- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 3,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles: High affinity and selective somatostatin receptor-4 agonists for Alzheimer's disease treatment
-
Somatostatin receptor-4 (SST4) is highly expressed in brain regions affiliated with learning and memory. SST4 agonist treatment may act to mitigate Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. An integrated approach to SST4 agonist lead optimization is presented herein. High affinity and selective agonists with biological efficacy were identified through iterative cycles of a structure-based design strategy encompassing computational methods, chemistry, and preclinical pharmacology. 1,2,4-Triazole derivatives of our previously reported hit (4) showed enhanced SST4 binding affinity, activity, and selectivity. Thirty-five compounds showed low nanomolar range SST4 binding affinity, 12 having a Ki 500-fold affinity for SST4 as compared to SST2A. SST4 activities were consistent with the respective SST4 binding affinities (EC50 600-fold selectivity over SST2A) display a favorable physiochemical profile, and was advanced to learning and memory behavior evaluations in the senescence accelerated mouse-prone 8 model of AD-related cognitive decline. Chronic administration enhanced learning with i.p. dosing (1 mg kg-1) compared to vehicle. Chronic administration enhanced memory with both i.p. (0.01, 0.1, 1 mg kg-1) and oral (0.01, 10 mg kg-1) dosing compared to vehicle. This study identified a novel series of SST4 agonists with high affinity, selectivity, and biological activity that may be useful in the treatment of AD. This journal is

- Expedient discovery for novel antifungal leads: 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives bearing a quinazolin-4(3H)-one fragment
-
Developing novel fungicide candidates are intensively promoted by the rapid emergences of resistant fungi that outbreak on agricultural production. Aiming to discovery novel antifungal leads, a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives bearing a quinazolin-4(3H)-one fragment were constructed for evaluating their inhibition effects against phytopathogenic fungi in vitro and in vivo. Systematically structural optimizations generated the bioactive molecule I32 that was identified as a promising inhibitor against Rhizoctonia solani with the in vivo preventative effect of 58.63% at 200 μg/mL. The observations that were captured by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that the bioactive molecule I32 could induce the sprawling growth of hyphae, the local shrinkage and rupture on hyphal surfaces, the extreme swelling of vacuoles, the striking distortions on cell walls, and the reduction of mitochondria numbers. The above results provided an indispensable complement for the discovery of antifungal lead bearing a quinazolin-4(3H)-one and 1,3,4-oxadiazole fragment.

- Exploration of diphenylalkyloxadiazoles as novel cardiac myosin activator
-
To explore novel cardiac myosin activator, a series of diphenylalkyl substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles have been prepared and tested for cardiac myosin ATPase activation in vitro. In all cases, three carbon spacer between the oxadiazole core and one of the phenyl ring was considered crucial. In case of 1,3,4-oxadiazole, zero to two carbon spacer between oxadiazole core and other phenyl ring are favorable. Phenyl ring can be replaced by cyclohexyl moiety. In case of 1,2,4-oxadiazole, zero or one carbon spacer between the oxadiazole and other phenyl ring are favorable. Introduction of hydrogen bonding donor (NH) group at the 2nd position of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole enhances the activity. Substitutions on either of the phenyl rings or change of phenyl ring to other heterocycle are not tolerated for both the oxadiazoles. The prepared oxadiazoles showed selective activation for cardiac muscle over smooth and skeleton muscles.

- Design, synthesis, insecticidal activity and 3D-QSR study for novel trifluoromethyl pyridine derivatives containing an 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety
-
A series of trifluoromethyl pyridine derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety was designed, synthesized and bio-assayed for their insecticidal activity. The result of bio-assays indicated the synthesized compounds exhibited good insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata and Plutella xylostella, most of the title compounds show 100% insecticidal activity at 500 mg L-1 and >80% activity at 250 mg L-1 against the two pests. Compounds E18 and E27 showed LC50 values of 38.5 and 30.8 mg L-1 against Mythimna separata, respectively, which were close to that of avermectin (29.6 mg L-1); compounds E5, E6, E9, E10, E15, E25, E26, and E27 showed 100% activity at 250 mg L-1, which were better than chlorpyrifos (87%). CoMFA and CoMSIA models with good predictability were proposed, which revealed the electron-withdrawing groups with an appropriate bulk at 2- and 4-positions of benzene ring could enhance insecticidal activity.

- Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New (-)-Gossypol-Derived Schiff Bases and Hydrazones
-
A series of 14 new (-)-gossypol Schiff bases and hydrazones have been synthesized via an in situ procedure in high yields. Structural data showed that all target compounds exist as the enamine tautomer. Bioassays showed that several compounds exhibited cytotoxic effects against three human cancer cell lines. Compound 8a showed the greatest cytotoxic effect against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), lung carcinoma (LU-1), and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines with IC50 values of 20.93, 13.58, and 9.40 μM, respectively. However, in an antibacterial test, compounds 8a and 8b inhibited Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus and compound 8e inhibited only Staphylococcus aureus at the same MIC values of 1024 μg/ml.

- Synthesis and Biological Activity of Anthranilic Diamide Derivatives Incorporating 1,3,4-oxadiazole or Nitrogen-containing Saturated Heterocyclic Moieties
-
A series of novel anthranilic diamide derivatives incorporating 1,3,4-oxadiazole or nitrogen-containing saturated heterocyclic moieties were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for bacteriostatic activity against three phytopathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (Xoo), Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Citri (Xac), Ralstonia solanacearum (R. solanacearum). The preliminary biological results indicated that most compounds exhibit bacteriostatic activity against three phytopathogenic bacteria. Among these compounds, compounds 6g, 6f, and 6i displayed better antibacterial activity. In the test with concentration of 200 μg/mL, antibacterial activity of compound 6i and 6j was 96%. In particular, the bacteriostatic activity displayed by compound 6h against Xoo is similar to the one displayed by commercial drug bismerthiazol.

- A novel serine racemase inhibitor suppresses neuronal over-activation in vivo
-
Serine racemase (SRR) is an enzyme that produces D-serine from L-serine. D-Serine acts as an endogenous coagonist of NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs), which regulate many physiological functions. Over-activation of NMDARs induces excitotoxicity, which is observed in many neurodegenerative disorders and epilepsy states. In our previous works on the generation of SRR gene knockout (Srr-KO) mice and its protective effects against NMDA- and Aβ peptide-induced neurodegeneration, we hypothesized that the regulation of NMDARs’ over-activation by inhibition of SRR activity is one such therapeutic strategy to combat these disease states. In the previous study, we performed in silico screening to identify four compounds with inhibitory activities against recombinant SRR. Here, we synthesized 21 derivatives of candidate 1, one of four hit compounds, and performed screening by in vitro evaluations. The derivative 13J showed a significantly lower IC50 value in vitro, and suppressed neuronal over-activation in vivo.

- Facile synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of novel substituted azole derivatives
-
In this study, we synthesized the series of novel azole derivatives and evaluated for enzyme inhibition assays, corresponding kinetic analysis and molecular modeling. Among the investigated bioassays, the oxadiazole derivatives 4a-k were found potent α-glucosidase inhibitors while the Schiff base derivatives 7a-k exhibited considerable potential toward urease inhibition. The inhibition kinetics for the most active compounds were analyzed by the Lineweaver–Burk plots to investigate the possible binding modes of the synthesized compounds toward the tested proteins. Moreover, the detailed docking studies were performed on the synthesized library of 4a-k and 7a-k to study the molecular interaction and binding mode in the active site of the modeled yeast α-glucosidase and Jack Bean Urease, respectively. It could be inferred from docking results that theoretical studies are in close agreement to that of the experimental results. The structure of one of the compound 7k was characterized by the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis in order to find out the predominant conformation of the molecules.

- 2,3,4-Trihydroxybenzyl-hydrazide analogues as novel potent coxsackievirus B3 3C protease inhibitors
-
Human coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) 3C protease plays an essential role in the viral replication of CVB3, which is a non-enveloped and positive single-stranded RNA virus belonging to Picornaviridae family, causing acute viral myocarditis mainly in children. During optimization based on SAR studies of benserazide (3), which was reported as a novel anti-CVB3 3Cpro agent from a screening of compound libraries, the 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzyl moiety of 3 was identified as a key pharmacophore for inhibitory activity against CVB3 3Cpro. Further optimization was performed by the introduction of various aryl-alkyl substituted hydrazide moieties instead of the serine moiety of 3. Among the optimized compounds, 11Q, a 4-hydroxyphenylpentanehydrazide derivative, showed the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50 Combining double low line 0.07 μM). Enzyme kinetics studies indicated that 11Q exhibited a mixed inhibitory mechanism of action. The antiviral activity against CVB3 was confirmed using the further derived analogue (14b) with more cell permeable valeryl ester group at the 2,3,4-trihydroxy moiety.

- Synthesis, crystal structure, anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperglycemic activities of novel 3,4-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one derivatives
-
A new series of 3,4-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one 5a-r, bearing various methoxyphenyl, fluorophenyl, tolyl and phenyl groups, was synthesized by the dehydrocyclization of hydrazinecarboxamides 4a-r by refluxing in a 2 N sodium hydroxide solution. Hydrazinecarboxamides 4a-r was synthesized via the condensation of the corresponding aralkanoic acid hydrazides, 3a-g, with fluoro-, tolyl- and methoxyphenylisocyanates. The newly synthesized compounds (5ar) were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analyses. The structure of one compound 5a was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All of the synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic (α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition) activity to identify new drugs that might be useful in preventing damage related to diabetes and inflammation. Compounds 5j, 5k and 5m decrease the expression of type II collagen in a dose dependent manner; similarly 5l decrease the COX-2 expression of rabbit articular chondrocytes in a dose dependent manner possessing potent anti-inflammatory potential while some of derivatives including 5c, 5e, 5g and 5h cause inflammation. Meanwhile, excellent α-glucosidase and moderate α-amylase inhibitory profiles against carbohydrate modulating enzymes were demonstrated by compounds 5b, 5f, 5k and 5q compared to the reference standard acarbose, and compounds 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5l and 5o exhibited moderate to low enzyme inhibition potential among the series.

- Synthesis and biological activities of some new 3,6-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives
-
A series of aromatic hydrazides 3a-j were prepared by refluxing esters 2a-j with hydrazine hydrate in methanol, which were prepared by the esterification of 1a-j. Acetohydrazides 3a-j upon treatment with carbon disulfide and methanolic potassium hydroxide yielded potassium dithiocarbazate salts 4a-j, which on refluxing with hydrazine hydrate yielded substituted 4-amino-5-aryl-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones 5a-j. The target compounds 6a-j were synthesized by condensing furan-3-carboxylic acid in the presence of polyphosphoric acid under reflux. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectrometric studies. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their urease, acetylcholine esterase inhibition, antioxidant and alkaline phosphatase inhibition activity. Almost all of the compounds 6a-j showed good to excellent activities against urease and acetylcholine esterase more than the reference drugs. Compounds 6f and 6g were more potent scavenger of free radicals than the reference n-propyl gallate. Compound 6b and 6h showed excellent activities of alkaline phosphatase as compare to the reference KH 2PO4.
