Antioxidant and Cardioprotective Evaluation of Some N-(3-Chloro-2-oxo-4-arylazetidin-1-yl)-2-[(4-oxo-2-aryl-4H-chromen-7-yl)oxy]acetamide Derivatives

A series of N-(3-chloro-2-oxo-4-arylazetidin-1-yl)-2-[(4-oxo-2-aryl-4H-chromen-7-yl)oxy]acetamide derivatives [SLP VI 1(a-d)-2(a-d)] were synthesized from 7-hydroxy flavone derivatives through the intermediate Schiff bases. The synthesized compounds were investigated for in vitro antioxidant property by DPPH radical scavenging assay. The title compounds with good antioxidant potency were further evaluated for possible cardioprotective effect by doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity. All biochemical changes were normalized after oral administration of the test compounds at the dose of 50 μg/kg. The results showed the significant (p 0.05) increase in antioxidant enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase in heart tissue homogenates. These observations enable us to conclude that the synthesized derivatives SLP VI 1b, VI 1c, VI 2b and VI 2d have cardioprotective activity against doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity. Further, an attempt has been made to perform in silico studies on the synthesized compounds to predict the interaction between test ligands and prospective cardiovascular protein targets using molecular docking tools. The title compounds have good binding affinity with MAPkinase P38 and PKCβ cardiovascular targets.

Identification of inhibitors targeting polyketide synthase 13 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as antituberculosis drug leads

Polyketide synthase 13 (Pks13) is an essential enzyme in the synthesis of mycolic acids in Mtb. Therefore, Pks13 is a promising drug target for tuberculosis treatment. We used a structure-guided approach to identify novel chemotype inhibitors of Pks13 and assessed them using a Pks13 enzymatic assay and surface plasmon resonance. The structure–activity relationships (SAR) results demonstrated that the substituents at the 2, 5, and 6 positions of the 4H-chromen-4-one scaffold are critical for maintaining the MIC. Compound 6e with 2-hydroxyphenyl at the 2 position of the 4H-chromen-4-one scaffold, exhibited potent activity against Mtb H37Rv (MIC = 0.45 μg/mL) and displayed good Pks13 affinity and inhibition (IC50 = 14.3 μM). This study described here could provide an avenue to explore a novel inhibitor class for Pks13 and aid the further development of antituberculosis drugs.

Design, synthesis and apoptosis inducing activity of nonsteroidal flavone-methanesulfonate derivatives on MCF-7 cell line as potential sulfatase inhibitor

In recent years, focusing on new potent anticancer agents with selective activity is one of the greatest challenges in cancer therapy. Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the main cause of cancer deaths in women. The sulfatase enzyme plays an important role in converting the sulfated steroids into non-sulfate steroid hormones, which increases the growth and development of many hormone-dependent cancers, such as breast cancer. In this regard, structure-based optimization was conducted to design novel flavone-sulfonates pharmacophore as a new steroid sulfatase inhibitor. In the present work, the conventional methods for the synthesis of 4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-7-yl methanesulfonate derivatives were reported. Their cytotoxicity was evaluated with MTT assay against a breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). The apoptosis inducing activity of the most cytotoxic compound 3c with an IC50 value of 0.615 μM was evaluated in comparison to docetaxel in the presence of estradiol which is a crucial growth factor to survive the cancerous cells. The results of double staining Annexin V-FITC/PI analysis suggested that the cytotoxic activity of this compound 3c in MCF-7 cells occurs via apoptosis. Molecular docking studies were conducted to clarify the inhibition mode of the most promising compound (3c) over the sulfatase (1P49) binding site. The analysis revealed the role of hydrogen bond interaction with Gly181 and hydrophobic interactions through the 1P49 active site in the ligand-receptor complex as significant descriptors to rationalize the potential inhibition activity.

Chromone derivatives bearing pyridinium moiety as multi-target-directed ligands against Alzheimer's disease

A new serise of 7-hydroxy-chromone derivatives bearing pyridine moiety were synthesized, and evaluated as multifunctional agents against Alzheimer's disease (AD). Most of the compounds were good AChE inhibitors (IC50 = 9.8–0.71 μM) and showed remarkable BuChE inhibition activity (IC50 = 1.9–0.006 μM) compared with donepezil as the standard drug (IC50 = 0.023 and 3.4 μM). Compounds 14 and 10 showed the best inhibitory activity toward AChE (IC50 = 0.71 μM) and BuChE (IC50 = 0.006 μM), respectively. The ligand–protein docking simulations and kinetic studies revealed that compound 14 and 10 could bind effectively to the peripheral anionic binding site (PAS) of the AChE and BuChE through mixed-type inhibition. In addition, the most potent compounds showed acceptable neuroprotective activity on H2O2- and Aβ-induced.neurotoxicity in PC12 cells, more than standard drugs. The compounds could block effectively self- and AChE-induced Aβ aggregation. All the results suggest that compounds 14 and 10 could be considered as promising multi-target-directed ligands against AD.

Scope and Applications of 2,3-Oxidative Aryl Rearrangements for the Synthesis of Isoflavone Natural Products

The reaction of flavanones with hypervalent iodine reagents was investigated with a view to the synthesis of naturally occurring isoflavones. In contrast to several previous reports in the literature, we did not observe the formation of any benzofurans via a ring contraction pathway, but could isolate only isoflavones, resulting from an oxidative 2,3-aryl rearrangement, and flavones, resulting from an oxidation of the flavanones. Although the 2,3-oxidative rearrangement allows a synthetically useful approach toward some isoflavone natural products due to the convenient accessibility of the required starting materials, the overall synthetic utility and generality of the reaction appear to be more limited than previous literature reports suggest.

Flavonoid analogues as urease inhibitors: Synthesis, biological evaluation, molecular docking studies and in-silico ADME evaluation

A series of novel flavonoid analogues were designed and synthesized. The aimed compounds for urease inhibitory activities were clearly superior to the control drug thiourea (more than 10 times). Among these compounds, L2 (IC50 = 1.343 μM) and L12 (IC50 = 1.207 μM) exhibited the most excellent urease inhibitory activity in vitro. The molecular dockings of L2, L12 and L22 into urease were performed to explore the binding modes and their structure-activity relationship. Furthermore, these aimed compounds showed good druggable properties.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-Phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives as polyfunctional compounds against Alzheimer’s disease

Polyfunctional compounds comprise a novel class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of multi-factorial diseases. A series of 2-Phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one and its derivatives (5a–n) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their poly-functionality against acetylcholinestrase (AChE) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation inhibitors against Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The screening results showed that most of them exhibited a significant ability to inhibit AChE AGEs formation with additional radical scavenging activity. Especially, 5m, 5b, and 5j displayed the greatest ability to inhibit AChE (IC50 = 8.0, 8.2, and 11.8 nM, respectively) and AGEs formation (IC50 = 55, 79, and 54 μM, respectively) with good antioxidant activity. Molecular docking studies explored the detailed interaction pattern with active, peripheral, and mid-gorge sites of AChE. These compounds, exhibiting such multiple pharmacological activities, can be further taken a lead for the development of potent drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

An Efficient One-Pot Synthesis and Anticancer Activity of 4'-Substituted Flavonoids

A number of 4'-substituted (R = H, Me, Cl, F) flavone derivatives is synthesized from 2-hydroxyacetophenones using the modified Baker–Venkataraman reaction. Compound [3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-5- hydroxy-4'-fluoroflavone] was synthesized for the first time with the yield of 12%. Antiproliferative assays indicate that the synthesized flavones with F substituent at the 4' position demonstrate higher activity than the other flavone derivatives, particularly against HeLa and MCF-7 with the IC50 9.5 and 2.7 μM, respectively.

Exploration of multi-target potential of chromen-4-one based compounds in Alzheimer's disease: Design, synthesis and biological evaluations

A novel series of flavonoid based compounds were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated for Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity integrated with advanced glycation end products (AGEs) inhibitory and antioxidant potential. Most of the derivatives inhibited AChE in nanomolar IC50 range along with good AGEs inhibitory and radical scavenging activity. Among them, 7m, strongly inhibited AChE (IC50 = 5.87 nM) and found to be potent as compared to the reference drug donepezil (IC50 = 12.7 nM). Its potent inhibitory activity has been justified by docking analysis that revealed its dual binding characteristic with both CAS (catalytic active site) and PAS (peripheral anionic site) of AChE, simultaneously. Additionally, this compound also displayed ability to prevent advanced glycation end products formation (IC50 = 23.0 μM) with additional radical scavenging property (IC50 = 37.12 nM). It (7m) also ameliorated scopolamine induced memory deficit in mice employing Morris water maze test. Thus, flavonoids might be the promising lead compounds as potential polyfunctional anti-Alzheimer's agents.

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of some dihydro-1 H-furo[2,3-c]pyrazole-Flavone hybrids

A new series of dihydro-1 H-furo[2,3-c]pyrazole-flavone hybrids were synthesized from one-pot four-component reaction of β-keto ester (1), hydrazine (2),7-hydroxy 8-formyl flavones (3), pyridiniumylide (4) in presence of NEt3 as catalyst under ethanol reflux conditions and their antiproliferative properties were evaluated against human cancer cell lines, namely, laryngeal carcinoma (Hep2), lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and cervical cancer (HeLa). The best among them, furo[2,3-c]pyrazole-flavone with C4′-methoxy substitution was selected for further structure activity relationship (SAR) studies. Among the derivatives, (4S,5S)-ethyl 4-(7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-4-oxo-2-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-8-yl)-3-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1 H-furo[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carboxylate (8r) showed most potent cytotoxic activity against all three cancer cell lines. Toxicity studies revealed that the dihydro-1H-furo[2,3-c]pyrazole-flavones are specifically target the cancer cell lines.
