The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is often found deregulated in cancer. The aberrant accumulation of β-catenin in the cell nucleus results in the development of various malignancies. Specific drugs against this signaling pathway for clinical treatments have not b

A family of compounds typified by an anthranilic amide 1 was identified from a whole-cell screening effort targeted at identifying compounds that disrupt pH homeostasis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 1 demonstrated bactericidal activity against non-replicating M. tuberculosis in pH 4.5 buffer (MBC4.5 = 6.3 μM). Exploration of the structure-activity relations failed to simplify the scaffold. The antitubercular activity proved dependent on the lipophilicity and planarity of the molecule and directly correlated with mammalian cytotoxicity. Further studies revealed a pH-dependent correlation between the family's disruption of M. tuberculosis membrane potential and antitubercular activity, with active compounds causing a drop in membrane potential at concentrations below their MBC4.5. A second compound family, identified in the same screening effort and typified by imidazo(4,5-e)(2,1,3)benzothiadiazole 2, provided a contrasting profile. As with 1, structure-activity profiling of 2 (MBC4.5 = 25 μM) failed to minimize the initial scaffold, mammalian cytotoxicity was observed for a majority of the active compounds, and many of the active compounds disrupted M. tuberculosis membrane potential. However, unlike the anthranilic amide compounds, the benzothiadiazole compounds disrupted M. tuberculosis membrane potential primarily at concentrations above the MBC4.5 in a pH-independent fashion. These differences suggest an alternative mechanism of action for the benzothiadiazole compounds. As a result, while the cytotoxicity of the anthranilic amides limits their utility to tool compounds, benzothiadiazole 2 presents an attractive target for more focused SAR exploration.

An unprecedented deoxygenative arylation of aromatic carboxylic acids has been achieved, allowing the construction of an enhanced library of unsymmetrical diaryl ketones. The synergistic photoredox catalysis and phosphoranyl radical chemistry allows for precise cleavage of a stronger C?O bond and formation of a weaker C?C bond by 1,5-aryl migration under mild reaction conditions. This new protocol is independent of substrate redox-potential, electronic, and substituent effects. It affords a general and promising access to 60 examples of synthetically versatile o-amino and o-hydroxy diaryl ketones under redox-neutral conditions. Furthermore, it also brings one concise route to the total synthesis of quinolone alkaloid, (±)-yaequinolone A2, and a viridicatin derivative in satisfying yields.

Cholinesterase namely, acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase (AChE and BChE, respectively), has been recognized as a primary class of enzyme that hydrolyzes the acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter in synaptic junctions. Diminished levels of the neurotransmitter in synaptic junction lead to Alzheimerís disease (AD). Inhibition of cholinesterase is thus, an attractive strategy for AD treatment. The study includes the synthesis and characterization of a series of 2-, 3- and 4-aminobenzoic acid derivatives (1a?5c), their biological screening against cholinesterase enzyme and molecular docking study to demonstrate putative binding modes. Antioxidant potential of the synthesized series was also determined. The cholinesterase enzyme inhibition assay showed that compound 5b has the highest inhibition potential against acetylcholinesterase with an IC50 value of 1.66 ± 0.03 μM while in case of butyrylcholinesterase, compound 2c has the highest inhibitory potential with an IC50 value of 2.67 ± 0.05 μM. Molecular docking studies supports the results of enzyme inhibition potential with binding energy value ?G = -9.54 Kcal mol-1 for compound 5b in case for acetylcholinesterase while for butyrylcholinesterase, ?G = -5.53 Kcal mol-1 was obtained for compound 2c. The synthesized series of compounds also shows mild to moderate antioxidant potential. The benzoyl- containing compounds shows better antioxidant activity as compared to other derivatives of the synthesized series. Based on the molecular docking studies and enzyme inhibition potential, the synthesized series of compounds can be regarded as potent cholinesterase inhibitors and can be used for designing and synthesizing more potent drugs for Alzheimerís disease and neurodegenerative diseases.
