Thirty-eight disulfides containing N-arylacetamide were designed and synthesized in an effort to develop novel urease inhibitors. Biological evaluation revealed that some of the synthetic compounds exhibited strong inhibitory potency against both cell-free urease and urease in intact cell with low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells even at concentration up to 250 μM. Of note, 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(2-fluorophenyl)acetamide) (d7), 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(3,5-difluorophenyl)acetamide) (d24), and 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(3-fluorophenyl)acetamide) (d8) were here identified as the most active inhibitors with IC50 of 0.074, 0.44, and 0.81 μM, showing 32- to 355-fold higher potency than the positive control acetohydroxamic acid. These disulfides were confirmed to bind urease without covalent modification of the cysteine residue and to inhibit urease reversibly with a mixed inhibition mechanism. They also showed very good anti-Helicobacter pylori activities with d8 showing a comparable potency to the clinical used drug amoxicillin. The impressive in vitro biological profile indicated their immense potential as therapeutic agents to tackle H. pylori caused infections.

A library of novel naproxen based 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (8–16 and 19–26) has been synthesized and screened for cytotoxicity as EGFR inhibitors. Among the synthesized hy-brids, compound2-(4-((5-((S)-1-(2-methoxynaphthalen-6-yl)ethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenol(15) was the most potent compound against MCF-7 and HepG2cancer cells with IC50 of 2.13 and 1.63 μg/mL, respectively, and was equipotent to doxorubicin (IC50 1.62 μg/mL) towards HepG2. Furthermore, compound 15 inhibited EGFR kinase with IC50 0.41 μM compared to standard drug Erlotinib (IC50 0.30 μM). The active compound induces a high percentage of necrosis towards MCF-7, HePG2 and HCT 116 cells. The docking studies, DFT and MEP also supported the biological data. These results demonstrated that these synthesized naproxen hybrids have EGFR inhibition effects and can be used as leads for cancer therapy.

A series of aryl phenoxy methyl triazole conjugated with thiosemicarbazides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their tyrosinase inhibitory activities in the presence of L-dopa and L-tyrosine as substrates. All the compounds showed tyrosinase inhibition in the sub-micromolar concentration. Among the derivatives, compound 9j bearing benzyl displayed exceptionally high potency against tyrosinase with IC50 value of 0.11 μM and 0.17 μM in the presence of L-tyrosine and L-dopa as substrates which is significantly lower than that of kojic acid as the positive control with an IC50 value of 9.28 μM for L-tyrosine and 9.30 μM for L-dopa. According to Lineweaver–Burk plot, 9j demonstrated an uncompetitive type of inhibition in the kinetic assay. Also, in vitro antioxidant activities determined by DPPH assay recorded an IC50 value of 68.43 μM for 9i. The melanin content of 9j was determined on B16F10 melanoma human cells which demonstrated a significant reduction of the melanin content. Moreover, the binding energies corresponding to the same ligand as well as computer-aided drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic studies were also carried out. Compound 9j also possessed metal chelation potential correlated to its high anti-TYR activity.

In this study, a new series of quinazolinone-1,2,3-triazole-acetamide hybrids 8a–m, using by molecular hybridization of the potent α-glucosidase inhibitor pharmacophores, was designed and evaluated against carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes α-glucosidase and α-amylase. All the synthesized compounds with IC50 values in the range of 45.3 ± 1.4 μM to 195.5 ± 4.7 μM were significantly more potent than standard inhibitor against α-glucosidase, while these compounds were not active against α-amylase in comparison to standard inhibitor. Representatively, compound 8a with IC50 = 45.3 ± 1.4 μM was around 17 times more potent than standard inhibitor acarbose (IC50 = 750.0 ± 12.5 μM). The inhibition kinetic analysis of the compound 8a indicated that this compound was a competitive α-glucosidase inhibitor. Molecular modeling analysis confirmed that the most potent inhibitors 8a and 8b well accommodated in the modeled α-glucosidase active site and it was also revealed that these compounds formed stable inhibitor–receptor complexes with the α-glucosidase in comparison to acarbose. In silico pharmacokinetic and toxicity of the most potent compounds were evaluated and obtained results were compared with acarbose. Furthermore, the most potent compounds were also evaluated against human normal cells and no cytotoxicity was observed.

α-Glucosidase is responsible for glucose release of oligosaccharides and disaccharides in the intestine and increase postprandial hyperglycemia. Inhibition of this enzyme is a beneficial therapeutic method for glycemic control in diabetes. This study deals with the design and synthesis of 4,5-diphenylimidazole-N-phenylacetamide derivatives 7a–l and the screen of these compounds for their potential for α-glucosidase inhibition. All the synthesized compounds exhibited superior α-glucosidase inhibition (IC50 = 90.0–598.5 μM) as compared to standard inhibitor acarbose (IC50 = 750.0 μM). In contrast, these compounds were inactive against α-amylase. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 7h was the most potent inhibitor of this library and was a competitive inhibitor into α-glucosidase with Ki value = 86.3 μM. Docking study of the most potent compounds was performed to evaluate the binding interactions of these compounds with the active site of enzyme and to determine of binding energies of ligand–enzyme complexes. The results of this in silico study are in complete agreement with the results obtained from in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition assay. Docking study of the most potent compound demonstrated that it interacted with important residues in the active site of α-glucosidase. In vitro cytotoxic activity of the most potent compounds and in silico druglikeness/ADME/toxicity study of these compounds were evaluated.

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) has been considered as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD) because of its compensation capacity to hydrolyze acetylcholine (ACh) and its close association with Aβ deposit. Here, we identified S06-1011 (hBChE IC50 = 16 nM) and S06-1031 (hBChE IC50 = 25 nM) as highly effective and selective BChE inhibitors, which were proved to be safe and long-acting. Candidate compounds exhibited neuroprotective effects and the ability to improve cognition in scopolamine- and Aβ1-42 peptide-induced cognitive deficit models. The best candidate S06-1011 increased the level of ghrelin, a substrate of BChE, which can function as improving the mental mood appetite. The weight gain of the S06-1011-treated group remarkably increased. Hence, BChE inhibition not only plays a protective role against dementia but also exerts a great effect on treating and nursing care.

In order to find new and highly effective anti-tumor drugs with targeted therapeutic effects, a series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives containing N-phenylacetamide structure were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against four human cancer cell lines (H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803) using MTT assay. The results showed that the compound 19e had the most potent antiproliferative activity against H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803 cell lines. At the same time, compound 19e could significantly inhibit the colony formation and migration of H1975 cells. Compound 19e also arrested the H1975 cell cycle in the G1 phase and mediated cell apoptosis, promoted the accumulation of ROS in H1975 cells. Furthermore, compound 19e exerted antitumor effect in vitro by reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and increasing the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and p53. Mechanistically, compound 19e could significantly decreased the phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream protein PI3K in H1975 cells. Which indicated that compound 19e targeted H1975 cell via interfering with EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that compound 19e could bind into the active pocket of EGFR. Those work suggested that compound 19e would have remarkable implications for further design of anti-tumor agents.
