Isoprenoid-phospholipid conjugates as potential therapeutic agents: Synthesis, characterization and antiproliferative studies.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this research was to extend application field of isoprenoid compounds by their introduction into phospholipid structure as the transport vehicle. The series of novel isoprenoid phospholipids were synthesized in high yields (24-97%), their structures were fully characterized and its anticancer activity was investigated in vitro towards several cell lines of different origin. Most of synthesized compounds showed a significantly higher antiproliferative effect on tested cell lines than free terpene acids. The most active phosphatidylcholine analogue, containing 2,3-dihydro-3-vinylfarnesoic acids instead of fatty acids in both sn-1 and sn-2 position, inhibits the proliferation of colon cancer cells at 13.6 ?M.

Novel Indole-Pyrazole Hybrids as Potential Tubulin-Targeting Agents; Synthesis, antiproliferative evaluation, and molecular modeling studies.

Project description:Structurally diverse indole-3-pyrazole-5-carboxamide analogues (10-29) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against three cancer cell lines (Huh7, MCF-7, and HCT116) using the sulforhodamine B assay. Some of the derivatives showed anticancer activities equal to or better than sorafenib against cancer cell lines. Compounds 18 showed potent activity against the hepatocellular cancer (HCC) cell lines, with IC50 values in the range 0.6-2.9 μM. Compound 18 also exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against tubulin polymerization (IC50 = 19 μM). Flow cytometric analysis of cultured cells treated with 18 also demonstrated that the compound caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in both Huh7 and Mahlavu cells and induced apoptotic cell death in HCC cells. Docking simulations were performed to determine possible modes of interaction between 18 and the colchicine site of tubulin and quantum mechanical calculations were performed to observe the electronic nature of 18 and to support docking results.

Novel enterobactin analogues as potential therapeutic chelating agents: Synthesis, thermodynamic and antioxidant studies.

Project description:A series of novel hexadentate enterobactin analogues, which contain three catechol chelating moieties attached to different molecular scaffolds with flexible alkyl chain lengths, were prepared. The solution thermodynamic stabilities of the complexes with uranyl, ferric(III), and zinc(II) ions were then investigated. The hexadentate ligands demonstrate effective binding ability to uranyl ion, and the average uranyl affinities are two orders of magnitude higher than 2,3-dihydroxy-N1,N4-bis[(1,2-hydroxypyridinone-6-carboxamide)ethyl]terephthalamide [TMA(2Li-1,2-HOPO)2] ligand with similar denticity. The high affinity of hexadentate ligands could be due to the presence of the flexible scaffold, which favors the geometric agreement between the ligand and the uranyl coordination preference. The hexadentate ligands also exhibit higher antiradical efficiency than butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). These results provide a basis for further studies on the potential applications of hexadentate ligands as therapeutic chelating agents.

Benzimidazole-Based Derivatives as Apoptotic Antiproliferative Agents: Design, Synthesis, Docking, and Mechanistic Studies.

Project description:A new class of benzimidazole-based derivatives (4a-j, 5, and 6) with potential dual inhibition of EGFR and BRAFV600E has been developed. The newly synthesized compounds were submitted for testing for antiproliferative activity against the NCI-60 cell line. All newly synthesized compounds 4a-j, 5, and 6 were selected for testing against a panel of sixty cancer cell lines at a single concentration of 10 µM. Some compounds tested demonstrated remarkable antiproliferative activity against the cell lines tested. Compounds 4c, 4e, and 4g were chosen for five-dose testing against 60 human tumor cell lines. Compound 4c demonstrated strong selectivity against the leukemia subpanel, with a selectivity ratio of 5.96 at the GI50 level. The most effective in vitro anti-cancer assay derivatives (4c, 4d, 4e, 4g, and 4h) were tested for EGFR and BRAFV600E inhibition as potential targets for antiproliferative action. The results revealed that compounds 4c and 4e have significant antiproliferative activity as dual EGFR/BRAFV600E inhibitors. Compounds 4c and 4e induced apoptosis by increasing caspase-3, caspase-8, and Bax levels while decreasing the anti-apoptotic Bcl2 protein. Moreover, molecular docking studies confirmed the potential of compounds 4c and 4e to act as dual EGFR/BRAFV600E inhibitors.

Development of novel benzofuran-isatin conjugates as potential antiproliferative agents with apoptosis inducing mechanism in Colon cancer.

Project description:In the current work, a new set of carbohydrazide linked benzofuran-isatin conjugates (5a-e and 7a-i) was designed and synthesised. The anticancer activity for compounds (5b-d, 7a, 7b, 7d and 7g) was measured against NCI-55 human cancer cell lines. Compound 5d was the most efficient, and thus subjected to the five-dose screen where it showed excellent broad activity against almost all tested cancer subpanels. Furthermore, all conjugates (5a-e and 7a-i) showed a good anti-proliferative activity towards colorectal cancer SW-620 and HT-29 cell lines, with an excellent inhibitory effect for compounds 5a and 5d (IC50 = 8.7 and 9.4 µM (5a), and 6.5 and 9.8 µM for (5d), respectively). Both compounds displayed selective cytotoxicity with good safety profile. In addition, both compounds provoked apoptosis in a dose dependent manner in SW-620 cells. Also, they significantly inhibited the anti-apoptotic Bcl2 protein expression and increased the cleaved PARP level that resulted in SW-620 cells apoptosis.

Synthesis and synergistic studies of isatin based mixed ligand complexes as potential antifungal therapeutic agents.

Project description:Metal based drugs are important class of chemotherapeutic agents that have the potential to circumvent drug resistance. Increasing drug resistance, treatment failures and limited treatment options necessitates the development of new therapeutic drugs with different mechanisms of action. Towards this direction, we synthesized a series of isatin based mixed ligand complexes of [Cu(dbm)LClH2O] (mlc1), [Co(dbm)LCl2]‒ (mlc2) and [Ni(dbm)LClH2O] (mlc3) and evaluated their antifungal activity alone and in combination with fluconazole (FLC) against seven different Candida albicans isolates. The insight mechanism of antifungal action was revealed by studying apoptosis via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The study revealed that all these compounds showed antifungal activity at varying concentrations with mlc3 as the most potent compound with minimum inhibitory concentration ranging from 0.5-8 μg/mL and minimum fungicidal concentration ranging from 4-16 μg/mL. Upon combination with FLC, most of the interactions were either synergistic (54 %) or additive (32 %) with no antagonistic combination against any of the tested isolate. The study on their mechanism of action revealed that these compounds show apoptotic effect on C. albicans at sub-inhibitory concentrations, suggesting that strategies to target this process may augment the current antifungal treatment modalities.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of water-soluble ?-cyclodextrin-glycyrrhetinic acid conjugates as potential anti-influenza virus agents.

Project description:Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is a major constituent of the herb Glycyrrhiza glabra, and many of its derivatives demonstrate a broad spectrum of antiviral activities. In the current study, 18 water-soluble ?-cyclodextrin (CD)-GA conjugates, in which GA was covalently coupled to the primary face of ?-CD using 1,2,3-triazole moiety along with varying lengths of linker, were synthesized via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyl cycloaddition reaction. Benefited from the attached ?-CD moiety, all these conjugates showed lower hydrophobicity (AlogP) compared with their parent compound GA. With the exception of per-O-methylated ?-CD-GA conjugate (35), all other conjugates showed no significant cytotoxicity to MDCK cells, and these conjugates were then screened against A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus using the cytopathic effect assay. The preliminary results indicated that six conjugates showed promising antiviral activity, and the C-3 and C-30 of GA could tolerate some modifications. Our findings suggested that GA could be used as a lead compound for the development of potential anti-influenza virus agents.

Folic acid-sulfonamide conjugates as antibacterial agents: design, synthesis and molecular docking studies.

Project description:Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors, as antibacterial agents, contain pyrimidine, pteridine, and azine moieties among many other scaffolds. Folic acid (FA), with a pteridine ring and amine group, was used as our focus scaffold, which was then conjugated with sulfonamides to develop new conjugates. The novel synthesized conjugates were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral studies and consequently screened for antimicrobial activities against bacterial strains with ampicillin as a positive control. Compound DS2 has the highest zone of inhibition (36.6 mm) with a percentage activity index (%AI) value of 122.8% against S. aureus and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 15.63 μg mL-1. DHFR enzyme inhibition was also evaluated using the synthesized conjugates through in vitro studies, and inhibition assays revealed that compound DS2 exhibited a 75.4 ± 0.12% (mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM)) inhibition, which is comparable with the standard DHFR inhibitor trimethoprim (74.6 ± 0.09%). The compounds attached to the unsubstituted aryl moiety of the sulfonamides revealed better inhibition against the bacterial strains as compared to the methyl substituted aryl sulfonamides. Molecular docking studies of the novel synthesized conjugates were also performed on the DHFR enzyme to identify the plausible binding modes to explore the binding mechanisms of these conjugates.

Antitumor agents 295. E-ring hydroxylated antofine and cryptopleurine analogues as antiproliferative agents: design, synthesis, and mechanistic studies.

Project description:Various E-ring hydroxylated antofine and cryptopleurine analogues were designed, synthesized, and tested against five human cancer cell lines. Interesting structure-activity relationship (SAR) correlations were found among these new compounds. The most potent compound 13b was further tested against a series of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines in which it showed impressive antiproliferative activity. Mechanistic studies revealed that 13b is able to down-regulate HSP90 and ?-catenin in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting a potential use for treating hedgehog pathway-driven tumorigenesis.

Rhein-Amino Acid Ester Conjugates as Potential Antifungal Agents: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation.

Project description:In the search for crop protectants, amino acid ester conjugates have been widely investigated as potential antifungal agents. In this study, a series of rhein-amino acid ester conjugates were designed and synthesized in good yields, and their structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HRMS. The bioassay results revealed that most of the conjugates exhibited potent inhibitory activity against R. solani and S. sclerotiorum. In particular, conjugate 3c had the highest antifungal activity against R. solani with an EC50 value of 0.125 mM. For S. sclerotiorum, conjugate 3m showed the highest antifungal activity with an EC50 value of 0.114 mM. Satisfactorily, conjugate 3c exhibited better protective effects than that of the positive control, physcion, against powdery mildew in wheat. This research supports the role of rhein-amino acid ester conjugates as potential antifungal agents for plant fungal diseases.
