Abstract: In view of discovering novel bioactive molecules, 1-phenyl-1H-2-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-3-(N-aryl-carbamoylmethylthio)-1,2,4-triazoles (8a–n) were designed and synthesized in good yield. Preliminary antibacterial activity was tested against Chromobacterium violaceum and Xanthomonas campestris pv. Campestris (Xcc). Out of 14 derivatives, compound 8g selectively possessed antibacterial activity against C. violaceum. Further derivatives that possessed an electron-withdrawing group and halogen atoms in N-phenylacetamide moiety were moderately active against Xcc (plant pathogen). After observing the reduction of violacein production through plate assay, compounds 8a, 8c, 8h, 8i and 8m were subjected to quantification of quorum sensing inhibition. Compounds with the electron-withdrawing group in N-phenylacetamide moiety showed admirable activity with > 80% inhibition of violacein. Mainly compound 8c which was inactive against the growth of bacteria were identified as excellent QSI which could be a lead compound for further development.

α-Glucosidase is responsible for glucose release of oligosaccharides and disaccharides in the intestine and increase postprandial hyperglycemia. Inhibition of this enzyme is a beneficial therapeutic method for glycemic control in diabetes. This study deals with the design and synthesis of 4,5-diphenylimidazole-N-phenylacetamide derivatives 7a–l and the screen of these compounds for their potential for α-glucosidase inhibition. All the synthesized compounds exhibited superior α-glucosidase inhibition (IC50 = 90.0–598.5 μM) as compared to standard inhibitor acarbose (IC50 = 750.0 μM). In contrast, these compounds were inactive against α-amylase. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 7h was the most potent inhibitor of this library and was a competitive inhibitor into α-glucosidase with Ki value = 86.3 μM. Docking study of the most potent compounds was performed to evaluate the binding interactions of these compounds with the active site of enzyme and to determine of binding energies of ligand–enzyme complexes. The results of this in silico study are in complete agreement with the results obtained from in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition assay. Docking study of the most potent compound demonstrated that it interacted with important residues in the active site of α-glucosidase. In vitro cytotoxic activity of the most potent compounds and in silico druglikeness/ADME/toxicity study of these compounds were evaluated.

In order to find new and highly effective anti-tumor drugs with targeted therapeutic effects, a series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives containing N-phenylacetamide structure were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against four human cancer cell lines (H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803) using MTT assay. The results showed that the compound 19e had the most potent antiproliferative activity against H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803 cell lines. At the same time, compound 19e could significantly inhibit the colony formation and migration of H1975 cells. Compound 19e also arrested the H1975 cell cycle in the G1 phase and mediated cell apoptosis, promoted the accumulation of ROS in H1975 cells. Furthermore, compound 19e exerted antitumor effect in vitro by reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and increasing the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and p53. Mechanistically, compound 19e could significantly decreased the phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream protein PI3K in H1975 cells. Which indicated that compound 19e targeted H1975 cell via interfering with EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that compound 19e could bind into the active pocket of EGFR. Those work suggested that compound 19e would have remarkable implications for further design of anti-tumor agents.

With the surge in the cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD) over the years, several targets have been explored to curb the disease. Cholinesterases, namely acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), remain to be the available targets that are amendable to currently approved treatments. In this study, a series of novel compounds based on tramiprosate, a highly specific amyloid beta (Aβ) inhibitor, was designed to inhibit AChE, BuChE, and Aβ aggregation. In particular, the addition of a pyridinium/isoquinolinium ring to the tramiprosate moiety (to give compounds 3a–j) led to an increase in the binding affinity for the catalytic active site of cholinesterase, which was hampered by the presence of sulfonic acid. Exclusion of the sulfonic acid moiety led to a novel but effective class of cholinesterase inhibitors (9a–w). in vitro Aβ aggregation inhibition assay indicated that compounds 3a–j, 9e–f, 9i–l, 9q, 9r, 9u–w, and 12 could inhibit over 10% Aβ aggregation at 1 mM concentration. Cholinesterase inhibition assay suggested that compounds 9g, 9h, 9o, and 9q–t exhibit over 70% inhibition on both AChE and BuChE at a concentration of 100 μM. Amongst the designed molecules, compound 9r (ca 18% at 1 mM) showed comparable inhibitory effect on the inhibition of Aβ aggregation with tramiprosate (ca 20% at 1 mM), along with impressive cholinesterase inhibitory potential (AChE IC50 = 13 μM and BuChE IC50 = 12 μM), acceptable toxicity and ability to pass through blood brain barrier, which could be used to ameliorate the phenotypes of AD in preclinical models.

Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are recommended components of preferred combination antiretroviral therapies used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. These regimens are extremely effective in suppressing virus replication. Recently, our research group identified some N1-aryl-2-arylthioacetamido-benzimidazoles as a novel class of NNRTIs. In this research work we report the design, the synthesis and the structure–activity relationship studies of new compounds (20–34) in which some structural modifications have been introduced in order to investigate their effects on reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition and to better define the features needed to increase the antiviral activity. Most of the new compounds proved to be highly effective in inhibiting both RT enzyme at nanomolar concentrations and HIV-1 replication in MT4 cells with minimal cytotoxicity. Among them, the most promising N1-aryl-2-arylthioacetamido-benzimidazoles and N1-aryl-2-aryloxyacetamido-benzimidazoles were also tested toward a panel of single- and double-mutants strain responsible for resistance to NNRTIs, showing in vitro antiviral activity toward single mutants L100I, K103N, Y181C, Y188L and E138K. The best results were observed for derivatives 29 and 33 active also against the double mutants F227L and V106A. Computational approaches were applied in order to rationalize the potency of the new synthesized inhibitors.

N-(2-trifluoromethyl-4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxocyclohexyl sulfonamide (chesulfamide) is in the limelight as a novel fungicide, and has fungicidal activity against Botrytis cinerea. For exploring more novel structures, 33 new compounds were synthesized by N-alkylation and acid–amine coupling reactions with chesulfamide as the core moiety, and their structures were characterized and established by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. The structure of (1R,2S)-2-(2-(N-(4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)sulfamoyl)-cyclohexylamino)-N-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl) acetamide (II-19) was defined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The in vivo and in vitro fungicidal activities against B. cinerea were evaluated. The bioassay results of mycelial growth demonstrated that most compounds exhibited excellent inhibitory activity against B. cinerea at 50 μg mL?1, and 7 compounds showed lower EC50 values than boscalid (EC50 = 4.46 μg mL?1) against B. cinerea (CY-09). In cucumber pot experiment, the inhibitory rates of four compounds (II-4, II-5, II-12, and II-13) against B. cinerea were 90.48, 93.45, 92.86, and 91.07, which were better than cyprodinil (88.69%), the best performing of all controls. In tomato pot experiment, the control efficacy of two analogs (II-8 and II-15) were 87.98 and 87.97% at 200 μg mL?1, which were significantly higher than boscalid (78.10%). Most compounds have an excellent fungicidal effect on B. cinerea, with potential as a lead compound for developing new pesticides.

A novel series of acridine linked to thioacetamides 9a–o were synthesized and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory and cytotoxic activities. All the synthesized compounds exhibited excellent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in the range of IC50 = 80.0 ± 2.0–383.1 ± 2.0 μM against yeast α-glucosidase, when compared to the standard drug acarbose (IC50 = 750.0 ± 1.5 μM). Among the synthesized compounds, 2-((6-chloro-2-methoxyacridin-9-yl)thio)-N-(p-tolyl) acetamide 9b displayed the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 80.0 ± 2.0 μM). The in vitro cytotoxic assay of compounds 9a–o against MCF-7 cell line revealed that only the compounds 9d, 9c, and 9n exhibited cytotoxic activity. Cytotoxic compounds 9d, 9c, and 9n did not show cytotoxic activity against the normal human cell lines HDF. Kinetic study revealed that the most potent compound 9b is a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 85 μM. Furthermore, the interaction modes of the most potent compounds 9b and 9f with α-glucosidase were evaluated through the molecular docking studies.

Abstract: In our pursuit to expand new potential anticancer leads, a series of eighteen novel 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(4-substituted piperazin-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid analogues have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated anti-proliferative activity against five human cancer cell lines such as A549 (lung cancer), Mia Paca (pancreatic cancer), HeLa (cervical cancer), MDA MB-231 (breast cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer) and normal embryonic kidney?cell line (HEK) were carried out using MTT assay. Few of the synthesized analogues exhibited potent anticancer activity against the cancer cell lines at a lower concentration. The synthesized compounds showed the less toxic effect on normal human embryonic kidney?cell line (HEK) compared with doxorubicin. Noticeably, compound 3o exhibited potent activity against all five cancer cell lines compared with ciprofloxacin. Further study exposed that compound 3o could competently intercalate into calf thymus DNA to form 3o-DNA complex which might block DNA replication to apply anti-proliferative activity. Docking simulation studies supported by molecular interactions with DNA type II topoisomerase. These derivates can become lead structures for the development of potential anticancer drugs. Graphical Abstract: Eighteen CP analogues were synthesized and evaluated for anti-proliferative activity. The interactions with DNA topoisomerase II were supported by molecular docking studies. 3o showed promising anticancer activity than CP against MCF7 cell line and interaction with calf thymus DNA was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

A series of 6-bromo-2,3-dioxoindolin phenylacetamide derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against CDC25B and PTP1B. Most of the synthesized compounds showed potential inhibitory activities for CDC25B and PTP1B with compound 12 being the most potent (IC50=3.87μmol/L and 2.98 μmol/L, respectively). Compound 12 also exhibited higher cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines (HeLa, A549 and HCT116). In addition, compound 12 delayed the potent tumor inhibitory activity in a colo205 xenograft model in vivo.

A series of novel N1-aryl-2-arylthioacetamido-benzimidazoles were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). Some of them proved to be effective in inhibiting HIV-1 replication at submicromolar and nanomolar concentration acting as HIV-1 non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs), with low cytotoxicity. The preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these new derivatives was discussed and rationalized by docking studies.
