Design, synthesis, molecular docking and antiproliferative activity of some novel benzothiazole derivatives targeting EGFR/HER2 and TS

Multi-targeted anticancer drugs are in focus as a promising research topic. A new series of benzothiazoles hybridized with pyrimidine moiety was designed and synthesized using the lead compound 4a. Various chemical modifications on the pyrimidine ring of 4a at four different positions were done in a trial to get new multi-targeted anticancer agents. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established on their elemental analyses and spectral data. All final synthesized derivatives were submitted to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), USA, to be screened for their in vitro anticancer activity. Further evaluation for the cytotoxic activity of the most active compounds was performed using the MTT assay method. Compounds 4d, 8d, 8h, 8i and 17 were then selected for examining their in vitro enzyme inhibitory activities against EGFR, HER2 and TS enzymes using lapatinib and 5FU as standards. Furthermore, cell cycle analysis and apoptosis induction detection were also evaluated. Finally, molecular docking studies were carried out for compounds 4d, 8d, 8h, 8i and 17 to interpret their observed enzymatic activities based on the ligand–protein interactions.

Synthesis and anticancer activity evaluation of 4-thiazolidinones containing benzothiazole moiety

Antitumor screening of several novel 4-thiazolidinones with benzothiazole moiety has been performed. Reactions of (benzothiazole-2-yl)hydrazine with trithiocarbonyl diglycolic acid or 6-methyl-2-aminobenzothiazole with 2-carbethoxymethylthio-2-thiazoline-4-one have yielded starting 3- (1) or 2-substituted (11) 4-thiazolidinones which have been subsequently utilized in a Knoevenagel condensation for obtaining a series of 5-arylidene derivatives 2-10, 12-16. Compound 11 has been obtained alternatively by a counter synthesis method based on the reaction of 2-chloro-N-(6-methylbenzothiazol-2-yl)-acetamide and ammonium thiocyanate. The structures of compounds have been determined by 1H, 13C NMR, IR and X-ray analysis. In vitro anticancer activity of the synthesized compounds was tested by the National Cancer Institute and two (6, 16) of them has revealed the anticancer activity on leukemia, melanoma, lung, colon, CNS, ovarian, renal, prostate and breast cancers cell lines. Among tested compounds, 2-{2-[3-(benzothiazol-2-ylamino)-4- oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-5-ylidenemethyl]-4-chlorophenoxy}-N-(4-methoxyphenyl) -acetamide (6) was found to be the most active candidate with average logGI 50 and logTGI values -5.38 and -4.45 respectively.

An extensive research on aldose reductase inhibitory effects of new 4H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives

Mechanistic insights into binding of ligands with thiazolidinedione warhead to human histone deacetylase 4

Recently, we have reported that non-hydroxamate thiazolidinedione (TZD) analogs are capable of inhibiting human deacetylase 4 (HDAC4). This study aims at the dissection of the molecular determinants and kinetics of the molecular recognition of TZD ligands by HDAC4. For this purpose, a structure activity relationship analysis of 225 analogs was combined with a comprehensive study of the enzyme and binding kinetics of a variety of HDAC4 mutant variants. The experimental data were rationalized by docking to the two major conformations of HDAC4. TZD ligands are competitive inhibitors and bind via a two-step mechanism involving principal molecular recognition and induced fit. The residence time of 24 g is (34 ± 3) min and thus much larger than that of the canonical pan-HDAC inhibitor SAHA ((5 ± 2) min). Importantly, the binding kinetics can be tuned by varying the structure of the CAP group.

Targeting EGFR tyrosine kinase: Synthesis, in vitro antitumor evaluation, and molecular modeling studies of benzothiazole-based derivatives

New benzothiazole-based derivatives were synthesized in the present work with the aim of evaluating their antitumor activity. They were in vitro tested against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), mammary gland cancer (MCF-7), prostate cancer (PC-3), and epithelioid carcinoma (HeLa). The results of the in vitro antitumor evaluation revealed that the most active compounds were 39, 40, 51, 56, and 61 exhibiting IC50 values comparable to the reference drug lapatinib. The most active compounds were further subjected to EGFR inhibitory activity assay to rationalize their potency mode. Notably, the most active antitumor compounds 39 and 40 represented the most potent inhibitors to EGFR with IC50 values of 24.58 and 30.42 nM respectively in comparison with 17.38 nM for lapatinib as a standard drug. Molecular modeling studies were also conducted for the synthesized compounds, including docking into EGFR active site and surface mapping. Results proved the superior binding of the hydrazone derivatives 39 and 40 with EGFR suggesting them as good candidates for targeted antitumor therapy through EGFR kinase inhibition.

Biological evaluation of a series of benzothiazole derivatives as mosquitocidal agents

Aedes aegypti is associated with the transmission of numerous human and animal diseases, such as yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, and more recently Zika virus. Emerging insecticide resistance has created a need to develop new mosquitocidal agents for effective control operations. A series of benzothiazole-piperidine derivatives (1-24) were investigated for their larvicidal and adulticidal effects on Ae. aegypti It was observed that compounds 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 13 showed notable larvicidal activity. Furthermore, compounds 6 and 10 showed promising adulticidal activity. Based on the mosquitocidal properties of these compounds, docking studies were also carried out in the active site of the AeSCP2 enzyme to explore any insights into further in vitro enzyme studies. Docking results indicated that all these active compounds showed reasonable interactions with critical residues in the active site of this enzyme. This outcome suggested that these compounds might show their larvicidal and adulticidal effects via the inhibition of AeSCP2. According to in vitro and in silico studies, compounds 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 13 stand out as candidates for further studies.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives as potential antitumor agents against chronic myelogenous leukemia: Striking effect of nitrothiazole moiety

In an attempt to develop potent antitumor agents, new 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on multiple human cancer cell lines, including the K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line that expresses the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase. N-(5-Nitrothiazol-2-yl)-2-((5-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)acetamide (2) inhibited the Abl protein kinase with an IC50 value of 7.4 μM and showed selective activity against the Bcr-Abl positive K562 cell line. Furthermore, a Bcr-Abl-compound 2 molecular modelling simulation highlighted the anchoring role of the nitrothiazole moiety in bonding and hydrophobic interaction with the key amino acid residues. These results provide promising starting points for further development of novel kinase inhibitors.

Design, synthesis, and screening of hybrid benzothiazolyl-oxadiazoles as anticonvulsant agents

Background: Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people globally. It is generally characterized by periodic seizures of unpredictable nature, though a variety of anticonvulsant drugs are available but the major drawback is undesirable side effects. Here an effort is being made to utilise the beneficial effect of benzothiazoles and oxadiazoles as potent anticonvulsants and there is an anticipation of synergistic effect from the hybrid molecule. Methods: Here a series of new hybrid molecules containing oxadiazole and benzothiazole pharmacophore were synthesised using appropriate synthetic route and characterised by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass and elemental analysis. The synthesised compounds were examined for their maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylene tetrazole (Sc PTZ) induced seizure and neurotoxicity screens. Those found potent were also evaluated for their CNS depressant effect. Results: Among the compounds tested 4m N-(6-fluro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-2-{[5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]sulfanyl}acetamide and 4n N-(6-Chloro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-2-{[5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]sulfanyl} acetamide showed protection from seizures in both the animal models at dose level of 30 mg/kg after 0.5 hr and at 100 mg/kg after 4 hr period indicating that the compound is potent and long acting. These compounds also exhibited lesser CNS depression and neurotoxicity. Conclusion: Among the synthesized compounds 4m and 4n possessed significant anticonvulsant activity without any neurotoxicity and CNS depressant effects. Thus the hybrid benzothiazolyl acetamide derivatives containing oxadizole scaffold provided a new opportunity for possible modification and future exploitation to get the safer and effective anticvulsant agents.

Fighting against alzheimer’s disease: Synthesis of new pyrazoline and benzothiazole derivatives as new acetylcholinesterase and MAO inhibitors

Background: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complicated neurodegenerative disorder with a multifaceted pathogenesis.AD, characterized by gradual memory loss, falling in language ability and other cognitive deterioration, and has been a prominent risk to ageing population. This means that there is an urgent need to find new lead compounds for controlling and fighting against (AD). In this way, a new thiophene-2-pyrazoline derivatives (A1-A5) and benzothiazole derivatives (A6-A13) have been synthesized to give beneficial compounds to controlling and battling against (AD). Results: Compounds A5 and A13 showed the most remarkable activity with an 18.53 μM and 15.26 μM IC50 values against AChE enzyme. In like manner, compound A4 was active with a 20.34 μM IC50 value against MAO-A. These active compounds are in fact non-toxic making them very attractive for additional future studies. Enzyme kinetic was analyzed and the Lineweaver-Burk plot reveals that compound A13 was typically mixed AChE inhibitors, which showed significant similarity to donepezil. In addition, the best docking pose was done by analyzing the docking pattern of the most active compound A13 which was very compatible with the gorge and in interaction with both CAS and PAS. Conclusion: The synthesis of new thiophene-2-pyrazoline and benzothiazole derivatives targeting AChE/(MAO-A)/(MAO-B) enzymes was described. The selection of enzyme-kinetic analysis, molecular docking and toxicity test was led to good understanding to the therapeutic potential for the active derivatives. Therefore, these compounds may be accepted as promising leads for future research efforts in fighting against AD.
