Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance has become a significant threat to global public health, thus precipitating an exigent need for new drugs with improved therapeutic efficacy. In this regard, molecular hybridization is deemed as a viable strategy to afford multi-target-based drug candidates. Herein, we report a library of quinoline—1H-1,2,3-triazole molecular hybrids synthesized via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC). Antimicrobial evaluation identified compound 16 as the most active hybrid in the library with a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity at an MIC80 value of 75.39?μM against methicillin-resistant S. aureus, E. coli, A. baumannii, and multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae. The compound also showed interesting antifungal profile against C. albicans and C. neoformans at an MIC80 value of 37.69 and 2.36?μM, respectively, superior to fluconazole. In vitro toxicity profiling revealed non-hemolytic activity against human red blood cells (hRBC) but partial cytotoxicity to human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293). Additionally, in silico studies predicted excellent drug-like properties and the importance of triazole ring in stabilizing the complexation with target proteins. Overall, these results present compound 16 as a promising scaffold on which other molecules can be modeled to deliver new antimicrobial agents with improved potency.

Three phenyl dimer compounds, namely 3,3′-Diformyldiphenoxyethane (C16H14O4) (1), 1-(4-[2-(4-Acetyl-phenoxy)-ethoxy]-phenyl)-ethanone (C17H16N2O3) (2), 1-{4-[2-(4-Acetyl-phenoxymethyl)-benzyloxy]-phenyl}-ethanone (C24H22O4) (3), were obtained and fully characterized, including their crystal structure determinations. The structural properties of two compounds 4, 4′-(ethylenedioxy)dibenzaldehyde) (C16H14O4) (Tewari et al. Acta Cryst. E63:o1930, 2007) [1] (4) and 4-(2-Phenoxy-ethoxy)-benzaldehyde (C15H14O3) (Valgera et al. CCDC 710835, 2016) [2] (5) are discussed with the role of the substituent in crystal packing. In vivo, anti-inflammatory activities of all compounds were studied on Wistar strain albino rats. All the compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory activity except 5. Compounds 1, 2, 4 have shown moderate-to-intermediate effects on inhibitory properties. Compound (3) with restricted rotation in the compound-like SC-558 drug was shown to possess good inhibitory properties at 180?min. In silico analysis was performed and compared with experimental in vivo results.

In this paper, five V-type stilbene dyes (VD, 1a-1e) that had unchanged dimethylamino phenylethenyl (DMPE) arm as inclusive location with CB[7] and another arm with different steric hindrance aryloxyethyl (AE) group were designed and synthesized. Their inclusive characteristics and stability to CB[7] were studied. Fluorescence spectroscopy and 1H NMR method were used respectively to study the inclusive characteristics of 1a?CB[7], 1b?CB[7], 1c?CB [7], 1d?CB[7] and 1e?CB[7]. Fitting curves results of fluorescent titration indicated that 1:1 complexes between CB[7] and VD were constructed, and their inclusive constants were calculated respectively. The order of inclusive constants K1a?CB[7]>?K1b?CB[7]>?K1c?CB[7] >?K1d?CB[7] was consistent with the magnitude of the steric hindrance, however, 1e did not include with CB[7]. Therefore, a series of steric hindrance controlled [2]pseudorotaxanes were constructed.

Three series of new homoserine lactone analogs were efficiently synthesized starting from methionine and further evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against different cancer cell lines. Among these compounds, some of the chalcone containing compounds 6a-n showed acceptable antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer cells DU145 and PC-3 with the IC50 values less than 10 μM. Compounds 6c, 6e and 6h inhibited growth of DU145 and PC-3 cells at low micromolar levels with the IC50 values ranging from 3.0 to 5.0 μM, much more potent than natural OdDHL. Compound 6e concentration-dependently inhibited colony formation and cell migration of DU145 cells. A synergistic effect on the growth inhibition and the apoptosis of DU145 cells was observed when compound 6e was used in combination with TRAIL. OdDHL or 6e treatment concentration-dependently activated TRAIL death receptor DR5 which may account for the observed synergistic effect of 6e or OdDHL with TRAIL on the growth inhibition and cell apoptosis. Compound 6e also inhibited migration of DU145 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The data suggest that quorum sensing molecules OdDHL and 6e may improve the sensitivity of DU145 cells toward TRAIL via activating DR5, compound 6e may be used as a potential lead compound for developing new TRAIL receptor agonists.

The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have attracted interest as potent targets for the treatment of metabolic syndrome such as type 2 diabetes. Based on the hypothesis that the dual agonists of PPARs and FFA1 would act as insulin sensitizers and secretagogues by simultaneous activation of PPARs and FFA1, we developed the design strategy to obtain dual PPARs/FFA1 agonist by hybrid FFA1 agonist 1 with PPARδ agonist 2 in consideration of their structural similarity. As expected, systematic exploration of structure-activity relationship and molecular modeling, results in the discovery of lead compound 15, a pan agonist with relative balanced activities between FFA1, PPARγ and PPARδ. The dose-response relationship studies suggested that the pan agonist 15 suppressed the excursion of blood glucose levels in a dose-dependent manner. During a 5-days treatment in ob/ob mice, the pan agonist 15 (100 mg/kg) revealed sustained hypoglycemic effect, even proximity to the most advanced FFA1 agonist (TAK-875, 40 mg/kg), which might be attributed to its pan PPARs/FFA1 activities to simultaneous regulate the mechanism of insulin secretion and resistance. These positive results suggest that the dual PPARs/FFA1 agonists such as lead compound 15 might be novel therapeutic strategy to modulate the complex pathological mechanisms of type 2 diabetes.

A computational approach combining a structure-activity relationship library of halogenated and the corresponding unsubstituted ligands (called XSAR) with QM-based molecular docking and binding free energy calculations was used to search for amino acids frequently targeted by halogen bonding (hot spots) in a 5-HT7R as a case study. The procedure identified two sets of hot spots, extracellular (D2.65, T2.64, and E7.35) and transmembrane (C3.36, T5.39, and S5.42), which were further verified by a synthesized library of halogenated arylsulfonamide derivatives of (aryloxy)ethylpiperidines. It was found that a halogen bond formed between T5.39 and a bromine atom at 3-position of the aryloxy fragment caused the most remarkable, 35-fold increase in binding affinity for 5-HT7R when compared to the nonhalogenated analog. The proposed paradigm of halogen bonding hot spots was additionally verified on D4 dopamine receptor showing that it can be used in rational drug design/optimization for any protein target.

The influences of reaction parameters on the etherification of phenols to obtain 1-bromo-2-aryloxyethane derivatives were evaluated. The compounds were prepared by direct etherification of phenols with 1,2-dibromoethane using anhydrous K2CO3 and acetonitrile as solvent reaction, at 80°C, in a reaction time of 6 h. Under these conditions, excellent yields (71%-94%) were obtained, with low yields of secondary products. The anhydrous K2CO3 was recycled by simple filtration, dried in vacuum, and reused. The compounds were characterized by conventional spectral data (MS and NMR). Larvicidal activity results showed a 100% larval mortality after 24-hour exposure to the compound 1-(2-bromoethoxy)-2-phenylbenzene.

CB[n] (n?=?6–8) is a family of synthetic macrocyclic host molecules composed of n glycoluril units, which can be employed as molecular reactor. N-Phenyloxypropyl-N′-ethyl-4,4′-bipyridium (1) was designed to form a host–guest inclusion complex with CB[n] (n?=?6–8), subsequently, the bromination reaction of 1 and its corresponding inclusion complexes was investigated in this work. In the case of 1/CB[8], the folded including mode is quite helpful to acquire 1-bormination product completely through intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), and CB[8] can provide a safe bromination environment for 1.

Five tetradentate ligands, L1–5, bearing the moiety of bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine (1) and their complexes with Mn(II) were prepared. All the compounds and metal complexes were appropriately characterized. The five manganese(II) complexes (3a–e) are of the formula, [Mn(II)LxCl2] (x = 1-5), as suggested by the crystal structure of complexes 3b and 3c. All the ligands except for L3 possess two iodobenzene groups via an ether linkage (except for L1) with various lengths. By using oxone as an oxidant, the catalytic activity of these complexes on the oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone in acetonitrile/water at room temperature was studied. Our results showed that the pendant iodophenyl groups play a synergetic role with the metal center in the catalysis, and complex 3b possesses the most appropriate length of the linkage between the iodobenzene group and the metal center. EPR and FTIR data suggest that the metal center of the active species should be Mn(IV) after the oxidation of oxone under the reaction conditions. A catalytic mechanism was also proposed based on the experimental observations.
