- Novel cyanothiouracil and cyanothiocytosine derivatives as concentration-dependent selective inhibitors of U87MG glioblastomas: Adenosine receptor binding and potent PDE4 inhibition
-
Thiouracil and thiocytosine are important heterocyclic pharmacophores having pharmacological diversity. Antitumor and antiviral activity is commonly associated with thiouracil and thiocytosine derivatives, which are well known fragments for adenosine receptor affinity with many associated pharmacological properties. In this respect, 33 novel compounds have been synthesized in two groups: 24 thiouracil derivatives (4a-x) and 9 thiocytosine derivatives (5a-i). Antitumor activity of all the compounds was determined in the U87 MG glioblastoma cell line. Compound 5e showed an anti-proliferative IC50 of 1.56 μM, which is slightly higher activity than cisplatin (1.67 μM). The 11 most active compounds showed no signficant binding to adenosine A1, A2A or A2B receptors at 1 μM. Brain tumors express high amounts of phosphodiesterases. Compounds were tested for PDE4 inhibition, and 5e and 5f showed the best potency (5e: 3.42 μM; 5f: 0.97 μM). Remakably, those compounds were also the most active against U87MG. However, the compounds lacked a cytotoxic effect on the HEK293 healthy cell line, which encourages further investigation.

- Dependence on the Pyrimidine Biosynthetic Enzyme DHODH Is a Synthetic Lethal Vulnerability in Mutant KRAS-Driven Cancers
-
Activating KRAS mutations are major oncogenic drivers in multiple tumor types. Synthetic lethal screens have previously been used to identify targets critical for the survival of KRAS mutant cells, but their application to drug discovery has proven challenging, possibly due in part to a failure of monolayer cultures to model tumor biology. Here, we report the results of a high-throughput synthetic lethal screen for small molecules that selectively inhibit the growth of KRAS mutant cell lines in soft agar. Chemoproteomic profiling identifies the target of the most KRAS-selective chemical series as dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). DHODH inhibition is shown to perturb multiple metabolic pathways. In vivo preclinical studies demonstrate strong antitumor activity upon DHODH inhibition in a pancreatic tumor xenograft model. Koundinya et al. show that inhibitors of the pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase selectively inhibit the growth of KRAS mutant cell lines. Differential sensitivity of the mutant lines correlates with differential effects of the inhibitors on primary energy metabolism and glutamine levels, and the inhibitors synergize with some clinically used anticancer agents.

- Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Screening of 4″-methyl-2,2″-diaryl-4,2′:4′,5″-terthiazole Derivatives
-
A series of novel 4″-methyl-2,2″-diaryl-4,2′:4′,5″-terthiazole (8a-p) derivatives has been synthesized and screened for antibacterial activity against four pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas flurescence, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. Among them, compounds 8a and 8j exhibited excellent antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration range of 1.0 to 5.3?μg/mL and compounds 8m and 8p exhibited moderate to good antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration range of 16.9 to 29.7?μg/mL against all tested strains. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antifungal activity against Cocinida candida. Most of the compounds reported moderate antifungal activity. This study provides valuable directions to our ongoing endeavor of rationally designing more potent antimicrobial agent.

- Fused Heterocycles: Synthesis and Antitubercular Activity of Novel 6-Substituted-2-(4-methyl-2-substituted phenylthiazol-5-yl)H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of 6-substituted-2-(4-methyl-2-substituted phenylthiazol-5-yl)H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives 4a-4l is described. The antitubercular activity of the synthesized compounds was determined against Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155 strain. From the activity result, it was found that the phenyl or 4-fluorophenyl group at 2 position of thiazole nucleus and bromo substituent at 6 position of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine showed good antitubercular activity.

- General Photoinduced Sequential Electrocyclization/[1,9]-Sigmatropic Rearrangement/Ring-Opening Reaction of Diarylethenes
-
A novel and efficient photochemical transformation of diarylethenes comprising a five-membered heterocyclic ring and phenyl moiety is described. This reaction provides a simple method for the preparation of functionalized naphthalene derivatives via photorearrangement reaction of diarylethenes, and the process is characterized by high efficiency that was determined by NMR monitoring. Some mechanistic aspects of this process have been also explored. It was found that the reaction includes tandem transformation of three basic processes: the photocyclization of the hexatriene system, [1,9]-sigmatropic rearrangement, and heterocyclic ring opening. Diarylethenes with different heterocycle moieties (thiophene, benzo[b]thiophene, furan, indole, imidazole, thiazole, oxazole, pyrazole) have been involved into this process, and the target naphthalenes with good yields have been obtained. The opportunity for use in the transformation of diarylethenes with different heterocyclic residues permits synthesis of naphthalenes with desired functional groups. The general character and high efficiency of the reaction promise that the transformation can be an effective synthetic route for the annulation of benzene rings to various aromatic systems, including heterocycles.

3-[4′-Methyl-2′-(4″-substituted-phenyl) thiazol-5′-yl]-1,4-benzothiazine hydrobromides (3A) and 3-[1′-(4″-substituted-phenyl)-2′-mercapto-4′ -imidazol-5′-yl]-1,4-benzothiazine hydrobromides (3B) were synthesized. 5-Acyl-4-methylthiazoles (1A) and 5-acyl-2-mercapto-4-methylimidazoles (1B) were brominated using phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide as selective brominating agent to obtain the corresponding bromoacyl products 2A and 2B. These bromoacyl products when cyclocondensed by refluxing with 2-aminobenzenethiol in alcohol yielded the title compounds 3A and 3B. They were screened against microorganisms.
