In Vitro Antitumor Activity of Newly Synthesized Pyridazin-3(2H)-One Derivatives via Apoptosis Induction

Systemic toxicity associated with drug resistance continues to be the major obstacle to curative therapy of cancer. Tumor cell resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs often results in coordinate resistance to other structurally and functionally unrelated drugs and the subsequent development of cross resistance phenotype. Therefore, it seems necessary to identify new molecules as anticancer agents. In this process, we synthesized a series of new pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives and evaluated their antitumor potential. These cyclic molecules were synthesized and designed as a combination of benzofuran with pyridazinones. All final compounds have been characterized by spectral and elemental analyses to confirm successful synthesis reactions. To evaluate their anticancer activity, all derivatives were assessed against the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) and the murine mastocytoma cell line (P815) using the methyl tetrazolium Test (MTT assay). The cytotoxic activity was found to be dose-dependent and the IC50 values of the synthesized compounds ranged from 14.5 to 40 μM against MCF-7 and from 35 to 82.5 μM against P815. At the same time, no cytotoxic activity was observed against normal cells. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of the most cytotoxic product (6f), apoptosis induction was measured against MCF-7 cells. Using the annexin-V FITC staining technique, we showed that the cytotoxic effect of this product is associated with apoptosis induction.

Synthesis, anti-inflammatory evaluation in vivo and docking studies of some new 5-(benzo[b]furan-2-ylmethyl)-6-methyl-pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives

Seven novel 5-(benzo[b]furan-2-ylmethyl)-6-methyl-pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives (6a to 6g) have been synthesized by the condensation of appropriate 3-(benzofuran-2-ylmethylene)-4-oxopentanoic acid and hydrazine hydrate in ethanol. Structures of all compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. These compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. In silico molecular docking study has been executed to study the binding interactions of the synthesized compounds with COX-2 protein. Compounds 6a, 6b, 6e and 6g showed a good anti-inflammatory activity at 50 mg/kg compared with the indometacin at 10 mg/kg and the aspirin at 150 mg/kg and good binding affinity with COX-2.

Synthesis and antidepressant activity of 5-(benzo[b]furan-2-ylmethyl)-6-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives

A new series of pyridazin-3-one derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their preclinical antidepressant effect on Swiss mice. Among the series, compounds 6c, 6d and 6f exhibited significant activity profile in forced swimming test. Compounds 6c and 6d were most efficacious, which at dose of 50 mg kg-1 reduced the time of immobility by 42.85 and 38.09 %, respectively, as compared to the standard drug fluoxetine which reduced the immobility time by 45.23 % at the dose of 32 mg kg-1. All the test and standard compounds were administered orally 60 min before the test. Interestingly, all active compounds did not cause any significant alteration of locomotor activity in mice as compared to control, indicating that the hybrids did not produce any motor impairment effects. The results indicate that pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives may have potential therapeutic value for the management of mental depression.

3-Benzo[b]furyl- and 3-benzo[b]thienylaminobutyric acids as GABA(B) ligands. Synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies

Baclofen (β-p-chlorophenyl GABA) is one of the selective agonists for the bicuculline-insensitive GABA(B) receptors. In the search for new compounds that bind to GABA(B) receptors it is very important to clarify the structural requirements. We report the syntheses of and binding studies on various 3- heteroaromatic (benzo[b]furan and benzo[b]thiophen)aminobutyric acids. The 4- amino-3-(7-methyl-benzo[b]furan-2-yl)butanoic acid 8g is a potent and specific ligand for GABA(B) receptors, with an IC50 value of 5.4 μM in the displacement of [3H]GABA.
