- Anti-inflammatory activity of novel thiosemicarbazone compounds indole-based as COX inhibitors
-
Background: In this article, a series of 20 new thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing indole were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory potential. Methods: The compounds were obtained through a synthetic route of only two steps, with yields that varied between 33.6 and 90.4%, and characterized by spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. Results: An initial screening through the lymphoproliferation assay revealed that compounds LT76, LT81, and LT87 were able to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation, with CC50 of 0.56 ± 0.036, 0.9 ± 0.01 and 0.5 ± 0.07?μM, respectively, better results than indomethacin (CC50 > 12?μM). In addition, these compounds were able to suppress the in-vitro production of TNF-α and NO, in addition to stimulating the production of IL-4. Reinforcing in-vitro assays, the compounds were able to inhibit COX-2 similar to Celecoxib showing greater selectivity for this isoform (LT81 SI: 23.06 versus Celecoxib SI: 11.88). Animal studies showed that compounds LT76 (64.8% inhibition after 6?h), LT81 (89% inhibition after 6?h) and LT87 (100% inhibition after 4?h) were able to suppress edema in mice after inoculation carrageenan with greater potency than indomethacin, and immunohistochemistry revealed that the groups treated with LT76, LT81 and LT87 reduced the expression of COX-2, similar or better results when compared to indomethacin. Complementarily, in-silico studies have shown that these compounds have a good pharmacokinetic profile, for respecting the parameters of Lipinski and Veber, showing their good bioavailability. Conclusions: These results demonstrate the potency of thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing indole and confirm their importance as scaffolds of molecules with notorious anti-inflammatory activity.

-
In recent year, the development of new drugs as antibacterial agents is an important resolution to overcome drug-resistant pathogens. Imidazole derivatives were synthesized using the microwave irradiation method and were characterized using spectral analysis techniques such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance, mass, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. All the analogous were assessed for their in vitro antimicrobial activity and in silico; minimum inhibition concentration values of some conjugates were evaluated against extended spectrum beta-lactamases, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains from clinical samples. All the analogous were used as ligands in molecular docking and adsorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion against saDHPS. Furthermore, compounds were also examined for their in vitro antituberculosis and antimalarial activity.

- Oxadiazol-based mTOR inhibitors with potent antiproliferative activities: synthetic and computational modeling
-
Series of N-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-amines and 3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxamides derivatives were synthesized as novel chemotherapeutic agents. Synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activities against several cancer cell lines. Many analogues of 1,3,4-oxadiazole scaffold showed potent antiproliferative activities against breast cancer cell lines, with higher activities toward the metastatic breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). Active analogues were profiled using in-house pharmacophore database in search for molecular target. Active analogues (2j and 2k) were found to fit the pharmacophoric map of ATP-competitive inhibitors of mTOR. The mTOR inhibitory activities of the most active compounds were confirmed with IC50 values in nanomolar range. The N-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-amines linked to a basic head is a novel ATP-competitive inhibitors of mTOR with potential activities for treatment of different types of cancer.

- Diaryl-substituted thiosemicarbazone: A potent scaffold for the development of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 inhibitors
-
The superbug infection caused by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) has become an emerging public health threat. Inhibition of NDM-1 has proven challenging due to its shuttling between pathogenic bacteria. A potent scaffold, diaryl-substituted thiosemicarbazone, was constructed and assayed with metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs). The obtained twenty-six molecules specifically inhibited NDM-1 with IC50 0.038–34.7 μM range (except 1e, 2e, and 3d), and 1c is the most potent inhibitor (IC50 = 0.038 μM). The structure-activity relationship of synthetic thiosemicarbazones revealed that the diaryl-substitutes, specifically 2-pyridine and 2-hydroxylbenzene improved inhibitory activities of the inhibitors. The thiosemicarbazones exhibited synergistic antimycobacterial actions against E. coli-NDM-1, resulted a 2–512-fold reduction in MIC of meropenem, while 1c restored 16–256-, 16-, and 2-fold activity of the antibiotic on clinical isolates ECs, K. pneumonia and P. aeruginosa harboring NDM-1, respectively. Also, mice experiments showed that 1c had a synergistic antibacterial ability with meropenem, reduced the bacterial load clinical isolate EC08 in the spleen and liver. This work provided a highly promising scaffold for the development of NDM-1 inhibitors.

- Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity of New Thiosemicarboxamide Derivatives
-
To discover new anticancer agents, two series of thiosemicarboxamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against human cancer cells in vitro. Most target compounds (especially 3f, 3g, and 3h) exhibit potent antiproliferative activity against HeLa cells. Importantly, compound 3h, bearing a 4-methylphenyl substituent at N position of thiourea moiety, has significant and broad-spectrum inhibitory activities against cancer cells (HepG2, HeLa, MDA-MB231, A875, and H460 cells) with low IC50 values (5.0 μM) and shows low toxicity to normal LO2 and MRC-5 cells. Further studies show that compound 3h exerts high inhibitory activity in cancer cells by inducing the G2/M-phase arrest of cancer cells. Collectively, this study presents compound 3h as a new entity for the development of cell cycle arrest inducers for the treatment of cancer.

- Synthesis of novel quinoline-thiosemicarbazide hybrids and evaluation of their biological activities, molecular docking, molecular dynamics, pharmacophore model studies, and ADME-Tox properties
-
In the present study, a novel series of N-((substituted)carbamothioyl)-2,4-dimethylquinoline-3-carboxamide (7a-7s) was synthesized by microwave-assisted method. Structure of these derivatives was examined by spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and ESI-MS. Further, the novel synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro biological activities against antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and antituberculosis activity as well as for in-silico study. The antimalarial results demonstrated that compounds 7c and 7q (0.02 μg/mL) have notable potency against Plasmodium falciparum compared with chloroquine (0.02 μg/mL); compounds 7l (0.10 μg/mL), 7e, 7s (0.19 μg/mL), 7b, 7p (0.15 μg/mL), 7a, 7f, and 7f (0.25 μg/mL) also exhibited good activity against P. falciparum compared with quinine (0.26 μg/mL) as standard drug. Docking was performed on PFDHFR-TS, given the effect of compounds against the P. falciparum strain was excellent in comparison with standard drug. Molecular docking suggested that compounds 7b, 7i and 7c, 7e, and 7l closely bind with the active site of protein 3JSU and 4DP3, respectively, and compared with biological activity. We have also carried out molecular dynamics simulation on the best dock compound 7e complex with PDB: 3JSU to check the stability of docked complex and their molecular interaction. The calculated ADME-Tox descriptors for the synthesized compounds validated good pharmacokinetics properties, suggesting that these compounds could be used as hit for the development of the new active agents.

- Functionalized Oxoindolin Hydrazine Carbothioamide Derivatives as Highly Potent Inhibitors of Nucleoside Triphosphate Diphosphohydrolases
-
Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) are ectoenzymes that play an important role in the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphate and diphosphate to nucleoside monophosphate. NTPDase1, -2, -3 and -8 are the membrane bound members of this enzyme family that are responsible for regulating the levels of nucleotides in extracellular environment. However, the pathophysiological functions of these enzymes are not fully understood due to lack of potent and selective NTPDase inhibitors. Herein, a series of oxoindolin hydrazine carbothioamide derivatives is synthesized and screened for NTPDase inhibitory activity. Four compounds were identified as selective inhibitors of h-NTPDase1 having IC50 values in lower micromolar range, these include compounds 8b (IC50 = 0.29 ± 0.02 μM), 8e (IC50 = 0.15 ± 0.009 μM), 8f (IC50 = 0.24 ± 0.01 μM) and 8l (IC50 = 0.30 ± 0.03 μM). Similarly, compound 8k (IC50 = 0.16 ± 0.01 μM) was found to be a selective h-NTPDase2 inhibitor. In case of h-NTPDase3, most potent inhibitors were compounds 8c (IC50 = 0.19 ± 0.02 μM) and 8m (IC50 = 0.38 ± 0.03 μM). Since NTPDase3 has been reported to be associated with the regulation of insulin secretion, we evaluated our synthesized NTPDase3 inhibitors for their ability to stimulate insulin secretion in isolated mice islets. Promising results were obtained showing that compound 8m potently stimulated insulin secretion without affecting the NTPDase3 gene expression. Molecular docking studies of the most potent compounds were also carried out to rationalize binding site interactions. Hence, these compounds are useful tools to study the role of NTPDase3 in insulin secretion.

- Synthesis, characterization and antitumor activities of some novel thiazinones and thiosemicarbazones derivatives
-
Two series of thiazinone and thiosemicarbazone derivatives (1-12) were synthesized using 2,4-diaryl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones (ABNs) and 3–alkyl–2,6–diarylpiperidin–4–ones as the starting materials. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of FT–IR, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. From the spectroscopic data, we identified that the cyclization reaction of thioamide with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate selectively gives six membered methyl 2-(2-(2,4-disubstituted-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-oxo-4H-1,3-thiazine-6-carboxylates (1-6). In order to investigate the antitumor activities of the synthesized compounds, in?vitro cytotoxicity studies were carried out using human prostate cancer cell lines. Tested compounds showed good/moderate activities against cancer cell lines and further investigation carried out by live/dead assay.

- Novel 4-quinoline-thiosemicarbazone derivatives: Synthesis, antiproliferative activity, in vitro and in silico biomacromolecule interaction studies and topoisomerase inhibition
-
Twelve 2-(quinolin-4-ylmethylene) hydrazinecarbothioamide derivatives were synthetized and their biological properties were investigated, among which, the ability to interact with DNA and BSA through UV–Vis absorption, fluorescence, Circular Dichroism, molecular docking and relative viscosity, antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 and T-47D mammary tumor cells and RAW-264.7 macrophages and inhibitory capacity of the enzyme topoisomerase IIα. In the binding study with DNA and BSA, all the compounds displayed affinity for interaction with both biomolecules, especially JF-92 (p-ethyl-substituted), with binding constant of 1.62 × 106 and 1.43 × 105, respectively, and DNA binding mode by intercalation. The IC50 values were obtained between 0.81 and 1.48 μM and topoisomerase inhibition results in 10 μM. Thus, we conclude that the reduction of the acridine to quinoline ring did not disrupt the antitumor action and that substitution patterns are important for biomolecule interaction affinity as they demonstrate the potential of these compounds for anticancer therapy.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel oxadiazole- and thiazole-based histamine H3R ligands
-
Histamine H3 receptor (H3R) is largely expressed in the CNS and modulation of the H3R function can affect histamine synthesis and liberation, and modulate the release of many other neurotransmitters. Targeting H3R with antagonists/inverse agonists may have therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative disorders, gastrointestinal and inflammatory diseases. This prompted us to design and synthesize azole-based H3R ligands, i.e. having oxadiazole- or thiazole-based core structures. While ligands of oxadiazole scaffold were almost inactive, thiazole-based ligands were very potent and several exhibited binding affinities in a nanomolar concentration range. Ligands combining 4-cyanophenyl moiety as arbitrary region, para-xylene or piperidine carbamoyl linkers, and/or pyrrolidine or piperidine basic heads were found to be the most active within this series of thiazole-based H3R ligands. The most active ligands were in silico screened for ADMET properties and drug-likeness. They fulfilled Lipinski's and Veber's rules and exhibited potential activities for oral administration, blood–brain barrier penetration, low hepatotoxicity, combined with an overall good toxicity profile.

- Design, synthesis and anticancer activity of dihydropyrimidinone-semicarbazone hybrids as potential human DNA ligase 1 inhibitors
-
A series of new dihydropyrimidinone-semicarbazone hybrids were successfully synthesised by integrating regioselective multicomponent reaction with the pharmacophore hybridization approach. All the synthesised compounds were evaluated for their hLig1 inhibition potency and most of them were found to be good to moderately active. Out of the tested derivatives, compound 6f showed selective anti-proliferative activity against HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 10.07 ± 1.2. It also reduced cell survival at ≤20 μM concentration. Further, analysis of treated HepG2 cell lysates by western blot assay showed increased γ-H2AX levels and upregulation of p53, leading to apoptosis. In silico docking results explain the binding modes of compound 6f to the DNA-binding domain of hLig1 enzyme thereby preventing its nick sealing activity. In addition, the favourable pharmacokinetic properties suggest that this new class of hLig1 inhibitors could be promising leads for further drug development.

- Synthesis of thiophene-thiosemicarbazone derivatives and evaluation of their in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities
-
A series of thiophene-2-thiosemicarbazones derivatives (5-14) was synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their antitumor activity. They were tested in vitro against human tumor cell lines through the colorimetric method. The results revealed that compounds 7 and 9 were the most effective in inhibiting 50% of the cell growth after 48 h of treatment. As compound 7 showed a potent antiproliferative profile, it has been chosen for further studies in 786-0 cell line by flow cytometry. Treatments with compound 7 (50 μM) induced early phosphatidylserine exposure after 18 h of exposure and this process progressed phosphatidylserine exposure with loss of cell membrane integrity after 24 h of treatment, suggesting a time-dependent cell death process. Regarding the cell cycle profile, no changes were observed after treatment with compound 7 (25 μM), suggesting a mechanism of cell death independent on the cell cycle. The in vivo studies show that compound 7 possess low acute toxicity, being the doses of 30-300 mgKg-1 chosen for studies in Ehrlich solid tumor model in mice. All doses were able to inhibit tumor development being the lowest one the most effective. Our findings highlight thiophene-2-thiosemicarbazones as a promising class of compounds for further studies concerning new anticancer therapies.

- Thiosemicarbazide, a fragment with promising indolamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibition properties

With the aim to explore the interest of the thiosemicarbazide scaffold for the inhibition of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), a promising therapeutic target for anticancer immunotherapy, a series of 32 phenylthiosemicarbazide derivatives was prepared and their IDO inhibition evaluated. Our study demonstrated that among these derivatives, compound 14 characterized with a 4-cyanophenyl group on the thiosemicarbazide was the more potent IDO inhibitor in this series being endowed with an IC50 of 1.2 μM. The SAR depicted showed that substitution in the 3- and 4-position relative to the phenylthiosemicarbazide are very promising whereas substitution in the 2-position always leads to less potent or inactive derivatives. In fact the study highlighted a novel interesting scaffold for IDO inhibition for further development.

- Synthesis of new hyodeoxycholic acid thiosemicarbazone derivatives under solvent-free conditions using microwave
-
An efficient and simple method for synthesis of new hyodeoxycholic acid thiosemicarbazone derivatives under solvent-free conditions using microwave has been developed. Its main advantages are short reaction times, good conversions and the environmentally friendly nature of the process. The preliminary results indicate that some of these compounds possess inhibitory effects against E. coli.

- A series of α-heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazones inhibit topoisomerase IIα catalytic activity
-
A series of novel thiosemicarbazone derivatives bearing condensed heterocyclic carboxaldehyde moieties were designed and synthesized. Among them, TSC24 exhibited broad antiproliferative activity in a panel of human tumor cells and suppressed tumor growth in mice. The mechanism research revealed that TSC24 was not only an iron chelator but also a topoisomerase IIα catalytic inhibitor. Its inhibition on topoisomerase IIα was due to direct interaction with the ATPase domain of topoisomerase IIα which led to the block of ATP hydrolysis. Molecular docking predicted that TSC24 might bind at the ATP binding site, which was confirmed by the competitive inhibition assay. These results about the mechanisms involved in the anticancer activities of thiosemicarbazones will aid in the rational design of novel topoisomerase II-targeted drugs and will provide insights into the discovery and development of novel cancer therapeutics based on the dual activity to chelate iron and to inhibit the catalytic activity of topoisomerase IIα.

- Discovery of novel GSK-3β inhibitors with potent in vitro and in Vivo activities and excellent brain permeability using combined ligand- and structure-based virtual screening
-
Dysregulation of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3β) is implicated in the pathophysiology of many diseases, including type-2 diabetes, stroke, Alzheimers, and others. A multistage virtual screening strategy designed so as to overcome known caveats arising from the considerable flexibility of GSK-3β yielded, from among compounds in our in-house database and two commercial databases, new GSK-3β inhibitors with novel scaffold structures. The two most potent and selective validated hits, a 2-anilino-5-phenyl-1,3,4- oxadiazole (24) and a phenylmethylene hydantoin (28), both exhibited nanomolar affinity and selectivity over CDK2 and were potent enough for direct in vivo validation. Both were able to cause significant increases in liver glycogen accumulation in dose-dependent fashion. One also exhibited excellent blood-brain barrier permeability, the other adequate for a lead compound. Analogues of the oxadiazole 24 were synthesized to experimentally corroborate or rule out ligand-bound structures arising from docking studies. SAR results supported one docking study among a number of alternatives.

- 5-Nitrofuran-2-yl derivatives: Synthesis and inhibitory activities against growing and dormant mycobacterium species
-
Eighteen 5-nitrofuran-2-yl derivatives were prepared by reacting 5-nitro-2-furfural with various (sub)phenyl/pyridyl thiosemicarbazide using microwave irradiation. The compounds were tested for their in vitro activity against tubercular and various non-tubercular mycobacterium species in log-phase and 6-week-starved cultures. Compound N-(3,5-dibromopyridin-2-yl)-2-((5-nitrofuran-2-yl)methylene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (4r) was found to be the most potent compound (MIC: 0.22 μM) and was 3 times more active than standard isoniazid (INH) and equally active as rifampicin (RIF) in log-phase culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. In starved M. tuberculosis H37Rv, 4r inhibited with MIC of 13.9 μM and was found to be 50 times more active than INH and slightly more active than RIF.

New series of 5-fluoro-1H-indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazones 2a-k and 5-fluoro-1-morpholino/piperidinomethyl-1H-indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazones 3a-r were synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral data, elemental and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The new 5-fluoro-1H-indole-2,3-dione derivatives, along with previously reported 5-nitro-1H-indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazones 2l-v, 1-morpholino/piperidinomethyl-5-nitro-1H-indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazones 4a-l, and 5-nitro-1H-indole-2,3-dione-3-[(4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin-2-ylidene)hydrazones] 5a-s, were evaluated for in vitro antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Among the tested compounds, 5-nitro-1H-indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazones (2p, 2r, and 2s) and its 1-morpholinomethyl derivatives (4a, 4e, 4g, and 4i) exhibited significant inhibitory activity in the primary screen. The antituberculosis activity of molecules with diverse skeletons was investigated by means of the Electronic-Topological Method (ETM). Ten pharmacophores and ten anti-pharmacophores that have been found by this form the basis of the system capable of predicting the structures of potentially active compounds. The forecasting ability of the system has been tested on structures that differ from those synthesized. The probability of correct identification for active compounds was found as equal to 93% in average. To obtain the algorithmic base for the activity prediction, Artificial Neural Networks were used after the ETM (the so-called combined ETM-ANN method). As the result, only 9 pharmacophores and anti-pharmacophores were chosen as the most important ones for the activity. By this, ANNs classified correctly 94.4%, or 67 compounds from 71.

In search of potential anticancer drug candidates in ruthenium complexes, a series of mononuclear ruthenium complexes of the type [Ru(phen) 2(nmit)]Cl2 (Ru1), [Ru(bpy)2(nmit)]Cl 2 (Ru2), [Ru(phen)2(icpl)]Cl2 (Ru3), Ru(bpy)2(icpl)]Cl2 (Ru4) (phen51,10-phenanthroline; bpy=2,2′-bipyridine; nmit=N-methyl-isatin-3-thiosemicarbazone, icpl=isatin-3-(4-Cl-phenyl)thiosemicarbazone) and [Ru(phen)2(aze)] Cl2 (Ru5), [Ru(bpy)2(aze)]Cl2 (Ru6) (aze=acetazolamide) and [Ru(phen)2(R-tsc)](ClO4) 2 (R=methyl (Ru7), ethyl (Ru8), cyclohexyl (Ru9), 4-Cl-phenyl (10), 4-Br-phenyl (Ru11), and 4-EtO-phenyl (Ru12), tsc=thiosemicarbazone) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H-NMR and FAB-MS. Effect of these complexes on the growth of a transplantable murine tumor cell line (Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma) and their antibacterial activity were studied. In cancer study the effect of hematological profile of the tumor hosts have also been studied. In the cancer study, the complexes Ru1-Ru4, Ru10 and Ru11 have remarkably decreased the tumor volume and viable ascitic cell count as indicated by trypan blue dye exclusion test (p0.05). Treatment with the ruthenium complexes prolonged the lifespan of Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) bearing mice. Tumor inhibition by the ruthenium chelates was followed by improvements in hemoglobin, RBC and WBC values. All the complexes showed antibacterial activity, except Ru5 and Ru6. Thus, the results suggest that these ruthenium complexes have significant antitumor property and antibacterial activity. The results also reflect that the drug does not adversely affect the hematological profiles as compared to that of cisplatin on the host.

- Synthesis and anticonvulsant and neurotoxicity evaluation of N 4-phthalimido phenyl (thio) semicarbazides
-
The phenyl (thio) semicarbazide derivatives of phthalimido pharmacophore were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant and neurotoxic properties. Initial anticonvulsant screening was performed using intraperitoneal (i.p.), maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) and subcutaneous strychnine (sc STY)-induced seizure threshold tests in mice. Compound 2c afforded protection in all the three screens. Compounds except 1d, 2a and 2d showed no neurotoxicity up to 300mg/kg. Compounds 1a, 1b, 2c, 2d, 2g and 2i were found to show oral MES activity. The compounds exhibited CNS depression and behavioral despair side effects, lesser than the conventional antiepileptic drugs.
