- Novel arylcarbamate-N-acylhydrazones derivatives as promising BuChE inhibitors: Design, synthesis, molecular modeling and biological evaluation
-
A novel series of arylcarbamate-N-acylhydrazones derivatives have been designed and synthesized as potential anti-cholinesterase agents. In vitro studies revealed that these compounds demonstrated selective for butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) with potent inhibitory activity. The compounds 10a-d, 12b and 12d were the most potent BuChE inhibitors with IC50 values of 0.07–2.07 μM, highlighting the compound 10c (IC50 = 0.07 μM) which showed inhibitory activity 50 times greater than the reference drug donepezil (IC50 = 3.54 μM). The activity data indicates that the position of the carbamate group in the aromatic ring has a greater influence on the inhibitory activity of the derivatives. The enzyme kinetics studies indicate that the compound 10c has a non-competitive inhibition against BuChE with Ki value of 0.097 mM. Molecular modeling studies corroborated the in vitro inhibitory mode of interaction and show that compound 10c is stabilized into hBuChE by strong hydrogen bond interaction with Tyr128, π-π stacking interaction with Trp82 and CH?O interactions with His438, Gly121 and Glu197. Based on these data, compound 10c was identified as low-cost promising candidate for a drug prototype for AD treatment.

- 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.

- New imidazo[2,1-: B] thiazole-based aryl hydrazones: Unravelling their synthesis and antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing potential
-
Herein, we have designed and synthesized new imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-based aryl hydrazones (9a-w) and evaluated their anti-proliferative potential against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, 9i and 9m elicited promising cytotoxicity against the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values of 1.65 and 1.12 μM, respectively. Cell cycle analysis revealed that 9i and 9m significantly arrest MDA-MB-231 cells in the G0/G1 phase. In addition, detailed biological studies such as annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide, DCFH-DA, JC-1 and DAPI staining assays revealed that 9i and 9m triggered apoptosis in MDA-MB-213 cells. Overall, the current work demonstrated the cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing potential of 9i and 9m in breast cancer cells and suggested that they could be explored as promising antiproliferative leads in the future.

- Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Evaluation of First-in-Class Multitarget N-Acylhydrazone Derivatives as Selective HDAC6/8 and PI3Kα Inhibitors
-
Targeting histone deacetylases (HDACs) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) is a very promising approach for cancer treatment. This manuscript describes the design, synthesis, in vitro pharmacological profile, and molecular modeling of a novel class of N-acylhydrazone (NAH) derivatives that act as HDAC6/8 and PI3Kα dual inhibitors. The surprising selectivity for PI3Kα may be related to differences in the conformation in the active site. Cellular studies showed that these compounds act in HDAC6 inhibition and the PI3/K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The compounds that are selective for inhibition of HDAC6/8 and inhibit PI3Kα show potential for the treatment of cancer.

- Targeting malaria and leishmaniasis: Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of novel pyrazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids. Part II
-
In continuance with earlier reported work, an extension has been carried out by the same research group. Mulling over the ongoing condition of resistance to existing antimalarial agents, we had reported synthesis and antimalarial activity of certain pyrazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid compounds. Bearing previous results in mind, our research group ideated to design and synthesize some more derivatives with varied substitutions of acetophenone and hydrazide. Following this, derivatives 5a–r were synthesized and tested for antimalarial efficacy by schizont maturation inhibition assay. Further, depending on the literature support and results of our previous series, certain potent compounds (5f, 5n and 5r) were subjected to Falcipain-2 inhibitory assay. Results obtained for these particular compounds further strengthened our hypothesis. Here, in this series, compound 5f having unsubstituted acetophenone part and a furan moiety linked to oxadiazole ring emerged as the most potent compound and results were found to be comparable to that of the most potent compound (indole bearing) of previous series. Additionally, depending on the available literature, compounds (5a–r) were tested for their antileishmanial potential. Compounds 5a, 5c and 5r demonstrated dose-dependent killing of the promastigotes. Their IC50 values were found to be 33.3 ± 1.68, 40.1 ± 1.0 and 19.0 ± 1.47 μg/mL respectively. These compounds (5a, 5c and 5r) also had effects on amastigote infectivity with IC50 of 44.2 ± 2.72, 66.8 ± 2.05 and 73.1 ± 1.69 μg/mL respectively. Further target validation was done using molecular docking studies. Acute oral toxicity studies for most active compounds were also performed.

Abstract: Herein we report the synthesis of new N-4-piperazinyl thiadiazole and oxadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives and their antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities. Although thiadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives compound showed broad spectrum antibacterial activity against all the tested strains either Gram-positive or Gram-negative organisms, the oxadiazole derivatives exhibited weaker antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities than thiadiazole derivatives against most of the tested strains compared with the reference ciprofloxacin. Moreover, the antimycobacterial screening revealed that compounds which containing thiadiazole scaffold potently inhibited Mycobacterium smegmatis at MIC of 1.56 and 3.13, respectively, and modestly inhibited the drug-resistant strains. DNA cleavage assay revealed that thiadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives inhibited supercoil relaxation, albeit to a lesser extent than ciprofloxacin, and it also increased the amount of nicked substrate produced.

- Veratric acid derivatives containing benzylidene-hydrazine moieties as promising tyrosinase inhibitors and free radical scavengers
-
Tyrosinase enzyme plays a crucial role in melanin biosynthesis and enzymatic browning process of vegetables and fruits. A series of veratric acid derivatives containing benzylidene-hydrazine moieties with different substitutions were synthesized and their inhibitory effect on mushroom tyrosinase and free radical scavenging activity were evaluated. The results indicated that N′-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-3,4-dimethoxybenzohydrazide (D5)and N′-(2,3-dihydroxybenzylidene)-3,4-dimethoxybenzohydrazide (D12)showed the highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 19.72 ± 1.84 and 20.63 ± 0.79 μM, respectively, that were comparable with the IC50 value of kojic acid (19.08 ± 1.21 μM). D12 was also a potent radical scavenger with EC50 value of 0.0097 ± 0.0011 mM. The free radical scavenging activity of D12 was comparable with the standard quercetin. The inhibition kinetic analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plots revealed that compound D5 was a competitive tyrosinase inhibitor. Molecular docking study was carried out for the derivatives demonstrating tyrosinase inhibitory activity. D5 and D12 possessed the most negative estimated free energies of binding in mushroom tyrosinase active site. Therefore, D5 and D12 could be introduced as potent tyrosinase inhibitors that might be promising leads in medicine, cosmetics and food industry.

- New 1,2,4-triazole-Chalcone hybrids induce Caspase-3 dependent apoptosis in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells
-
A series of novel 1, 2, 4-triazole/chalcone hybrids was prepared and identified with different spectroscopic techniques. The prepared compounds showed remarkable cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines. Compounds 24, 25, 27, 41 and 47 had shown the highest cytotoxicity among the tested compounds against human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells with IC50 ranging from 4.4 to 16.04 μM compared to cisplatin with IC50 of 15.3 μM. Flow cytometric analysis of the tested compounds showed an increase in the number of apoptotic cells in a dose-dependent manner. The further mechanistic study demonstrated that 1, 2, 4-triazole-chalcone hybrids induced apoptosis via increased level of proapoptotic protein Bax, release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and activation of caspase-3/8/9 proteins. However, general caspase inhibition by the pan-caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-fmk, significantly decreased the apoptosis induced by the tested hybrids, suggesting dependency of apoptosis on activation of the caspase-3 pathway.

- Synthesis, pharmacological evaluation and docking study of a new modulator of microtubule polymerization
-
Objectives: The main goal of this paper was to conduct the synthesis to determine cytotoxic activity and to carry out docking studies on new LASSBio-1586 isosteres. LASSBio-1586 is a new combretastatin A4 (CA4) analogue previously identified as a simple antitumor drug candidate, able to inhibit microtubule polymerization with broad in vitro and in vivo cytotoxic activity. Methods: The new isosteres (7b-7h, 8a and 9a) were evaluated against HL-60, OVCAR-8, HCT8 and LUCENA tumor cell lines, using cytotoxic test of MTT. The tubulin polymerization assay was performed using a tubulin polymerization assay kit from cytoskeletonR and by CEREP employing a single concentration of 10 μM. Binding mode at β-tubulin colchicine binding site was stablished by blind molecular docking studies. Results: LASSBio-1920 (7h) was identified as the most potent cytotoxic compound with IC50 values ranging from 0.75 nM to 11.5 nM, although it was inactive against MDR tumor cell line LUCENA (IC50 = 80 μM). This compound presented remarkable cytotoxic selective index in comparison with CA4 and LASSBio-1586. Its ability to modulate microtubule polymerization was confirmed and its mode of interaction with colchicine binding site in β-tubulin was demonstrated. Conclusion: Compound 7h is a new isostere of LASSBio-1586 that displayed potent cytotoxic activity and better cytotoxic selectivity index and has been shown to interact with DAMA-colchicine in its co-crystal with β-tubulin.

- 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, biological evaluation, and 3D-QSAR analysis of podophyllotoxin–dioxazole combination as tubulin targeting anticancer agents
-
The advancement of cancer-fighting drugs has never been a simple linear process. Those drug design professionals begin to find inspiration from the nature after failing to find the ideal products by creative drug design and high-throughput screening. To obtain new molecules for inhibiting tubulin, podophyllotoxin was adopted as the leading compound and 1,3,4-oxadiazole was brought in to the C-4 site of podophyllotoxin in this research. A series of seventeen podophyllotoxin-derived esters have been achieved and then evaluated their antitumor activities against four different cancer cell lines: A549, MCF-7, HepG2, and HeLa. Among all the compounds, compound 7c showed the best antiproliferating properties with IC50?=?2.54?±?0.82?μm against MCF-7 cancer cell line. It was obvious that the content of ROS grew significantly in MCF-7 in a way depending on the dosage. The time- and dose-dependent cell cycle assays revealed that compound 7c could apparently block cell cycle in the phase of G2/M along with the upregulation of cyclin A2 and CDK2 protein. According to further studies, confocal microscopy experiment has certified that compound 7c could restrain cancer from growing by blocking the polymerization of microtubule. Meanwhile, compound 7c could be ideally integrated with the colchicine site of tubulin. In future, it would be feasible to selectively design tubulin inhibitors with the help of 3D-QSAR. This means that it is hopeful to develop compound 7c as a potential agent against cancer due to its biological characteristics.

- Combretastatin linked 1,3,4-oxadiazole conjugates as a Potent Tubulin Polymerization inhibitors
-
A new class of combretastatin linked 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were designed, synthesized and screened for their cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines such as HeLa, DU-145, A549, MDA-MB-231 and B16. These compounds showed significant cytotoxicity with IC50 values in the range 0.118-54.32 μM. Conjugate 5m displayed potent antiproliferative activity against DU-145 cell line. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that these compounds arrested the cell cycle in G2/M phase. Moreover, the tubulin polymerization assay and immunofluorescence analysis indicate that 5m exhibits potent inhibitory effect on the tubulin assembly. Further, DNA fragmentation and Hoecst staining assays confirm that 5m induces apoptosis. Molecular docking studies and competitive binding assay indicated that 5m effectively bind at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin.

- Novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole/oxime hybrids: Synthesis, docking studies and investigation of anti-inflammatory, ulcerogenic liability and analgesic activities
-
A novel group of 1,3,4-oxadaiazoles, a group known for their anti-inflammatory activity, is hybridized with nitric oxide (NO) releasing group, oxime, for its gastro-protective action and potential synergistic effect. The synthesized hybrids were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant and ulcerogenic activities. Most of the tested compounds showed excellent anti-inflammatory activity with compound 8e being more active than indomethacin. They also showed moderate analgesic activity but no antioxidant one. The ability of the synthesized compounds to inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 is studied and the prepared compounds were able to inhibit both COXs non-selectively with IC50s of 0.75–70.50?μM. Docking studies revealed the mode of interaction of the tested compounds into the empty pocket of the isozymes. All of the synthesized compounds interact with COXs active site with energy scores comparable to that of ibuprofen. All compounds showed a safer profile on the stomach tissue integrity compared to conventional NSAIDs. The designed strategy was applied to ibuprofen to introduce ibuprofen/oxadiazole/NO hybrid. The synthesized ibuprofen hybrid is a promising alternative to ibuprofen having similar anti-inflammatory activity but with safer GIT profile.

A series of diethyl (3-((5-aryl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)propyl)phos-phonates (7a-t) has been synthesized in excellent yields by coupling diethyl (3-bromopropyl)phosphonate and 5-aryl-1H- 1,2,4-triazol-3-thiones employing an efficient, green and nonconventional heterogeneous SO3Hcarbon catalyst derived from glycerol. In addition, a facile and green approach for the esterification of carboxylic acids by utilizing glycerol-based solid acid catalyst has been reported. Structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and HRMS studies. These triazole derivatives were screened for their in vitro cytotoxicity using the standard MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2- yl)-2,5-diphenyltetra-zolium bromide) assay against a panel of five different human cancer cell lines (HeLa: Cervix, A549: Lung, A375: Skin, MDA-MB-231: Breast and T98G: Brain). The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized compounds were investigated against four bacterial strains: Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and three fungal strains: Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus fumigatus. Preliminary results indicate that the compound 7f displayed maximum anticancer activity and the compounds 7d, 7e, 7f, 7m and 7q exhibited moderate antibacterial activity. The compounds 7g, 7h, 7o and 7p showed good antifungal activity with high inhibition zone diameter compared to the standard drug.

-
Five member heterocycles are famous for their universal activities. Starting with suitably substituted hydrazides 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones (1-5) and 1,2,4-triazolethionamines (6-11) were synthesized which were later on converted into Mannich products (13-22) and traizolothiadiazines (23-28) respectively. Structures were established by FTIR, hydrogen, carbon NMR, and mass spectrometric analysis. Compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial studies. Compounds 13, 19 and 23 showed maximum inhibitions in opposition to the bacterial strains while compounds 7, 11, 13 and 27 showed utmost percentage inhibition aligned with the yeast cells.

- New nitric oxide donating 1,2,4-triazole/oxime hybrids: Synthesis, investigation of anti-inflammatory, ulceroginic liability and antiproliferative activities
-
A series of novel nitric oxide (NO) donating triazole/oxime hybrids was prepared and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity. Most of the tested compounds showed significant anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method compared to indomethacin. Calculation of the ulcer indices and histopathological investigation indicated that the prepared NO-donating oximes exhibited less ulcerogenicity compared to their intermediate ketones and indomethacin. The NO-donating oxime 6i revealed significant activity against renal cancer A498 cell lines with 50.52 cell growth inhibition.

- Inhibition of tobacco bacterial wilt with sulfone derivatives containing an 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety
-
A series of new sulfone compounds containing the 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were designed and synthesized. Their structures were identified by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analyses. Antibacterial bioassays indicated that most compounds exhibited promising in vitro antibacterial bioactivities against tobacco bacterial wilt at 200 μg/mL. The relationship between structure and antibacterial activity was also discussed. Among the title compounds, 5′c, 5′h, 5′i, and 5′j could inhibit mycelia growth of Ralstonia solanacearum in vitro by approximately 50% (EC50) at 39.8, 60.3, 47.9, and 32.1 μg/mL, respectively. Among them, compound 5′j was identified as the most promising candidate due to its stronger effect than that of Kocide 3000 [Cu(OH)2] within the same concentration range. Field trials demonstrated that the control effect of compound 5′j against tobacco bacterial wilt was better than that of the commercial bactericide Saisentong. For the first time, the present work demonstrated that sulfone derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole can be used to develop potential bactericides for plants.

-
A series of 4-methylsulfanyl benzylidene/3-hydroxy benzylidene hydrazides (1-20) was synthesized and tested for in vitro antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, C. albicans and A. niger. The results of antimicrobial studies indicated that 3-phenylacrylic acid-(3-hydroxybenzylidene) -hydrazide, 16, was the most effective as it showed both bactericidal and fungicidal properties and other compounds possessed bacteriostatic/fungistatic activity. The multi-target QSAR model demonstrated that the topological parameter, Balaban topological index (J) is effective in describing the antimicrobial activity of synthesized substituted hydrazides.

- Synthesis, urease and acetylcholine esterase inhibition activities of some 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides and their 2,5-disubstituted thiadiazoles
-
A new series of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 6a-i was synthesized by overnight stirring various 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides 5a-i in polyphosphoric acid followed by neutralization. The structures of newly synthesized compounds 5a-i and 6a-i were characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectrometric studies. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their urease and acetylcholine esterase inhibition activities. Thiosemicarbazides 5a-i are found to possess excellent potential for urease inhibition, more than the standard drug. Thiosemicarbazides 5a-i are more potent urease inhibitor than their cyclic analogues thiadiazoles 6a-i. Almost all of the compounds are excellent inhibitors of acetylcholine esterase. The inhibition of acetylcholine esterase of compounds 5a, 5c, 5d, 5g, 5i, 6e, 6f, 6g, and 6i is much more than that of standard drug.

- Design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of N-acylhydrazones and novel conformationally constrained compounds as selective and potent orally active phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors
-
Among a small series of tested N-acylhydrazones (NAHs), the compound 8a was selected as a selective submicromolar phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor associated with anti-TNF-α properties measured both in vitro and in vivo. The recognition pattern of compound 8a was elucidated through molecular modeling studies based on the knowledge of the 3D-structure of zardaverine, a PDE4 inhibitor resembling the structure of 8a, cocrystallized with the PDE4. Based on further conformational analysis dealing with N-methyl-NAHs, a quinazoline derivative (19) was designed as a conformationally constrained NAH analogue and showed similar in vitro pharmacological profile, compared with 8a. In addition 19 was found active when tested orally in LPS-evoked airway hyperreactivity and fully confirmed the working hypothesis supporting this work.

-
A series of new 2-chloropyridine derivatives possessing 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were synthesized. Antiproliferative assay results indicated that compounds 6o and 6u exhibited the most potent activity against gastric cancer cell SGC-7901, which was more potent than the positive control. Especially, compound 6o exhibited significant telomerase inhibitory activity (IC 50 = 2.3 ± 0.07 μM), which was comparable to the positive control ethidium bromide. Docking simulation was performed to position compound 6o into the active site of telomerase (3DU6) to determine the probable binding model.

- Fenbufen based 3-[5-(substituted aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-1-(biphenyl-4-yl)propan-1-ones as safer antiinflammatory and analgesic agents
-
The synthesis of a series of 3-[5-(substituted aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-1-(biphenyl-4-yl)propan-1-ones derived from 4-oxo-4-(biphenyl-4-yl)butanoic acid (fenbufen) is described. The structures of these compounds were supported by IR, 1H NMR, mass spectrometric data and elemental analysis. These compounds were tested for their antiinflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation actions. A few compounds were found to have very good antiinflammatory activity in carrageenan induced rat paw edema test, while a fair number of compounds showed significant analgesic activity in acetic acid induced writhing test. The newly synthesized compounds showed very low ulcerogenic action with reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content, which is one of the byproducts of lipid peroxidation. In vitro COX-1 and COX-2 isozyme inhibition studies were also performed on some of the selected compounds. Compound 4i and 4h were found to be more selective towards COX-2 as indicated by COX-2 selectivity index of 36.06 and 29.05 (COX-2 IC50 = 1.5 μM and 1.8 μM) respectively.

- Hansch analysis of substituted benzoic acid benzylidene/furan-2-yl-methylene hydrazides as antimicrobial agents
-
A series of substituted hydrazide derivatives have been synthesized and screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against five representative microorganisms. The results of antimicrobial study indicated that the presence of electron withdrawing groups on the benzoic acid moiety improved antimicrobial activity. Further, the presence of heterocyclic ring furan does not improve the antimicrobial activity of substituted hydrazides. To understand the relationship between physicochemical parameters and antimicrobial activity of substituted hydrazide derivatives, QSAR investigation was performed by the development of one-target and multi-target models. The multi-target model was found to be effective in describing the antimicrobial activity of substituted hydrazides in comparison to the one-target models. Further, it indicated the importance of the topological parameter, valence third order molecular connectivity index (3χv) and the electronic parameter, energy of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) in describing the antimicrobial activity of substituted hydrazides.
