Semi-synthesis and anti-lung cancer activity evaluation of aryl dihydrothiazol acyl podophyllotoxin ester derivatives

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, making it one of the biggest concerns for chemoprevention. In this study, we obtained seventeen potent anticancer agents through semi-synthesis based on a natural product, podophyllotoxin. Despite prior studies of podophyllotoxin derivatives being focussed on DNA-topoisomerase II, we now turn our attention to their effect on tubulin. The MTT assay screened out the most potent anticancer agent, S12 (IC50 = 0.18 μM against A549 cell line), and it showed lower cytotoxicity against normal cells. Next, the flow cytometry analysis result demonstrated that it can cause a remarkable cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase but the effect on apoptosis is not very significant. In addition, docking simulation results showed that S12 can nicely bound to the colchicine binding site of tubulin. Furthermore, we confirmed that S12 can really inhibit tubulin polymerization through confocal microscopy and protein expression determination assay.

Synthesis, biological activities, and 3D-QSAR studies of (R)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide derivatives containing a sulfonohydrazide moiety

To discover a novel lead structure for antiphytopathogenic fungus agent, a series of (R)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide derivatives containing a sulfonohydrazide moiety were designed and synthesized. They were determined by melting points, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis (EA). The biological activity results revealed that these title compounds possessed antifungal and insecticidal activities. Some title compounds against Alternaria solani, Physalospora piricola, Cercospora arachidicola, Phytophthora capsici, Fusarium graminearum, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum displayed moderate to good antifungal activities at 50 mg/L, especially, compounds 6b and 6p displayed good and broad-spectrum antifungal activities. The structure activity relationships were discussed. A 3D-QSAR model was established based on the antifungal activity against Phytophthora capsici, indicating that electrostatic and hydrophobic fields were the two most significant factors for antifungal activity. Hence, structure optimization based on the CoMSIA model was performed to find compound 6p with excellent activity against Phytophthora capsici, and the EC50 values of compound 6p were comparable to those of chlorothalonil. Furthermore, the insecticidal activity of compound 6p against Culex pipiens larvae at 1 mg/L was considerable to that of chlorantraniliprole. Therefore, compound 6p can be used as a novel lead structure for antiphytopathogenic fungus and insecticidal agent development.

Synthesis, biological activities and 3D-QSAR studies of (R)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide derivatives containing a sulfur ether moiety

A series of (R)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide derivatives containing a sulfur ether moiety were synthesized and characterized on the basis of NMR and elemental analysis (EA). The crystal structure of (R)-N-(2-methyl-1-(methylthio)propan-2-yl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide (13d) was determined to show R configuration. The bioasssy results indicated that most title compounds displayed good and broad spectrum antifungal activities against several phytopathogenic fungi. The structure activity relationships were discussed. Based on the antifungal activity of title compounds against Phytophthora capsici, a CoMSIA calculation was performed to establish a 3D-QSAR model, which revealed that electrostatic and hydrophobic fields were the two most significant factors for antifungal activity. According to the established 3D-QSAR model, structure optimization was carried out to find (R)-N-((R)-1-(methylthio)propan-2-yl)-2-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide (15h) with excellent activity against Phytophthora capsici, thus emerging as a new lead compound for novel antiphytopathogenic fungus agent development.

(R)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide derivatives containing a diacylhydrazine group: Synthesis, biological evaluation, and SARs

A series of (R)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxamide derivatives containing a diacylhydrazine moiety were designed and synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by melting points, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis (EA). Their antifungal and insecticidal activities were evaluated. The antifungal activity result indicated that most title compounds against Cercospora arachidicola, Alternaria solani, Phytophthora capsici, and Physalospora piricola exhibited apparent antifungal activities at 50 mg/L, and better than chlorothalonil or carbendazim. The EC50 values of (R)-N'-benzoyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carbohydrazide (I-5) against six tested phytopathogenic fungi were comparable to those of chlorothalonil. The CoMSIA model showed that a proper hydrophilic group in the R1 position, as well as a proper hydrophilic and electron-donating group in the R2 position, could improve the antifungal activity against Physalospora piricola, which contributed to the further optimization of the structures. Meanwhile, most title compounds displayed good insecticidal activities, especially compound (R)-N'-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carbohydrazide (III-3). The insecticidal mechanism results indicated that compound III-3 can serve as e_ective insect Ca2+ level modulators by disrupting the cellular calcium homeostasis in Mythimna separata.

Cu(i)-Catalyzed oxidative homo-coupling of thiazoline-4-carboxylates: Synthesis of 4,4′-bithiazoline derivatives

Cu(i)-Catalyzed oxidative homo-coupling of thiazoline-4-carboxylates with good functional group tolerance has been developed. The methodology presented an efficient method to directly construct vicinal carbon-hetero quaternary centers existing in numerous functional molecules and could be applied to the synthesis of 4,4′-bithiazoles which are difficult to prepare by direct C-H activation.

Synthesis of aryl dihydrothiazol acyl shikonin ester derivatives as anticancer agents through microtubule stabilization

The high incidence of cancer and the side effects of traditional anticancer drugs motivate the search for new and more effective anticancer drugs. In this study, we synthesized 17 kinds of aryl dihydrothiazol acyl shikonin ester derivatives and evaluated their anticancer activity through MTT assay. Among them, C13 showed better antiproliferation activity with IC50 = 3.14 ± 0.21 μM against HeLa cells than shikonin (IC50 = 5.75 ± 0.47 μM). We then performed PI staining assay, cell cycle distribution, and cell apoptosis analysis for C13 and found that it can cause cell arrest in G2/M phase, which leads to cell apoptosis. This derivative can also reduce the adhesive ability of HeLa cells. Docking simulation and confocal microscopy assay results further indicated that C13 could bind well to the tubulin at paclitaxel binding site, leading to tubulin polymerization and mitotic disruption.

Discovery of 4-substituted methoxybenzoyl-aryl-thiazole as novel anticancer agents: Synthesis, biological evaluation, and structure-activity relationships

A series of 4-substituted methoxybenzoyl-aryl-thiazoles (SMART) have been discovered and synthesized as a result of structural modifications of the lead compound 2-arylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid amides (ATCAA). The antiproliferative activity of the SMART agents against melanoma and prostate cancer cells was improved from μM to low nM range compared with the ATCAA series. The structure-activity relationship was discussed from modifications of "A", "B", and "C" rings and the linker. Preliminary mechanism of action studies indicated that these compounds exert their anticancer activity through inhibition of tubulin polymerization.
