In search for new and safer anti-cancer agents, a structurally guided pharmacophore hybridization strategy of two privileged scaffolds, namely diaryl pyrazolines and imidazolidine-2,4-dione (hydantoin), was adopted resulting in a newfangled series of compounds (H1-H22). Herein, a bio-isosteric replacement of “pyrrolidine-2,5-dione” moiety of our recently reported antitumor hybrid incorporating diaryl pyrazoline and pyrrolidine-2,5-dione scaffolds with “imidazoline-2,4-dione” moiety has been incorporated. Complete biological studies revealed the most potent analog among all i.e. compound H13, which was at-least 10-fold more potent compared to the corresponding pyrrolidine-2,5-dione, in colon and breast cancer cells. In-vitro studies showed activation of caspases, arrest of G0/G1 phase of cell cycle, decrease in the expression of anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2) and increased DNA damage. In-vivo assay on HT-29 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma) animal xenograft model unveiled the significant anti-tumor efficacy along with oral bioavailability with maximum TGI 36% (i.p.) and 44% (per os) at 50 mg/kg dose. These findings confirm the suitability of hybridized pyrazoline and imidazolidine-2,4-dione analog H13 for its anti-cancer potential and starting-point for the development of more efficacious analogs.

Novel 2-(aryloxymethyl)aziridines and 2-((3-aryl-1-phenylallyloxy)methyl)aziridine derivatives were prepared via ring-opening reaction of epoxides. The synthesized derivatives were characterized by using elemental analysis (EA), FT-IR, 13C NMR, and 1H NMR. The in vitro antitubercular activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB H37Rv) strain using MTT-MABA assay. All the aziridine derivatives exhibited improved persuasive antitubercular activity against MTB H37Rv in comparison with standard drugs. Among the tested compounds, 2-(naphthalene-1-yloxy) methyl aziridine (5b), 2-(naphthalene-2-yloxy)methylaziridine (5c), 2-(m-tolyloxymethyl)aziridine (5e), 2-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylalloxy)methylaziridine (12b) and 2-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylallyloxy)methylaziridine (12c) revealed promising activity against MTB H37Rv. Specifically, compound 5b and 12 b showed three-times more active (MIC = 0.5 μg/mL) than the standard drugs ethambutol (MIC = 1.56 μg/mL) and ciprofloxacin (MIC = 1.56 μg/mL).

The umpolung Michael addition of isatin N,N′-cyclic azomethine imine 1,3-dipoles with chalcones is reported. The reaction could be finished within a very short time (0.3-2 min), with 3,3-disubstituted oxindole derivatives obtained in moderate to excellent yields with promising dr values. Unusual Michael adducts were obtained in moderate to high yields (26-98%) with low to high diastereoselectivities (0.8: 1 to 8.5: 1 dr). All the synthesized compounds (3, 3′, 4, 5, 5′, 7, 7′, 9 and 9′) were well characterized by FTIR, NMR, and mass spectral analyses and further confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of compounds 3aa and 4n.

In anticancer drug discovery, multi-targeting compounds have been beneficial due to their advantages over single-targeting compounds. For instance, VEGFR-2 has a crucial role in angiogenesis and cancer management, whereas HDACs are well-known regulators o

In the present study, two novel series of compounds incorporating naphthyl and pyridyl linker were synthesized and biological assays revealed 5-((6-(2-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxoethoxy) naphthalene-2-yl)methylene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (14b) as the most potent dual inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factors receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) and histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4). Compounds 13b, 14b, 17f, and 21f were found to stabilize HDAC4; where, pyridyl linker swords were endowed with higher stabilization effects than naphthyl linker. Also, 13b and 14b showed best inhibitory activity on VEGFR-2 as compared to others. Compound 14b was most potent as evident by in-vitro and in-vivo biological assessments. It displayed anti-angiogenic potential by inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation, migration, tube formation and also suppressed new capillary formation in the growing chick chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs). It showed selectivity and potency towards HDAC4 as compared to other HDAC isoforms. Compound 14b (25 mg/kg, i.p.) also indicated exceptional antitumor efficacy on in-vivo animal xenograft model of human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29). The mechanism of action of 14b was also confirmed by western blot.

In search of novel and effective antitumor agents, pyrazoline-substituted pyrrolidine-2,5-dione hybrids were designed, synthesized and evaluated in silico, in vitro and in vivo for anticancer efficacy. All the compounds exhibited remarkable cytotoxic effects in MCF7 and HT29 cells. The excellent antiproliferative activity toward MCF7 (IC50=0.78±0.01 μM), HT29 (IC50=0.92±0.15 μM) and K562 (IC50=47.25±1.24 μM) cell lines, prompted us to further investigate the antitumor effects of the best compound S2 (1-(2-(3-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione). In cell-cycle analysis, S2 was found to disrupt the growth phases with increased cell population in G1/G0 phase and decreased cell population in G2/M phase. The excellent in vitro effects were also supported by inhibition of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. In vivo tumor regression studies of S2 in HT29 xenograft nude mice, exhibited equivalent and promising tumor regression with maximum TGI, 66 % (i. p. route) and 60 % (oral route) at 50 mg kg?1 dose by both the routes, indicating oral bioavailability and antitumor efficacy. These findings advocate that hybridization of pyrazoline and pyrrolidine-2,5-dioes holds promise for the development of more potent and less toxic anticancer agents.

Cathepsins have emerged as important targets in various tissues degenerative disorders due to their involvement in degradation of extracellular matrices and endogenous protein turnover. Elevated cathepsins levels vis-à-vis decreased concentration of endogenous inhibitors has been reported at different diseased sites. The design and synthesis of specific potential anti-cathepsin agents is therefore of great significance. Most of potential anti-cathepsin agents developed have peptide based structures with an active warhead. Due to oral instability and immunogenic problems related to peptidyl inhibitors drift the synthesis and evaluation of non-peptide cathepsin inhibitors in last two decades. The present work provides a detailed structure activity relationship for developing potential non-peptide anticathepsin agents based on in-vitro inhibition studies of a library of synthesized thiocarbamoyl- non-peptide inhibitors.

An olefinic difunctionalization method of enones was presented hereviaaerobic visible-light catalysis. A novel reactivity was showcased in conjunction with the selective Csp2-C(CO) bond activation of enones, which provided a convenient method for the preparation of various β-thiolated-α-functionalized compounds. Moreover, the preliminary investigation of the mechanism indicated that a β-peroxysulfide intermediate was formed under the promotion of visible light under an oxygen atmosphere, which finally induced the unexpected C-C bond cleavage.

Enantioselective diverse synthesis of a small-molecule collection with structural and functional similarities or differences in an efficient manner is an appealing but formidable challenge. Asymmetric preparation and branching transformations of tetrahydroindolizines in succession present a useful approach to the construction of N-heterocycle-containing scaffolds with functional group, and stereochemical diversity. Herein, we report a breakthrough toward this end via an initial diastereo- A nd enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition between pyridinium ylides and enones, following diversified sequential transformations. Chiral N,N′-dioxide-earth metal complexes enable the generation of optically active tetrahydroindolizines in situ, across the strong background reaction for racemate-formation. In connection with deliberate sequential transformations, involving convenient rearomatic oxidation, and light-active aza-Norrish II rearrangement, the tetrahydroindolizine intermediates were converted into the final library including 3-arylindolizine derivatives and dicarbofunctionalized 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds. More importantly, the stereochemistry of four-stereogenic centered tetrahydroindolizine intermediates could be efficiently transferred into axial chirality in 3-arylindolizines and vicinal pyridyl and aryl substituted 1,5-diketones. In addition, densely functionalized cyclopropanes and bridged cyclic compounds were also discovered depending on the nature of the pyridinium ylides. Mechanism studies were involved to explain the stereochemistry during the reaction processes.
