The preparation of a small library of new –N–C–C(O)–N(H)– modified ditertiary phosphines is reported along with their square-planar dichloroplatinum(II) complexes. All compounds were characterized by 31P{1H} and 1H NMR spectroscopy, FT–IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The single crystal X-ray structures of four PtII complexes have been determined. Intra- (N–H···N) and intermolecular (N–H···N) hydrogen bonding is principally observed.

Although gastric cancer has become a major public health problem, oral agents applied in clinics for gastric cancer therapy are scarce. Therefore, to explore new oral chemical entities with high efficiency and low toxicity, 41 o-aminobenzamide derivatives based on the scaffolds of MS-275 and SAHA were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anti-gastric cancer abilities in vitro and in vivo. Structure-activity relationships were discussed, leading to the identification of compounds F8 (IC50 = 0.28 μM against HGC-27 cell) and T9 (IC50 = 1.84 μM against HGC-27 cell) with improved cytotoxicity, anti-gastric cancer proliferation potency, induction of cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest ability, inhibition of cell migration and invasion. What is worth mentioning is that compound F8 was more efficient and less toxic than the positive drug capecitabine in vivo on the HGC-27-xenograft model. Meanwhile, compound F8 exhibited suitable pharmacokinetic properties and less acute toxicity (LD50 > 1000 mg/kg). Besides, western blotting analysis, IHC analysis, differentially expressed proteins analysis and ABPP experiment indicated that compound F8 could modulate molecular pathways involved in apoptosis and cell cycle progression. Consequently, compound F8 is a strong candidate for the development of human gastric cancer therapy.

The increasing emergence of malaria drug-resistant parasites and the deficiency in effective chemotherapy for trypanosomiasis represents a huge challenge in infectious disease treatment in tropical regions. As regards to developing effective antiprotozoal agents, ten new ile-gly dipeptide sulphonamide derivatives were synthesized by condensing compound (10) with (8a-j)using peptide coupling reagents. Compounds11b, 11i and 11j were most potent in clearing Trypanosome brucei in mice with 11b showing comparable activity with diminazene aceturate. In the antimalarial study, 11b was the most active compound, even better than the standard. Molecular docking result suggests good interaction between the reported compounds and the target protein. The results of haematological analysis, liver and kidney function tests showed that the compounds had no adverse effect on the blood and organs. Compound 11b stands out amongst the derivatives haven shown better activity in both the antimalarial and antitrypanosomal assay.

In the tropics, malaria is among the most serious infectious diseases in developing countries. The discovery of the artemesinin antimalarial drug not too long ago was a major breakthrough in the effort to combat the malaria disease. However, recent reports of resistance even to combination therapy involving artemisinin are very worrisome and have led to the search for new chemical agents to sustain the fight against malaria. The carboxamide functionality has been shown to be an important pharmacophore in over 25% of commercial chemotherapeutic agents. Three benzensulphonamides (3a-c) were prepared from the reaction of the appropriate benzensulphonyl chloride (1a-c) and alanine (2) in aqueous basic medium. Eight tert-butylamino-oxo-ethylcarbamates (5a-h) were also prepared from reacting commercially available boc-glycine (4) and different amines using peptide coupling reagents such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), with triethyl amine and dichloromethane (DCM) as solvents. The target compounds were prepared by reacting compounds 3a-c with compounds 5a-h in the presence of coupling reagents to get twenty four (24) different compounds. The compounds were characterized and evaluated for their antiplasmodial activity. Computed molecular descriptors and assessed biochemical parameters showed that the compounds were drug-like and safe. All the compounds had favourable binding interactions with residues at the PABA binding site of homologically modeled P. falciparum dihydropteroate synthase and henceforward the in vitro and in vivo antiplasmodial activities were evaluated. Compounds 7a-7x showed activity against P. falciparum (W2 strain) at MIC values ranging from 3.52 to 0.09 μM. Moreover, seven of the compounds (7c, 7d, 7i, 7j, 7p, 7r and 7s) showed better activity than quinine (MIC = 0.72 μM). In addition, 16 of the 24 compounds were found to clear more than 50 percent of P. berghei (NK-65 strain) from the blood of infected mice at 12 days post-infection. The percentages of parasites cleared by 20 mg kg-1 of the three most effective compounds (7g, 7n and 7r) were 74.98, 74.98 and 74.07, respectively. In conclusion, 7r (MIC 0.71 μM) from this class of glycine derived sulfonamides has the ability to clear 74.07% of P. berghei from blood of infected mice at 20 mg kg-1 and an interesting pharmacokinetic profile (MW = 430.31 Da, HBA = 7, HBD = 3, log?P = 2.56, NRB = 9 and TPSA = 104.37 ?2), which is in agreement with the Lipinski rule of 5 for a compound to be qualified as a drug candidate. 7r could serve as a lead in developing new antiplasmodial agents.

Ten novel phenylalanine-glycine dipeptide sulphonamide conjugate were synthesized and characterized using 1HNMR, 13CNMR, FTIR and HRMS spectroscopic techniques. The in silico studies predicted better interactions of compounds with target protein residues and a higher dock score in comparison with standard drugs. The in vivo antimalarial study, hematological study, liver and kidney function test were evaluated on the synthesized compounds. Compounds 7h, 7i and 7j inhibited the parasite by 34.5–60.2% on day 4 of after-treatment exposure. Compound 7j inhibited the multiplication of the parasite by 60.2% on day 4 of after-treatment which was comparable with that of the standard drug with 68.8% inhibition at same day of after-treatment exposure.

In our overall goal to overcome the limitations associated with natural products for the management of Alzheimer's disease and to develop in-vivo active multifunctional cholinergic inhibitors, we embarked on the development of ferulic acid analogs. A systematic SAR study to improve upon the cholinesterase inhibition of ferulic acid with analogs that also had lower logP was carried out. Enzyme inhibition and kinetic studies identified compound 7a as a lead molecule with preferential acetylcholinesterase inhibition (AChE IC50 = 5.74 ± 0.13 μM; BChE IC50 = 14.05 ± 0.10 μM) compared to the parent molecule ferulic acid (% inhibition of AChE and BChE at 20 μM, 15.19 ± 0.59 and 19.73 ± 0.91, respectively). Molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that 7a fits well into the active sites of AChE and BChE, forming stable and strong interactions with key residues Asp74, Trp286, and Tyr337 in AChE and with Tyr128, Trp231, Leu286, Ala328, Phe329, and Tyr341 in BChE. Compound 7a was found to be an efficacious antioxidant in a DPPH assay (IC50 = 57.35 ± 0.27 μM), and it also was able to chelate iron. Data from atomic force microscopy images demonstrated that 7a was able to modulate aggregation of amyloid β1-42. Upon oral administration, 7a exhibited promising in-vivo activity in the scopolamine-induced AD animal model and was able to improve spatial memory in cognitive deficit mice in the Y-maze model. Analog 7a could effectively reverse the increased levels of AChE and BChE in scopolamine-treated animals and exhibited potent ex-vivo antioxidant properties. These findings suggest that 7a can act as a lead molecule for the development of naturally-inspired multifunctional molecules for the management of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play important roles in many diseases including cancer. With moderate metal-binding affinity, 8-hydroxyquinoline has gained much interest in current drug design and development. Specially, it has been reported that 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives serve as MMP-2 inhibitors with micromolar IC50 values. In the current study, a series of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives were designed and synthesized as new MMP-2 and MMP-9 inhibitors. The most active compounds 5e and 5h not only displayed good inhibitory activities against MMP-2/9 with IC50 at submicromolar level, but also possessed potent anti-proliferative, anti-invasive and anti-angiogenesis activity in A549 cell line. Western blot also revealed that 5e and 5h down-regulate the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in A549 cell line. Moreover, flow cytometry analysis indicated that compound 5e could promote apoptosis of A549 cells in vitro. Molecular docking analysis also revealed favorable binding modes of 5e in the active sites of MMP-2 and MMP-9.
