A series of novel tetrahydrobenzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine urea derivatives was synthesized according to fragment-based design strategy. They were evaluated for their anticancer activity against MCF-7 cell line. Three compounds 9c, 9d and 11b showed 1.5–1.03 folds more potent anticancer activity than doxorubicin. In this study, a promising multi-sited enzyme small molecule inhibitor 9c, which showed the most potent anti-proliferative activity, was identified. The anti-proliferative activity of this compound appears to correlate well with its ability to inhibit topoisomerase II (IC50 = 9.29 μM). Moreover, compound 9c showed excellent VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity, at the sub-micromolar level with IC50 value 0.2 μM, which is 2.1 folds more potent than sorafenib. Moreover, activation of damage response pathway of the DNA leads to cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, accumulation of cells in pre-G1 phase and annexin-V and propidium iodide staining, indicating that cell death proceeds through an apoptotic mechanism. Compound 9c showed potent pro-apoptotic effect through induction of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. This mechanistic pathway was confirmed by a significant increase in the expression of the tumor suppressor gene p53, elevation in Bax/BCL-2 ratio and a significant increase in the level of active caspase-3. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies delivered equations of five 3D descriptors with R2 = 0.814. This QSAR model provides an effective technique for understanding the observed antitumor properties and thus could be adopted for developing effective lead structures.

This work describes the synthesis and anticancer activity against kinase enzymes of newly designed thiophene and thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, along with their potential to activate autophagic and apoptotic cell death in cancer cells. The designed compounds were scanned for their affinity for kinases. The results were promising with affinity ranges from 46.7% to 13.3%. Molecular docking studies were performed, and the compounds were then screened for their antiproliferative effects. Interestingly, compounds 8 and 5 resulted in higher cytotoxic effects than the reference standard against MCF-7 and HepG-2. The compounds were evaluated for their induction of apoptosis and/or necrosis on HT-29 and HepG-2. Three compounds induced significant early apoptosis compared to untreated control HT-29 cells, and four derivatives were more significant compared to untreated HepG-2 cells. We further investigated the effect of four compounds on the autophagy process within HT-29, HepG-2, and MCF-7 cells with flow cytometry. Similar to the apoptosis results, compound 5 showed the highest autophagic induction among all compounds. The potential inhibitory activity of the synthesized compounds on kinases was assessed. Screened compounds showed inhibition activity ranging from 41.4% to 83.5%. Compounds recorded significant inhibition were further investigated for their specific FLT3 kinase inhibitory activity. Noticeably, Compound 5 exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against FLT3.

A multicomponent synthesis was empolyed for the synthesis of ethyl 2-amino-4,5,6,7- tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate 1. An interesting cyclization was obtained when the amino-ester 1 reacted with ethyl isothiocyanate to give the benzo[4,5]thieno[

Deregulation of many kinases is directly linked to cancer development and the tyrosine kinase family is one of the most important targets in current cancer therapy regimens. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a series of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives as an EGFR and HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory activities against EGFRWT; and the most active compounds that showed promising IC50 values against EGFRWT were tested in vitro for their inhibitory activities against mutant EGFRT790M and HER2 kinases. Moreover, the antitumor activities of these compounds were tested against four cancer cell lines (HepG2, HCT-116, MCF-7 and A431). Compounds 13g, 13h and 13k exhibited the highest activities against the examined cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 7.592 ± 0.32 to 16.006 ± 0.58 μM comparable to that of erlotinib (IC50 ranging from 4.99 ± 0.09 to 13.914 ± 0.36 μM). Furthermore, the most potent antitumor agent (13k) was selected for further studies to determine its effect on the cell cycle progression and apoptosis in MCF-7 cell line. The results indicated that this compound arrests G2/M phase of the cell cycle and it is a good apoptotic agent. Finally, molecular docking studies showed a good binding pattern of the synthesized compounds with the prospective target, EGFRWT and EGFRT790M.

A structure-based virtual screening technique was applied to the study of the HCV NS3 helicase, with the aim to find novel inhibitors of the HCV replication. A library of ~450000 commercially available compounds was analysed in silico and 21 structures were selected for biological evaluation in the HCV replicon assay. One hit characterized by a substituted thieno-pyrimidine scaffold was found to inhibit the viral replication with an EC50value in the sub-micromolar range and a good selectivity index. Different series of novel thieno-pyrimidine derivatives were designed and synthesised; several new structures showed antiviral activity in the low or sub-micromolar range.

Phosphodiesterase-9A (PDE9A) is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The Pfizer PDE9A inhibitor PF-04447943 has completed Phase II clinical trials in subjects with mild to moderate AD in 2013. However, most of the reported PDE9A inhibitors share the same scaffold as pyrazolopyrimidinone, which lacks structural diversity and is unfavorable for the development of novel PDE9A inhibitors. In the present study, a combinatorial method including pharmacophores, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, binding free energy calculations, and bioassay was used to discover novel PDE9A inhibitors with new scaffolds rather than pyrazolopyrimidinones from the SPECS database containing about 200000 compounds. As a result, 15 hits out of 29 molecules (a hit rate of 52%) with five novel scaffolds were identified to be PDE9A inhibitors with inhibitory affinities no more than 50 μM to enrich the structural diversity, different from the pyrazolopyrimidinone-derived family. The high hit ratio of 52% for this virtual screening method indicated that the combinatorial method is a good compromise between computational cost and accuracy. Binding pattern analyses indicate that those hits with non-pyrazolopyrimidinone scaffolds can bind the same active site pocket of PDE9A as classical PDE9A inhibitors. In addition, structural modification of compound AG-690/40135604 (IC50 = 8.0 μM) led to a new one, 16, with an improved inhibitory affinity of 2.1 μM as expected. The five novel scaffolds discovered in the present study can be used for the rational design of PDE9A inhibitors with higher affinities. This journal is

The synthesis of 2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazone-derivatives (BTPs) and their in vitro evaluation against Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Leishmania amazonensis axenic amastigotes, and six human cancer cell lines is described. The in vivo activity of the most active and least toxic compounds against T. cruzi and L. amazonensis was also studied. BTPs constitute a new family of drug leads with potential activity against infectious diseases. Due to their drug-like properties, this series of compounds can potentially serve as templates for future drug-optimization and drug-development efforts for use as therapeutic agents in developing countries.
