted indolyl thioureas have been designed and synthesized to interact with monoamine oxidase (MAO) and/or amyloid-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD). The design combines the features of known MAO inhibitors scaffolds (e.g. rasagiline or ladostigil) and a frentizole moiety with potential to interact with ABAD. Evaluation against MAO identified several compounds that inhibited in the low to moderate micromolar range. The most promising compound (19) inhibited human MAO-A and MAO-B with IC50values of 6.34 μM and 0.30 μM, respectively. ABAD activity evaluation did not show any highly potent compound, but the compound series allowed identification of structural features to assist the future development of ABAD inhibitors. Finally, several of the compounds were found to be potent inhibitors of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), preventing the use of the Amplex Red assay to detect hydrogen peroxide produced by MAO, highlighting the need for serious precautions when using an enzyme-coupled assay.

- New syntheses of aryl isothiocyanates
-
Primary aromatic amines are readily converted into arylimino-1,2,3-dithiazoles 2 and the derived cyanothioformanilides 6, both of which are rapidly cleaved by ethylmagnesium bromide in hot THF to give the corresponding isothiocyanates. The transformation 2→6→ArNCS can be performed as a 'one-pot' operation. The imines 2 are also converted, more slowly, into the isothiocyanates by sodium hydride in hot THF, via the cyanothioformanilides 6. Conversion of the anilides 6 into isothiocyanates is much faster under microwave irradiation in 2,6-lutidine. Mechanisms are proposed for these reactions.

- Thiazolyl-thiadiazines as Beta Site Amyloid Precursor Protein Cleaving Enzyme-1 (BACE-1) Inhibitors and Anti-inflammatory Agents: Multitarget-Directed Ligands for the Efficient Management of Alzheimer's Disease
-
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with multiple neuropathological events including β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE-1) inhibition and neuronal inflammation, ensuing degeneracy, and death to neuronal cells. Targeting such a complex disease via a single target directed treatment was found to be inefficacious. Hence, with an intention to incorporate multiple therapeutic effects within a single molecule, multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) have been evolved. Herein, for the first time, we report the discovery of novel thiazolyl-thiadiazines that can serve as MTDLs as evident from the in vitro and in vivo studies. These MTDLs exhibited BACE-1 inhibition down to micromolar range, and results from the in vivo studies demonstrated efficient anti-inflammatory activity with inherent gastrointestinal safety. Moreover, compound 6d unveiled noteworthy antioxidant, antiamyloid, neuroprotective, and antiamnesic properties. Overall, results of the present study manifest the potential outcome of thiazolyl-thiadiazines for AD treatment.

- Discovery of boronic acid-based potent activators of tumor pyruvate kinase M2 and development of gastroretentive nanoformulation for oral dosing
-
Several studies have established that cancer cells explicitly over-express the less active isoform of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is critical for tumorigenesis. The activation of PKM2 towards tetramer formation may increase affinity towards phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and avoidance of the Warburg effect. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, and development of boronic acid-based molecules as activators of PKM2. The designed molecules were inspired by existing anticancer scaffolds and several fragments were assembled in the derivatives. 6a-6d were synthesized using a multi-step synthetic strategy in 55–70% yields, starting from cheap and readily available materials. The compounds were selectively cytotoxic to kill the cancerous cells at 80 nM, while they were non-toxic to the normal cells. The kinetic studies established the compounds as novel activators of PKM2 and (E/Z)-(4-(3-(2-((4-chlorophenyl)amino)-4-(dimethylamino)thiazol-5-yl)-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl) phenyl)boronic acid (6c) emerged as the most potent derivative. 6c was further evaluated using various in silico tools to understand the molecular mechanism of tetramer formation. Docking studies revealed that 6c binds to the PKM2 dimer at the dimeric interface. Further to ascertain the binding site and mechanism of action, rigorous MD (molecular dynamics) simulations were undertaken, which led to the conclusion that 6c stabilizes the center of the dimeric interface that possibly promotes tetramer formation. We further planned to make a tablet of the developed molecule for oral delivery, but it was seriously impeded owing to poor aqueous solubility of 6c. To improve aqueous solubility and retain 6c at the lower gastrointestinal tract, thiolated chitosan-based nanoparticles (TCNPs) were prepared and further developed as tablet dosage form to retain anticancer potency in the excised goat colon. Our findings may provide a valuable pharmacological mechanism for understanding metabolic underpinnings that may aid in the clinical development of new anticancer agents targeting PKM2.

- p-Aromatic Isothiocyanates: Synthesis and Anti Plant Pathogen Activity
-
In this study, a series of p-aromatic isothiocyanates are prepared by reacting p-aromatic amines with carbon disulphide and further treating with molecular iodine to yield corresponding isothiocyanate derivatives. The structures of newly synthesized compounds are confirmed by IR, NMR, and MS data. Activity of the products against plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria is tested and the structure-activity relationship is approached. p-Nitrophenyl isothiocyanate most efficiently inhibits Rhizoctonia solani and Erwinia carotovora. The order of seven aromatic isothiocyanates antifungicidal activity is following: p-nitrophenyl > p-methoxyphenyl > p-chlorophenyl > p-methylphenyl > p-ethylphenyl > phenyl > p-fluorophenyl. For antibacterial activity, the order was p-nitrophenyl > p-chlorophenyl > p-methylphenyl > p-ethylphenyl > p-fluorophenyl > phenyl > p-methoxyphenyl. The present study indicates that some of the compounds exhibit promising antimicrobial activity and can be used as an alternative to the traditional synthetic fungicides for controlling R. solani and E. carotovora.

However, electron withdrawing substituents were difficult to give target product at room temperature, whereas, they obtained final products in good yield at moderate temperature. In addition, mechanistic studies were revealed that the synthetic route involved iron based subsequent reactions of addition and removal of sulfur.

- NaOH-promoted one-pot aryl isothiocyanate synthesis under mild benchtop conditions
-
In this work, we have established a green synthesis of aryl isothiocyanates promoted by the low-cost and readily available NaOH from aryl amines and carbon disulfide in a one-pot procedure. The developed protocol features no extra desulfurating reagents and mild benchtop conditions, in which NaOH serves as both the base and the desulfurating reagent to decompose the dithiocarbamate intermediate. Fourteen examples of aryl amines bearing electronic neutral, rich and poor substituents, as well as benzylamine, have proved to be compatible substrates in the developed method to furnish the corresponding isothiocyanates. The reaction has been performed on a gram scale to further demonstrate its synthetic utility. Compared to the reported base-promoted synthesis of aryl isothiocyanates that requires the use of special equipment, such as the ball mill or the microwave reactor, the simplicity in operation and scalability enables this method to efficiently access a variety of aryl isothiocyanates.

Seven compounds exhibited protection in both models and N1 - (4-fluorophenyl) - N4- (menth-3-one) semicarbazide (4) emerged as the most active compound with MES ED50 of 44.15mg/kg and scPTZ ED50 of 38.68mg/kg at 0.25h duration. These compounds were found to elevate γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) levels in the midbrain region, thus indicating that (±) 3-menthone semicarbazides could be considered as a lead molecule in designing of a potent anticonvulsant drug.

- Efficient preparation of isothiocyanates from dithiocarbamates using bromineless brominating reagent
-
For the first time, the crystal structure of a ditribromide reagent 1,1'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridinium bistribromide (EDPBT) has been determined. Utilizing this thiophilic bromineless brominating agent EDPBT, highly useful synthetic intermediates (alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates) have been achieved directly from dithiocarbamates. EDPBT can be easily prepared from readily available reagents. It has been used as a thiophilic reagent, and its thiophilicity dominates over its brominating ability for substrates amenable to bromination. This is a sustainable process for the preparation of isothiocyantes because the spent reagent can be recovered, regenerated, and reused. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- Hydrolysis of N-aryl thioncarbamate esters. Modified Marcus equation for reactions with asymmetric intrinsic barriers
-
The hydrolysis of ethyl N-p-substituted arylthioncarbamates was studied at 100°C in the pH range 6.5-12.5. No general catalysis was found, and the presence of an isothiocyanate intermediate was detected, indicating that the alkaline hydrolysis occurs by an E1cb mechanism. From the pH-rate profiles, the first-order rate constants kE for the elimination step of the thioncarbamate anion forming the isothiocyanate intermediate were determined. The alkaline hydrolysis of p-substituted arylisothiocyanates was studied at 25°C in 0.1-0.3 M solutions of NaOH and in 0.1-0.3 M aqueous ethanol solutions, at different concentrations of NaOH. The second-order rate constants for the addition reaction with hydroxide (kOH) and ethoxide (kA) ions were obtained. Leffler plots for the elimination of the ethoxide ion from the arylthioncarbamate anion and for the addition of the ethoxide ion to the arylisothiocyanate were linear. From Leffler's equation, with the sole condition that dαL/dΔG should be constant, a modified Marcus equation (MME) was obtained, where a parameter p (or q for the reverse reaction) defined the asymmetry of the intrinsic barrier. (When p = 1/2 the barrier is symmetric and the MME becomes the Marcus equation in the usual form.) For the addition-elimination reaction studied, both Leffler plots were adjusted to MME with the asymmetric parameter p = 0.694 ± 0.002 for the addition and q = 0.307 ± 0.002 for the elimination reaction. The intrinsic barrier was ΔG0≠ = 24.75 ± 0.02 kcal mol-1 and |ΔGmax| = 438 ± 4 kcal mol-1 (1 kcal = 4.184 kJ). The addition reaction was exoergic and, as expected from the high intrinsic barrier, αL changed very little in the series (0.679-0.683); the transition state was product-like, and it moved towards the reagents with increasing exoergicity.

- A facile one-pot preparation of isothiocyanates from aldoximes
-
Isothiocyanates 2a-l were prepared in excellent yields in a one-pot reaction from aldoxime derivatives 1a-l by successive treatment of aldoxime with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS), thiourea, and triethylamine. The use of HCl/DMF/Oxone system in the reaction instead of NCS was equally effective.

- Discovery of quinazoline derivatives as a novel class of potent and in vivo efficacious LSD1 inhibitors by drug repurposing
-
Histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is an important epigenetic modulator, and is implicated in malignant transformation and tumor pathogenesis in different ways. Therefore, the inhibition of LSD1 provides an attractive therapeutic target for cancer therapy. Based on drug repurposing strategy, we screened our in-house chemical library toward LSD1, and found that the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib, an FDA-approved drug for lung cancer, possessed low potency against LSD1 (IC50 = 35.80 μM). Herein, we report our further medicinal chemistry effort to obtain a highly water-soluble erlotinib analog 5k (>100 mg/mL) with significantly enhanced inhibitory activity against LSD1 (IC50 = 0.69 μM) as well as higher specificity. In MGC-803 cells, 5k suppressed the demethylation of LSD1, indicating its cellular activity against the enzyme. In addition, 5k had a remarkable capacity to inhibit colony formation, suppress migration and induce apoptosis of MGC803 cells. Furthermore, in MGC-803 xenograft mouse model, 5k treatment resulted in significant reduction in tumor size by 81.6% and 96.1% at dosages of 40 and 80 mg/kg/d, respectively. Our findings indicate that erlotinib-based analogs provide a novel structural set of LSD1 inhibitors with potential for further investigation, and may serve as novel candidates for the treatment of LSD1-overexpressing cancers.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 2,4-disubstituted quinazoline derivatives targeting H1975 cells via EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway
-
In order to find new and highly effective anti-tumor drugs with targeted therapeutic effects, a series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives containing N-phenylacetamide structure were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against four human cancer cell lines (H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803) using MTT assay. The results showed that the compound 19e had the most potent antiproliferative activity against H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803 cell lines. At the same time, compound 19e could significantly inhibit the colony formation and migration of H1975 cells. Compound 19e also arrested the H1975 cell cycle in the G1 phase and mediated cell apoptosis, promoted the accumulation of ROS in H1975 cells. Furthermore, compound 19e exerted antitumor effect in vitro by reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and increasing the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and p53. Mechanistically, compound 19e could significantly decreased the phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream protein PI3K in H1975 cells. Which indicated that compound 19e targeted H1975 cell via interfering with EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that compound 19e could bind into the active pocket of EGFR. Those work suggested that compound 19e would have remarkable implications for further design of anti-tumor agents.

- Diaryl-substituted thiosemicarbazone: A potent scaffold for the development of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 inhibitors
-
The superbug infection caused by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) has become an emerging public health threat. Inhibition of NDM-1 has proven challenging due to its shuttling between pathogenic bacteria. A potent scaffold, diaryl-substituted thiosemicarbazone, was constructed and assayed with metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs). The obtained twenty-six molecules specifically inhibited NDM-1 with IC50 0.038–34.7 μM range (except 1e, 2e, and 3d), and 1c is the most potent inhibitor (IC50 = 0.038 μM). The structure-activity relationship of synthetic thiosemicarbazones revealed that the diaryl-substitutes, specifically 2-pyridine and 2-hydroxylbenzene improved inhibitory activities of the inhibitors. The thiosemicarbazones exhibited synergistic antimycobacterial actions against E. coli-NDM-1, resulted a 2–512-fold reduction in MIC of meropenem, while 1c restored 16–256-, 16-, and 2-fold activity of the antibiotic on clinical isolates ECs, K. pneumonia and P. aeruginosa harboring NDM-1, respectively. Also, mice experiments showed that 1c had a synergistic antibacterial ability with meropenem, reduced the bacterial load clinical isolate EC08 in the spleen and liver. This work provided a highly promising scaffold for the development of NDM-1 inhibitors.

- Synthesis method of 2-aminothiazole pyrimidine serving as CDK2 inhibitor
-
The invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis and medicines, and particularly discloses a synthesis method of 2-aminothiazole pyrimidine serving as a CDK/2 inhibitor. The synthesismethod comprises the following steps: converting amino into isothiocyanate, reacting the isothiocyanate with primary amine to generate thiourea, and carrying out Hantzsch thiazole synthesis reaction,fluorination reaction and condensation of enaminone and guanidine hydrochloride to form a pyrimidine ring. According to the method, through five steps of reactions, the total yield reaches 35%-48%. The method has the advantages that a traditional fluorination method is replaced by photocatalysis; the yield of the whole process is greatly increased, the yield is increased to 85% from 35% through the fluorination reaction, and compared with a traditional fluorination method in a low-temperature ice salt bath, the method is milder in condition, only needs to be carried out at the room temperature, and is a good process for synthesizing the CDK/2 inhibitor 2-aminothiazole pyrimidine.

- Thiosemicarbazone-based lead optimization to discover high-efficiency and low-toxicity anti-gastric cancer agents
-
In this paper, a series of thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing different aromatic heterocyclic groups were synthesized and the tridentate donor system of the lead compound was optimized. Most of the target compounds showed improved antiproliferative activity against MGC803 cells. SAR studies revealed that compound 5d displayed significant advantages in inhibition effect with an IC50 value of 0.031 μM, and better selectivity between cancer and normal cells than 3-AP and DpC (about 15- and 5-fold improved respectively). Besides, compound 5d showed selective antiproliferative activity in not only other cancer cells but also different gastric cancer cell lines. In-depth mechanism studies showed that compound 5d could induce mitochondria-related apoptosis which might be related to the elevation of intracellular ROS level, and cause cell cycle arrest at S phase. Moreover, 5d could evidently suppress the cell migration and invasion by blocking the EMT (epithelial–mesenchymal transition) process. Consequently, our studies provided a lead optimization strategy of thiosemicarbazone derivatives which would contribute to discover high-efficiency and low-toxicity agents for the treatment of gastric cancer.

- Synthesis, anti-proliferative activity, SAR, and kinase inhibition studies of thiazol-2-yl- substituted sulfonamide derivatives
-
A series of novel thiazol-2-yl substituted-1-sulfonamide derivatives were synthesized from anilines. This involved the coupling of sulfonyl chlorides with thiazol amine to obtain the final compounds 7a–7j and 8a–8j. All synthesized compounds were screened for anticancer activity against MCF-7, HeLa, A-549, and Du-145 cancer cell lines by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Preliminary bioassay suggests that most of the compounds show anti-proliferation to different degrees, with doxorubicin used as positive control. The synthesized compounds show IC50 values in the range 2.74–8.17 μM in the different cell lines. The compounds 7d, 7e, 8a, 8d, and 8e were active compared to doxorubicin. The compounds having butyl and pantyl chains were more active than their lower and higher carbon chains and also their ring counterparts.

- Design, computational studies, synthesis and biological evaluation of thiazole-based molecules as anticancer agents
-
Background: Abolition of cancer warrants effective treatment modalities directed towards specific pathways dysregulated in tumor proliferation and survival. The antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins are significantly altered in several tumor types which position them as striking targets for therapeutic intervention. Here we designed, computationally evaluated, synthesized, and biologically tested structurally optimized thiazole-based small molecules as anticancer agents. Methods: The virtually designed 200 molecules were subjected to rigorous docking and in silico ADME-Toxicity studies. Out of this, 23 skeletally diverse thiazole-based molecules which passed pan assay interference compounds (PAINS) filter and were synthetically feasible were synthesized in 3 steps using cheap and readily available reagents. The molecules were in vitro evaluated against Bcl-2-Jurkat, A-431 cancerous cell lines and ARPE-19 cell lines. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation studies were performed to analyse conformational changes induced by ligand 32 in Bcl-2. Flow cytometry analysis of compound 32 treated Bcl-2 cells was done to check apoptosis. Results: The molecules exhibited appreciable interactions with Bcl-2 and were having acceptable drug like properties as tested in silico. The multi step synthesis yielded 23 skeletally diverse thiazole-based molecules in up to 80% yield. The molecules simultaneously inhibited Bcl-2 Jurkat cells in vitro without causing detectable toxicity to normal cells (ARPE-19 cells). Among them molecules 32, 50, 53, 57 and 59 showed considerable activities against Bcl-2 Jurkat and A-431cell lines at concentrations ranging from 32–46 μM and 34–52 μM, respectively. The standard doxorubicin exhibited IC50 in Bcl-2 Jurkat and A-431cell lines at 45.87 μM and 42.37 μM, respectively. The molecule 32, almost equipotent in both the cell lines was subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with Bcl-2 protein (4IEH). It was shown that 32 interacted with protein majorly via hydrophobic interactions and few H-bonding interactions. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis established that molecule is dragging cancerous cells towards apoptosis. Discussion and conclusion: The chemical intuition was checked by computation coupled with biological results confirmed that thiazole-based hits have the potential to be developed downstream into potent and safer leads against antiapoptotic Bcl-2 cells.

A series of novel quinazolinone derivatives bearing a disulfide bond were designed and synthesized. Their in vitro antiproliferative activities were evaluated using CCK-8 assay against SMMC-7721, Hela, A549 and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines and normal cell lines L929. The preliminary bioassay results demonstrated that all compounds 7a–7h, 8a–8h and 9a–9h exhibited antiproliferation with various degrees, and some compounds showed better effects than positive control 5-fluorouracil against different cancer cell lines. Among these compounds, 8c and 9f showed significant antiproliferative activity against SMMC-7721 cells with IC50 values of 2.88 and 2.56 μM, respectively. In Hela cells, compounds 9c and 9d showed highly effective biological activity with IC50 values of 3.16 and 2.68 μM, respectively. Compounds 7a and 9a exhibited good inhibitory effect against A549 cells with IC50 values of 3.53 and 3.54 μM, respectively. In MCF-7 cells, compounds 7e, 8e and 9e displayed excellent activity with IC50 values of 1.26, 1.12 and 1.85 μM, respectively. Besides, most of the tested compounds showed low cytotoxic effect against the normal cell lines L929. Biological evaluation indicated that all the tested compounds possessed antibacterial activity with certain degrees.

- 2-Aminothiazole Derivatives as Selective Allosteric Modulators of the Protein Kinase CK2. 2. Structure-Based Optimization and Investigation of Effects Specific to the Allosteric Mode of Action
-
Protein CK2 has gained much interest as an anticancer drug target in the past decade. We had previously described the identification of a new allosteric site on the catalytic α-subunit, along with first small molecule ligands based on the 4-(4-phenylthiazol-2-ylamino)benzoic acid scaffold. In the present work, structure optimizations guided by a binding model led to the identification of the lead compound 2-hydroxy-4-((4-(naphthalen-2-yl)thiazol-2-yl)amino)benzoic acid (27), showing a submicromolar potency against purified CK2α (IC50 = 0.6 μM). Furthermore, 27 induced apoptosis and cell death in 786-O renal cell carcinoma cells (EC50 = 5 μM) and inhibited STAT3 activation even more potently than the ATP-competitive drug candidate CX-4945 (EC50 of 1.6 μM vs 5.3 μM). Notably, the potencies of our allosteric ligands to inhibit CK2 varied depending on the individual substrate. Altogether, the novel allosteric pocket was proved a druggable site, offering an excellent perspective to develop efficient and selective allosteric CK2 inhibitors.

- Novel thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing indole fragment as potent and selective anticancer agent
-
Potent and safe anticancer drugs research and development are still on the way to human health. In this report, a series of novel thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing indole fragment were designed and synthesized. Most compounds exhibited excellent antiproliferative activity against PC3, MGC803 and EC109 cell lines with low micromolar IC50 (0.14–12μM). Especially, compound 5j can selectively inhibit PC3 cells in three tested tumor cells with IC50 value of 0.14 μM, which may be attributed to a synergistic effect after introducing indole fragment into the TSC structure. Meanwhile, compound 5j displayed more selectivity in PC3 cells toward two normal WPMY-1 and GES-1 cell lines, compared to those of 3-AP and DPC. We also found that 5j can effectively inhibit PC3 cell proliferation, colonization and induce apoptosis. What's more, 5j may significantly suppress migration and invasion by blocking the EMT process but had no effect on cell cycle. Collectively, our findings indicate that 5j with structure of thiosemicarbazone containing indole may serve as a useful anticancer lead for further optimization and development.

- Unclicking of thioureas: Base catalyzed elimination of anilines and isothiocyanates from thioureas
-
Bisaromatic thioureas are widely used in e.g. asymmetric organocatalysis and considered to be robust compounds. Herein we show, in strong contrast to common notion, that thioureas dissociate to amines and isothiocyanates in a base catalyzed reaction under mild conditions. This ‘unclicking’ process can occur in the presence of weak organic bases even at moderate temperatures. The influence of the substituents at the aromatic rings of the thiourea on the regioselectivity of this unclicking process is also shown.

- Na2S2O8-mediated efficient synthesis of isothiocyanates from primary amines in water
-
We have developed two green, practical, and efficient procedures, including a one-pot one, to synthesize isothiocyanates from amines and carbon disulfide via desulfurization with sodium persulfate. Water is used as the solvent. Basic conditions are necessary for good chemoselectivity for isothiocyanates. Structurally diverse linear and branched alkyl amines and aryl amines are readily converted to isothiocyanates by the two procedures in satisfactory yields. Halogens, benzylic C-H bonds, methylthio, nitro, ester, alkenyl, electron-rich or -deficient (hetero)aryls, acetylenyl, and even phenolic and alcoholic hydroxyls are well tolerated. The one-pot procedure in water can also be used to realize the preparation of chiral isothiocyanates from chiral amines, and the modification of bioactive structures with free amino groups. In large-scale preparation, simple and practical purification procedures independent of column chromatography are developed.

- Differentiating Antiproliferative and Chemopreventive Modes of Activity for Electron-Deficient Aryl Isothiocyanates against Human MCF-7 Cells
-
The consumption of Brassica vegetables provides beneficial effects through organic isothiocyanates (ITCs), products of the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolate secondary metabolites. The ITC l-sulforaphane (l-SFN) is the principle agent in broccoli that demonstrates several modes of anticancer action. While the anticancer properties of ITCs like l-SFN have been extensively studied and l-SFN has been the subject of multiple human clinical trials, the scope of this work has largely been limited to those derivatives found in nature. Previous studies have demonstrated that structural changes in an ITC can lead to marked differences in a compound's potency to 1) inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and 2) alter cellular transcriptional profiles. This study describes the preparation of a library of non-natural aryl ITCs and the development of a bifurcated screening approach to evaluate the dose- and time-dependence on antiproliferative and chemopreventive properties against human MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Antiproliferative effects were evaluated using a commercial MTS cell viability assay. Chemopreventive properties were evaluated using an antioxidant response element (ARE)-promoted luciferase reporter assay. The results of this study have led to the identification of 1) several key structure–activity relationships and 2) lead ITCs for continued development.

Under irradiation with green LEDs, a sulfur radical is generated in situ from thiourea, followed by addition to the enol tautomer, forming the aminothiazole backbone. This novel strategy provides a greener alternative to the traditional leaving group protocols, with excellent atom economy. (Figure presented.).

- N,N'-bis-substituted aryl thiourea derivatives and synthetic method and application thereof
-
The invention discloses N,N'-bis-substituted aryl thiourea derivatives which are a series of compounds simultaneously containing various substituted aromatic ring structures and asymmetric substituted thiourea structures and are all novel structural compounds which are not reported in the literature. The biological activity test analysis of all the target compounds includes determination of DPPH antioxidant activity and antiviral activity. Results indicate that, in general, the designed and synthesized compounds are novel in structures and have the antioxidant activity and the antiviral activity revealed for the first time. In addition, the unknown biological activity is not fully elucidated, and thus the compounds are expected to provide a certain material basis for further research and development of new drugs.

- Alkali-free green synthetic isothiocyanate method
-
The invention discloses an alkali-free green synthetic method for isothiocyanate, and relates to the field of organic chemical industry. The method includes the steps: (1) adding solvents into carbon sulfide reagents and primary amine serving as raw materials, performing organic reaction at the temperature of 100-150 DEG C for 10-30 hours; (2) cooling and spin-drying the raw materials after reaction, adding dichloromethane, extracting and separating organic phases by 10% of dilute hydrochloride acid, washing the organic phases, combining the organic phases into an organic layer, washing the organic layer with saturated salt water, drying the organic layer by anhydrous Na2SO4, and performing column chromatographic separation to obtain the isothiocyanate. The molar ratio of the carbon sulfide reagents to the primary amine is 1:1.2-3. Compared with a preparation method in the prior art, the method has the advantages that only heating reaction needs to be performed in the solvents, additional alkali is omitted, and the method is greener and more environmentally friendly and has better application values.

- Integrated bioinformatics, computational and experimental methods to discover novel Raf/extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) dual inhibitors against breast cancer cells
-
Beginning with our previously reported ERK inhibitor BL-EI001, we found Raf1 to be an important regulator in the ERK interactive network, and then we designed and synthesized a novel series of Raf1/ERK dual inhibitors against human breast cancers through integrative computational, synthetic and biological screening methods. Moreover, we found that compound 9d suppressed the proliferation of breast cancer cell lines and induced cellular apoptosis via a mitochondrial pathway with only partial dependence on Raf1 and ERK. Our results suggest that an integrative method including in silico design, chemical synthesis, biological screening and bioinformatics analysis could be an attractive strategy for the discovery of multi-target inhibitors against breast cancer.

- A sulfur on behalf of the barbituric acid derivative for the probe molecule detecting secondary amine method and its preparation
-
The invention discloses a method for detecting secondary amine with thiobarbituric acid derivatives (TBAs) serving as ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis) spectrophotometric method probe molecules and preparation of the thiobarbituric acid derivatives for detecting secondary amine. The probe molecules are prepared from primary amine through a preparation line of a system. The probe molecules are provided with a furan ring (or thiophene ring) for recognizing secondary amine, an independent probe molecule solution is yellow, and along with addition of secondary amine, the solution becomes red from yellow. A molecular probe is high in selectivity and sensitivity to secondary amine, the response range to secondary amine is 100 micrometers to 400 micrometers, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 12 micrometers. Test paper can be prepared from the probe molecules, and qualitative detection on secondary amine can be achieved fast with low cost. The method can be widely applied to fast and sensitive detection such as online detection of secondary amine compounds, food analysis and environmental monitoring in the industrial process.

- An isocyanide based multi-component reaction under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions for the synthesis of unsymmetrical thioureas
-
A new and efficient method for the synthesis of thiourea derivatives by a sequential one-pot, three-component reaction between aromatic isocyanides, amines, and 1,2-di-tert-butyldisulfane (DTBS) was developed and 27 different examples were synthesized in good to excellent yields. DTBS was identified as an effective sulfur surrogate without the use of both catalysts and solvents. This protocol does not employ any transition metal catalyst or special experimental setup.
