- Structural revision of the Mcl-1 inhibitor MIM1: synthesis and biological studies on ovarian cancer cells with evaluation of designed analogues
-
In the area of cancer research, the development of new and potent inhibitors of anti-apoptotic proteins is a very active and promising topic. The small molecule MIM1 has been reported earlier as one of the first selective inhibitors of the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1. In the present paper, we first revised the structure of this molecule based on extensive physicochemical analyses. Then we designed and synthesized a focused library of analogues for the corrected structure of MIM1. Next, these molecules were subjected to a panel ofin cellulobiological studies, allowing the identification of dual Bcl-xL/Mcl-1 inhibitors, as well as selective Mcl-1 inhibitors. These results have been complemented by fluorescence polarization assays with the Mcl-1 protein. Preliminary structure-activity relationships were discussed and extensive molecular modelling studies allowed us to propose a rationale for the biological activity of this series of new inhibitors, in particular for the selectivity of inhibition of Mcl-1versusBcl-xL

- Carbazole-based semicarbazones and hydrazones as multifunctional anti-Alzheimer agents
-
With the aim to combat a multi-faceted neurodegenerative Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a series of carbazole-based semicarbazide and hydrazide derivatives were designed, synthesized and assessed for their cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitory, antioxidant and biometal chelating activity. Among them, (E)-2-((9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylene)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide (62) and (E)-2-((9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylene)-N-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide (63) emerged as the premier candidates with good ChE inhibitory activities (IC50 values of 1.37 μM and 1.18 μM for hAChE, IC50 values of 2.69 μM and 3.31 μM for EqBuChE, respectively). All the test compounds displayed excellent antioxidant activity (reduction percentage of DPPH values for compounds (62) and (63) were 85.67% and 84.49%, respectively at 100 μM concentration). Compounds (62) and (63) conferred specific copper ion chelating property in metal chelation study. Molecular docking studies of compounds (62) and (63) indicate strong interactions within the active sites of both the ChE enzymes. Besides that, these compounds also exhibited significant in silico drug-like pharmacokinetic properties. Thus, taken together, they can serve as a starting point in the designing of multifunctional ligands in pursuit of potential anti-AD agents that might further prevent the progression of ADs.
