Project description:Antibiotics play a key role in the fight against bacterial diseases. However, bacteria quickly learn how to minimize the effects of antibiotics and strengthen their resistance. Thus, the fight against them becomes more and more difficult and there is a constant search for new bactericidal compounds. It is important in this type of search to determine the basic properties of compounds such as pKa, hydrogen bond formation, or hydrophobicity. Here, we present the results of our in silico study of five sulfonamide derivatives differing in alkylamine substituent length. Based on our results, we propose a model of three possible pKa values for each of the studied compounds. Interestingly, the use of Muckerman's approach for pKa determination exhibits that theoretical and experimental results are in very good agreement. Intramolecular hydrogen bond formation affects pKa. The strength of the H-bond interaction increases from ethyl to butylamine and then decreases with the elongation of the alkylamine chain. The obtained partition coefficients (expressed here in the value of log P) increase with the number of carbon atoms in the alkylamine chain following Lipinski's rule of five. The presented results provide important structural, physicochemical, and thermodynamic information that allows for the understanding of the influence of some sulfonamides and their possible activity.

Project description:Four new hydrazones were synthesized by the condensation of the selected hydrazine and the appropriate nitrobenzaldehyde. A complete characterization was done employing 1H- and 13C-NMR, electrochemical techniques and theoretical studies. After the characterization and electrochemical analysis of each compound, amoebicidal activity was tested in vitro against the HM1:IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica. The results showed the influence of the nitrobenzene group and the hydrazone linkage on the amoebicidal activity. meta-Nitro substituted compound 2 presents a promising amoebicidal activity with an IC50 = 0.84 μM, which represents a 7-fold increase in cell growth inhibition potency with respect to metronidazole (IC50 = 6.3 μM). Compounds 1, 3, and 4 show decreased amoebicidal activity, with IC50 values of 7, 75 and 23 µM, respectively, as a function of the nitro group position on the aromatic ring. The observed differences in the biological activity could be explained not only by the redox potential of the molecules, but also by their capacity to participate in the formation of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Redox potentials as well as the amoebicidal activity can be described with parameters obtained from the DFT analysis.

Project description:Two novel compounds (HQS and HQSe) with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) properties were designed based on the compound 2-(2-hydroxy-3-ethoxyphenyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one (HQ). The parameters related to the ESIPT properties and electronic spectra of HQ and its derivatives were calculated using density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory methods. The obtained geometric configurations, infrared vibrational spectra, and reduced density gradient scatter plots have shown that the intramolecular hydrogen bond O1···H1-N1 has been weakened upon photoexcitation. Moreover, from the scanned potential energy curves, it can be found that the ESIPT processes of the three compounds have no energy barriers. It is noteworthy that HQS and HQSe can strongly absorb light in the UVA region (∼340 nm) and exhibit weak fluorescence emission in the visible light region, which comes from the keto configuration. The special optical properties of HQS and HQSe can promote their application as potential sunscreen agents.

Project description:A series of 5-benzylamine-substituted pyrimido[4,5-c]quinoline derivatives of the CSNK2A chemical probe SGC-CK2-2 were synthesized with the goal of improving kinase inhibitor cellular potency and antiviral phenotypic activity while maintaining aqueous solubility. Among the range of analogs, those bearing electron-withdrawing (4c and 4g) or donating (4f) substituents on the benzyl ring as well as introduction of non-aromatic groups such as the cyclohexylmethyl (4t) were shown to maintain CSNK2A activity. The CSNK2A activity was also retained with N-methylation of SGC-CK2-2, but α-methyl substitution of the benzyl substituent led to a 10-fold reduction in potency. CSNK2A inhibition potency was restored with indene-based compound 4af, with activity residing in the S-enantiomer (4ag). Analogs with the highest CSNK2A potency showed good activity for inhibition of Mouse Hepatitis Virus (MHV) replication. Conformational analysis indicated that analogs with the best CSNK2A inhibition (4t, 4ac, and 4af) exhibited smaller differences between their ground state conformation and their predicted binding pose. Analogs with reduced activity (4ad, 4ae, and 4ai) required more substantial conformational changes from their ground state within the CSNK2A protein pocket.

Project description:Pyrimidine nucleoside analogues are widely used to treat infections caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and DNA viruses from the herpes family. It has been shown that 5-substituted uracil derivatives can inhibit HIV-1, herpes family viruses, mycobacteria and other pathogens through various mechanisms. Among the 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides, there are not only the classical nucleoside inhibitors of the herpes family viruses, 2'-deoxy-5-iodocytidine and 5-bromovinyl-2'-deoxyuridine, but also derivatives of 1-(benzyl)-5-(phenylamino)uracil, which proved to be non-nucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 and EBV. It made this modification of nucleoside analogues very promising in connection with the emergence of new viruses and the crisis of drug resistance when the task of creating effective antiviral agents of new types that act on other targets or exhibit activity by other mechanisms is very urgent. In this paper, we present the design, synthesis and primary screening of the biological activity of new nucleoside analogues, namely, 5'-norcarbocyclic derivatives of substituted 5-arylamino- and 5-aryloxyuracils, against RNA viruses.

Project description:GPR84, a Gi protein-coupled receptor that is activated by medium-chain (hydroxy)fatty acids, appears to play an important role in inflammation, immunity, and cancer. Recently, 6-octylaminouracil (4) has been reported to act as an agonist at GPR84. Here, we describe the synthesis of 69 derivatives and analogs of 4, 66 of which represent new compounds. They were evaluated in (a) cyclic adenosine monophosphate accumulation and (b) β-arrestin assays in human GPR84-expressing cells. Potent nonbiased as well as G protein-biased agonists were developed, e.g., 6-hexylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (20, PSB-1584, EC50 5.0 nM (a), 3.2 nM (b), bias factor: 0) and 6-((p-chloro- and p-bromo-phenylethyl)amino)-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (47, PSB-16434, EC50 7.1 nM (a), 520 nM (b), bias factor: 1.9 = 79-fold Gi pathway-selective; 48, PSB-17365, EC50 2.5 nM (a), 100 nM (b), bias factor 1.3 = 20-fold selective), which were selective versus other free fatty acid-activated receptors. Compounds 20 and 48 were found to be metabolically stable upon incubation with human liver microsomes. A pharmacophore model was created on the basis of structurally diverse lipidlike GPR84 agonists.

Project description:ObjectivesThe goal of this study was to design and enable development of anticancer sulfonamides by coupling amines and dansyl chloride with strategically selected substituents. The synthesized structures were characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry. In addition, molecular docking analysis was used to determine the binding ability of sulfonamides toward 1AZM, a possible drug target, as compared with that of the well-known drug acetazolamide.MethodsSulfonamides were synthesized by coupling amines and dansyl chloride under highly favorable conditions. The designed sulfonamides incorporated strategically positioned substituents to impart diverse biological properties. The synthesized structures were validated with NMR and mass spectra. Molecular docking analysis was performed to evaluate the binding affinities of the synthesized sulfonamides with the potential drug target 1AZM.ResultsThe synthesis of sulfonamides through the coupling of amines and dansyl chloride was successfully achieved. The validation of the synthesized structures with NMR and mass spectra confirmed their chemical identities. Molecular docking analysis revealed that the synthesized sulfonamides displayed binding affinities ranging from -6.8 to -8.2 kcal/mol toward the potential drug target 1AZM. Importantly, all derivatives exhibited superior binding affinities to acetazolamide (-5.25 kcal/mol).ConclusionsThe coupling of amines and dansyl chloride enabled efficient, straightforward sulfonamide synthesis. The strategic design of sulfonamides with specific substituents endows diverse biological properties, including potential anti-cancer activity. The elucidation of the synthesized compounds with NMR and mass spectra confirmed their structures. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that the synthesized sulfonamides exhibited favorable binding affinities toward the potential drug target 1AZM. Notably, all derivatives displayed higher binding affinities, ranging from -6.8 to -8.2 kcal/mol, than the recommended drug acetazolamide (-5.25 kcal/mol), thus suggesting their potential as highly effective analogues for further validation in cancer therapy.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance is a global problem, and one promising solution to overcome this issue is using metallodrugs, which are drugs containing metal ions and ligands. These complexes are superior to free ligands in various characteristics including anticancer properties and mechanism of action. The pharmacological potential of metallodrugs can be modulated by the appropriate selection of ligands and metal ions. A good example of proper coordination is the combination of sulfonamides (sulfamerazine, sulfathiazole) with a ruthenium(III) ion. This work aimed to confirm that the activity of sulfonamides antibacterial drugs is initiated and/or stimulated by their coordination to an Ru(III) ion. The study determined the structure, electrochemical profile, CT-DNA affinity, and antimicrobial as well as anticancer properties of the synthesized complexes. The results proved that Ru(III) complexes exhibited better biological properties than the free ligands.

Project description:A study involving the use of Mg-MeOH for the double reductive cleavage of both N-S and C-S bonds in a series of 11 benzo-fused cyclic sulfonamides is reported. Examples where the sulfonamide nitrogen atom is part of a pyrrolidine ring effectively undergo reduction, as long as a methoxy substituent is not para-positioned in the aromatic ring, relative to the sulfonyl group. In contrast, if the nitrogen atom is contained within an aromatic ring (pyrrole or indole), the presence of a para-methoxy substituent does not prohibit reduction. If deuterated methanol is used, aromatic ortho-deuterium incorporation was observed. To better understand how structure affects reactivity, density functional theory calculations were performed using three functionals. Results using CAM-B3LYP were found to best correlate with experimental observations, and these demonstrate the impact that the different aromatic substitution patterns and types of N-atom have on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies and adiabatic electron affinities.

Project description:Recently, several studies have demonstrated that diaminodicyanoquinone derivatives (DADQs) could present interesting fluorescence properties. Furthermore, some DADQs under the solid state are capable of showing quantum yields that can reach values of 90%. Besides, the diaminodiacyanoquinone core represents a versatile building block propense either to modification or integration into different systems to obtain and provide them unique photophysical features. Herein, we carried out a theoretical study on the fluorescence properties of three different diaminodicyanoquinodimethane systems. Therefore, time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) was used to obtain the values associated with the dipole moments, oscillator strengths, and the conformational energies between the ground and the first excited states of each molecule. The results suggest that only two of the three studied systems possess significant luminescent properties. In a further stage, the theoretical insights were confirmed by means of experimental measurements, which not only retrieved the photoluminescence of the DADQs, but also suggest a preliminary and promising antibacterial activity of these systems.
