Investigation of inhibitory properties of some hydrazone compounds on hCA I, hCA II and AChE enzymes

Recently, inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (hCA) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) have appeared as a promising approach for pharmacological intervention in a variety of disorders such as glaucoma, epilepsy, obesity, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Keeping this in mind, N,N′-bis[(1-aryl-3-heteroaryl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides, N1-N11, P1, P4-P8, and R1-R6, were synthesized to investigate their inhibitory activity against hCA I, hCA II, and AChE enzymes. All compounds in N, P, and R-series inhibited hCAs (I and II) and AChE more efficiently than the reference compounds acetazolamide (AZA), and tacrine. According to the activity results, the most effective inhibitory compounds were in R-series with the Ki values of 203 ± 55–473 ± 67 nM and 200 ± 34–419 ± 94 nM on hCA I, and hCA II, respectively. N,N′-Bis[1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(morpholine-4-yl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides, N8, in N-series, N,N′-Bis[1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(piperidine-1-yl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides, P4, in P-series, and N,N′-bis[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(pyrrolidine-1-yl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides, R5, in R-series were the most powerful compounds against hCA I with the Ki values of 438 ± 65 nM, 344 ± 64 nM, and 203 ± 55 nM, respectively. Similarly, N8, P4, and R5 efficiently inhibited hCA II isoenzyme with the Ki values of 405 ± 60 nM, 327 ± 80 nM, and 200 ± 34 nM, respectively. On the other hand, P-series compounds had notable inhibitory effect against AChE than the reference compound tacrine and the Ki values were between 66 ± 20 nM and 128 ± 36 nM. N,N′-Bis[1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(piperidine-1-yl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides, P7, was the most potent compound on AChE with the Ki value of 66 ± 20 nM. The other most promising compounds, N,N′-bis[1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(morpholine-4-yl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides, N4 in N-series and N,N′-bis[1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(pyrrolidine-1-yl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides, R4 in R-series were againts AChE with the Ki values of 119 ± 20 nM, 88 ± 14 nM, respectively.

Synthesis of mannich bases by two different methods and evaluation of their acetylcholine esterase and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activities

Background: Mannich bases are an important compounds in medicinal chemistry. They have wide range of biological activities including carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory and acetylcholine esterase inhibitory (AChE) activities. Objective: It was aimed to synthesize Mannich bases, 1-aryl-3-(morpholin-4-yl/piperidin-1-yl)-1- propanone hydrochloride, by microwave irradiation and conventional heating methods to compare the methods in terms of reaction times and yields and to investigate their inhibitory effects on AChE enzyme and CA isoenzymes. Method: Mannich bases were synthesized using conventional heating and microwave irradiation methods under different reaction conditions. Inhibitory effects of the compounds on CA isoenzymes and AChE were evaluated according to literature procedure. Results: IC50 and Ki values of the compounds were evaluated against hCA I, II and AChE. The compounds had more potent or equal Ki values with the references used. Conclusion: This study makes an important contribution to the Mannich base library in terms of synthetic strategy. According to IC50 or Ki values the compounds 6 in Series A with morpholine and and 15 in Series B with piperidine towards both hCA I and/or II isoenzymes and the compounds 4 in Series A and 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 18 in Series B towards AChE seemed the leader compounds of the study.

Synthesis and bioactivity studies of 1-aryl-3-(2-hydroxyethylthio)-1-propanones

A series of Mannich bases having piperidine moiety were reacted with 2-mercaptoethanol, leading to 1-aryl-3-piperidine-4-yl-1-propanone hydrochlorides. The cytotoxicity and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activities of these new compounds were evaluated. Among the compounds, only one derivative, nitro substituent bearing EU9, showed an effective cytotoxicity, although weak tumor specificity against human oral malignant versus nonmalignant cells. The compound induced apoptosis in HSC-2 oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, but not in human gingival fibroblast. Chemical modifications of this lead are thus necessary to further investigate it as a drug candidate and to obtain compounds with a better activity profile.

Synthesis of new N,N′-bis[1-aryl-3-(piperidine-1-yl)propylidene] hydrazine dihydrochlorides and evaluation of their cytotoxicity against human hepatoma and breast cancer cells

N,N0-Bis[1-aryl-3-(piperidine-1-yl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides were synthesized by the reaction of 2 mols of 1-aryl-3-(piperidine-1-yl)-1- propanone hydrochlorides with 1 mol of hydrazine hydrate. Aryl part was C 6H5 (P1), 4-CH3C6H4 (P2), 4-CH3OC6H4 (P3), 4-HOC6H 4 (P4), 4-ClC6H4 (P5), 3-CH3OC 6H4 (P6), 4-FC6H4 (P7) and 4-BrC6H4 (P8). Except P1, all compounds were reported for the first time. The chemical structures were confirmed by UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS spectra. P1, P2, P7 and P8 against human hepatoma (Huh7) cells and P1, P2, P4, P5, P6, P7 and P8 against breast cancer (T47D) cells have shown cytotoxicity. P1, P2 and P7 had more potent cytotoxicity against Huh7 cells than the reference compound 5-FU, whereas only P2 was more potent than the 5-FU against T47D cells. Representative compound P7 inhibited the mitochondrial respiration at 144, 264 and 424 mM concentrations dose-dependantly in liver homogenates. The results suggest that P1, P2, P7 and P8 may serve as model compounds for further synthetic studies.

Isochromanone-based urotensin-II receptor agonists

A series of analogues of the selective non-peptide urotensin II (UII) receptor agonist 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-isochroman-1-one (AC-7954, 1) was synthesized and evaluated for UII agonist activity using a functional cell-based assay. The introduction of a methyl group in the 4-position resulted in a complete loss of activity, whereas substituents in the aromatic rings were beneficial. Sterically demanding amino groups were also detrimental to the activity. Several potent agonists were identified, six compounds being equally or more potent than 1. The most potent compound in the series was the 6,7-dimethyl analogue of 1 (16, pEC50 6.87). The racemate of 16 was resolved into the pure enantiomers using preparative straight phase HPLC. It was shown that the potency resides in the (+)-enantiomer (pEC50 7.11). The synthesized compounds seem to be selective for the UII receptor as no activities were observed at the closely related SSTR3 and 5 receptors.
