- One-pot three-component synthesis of novel pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines as potent antileukemic agents
-
In the current study, we report on the development of novel series of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives (8a-u, 11a-n, and 14a,b) as potential anticancer agents. The prepared pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines have been screened for their antitumor activity in vitro at NCI-DTP. Thereafter, compound 8a was qualified by NCI for full panel five-dose assay to assess its GI50, TGI and LC50 values. Compound 8a showed broad-spectrum anti-proliferative activities over the whole NCI panel, with outstanding growth inhibition full panel GI50 (MG-MID) value equals 2.16 μM and subpanel GI50 (MG-MID) range: 1.92–2.86 μM. Furthermore, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 8a, 8e-h, 8o, 8u, 11a, 11e, 11h, 11l and 14a-b were assayed for their antiproliferative effect against a panel of leukemia cell lines (K562, MV4-11, CEM, RS4;11, ML-2 and KOPN-8) where they possessed moderate to excellent anti-leukemic activity. Moreover, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 8o, 8u, 14a and 14b were further explored for their effect on cell cycle on RS4;11 cells, in which they dose-dependently increased populations of cells in G2/M phases. Finally we analyzed the changes of selected proteins (HOXA9, MEIS1, PARP, BcL-2 and McL-1) related to cell death and viability in RS4;11 cells via Western blotting. Collectively, the obtained results suggested pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 8o, 8u, 14a and 14b as promising lead molecules for further optimization to develop more potent and efficient anticancer candidates.

- From Stoichiometric Reagents to Catalytic Partners: Selenonium Salts as Alkylating Agents for Nucleophilic Displacement Reactions in Water
-
The ability of chalcogenium salts to transfer an electrophilic moiety to a given nucleophile is well known. However, up to date, these reagents have been used in stoichiometric quantities, producing a substantial amount of waste as byproducts of the reaction. In this report, we disclose further investigation of selenonium salts as S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) surrogates for the alkylation of nucleophiles in aqueous solutions. Most importantly, we were able to convert the stoichiometric process to a catalytic system employing as little as 10 mol % of selenides to accelerate the reaction between benzyl bromide and other alkylating agents with sodium cyanide in water. Probe experiments including 77Se NMR and HRMS of the reaction mixture have unequivocally shown the presence of the selenonium salt in the reaction mixture. (Figure presented.).

- Mechanistic selectivity investigation and 2D-QSAR study of some new antiproliferative pyrazoles and pyrazolopyridines as potential CDK2 inhibitors
-
Novel series of diphenyl-1H-pyrazoles (4a-g) and pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines (5a-g and 7a-i) were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against breast cancer cell line (MCF7) and Hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2). The highest MCF7 growth inhibition activity was attained via compounds 4f and 7e (IC50 = 1.29 and 0.93 μM, respectively), while compounds 5b and 7f were the most active ones against HepG2 (IC50 = 1.57 and 1.33 μM, respectively) compared to doxorubicin (IC50 = 1.88 and 7.30 μM, respectively). Cell cycle analysis showed arrest at S and G2-M phases in MCF7 cells treated with 4f and 7e, and at G2-M and G1/S phases in HepG2 cells treated with 5b and 7f, respectively. Apoptotic effect of compounds 4f, 5b, 7e, and 7f was indicated via their pre-G1 early and late apoptotic effects and augmented levels of caspase-9/MCF7 and caspase-3/HepG2. A worthy safety profile was assessed for compounds 4f and 7e on MCF10A and compounds 5b and 7f on THLE2 treated normal cells. Furthermore, compounds 4f, 5b and 7f displayed a promising selective profile for CDK2 inhibition vs. CDK1, CDK4, and CDK7 isoforms as proved from their selectivity index. Docking in CDK2 ATP binding site, co-crystallized with R-Roscovitine, demonstrated analogous interactions and comparable binding energy with the native ligand. 2D QSAR sighted the possible structural features governing the CDK2 inhibition activity elicited by the studied pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines. These findings present compounds 4f, 5b, and 7f as selective CDK2 inhibitors with promising antiproliferative activity against MCF7 and HepG2 cancer cells.

New diphenyl-1H-pyrazoles were synthesized and screened for CDK2 inhibition where 8d, 9b, 9c, and 9e exhibited promising activity (IC50 = 51.21, 41.36, 29.31, and 40.54 nM respectively) compared to R-Roscovitine (IC50 = 43.25 nM). Furthermore, preliminary anti-proliferative activity screening of some selected compounds on 60 cancer cell lines was performed at the (NCI/USA). Compounds 8a-c displayed promising growth inhibitory activity (mean %GI; 73.74, 94.32 and 74.19, respectively). Additionally, they were further selected by the NCI for five-dose assay, exhibiting pronounced activity against almost the full panel (GI50 ranges; 0.181–5.19, 1.07–4.12 and 1.07–4.82 μM, respectively) and (Full panel GI50 (MG-MID); 2.838, 2.306 and 2.770 μM, respectively). Screening the synthesized compounds 8a-c for inhibition of CDK isoforms revealed that compound 8a exhibited nearly equal inhibition to all the tested CDK isoforms, while compound 8b inhibits CDK4/D1 preferentially than the other isoforms and compound 8c inhibits CDK1, CDK2 and CDK4 more than CDK7. Flow cytometry cell cycle assay of 8a-c on Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCL HOP-92) cell line revealed S phase arrest by 8a and G1/S phase arrest by 8b and 8c. Apoptotic induction in HOP-92 cell line was also observed upon treatment with compounds 8a-c. Docking to CDK2 ATP binding site revealed similar interactions as the co-crystallized ligand R-Roscovitine (PDB code; 3ddq). These findings present compounds 8a-c as promising anti-proliferative agents.

- Synthesis and in vitro antiproliferative activity of certain novel pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines with potential p38α MAPK-inhibitory activity
-
Novel series of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 9a–j and 14a–f were prepared via a one-pot three-component reaction. Compounds 9a–j were synthesized by the reaction of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)?1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine (4) with benzoyl acetonitriles 3a,b and aldehydes 5a–e, whereas the spiro derivatives 14a–f were synthesized by the reaction of pyrazole derivative 4 with 3a–c and indoline-2,3-diones 10a,b. Screening of the antiproliferative activity of 9a–j and 14a–f revealed that 14a and 14d were the most potent analogues against HepG2 and HeLa cells, with IC50 = 4.2 and 5.9 μM, respectively. Moreover, compounds 9c and 14a could promote cell cycle disturbance and apoptosis in HepG2 cells, as evidenced by DNA flow cytometry and Annexin V-FITC/PI assays. Cell cycle analysis of 9c and 14a indicated a reduction in HepG2 cells in the G1 phase, with arrest in the S phase and the G2/M phase, respectively. Also, 9c and 14a are good apoptotic inducers in the HepG2 cell line. Furthermore, compounds 9h and 14d stood out as the most efficient antiproliferative agents in the NCI 60-cell line panel screening, with mean GI % equal to 60.3% and 55.4%, respectively. Additionally, 9c, 9h, 14a, and 14d showed good inhibitory action against the cellular pathway regulator p38α kinase, with IC50 = 0.42, 0.41, 0.13, and 0.64 μM, respectively. A docking study was carried out on the p38α kinase active site, showing a binding mode comparable to that of reported p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors. These newly discovered pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines could be considered as potential candidates for the development of newly targeted anticancer agents.

- Discovery of 2,4-diaminopyrimidine derivatives targeting p21-activated kinase 4: Biological evaluation and docking studies
-
In this study, novel 2,4-diaminopyrimidine derivatives targeting p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) were discovered and evaluated for their biological activity against PAK4. Among the derivatives studied, promising compounds A2, B6, and B8 displayed the highest inhibitory activities against PAK4 (IC50 = 18.4, 5.9, and 20.4 nM, respectively). From the cellular assay, compound B6 exhibited the highest potency with an IC50 value of 2.533 μM against A549 cells. Some compounds were selected for computational ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination) properties and molecular docking studies against PAK4. The detailed structure–activity relationship based on the biochemical activities and molecular docking studies were explored. According to the docking studies, compound B6 had the lowest docking score (docking energy: ?7.593 kcal/mol). The molecular docking simulation indicated the binding mode between compound B6 and PAK4. All these results suggest compound B6 as a useful candidate for the development of a PAK4 inhibitor.

- Identification of diphenylalkylisoxazol-5-amine scaffold as novel activator of cardiac myosin
-
To identify novel potent cardiac myosin activator, a series of diphenylalkylisoxazol-5-amine compounds 4–7 have been synthesized and evaluated for cardiac myosin ATPase activation. Among the 37 compounds, 4a (CMA at 10 μM = 81.6%), 4w (CMA at 10 μM = 71.2%) and 6b (CMA at 10 μM = 67.4%) showed potent cardiac myosin activation at a single concentration of 10 μM. These results suggested that the introduction of the amino-isoxazole ring as a bioisostere for urea group is acceptable for the cardiac myosin activation. Additional structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies were conducted. Para substitution (-Cl, –OCH3, -SO2N(CH3)2) to the phenyl rings or replacement of a phenyl ring with a heterocycle (pyridine, piperidine and tetrahydropyran) appeared to attenuate cardiac myosin activation at 10 μM. Additional hydrogen bonding acceptor next to the amino group of the isoxazoles did not enhance the activity. The potent isoxazole compounds showed selectivity for cardiac myosin activation over skeletal and smooth muscle myosin, and therefore these potent and selective isoxazole compounds could be considered as a new series of cardiac myosin ATPase activators for the treatment of systolic heart failure.

- Antitumor properties of certain spirooxindoles towards hepatocellular carcinoma endowed with antioxidant activity

In the current medical era, spirooxindole motif stands out as a privileged heterospirocyclic scaffold that represents the core for a wide range of bioactive naturally isolated products (such as Strychnofoline and spirotryprostatins A and B) and synthetic compounds. Interestingly, no much attention has been paid to develop spirooxindole derivatives with dual antioxidant and anticancer activities. In this context, a series of spirooxindoles 6a-p was examined for their anticancer effect towards HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines. Spirooxindole 6a was found to be an efficient anti-proliferative agent towards both HepG2 and PC-3 cells (IC50 = 6.9 and 11.8 μM, respectively). Afterwards, spirooxindole 6a was assessed for its apoptosis induction potential in HepG2 cells, where its pro-apoptotic impact was approved via the significant elevation in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and the expression levels of caspase-3,.

- Cracking under internal pressure: Photodynamic behavior of vinyl azide crystals through N2release
-
When exposed to UV light, single crystals of the vinyl azides 3- azido-1-phenylpropenone (1a), 3-azido-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propenone (1b), and 3-azido-1-(4-chlorophenyl)propenone (1c) exhibit dramatic mechanical effects by cracking or bending with the release of N2. Mechanistic studies using laser flash photolysis, supported by quantum mechanical calculations, show that each of the vinyl azides degrades through a vinylnitrene intermediate. However, despite having very similar crystal packing motifs, the three compounds exhibit distinct photomechanical responses in bulk crystals. While the crystals of 1a delaminate and release gaseous N2 indiscriminately under paraffin oil, the crystals of 1b and 1c visibly expand, bend, and fracture, mainly along specific crystallographic faces, before releasing N2. The photochemical analysis suggests that the observed expansion is due to internal pressure exerted by the gaseous product in the crystal lattices of these materials. Lattice energy calculations, supported by nanoindentation experiments, show significant differences in the respective lattice energies. The calculations identify critical features in the crystal structures of 1b and 1c where elastic energy accumulates during gas release, which correspond to the direction of the observed cracks. This study highlights the hitherto untapped potential of photochemical gas release to elicit a photomechanical response and motility of photoreactive molecular crystals.

- One-pot three-component synthesis of novel spirooxindoles with potential cytotoxic activity against triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells
-
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options due to its heterogeneity and the lack of well-defined molecular targets. In our endeavour towards the development of novel anti-TNBC agents, herein we report a one-pot three-component synthesis of novel spirooxindoles 6a–p, and evaluation of their potential anti-proliferative activity towards TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells. Spirooxindoles 6a, 6e and 6i emerged as the most potent analogues with IC50 = 6.70, 6.40 and 6.70 μM, respectively. Compounds 6a and 6e induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells, as evidenced by the up-regulation of the Bax and down-regulation of the Bcl-2, besides boosting caspase-3 levels. Additionally, 6e displayed significant increase in the percent of annexin V-FITC positive apoptotic cells from 1.34 to 44%. Furthermore, spirooxindoles 6e and 6i displayed good inhibitory activity against EGFR (IC50 = 120 and 150 nM, respectively). Collectively, these data demonstrated that 6e might be a potential lead compound for the development of effective anti-TNBC agents.

- New trisubstituted cyanopyrazoles and cyanoscorpionates
-
New syntheses are reported to give pyrazoles with cyano substituents at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring and ethyl or isopropyl substituents at the 3-position, as well as pyrazoles with cyano substituents at the 4-position and alkyl/aryl/bromo substituents at both the 3- and 5-positions. Synthesis of scorpionates using tetradecane as a high-boiling solvent has been shown to be more efficient than the melt method and has led to new scorpionates using the newly synthesized pyrazoles. An unexpected complex is isolated in which the Ni(cyclam)2+moiety crystallizes with two cyanoscorpionates as counterions, without binding of the scorpionate ligands to the Ni atom.

- Catalytic Activation of 1-Cyano-3,3-dimethyl-3-(1H)-1,2-benziodoxole with B(C6F5)3 Enabling the Electrophilic Cyanation of Silyl Enol Ethers
-
The Lewis acidic activation of a hypervalent iodine reagent containing a transferable cyano group, 1-cyano-3,3-dimethyl-3-(1H)-1,2-benziodoxole (CDBX), with B(C6F5)3, to achieve the catalytic electrophilic cyanation of silyl enol ethers is presented. Mechanistic studies indicate that CDBX is activated through coordination of its cyano group to B(C6F5)3, thus enabling the electrophilic cyanation reaction to occur.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative α-Arylation of tert -Butyl Cyanoacetate with (Hetero)aryl Bromides
-
A three-component coupling protocol has been developed for the generation of 3-oxo-3-(hetero)arylpropanenitriles via a carbonylative palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of tert-butyl 2-cyanoacetates with (hetero)aryl bromides followed by an acid-mediated decarboxylation step. Through the combination of only a stoichiometric loading of carbon monoxide and mild basic reaction conditions such as MgCl2 and dicyclohexylmethylamine for the deprotonation step, an excellent functional group tolerance was ensured for the methodology. Through the use of 13C-labeled carbon monoxide generated from 13COgen, the corresponding 13C-isotopically labeled β-ketonitriles were obtained, and these products could subsequently be converted into cyanoalkynes and 3-cyanobenzofurans with site specific 13C-isotope labeling.

- Cooperative Indium(III)/Silver(I) System for Oxidative Coupling/Annulation of 1,3-Dicarbonyls and Styrenes: Construction of Five-Membered Heterocycles
-
A cooperative indium(III)/silver(I) system for the synthesis of various five-membered heterocycles, including dihydrofurans, pyrroles, spirolactones, and spiroiminolactones, through the sequential oxidative coupling/annulation reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with styrenes has been developed. Four different heterocyclic systems were successfully synthesized depending on the substitution pattern of the substrates using readily available starting materials. This system has the advantages of a broad substrate scope, moderate to good chemical yields, an operationally easy and simple procedure, and short reaction times. (Figure presented.) .

- Electrophilic Cyanation of Boron Enolates: Efficient Access to Various β-Ketonitrile Derivatives
-
The highly efficient electrophilic cyanation of boron enolates using readily available cyanating reagents, N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide (NCTS) and p-toluenesulfonyl cyanide (TsCN), is reported. Various β-ketonitriles were prepared by this new protocol, which has a remarkably broad substrate scope compared to existing methods. The present method also allowed efficient synthesis of β-ketonitriles containing a quaternary α-carbon center. In addition, a preliminary result with the use of a chiral boron enolate for the enantioselective cyanation reaction is described.

- One-Pot Synthesis of 2-Cyano-1,4-diketones: Applications to Synthesis of Cyanosubstituted Furans, Pyrroles, and Dihydropyridazines
-
A convenient synthetic route for the construction of functionalized 2-cyano-1,4-diketones has been established from the nucleophilic substitution of 2-bromoacetophenones with NaCN via the in situ-generated β-ketonitriles. This method was further applied to the synthesis of cyanosubstituted furans, pyrroles, or dihydropyridazines, which were obtained in good to excellent yields using Bi(OTf)3, NH4OAc, or N2H4. The key structures were confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis.

- Synthesis, biological evaluation and 3D-QSAR studies of novel 5-phenyl-1 H -pyrazol cinnamamide derivatives as novel antitubulin agents
-
A series of novel 5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol derivatives (5a-5x) containing cinnamamide moiety were synthesized and their biological activities as potential tubulin polymerization inhibitors were evaluated. Among them, compound 5j exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.02 μ1/4M for tubulin, which was superior to that of Colchicine (IC50 Combining double low line 1.34 μ1/4M). Docking simulation was performed to insert compound 5j into the crystal structure of tubulin at colchicine binding site to determine the probable binding model. 3D-QSAR model was also built to provide more pharmacophore understanding that could be used to design new agents with more potent tubulin inhibitory activity.

Starting from β-oxodithioesters and hydroxylamine, two completely different transformations afford either β-ketonitriles or isoxazoles with high chemoselectivity depending on the reaction conditions. The reaction of β-oxodithioesters with hydroxylamine in EtOH at room temperature in daylight gave β-ketonitriles in high yields. On the other hand, 3-methylthio-isoxazoles were efficiently obtained as the final products by heating the mixture of β-oxodithioesters and hydroxylamine in HOAc at 90 °C.
