Plaques of amyloid fibrils composed of neuronal protein α-synuclein are one of the hallmarks of Parkinson's disease, and their selective imaging is crucial to study the mechanism of its pathogenesis. However, the existing fluorescent probes for amyloids are efficient only in solution and tissue systems, and they are not selective enough for the visualization of amyloid fibrils in living cells. In this study, we present two molecular rotor-based probes RB1 and RB2. These thiazolium probes show affinity to α-synuclein fibrils and turn-on fluorescence response upon interactions. Because of its extended π-conjugation and high rotational degree of freedom, RB1 exhibits a 76 nm red-shift of absorption maxima and 112-fold fluorescence enhancement upon binding to amyloid fibrils. Owing to its strong binding affinity to α-synuclein fibrils, RB1 can selectively stain them in the cytoplasm of living HeLa and SH-SY5Y cells with high optical contrast. RB1 is a cell-permeable and noncytotoxic probe. Taken together, we have demonstrated that RB1 is an amyloid probe with an outstanding absorption red-shift that can be used for intracellular imaging of α-synuclein fibrils.

In our ongoing efforts to develop potent antitubercular agents based on the 6-phenylnicotinohydrazide, herein we report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of three sets of 6-phenylnicotinohydrazide derivatives 8a-g, 12 and 16a, b. The designed compounds were synthesized and in vitro evaluated for their antitubercular activity. In addition, their antifungal and antibacterial activities were evaluated as well. The nicotinohydrazide class displayed different levels of antimicrobial activity and possessed a distinctive pattern of selectivity against the tested microorganisms. However, the 2,6-dichlorobenzylidene counterpart 8b emerged as the most active one in this study, with superior antimycobacterial activity (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)=3.90 μg/mL) and potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities with MIC range of 0.24-1.95 μg/mL. The structure-activity relationship for such nicotinohydrazides has been established. Further, the cytotoxicity of the most active antitubercular compounds 8b, d and g were tested against the normal breast cells WI-38; none of them displayed significant cytotoxic effect, thereby providing a good therapeutic index.

In order to study the effect of microwave irradiation over aromatic nucleophilic substitutions at atmospheric pressure and in a homogeneous medium, experiments with disubstituted-benzenes and the nucleophiles piperidine and potassium t-butoxide, in refluxing DMSO or DMF, were carried out. The aromatic nucleophilic substitutions under microwave irradiation were 2.7 to 12 times faster than under conventional reflux.

We report the creation of a novel group of the ABDI-BF2 fluorescent dyes based on the conformationally locked GFP chromophore. We studied the intramolecular mechanism of radiationless deactivation of the ABDI-BF2 fluorophore by introducing the various substituents at the nitrogen atom. The results of this study and our previous work allowed us to claim that in case of ABDI-BF2 this deactivation is determined by the formation of the nonfluorescent internal charge transfer exited state with a planar quinoidal structure. The electronic effects have a greater impact on the radiationless deactivation than the conformation. Thus, the introduction of an electron-donating group is more effective than the creation of rigid derivatives. The presented dyes are characterized by high fluorescence quantum yields and pH-independence in the physiological pH range, making them promising candidates for a wide spectrum of fluorescence labeling applications.
Cu(II)-catalyzed C-N coupling of (hetero)aryl halides and N-Nucleophiles promoted by α-benzoin oxime

, (2019)
We first reported the new application of a translate metal chelating ligand α-benzoin oxime for improving Cu-catalyzed C-N coupling reactions. The system could catalyse coupling reactions of (hetero)aryl halides with a wide of nucleophiles (e.g., azoles, piperidine, pyrrolidine and amino acids) in moderate to excellent yields. The protocol allows rapid access to the most common scaαolds found in FDA-approved pharmaceuticals.

Multitarget molecules are considered as an effective way for the treatment of AD, instead of the classic one-drug-one-target strategy because of the multifactorial nature of AD. A variety of studies indicate that several enzymes inhibitors can be useful in the treatment of AD, including acetylcholinesterase (AchE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO). Various substituted quinoxaline-hydrazone derivatives were synthesized, and their activity in vitro were investigated, including AChE/BuChE inhibitory activity and MAOA/B inhibitory activity. Based on the experimental results, compound 5l exhibited good inhibitory potency on both AchE (IC50 = 0.028 ± 0.001 μM) and monoamine oxidase B (IC50 = 0.046 ± 0.002 μM). Molecular modeling studies showed that 5l could bind to the active site of AChE and MAO-B. Taken together, these results suggested that compound 5l might be a potential multifunctional agent for the treatment of AD.

During the last five decades, a large number of BT (Benzothiazole) derivatives formed one of the eligible structures in medicinal chemistry as anticancer agents. Most of the studies reveal that various substitutions at specific positions on BT scaffold modulate the antitumor property. The potential of BTs encouraged us to synthesize a number of new 2-((5-substitutedbenzothiazol-2-yl)thio)-N’-(2-(4-(substitutedphenyl)ethylidene)acetohydrazide derivatives and investigate their probable anticancer activity. 4-Substitued benzaldehyde derivatives (1a–1e) were afforded by the reaction of appropriate secondary amine and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde in DMF. Equimolar quantitates of 5-substitutedbenzothiazole-2-thiol, ethyl chloroacetate and K2CO3 were refluxed in acetone to obtain 2-((5-substitutedbenzothiazol-2-yl)thio)acetate derivatives (2a,2b), which reacted with excess of hydrazine hydrate to get 2-((5-substitutebenzothiazol-2-yl)thio)acetohydrazides (3a,3b). In the last step, 2-((5-substitutedbenzothiazol-2-yl)thio)-N’-(4-substitutedbenzylidene)acetohydrazide derivatives (4a–4j) were synthesized by the reaction of 1a–1e and 3a–3b in EtOH. The anticancer activity of target compounds was evaluated in three steps. First, an MTT test (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) was performed to observe cytotoxic activity of the compounds against carcinogenic C6 (Rat brain glioma cell line), A549 (Human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line), MCF-7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma cell line), and HT-29 (Human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line) cancer cell lines. Healthy NIH3T3 (Mouse embryo fibroblast cell line) cells were also subjected to MTT assay to determine selectivity of the compounds towards carcinogenic cell lines. Secondly, inhibitory effects of selected compounds 4d, 4e, and 4h on DNA synthesis of C6 cells were investigated. Finally, flow cytometric analysis were performed to identify the death pathway of the carcinogenic cells.

The present study describes the synthesis of 6-bromo-2-(pyridin-3-yl)-4-substituted quinazolines starting from 4-chloro derivative VI via the reaction with either phenolic compounds to obtain VIIa-f, IXa-d, 2-amino-6-(un)substituted benzothiazole to produce VIIIa-c or hydrazine hydrate to give X. Reaction of the hydrazino functionality of X with appropriate acid anhydride, acid chloride or aldehyde affords XIa-c, XIIa-c and XIVa-i, respectively. The target compounds were screened for their efficacy as EGFR inhibitors compared to gefitinib. Compounds eliciting superior EGFR inhibitory activity were further screened for their in vitro cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines namely: MCF7 (breast) and A549 (lung), in addition to normal fibroblast cell WI38 relative to gefitinib as a reference. Furthermore, compounds that showed potent inhibitory activity on wild-type EGFR were screened against mutant EGFR and assayed for their cytotoxicity against mutant EGFR-expressing cell lines PC9 and HCC827. The unsubstituted benzothiazol-2-amine VIIa showing superior EGFR inhibition (IC50 = 0.096 μM) and anticancer activity against MCF-7 cell line (IC50 = 2.49 μM) was subjected to cell cycle analysis and apoptotic assay. Moreover, a molecular docking study was performed to investigate the interaction of some representive compounds with the active site of EGFR- TK.
