Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of Helicobacter pylori inosine 5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (HpIMPDH) inhibitors

Inosine 5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) catalyzes a crucial step in the biosynthesis of guanine nucleotides. Being a validated target for immunosuppressive, antiviral, and anticancer drug development, lately it has been exploited as a promising target for antimicrobial therapy. Extending our previous work on Mycobacterium tuberculosis IMPDH, GuaB2, inhibitor development, we screened a set of 23 new chemical entities (NCEs) with substituted flavone (Series 1) and 1,2,3-triazole (Series 2) core structures for their in vitro Helicobacter pylori IMPDH (HpIMPDH) and human IMPDH2 (hIMPDH2) inhibitory activities. All the NCEs possessed acceptable molecular, physicochemical, and toxicity property profiles. The ranges for HpIMPDH and hIMPDH2 inhibition were 9–99.9% and 16–57%, respectively, at 10 μM concentration. The most potent HpIMPDH inhibitor, 25c, exhibited IC50 value of 1.27 μM with no hIMPDH2 inhibitory activity. The moderately potent, structurally novel hit molecule, 25c, may serve as a lead for further design and development of highly potent HpIMPDH inhibitors.

Synthesis and effects on cell viability of flavonols and 3-methyl ether derivatives on human leukemia cells

Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds which display an array of biological activities and are considered potential antitumor agents. Here we evaluated the antiproliferative activity of selected synthetic flavonoids against human leukemia cell lines. We found that 4′-bromoflavonol (flavonol 3) was the most potent. This compound inhibited proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, induced apoptosis and blocked cell cycle progression at the S phase. Cell death was found to be associated with the cleavage and activation of multiple caspases, the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and the up-regulation of two death receptors (death receptor 4 and death receptor 5) for tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. Moreover, combined treatments using 4′-bromoflavonol and TRAIL led to an increased cytotoxicity compared to single treatments. These results provide a basis for further exploring the potential applications of this combination for the treatment of cancer.

An expeditious synthesis of flavonols promoted by montmorillonite KSF clay and assisted by microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions

A simple, efficient, rapid, and ecofriendly synthesis of flavonols in >90% yield from 2′-(mesyloxy)epoxychalcones (=2-(3-aryl-2,3- epoxypropanoyl)phenyl methanesulfonates) promoted by montmorillonite KSF clay and assisted by microwave irradiation has been described. Copyright

Structure-Activity relationships of targeted RuII(η 6- P -Cymene) anticancer complexes with flavonol-Derived ligands

RuII(arene) complexes have been shown to be promising anticancer agents, capable of overcoming major drawbacks of currently used chemotherapeutics. We have synthesized RuII(η6-arene) compounds carrying bioactive flavonol ligands with the aim to obtain multitargeted anticancer agents. To validate this concept, studies on the mode of action of the complexes were conducted which indicated that they form covalent bonds to DNA, have only minor impact on the cell cycle, but inhibit CDK2 and topoisomerase IIα in vitro. The cytotoxic activity was determined in human cancer cell lines, resulting in very low IC50 values as compared to other RuII(arene) complexes and showing a structure-activity relationship dependent on the substitution pattern of the flavonol ligand. Furthermore, the inhibition of cell growth correlates well with the topoisomerase inhibitory activity. Compared to the flavonol ligands, the RuII(η6-p-cymene) complexes are more potent antiproliferative agents, which can be explained by potential multitargeted properties.
