Electrochemistry of ring-substituted 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides: Relation to structure and biological activity

Twenty-two novel antimycobacterial agents, 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides, were studied by cyclic voltammetry on a glassy carbon electrode in a phosphate buffer pH 7.2 – dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixed medium (9:1; v/v). All compounds exhibited similar voltammetric behavior with one irreversible anodic signal in the range 100–300 mV corresponding to the oxidation of hydroxyl group on the naphthalene moiety. A shift of the oxidation potential was caused solely by electron donating or withdrawing effects of substituents and their position on the benzene moiety. Mechanism of oxidation in the studied medium was briefly outlined. Values of oxidation potentials exhibited very good linear correlation with calculated Hammett σ substituent constants. For all active compounds, a relationship between oxidation potentials and MIC or IC50 values obtained from in vitro screening was investigated in detail. Primary in vitro screening of synthesized compounds was previously performed against three species of Mycobacterium pathogens. Additionally, their activity related to the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach chloroplasts was tested in previous publications. In vitro screening against Mycobacterium tuberculosis was performed here for the first time with 1-hydroxy-N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)naphthalene-2-carboxamide being the most effective (MIC = 11.7 μmol L?1). Furthermore, several other compounds showed higher antimycobacterial activity than the standard isoniazid. Relation of biological activities and oxidation potentials was successfully found in some cases; however, final correlations must also be considered with other physical and chemical factors contributing to the biological activity. Relation of structure, biological activity and electrochemical potential was also studied by cyclic voltammetry in cathodic area for three compounds containing reducible nitro moiety.

Investigation of hydro-lipophilic properties of n-alkoxyphenylhydroxynaphthalenecarboxamides ?

The evaluation of the lipophilic characteristics of biologically active agents is indispensable for the rational design of ADMET-tailored structure–activity models. N-Alkoxy-3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides, N-alkoxy-1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides, and N-alkoxy-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carboxanilides were recently reported as a series of compounds with antimycobacterial, antibacterial, and herbicidal activity. As it was found that the lipophilicity of these biologically active agents determines their activity, the hydro-lipophilic properties of all three series were investigated in this study. All 57 anilides were analyzed using the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method for the measurement of lipophilicity. The procedure was performed under isocratic conditions with methanol as an organic modifier in the mobile phase using an end-capped non-polar C18 stationary reversed-phase column. In the present study, a range of software lipophilicity predictors for the estimation of clogP values of a set of N-alkoxyphenylhydroxynaphthalenecarboxamides was employed and subsequently cross-compared with experimental parameters. Thus, the empirical values of lipophilicity (logk) and the distributive parameters (π) were compared with the corresponding in silico characteristics that were calculated using alternative methods for deducing the lipophilic features. To scrutinize (dis)similarities between the derivatives, a PCA procedure was applied to visualize the major differences in the performance of molecules with respect to their lipophilic profile, molecular weight, and violations of Lipinski’s Rule of Five.

Antimycobacterial N-alkoxyphenylhydroxynaphthalenecarboxamides affecting photosystem II

N-(Alkoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carboxamides (series A) and N-(alkoxyphenyl)-1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxamides (series B) affecting photosystem (PS) II inhibited photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach chloroplasts. Their inhibitory activity depended on the compound lipophilicity as well as on the position of the alkoxy substituent. The most potent PET inhibitors were 2-hydroxy-N-phenylnaphthalene-1-carboxamide and N-[3-(but-2-yloxy)phenyl]-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carboxamide within series A (IC50?=?28.9 and 42.5?μM, respectively) and 1-hydroxy-N-(3-propoxyphenyl)naphthalene-2-carboxamide and 1-hydroxy-N-(3-ethoxyphenyl)-naphthalene-2-carboxamide (IC50?=?2.0 and 3.1?μM, respectively) within series B. The inhibitory activity of C′(3) or C′(4) alkoxy substituted compounds of series B was considerably higher than that of C′(2) ones within series A. The PET-inhibiting activities of both series were compared with the PET inhibition of isomeric N-alkoxyphenyl-3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxamides (series C) reported recently. Interactions of the studied compounds with chlorophyll a and aromatic amino acids present in pigment–protein complexes mainly in PS II were documented by fluorescence spectroscopy. The section between P680 and plastoquinone QB in the PET chain occurring on the acceptor side of PS?II can be suggested as the site of action of the compounds.

Antimycobacterial and herbicidal activity of ring-substituted 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides

In this study, a series of 22 ring-substituted 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2- carboxanilides were prepared and characterized. Primary in vitro screening of the synthesized compounds was performed against Mycobacterium marinum, Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium smegmatis. The compounds were also tested for their activity related to inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. Most of tested compounds showed the antimycobacterial activity against the three strains comparable or higher than the standard isoniazid. N-(3-Fluorophenyl)-1- hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxamide showed the highest biological activity (MIC = 28.4 μmol/L) against M. marinum, N-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-hydroxynaphthalene-2- carboxamide showed the highest biological activity (MIC = 14.2 μmol/L) against M. kansasii, and N-(4-bromophenyl)-1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxamide expressed the highest biological activity (MIC = 46.7 μmol/L) against M. smegmatis. This compound and 1-hydroxy-N-(3-methylphenyl)naphthalene-2- carboxamide were the most active compounds against all three tested strains. The PET inhibition expressed by IC50 value of the most active compound 1-hydroxy-N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)naphthalene-2-carboxamide was 5.3 μmol/L. The most effective compounds demonstrated insignificant toxicity against the human monocytic leukemia THP-1 cell line. For all compounds, structure-activity relationships are discussed.
