Herein, we have designed and synthesized new imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-based aryl hydrazones (9a-w) and evaluated their anti-proliferative potential against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, 9i and 9m elicited promising cytotoxicity against the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values of 1.65 and 1.12 μM, respectively. Cell cycle analysis revealed that 9i and 9m significantly arrest MDA-MB-231 cells in the G0/G1 phase. In addition, detailed biological studies such as annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide, DCFH-DA, JC-1 and DAPI staining assays revealed that 9i and 9m triggered apoptosis in MDA-MB-213 cells. Overall, the current work demonstrated the cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing potential of 9i and 9m in breast cancer cells and suggested that they could be explored as promising antiproliferative leads in the future.

An efficient, metal-free approach to access pyrazolo-[1,5-c]quinazolines with 3-ylideneoxindoles and tosyldiazomethane (TsDAM) under mild aqueous reaction conditions has been developed and the solvent involvement in the present reaction has also been explored for the first time. This greener approach involves 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, regioselective ring expansion, followed by the elimination of tosyl group with aqueous base in a single operation, and the product can be isolated in high purity without column chromatographic separation. The method is also compatible with a large variety of functional groups, providing good to excellent yields in water, thus resulting in a decrease of environmental impact in the pharmaceutical industry.

New N-4-piperazinyl ciprofloxacin-triazole hybrids 6a-o were prepared and characterized. The in vitro antimycobacterial activity revealed that compound 6a experienced promising antimycobacterial activity against Mycobactrium smegmatis compared with the reference isoniazide (INH). Additionally, compound 6a exhibited broad spectrum antibacterial activity against all the tested strains either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria compared with the reference ciprofloxacin. Also, compounds 6g and 6i displayed considerable antifungal activity compared with the reference ketoconazole. DNA cleavage assay of the highly active compounds 6c and 6h showed a good correlation between the Mycobactrium cleaved DNA gyrase assay and their in vitro antimycobactrial activity. Moreover, molecular modeling studies were done for the designed ciprofloxacin derivatives to predict their binding modes towards Topoisomerase II enzyme (PDB: 5bs8).

In continuance with earlier reported work, an extension has been carried out by the same research group. Mulling over the ongoing condition of resistance to existing antimalarial agents, we had reported synthesis and antimalarial activity of certain pyrazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid compounds. Bearing previous results in mind, our research group ideated to design and synthesize some more derivatives with varied substitutions of acetophenone and hydrazide. Following this, derivatives 5a–r were synthesized and tested for antimalarial efficacy by schizont maturation inhibition assay. Further, depending on the literature support and results of our previous series, certain potent compounds (5f, 5n and 5r) were subjected to Falcipain-2 inhibitory assay. Results obtained for these particular compounds further strengthened our hypothesis. Here, in this series, compound 5f having unsubstituted acetophenone part and a furan moiety linked to oxadiazole ring emerged as the most potent compound and results were found to be comparable to that of the most potent compound (indole bearing) of previous series. Additionally, depending on the available literature, compounds (5a–r) were tested for their antileishmanial potential. Compounds 5a, 5c and 5r demonstrated dose-dependent killing of the promastigotes. Their IC50 values were found to be 33.3 ± 1.68, 40.1 ± 1.0 and 19.0 ± 1.47 μg/mL respectively. These compounds (5a, 5c and 5r) also had effects on amastigote infectivity with IC50 of 44.2 ± 2.72, 66.8 ± 2.05 and 73.1 ± 1.69 μg/mL respectively. Further target validation was done using molecular docking studies. Acute oral toxicity studies for most active compounds were also performed.

Abstract: Herein we report the synthesis of new N-4-piperazinyl thiadiazole and oxadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives and their antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities. Although thiadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives compound showed broad spectrum antibacterial activity against all the tested strains either Gram-positive or Gram-negative organisms, the oxadiazole derivatives exhibited weaker antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities than thiadiazole derivatives against most of the tested strains compared with the reference ciprofloxacin. Moreover, the antimycobacterial screening revealed that compounds which containing thiadiazole scaffold potently inhibited Mycobacterium smegmatis at MIC of 1.56 and 3.13, respectively, and modestly inhibited the drug-resistant strains. DNA cleavage assay revealed that thiadiazole ciprofloxacin derivatives inhibited supercoil relaxation, albeit to a lesser extent than ciprofloxacin, and it also increased the amount of nicked substrate produced.

Four novel 18F-labeled quinazoline derivatives with low lipophilicity, [18F]4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline ([18F]I), [18F]4-(3-((4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-7-methoxyquinazolin-6-yl)oxy)propyl)morpholine ([18F]II), [18F]4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-7-methoxy-6-(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazoline ([18F]III), and [18F]4-(2-fluoroethoxy)-6,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazoline ([18F]IV), were synthesized via a 2-step radiosynthesis procedure with an overall radiochemical yield of 10% to 38% (without decay correction) and radiochemical purities of >98%. The lipophilicity and stability of labeled compounds were tested in vitro. The log P values of the 4 radiotracers ranged from 0.52 to 1.07. We then performed ELISA to measure their affinities to EGFR-TK; ELISA assay results indicated that each inhibitor was specifically bounded to EGFR-TK in a dose-dependent manner. The EGFR-TK autophosphorylation IC50 values of [18F]I, [18F]II, [18F]III, and [18F]IV were 7.732, 0.4698, 0.1174, and 0.1176?μM, respectively. All labeled compounds were evaluated via cellular uptake and blocking studies in HepG2 cell lines in vitro. Cellular uptake and blocking experiment results indicated that [18F]I and [18F]III had excellent cellular uptake at 120-minute postinjection in HepG2 carcinoma cells (51.80?±?3.42%ID/mg protein and 27.31?±?1.94%ID/mg protein, respectively). Additionally, biodistribution experiments in S180 tumor-bearing mice in vivo indicated that [18F]I had a very fast clearance in blood and a relatively high uptake ratio of tumor to blood (4.76) and tumor to muscle (1.82) at 60-minute postinjection. [18F]III had a quick clearance in plasma, and its highest uptake ratio of tumor to muscle was 2.55 at 15-minute postinjection. These experimental results and experiences were valuable for the further exploration of novel radiotracers of quinazoline derivatives.

A series of novel 1, 2, 4-triazole/chalcone hybrids was prepared and identified with different spectroscopic techniques. The prepared compounds showed remarkable cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines. Compounds 24, 25, 27, 41 and 47 had shown the highest cytotoxicity among the tested compounds against human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells with IC50 ranging from 4.4 to 16.04 μM compared to cisplatin with IC50 of 15.3 μM. Flow cytometric analysis of the tested compounds showed an increase in the number of apoptotic cells in a dose-dependent manner. The further mechanistic study demonstrated that 1, 2, 4-triazole-chalcone hybrids induced apoptosis via increased level of proapoptotic protein Bax, release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and activation of caspase-3/8/9 proteins. However, general caspase inhibition by the pan-caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-fmk, significantly decreased the apoptosis induced by the tested hybrids, suggesting dependency of apoptosis on activation of the caspase-3 pathway.
