Over the past few decades, an increasing variety of molecular chaperones have been investigated for their role in tumorigenesis and as potential chemotherapeutic targets; however, the 60 kDa Heat Shock Protein (HSP60), along with its HSP10 co-chaperone, have received little attention in this regard. In the present study, we investigated two series of our previously developed inhibitors of the bacterial homolog of HSP60/10, called GroEL/ES, for their selective cytotoxicity to cancerous over non-cancerous colorectal cells. We further developed a third “hybrid” series of analogs to identify new candidates with superior properties than the two parent scaffolds. Using a series of well-established HSP60/10 biochemical screens and cell-viability assays, we identified 24 inhibitors (14%) that exhibited > 3-fold selectivity for targeting colorectal cancer over non-cancerous cells. Notably, cell viability EC50 results correlated with the relative expression of HSP60 in the mitochondria, suggesting a potential for this HSP60-targeting chemotherapeutic strategy as emerging evidence indicates that HSP60 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer tumors. Further examination of five lead candidates indicated their ability to inhibit the clonogenicity and migration of colorectal cancer cells. These promising results are the most thorough analysis and first reported instance of HSP60/10 inhibitors being able to selectively target colorectal cancer cells and highlight the potential of the HSP60/10 chaperonin system as a viable chemotherapeutic target.

Pyrazolecarboxamide fungicides are one of the most important classes of agricultural fungicides, which belong to succinodehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIS). To discover new pyrazolecarboxamide analogues with broad spectrum and high activity, a class of new compounds of pyrazole carboxamide derivatives containing thiazole or oxazole ring were designed by scaffold hopping and bioisosterism, and 36 pyrazole carboxamide derivatives with antifungal activity were synthesized. Those compounds were evaluated against five phytopathogenic fungi, Gibberella zeae, Phytophythora capsici, Sclerotonia sclerotiorum, Erysiphe graminis and Puccinia sorghi. The results indicated that most of the compounds displayed good fungicidal activities, especially against E. graminis. Theoretical calculations were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level and the full geometry optimization was carried out using the 6-31G (d, p) basis set, and the frontier orbital energy, atomic net charges, molecular docking were discussed, and the structure-activity relationships were also studied.

A series of novel 1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide compounds containing the phenyl thiazole moiety were designed and synthesized by a facile method, and their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Bioassay results showed that most of the title compounds showed potent fungicidal activities against Erysiphe graminis and insecticidal activity against Aphis fabae. Especially, compound 9b has EC50 values of 3.04 mg/L against Erysiphe graminis, of which the fungicidal activity is better than that of the commercial fungicide Thifluzamide and Azoxystrobinare; compound 9l has LC50 values of 3.81 mg/L against Aphis fabae, which was comparable with the commercial insecticide Tolfenpyrad. It is suggested that 1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide compounds containing the phenyl thiazole moiety could be considered as a precursor structure for further design of pesticides.
