Tacrine is a known Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors having hepatotoxicity as main liability associated with it. The present study aims to reduce its hepatotoxicity by synthesizing tacrine linked triazole glycoconjugates via Huisgen's [3 + 2] cycloaddition of anomeric azides and terminal acetylenes derived from tacrine. A series of triazole based glycoconjugates containing both acetylated (A-1 to A-7) and free sugar hydroxyl groups (A-8 to A-14) at the amino position of tacrine were synthesized in good yield taking aid from molecular docking studies and evaluated for their in vitro AChE inhibition activity as well as hepatotoxicity. All the hybrids were found to be non-toxic on HePG2 cell line at 200 μM (100 % cell viability) as compared to tacrine (35 % cell viability) after 24 h of incubation period. Enzyme kinetic studies carried out for one of the potent hybrids in the series A-1 (IC50 0.4 μM) revealed its mixed inhibition approach. Thus, compound A-1 can be used as principle template to further explore the mechanism of action of different targets involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) which stands as an adequate chemical probe to be launched in an AD drug discovery program.

Glycodendrimers are receiving considerable attention to mimic a number of imperative features of cell surface glycoconjugate and acquired excellent relevance to a wide domain of investigations including medicine, pharmaceutics, catalysis, nanotechnology, carbohydrate-protein interaction, and moreover in drug delivery systems. Toward this end, an expeditious, modular, and regioselective triazole-forming CuAAC click approach along with double stage convergent synthetic method was chosen to develop a variety of novel chlorine-containing cyclen cored glycodendrimers of high sugar tethers at low generation of promising therapeutic potential. We developed a novel chlorine-containing hypercore unit with 12 alkynyl functionality originated from cyclen scaffold which was confirmed by its single crystal X-ray data analysis. Further, the modular CuAAC technique was utilized to produce a variety of novel 12–sugar coated (G0) glycodendrimers 12-15 adorn with β-Glc-, β-Man-, β-Gal-, β-Lac, along with 36-galactose coated (G1) glycodendrimer 18 in good-to-high yield. The structures of the developed glycodendrimer architectures have been well elucidated by extensive spectral analysis including NMR (1H & 13CNMR), HRMS, MALDI-TOF MS, UV–Vis, IR, and SEC (Size Exclusion Chromatogram) data.

One antitumor β-elemene derivative W-105 and three novel hepatocyte-targeting prodrugs (W-1-5, W-2-9, and W-3-8) were designed and synthesized. W-105 (IC50 6.107 μM) could cause cell apoptosis through upregulating the activity of caspase-3. The hepatocyte-targeting capacities of the aimed compounds followed the W-105 (parent compound) W-1-5 (monodentate-galactose) W-2-9 (bidentate-galactose) W-3-8 (tridentate-galactose) order, which is attributed to the excellent affinity of the galactose ligand to ASGPR and the galactose-cluster recognition effect. Furthermore, prodrugs W-3-8 exhibited good antitumor activity and low toxic side effects. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) assays revealed that prodrugs (W-1-5, W-2-9, and W-3-8) could release the antitumor pharmacophore in the presence of GSH (mimic the condition of the tumor cell) and maintain the low-toxic structures in the absence of GSH (mimic the condition of the normal cell). The release mechanisms of prodrugs were also proposed. Overall, these prodrugs developed in this study had potential in the treatment of liver cancer.

Shiga toxin is an AB5 toxin produced by Shigella species, while related toxins are produced by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Infection by Shigella can lead to bloody diarrhea followed by the often fatal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). In the present paper, we aimed for a simple and effective toxin inhibitor by comparing three classes of carbohydrate-based inhibitors: glycodendrimers, glycopolymers, and oligosaccharides. We observed a clear enhancement in potency for multivalent inhibitors, with the divalent and tetravalent compounds inhibiting in the millimolar and micromolar range, respectively. However, the polymeric inhibitor based on galabiose was the most potent in the series exhibiting nanomolar inhibition. Alginate and chitosan oligosaccharides also inhibit Shiga toxin and may be used as a prophylactic drug during shigella outbreaks.

In over eighty years, despite successive antibiotics discoveries, the rapid advent of multidrug resistance among bacterial pathogens has jolted our misapprehension of success over them. Resistance is spreading faster than the discovery of new antibiotics/antimicrobials. Therefore, the search for better antimicrobials/additives becomes prudent. A water-soluble curcumin derivative (Curaq) was synthesised, employing a Cu (I) catalysed 1, 3-cyclo addition reaction; it has been evaluated as a potential treatment for multidrug-resistant isolates and as an antibiotic adjuvant for meropenem against hypervirulent multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. We also investigated its solubility and effect over carbapenemase activity. Additionally, we investigated its impact on the AcrAB-TolC system. We found that Curaq inhibited bacterial growth at a minimal concentration of 16 ug/mL; at a 32 ug/mL concentration, it killed bacterial growth completely. Only nine (9.4%) Klebsiella isolates were sensitive to meropenem; however, after synergising with Curaq (8 ug/mL), 85 (88.54%) hvKP isolates became sensitive to the drug. The Curaq also inhibited the AcrAB-TolC efflux system at 1 ug/mL concentration by disrupting the membrane potential and causing depolarisation. The kinetic parameters obtained also indicated its promise as a carbapenemase inhibitor. These results suggest that Curaq can be an excellent drug candidate as a broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-efflux agent.

The synthesis of new glycoconjugated phthalonitrile connected with galactose moiety by triazole spacer via Cu(II)-mediated click reaction is reported. Reaction of azido derivatives of. β-D-galactopyranose tetraacetate with 4-O-propargyloxy-substituted phthalonitrile in presence copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate and sodium L-ascorbate in tert-butanol/water gave desired glycophthalonitrile with 79% yield. Obtained phthalonitrile underwent mixed-cyclisation with the 4-tert-butyl-substituted phthalonitrile, to afford the mono-glycosylated platinum(II) phthalocyanine. Upon irradiation these compounds could sensitise the formation of singlet oxygen in acetone, with 0.90 quantum yield by method with use of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as scavenger.

Several glycoconjugates of the diterpenoid isosteviol (16-oxo-ent-beyeran-19-oic acid) with a 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety were synthesized, and their cytotoxicity was evaluated against some human cancer and normal cell lines. Most of the synthesized compounds demonstrated weak inhibitory activities against the M-HeLa and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines. Three lead compounds, 54, 56 and 57, exhibited high selective cytotoxic activity against M-HeLa cells (IC50 = 1.7-1.9 μM) that corresponded to the activity of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 3.0 μM). Moreover, the lead compounds were not cytotoxic with respect to a Chang liver human normal cell line (IC50 > 100 μM), whereas doxorubicin was cytotoxic to this cell line (IC50 = 3.0 μM). It was found that cytotoxic activity of the lead compounds is due to induction of apoptosis proceeding along the mitochondrial pathway. The present findings suggest that 1,2,3-triazolyl-ring-containing glycoconjugates of isosteviol are a promising scaffold for the design of novel anticancer agents.
