Synthesis, Antileishmanial Activity and Spin Labeling EPR Studies of Novel β-Carboline-Oxazoline and β-Carboline-Dihydrooxazine Derivatives

A series of novel 1-(substituted-phenyl)-3-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)-9H-β-carboline (8a-8i) and 1-(substituted-phenyl)-3-(5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-2-yl)-9H-β-carboline (9a-9h) derivatives, as well as their respective N-(chloroalkyl)-1-(substituted-phenyl)-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxamide precursors (6a-6i and 7a-7h), were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antileishmanial activity against promastigote and intracellular amastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis. Compounds 8d, 8i, 9e and 9h exhibited significant activity for both promastigote and amastigote forms, with IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) values ranging from 2.9 to 23.0 μM. In addition, spin label electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy studies were carried out for the most active compounds against L. amazonensis promastigotes. The studies indicated that the tested compounds cause strong stiffness in the parasite plasma membrane and are capable of inducing internal metalloproteins oxidation of the parasite, resulting in their cross-linking to skeletal proteins. Compounds 8d and 8i produced the largest effect, showing that the presence of oxazoline group at C-3 of β-carboline nucleus is important for antileishmanial activity.

Synthesis and anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity of imide-β-carboline and carbomethoxy-β-carboline derivatives

A series of methyl β-carboline carboxylates (2a-g) and of imide-β-carboline derivatives containing the phthalimide (4a-g), maleimide (5b, g) and succinimide (6b, e, g) moiety were synthesized, and evaluated for their activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The most active β-carboline derivatives against the reference strain were assayed for their cytotoxicity and the activity against resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates. Farther, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies were carried out using the three and four-dimensional approaches for starting to understand the way of β-carboline activity in M. tuberculosis. All 19 β-carboline derivatives were assayed, firstly, by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using resazurin microtiter assay plate (REMA) in M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Then, five derivatives (2c, 4a, 4e, 4g, 6g), which showed MIC ≤ 125 μg/mL, were assayed in nine resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates (five MDR, three isoniazid monoresistant and one isoniazid plus streptomycin resistant). The MIC values against the resistant clinical isolates ranged from 31.25 to >250 μg/mL. All five derivatives were non-cytotoxic to the VERO cell line, determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, at the tested concentration (selectivity index ranged from 1.74 to 14.4). Our study demonstrated that (2c) and (6g) derivatives had better anti-M. tuberculosis activity, especially against resistant clinical isolates, what makes them scaffold candidates for further investigations about their anti-tuberculosis activity. The SAR study conducted with the 19 β-carboline derivatives showed the importance of steric effects for the synthesized β-carbolines against M tuberculosis, and these models can be used for future proposition of new derivatives, increasing the chances of obtaining potentially anti-tuberculosis compounds.

Iodine-catalyzed one-pot decarboxylative aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines

A synthetic strategy was developed for the preparation of β-carbolines by one-pot decarboxylation and aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acids by employing 10?mol% of iodine in presence of oxidant aqueous H2O2. The method was also successfully extended for the aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-methyl esters. The utility of the method was demonstrated in the synthesis of β-carboline alkaloids norharmane, harmane and eudistomin N.

Synthesis and evaluation of novel hybrids β-carboline-4-thiazolidinones as potential antitumor and antiviral agents

A series of novel hybrids β-carboline-4-thiazolidinones were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antitumor activity against human cancer cell lines and for antiviral activity towards Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1). From the N′-(2-ylidene-4-thiazolidinone)-β-carboline-3-carbohydrazide series (9–11), compounds 9c and 11d were the most active, showing growth inhibition 50% (GI50) values less than 5 μM for all cell lines tested. Compound 9c, bearing the 4-dimethylaminophenyl group at C-1 of β-carboline was selected for further investigation concerning cell death and cell cycle profile, focusing on the human renal adenocarcinoma cell line 786-0. Treatments with 25 μM of compound 9c induced cell death after 15 h of treatment, characterized by phosphatidylserine exposure and loss of membrane integrity. Moreover, treatment with 12.5 μM promoted a sub-G1 arrest, which indicates cell death. Derivatives of the N-(2-substituted-aryl-4-thiazolidinone)-β-carboline-3-carboxamide series (18–23) showed a potent activity and high selectivity for glioma (U251) and ovarian (OVCAR-3) cancer cell lines. Also, some β-carboline-4-thiazolidinone hybrids showed potent antiviral activity against Herpes simplex virus type-1. The N-(2-substituted-aryl-4-thiazolidinone)-carboxamide moiety in 18, 19 and 22 confer a potent anti-HSV-1 activity for these derivatives, which presented EC50values of 0.80, 2.15 and 2.02 μM, respectively. The assay results showed that the nature of 4-thiazolidinone moiety and of the substituent attached at the 3- and 1- position of β-carboline nucleus influenced the antitumor and antiviral activities.

Synthesis and antitumoral activity of novel 3-(2-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazol-5-yl) and 3-(5-substituted-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) β-carboline derivatives

Several novel 1-substituted-phenyl β-carbolines bearing the 2-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazol-5-yl and 5-substituted-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl groups at C-3 were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity. The assay results pointed thirteen compounds with growth inhibition effect (GI50 50 values lying in the nanomolar concentration range (GI50 = 10 nM for both compounds). The 1-(N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-3-(5-thioxo-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) β-carboline (8g) was the most active compound, showing particular effectiveness on lung (GI50 = 0.06 μM), ovarian and renal cell lines. The potent anticancer activity presented for synthesized compounds 7a, 7h, and 8g, together with their easiness of synthesis, makes these compounds promising anticancer agents.
