In the area of cancer research, the development of new and potent inhibitors of anti-apoptotic proteins is a very active and promising topic. The small molecule MIM1 has been reported earlier as one of the first selective inhibitors of the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1. In the present paper, we first revised the structure of this molecule based on extensive physicochemical analyses. Then we designed and synthesized a focused library of analogues for the corrected structure of MIM1. Next, these molecules were subjected to a panel ofin cellulobiological studies, allowing the identification of dual Bcl-xL/Mcl-1 inhibitors, as well as selective Mcl-1 inhibitors. These results have been complemented by fluorescence polarization assays with the Mcl-1 protein. Preliminary structure-activity relationships were discussed and extensive molecular modelling studies allowed us to propose a rationale for the biological activity of this series of new inhibitors, in particular for the selectivity of inhibition of Mcl-1versusBcl-xL

With the aim to combat a multi-faceted neurodegenerative Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a series of carbazole-based semicarbazide and hydrazide derivatives were designed, synthesized and assessed for their cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitory, antioxidant and biometal chelating activity. Among them, (E)-2-((9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylene)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide (62) and (E)-2-((9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylene)-N-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide (63) emerged as the premier candidates with good ChE inhibitory activities (IC50 values of 1.37 μM and 1.18 μM for hAChE, IC50 values of 2.69 μM and 3.31 μM for EqBuChE, respectively). All the test compounds displayed excellent antioxidant activity (reduction percentage of DPPH values for compounds (62) and (63) were 85.67% and 84.49%, respectively at 100 μM concentration). Compounds (62) and (63) conferred specific copper ion chelating property in metal chelation study. Molecular docking studies of compounds (62) and (63) indicate strong interactions within the active sites of both the ChE enzymes. Besides that, these compounds also exhibited significant in silico drug-like pharmacokinetic properties. Thus, taken together, they can serve as a starting point in the designing of multifunctional ligands in pursuit of potential anti-AD agents that might further prevent the progression of ADs.

In this paper, a series of thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing different aromatic heterocyclic groups were synthesized and the tridentate donor system of the lead compound was optimized. Most of the target compounds showed improved antiproliferative activity against MGC803 cells. SAR studies revealed that compound 5d displayed significant advantages in inhibition effect with an IC50 value of 0.031 μM, and better selectivity between cancer and normal cells than 3-AP and DpC (about 15- and 5-fold improved respectively). Besides, compound 5d showed selective antiproliferative activity in not only other cancer cells but also different gastric cancer cell lines. In-depth mechanism studies showed that compound 5d could induce mitochondria-related apoptosis which might be related to the elevation of intracellular ROS level, and cause cell cycle arrest at S phase. Moreover, 5d could evidently suppress the cell migration and invasion by blocking the EMT (epithelial–mesenchymal transition) process. Consequently, our studies provided a lead optimization strategy of thiosemicarbazone derivatives which would contribute to discover high-efficiency and low-toxicity agents for the treatment of gastric cancer.

In the present study, a novel series of N-((substituted)carbamothioyl)-2,4-dimethylquinoline-3-carboxamide (7a-7s) was synthesized by microwave-assisted method. Structure of these derivatives was examined by spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and ESI-MS. Further, the novel synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro biological activities against antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and antituberculosis activity as well as for in-silico study. The antimalarial results demonstrated that compounds 7c and 7q (0.02 μg/mL) have notable potency against Plasmodium falciparum compared with chloroquine (0.02 μg/mL); compounds 7l (0.10 μg/mL), 7e, 7s (0.19 μg/mL), 7b, 7p (0.15 μg/mL), 7a, 7f, and 7f (0.25 μg/mL) also exhibited good activity against P. falciparum compared with quinine (0.26 μg/mL) as standard drug. Docking was performed on PFDHFR-TS, given the effect of compounds against the P. falciparum strain was excellent in comparison with standard drug. Molecular docking suggested that compounds 7b, 7i and 7c, 7e, and 7l closely bind with the active site of protein 3JSU and 4DP3, respectively, and compared with biological activity. We have also carried out molecular dynamics simulation on the best dock compound 7e complex with PDB: 3JSU to check the stability of docked complex and their molecular interaction. The calculated ADME-Tox descriptors for the synthesized compounds validated good pharmacokinetics properties, suggesting that these compounds could be used as hit for the development of the new active agents.

Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) are ectoenzymes that play an important role in the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphate and diphosphate to nucleoside monophosphate. NTPDase1, -2, -3 and -8 are the membrane bound members of this enzyme family that are responsible for regulating the levels of nucleotides in extracellular environment. However, the pathophysiological functions of these enzymes are not fully understood due to lack of potent and selective NTPDase inhibitors. Herein, a series of oxoindolin hydrazine carbothioamide derivatives is synthesized and screened for NTPDase inhibitory activity. Four compounds were identified as selective inhibitors of h-NTPDase1 having IC50 values in lower micromolar range, these include compounds 8b (IC50 = 0.29 ± 0.02 μM), 8e (IC50 = 0.15 ± 0.009 μM), 8f (IC50 = 0.24 ± 0.01 μM) and 8l (IC50 = 0.30 ± 0.03 μM). Similarly, compound 8k (IC50 = 0.16 ± 0.01 μM) was found to be a selective h-NTPDase2 inhibitor. In case of h-NTPDase3, most potent inhibitors were compounds 8c (IC50 = 0.19 ± 0.02 μM) and 8m (IC50 = 0.38 ± 0.03 μM). Since NTPDase3 has been reported to be associated with the regulation of insulin secretion, we evaluated our synthesized NTPDase3 inhibitors for their ability to stimulate insulin secretion in isolated mice islets. Promising results were obtained showing that compound 8m potently stimulated insulin secretion without affecting the NTPDase3 gene expression. Molecular docking studies of the most potent compounds were also carried out to rationalize binding site interactions. Hence, these compounds are useful tools to study the role of NTPDase3 in insulin secretion.

Potent and safe anticancer drugs research and development are still on the way to human health. In this report, a series of novel thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing indole fragment were designed and synthesized. Most compounds exhibited excellent antiproliferative activity against PC3, MGC803 and EC109 cell lines with low micromolar IC50 (0.14–12μM). Especially, compound 5j can selectively inhibit PC3 cells in three tested tumor cells with IC50 value of 0.14 μM, which may be attributed to a synergistic effect after introducing indole fragment into the TSC structure. Meanwhile, compound 5j displayed more selectivity in PC3 cells toward two normal WPMY-1 and GES-1 cell lines, compared to those of 3-AP and DPC. We also found that 5j can effectively inhibit PC3 cell proliferation, colonization and induce apoptosis. What's more, 5j may significantly suppress migration and invasion by blocking the EMT process but had no effect on cell cycle. Collectively, our findings indicate that 5j with structure of thiosemicarbazone containing indole may serve as a useful anticancer lead for further optimization and development.

Background: Breast cancer, the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women, accounts for the highest cancer-related deaths worldwide. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), lacking the expression of estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptors, has an aggressive clinical phenotype and is susceptible to chemotherapy but not to hormonal or targeted immunotherapy. In an attempt to identify potent and selective anti-TNBC agents, a set of thiosemicarbazone derivatives were screened for their cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cell line. Methods: MTT assay was used to examine cell viability. P53 phosphorylation status, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage as well as Bcl2 and Bax protein levels were assessed by Western blot. Quantitative Real Time-PCR was carried out to characterize miRNAs expression levels. Results: Combining Cisplatin + thiosemicarbazone compound 4 showed potent anti-TNBC potential. Cisplatin + compound 4 significantly enhanced p53 phosphorylation, induced Bax amount, reduced Bcl2 protein levels, enhanced PARP cleavage and modulated miRNAs expression profile in TNBCs, with a particular overexpression of miR-125a-5p and miR-181a-5p. Intriguingly, miR-125a-5p and miR-181a-5p could significantly downregulate BCL2 expression by binding to their target sites in the 3′UTR. Conclusions: Collectively, our results demonstrate an anti-TNBC activity of Cisplatin + thiosemicarbazone compound 4 combination mediated via induction of apoptosis.
