The inhibitory potency of isoxazole-curcumin analogue for the management of breast cancer: A comparative in vitro and molecular modeling investigation

Curcumin, a potent phytochemical derived from the spice element turmeric, has been identified as a herbal remedy decades ago and has displayed promise in the field of medicinal chemistry. However, multiple traits associated with curcumin, such as poor bio

Structure activity relationship, cytotoxicity and evaluation of antioxidant activity of curcumin derivatives

Series of curcumin derivatives/analogues were designed and efficient method for synthesis thereof is described. All the synthesized compounds have been screened for their cytotoxicity and evaluated their antioxidant activity. Cytotoxicity effect has been evaluated against three cell lines Hep-G2, HCT-116 and QG-56 by MTT assay method. Structure activity relationship has revealed that particularly, compound 3c, (IC50 value 6.25 μM) has shown better cytotoxicity effect against three cell lines. According to results of SAR study, it was found that 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives (2e and 2f), pyrazoles (3a, 3b, 3c and 3d) benzylidenes (4d) exhibited better antioxidant activity than curcumin. A correlation of structure and activities relationship of these compounds with respect to drug score profiles and other physico-chemical properties of drugs are described and verified experimentally.

Synthesis, antiproliferative activity, and molecular docking studies of curcumin analogues bearing pyrazole ring

Several curcumin analogues bearing pyrazole were synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR, and mass spectral data. There were four tested compounds among 11 synthesized compounds, which were evaluated for antiproliferative activity and showed significant activity in both one-dose and five-dose assays. The antiproliferative effects were tested on a panel of 60 cell lines, according to the National Cancer Institute screening protocol. The most active compounds among the series were 3,5-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylstyryl)-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide (3k) which showed mean percent growth inhibition of 116.09 in one-dose assay at 10 μM, and GI50 values were ranging between 0.0912 and 2.36 μM in five-dose assay. The best results were recorded on the leukaemia cell lines with value ranging from 0.0912 to 0.365 μM. All the tested compounds showed broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity over different cancer cell lines. When compared with the standard drug paclitaxel, the compound 3k showed superior activity on nearly 42 cell lines. The molecular docking study was performed to explore the binding interaction of these curcumin analogues with the active site of EGFR tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK). The hydroxyl group of both phenyl rings was important for the rein-geminated hydrogen bonding by either side chain or backbone with the active site of EGFR-TK. Graphical Abstract: Four curcumin analogues were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity and showed promising results. The molecular docking studies showed that all the compounds (3a-k) were well accommodated in the EGFR tyrosine kinase.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Synthesis and evaluation of antimicrobial activity of 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b] benzothiazole, pyrazole and benzylidene derivatives of curcumin

A novel, one-pot, simple, efficient procedure for 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b] benzothiazole (4a-h), pyrazole (6a-d) and benzylidene (7a-d) derivatives of curcumin under solvent and solvent free conditions in microwave with good yield is have been synthesized. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria viz. Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus and Providencia rettgeri and antifungal activity against fungi viz Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigates, Aspergillus flavus. Detailed mechanistic study shows reaction proceeds through Knoevenagel type intermediate 3a which has been suggested as key intermediate for reaction (Fig. 3).
