- Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity of New Thiosemicarboxamide Derivatives
-
To discover new anticancer agents, two series of thiosemicarboxamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against human cancer cells in vitro. Most target compounds (especially 3f, 3g, and 3h) exhibit potent antiproliferative activity against HeLa cells. Importantly, compound 3h, bearing a 4-methylphenyl substituent at N position of thiourea moiety, has significant and broad-spectrum inhibitory activities against cancer cells (HepG2, HeLa, MDA-MB231, A875, and H460 cells) with low IC50 values (5.0 μM) and shows low toxicity to normal LO2 and MRC-5 cells. Further studies show that compound 3h exerts high inhibitory activity in cancer cells by inducing the G2/M-phase arrest of cancer cells. Collectively, this study presents compound 3h as a new entity for the development of cell cycle arrest inducers for the treatment of cancer.

- Synthesis and antitumor activity of novel pyridazinone derivatives containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety
-
A series of novel pyridazinone derivatives containing the 1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, spectroscopies HRMS and IR. Among them, the structure of compound 5c (2-(Tert-butyl)?4-chloro-5-((5-((2-ethylphenyl)amino)?1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)pyridazin-3(2H)-One) was unambiguously confirmed via single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The inhibitory activity of all the target compounds against MGC-803 and Bcap-37 was determined by MTT assay, with doxorubicin (the inhibition rates were 95.5 ± 0.4% and 95.7 ± 1.0% respectively) as a control. The preliminary results showed that the inhibitory activity of compound 5n (2-(Tert-butyl)?4-chloro-5-((5-((3-fluorophenyl)amino)?1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)pyridazin-3(2H)-One) was superior to the others. The inhibition rates of MGC-803 and Bcap-37 cells were 86.3 ± 2.2% and 92.3 ± 0.6% at a concentration of 10 μmol/L, respectively. The preliminary structure-activity relationship showed that when the 2-position of the benzene ring was substituted by a methyl group, such as compound 5j (2-(Tert-butyl)?4-chloro-5-((5-((2,3-dimethylphenyl)amino)?1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)pyridazin-3(2H)-One), it exhibited good anticancer activity on MGC-803 cells. Besides, introducing fluorine, chlorine, or trifluoromethyl group onto the benzene ring, such as compound 5 m (2-(Tert-butyl)?4-chloro-5-((5-((4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)amino)?1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)pyridazin-3(2H)-One), displayed good anticancer activity on MGC-803 and Bcap-37 cells.

- Functionalized Oxoindolin Hydrazine Carbothioamide Derivatives as Highly Potent Inhibitors of Nucleoside Triphosphate Diphosphohydrolases
-
Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) are ectoenzymes that play an important role in the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphate and diphosphate to nucleoside monophosphate. NTPDase1, -2, -3 and -8 are the membrane bound members of this enzyme family that are responsible for regulating the levels of nucleotides in extracellular environment. However, the pathophysiological functions of these enzymes are not fully understood due to lack of potent and selective NTPDase inhibitors. Herein, a series of oxoindolin hydrazine carbothioamide derivatives is synthesized and screened for NTPDase inhibitory activity. Four compounds were identified as selective inhibitors of h-NTPDase1 having IC50 values in lower micromolar range, these include compounds 8b (IC50 = 0.29 ± 0.02 μM), 8e (IC50 = 0.15 ± 0.009 μM), 8f (IC50 = 0.24 ± 0.01 μM) and 8l (IC50 = 0.30 ± 0.03 μM). Similarly, compound 8k (IC50 = 0.16 ± 0.01 μM) was found to be a selective h-NTPDase2 inhibitor. In case of h-NTPDase3, most potent inhibitors were compounds 8c (IC50 = 0.19 ± 0.02 μM) and 8m (IC50 = 0.38 ± 0.03 μM). Since NTPDase3 has been reported to be associated with the regulation of insulin secretion, we evaluated our synthesized NTPDase3 inhibitors for their ability to stimulate insulin secretion in isolated mice islets. Promising results were obtained showing that compound 8m potently stimulated insulin secretion without affecting the NTPDase3 gene expression. Molecular docking studies of the most potent compounds were also carried out to rationalize binding site interactions. Hence, these compounds are useful tools to study the role of NTPDase3 in insulin secretion.

- Synthesis of novel triazinoindole-based thiourea hybrid: A study on α-glucosidase inhibitors and their molecular docking
-
A new class of triazinoindole-bearing thiosemicarbazides (1-25) was synthesized and evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory potential. All synthesized analogs exhibited excellent inhibitory potential, with IC50 values ranging from 1.30 ± 0.01 to 35.80 ± 0.80 μM when compared to standard acarbose (an IC50 value of 38.60 ± 0.20 μM). Among the series, analogs 1 and 23 were found to be the most potent, with IC50 values of 1.30 ± 0.05 and 1.30 ± 0.01 μM, respectively. The structure- activity relationship (SAR) was mainly based upon bringing about different substituents on the phenyl rings. To confirm the binding interactions, a molecular docking study was performed.

- Structure-activity relationship of semicarbazone EGA furnishes photoaffinity inhibitors of anthrax toxin cellular entry
-
EGA, 1, prevents the entry of multiple viruses and bacterial toxins into mammalian cells by inhibiting vesicular trafficking. The cellular target of 1 is unknown, and a structure-activity relationship study was conducted in order to develop a strategy for target identification. A compound with midnanomolar potency was identified (2), and three photoaffinity labels were synthesized (3-5). For this series, the expected photochemistry of the phenyl azide moiety is a more important factor than the IC50 of the photoprobe in obtaining a successful photolabeling event. While 3 was the most effective reversible inhibitor of the series, it provided no protection to cells against anthrax lethal toxin (LT) following UV irradiation. Conversely, 5, which possessed weak bioactivity in the standard assay, conferred robust irreversible protection vs LT to cells upon UV photolysis.

- 5-Nitrofuran-2-yl derivatives: Synthesis and inhibitory activities against growing and dormant mycobacterium species
-
Eighteen 5-nitrofuran-2-yl derivatives were prepared by reacting 5-nitro-2-furfural with various (sub)phenyl/pyridyl thiosemicarbazide using microwave irradiation. The compounds were tested for their in vitro activity against tubercular and various non-tubercular mycobacterium species in log-phase and 6-week-starved cultures. Compound N-(3,5-dibromopyridin-2-yl)-2-((5-nitrofuran-2-yl)methylene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (4r) was found to be the most potent compound (MIC: 0.22 μM) and was 3 times more active than standard isoniazid (INH) and equally active as rifampicin (RIF) in log-phase culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. In starved M. tuberculosis H37Rv, 4r inhibited with MIC of 13.9 μM and was found to be 50 times more active than INH and slightly more active than RIF.
