A new series of benzothiazole Schiff bases 3-29 was synthesized and screened for antitumor activity against cervical cancer (Hela) and kidney fibroblast cancer (COS-7) cell lines. Results indicated that compounds 3, 14, 19, 27 and 28 have promising activity against Hela cell line with IC50 values of 2.41, 3.06, 6.46, 2.22 and 6.25 μmol/L, respectively, in comparison to doxorubicin as a reference antitumor agent (IC50 2.05 μmol/L). In addition, compound 3 displayed excellent activity against COS-7 cell line with IC50 value of 4.31 μmol/L in comparison to doxorubicin (IC50 3.04 μmol/L). In the present work, structure based pharmacophore mapping, molecular docking, protein-ligand interaction, fingerprints and binding energy calculations were employed in a virtual screening strategy to identify the interaction between the compounds and the active site of the putative target, EGFR tyrosine kinase. Molecular properties, toxicity, drug-likeness, and drug score profiles of compounds 3, 14, 19, 27, 28 and 29 were also assessed.

Triapine, an iron chelator that inhibits ribonucleotide reductase, has been evaluated in clinical trials for cancer treatment. Triapine in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents shows promising efficacy in certain hematologic malignancies; however, it is less effective against many advanced solid tumors, probably due to the unsatisfactory potency and pharmacokinetic properties. In this report, we developed a triapine derivative IC25 (10) with potent antitumor activity. 10 Preferentially inhibited the proliferation of hematopoietic cancers by inducing mitochondria reactive oxygen species production and mitochondrial dysfunction. Unlike triapine, 10 executed cytotoxic action in a copper-dependent manner. 10-Induced up-expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein resulted in decreased thioredoxin activity to permit c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 activation and ultimately led to the execution of the cell death program. Remarkedly, 10 showed good bioavailability and inhibited tumor growth in mouse xenograft models. Taken together, our study identifies compound 10 as a copper-dependent antitumor agent, which may be applied to the treatment of hematopoietic cancers.

A series of 2-anilinopyridyl linked benzothiazole-hydrazone conjugates (5a-aa) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic potency against a panel of cancer cell lines like mouse skin melanoma (B16F10), lung adenocarcinoma (A549), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), triple negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and normal lung epithelial (L132) cell lines. Preliminary screening results revealed that some of these conjugates like 5i and 5l exhibited a significant antiproliferative effect against human breast cancer (MCF-7) with IC50 values of 1.03 and 1.69 μM respectively. Further, detailed biological studies of this promising conjugate (5i) were carried out on MCF-7 cells. The flow cytometric analysis revealed that this conjugate induces cell-cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, in order to determine the effect of the conjugate on cell viability, various cell based assays such as clonogenic assay, ethidium bromide staining, Hoechst staining, detection of ROS generation and annexin V-FITC/PI assays were performed. In these studies, apoptotic features were clearly observed indicating that this conjugate inhibited cell proliferation by apoptosis.

Piperine is an alkaloid responsible for the pungency of black pepper. In this study, piperine isolated from Piper nigrum L. was hydrolyzed under basic condition to obtain piperic acid and was used as precursor to carry out the synthesis of twenty piperine derivatives containing benzothiazole moiety. All the benzothiazole derivatives were evaluated for their antidiabetic potential by OGT test followed by assessment of active derivatives on STZ-induced diabetic model. It was observed that nine of twenty novel piperine analogues (5b, 6a-h), showed significantly higher antidiabetic activity in comparison with rosiglitazone (standard). Furthermore, these active derivatives were evaluated for their action as PPAR-γ agonists demonstrating their mechanism of action. The effects on body weight, lipid peroxidation, and hepatotoxicity after administration with active derivatives were also studied to further establish these derivatives as lead molecules for treatment of diabetes with lesser side-effects.

A novel series of fluorinated 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazoles was synthesized by fusion of proven antifungal lead 1,2,4-triazole with flourinated benzothiazole nucleus exploiting lead hybridization strategy. Their in vitro antifungal assay against various phytopathogenic fungi revealed that a 2- or 3-chlorinated aryl group at the 3-position of the fused system yielded outstanding and remarkable results of fungitoxicity. Compounds 3b and 3c were found to inflict the best fungitoxicity against most of the test fungi (EC50 value as low as 0.24 mmoles/L) with results better than or comparable to standards. In silico molecular docking and Lipinskii indices were in agreement with the observed trend of antifungal activity. Moreover, the toxicity analysis showed that the compounds belong to class III of toxicity which is the same as that of the recommended standards used.

New series of benzothiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. Compounds 6j and 6o showed the highest activity against E. coli and S. aureus. The antifungal activity of these compounds was also tested against Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus 293. Compounds 4c, 4g and 6j exhibited the highest activity against C. albicans. In addition, compounds 4a and 6j displayed promising activity against A. fumigatus 293. The same compounds were examined for their antiquorum-sensing activity against Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472, whereas compounds 4a, 6j and 6p showed moderate activity. The in vitro cytotoxicity testing of the synthesized compounds was performed against cervical cancer (Hela) and kidney fibroblast cancer (COS-7) cell lines. Results indicated that all tested compounds have IC50 values >50 μmol/L against both cell lines. Molecular properties, toxicities, drug-likeness, and drug score profiles of compounds 4a-c, 5a, 6g,h, 6j, 6l, 6o and 7c,d were also assessed.

A series of new 1-substituted 3, 5-diarylpyrazolines (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25) were synthesized in good yield by both conventional and microwave-assisted synthesis from α, β- unsaturated ketones (6, 7, 8, 9) in n-butanol and benzothiazole hydrazines (2, 3, 4, 5). All the new compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, and mass spectral data. The synthesized compounds (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25) were evaluated for antibacterial and anthelmintic activities. The compounds showed potent anthelmintic activity against earthworm species (Eudrilus eugeniae) and moderate antibacterial activity against bacterial strains such as Gram positive bacteria, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis, and Gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis.

Developing potent molecules that inhibit Bcl-2 family mediated apoptosis affords opportunities to treat cancers via reactivation of the cell death machinery. We describe the hit-to-lead development of selective Bcl-X L inhibitors originating from a high-throughput screening campaign. Small structural changes to the hit compound increased binding affinity more than 300-fold (to IC50 w L. Surface plasmon resonance experiments afford strong evidence of binding affinity within the hydrophobic groove of Bcl-XL. Biological experiments using engineered Mcl-1 deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs, reliant only on Bcl-XL for survival) and Bax/Bak deficient MEFs (insensitive to selective activation of Bcl-2-driven apoptosis) support a mechanism-based induction of apoptosis. This manuscript describes the first series of selective small-molecule inhibitors of Bcl-XL and provides promising leads for the development of efficacious therapeutics against solid tumors and chemoresistant cancer cell lines.

In this study, a novel benzothiazol- and benzooxazol-2-amine scaffold with antibacterial activity was designed and synthesized. Preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis displayed that compound 8t with a 5,6-difluorosubstituted benzothiazole was found to be a potent inhibitor of Gram-positive pathogens, and exhibited some potential against drug-resistant bacteria and without cytotoxicity in therapeutic concentrations. In addition, molecular docking studies indicated that Staphylococcus aureus methionyl-tRNA synthetase might be the possible target of these compounds. Taken together, the present study provides an effective entry to the synthesis of a good lead for subsequent optimization and a new small molecule candidate drug for antibacterial therapeutics.
