Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 1-Aryl-5-(4-arylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)-1H-tetrazols as novel microtubule destabilizers

A series of 1-aryl-5-(4-arylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)-1H-tetrazols as microtubule destabilizers were designed, synthesised and evaluated for anticancer activity. Based on bioisosterism, we introduced the tetrazole moiety containing the hydrogen-bond acceptors as B-ring of XRP44X analogues. The key intermediates ethyl 1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylates 10 can be simply and efficiently prepared via a microwave-assisted continuous operation process. Among the compounds synthesised, compound 6–31 showed noteworthy potency against SGC-7901, A549 and HeLa cell lines. In mechanism studies, compound 6–31 inhibited tubulin polymerisation and disorganised microtubule in SGC-7901 cells by binding to tubulin. Moreover, compound 6–31 arrested SGC-7901cells in G2/M phase. This study provided a new perspective for development of antitumor agents that target tubulin.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of antiproliferative and antitubulin activities of 5-methyl-4-aryl-3-(4-arylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazoles

A series of novel 5-methyl-4-aryl-3-(4-arylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazoles possessing 1,2,4-triazole as the hydrogen-bond acceptor were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative and tubulin polymerization inhibitory activities. Some of them exhibited moderate activities in vitro against the three cancer cell lines including SGC-7901, A549 and HeLa. Compound 6e exhibited the highest potency against the three cancer cell lines. Moreover, the tubulin polymerization experiments indicated that compound 6e could inhibit the tubulin polymerization. Immunofluorescence study and cell cycle analysis clearly revealed compound 6e could disrupt intracellular microtubule organization, arrest cell cycle at the G2/M phase. In addition, molecular docking analysis demonstrated the interaction of compound 6e at the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. These preliminary results suggested that compound 6e is a new colchicine binding site inhibitor and worthy of further investigation.

Visible light-mediated photocatalytic oxidative cleavage of activated alkynes: Via hydroamination: A direct approach to oxamates

The direct oxidative cleavage of activated alkynes via hydroamination has been described using organic photocatalyst under visible-light irradiation at room temperature. In this reaction, the single electron oxidation of an in situ formed enamine followed by radical coupling with an oxidant finally delivers the oxamate. The key features of this photocatalytic reaction are the mild reaction conditions, metal-free organic dye as a photocatalyst, and TBHP playing a dual role as O source and for the regeneration of the photocatalyst.

Structure-activity relationship study of a series of caspase inhibitors containing γ-amino acid moiety for treatment of cholestatic liver disease

A series of caspase inhibitors containing γ-amino acid moiety have been synthesized. A systemic study on their structure-activity relationship of anti-apoptotic cellular activity is presented. These efforts led to the discovery of compound 20o as a potent caspase inhibitor, which demonstrated preclinical ameliorating total bilirubin efficacy with a significantly improved pharmacokinetic profile.

Discovery of Cytochrome P450 4F11 Activated Inhibitors of Stearoyl Coenzyme A Desaturase

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) catalyzes the first step in the conversion of saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are required for membrane integrity and for cell proliferation. For these reasons, inhibitors of SCD represent potential treatments for cancer. However, systemically active SCD inhibitors result in skin toxicity, which presents an obstacle to their development. We recently described a series of oxalic acid diamides that are converted into active SCD inhibitors within a subset of cancers by CYP4F11-mediated metabolism. Herein, we describe the optimization of the oxalic acid diamides and related N-acyl ureas and an analysis of the structure-activity relationships related to metabolic activation and SCD inhibition.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel oxalamido derivatives as caspase-3 inhibitors

A new series of 5-fluoro-3-[(4-substituted-phenylaminooxalyl)-amino]-4-oxo- pentanoic acid, 7a-c, 3-[(4-substitutedphenylaminooxalyl)- amino]-4-oxo-5-(2,3, 5,6-tetrafluoro-phenoxy)-pentanoic acid, 7d-h and 5-(2,6-difluoro-phenoxy)-3- [(substituted-phenylaminooxalyl)-amino]-4-oxo-pentanoic acid, 7i-p have been synthesized from N-(substituted-phenyl)- oxalamic acid, 1 and their activities have been evaluated in vitro. Compounds 7b,c and k show low micromolar inhibitory activity against caspase-3.

Chemical hybridizing agents for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.): Leads from QSAR analysis of ethyl oxanilates and pyridones

In the self-pollinated crops such as chickpea, induction of male sterility by deployment of chemical hybridizing agents (CHAs) facilitating "two-line" approach holds immense potential in heterosis breeding. A total of 40 test CHAs comprising 20 ethyl oxanilates and 20 pyridones were screened as potential CHAs on chickpea (variety BG 1088) at 500, 800, and 1000 ppm. Three test compounds mostly having either F (4)/Br (5)/CF3 (19) at the para position of the aryl ring from a pool of 20 ethyl oxanilates were identified as the most potent CHAs causing >99% induction of pollen sterility and >90% total flower sterility at 1000-ppm test concentration. Among pyridone derivatives, N-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-carbethoxy-4,6-dimethyl, 1,2-dihydropyrid-2-one (26) was found to be the most active. Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) analysis has revealed a direct involvement of Swain-Lupton field constant, Fp, with the target bioactivity which implied that field rather than resonance effect (R) had a positive effect on the activity. The real guiding principle for selectivity was found out to be the hydrophobic parameter π value. The QSAR models indicated that increased steric bulk at the 4-position on the phenyl ring is associated with enhanced activity. The CHAs appeared to act by mimicking UDP-glucose, the key substrate in the synthesis of callose, or lead to an imbalance in acid-base equilibrium in pollen mother cells resulting in dissolution of callose wall by premature callase secretion.

Synthesis and dynamic NMR study of fluorinated dialkyl 2-[(tert-butylimino) -methylene]-3-[(2-alkoxy-2-oxoacetyl)-2-fluoroanilino]-succinates

The 1:1 adduct produced in the reaction between tert-butyl isocyanide and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates was trapped by alkyl 2-fluoro-anilino-2-oxo- acetates or ethyl 2-oxo-2-(trifluoromethylanilino)-acetate to produce functionalised ketenimines in good

Synthesis of fluorinated dialkyl 1-aryl-4-alkoxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H- pyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylates

Alkyl 2-(2-fluoro-anilino)-2-oxo-acetates or ethyl 2-oxo-2- (trifluoromethylanilino)-acetate undergo a multistep reaction with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of triphenylphosphine to produce dialkyl 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-alkoxy-5-oxo-2,5-d

Synthesis and quantitative structure-activity relationships of oxanilates as chemical hybridizing agents for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Chemical hybridizing agents (CHAs) can facilitate two-line breeding in heterosis programs of crops. Twenty-seven oxanilates having different aromatic substitutions were synthesized and screened as CHAs on two genotypes of wheat, PBW 343 and HD 2733, during two Rabi (winter) seasons, 2000-01 and 2001-02. The oxanilates prepared by thermal condensation of anilines with diethyl oxalate or by acylation with ethoxycarbonyl methanoyl chloride were sprayed at 1000 and 1500 ppm at the premeiotic stage of wheat, when the length of the emerging spike of the first node was 7-8 mm. Pollen sterility and spikelet sterility were measured in each treatment. Ethyl oxanilates 5, 6, and 25, containing 4-F, 4-Br, and 4-CF3 aromatic substituents, respectively, induced greater than 98% spikelet sterility, the desired level, at 1500 ppm. Quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis revealed a direct relationship between Fp and molecular mass but an inverse relationship between MR, Es, and R in influencing the bioactivity. Several F1 hybrids were developed using 5, and at least one showed heterosis.
