New thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine analogues were synthesized and biologically assessed in-vitro for their antineoplastic activity. The growth inhibitory effects of these compounds were assessed through the National Cancer Institute-United States of America (NCI-USA) anticancer screening program. Compound 5 (7-Chloro-3-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methylthiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2(3H)-thione) was found to have a potent and broad-spectrum cytotoxic action against NCI panel with GI50 (50% growth inhibition concentration) mean graph midpoint (MG-MID) = 2.88 μM. MTT assay was used to determine IC50 values of the most potent agent against HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma and WI-38 human lung fibroblast cell lines; 5.33 μM ± 0.69 and 21.69 μM ± 1.04, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that compound 5 triggered apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest. The ability of compound 5 to inhibit CDK1 (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 1)/Cyclin B complex was evaluated, and its IC50 value was 97 nM ± 2.33. Moreover, according to the gene expression analysis, compound 5 up-regulated p53, BAX, cytochrome c, caspases-3,-8 and-9 besides down-regulated Bcl-2. In conclusion, compound 5 exerted a potent pro-apoptotic activity through the activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase.

β-Amino esters are obtained with high levels of enantioselectivity via the conjugate addition of cyclic amines to unactivated α,β-unsaturated esters. A related strategy enables the kinetic resolution of racemic cyclic 2-arylamines, using benzyl acrylate as the resolving agent. Reactions are facilitated by an unprecedented selenourea-thiourea organocatalyst. As elucidated by DFT calculations and 13C kinetic isotope effect studies, the rate-limiting and enantiodetermining step of the reaction is the protonation of a zwitterionic intermediate by the catalyst. This represents a rare case in which a thiourea compound functions as an asymmetric Br?nsted acid catalyst.

A series of N,4-diaryl-1,3-thiazole-2-amines containing three aromatic rings with an amino linker were designed and synthesized as tubulin inhibitors and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity in three human cancer cell lines. Most of the target compounds displayed moderate antiproliferative activity, and N-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-amine (10s) was determined to be the most potent compound. Tubulin polymerization and immunostaining experiments revealed that 10s potently inhibited tubulin polymerization and disrupted tubulin microtubule dynamics in a manner similar to CA-4. Moreover, 10s effectively induced SGC-7901 cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in both concentrationand time-dependent manners. The molecular docking results revealed that 10s could bind to the colchicine binding site of tubulin.
