On the basis of our earlier work, fortyone 5-N-substituted-2N-(substituted benzenesulphonyl)-L(+)glutamines were synthesized and screened for cancer cell inhibitory activity. The best active compounds showed 91% tumor cell inhibition, whereas other three compounds showed more than 80% inhibition. Two-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship modeling and three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship k-nearest neighbor molecular field analysis studies were done to get an insight into structural requirements toward further improved anticancer activity. Considering the fact that these compounds are competitive inhibitors of glutaminase, a molecular docking study followed by molecular dynamic simulation analysis were performed. The work may help to develop new anticancer agents.

Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCP2) is a membrane-bound cell-surface peptidase which is implicated in several neurological disorders and is also over-expressed in prostate tumor cells. There is a significant interest in the inhibition of GCP2 as a means of neuroprotection, while GCP2 inhibition as a method to treat prostate cancer remains a topic of further investigation. The key zinc-binding functional group of the well-characterized classes of GCP2 inhibitors (phosphonates and phosphoramidates) is tetrahedral and negatively charged at neutral pH, while glutamyl urea class of inhibitors possesses a planar and neutral zinc-binding group. This study introduces a new class of GCP2 inhibitors, N-substituted glutamyl sulfonamides, which possess a neutral tetrahedral zinc-binding motif. A library containing 15 secondary sulfonamides and 4 tertiary (N-methyl) sulfonamides was prepared and evaluated for inhibitory potency against purified GCP2 enzyme activity. While most inhibitors lacked potency at 100μm, short alkyl sulfonamides exhibited promising low micromolar potency, with the optimal inhibitor in this series being glutamyl N-(propylsulfonamide) (2g). Lastly, molecular docking was used to develop a model to formulate an explanation for the relative inhibitory potencies employed for this class of inhibitors. A small library of glutamyl sulfonamides was prepared and evaluated for in vitro potency against glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCP2). Short alkyl sulfonamide inhibitors were the most potent, demonstrating low micromolar IC50 values.

We have reported [unpublished data] the synthesis and QSAR of 5-substituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamines which have shown the importance of steric factor on the aliphatic chain. N-Phthalyl isoglutamine, having the substitution at position 1 of the glutamic acid moiety, is the metabolite of recently approved thalidomide for different types of tumors by US FDA. Based on these, 36 new 1,5-N,N′-disubstituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamamides were synthesized, as tools for further elucidation of the structural requirements for antitumor activity. All the synthesized compounds were tested for antitumor activity against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice using tumor weight as inhibitory parameter. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies of these analogues revealed that the electron donating groups on the phenyl ring are found to be mandatory for the activity which was also proved by the negative coefficient of indicator parameter I3, for NO2 group on the phenyl ring. Molecular volume (MV) and steric factor at R5 position also plays a role in ligand-receptor interactions.

We described the syntheses, biological activities and QSAR studies of 36 new 5-n-substituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamines 6-41 with different substitutions. These compounds were designed as structural analogues of most reactive amino acid, 'glutamine' (GLN), especially in the tumor cells. They present the new basic lateral chains at R5 position as well as different substitutions at 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ positions on the benzene ring. The synthesized compounds have been tested for antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice using percentage inhibition of tumor weight as inhibitory parameter. In order to elucidate the structural requirements for antitumor activity, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies have been performed using extra thermodynamic model of Hansch. QSAR equations showed that the electronic parameter (σ) on the aromatic ring system, steric parameter (Es) and to some extent Sterimol length of the substituent (L) on the aliphatic side chain correlate significantly with the antitumor activity. Resonance factor occupies the major electronic contribution on the aromatic ring system to the activity.

The complexing behaviour of seventeen amino acid derivatives towards Cu(II) has been studied.Complexes of the types Cu(RH)*xH2O, Cu(RH).Cu(OH)2*xH2O and Cu(R'H)2*yH2O have been prepared and characterized by IR, ESR, electronic spectral, magnetic moment and analytical data.On the basis of differences and direction of the shifts in the IR frequencies of vas OCO and vs OCO modes and ESR spectra, bonding modes of carboxylate group have been established.Biological activitu of complexes is more than that of the free metal ion and the ligands.

A few N,N'-dialkyl-2-(p-substituted benzenesulphonamido)glutaramides have been evaluated against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice using live cell count and tumor weight as activity parameters.Effect of the most potent member, N,N'-di-n-butyl-2-(p-toluenesulphonamido)glutaramide (II), on the DNA and RNA contents of EAC cells has been studied.Although the DNA content remains almost unaffected, the RNA content is decreased to some extent.
