Schistosomiasis is caused by a trematode of the genus Schistosoma and affects over 200 million people worldwide. The only drug recommended by the World Health Organization for treatment and control of schistosomiasis is praziquantel. Development of new drugs is therefore of great importance. Thiazoles are regarded as privileged structures with a broad spectrum of activities and are potential sources of new drug prototypes, since they can act through interactions with DNA and inhibition of DNA synthesis. In this context, we report the synthesis of a series of thiazole derivatives and their in vitro schistosomicidal activity by testing eight molecules (NJ03-08; NJ11-12) containing thiazole structures. Parameters such as motility and mortality, egg laying, pairing and parasite viability by ATP quantification, which were influenced by these compounds, were evaluated during the assays. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized for evaluation of morphological changes in the tegument. Schistosomula and adult worms were treated in vitro with different concentrations (6.25 to 50 μM) of the thiazoles for up to 5 and 3 days, respectively. After in vitro treatment for five days with 6.25 μM NJ05 or NJ07 separately, we observed a decrease of 30percent in schistosomula viability, whilst treatment with NJ05+NJ07 lead to a reduction of 75percent in viability measured by ATP quantitation and propidium iodide labeling. Adult worms’ treatment with 50 μM NJ05, NJ07 or NJ05 + NJ07 showed decreased motility to 30–50percent compared with controls. Compound NJ05 was more effective than NJ07, and adult worm viability after three days was reduced to 25percent in parasites treated with 50 μM NJ05, compared with a viability reduction to 40percent with 50 μM NJ07. SEM analysis showed severe alterations in adult worms with formation of bulges and blisters throughout the dorsal region of parasites treated with NJ05 or NJ07. Oviposition was extremely affected by treatment with the NJ series compounds; at concentrations of 25 μM and 50 μM, oviposition reached almost zero with NJ05, NJ07 or NJ05 + NJ07 already at day one. Tested genes involved in egg biosynthesis were all confirmed by qPCR as downregulated in females treated with 25 μM NJ05 for 2 days, with a significant reduction in expression of p14, Tyrosinase 2, p48 and fs800. NJ05, NJ07 or NJ05 +NJ07 treatment of HEK293 (human embryonic cell line) and HES (human epithelial cell line) showed EC50 in the range of 18.42 to 145.20 μM. Overall, our results demonstrate that those molecules are suitable targets for further development into new drugs for schistosomiasis treatment, although progress is needed to lessen the cytotoxic effects on human cells. According to the present study, thiazole derivatives have schistosomicidal activities and may be part of a possible new arsenal of compounds against schistosomiasis.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause peptic lesions in the gastrointestinal mucosa by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) enzyme. Selective COX-2 inhibition causes decreased side effects over current NSAIDs. Therefore, the studies about selective inhibition of COX-2 enzyme are very important for new drug development. The design, synthesis and biological activity evaluation of novel derivatives bearing thiazolylhydrazine-methyl sulfonyl moiety as selective COX-2 inhibitors were aimed in this paper. The structures of synthesized compounds were assigned using different spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. In addition, the estimation of ADME parameters for all compounds was carried out using in silico process. The evaluation of in vitro COX-1/COX-2 enzyme inhibition was applied according to the fluorometric method. According to the enzyme inhibition results, synthesized compounds showed the selectivity against COX-2 enzyme inhibition as expected. Compounds 3a, 3e, 3f, 3g, 3i and 3j demonstrated significant COX-2 inhibition potencies. Among them, compound 3a was found to be the most effective derivative with an IC50 value of 0.140 ± 0.006 μM. Moreover, it was seen that compound 3a displayed a more potent inhibition profile at least 12-fold than nimesulide (IC50 = 1.684 ± 0.079 μM), while it showed inhibitory activity at a similar rate of celecoxib (IC50 = 0.132 ± 0.005 μM). Molecular modelling studies aided in the understanding of the interaction modes between this compound and COX-2 enzyme. It was found that compound 3a had a significant binding property. In addition, the selectivity of obtained derivatives on COX-2 enzyme could be explained and discussed by molecular docking studies.

Background: Recently, researchers have been warning about the increased mortality of the various cancer types. Also, the lung adenocarcinoma and the glioma types are burning issues for world's health due to late or wrong diagnosis and/or insufficient treatment methods. For this purpose, our research group designed and synthesized novel 4,5-dimethyl thiazole-hydrazone derivatives which were tested against cancer and normal cell lines to understand the structure-activity relationship (SAR). Methods: The lead compounds were obtained by reacting 2-(substituted aryl-2-ylmethylene) hydrazin-1-carbothioamide with 3-chloro-2-butanone derivatives. The structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by1H-NMR,13C-NMR, and LC/MS-IT-TOF spectral and elemental analyses. The synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for the anticancer activity against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma and C6 rat glioma cells and investigated for which pathway to induce cell death. Also, the docking study of the active compounds was achieved to understand the SAR. Results: The targeted compounds (2a-2l) were synthesized successfully above 70% yields, and the analysis findings proved their purity. In general, the results of activity studies displayed significant effects against at least one cell line, except compounds 2e (indol-3-yl) and 2h (4-dimethylaminophenyl). Furthermore, compounds 2b and 2f displayed potential anticancer activity. With the help of molecular docking study, a potential selectivity of compound 2f was observed for type II protein kinase. On the other hand, compound 2b interacted with the active site nearly the same as Dasatinib. Therefore, these two compounds could be used as a base on developing selective anticancer drugs. Conclusion: Pyridin-2-yl (2b) derivative was found to be a favorable molecule with high anticancer potency against C6 and A549 cell lines. Additionally, 1-naphthyl (2f) derivative was a worthy compound for potential selectivity. In future studies, it will be our priority to focus on developing derivatives of these two compounds (2b and 2f) and elucidate their mechanisms.

Abstract: Synthesis of a novel series of hydrazine clubbed 1,3-thiazoles (5a–m) has been described by reacting hydrazine-1-carbothioamides (3a–k) with α-chloro- or bromo-acetophenones (4a–d) in refluxing ethanol in good to excellent yields (65–86%). Structural confirmation was based upon spectroscopic techniques such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR and mass spectrometry. The biological application of these motifs has been demonstrated in terms of their strong urease inhibition activity. The results of in vitro study revealed that all the compounds are the potent inhibitors of urease. The IC50 (ranging in between 110 and 440?nM) values were higher as compared to that of standard, i.e., thiourea (IC50 = 490 ± 10?nM). The synthesized compounds were docked at the active sites of the Jack bean urease enzyme in order to explore the possible binding interactions of enzyme–ligand complexes; the results reinforced the in vitro biological activity results.

Aryl hydrazones bearing thiazolyl coumarin hybrids 1–32 were prepared by following 'one-pot' two-steps reaction scheme. Various arylaldehydes were reacted to thiosemicarbazide under acidic condition to form aryl thiosemicarbazone intermediates which in turn treated with 3-bromoacetyl coumarin under basic condition to afford thiazolyl coumarin hybrids 1–32. All hybrids were recognized by EI- and HREI-MS and 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 1–32 were screened for in vitro inhibitory activity against urease enzyme and displayed good to moderate inhibitory potential in the ranges of IC50 = 16.29 ± 1.1–256.30 ± 1.4?μM. Worth stating that compound 21 (IC50 = 16.29 ± 1.1?μM) was identified as more potent urease inhibitor than the standard acetohydroxamic acid (IC50 = 27.0 ± 0.5?μM). Derivatives 19 (IC50 = 77.67 ± 1.5?μM) and 30 (IC50 = 71.21 ± 1.6?μM) were found to be moderately active. Structure–activity relationship revealed that -F, -Cl, -OH, and -OMe groups and their respective positions on aryl ring are playing important role in urease enzyme inhibition. Molecular docking studies identified important interaction between the ligand (active hybrids) and urease active site.

Heterocyclic rings such as thiazole and benzimidazole are considered as privileged structures, since they constitute several FDA-approved drugs for cancer treatment. In this work, a new set of 2-(2-(substituted) hydrazinyl)-4-(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) thiazoles 4a-q were designed as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors and synthesized using concise synthetic methods. The new target compounds have been evaluated in vitro for their suppression activity against EGFR TK. Compounds 4n, 4h, 4i, 4a and 4d exhibited significant potency in comparison with erlotinib which served as a reference drug (IC50, 71.67–152.59 nM; IC50 erlotinib, 152.59 nM). Furthermore, MTT assay revealed that compounds 4j, 4a, 4f, 4h, 4n produced the most promising cytotoxic potency against the human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) (IC50; 5.96–11.91 μM; IC50 erlotinib; 4.15 μM). Compound 4a showed promising activity as EGFR TK inhibitor as well as anti-breast cancer agent. In addition, 4a induced apoptotic effect and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase preventing the mitotic cycle in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, 4a upregulated the oncogenic parameters; caspase-3, p53, Bax/Bcl-2 as well as it inhibited the level of PARP-1 enzyme. QSAR study was carried out for the new derivatives and it revealed the goodness of the models. Furthermore, molecular docking studies represented the binding modes of the promising compounds in the active pocket of EGFR.

Dementia is a neurological condition commonly correlated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and it is seen with many other central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The restricted number of medications is not appropriate to offer enough relief to enhance the quality of life of patients suffering from this symptom; thus, all therapeutic choices should be carefully assessed. In this study, new thiazolylhydrazone derivatives (2a–2l) were designed and synthesized based on the cholinergic hypothesis. Their chemical structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS spectrometric techniques. The ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination) parameters of the synthesized compounds were predicted by using QikProp 4.8 software. It was concluded that all compounds presented satisfactory drug-like characteristics. Furthermore, their inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in vitro were also tested by modified the Ellman spectrophotometric method. According to the results, all compounds showed a weak inhibitory effect on BChE. On the other hand, most of the compounds (2a, 2b, 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i, and 2j) had a certain AChE inhibitory activity, and the IC50 values of them were calculated as 0.063 ± 0.003, 0.056 ± 0.002, 0.147 ± 0.006, 0.040 ± 0.001, 0.031 ± 0.001, 0.028 ± 0.001, and 0.138 ± 0.005 μM, respectively. Among these derivatives, compound 2i was found to be the most active agent in the series with an IC50 value of 0.028 ± 0.001 μM, which indicated an inhibition profile at a similar rate as the reference drug, donepezil. The potential binding modes of compounds 2a, 2b, 2e, 2g, and 2i with AChE were investigated and compared with each other by the molecular docking studies. The results showed that these compounds were strongly bound up with the AChE enzyme active site with the optimal conformations.
