Inhibiting VEGFR-2 has been set up as a therapeutic strategy for treatment of cancer. Thus, nineteen new quinazoline-4(3H)-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Preliminary cytotoxicity studies of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (HepG-2, MCF-7 and HCT-116) using MTT assay method. Doxorubicin and sorafenib were used as positive controls. Five compounds were found to have promising cytotoxic activities against all cell lines. Compound 16f, containing a 2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl group, has emerged as the most active member. It was approximately 4.39-, 5.73- and 1.96-fold more active than doxorubicin and 3.88-, 5.59- and 1.84-fold more active than sorafenib against HepG2, HCT-116 and MCF-7 cells, respectively. The most active cytotoxic agents were further evaluated in vitro for their VEGFR-2 inhibitory activities. The results of in vitro VEGFR-2 inhibition were consistent with that of the cytotoxicity data. Molecular docking of these compounds into the kinase domain, moreover, supported the results.

Eleven new quinoxaline derivatives were designed and synthesized as modified VEGFR-2 inhibitors of our previous work. The synthesized compounds were tested against three human cancer cell lines (HepG-2, MCF-7 and HCT-116). Compounds11g,11eand11cwere the most potent members against the tested cells. Compound11g(IC50= 4.50, 2.40, and 5.90 μM) was the most potent member compared to doxorubicin (IC50= 8.29, 9.65, and 7.68 μM) and sorafenib (IC50= 7.33, 9.41, and 7.23 μM) against HepG-2 and HCT-116, and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. Compound11eshowed better anti-proliferative activities than doxorubicin and sorafenib with IC50values of 5.34, 4.19, and 6.06 μM, against HepG-2 and HCT-116 and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. In addition, the most active anti-proliferative derivatives11c,11e,11f, and11gwere selected to evaluate their inhibitory activities against VEGFR-2. The tested compounds displayed good inhibitory activity with IC50values ranging from 0.75 to 1.36 μM. Among them, compound11gwas the most active member with an IC50value of 0.75 μM, compared to the reference drug; sorafenib (IC50= 1.29 μM). Moreover, docking studies revealed that the synthesized compounds have good binding patterns against the prospective molecular target; VEGFR-2. In addition,in silico, ADMET and toxicity studies showed a high level of drug likeness for the synthesized compounds.

Sixteen novel quinazoline-based derivatives were designed and synthesized via modification of the VEGFR-2 reported inhibitor 7 in order to increase the binding affinity of the designed compounds to the receptor active site. The designed compounds were evaluated for their VEGFR-2 inhibitory effects. Inhibiting VEGFR-2 has been set up as a therapeutic strategy for treatment of cancer. The bioactivity of the new compounds was performed against HepG-2, MCF-7 and HCT-116 cell lines. Doxorubicin and sorafenib were used as positive controls. Compound 18d was observed to have promising cytotoxic activity (IC50 = 3.74 ± 0.14, 5.00 ± 0.20 and 6.77 ± 0.27 μM) in comparison to the reference drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 8.28, 9.63 and 7.67 μM) and sorafenib (IC50 = 7.31, 9.40 and 7.21 μM). The most active compounds were tested for their in vitro VEGFR-2 inhibitory activities. Results of VEGFR-2 inhibition were consistent with that of the cytotoxicity data. Thus, compound 18d showed VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.340 ± 0.04 μM) superior to that of the reference drug, sorafenib (IC50 = 0.588 ± 0.06 μM). Furthermore, docking study was performed in order to understand the binding pattern of the new compounds into VEGFR-2 active site. Docking results attributed the potent VEGFR-2 inhibitory effect of the new compounds as they bound to the key amino acids in the active site, Glu883 and Asp1044, as well as their hydrophobic interaction with the receptor hydrophobic pocket. Results of cytotoxic activities, in vitro VEGFR-2 inhibition together with docking study argument the advantages of the synthesized analogues as promising anti-angiogenic agents.

Background: Cancer has become one of the global health issues and it is the life-threatening disease characterized by unrestrained growth of cells. Despite various advances being adopted by chemotherapeutic management, the use of the current anticancer drugs such as Doxorubicin, Asparginase, Methotrexate, Vincristine remains limited due to high toxicity, side effects and developing drug resistance. Apoptosis is a crucial cellular process and improper regulation of apoptotic signaling pathways may lead to cancer formation. Subsequently, the synthesis of effective chemotherapeutic agents that can induce apoptosis in tumor cell has emerged as a significant approach in cancer drug discovery. Methods: The goal of this work is to develop a potential antitumor agent exerting significant inhibitory effects on cancer cell and low cytotoxicity, for which we focused on the structural features of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles as it a privileged scaffold in modern medicinal chemistry and have the ability to inhibit growth factors, enzymes and kinases potentially involved in the attainment of cellular immortality and carcinogenesis. Result: In vitro MTT screening assay showed the compound 5-aminophenyl-2-butylthio-1,3,4-oxadiazole (5e) showing the highest inhibitory effect against MCF-7 cancer cell with IC50 value 10.05?±?1.08?μM while it is much safer and less toxic on normal cell line (HEK-293). The dose-dependent treatment of MCF-7 cells with 5e resulted in inhibition of cell migration in the wound healing assay. The flow-cytometry analysis showed the cells arrested in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Compound 5e induced apoptosis of MCF-7 cells was characterized using DAPI staining and Annexin V-PE/7-AAD dual binding assay. Reduction of NBT by compound 5e showed a reduced generation of ROS. Western blotting studies showed high activation of apoptotic protein Caspase3 and decrease in expression of anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2. Conclusion: Based on the results of in vitro studies, it could be concluded that compound 5e showed a significant inhibitory growth effect on MCF-7 cells and have the potential to be developed as lead molecule and further structural modifications may result in promising new anticancer agents.

A series of benzoic acid hydrazones and its nicotinyl derivatives (1-10) were prepared and evaluated for their antitubercular activity towards a strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by infrared (IR) and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral data and elemental analysis. The in vitro antitubercular activity of synthesized compounds against MTB was carried out in Middlebrook 7H11agar medium supplemented with OADC by agar dilution method. The antitubercular activity results indicated that nicotinic acid N-(3,5-dinitro-benzoyl)-N′-(4-methoxy-benzylidene)-hydrazide (1) is the most potent among the synthesized compounds with MIC of 3.5 × 10 -3 μM.
