- Multifunctional small molecules as potential anti-alzheimer’s disease agents
-
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a severe multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of neurons in the brain. Despite research efforts, the pathogenesis and mechanism of AD progression are not yet completely understood. There are only a few symptomatic drugs approved for the treatment of AD. The multifactorial character of AD suggests that it is important to develop molecules able to target the numerous pathological mechanisms associated with the disease. Thus, in the context of the worldwide recognized interest of multifunctional ligand therapy, we report herein the synthesis, characterization, physicochemical and biological evaluation of a set of five (1a–e) new ferulic acid-based hybrid compounds, namely feroyl-benzyloxyamidic derivatives enclosing different substituent groups, as potential anti-Alzheimer’s disease agents. These hybrids can keep both the radical scavenging activity and metal chelation capacity of the naturally occurring ferulic acid scaffold, presenting also good/mild capacity for inhibition of self-Aβ aggregation and fairly good inhibition of Cu-induced Aβ aggregation. The predicted pharmacokinetic properties point towards good absorption, comparable to known oral drugs.

- Synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of (E)-1-(1H-indol-3-yl) ethanone O-benzyl oxime derivatives against MRSA and VRSA strains
-
Infections caused due to multidrug resistant organisms have emerged as a constant menace to human health. Even though numerous antibiotics are currently available for treating infectious diseases, a great number of bacterial strains have acquired resistance to many of them. Among these, infections caused due to Staphylococcus aureus are predominant in adult and paediatric population. Indole is a prominent chemical scaffold found in many pharmacologically active natural products and synthetic drugs. A number of oxime ether containing compounds have attracted attention of researchers owing to their interesting biological properties. Current work details the synthesis of indole containing oxime ether derivatives and their evaluation for antimicrobial activity against a panel of bacterial and mycobacterial strains. Synthesized compounds demonstrated good to moderate activity against drug-resistant S. aureus including resistant to vancomycin. Among all, compound 5h was found to possess potent activity against susceptible as well as MRSA and VRSA strains of S. aureus with MIC of 1 μg/mL and 2–4 μg/mL respectively. In addition, compound 5h was found to be non-toxic to Vero cells and exhibited good selectivity index of >40. Further, 5h, E-9a and E-9b possessed good biofilm inhibition against S. aureus. With these assuring biological properties, synthesized compounds could be potential prospective antimicrobial agents.

- Direct cycle between co-product and reactant: An approach to improve the atom economy and its application in the synthesis and protection of primary amines
-
Two important goals of green chemistry are to maximize the efficiency of reactants and to minimize the production of waste. In this study, a novel approach to improve the atom economy of a chemical process was developed by incorporating a direct cycle between a co-product and a reactant of the same reaction. To demonstrate this concept, recoverable 3,4-diphenylmaleic anhydride (1) was designed and used for the atom-economical synthesis of aliphatic primary amines from aqueous ammonia. In each individual cycle, only ammonia and alkyl halide were consumed, and 1 was recovered in nearly a quantitative yield. In this approach for developing atom-economical protecting agents, 1 showed good performance as a recoverable protecting agent for primary amines. The broad substrate scope, good tolerance to various reaction conditions, and high reaction and recovery rates make 1 a valuable complement to conventional primary amine protecting agents.

- O-alkylhydroxylamines as rationally-designed mechanism-based inhibitors of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1
-
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, chronic viral infections, and other diseases characterized by pathological immune suppression. Recently important advances have been made in understanding IDO1's catalytic mechanism. Although much remains to be discovered, there is strong evidence that the mechanism proceeds through a heme-iron bound alkylperoxy transition or intermediate state. Accordingly, we explored stable structural mimics of the alkylperoxy species and provide evidence that such structures do mimic the alkylperoxy transition or intermediate state. We discovered that O-benzylhydroxylamine, a commercially available compound, is a potent sub-micromolar inhibitor of IDO1. Structure-activity studies of over forty derivatives of O-benzylhydroxylamine led to further improvement in inhibitor potency, particularly with the addition of halogen atoms to the meta position of the aromatic ring. The most potent derivatives and the lead, O-benzylhydroxylamine, have high ligand efficiency values, which are considered an important criterion for successful drug development. Notably, two of the most potent compounds demonstrated nanomolar-level cell-based potency and limited toxicity. The combination of the simplicity of the structures of these compounds and their excellent cellular activity makes them quite attractive for biological exploration of IDO1 function and antitumor therapeutic applications.

- Synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular docking studies of 2,6-dinitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxysalicylaldoxime derivatives as novel antitubulin agents
-
A series of 2,6-dinitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxysalicylaldoxime derivatives (1h-20h) have been designed and synthesized, and their biological activities were also evaluated as potential antiproliferation and tubulin polymerization inhibitors. Among all the compounds, 2h showed the most potent activity in vitro, which inhibited the growth of MCF-7, Hep-G2 and A549 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.70 ± 0.05, 0.68 ± 0.02 and 0.86 ± 0.05 μM, respectively. Compound 2h also exhibited significant tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity (IC50 = 3.06 ± 0.05 μM). The result of flow cytometry (FCM) demonstrated that compound 2h induced cell apoptosis. Docking simulation was performed to insert compound 2h into the crystal structure of tubulin at colchicine binding site to determine the probable binding model. Based on the preliminary results, compound 2h with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth may be a potential anticancer agent.

- Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of Oximes Derived from O- Benzylhydroxylamine as FabH Inhibitors
-
Forty-three oxime derivatives were synthesized by allowing O-benzylhydroxylamines to react with primary benzaldehydes or salicylaldehydes; these products were gauged as potential inhibitors of β-ketoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthaseIII (FabH). Among the 43 compounds, 38 are reported herein for the first time. These compounds were assayed for antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis. Compounds with prominent antibacterial activities were tested for their E. coli FabH inhibitory activities. 3-((2,4 Dichlorobenzyloxyimino) methyl) benzaldehyde O-2,4-dichlorobenzyl oxime (44) showed the best antibacterial activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 3.13-6.25μgmL-1 against the tested bacterial strains, exhibiting the best E. coli FabH inhibitory activity, with an IC50 value of 1.7mM. Docking simulations were performed to position compound 44 into the E. coli FabH active site in order to determine the most probable binding conformation.

- Synthesis and fungicidal activity of macrolactams and macrolactones with an oxime ether side chain
-
Three series of novel macrolactams and macrolactones - 12-alkoxyimino- tetradecanlactam, 12-alkoxyiminopentadecanlactam, and 12-alkoxyiminodecanlactone derivatives (7A, 7B, and 7C) - were synthesized from corresponding 12-oxomacrolactams and 12-oxomacrolactone. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The Z and E isomers of 7A and 7B were separated, and their configurations were determined by 1H NMR. These compounds showed fair to excellent fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani Kuehn. It is interesting that the Z and E isomers of most of the compounds have quite different fungicidal activities. The fact that the compounds have a gradual increase of fungicidal activity in the order of 7A, 7C, and 7B indicated that the macrocyclic derivatives with a hydrogen-bonding acceptor (=N-O-) and a hydrogen-bonding donor (-CONH-) on the ring, and a three methylenes distance (CH2CH2CH2) between these two functional groups, exhibited the best fungicidal activity. The bioassay also showed that 7B not only has good fungicidal activity but also may have a broad spectrum of fungicidal activities.
