A series of novel 1-(substituted-phenyl)-3-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)-9H-β-carboline (8a-8i) and 1-(substituted-phenyl)-3-(5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-2-yl)-9H-β-carboline (9a-9h) derivatives, as well as their respective N-(chloroalkyl)-1-(substituted-phenyl)-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxamide precursors (6a-6i and 7a-7h), were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antileishmanial activity against promastigote and intracellular amastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis. Compounds 8d, 8i, 9e and 9h exhibited significant activity for both promastigote and amastigote forms, with IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) values ranging from 2.9 to 23.0 μM. In addition, spin label electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy studies were carried out for the most active compounds against L. amazonensis promastigotes. The studies indicated that the tested compounds cause strong stiffness in the parasite plasma membrane and are capable of inducing internal metalloproteins oxidation of the parasite, resulting in their cross-linking to skeletal proteins. Compounds 8d and 8i produced the largest effect, showing that the presence of oxazoline group at C-3 of β-carboline nucleus is important for antileishmanial activity.

A series of novel hybrids β-carboline-4-thiazolidinones were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antitumor activity against human cancer cell lines and for antiviral activity towards Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1). From the N′-(2-ylidene-4-thiazolidinone)-β-carboline-3-carbohydrazide series (9–11), compounds 9c and 11d were the most active, showing growth inhibition 50% (GI50) values less than 5 μM for all cell lines tested. Compound 9c, bearing the 4-dimethylaminophenyl group at C-1 of β-carboline was selected for further investigation concerning cell death and cell cycle profile, focusing on the human renal adenocarcinoma cell line 786-0. Treatments with 25 μM of compound 9c induced cell death after 15 h of treatment, characterized by phosphatidylserine exposure and loss of membrane integrity. Moreover, treatment with 12.5 μM promoted a sub-G1 arrest, which indicates cell death. Derivatives of the N-(2-substituted-aryl-4-thiazolidinone)-β-carboline-3-carboxamide series (18–23) showed a potent activity and high selectivity for glioma (U251) and ovarian (OVCAR-3) cancer cell lines. Also, some β-carboline-4-thiazolidinone hybrids showed potent antiviral activity against Herpes simplex virus type-1. The N-(2-substituted-aryl-4-thiazolidinone)-carboxamide moiety in 18, 19 and 22 confer a potent anti-HSV-1 activity for these derivatives, which presented EC50values of 0.80, 2.15 and 2.02 μM, respectively. The assay results showed that the nature of 4-thiazolidinone moiety and of the substituent attached at the 3- and 1- position of β-carboline nucleus influenced the antitumor and antiviral activities.

Substituted 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (β-carbolines) identified in our laboratory as potential pharmacophore for designing macrofilaricidal agents, have been explored further for identifying the pharmacophore responsible for high order of adulticidal activity. This has led to syntheses and macrofilaricidal evaluations of a number of 1-aryl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylate derivatives (3-7). The macrofilarical activity was initially evaluated in vivo against Acanthoeilonema viteae. Amongst all the synthesized compounds, only twelve compounds namely 3a, 3c, 3d, 3f, 4c, 4d, 4f, 5a, 6f, 6h, 6i and 7h have exhibited either >90% micro- or macrofilaricidal activity or sterilization of female worms. These compounds have also been screened against Litomosoides carinii and of these only 3f and 5a have also been found to be active. Finally these two compounds have been evaluated against Brugia malayi. The structure activity relationship (SAR) associated with position-1 and 3 substituents in β-carbolines have been discussed. It has been observed that the presence of carbomethoxy at position-3 and an aryl substituent at position-1 in β-carbolines effectively enhance antifilarial activity particularly against A. viteae. Amongst the various compounds screened, methyl 1-(4-methylphenyl)-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylate (4c) has shown highest adulticidal activity and methyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylate (3a) has shown highest microfilaricidal action against A. viteae at 50mg/kgx5 days (ip). Another derivative of this compound namely 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (5a) exhibited highest activity against L. carinii at 30mg/kgx5 days (ip) and against B. malayi at 50mg/kgx5 days (ip) or at 200mg/kgx5 days (po).
