A series of new sorafenib derivatives was designed and synthesized. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds against human lung cancer cell (A549), human pancreatic cancer cell (PC-3), human leukemia cell (K562), and human hepatoma cell (SMMC-7721) was evaluated by MTT assay. The results revealed that several compounds displayed more significant antitumor activities than commercial anticancer agent sorafenib against SMMC-7721. In addition, compounds 7a, 7g, 7l, 7m, and 7p represented obvious growth inhibition with IC50 values of 1-9 μM against four cancer cell lines, demonstrating more predominant activities against cancer cells as compared to sorafenib. Furthermore, some structure-activity relationships have also been established. Compounds containing indole and benzene ring substituted by halogen showed better activity than sorafenib. Wound healing assay suggested that cells would be targeted on their migratory capacity by 7g, potentially affecting the migration activity of these tumors. The effects of A549 and PC-3 cell apoptosis induced by compound 7g were significantly increased compared with sorafenib. Importantly, the result of western blot assay showed that 7g inhibited cell growth by suppressing the activity of EGFR, especially the expression of p-EGFR (Tyr1068).

As a continuation for our previous work, a novel set of N-alkylindole-isatin conjugates (7, 8a–c, 9 and 10a–e) is here designed and synthesised with the prime aim to develop more efficient isatin-based antitumor candidates. Utilising the SAR outputs from the previous study, our design here is based on appending four alkyl groups with different length (ethyl and n-propyl), bulkiness (iso-propyl) and unsaturation (allyl) on N-1 of indole motif, with subsequent conjugation with different N-unsubstituted isatin moieties to furnish the target conjugates. As planned, the adopted strategy achieved a substantial improvement in the growth inhibitory profile for the target conjugates in comparison to the reported lead VI. The best results were obtained with N-propylindole –5-methylisatin hybrid 8a which displayed broad spectrum anti-proliferative action with efficient sub-panel GI50 (MG-MID) range from 1.33 to 4.23 μM, and promising full-panel GI50 (MG-MID) equals 3.10 μM, at the NCI five-dose assay. Also, hybrid 8a was able to provoke cell cycle disturbance and apoptosis in breast T-47D cells as evidenced by the DNA flow cytometry and Annexin V-FITC/PI assays. Furthermore, hybrid 8a exhibited good inhibitory action against cell cycle regulator CDK2 protein kinase and the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein (IC50= 0.85 ± 0.03 and 0.46 ± 0.02 μM, respectively). Interestingly, molecular docking for hybrid 8a in CDK2 and Bcl-2 active sites unveiled that N-propyl group is involved in significant hydrophobic interactions. Taken together, the results suggested conjugate 8a as a promising lead for further development and optimisation as an efficient antitumor drug.

The visible-light-mediated oxygenation of 3-N,N-(dimethylaminomethyl)-indoles bearing various substituents afforded a series of 3-carbaindole derivatives. Herein we describe the reaction scope, a plausible mechanism and a practical application of this transformation in the formal synthesis of (–)-vincorine is described as well.

On account of their significance as apoptosis inducing agents, merging indole and 3-hydrazinoindolin-2-one scaffolds is a logic tactic for designing pro-apoptotic agents. Consequently, 27 hybrids (6a–r, 9a–f and 11a–c) were synthesised and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against MCF-7, HepG-2 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. SAR studies unravelled that N-propylindole derivatives were the most active compounds such as 6n (MCF-7; IC50=1.04 μM), which displayed a significant decrease of cell population in the G2/M phase and significant increase in the early and late apoptosis by 19-folds in Annexin-V-FTIC assay. Also, 6n increased the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, cytochrome C and Bax and decreased the expression of Bcl-2. Moreover, compounds 6i, 6j, 6n and 6q generated ROS by significant increase in the level of SOD and depletion of the levels of CAT and GSH-Px in MCF-7.

A series of novel thiocarbohydrazones of substituted indoles and their corresponding thiadiazole derivatives were prepared, and their structures were confirmed by different analytical and spectroscopic methods. The derivatives were prepared by a sequential synthetic strategy including substitution at N-1 position of indole ring by various aliphatic and benzylic substituents, followed by condensation with thiocarbohydrazide, and finally cyclization by triethyl orthoformate. The derivatives were tested for their antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium bovis BCG, and the results revealed that among the synthesized compounds, thiadiazole derivatives 4e, 4f, 4n, 4p, 4q, and 4t exhibited the highest activity with IC50 value of 3.91 μg/mL. The results indicate that the thiadiazole moiety plays a vital role in exerting antimycobacterial activity. A series of indole-based thiadiazole derivatives with various substitutions at N-1 position of indole ring have been synthesized and tested for their antimycobacterial activity. Compounds 4e (R = butyl), 4f (R = pentyl), 4n (R = 4-fluorobenzyl), 4p (R = 4-chlorobenzyl), 4q (R = 4-bromobenzyl) and 4t (R = 4-methoxybenzyl) were the most potent derivatives with IC50 value of 3.91 μg/mL.

This work presents the first structure-based activity prediction model for benzothiadiazines against various genotypes of HCV NS5b polymerase (1a, 1b and 4).The model is a comprehensive workflow of structure-based field template followed by guided docking. The field template was used as a pre-filter and a tool to provide hits in good orientation and position. It was created based on detailed molecular interaction field analysis which includes Topomer CoMFA, grid independent analysis and Superstar. On the other hand, Guided docking was used as a refinement and assessment tool. It was actively directed by two scores: Moldock score as an interaction descriptor (r2 = 0.65) and a template similarity score as a measure for accurate binding-mode compliance. The docking template was based on energy-based pharmacophore analysis. The whole procedure was formulated and tweaked for both screening (ROC of AUC = 0.91) and activity prediction (r2 of 0.8) for the genotype 1a. In order to widen the model scope, linear interaction energy was used as a tool for predicting activities of other genotypes based on the docked ligand poses while mutation binding energy was used to investigate the effect of each amino acid mutation in genotype 4. The model was applied for structure-based fragment hopping by screening a library designed by reaction enumeration. A top scoring hit was used to generate a focused library such that it has lower TPSA than the original class ligands and thus better pharmacokinetic properties. After that, experimental validation was carried out by the synthesis of this library and its biological evaluation which yielded compounds that exhibit EC50 ranging from 1.86 to 23 μM.

The solid-liquid phase alkylation of a variety of five-membered N-heterocycles (carbazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, and indole-3-carbaldehyde) was carried out under different conditions. The use of alkali carbonate in dimethylformamide or in MeCN (in the latter case, in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst) is a suitable method to prepare the corresponding N-alkylated products in an efficient way. In most cases, the solventless, microwave-assisted reaction is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional methods. Copyrigh
