New anti-inflammatory agents possessing dual cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase (COX/LOX) inhibition were discovered by computer-aided prediction of biological activity for 573 virtually designed chemical compounds. Prediction of biological activity was performed by PASS, and prediction results were analyzed with PharmaExpert software. Nine 2-(thiazole-2-ylamino)-5-phenylidene-4- thiazolidinone derivatives differing by the phenyl group substitution were selected for synthesis and experimental testing as potential COX/LOX inhibitors. Eight tested compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenin-induced paw edema. It was shown that seven tested compounds (77.8%) were LOX inhibitors, seven compounds were COX inhibitors (77.8%), and six tested compounds (66.7%) were dual COX/LOX inhibitors. Analysis of lipophilicity of the compounds showed a negative correlation with inhibition of edema formation. The binding modes of the most active compounds of this series (2-(thiazole-2-ylamino)-5-(m-chlorophenylidene)-4-thiazolidinone for COX-1 and COX-2, and 2-(thiazole-2-ylamino)-5-(m-nitrophenylidene)-4-thiazolidinone for 15-LOX) were proposed on the basis of docking studies.

VEGFR-2 is a tyrosine kinase receptor for VEGFs that play a central role in tumor angiogenesis. The inhibition of the tyrosine kinase domain of VEGFR-2 has become an attractive therapeutic strategy in recent years for inhibiting tumor growth. In this study, a series of novel 2-oxoquinoxalinyl-1,2,4-triazoles were designed and synthesized as potential antitumor agents and VEGFR-2 inhibitors. Eight compounds in this series showed high growth inhibition against MCF-7 with GI50 ranging from 1.6 to 8.06 μM compared to staurosporine (GI50 = 8.39 μM) and sorafenib (GI50 = 11.20 μM). In addition, the results of the in vitro tyrosine kinase inhibition of VEGFR-2 revealed that most of the compounds possessed IC50 values in the sub-micromolar range. Compound 6g (IC50 = 0.037 μM) showed more potent VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity than sorafenib (IC50 = 0.045 μM). Furthermore, docking studies of the compounds with tyrosine kinase domain of VEGFR-2 (PDB ID: 4ASD) were performed. According to the results, 6g exhibited hydrogen bonding interactions with Glu885, Asp1046 and Cys919 amino acids in a similar way to sorafenib. Finally, physicochemical predictions of target compounds were examined in silico. The results revealed that all the compounds possessed promising drug-likeness profile.

MRSA infection is one of the alarming diseases in the current scenario. Identifying newer molecules to treat MRSA infection is of urgent need. In the present study, we have designed fluorinated thiazolidinone derivatives with various aryl/heteroaryl units at 5th position of the thiazolidinone core as promising anti-MRSA agents. All the compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against four bacterial strains. Among the tested compounds, the halogenated compounds with simple arylidene ring, (5Z)-5-[(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)methylidene]-2-[(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)amino]-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-one (4b), (5Z)-5-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)methylidene]-2-[(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)amino]-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-one (4c), (5Z)-5-[(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)methylidene]-2-[(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)amino]-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-one (4f) and (5Z)-5-[(3,5-difluorophenyl)methylidene]-2-[(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)amino]-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-one (4g) showed excellent activity with MIC 3.125–6.25 μg/mL against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa organism. Furthermore, these potent compounds were screened against MRSA strains, ESKAPE panel organism, and H37Rv mycobacterium strain. Compounds 4c (MIC 0.39 μg/mL), and 4f (MIC 0.39 and 0.79 μg/mL) displayed promising activity against MRSA strains (ATCC and clinical isolates, respectively). The most potent compounds, 4c and 4f eradicated the growth of bacterial colonies in a time-kill assay indicated that these are bactericidal in nature. The preliminary toxicity study of the potent molecules revealed that these compounds are non-hemolytic in nature as they did not induce lysis in human RBCs. In addition, the molecular docking and dynamics studies of compounds 4b, 4c, 4f and 4g were carried out on MurB protein of S. aureus (PDB code: 1HSK). Docking results demonstrated remarkable hydrogen bonding interaction with key amino acids ARG310, ASN83, GLY79 and π-π interactions with TYR149 which confirm the mode of action of the molecules.

Infections due to Gram-negative bacteria are increasingly dangerous due to the spread of multi-drug resistant strains, emphasizing the urgent need for new antibiotics with alternative modes of action. We have previously identified a novel class of antibacterial agents, thioacetamide-triazoles, using an antifolate targeted screen and determined their mode of action which is dependent on activation by cysteine synthase A. Herein, we report a detailed examination of the anti-E. coli structure–activity relationship of the thioacetamide-triazoles. Analogs of the initial hit compounds were synthesized to study the contribution of the aryl, thioacetamide, and triazole sections. A clear structure–activity relationship was observed generating compounds with excellent inhibition values. Substitutions to the aryl ring were generally best tolerated, including the introduction of thiazole and pyridine heteroaryl systems. Substitutions to the central thioacetamide linker section were more nuanced; the introduction of a methyl branch to the thioacetamide linker substantially decreased antibacterial activity, but the isomeric propionamide and N-benzamide systems retained activity. Changes to the triazole portion of the molecule dramatically decreased the antibacterial activity, further indicating that 1,2,3-triazole is critical for potency. From these studies, we have identified new lead compounds with desirable in-vitro ADME properties and in-vivo pharmacokinetic properties.

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling pathway and has been validated as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes. A wide variety of scaffolds have been included in the structure of PTP1B inhibitors, one of them is the benzimidazole nucleus. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a new series of di- and tri- substituted benzimidazole derivatives including their kinetic and structural characterization as PTP1B inhibitors and hypoglycemic activity. Results show that compounds 43, 44, 45, and 46 are complete mixed type inhibitors with a Ki of 12.6 μM for the most potent (46). SAR type analysis indicates that a chloro substituent at position 6(5), a β-naphthyloxy at position 5(6), and a p-benzoic acid attached to the linker 2-thioacetamido at position 2 of the benzimidazole nucleus, was the best combination for PTP1B inhibition and hypoglycemic activity. In addition, molecular dynamics studies suggest that these compounds could be potential selective inhibitors from other PTPs such as its closest homologous TCPTP, SHP-1, SHP-2 and CDC25B. Therefore, the compounds reported here are good hits that provide structural, kinetic, and biological information that can be used to develop novel and selective PTP1B inhibitors based on benzimidazole scaffold.

Epigenetics plays a fundamental role in cancer progression, and developing agents that regulate epigenetics is crucial for cancer management. Among Class I and Class II HDACs, HDAC8 is one of the essential epigenetic players in cancer progression. Therefore, we designed, synthesized, purified, and structurally characterized novel compounds containing N-substituted TZD (P1-P25). Cell viability assay of all compounds on leukemic cell lines (CEM, K562, and KCL22) showed the cytotoxic potential of P8, P9, P10, P12, P19, and P25. In-vitro screening of different HDACs isoforms revealed that P19 was the most potent and selective inhibitor for HDAC8 (IC50 – 9.3 μM). Thermal shift analysis (TSA) confirmed the binding of P19 to HDAC8. In-vitro screening of all compounds on the transport activity of GLUT1, GLUT4, and GLUT5 indicated that P19 inhibited GLUT1 (IC50 – 28.2 μM). P10 and P19 induced apoptotic cell death in CEM cells (55.19% and 60.97% respectively) and P19 was less cytotoxic on normal WBCs (CC50 – 104.2 μM) and human fibroblasts (HS27) (CC50 – 105.0 μM). Thus, among this novel series of TZD derivatives, compound P19 was most promising HDAC8 inhibitor and cytotoxic on leukemic cells. Thus, P19 could serve as a lead for further development of optimized molecules with enhanced selectivity and potency.

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb) infections compels new treatment strategies, of which targeting trans-translation is promising. During the trans-translation process, the ribosomal protein S1 (RpsA) plays a key role, and the Ala438 mutant is related to pyrazinamide (PZA) resistance, which shows its effects after being hydrolysed to pyrazinoic acid (POA). In this study, based on the structure of the RpsA C-terminal domain (RpsA-CTD) and POA complex, new compounds were designed. After being synthesized, the compounds were tested in vitro with saturation transfer difference (STD), fluorescence quenching titration (FQT) and chemical shift perturbation (CSP) experiments. Finally, six of the 17 new compounds have high affinity for both RpsA-CTD and its Ala438 deletion mutant. The active compounds provide new choices for targeting trans-translation in Mtb, and the analysis of the structure-activity relationships will be helpful for further structural modifications based on derivatives of 2-((hypoxanthine-2-yl)thio)acetic acid and 2-((5-hydroxylflavone-7-yl)oxy)acetamide.
