A novel series of arylcarbamate-N-acylhydrazones derivatives have been designed and synthesized as potential anti-cholinesterase agents. In vitro studies revealed that these compounds demonstrated selective for butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) with potent inhibitory activity. The compounds 10a-d, 12b and 12d were the most potent BuChE inhibitors with IC50 values of 0.07–2.07 μM, highlighting the compound 10c (IC50 = 0.07 μM) which showed inhibitory activity 50 times greater than the reference drug donepezil (IC50 = 3.54 μM). The activity data indicates that the position of the carbamate group in the aromatic ring has a greater influence on the inhibitory activity of the derivatives. The enzyme kinetics studies indicate that the compound 10c has a non-competitive inhibition against BuChE with Ki value of 0.097 mM. Molecular modeling studies corroborated the in vitro inhibitory mode of interaction and show that compound 10c is stabilized into hBuChE by strong hydrogen bond interaction with Tyr128, π-π stacking interaction with Trp82 and CH?O interactions with His438, Gly121 and Glu197. Based on these data, compound 10c was identified as low-cost promising candidate for a drug prototype for AD treatment.

Glycine-N-methyl transferase (GNMT) downregulation results in spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Overexpression of GNMT inhibits the proliferation of liver cancer cell lines and prevents carcinogen-induced HCC, suggesting that GNMT induction is a potential approach for anti-HCC therapy. Herein, we used Huh7 GNMT promoter-driven screening to identify a GNMT inducer. Compound K78 was identified and validated for its induction of GNMT and inhibition of Huh7 cell growth. Subsequently, we employed structure-activity relationship analysis and found a potent GNMT inducer, K117. K117 inhibited Huh7 cell growth in vitro and xenograft in vivo. Oral administration of a dosage of K117 at 10 mpk (milligrams per kilogram) can inhibit Huh7 xenograft in a manner equivalent to the effect of sorafenib at a dosage of 25 mpk. A mechanistic study revealed that K117 is an MYC inhibitor. Ectopic expression of MYC using CMV promoter blocked K117-mediated MYC inhibition and GNMT induction. Overall, K117 is a potential lead compound for HCC- and MYC-dependent cancers.

A series of hydrazide-hydrazones 1-3, the imine derivatives of hydrazides and aldehydes bearing benzene rings, were screened as inhibitors of laccase from Trametes versicolor. Laccase is a copper-containing enzyme which inhibition might prevent or reduce the activity of the plant pathogens that produce it in various biochemical processes. The kinetic and molecular modeling studies were performed and for selected compounds, the docking results were discussed. Seven 4-hydroxybenzhydrazide (4-HBAH) derivatives exhibited micromolar activity Ki = 24-674 μM with the predicted and desirable competitive type of inhibition. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that a slim salicylic aldehyde framework had a pivotal role in stabilization of the molecules near the substrate docking site. Furthermore, the presence of phenyl and bulky tert-butyl substituents in position 3 in salicylic aldehyde fragment favored strong interaction with the substrate-binding pocket in laccase. Both 3- and 4-HBAH derivatives containing larger 3-tert-butyl-5-methyl- or 3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-benzylidene unit, did not bind to the active site of laccase and, interestingly, acted as non-competitive (Ki = 32.0 μM) or uncompetitive (Ki = 17.9 μM) inhibitors, respectively. From the easily available laccase inhibitors only sodium azide, harmful to environment and non-specific, was over 6 times more active than the above compounds.

Rivastigmine has been prescribed for the therapy of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) symptoms. This drug is classified in the carbamate derivative group that has dual activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). According to the structure of Rivastigmine and its performance, a new series of 5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbamothioate compounds I–XI was synthesized using structure-based drug discovery approaches. For this purpose a set of these compounds were designed with computational docking method and their interactions with amino acid residues in the active sites of AChE and BuChE checked out. The structures of synthesized compounds were established by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The carbamoyl moiety of Rivastigmine structure was modified to carbamothioate and the effects of 1,3,4-oxadiazole heterocycle as a pharmacophoric nucleus were investigated. The potential of the synthesized compounds I–XI was evaluated against two most known agents of AD (AChE and BuChE) to determine their IC50 values. The results of the docking showed the range of binding affinity for the best poses of ten individual conformers for any compounds (I–XI) was between ?7.81 (VI) and ?6.75 (II) kcal/mol. The results of biological experiments displayed that most synthetic compounds (I–VIII) showed moderate to excellent selective activity range against BuChE (0.51–69.44 μM). In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of these compounds (I–XI) by MTT assay on human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cell line exhibited no activity against HDF. The compound VI [S-(5-(p-tolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) ethyl(methyl)carbamothioate] showed the most stable binding affinity (?7.81 kcal/mol) and the lowest IC50 value (0.51 μM) in comparison with Rivastigmine with 7.72 μM and Donepezil with 5.20 μM against BuChE.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting nearly 65–70 million people worldwide. Despite the observed advances in the development of new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), still about 30–40% of patients cannot achieve a satisfactory seizure control. In our current research, we aimed at using the combined results of radioligand binding experiments, PAMPA-BBB assay and animal experimentations in order to design a group of compounds that exhibit broad spectrum of anticonvulsant activity. The synthesized 4-alkyl-5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivatives were primarily screened in the maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES) test in mice. Next, the most promising compounds (17, 22) were investigated in 6 Hz (32 mA) psychomotor seizure model. Protective effect of compound 22 was almost similar to that of levetiracetam. Moreover, these compounds did not induce genotoxic and hemolytic changes in human cells as well as they were characterized by low cellular toxicity. Taking into account the structural requirements for good anticonvulsant activity of 4-alkyl-5-aryl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones, it is visible that small electron-withdrawing substituents attached to phenyl ring have beneficial effects both on affinity towards VGSCs and protective activity in the animal models of epilepsy.

In this work, a series of the rhodamine 6G based derivatives 5a-5g, were synthesized. The structural framework of the synthesized compounds was established by using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and LC-MS analytical methods. The spectroscopic properties of the target compounds were determined by using absorption and fluorescence study in four different solvents. Furthermore, the synthesized derivatives were assessed for in-vitro screening against jack bean urease inhibition and in-silico molecular docking study. The result reveals that all the compounds exhibit good urease inhibitory activity against this enzyme but among the series, the compound 5a & 5c with an IC50 values of 0.1108 ± 0.0038 μM and 0.1136 ± 0.0295 μM shows to be most auspicious inhibitory activity compared to a standard drug (Thiourea) having IC50 value 4.7201 ± 0.0546 μM. Subsequently, the molecular docking experiment was analysed to distinguish the enzyme-inhibitor binding interaction.

Herein, we have designed and synthesized new imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-based aryl hydrazones (9a-w) and evaluated their anti-proliferative potential against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, 9i and 9m elicited promising cytotoxicity against the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values of 1.65 and 1.12 μM, respectively. Cell cycle analysis revealed that 9i and 9m significantly arrest MDA-MB-231 cells in the G0/G1 phase. In addition, detailed biological studies such as annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide, DCFH-DA, JC-1 and DAPI staining assays revealed that 9i and 9m triggered apoptosis in MDA-MB-213 cells. Overall, the current work demonstrated the cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing potential of 9i and 9m in breast cancer cells and suggested that they could be explored as promising antiproliferative leads in the future.
