- Organocatalytic Cascade Reactions for the Diversification of Thiopyrano-Piperidone Fused Rings Utilizing Trienamine Activation
-
An aminocatalytic privileged diversity-oriented synthesis (ApDOS) strategy utilizing trienamine catalysis for the construction of diverse and complex thiopyrans-piperidone fused rings through a thia-Diels–Alder/nucleophilic ring-closing sequence by using dithioamides as activated heterodienophiles is reported. Following this strategy, a super cascade reaction to assemble nine fused rings can be achieved by employing a bis-dithioamide. Additionally, by linking an indole moiety on the dithioamide, a Pictet–Spengler type reaction can be promoted once the cascade sequence has been achieved, leading to more complex penta- hexa- and heptacyclic fused ring derivatives in a one-pot process. This investigation opens new perspectives for the synthesis of a new class of complex and diverse thiopyrans that contribute to populate new relevant regions in the chemical space.

- Methoxy-substituted tyramine derivatives synthesis, computational studies and tyrosinase inhibitory kinetics
-
Targeting tyrosinase for melanogenesis disorders is an established strategy. Hydroxyl-substituted benzoic and cinnamic acid scaffolds were incorporated into new chemotypes that displayed in vitro inhibitory effects against mushroom and human tyrosinase for the purpose of identifying anti-melanogenic ingredients. The most active compound 2-((4-methoxyphenethyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl (E)-3-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl) acrylate (Ph9), inhibited mushroom tyrosinase with an IC50 of 0.059 nM, while 2-((4-methoxyphenethyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl cinnamate (Ph6) had an IC50 of 2.1 nM compared to the positive control, kojic acid IC50 16700 nM. Results of human tyrosinase inhibitory activity in A375 human melanoma cells showed that compound (Ph9) and Ph6 exhibited 94.6% and 92.2% inhibitory activity respectively while the positive control kojic acid showed 72.9% inhibition. Enzyme kinetics reflected a mixed type of inhibition for inhibitor Ph9 (Ki 0.093 nM) and non-competitive inhibition for Ph6 (Ki 2.3 nM) revealed from Lineweaver–Burk plots. In silico docking studies with mushroom tyrosinase (PDB ID:2Y9X) predicted possible binding modes in the catalytic site for these active compounds. Ph9 displayed no PAINS (pan-assay interference compounds) alerts. Our results showed that compound Ph9 is a potential candidate for further development of tyrosinase inhibitors.

- Novel chromenyl-based 2-iminothiazolidin-4-one derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modelling studies
-
Here-in, we present molecular design, chemical synthesis and evaluation of novel chromenyl-based 2-iminothiazolidin-4-one derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicities against A549 (lung cancer), MDA-MB-231 and BT-471 (breast cancer), HepG2 (liver cancer) and HCT-116 (colon cancer) cell lines by MTT assay. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 12b showed excellent anticancer activity on MDA-MB-231 cell line with IC50 value of 0.95 ± 1.88 μM and was verified to be safe in normal human bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B). Apoptosis induced by the lead 12b was observed using morphological observations, AO/EB and DAPI staining procedures. Further, dose-dependent increase in the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane was also observed through JC-1 staining. Annexin V-FITC/PI assay confirmed that 12b induced early apoptosis. Additionally, cell cycle analysis indicated that the MDA-MB-231 cells were arrested at sub-G2/M phase and also inhibited tubulin polymerization with IC50 value of 3.54 ± 0.2 μM. Molecular docking simulations were employed to identify the important binding modes responsible for the tubulin inhibitory activity, thus supporting their effective anticancer potential.

- Development of triazolothiadiazine derivatives as highly potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors: Structure-activity relationship, in vitro and in vivo study
-
Based on our prior work, we reported the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of fifty-two new triazolothiadiazine-based analogues of CA-4 and their preliminary structure-activity relationship. Among synthesized compounds, Iab was found to be the most potent derivative possessing IC50 values ranging from single-to double-digit nanomolar in vitro, and also exhibited excellent selectivity over the normal human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells (IC50 > 100 μM). Further mechanistic studies revealed that Iab significantly blocked tubulin polymerization and disrupted the intracellular microtubule network of A549 cells. Moreover, Iab induced G2/M cell cycle arrest by regulation of p-cdc2 and cyclin B1 expressions, and caused cell apoptosis through up-regulating cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-3 expressions, and down-regulating of Bcl-2. Importantly, in vivo, Iab effectively suppressed tumor growth of A549 lung cancers in a xenograft mouse model without obvious signs of toxicity, confirming its potential as a promising candidate for cancer treatment.

- Discovery of certain benzyl/phenethyl thiazolidinone-indole hybrids as potential anti-proliferative agents: Synthesis, molecular modeling and tubulin polymerization inhibition study
-
A series of certain benzyl/phenethyl thiazolidinone-indole hybrids were synthesized for the study of anti-proliferative activity against A549, NCI-H460 (lung cancer), MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer), HCT-29 and HCT-15 (colon cancer) cell lines by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). We found that compound G37 displayed highest cytotoxicity with IC50 value of 0.92 ± 0.12 μM towards HCT-15 cancer cell line among all the synthesized compounds. Moreover, compound G37 was also tested on normal human lung epithelial cells (L132) and was found to be safe in contrast to HCT-15 cells. The lead compound G37 showed significant G2/M phase arrest in HCT-15 cells. Additionally, compound G37 significantly inhibited tubulin polymerization with IC50 value of 2.92 ± 0.23 μM. Mechanistic studies such as acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) dual staining, DAPI nuclear staining, annexinV/propidium iodide dual staining, clonogenic growth inhibition assays inferred that compound G37 induced apoptotic cell death in HCT-15 cells. Moreover, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential with elevated intracellular ROS levels was observed by compound G37. These compounds bind at the active pocket of the α/β-tubulin with higher number of stable hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic and arene-cation interactions confirmed by molecular modeling studies.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 3-alkylsulfanyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives
-
Based on our previous work, a series of novel 3-alkylsulfanyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities. The results indicated that some compounds possessed significant antiproliferative activities against four cancer cell lines, HepG2, HCT116, PC-3, and Hela. Particularly, the most promising compound 8d displayed 184-, 18-, and 17-fold improvement compared to fluorouracil in inhibiting HCT116, Hela and PC-3 cell proliferation with IC50values of 0.37, 2.94, and 31.31 μM, respectively. Most interestingly, the compound did not affect the normal human embryonic kidney cells, HEK-293. Moreover, mechanistic investigation showed that the representative compound 8d induced apoptosis and blocked cell cycle in G2/M phase in Hela cells in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that compound 8d may have potential to be developed as a promising lead for the design of novel anticancer small-molecule drugs.

- Modulating the development of E. coli biofilms with 2-aminoimidazoles
-
The synthesis of a 20 member 2-aminoimidazole/triazole pilot library is reported. Each member of the library was screened for its ability to inhibit or promote biofilm development of either Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baumannii. From this screen, E. coli-selective 2-aminoimidazoles were discovered, with the best inhibitor inhibiting biofilm development with an IC50 of 13 μM. The most potent promoter of E. coli biofilm formation promoted biofilm development by 321% at 400 μM.

- Synthesis of a small library of phenylalkylamide derivatives as melatoninergic ligands for human mt1 and MT2 receptors
-
Focused small libraries of melatonin receptor ligands from arylalkylamine derivatives were synthesised by combinatorial chemistry using the mix and split method in the solid phase. A library of 108 compounds was then synthesised from 12 arylalkyl amines and nine carboxylic acids. The compound mixtures were evaluated on chicken brain melatonin and recombinant human mt1 and MT2 receptors. Deconvolution of the most potent mixture demonstrated the superiority of 3-methoxy and 2,5-dimethoxy substitution on the phenyl ring with isopropyl, propyl and ethyl amido chains. Several compounds with nanomolar affinity for human melatonin receptors were obtained. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

- Substituted 1-(aminomethyl)-2-(arylacetyl)-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinolines: A novel class of very potent antinociceptive agents with varying degrees of selectivity for κ and μ opioid receptors
-
This study describes the synthesis of a series of novel substituted 1- (aminomethyl)-2-(arylacetyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, and discusses their structure-activity relationships (SARs) using binding affinity for opioid receptors and antinociceptive potency as the indices of biological activity. The introduction of a hydroxy substituent in position 5 of the isoquinoline nucleus generated a compound, 40, which is 2 times more potent than the previously disclosed unsubstituted analogue 39 in mouse models of antinociception. A QSAR analysis of the 5-substitution clearly demonstrates that antinociceptive activity is inversely associated with the lipophilicity of the substituents. The substituted compounds described herein are less selective for the κ opioid receptors than the unsubstituted isoquinoline 39. For example, the 5-hydroxy-substituted compound 59 shows high affinity for κ opioid receptors (K(i) κ = 0.09 nM) and a (K(i) μ/K(i) κ ratio of only 5. However, a multiple linear regression analysis demonstrates a lack of correlation between antinociceptive activity and affinity for the μ opioid receptor. On the other hand, the correlation between binding affinity to κ opioid receptor and antinociceptive activity was statistically significant.
