- Studies on crystal growth, vibrational, dielectric, electronic, mechanical and thermal properties of new organic nonlinear optical crystal: 3-nitrocinnamic acid
-
3-Nitrocinnamic acid (3NCA) was synthesized and its crystals were grown in aqueous solution by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The grown crystal was confirmed by powder XRD studies. The geometry, intermolecular hydrogen bonding, and harmonic vibrational wavenumbers of 3NCA were investigated with the help of B3LYP density functional theory (DFT) methods. The calculated molecular geometry has been compared with the experimental data obtained from XRD data. The assignments of the vibrational spectra have been carried out with the aid of normal coordinate analysis (NCA) following the scaled quantum mechanical force field methodology (SQMFF). Vibrational spectral investigation confirms the formation of cyclic dimers in the crystal, with the carboxyl groups of each acid molecule bonded to those of adjacent molecules. The red shift of the O-H stretching wavenumber is due to the formation of strong O-H...O hydrogen bonds by hyperconjugation between the carbonyl oxygen lone electron pairs and the O-H σ* antibonding orbitals. Thermal stability of the grown crystal was examined by recording TGA/DTA. Mechanical strength of the grown material was tested by hardness studies. Second harmonic frequency generation was examined by Kurtz and Perry powder test and it reveals that the relative conversion efficiency is 0.8 times greater than that of urea. The theoretical first order hyperpolarizability value was calculated for the optimized structure.

- Amine functionalized K10 montmorillonite: A solid acid-base catalyst for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction
-
Different amine functionalized K10 montmorillonites were hydrothermally fabricated by a simple method of treatment of the neat clay with different amine solutions and used as heterogeneous catalysts towards the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. Catalytic results show that the di-amine functionalized K10 montmorillonite exhibits high efficacy for promoting this reaction at room temperature and in the absence of a solvent. The solid catalyst was characterized using a variety of different techniques; including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nitrogen physisorption measurements, 29Si CP MAS NMR spectroscopy, NH3-temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The catalyst could be recycled and reused for several runs without any loss of inherent catalytic activity.

- Iron-catalyzed domino decarboxylation-oxidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids enabled aldehyde C-H methylation
-
A practical and general iron-catalyzed domino decarboxylation-oxidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids enabling aldehyde C-H methylation for the synthesis of methyl ketones has been developed. This mild, operationally simple method uses ambient air as the sole oxidant and tolerates sensitive functional groups for the late-stage functionalization of complex natural-product-derived and polyfunctionalized molecules.

- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of different scaffold derivatives against NS2B-NS3 protease of dengue virus
-
The number of deaths or critical health issues is a threat in the infection caused by Dengue virus, which complicates the situation, as only symptomatic treatment is the current solution. In this regard we have targeted the dengue protease NS2B-NS3 that is responsible for the replication. The series was designed with the help of molecular modeling approach using docking protocols. The series comprised of different scaffolds viz. cinnamic acid analogs (CA1–CA11), chalcone (C1–C10) and their molecular hybrids (Lik1–Lik10), analogs of benzimidazole (BZ1-BZ5), mercaptobenzimidazole (BS1-BS4), and phenylsulfanylmethylbenzimidazole (PS1-PS4). Virtual screening of various natural phytoconstituents was employed to determine the interactions of designed analogs with the residues of catalytic triad in the active site of NS2B-NS3. We have further synthesized the selected leads. The synthesized analogs were evaluated for the cytotoxicity and NS2B-NS3 protease inhibition activity and compared with known anti-dengue natural phytoconstituent quercetin as the standard. CA2, BZ1, and BS2 were found to be more potent and efficacious than the standard quercetin as evident from the protease inhibition assay.

- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel cinnamic acid-tryptamine hybrid for inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase
-
Background: Acetylcholine deficiencies in hippocampus and cortex, aggregation of β-amyloid, and β-secretase over activity have been introduced as main reasons in pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: Colorimetric Ellman’s method was used for determination of IC50 value in AChE and BChE inhibitory activity. The kinetic studies, neuroprotective and β-secretase inhibitory activities, evaluation of inhibitory potency on β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregations induced by AChE, and docking study were performed for prediction of the mechanism of action. Result and discussion: A new series of cinnamic acids-tryptamine hybrid was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as dual cholinesterase inhibitors. These compounds demonstrated in-vitro inhibitory activities against acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) and butyryl cholinesterase (BChE). Among of these synthesized compounds, (E)-N-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylamide (5q) demonstrated the most potent AChE inhibitory activity (IC50 = 11.51?μM) and (E)-N-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-3-(2-chlorophenyl)acrylamide (5b) were the best anti-BChE (IC50 = 1.95?μM) compounds. In addition, the molecular modeling and kinetic studies depicted 5q and 5b were mixed type inhibitor and bound with both the peripheral anionic site (PAS) and catalytic sites (CAS) of AChE and BChE. Moreover, compound 5q showed mild neuroprotective in PC12 cell line and weak β-secretase inhibitory activities. This compound also inhibited aggregation of β-amyloid (Aβ) in self-induced peptide aggregation test at concentration of 10?μM. Conclusion: It is worth noting that both the kinetic study and the molecular modeling of 5q and 5b depicted that these compounds simultaneously interacted with both the catalytic active site and the peripheral anionic site of AChE and BChE. These findings match with those resulted data from the enzyme inhibition assay. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- New coumarin/sulfocoumarin linked phenylacrylamides as selective transmembrane carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: Synthesis and in-vitro biological evaluation
-
Two novel series of phenylacrylamide linked coumarins and sulfocoumarins (6a-p, 8a-i, and 14a-g) were synthesized and evaluated against four physiologically relevant human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs, EC 4.2.1.1), isoforms hCA I, hCA II, hCA IX and hCA XII for their inhibitory action. All new compounds when screened for carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activity have shown selective inhibition towards the tumor associated isoforms hCA IX and XII over CA I and II, with inhibition constants in the submicromolar to low nanomolar range. Compound 6b and 14g exhibited significant inhibition with low nanomolar potency against hCA IX, whereas 6k was effective against hCA XII. Compounds 6b, 14g and 6k may be considered as lead molecules for future development of cancer therapeutics based on a novel mechanism of action.

- Substituted cinnamic anhydrides act as selective inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase
-
Cinnamic anhydrides have been shown to be more than reactive reagents, but they also act as inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterease (AChE). Thus, out of a set of 33 synthesised derivatives, several of them were mixed type inhibitors for AChE (from electric eel). Thus, (E)-3-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic anhydride (2c) showed Ki = 8.30 ± 0.94 μM and Ki′ = 9.54 ± 0.38 μM, and for (E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)acrylic anhydride (2u) Ki = 8.23 ± 0.93 μM and Ki′ = 13.07 ± 0.46 μM were measured. While being not cytotoxic to many human cell lines, these compounds showed an unprecedented and noteworthy inhibitory effect for AChE but not for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE).

- Structure-aided drug development of potential neuraminidase inhibitors against pandemic H1N1 exploring alternate binding mechanism
-
Abstract: The rate of mutability of pathogenic H1N1 influenza virus is a threat. The emergence of drug resistance to the current competitive inhibitors of neuraminidase, such as oseltamivir and zanamivir, attributes to a need for an alternative approach. The design and synthesis of new analogues with alternate approach are particularly important to identify the potential neuraminidase inhibitors which may not only have better anti-influenza activity but also can withstand challenge of resistance. Five series of scaffolds, namely aurones (1a–1e), pyrimidine analogues (2a–2b), cinnamic acid analogues (3a–3k), chalcones (4a–4h) and cinnamic acid linkages (5a–5c), were designed based on virtual screening against pandemic H1N1 virus. Molecular modelling studies revealed that the designed analogues occupied 430-loop cavity of neuraminidase. Docking of sialic acid in the active site preoccupied with the docked analogues, i.e. in 430-loop cavity, resulted in displacement of sialic acid from its native pose in the catalytic cavity. The favourable analogues were synthesized and evaluated for the cytotoxicity and cytopathic effect inhibition by pandemic H1N1 virus. All the designed analogues resulting in displacement of sialic acid suggested alternate binding mechanism. Overall results indicated that aurones can be measured best among all as potential neuraminidase inhibitor against pandemic H1N1 virus. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel uracil derivatives bearing 1, 2, 3-triazole moiety as thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitors and as potential antitumor drugs
-
Research on thymidylate synthase inhibitors has been a hot spot for anticancer drug development. Here, based on the structures and pharmacological properties of two types of TS inhibitors, through a molecular assembly principle of drugs design, we designed and synthesized a series of 30 novel uracil derivatives as TS inhibitors. The antiproliferative ability of these compounds was evaluated against four cancer cell lines (A549, OVCAR-3, SGC-7901, and HepG2) by the MTT assay. Most of them showed excellent activities against all the tested cell lines. Furthermore, hTS assay results showed that these compounds have the unique ability to inhibit hTS activity in vitro. Notably, compound 13j exhibited the most potent activity against A549 cells (IC50 = 1.18 μM) and extremely prominent enzyme inhibition (IC50 = 0.13 μM), which was superior to the pemetrexed (PTX, IC50 = 3.29 μM and IC50 = 2.04 μM). Flow cytometric analysis showed the compound 13j could inhibit A549 cells proliferation by arresting the cell cycle in the G1/S phase, then induced the cell apoptosis. Further western blot analysis showed that compound 13j could down-regulate the cycle checkpoint proteins cyclin D1 and cyclin E to inhibit the cell cycle progression, and then induce intrinsic apoptosis by activating caspase-3, and reducing the ratio of bcl-2/bax. All of these results demonstrated that this new structure has potential drug-making properties and provides new ideas for drug development.

- Synthesis, preliminarily biological evaluation and molecular docking study of new Olaparib analogues as multifunctional PARP-1 and cholinesterase inhibitors
-
A series of new Olaparib derivatives was designed and synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases-1 (PARP-1) enzyme and cancer cell line MDA-MB-436 in vitro were evaluated. The results showed that compound 5l exhibited the most potent inhibitory effects on PARP-1 enzyme (16.10 ± 1.25 nM) and MDA-MB-436 cancer cell (11.62 ± 2.15 μM), which was close to that of Olaparib. As a PARP-1 inhibitor had been reported to be viable to neuroprotection, in order to search for new multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the inhibitory activities of the synthesized compounds against the enzymes AChE (from electric eel) and BChE (from equine serum) were also tested. Compound 5l displayed moderate BChE inhibitory activity (9.16 ± 0.91 μM) which was stronger than neostigmine (12.01 ± 0.45 μM) and exhibited selectivity for BChE over AChE to some degree. Molecular docking studies indicated that 5l could bind simultaneously to the catalytic active of PARP-1, but it could not interact well with huBChE. For pursuit of PARP-1 and BChE dual-targeted inhibitors against AD, small and flexible non-polar groups introduced to the compound seemed to be conducive to improving its inhibitory potency on huBChE, while keeping phthalazine-1-one moiety unchanged which was mainly responsible for PARP-1 inhibitory activity. Our research gave a clue to search for new agents based on AChE and PARP-1 dual-inhibited activities to treat Alzheimer’s disease.

- Novel morpholine containing cinnamoyl amides as potent tyrosinase inhibitors
-
Tyrosinase enzyme plays a crucial role in melanin biosynthesis and enzymatic browning process of vegetables and fruits. Hence, tyrosinase inhibitors are important in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and agriculture. In this study, novel N-(2-morpholinoethyl)cinnamamide derivatives bearing different substituents on phenyl ring were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their tyrosinase diphenolase inhibitory activity. The compounds were found to be better tyrosinase inhibitors (IC50s were in micro molar range) than cinnamic acid. (E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-N-(2-morpholinoethyl)acrylamide (B6) exhibited the highest inhibition with IC50 value of 15.2 ± 0.6 μM which was comparable to that of kojic acid. The inhibition kinetic analysis of B6 indicated that the compound was a mixed-type tyrosinase inhibitor. In silico ADME prediction indicated that B6 might show more skin penetration than kojic acid. Molecular docking analysis confirmed that the active inhibitors well accommodated in the mushroom tyrosinase active site and it was also revealed that B6 formed the most stable drug-receptor complex with the target protein. Therefore, cinnamamide B6 could be introduced as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor that might be a promising lead in cosmetics, medicine and food industry.

- Kinetic Resolution of Aromatic β-Amino Acids Using a Combination of Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase and Aminomutase Biocatalysts
-
An enzymatic strategy for the preparation of (R)-β-arylalanines employing phenylalanine aminomutase and ammonia lyase (PAM and PAL) enzymes has been demonstrated. Candidate PAMs with the desired (S)-selectivity from Streptomyces maritimus (EncP) and Bacillus sp. (PabH) were identified via sequence analysis using a well-studied template sequence. The newly discovered PabH could be linked to the first ever proposed biosynthesis of pyloricidin-like secondary metabolites and was shown to display better β-lyase activity in many cases. In spite of this, a method combining the higher conversion of EncP with a strict α-lyase from Anabaena variabilis (AvPAL) was found to be more amenable, allowing kinetic resolution of five racemic substrates and a preparative-scale reaction with >98% (R) enantiomeric excess. This work represents an improved and enantiocomplementary method to existing biocatalytic strategies, allowing simple product separation and modular telescopic combination with a preceding chemical step using an achiral aldehyde as starting material.

A novel type of magnetically responsive polymer nanocomposite Fe3O4@poly(undecylenic acid-co-4-vinyl pyridine-co-sodium acrylate) (Fe3O4@PUVS) was synthesized by the free radical polymerization of 4-vinyl pyridine (4-VP) with sodium acrylate (SAA) and Fe3O4@undecylenic acid. Pd2+ was then immobilized on this magnetic nanocomposite to form the magnetic Fe3O4@PUVS-Pd catalyst. This catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions in water, and could be simply separated by using a permanent magnet. The supported catalyst could be used consecutively for six runs without significant loss of catalytic activity.

- Synthesis, cytotoxicity and molecular modelling studies of new phenylcinnamide derivatives as potent inhibitors of cholinesterases
-
The present study reports the synthesis of cinnamide derivatives and their biological activity as inhibitors of both cholinesterases and anticancer agents. Controlled inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) may slow neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's diseases (AD). The anticholinesterase activity of phenylcinnamide derivatives was determined against Electric Eel acetylcholinesterase (EeAChE) and horse serum butyrylcholinesterase (hBChE) and some of the compounds appeared as moderately potent inhibitors of EeAChE and hBChE. The compound 3-(2-(Benzyloxy)phenyl)-N- (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acrylamide (3i) showed maximum activity against EeAChE with an IC50 0.29 ± 0.21 μM whereas 3-(2-chloro-6- nitrophenyl)-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acrylamide (3k) was proved to be the most potent inhibitor of hBChE having IC50 1.18 ± 1.31 μM. To better understand the enzyme-inhibitor interaction of the most active compounds toward cholinesterases, molecular modelling studies were carried out on high-resolution crystallographic structures. The anticancer effects of synthesized compounds were also evaluated against cancer cell line (lung carcinoma). The compounds may be useful leads for the design of a new class of anticancer drugs for the treatment of cancer and cholinesterase inhibitors for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

-
A series of ninety-seven diarylpentanoid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity through NO suppression assay using interferone gamma (IFN-γ)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Twelve compounds (9, 25, 28, 43, 63, 64, 81, 83, 84, 86, 88 and 97) exhibited greater or similar NO inhibitory activity in comparison with curcumin (14.7 ± 0.2 μM), notably compounds 88 and 97, which demonstrated the most significant NO suppression activity with IC50 values of 4.9 ± 0.3 μM and 9.6 ± 0.5 μM, respectively. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study revealed that the presence of a hydroxyl group in both aromatic rings is critical for bioactivity of these molecules. With the exception of the polyphenolic derivatives, low electron density in ring-A and high electron density in ring-B are important for enhancing NO inhibition. Meanwhile, pharmacophore mapping showed that hydroxyl substituents at both meta- and para-positions of ring-B could be the marker for highly active diarylpentanoid derivatives.

- Substituent effects of cis-cinnamic acid analogues as plant growh inhibitors
-
1-O-cis-Cinnamoyl-β-d-glucopyranose is one of the most potent allelochemicals that has been isolated from Spiraea thunbergii Sieb by Hiradate et al. It derives its strong inhibitory activity from cis-cinnamic acid (cis-CA), which is crucial for phytotoxicity. By preparing and assaying a series of cis-CA analogues, it was previously found that the key features of cis-CA for lettuce root growth inhibition are a phenyl ring, cis-configuration of the alkene moiety, and carboxylic acid. On the basis of a structure-activity relationship study, the substituent effects on the aromatic ring of cis-CA were examined by systematic synthesis and the lettuce root growth inhibition assay of a series of cis-CA analogues having substituents on the aromatic ring. While ortho- and para-substituted analogues exhibited low potency in most cases, meta-substitution was not critical for potency, and analogues having a hydrophobic and sterically small substituent were more likely to be potent. Finally, several cis-CA analogues were found to be more potent root growth inhibitors than cis-CA.

- Sodium tetraborate/benzyltriethylammonium chloride-mediated synthesis of substituted cinnamic acids from aromatic aldehydes and aliphatic carboxylic acids
-
A simple, efficient, and cost-effective method has been developed for the synthesis of some cinnamic acid derivatives in moderate to high yields (63-86%) by a one-pot condensation reaction of benzaldehyde and aliphatic carboxylic acids in the presence of sodium tetraborate and benzyltriethylammonium chloride, and N-methyl-pyrrolidinone as solvent. The reaction requires high temperatures (reflux at 180-190°C) and strong basic conditions, which have been generated by pyridine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine added to the reaction medium.

- Conventional as well as microwave assisted synthesis and microbial effect of some new acrylamides
-
Knoevenagal condensation reaction has been used for the synthesis of α,β- unsaturated acids. The different aldehydes have been reacted with acetic acid in the presence of sodium borohydride to give the corresponding acrylic acids which have been reacted with furfural amine and 2-aminopyridine in the presence of catalytic amount of boric acid to synthesize corresponding acrylamides. All the synthesized acids and amide derivatives have been characterized by spectral data (IR and 1H NMR) and CHN analysis. All amide derivatives have also been prepared by microwave irradiation method by irradiating the mixture of corresponding acrylic acids and amines that gave higher yield and took less time. Amide derivatives have been screened for their microbial activity against bacteria viz. Bacillus sp. (BSY 101), Pseudomonas sp. (LK 791) and Ensifer sp. (IND 2), fungus Ascochyta blight and yeast (Sacchromyces cerevisiae). It have been found that the synthesized amide derivatives show poor inhibition against Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Ensifer sp. Maximum 9-10 mm inhibition zones have been observed for those amide derivatives having 2-chloro, 2-methoxy and 4-methoxy group substitution on phenyl ring and pyridine moiety. The decrease in growth of bacteria by some amide derivatives is due to substitution on phenyl ring by nitro, chloro and methoxy groups. The pyridine moiety containing compounds have been found to be more effective against bacteria than furfural moiety. All amide derivatives are ineffective growth inhibitors for fungus and yeast.

- β-alanine-DBU: A highly efficient catalytic system for knoevenagel-doebner reaction under mild conditions
-
A mild and efficient Knoevenagel-Doebner reaction from malonic acid and a wide range of aldehydes was catalyzed by a catalytic system consisting of β-alanine and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), affording the corresponding (E)-α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids in good to excellent yields and with high stereoselectivity. The advantage of the method is that the reaction could proceed smoothly at ambient temperature so that it can tolerate a variety of functional groups and avoid unnecessary side reactions. Copyright

- A PdCl2-ionic liquid brush assembly: An efficient and reusable catalyst for Mizoroki-Heck reaction in neat water
-
An efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalytic assembly of PdCl 2 held in ionic liquid brushes has been synthesized and an environmentally-friendly procedure was developed for coupling aryl iodides with acrylic acid. These reactions were conducted in water under aerobic conditions with water-insoluble or even solid aryl iodides and they proceeded smoothly and cleanly without any organic co-solvent or other additives. A 0.5 mol% (based on Pd atom) dose of the catalyst was found to be sufficient for Mizoroki-Heck reaction. The catalyst is easily recovered post reaction, via simple filtration, and reused at least eight times without a noticeable loss of activity. The protocol has the advantages of excellent yield, environmental friendliness, and catalyst recyclability. Copyright

- Synthesis and anticancer activity of 13-membered cyclic enediynes
-
We herein describe the synthesis of 15 novel 13-membered cyclic enediyne derivatives using simple and straightforward approach. Representative examples were screened for their anticancer activities on 60 different human tumor cell lines representing various histologies viz. leukemia, melanoma, and cancers of lung, colon, kidney, ovary, breast, prostate, and central nervous system. The enediyne derivatives with halogen substitutions, especially fluorides were found to be active against most of the cell lines. The initial results indicates marginal to good inhibition for the growth of tumor cells for several cell lines, which shows the potential of these class of compound towards anticancer application. 15 novel 13-membered cyclic enediyne derivatives using a simple and straightforward approach are synthesized. The initial results show the potential of this class of compounds towards anticancer application. Copyright

- Synthesis, molecular modeling, and biological evaluation of cinnamic acid metronidazole ester derivatives as novel anticancer agents
-
A series of novel cinnamic acid metronidazole ester derivatives have been designed and synthesized, and their biological activities were also evaluated as potential EGFR and HER-2 kinase inhibitors. Compound 3h showed the most potent biological activity (IC50 = 0.62 μM for EGFR and IC50 = 2.15 μM for HER-2). Docking simulation was performed to position compound 3h into the EGFR active site to determine the probable binding model. Antiproliferative assay results demonstrated that some of these compounds possessed good antiproliferative activity against MCF-7. Compound 3h with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth inhibition may be a potential anticancer agent.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of substituted cinnamic acids and amide analogues: A new class of herbicides
-
In the present investigation, substituted cinnamic acids (3-hydroxy, 4-hydroxy, 2-nitro, 3-nitro, 4-nitro, 3-chloro, and 4-methoxy) and their amide analogues with four different types of substituted anilines have been synthesized. The synthesized compounds have been screened for their germination inhibition activity on radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. Japanese White) seeds at 50, 100, and 200 ppm concentrations, and the activity was compared with standard herbicide, metribuzin formulation (sencor). Significant activity was exhibited by all of the compounds. It was observed that with the increase in concentration of the test solution, the activity also increased. All of the compounds showed more than 70% inhibition at 100 ppm concentration except 4-hydroxy cinnamanilide. The compound, 2-chloro (4′-hydroxy) cinnamanilide was the best among the tested compounds, and it was found to be at par with the standard, metribuzin at all concentrations. Thus, it can be concluded that substituted cinnamic acids and their amide analogues may be developed as potential herbicides.

- Characterization of the binding properties of SIRT2 inhibitors with a N-(3-phenylpropenoyl)-glycine tryptamide backbone
-
SIRT2 inhibitors with a N-(3-phenylpropenoyl)-glycine tryptamide backbone were studied. This backbone has been developed in our group, and it is derived from a compound originally found by virtual screening. In addition, compounds with a smaller 3-phenylpropenoic acid tryptamide backbone were also included in the study. Binding modes for the new compounds and the previously reported compounds were analyzed with molecular modelling methods. The approach, which included a combination of molecular dynamics, molecular docking and cluster analysis, showed that certain docking poses were favourable despite the conformational variation in the target protein. The N-(3-phenylpropenoyl)-glycine tryptamide backbone is also a good backbone for SIRT2 inhibitors, and the series of compounds includes several potent SIRT2 inhibitors.

- Cinnamoyl inhibitors of tissue transglutaminase
-
(Figure Presented) Transglutaminases (TGases) catalyze the intermolecular cross-linking of certain proteins and tissue TGases (TG2) are involved in diverse biological processes. Unregulated, high TGase activities have been implicated in several physiological disorders, but few reversible inhibitors of TG2 have been reported. Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of novel trans-cinammoyl derivatives, discovered to be potent inhibitors of guinea pig liver transglutaminase. The most effective inhibitors evaluated can be sorted into two subclasses: substituted cinnamoyl benzotriazolyl amides and the 3-(substituted cinnamoyl)pyridines, referred to more commonly as azachalcones. Kinetic evaluation of both of these subclasses revealed that they display reversible inhibition and are competitive with acyl donor TGase substrates at IC50 values as low as 18 μM. An analysis of structure - activity relationships within these series of inhibitors permitted the identification of potentially important binding interactions. Further testing of some of the most potent inhibitors demonstrated their selectivity for TG2 and their potential for further development.
