- Synthesis, characterization and antiinflammatory activity of chalcone derivatives linked with apocynin and 5-nitrofuran moiety
-
The present paper describes the synthesis of some new chalcone derivatives i.e. 1-[3-methoxy-4-(5-nitro-furan-2-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-3-(substituted phenyl)-propenone derivatives (9A-9K) from furfural and apocynin as starting materials. Claisen-Schmidt reaction of 1-(4-((5-nitrofuran-2-yl)methoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (7) with aromatic aldehydes (8A-K) under solvent free conditions using solid NaOH as catalyst at room temperature resulted in the formation of chalcone derivatives (9A-9K) in 86-96 % yield. These compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, Mass and IR spectroscopy and were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity.

- 7-Piperazinylquinolones with methylene-bridged nitrofuran scaffold as new antibacterial agents
-
Quinolone class of antibacterial agents has considerable attention to find new useful antibacterial agents. Therefore, a series of N-substituted piperazinylquinolones bearing (5-nitrofuran-2-yl)methyl moiety were synthesized and evaluated against a variety of bacteria. The methylene-bridged nitrofuran functionality has been recently used in oxazolidinone class of antibacterial agents containing piperazinyl moiety by introducing ranbezolid as a 5-nitrofuran analog of eperzolid. The results of antibacterial evaluation revealed that the influence of (5-nitrofuran-2-yl) attachment to the 7-piperazinylquinolones against different bacterial species depends on the type of substituents at the N-1 and C-8 positions. Better results were obtained with ethyl at N-1 and CF at C-8 in the term of activity against Bacillus subtilis and E. coli. While, the optimum activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia was entailed by a molecule possessing cyclopropyl at N-1 and CH at C-8.

- Design, synthesis, biological screening and molecular docking studies of novel multifunctional 1,4-di (aryl/heteroaryl) substituted piperazine derivatives as potential antitubercular and antimicrobial agents
-
In this paper, two series of novel multifunctional 1, 4-di (aryl/heteroaryl) substituted piperazine derivatives (6a-d & 7a-d) were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their antitubercular, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. A step-wise reduction, bromination and substitution reactions on various aldehydes resulted in alcohols (2a–d), bromides (3a–d), and titled novel compounds (6a–d & 7a–d) in moderate to good yields (48–85%). The novel compounds were evaluated for their antitubercular and antimicrobial activities. Compound 7a exhibited promising antitubercular activity (MIC: 0.65 μg/mL) almost equal to the Rifampicin, while the rest of the compounds were moderately active against MTB H37Rv except 6b. Compounds 7a and 6b showed good activity against tested fungal pathogens. Compounds 7a and 7b were proven as the best bacterial agents. Molecular docking studies were in agreement with the in-vitro results. Docking analyses show that all the synthesized molecules bind to the target protein Mtb RNAP (PDB ID: 5UHC) fairly strongly. All the compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity effect using the MTT assay method against human cancer cell line MCF-7. The compounds demonstrated growth inhibitory effect on the cell line with significant IC50 values ranging between 8.20 and 34.45 μM. Most importantly, compound 7a displayed good binding affinity towards the tested protein with binding energy ?7.30 kcal/mol and a stronger hydrogen bond distance of 2.2 ? with ASN-493 residue. Thus, the present research highlighted the potential role of novel piperazine derivatives as potential antitubercular, and antimicrobial candidates and further good research into optimization might result in the development of new antitubercular drug candidates.

- 2-((3,5-Dinitrobenzyl)thio)quinazolinones: Potent Antimycobacterial Agents Activated by Deazaflavin (F420)-Dependent Nitroreductase (Ddn)
-
Swapping the substituents in positions 2 and 4 of the previously synthesized but yet undisclosed 5-cyano-4-(methylthio)-2-arylpyrimidin-6-ones 4, ring closure, and further optimization led to the identification of the potent antitubercular 2-thio-substituted quinazolinone 26. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies indicated a crucial role for both meta-nitro substituents for antitubercular activity, while the introduction of polar substituents on the quinazolinone core allowed reduction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding (63c, 63d). While most of the tested quinazolinones exhibited no cytotoxicity against MRC-5, the most potent compound 26 was found to be mutagenic via the Ames test. This analogue exhibited moderate inhibitory potency against Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidylate kinase, the target of the 3-cyanopyridones that lies at the basis of the current analogues, indicating that the whole-cell antimycobacterial activity of the present S-substituted thioquinazolinones is likely due to modulation of alternative or additional targets. Diminished antimycobacterial activity was observed against mutants affected in cofactor F420 biosynthesis (fbiC), cofactor reduction (fgd), or deazaflavin-dependent nitroreductase activity (rv3547), indicating that reductive activation of the 3,5-dinitrobenzyl analogues is key to antimycobacterial activity.
