A chalcone series (3a–f) with electron push–pull effect was synthesized via a one-pot Claisen–Schmidt reaction with a simple purification step. The compounds exhibited strong emission, peaking around 512–567 nm with mega-stokes shift (?λ = 93–139 nm) in p

One of the many methods of treating cancer is to terminate the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. So, aiming the apoptotic pathway is an exciting approach to finding new anticancer agents. A novel series of cyanopyridines was designed and synthesized for antiproliferative evaluation. 2-Amino-6-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-4-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl) nicotinonitrile 10f was the most potent inhibitor against the growth of PC-3, and HepG-2 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 2.04 uM (selectivity index, SI = 78.63, 43, respectively). Also, 10f was safe against the growth of normal human diploid lung fibroblasts cell line (WI-38) with an IC50 value of 160.04 uM. Its analogs, 10b, 10d, 10g, and 11b, were also active against the growth of PC-3, and HepG-2 while against MCF-7 cell line, they displayed good cytotoxic activity compared to the reference standard 5-FU. Remarkably, mechanistic studies indicated that compounds 10b, 10d, 10f, 10g, and 11b stimulated the level of active caspase 3 and boosted the BAX/BCL2 ratio 20–95 folds in comparison to the control. Our results have also indicated that 10b, 10d, 10f, 10g, and 11b exhibited a very potent inhibitory activity against PIM-1 kinase enzyme, where the IC50 values unraveled very potent molecules in the micromolar range (0.47–1.27 μM). Further investigations have shown that 10f, the most potent PIM-1 kinase inhibitor, induced a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Moreover, in silico evaluation of ADME properties indicated that all the cyanopyridine compounds are orally bioavailable with no permeation to the blood brain barrier.

Background: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complicated neurodegenerative disorder with a multifaceted pathogenesis.AD, characterized by gradual memory loss, falling in language ability and other cognitive deterioration, and has been a prominent risk to ageing population. This means that there is an urgent need to find new lead compounds for controlling and fighting against (AD). In this way, a new thiophene-2-pyrazoline derivatives (A1-A5) and benzothiazole derivatives (A6-A13) have been synthesized to give beneficial compounds to controlling and battling against (AD). Results: Compounds A5 and A13 showed the most remarkable activity with an 18.53 μM and 15.26 μM IC50 values against AChE enzyme. In like manner, compound A4 was active with a 20.34 μM IC50 value against MAO-A. These active compounds are in fact non-toxic making them very attractive for additional future studies. Enzyme kinetic was analyzed and the Lineweaver-Burk plot reveals that compound A13 was typically mixed AChE inhibitors, which showed significant similarity to donepezil. In addition, the best docking pose was done by analyzing the docking pattern of the most active compound A13 which was very compatible with the gorge and in interaction with both CAS and PAS. Conclusion: The synthesis of new thiophene-2-pyrazoline and benzothiazole derivatives targeting AChE/(MAO-A)/(MAO-B) enzymes was described. The selection of enzyme-kinetic analysis, molecular docking and toxicity test was led to good understanding to the therapeutic potential for the active derivatives. Therefore, these compounds may be accepted as promising leads for future research efforts in fighting against AD.
