- Dithiocarbamates combined with copper for revitalizing meropenem efficacy against NDM-1-producing Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae
-
The worldwide prevalence of NDM-1-producing Gram-negative pathogens has drastically undermined the clinical efficacy of carbapenems, prompting a need to devise an effective strategy to preserve their clinical value. Here we constructed a focused compound library of dithiocarbamates and systematically evaluated their potential synergistic antibacterial activities combined with copper. SA09-Cu exhibited excellent inhibition against a series of clinical NDM-1-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in restoring meropenem effect, and slowed down the development of carbapenem resistance. Enzymatic kinetic and isothermal titration calorimetry studies demonstrated that SA09-Cu was a noncompetitive NDM-1 inhibitor. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed a novel inhibition mechanism, which is that SA09-Cu could convert NDM-1 into an inactive state by oxidizing the Zn(II)-thiolate site of the enzyme. Importantly, SA09-Cu showed a unique redox tuning ability, and avoided to be reduced by intracellular thiols of bacteria. In vivo experiments indicated that SA09 combined with CuGlu could effectively potentiate MER's effect against NDM-1-producing E. coli (EC23) in the murine infection model. This study provides a highly promising scaffold in developing novel inhibitors to combat NDM-1-producing CREs.

- Interfacial Engineering of CuCo2S4/g-C3N4Hybrid Nanorods for Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction
-
Altering the morphology of electrochemically active nanostructured materials could fundamentally influence their subsequent catalytic as well as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Enhanced OER activity for mixed-metal spinel-type sulfide (CuCo2S4) nanorods is generally done by blending the material that has high conductive supports together with those having a high surface volume ratio, for example, graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4). Here, we report a noble-metal-free CuCo2S4 nanorod-based electrocatalyst appropriate for basic OER and neutral media, through a simple one-step thermal decomposition approach from its molecular precursors pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate-copper(II), Cu[PDTC]2, and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate-cobalt(II), Co[PDTC]2 complexes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images as well as X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns suggest that as-synthesized CuCo2S4 nanorods are highly crystalline in nature and are connected on the g-C3N4 support. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy studies affirm the successful formation of bonds that bridge (Co-N/S-C) at the interface of CuCo2S4 nanorods and g-C3N4. The kinetics of the reaction are expedited, as these bridging bonds function as an electron transport chain, empowering OER electrocatalytically under a low overpotential (242 mV) of a current density at 10 mA cm-2 under basic conditions, resulting in very high durability. Moreover, CuCo2S4/g-C3N4 composite nanorods exhibit a high catalytic activity of OER under a neutral medium at an overpotential of 406 mV and a current density of 10 mA cm-2.

- Novel imidazole derivatives as antifungal agents: Synthesis, biological evaluation, ADME prediction and molecular docking studies
-
A series of 2-(substituteddithiocarbamoyl)-N-[4-((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl]acetamide derivatives was designed and synthesized to combat the increasing incidence of drug-resistant fungal infections. All synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS spectra and elemental analyses. Antifungal activity tests were performed against four different fungal strains. Molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the mode of action towards the fungal lanosterol 14α-demethylase, a cytochrome P450-dependent enzyme. ADME studies were carried out and a connection between activities and physicochemical properties of the target compounds was determined. Most of the final compounds exhibited significant activity against Candida albicans and Candida krusei with MIC50 value 12.5 μg/mL. The results of in vitro anti-Candida activity, a docking study and ADME prediction revealed that the newly synthesized compounds have potential anti-Candida activity and evidenced the most active derivative, 5b (2-Pyrrolidinthiocarbonylthio-N-[4-((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl]acetamide), which can be further optimized as a lead compound.

- Dithiocarbamates: Efficient metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors with good antibacterial activity when combined with meropenem
-
The activity of β-lactam antibiotics is compromised by metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). Herein, a series of dithiocarbamate derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their antibacterial activities were tested in combination with meropenem (MEM) against several MBL (NDM and IMP type)-producing clinical isolates. Clinical isolates harboring NDM-1 and IMP-4 became susceptible to MEM when it was combined with dithiocarbamate compounds 4a, 4b or 4f synthesized in this work. Compounds 4a and 4b increased the effectiveness of MEM by up to 2560 times against strains. In vitro bactericidal dynamics tests showed that bacteria died within 24 h when they were treated with compound 4f + MEM. Compounds 4a, 4b and 4f were non-hemolytic and exhibited low toxicity toward HeLa cells in vitro. These data show that compounds containing dithiocarbamate functional group may be helpful in the development of MBL inhibitors.

- Substituted carbamothioic amine-1-carbothioic thioanhydrides as novel trichomonicidal fungicides: Design, synthesis, and biology
-
Sexually transmitted diseases like trichomoniasis along with opportunistic fungal infections like candidiasis are major global health burden in female reproductive health. In this context a novel non-nitroimidazole class of substituted carbamothioic amine-1-carbothioic thioanhydride series was designed, synthesized, evaluated for trichomonacidal and fungicidal activities, and was found to be more active than the standard drug Metronidazole (MTZ). Compounds were trichomonicidal in the MIC ranges of 4.77–294.1 μM and 32.46–735.20 μM against MTZ-susceptible and -resistant strains, respectively. Further, compounds inhibited the growth of at least two out of ten fungal strains tested at MIC of 7.50–240.38 μM. The most active compound (20) of this series was 3.8 and 9.5 fold more active than the MTZ against the two Trichomonas strains tested. Compound 20 also significantly inhibited the sulfhydryl groups present over Trichomonas vaginalis and was found to be more active than the MTZ in vivo. Further, a docking analysis carried out with cysteine proteases supported their thiol inhibiting ability and preliminary pharmacokinetic study has shown good distribution and systemic clearance.

- Synthesis, toxicities and bio-activities of manganese complexes with CO and H2S dual donors
-
A series of H2S–CO dual-donors [Mn(CO)4CS2NR1R2] was synthesized, and evaluated from toxicity and bioactivity. The CO–H2S measuring test showed all the complexes not only released CO, but released H2S. The resulting data of cytotoxicity showed all the complexes had activities against the cell proliferation; among them, complexes 1, 2 and 7 displayed higher activities than the others, and their potencies were close to cis-platinum (DDP); whereas the precursors A1-A22 had almost no activities against all five tumor cell lines and W138 cell line proliferation. It is worth noting that complex 1 displayed the highest activity to MCF-7, complex 2 displayed the highest activity to HePG2, and complex 7 showed selectivity inhibition to both A549 and HeLa. The developmental toxicities of the complex were assessed using zebrafish embryos. The results showed complexes 1 and 2 had effect on the mortality and hatching rate of zebrafish embryos in dose-dependent manner. They caused zebrafish malformations when they were over 10 μM. Meanwhile, they displayed dose-dependent toxicities to larval zebrafish. In the test of bio-activities, complexes 1 and 2 had strong anti-inflammatory activities; they not only down-regulated the expression levels of iNOS and TNF-α up-regulated the expression of HO-1 and IL-10, but also up-regulated COX-2 levels. In contrast, the precursor compound (A1 or A2) displayed lower anti-inflammatory activity than the corresponding complex, which suggests both the CO and H2S from the complex took synergistic effects in the process of anti-inflammation. In addition, the complex showed antihypertensive effect and myocardial protection. This effect also possibly resulted from this synergistic effect. All these suggest the complexes have potential to be candidate medicines.

- Pharmacological investigation of mono-, di- and tri-organotin(IV) derivatives of carbodithioates: Design, spectroscopic characterization, interaction with SS-DNA and POM analyses
-
Ten complexes of sodium salt of pyrrolidine-1-carbodithioate with mono, di and tri-organotin(IV) derivatives, [SnR3(S2CR′); {R′ = pyrrolidine, R = CH3 (1), C2H5 (2) C6H11 (3), CH2-C6H5 (4)}; SnR2(S2CR′)2; {R = CH3 (5), C(CH3)3 (6) CH2-C6H5 (7)}; SnRCl2(S2CR′); {R = C4H8 (8), C6H5 (9, 10)], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental, FT-IR and multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C and 119Sn) techniques. The FT-IR data reveals that in triorganotin(IV) the CSS unit acts as a monodentate (Δνasym is >20) while in mono and diorganotin(IV) derivatives it acts bidentate as the difference (a single and unsplit peak is observed). The crystal structures of the complexes 3, 5, 6 and 9 were also determined by X-ray single crystal analysis. In complex 3 the geometry around of tin atoms is 4-coordinated tetrahedral while complex 9 demonstrated 5-coordinated geometry trigonal bipyramidal. Complexes 5 and 6 show 6-coordinated octahedral geometry. They were also screened for interaction with DNA by UV-visible spectroscopy. From the UV-visible spectroscopic result it was confirmed that the binding mode of these compounds with DNA is an intercalation. This was further conformed by viscosity measurements. The screening results show that the complex exhibit good antibacterial activity. POM analyses reveal that the compounds are slightly toxic and present a potential antibacterial activity. Moreover, they have 5-85% drug score which is an important parameter for the compound possessing the drug properties.

- Role of disulfide linkage in action of bis(dialkylaminethiocarbonyl)disulfides as potent double-Edged microbicidal spermicide: Design, synthesis and biology
-
Trichomoniasis and candidiasis are amongst the most common morbidity-causing reproductive tract infections, generally treated by Metronidazole and Fluconazole respectively. Poor vaginal efficacy, drug-resistance and non-spermicidal nature limit their use as topical microbicidal contraceptives. Bis(dialkylaminethiocarbonyl)disulfides (4-38) were designed as dually active, non-surfactant molecules capable of eliminating Trichomonas vaginalis and Candida strains as well as irreversibly immobilizing 100% human sperm instantly, at doses non-cytotoxic to human cervical epithelial cells and vaginal microflora in vitro. Compounds 12, 16, 17 were fifty times more active than nonoxynol-9, OTC vaginal spermicide, and compounds 12 and 17 have shown remarkable in vivo activity in rabbit model. Most promising compound 17 has shown promise for further development as a double-edged vaginal microbicide due to their improved activity and safety along with notable in vivo trichomonicidal activity. Role of disulfide group was established by loss of spermicidal activity on chemical modifications (39-56). These disulfides might be targeting thiol groups present over cell membrane of human sperm and Trichomonas as shown by fluorescence labeling of free thiols.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of dithiocarbamates as new cholinesterase inhibitors
-
In the present paper, a novel series of dithiocarbamates was synthesized via the treatment of 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl chloride with appropriate sodium salts of N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamic acids. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by 1H NMR, mass spectral data, and elemental analyses. Each derivative was evaluated for its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) using a modification of Ellman's spectrophotometric method. The most potent AChE inhibitor was found as compound 2g (IC50 = 0.53 ± 0.001 μM) followed by compounds 2f (IC50 = 0.74 ± 0.001 μM) and 2j (IC50 = 0.89 ± 0.002 μM) when compared with donepezil (IC50 = 0.048 ± 0.001 μM). Compounds 2f and 2g were more effective than donepezil (IC50 = 7.88 ± 0.52 μM) on BuChE inhibition. Compounds 2f and 2g exhibited the inhibitory effect on BuChE with IC50 values of 1.39 ± 0.041 and 3.64 ± 0.072 μM, respectively.

- Dithiocarbamates strongly inhibit carbonic anhydrases and show antiglaucoma action in vivo
-
A series of dithiocarbamates were prepared by reaction of primary/secondary amines with carbon disulfide in the presence of bases. These compounds were tested for the inhibition of four human (h) isoforms of the zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase, CA (EC 4.2.1.1), hCA I, II, IX, and XII, involved in pathologies such as glaucoma (CA II and XII) or cancer (CA IX). Several low nanomolar inhibitors targeting these CAs were detected. The X-ray crystal structure of the hCA II adduct with morpholine dithiocarbamate evidenced the inhibition mechanism of these compounds, which coordinate to the metal ion through a sulfur atom from the dithiocarbamate zinc-binding function. Some dithiocarbamates showed an effective intraocular pressure lowering activity in an animal model of glucoma.

- Exploring the structural requirements for inhibition of the ubiquitin E3 ligase breast cancer associated protein 2 (BCA2) as a treatment for breast cancer
-
The zinc-ejecting aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) inhibitory drug disulfiram (DSF) was found to be a breast cancer-associated protein 2 (BCA2) inhibitor with potent antitumor activity. We herein describe our work in the synthesis and evaluation of new series of zinc-affinic molecules to explore the structural requirements for selective BCA2-inhibitory antitumor activity. An N(C - S)S - S motif was found to be required, based on selective activity in BCA2-expressing breast cancer cell lines and against recombinant BCA2 protein. Notably, the DSF analogs (3a and 3c) and dithio(peroxo)thioate compounds (5d and 5f) were found to have potent activity (submicromolar IC50) in BCA2 positive MCF-7 and T47D cells but were inactive (IC50 > 10 μM) in BCA2 negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and the normal breast epithelial cell line MCF10A. Testing in the isogenic BCA2 +ve MDA-MB-231/ER cell line restored antitumor activity for compounds that were inactive in the BCA2 -ve MDA-MB-231 cell line. In contrast, structurally related dithiocarbamates and benzisothiazolones (lacking the disulfide bond) were all inactive. Compounds 5d and 5f were additionally found to lack ALDH-inhibitory activity, suggestive of selective E3 ligase-inhibitory activity and worthy of further development.

-
Fourteen new 1-[(N,N-disubstituted thiocarbamoylthio)acetyl]-3-(2-thienyl)- 5-aryl-2-pyrazoline derivatives (7a-n) were synthesised by reacting 1-(chloroacetyl)-3-(2-thienyl)-5-aryl-2-pyrazolines (5a-g) and appropriate sodium salts of N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamoic acids (6a, b). The structures of the synthesised compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses, UV, IR, 1H-NMR and FAB+-MS spectral data. Their antibacterial activities against Proteus vulgaris (NRRL B-123), Escherichia coli (NRRL B-3704), Aeromonas hydrophila (Ankara University, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences), Salmonella typhimurium (NRRL B-4420), Streptococcus feacalis (NRRL B-14617), Micrococcus luteus (NRLL B-4375) were investigated and in this investigation, a significant level of activity was illustrated. Antifungal activities of the compounds against Candida albicans and Candida globrata (isolates obtained from Osmangazi Uni. Fac. of Medicine) were found to be inactive. Compounds 7c-n were also evaluated for antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using the BACTEC 460 radiometric system and BACTEC 12B medium. The preliminary results indicated that all of the tested compounds were inactive against the test organism.

- Reduction Potentials of Thiuram Disulfide/Dithiocarbamate Couples in Acetone/Water
-
Reduction potentials relative to the saturated calomel electrode, Eo, of a series of thiuram disulfide/dithiocarbamate couples have been measured in 30percent v/v water in acetone and at μ 0.2 mol l-1 (NaNO3) by a combination of potentiometric measurements and equilibrium constant determinations for thiolate/disulfide interchange reactions.Eo values lie in the range -250 to -340 mV which place dithiocarbamates as intermediate between thiophenolate (Eo -540 mV) and ethylxanthate (Eo -206 mV) in reducing properties.The significant effect on Eo of varying the substituents on the nitrogen in the dithiocarbamates correlates with the substituent effects on the acid dissociation constants of the parent dithiocarbamic acid and with trends in the half-wave potentials for metal-based oxidation and reduction of transition metal dithiocarbamate complexes.
