Synthesis and Cytoprotective Characterization of 8-Hydroxyquinoline Betti Products.

ABSTRACT: The 8-hydroxyquinoline pharmacophore scaffold has been shown to possess a range of activities as metal chelation, enzyme inhibition, cytotoxicity, and cytoprotection. Based on our previous findings we set out to optimize the scaffold for cytoprotective activity for its potential application in central nervous system related diseases. A 48-membered Betti-library was constructed by the utilization of formic acid mediated industrial-compatible coupling with sets of aromatic primary amines such as anilines, oxazoles, pyridines, and pyrimidines, with (hetero)aromatic aldehydes and 8-hydroxiquinoline derivatives. After column chromatography and re-crystallization, the corresponding analogues were obtained in yields of 13⁻90%. The synthesized analogs were optimized with the utilization of a cytoprotection assay with chemically induced oxidative stress, and the most active compounds were further tested in orthogonal assays, a real time cell viability method, a fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-based assay measuring mitochondrial membrane potential changes, and gene expression analysis. The best candidates showed potent, nanomolar activity in all test systems and support the need for future studies in animal models of central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

Recent advances in the synthesis and synthetic applications of Betti base (aminoalkylnaphthol) and bis-Betti base derivatives.

Project description:The multicomponent reaction between 2-naphthol, arylaldehydes and ammonia yields aminobenzylnaphthols in a process known as the Betti reaction, which was first uncovered at the beginning of the 20th century. Various methods have been reported for the synthesis of aminobenzylnaphthol (Betti base) and bis-Betti base derivatives using various types of naphthols, aromatic amines, heteroaromatic amines, and aliphatic and cyclic amines instead of ammonia or diamines and aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes or dialdehyde compounds under various conditions in recent years. The Betti reaction produces racemic and non-racemic aminobenzylnaphthol ligands. It is also clear that the most important area of application of the non-racemic aminonaphthols prepared in this manner is their use in asymmetric synthesis, either as chiral ligands or as chiral auxiliaries. The functional groups in these Mannich products offer many ring closure possibilities. Some of these products or the starting bifunctional compounds possess biological activity. Herein, we present a selection of the relevant studies on this topic.

Characterization of cytoprotective and toxic properties of iron chelator SIH, prochelator BSIH and their degradation products.

Project description:Free cellular iron catalyzes the formation of toxic hydroxyl radicals and therefore chelation of iron could be a promising therapeutic approach in pathological states associated with oxidative stress. Salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH) is a strong intracellular iron chelator with well documented potential to protect against oxidative damage both in vitro and in vivo. Due to the short biological half-life of SIH and risk of toxicity due to iron depletion, boronate prochelator BSIH has been designed. BSIH cannot bind iron until it is activated by certain reactive oxygen species to active chelator SIH. The aim of this study was to examine the toxicity and cytoprotective potential of BSIH, SIH, and their decomposition products against hydrogen peroxide-induced injury of H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells. Using HPLC, we observed that salicylaldehyde was the main decomposition products of SIH and BSIH, although a small amount of salicylic acid was also detected. In the case of BSIH, the concentration of formed salicylaldehyde consistently exceeded that of SIH. Isoniazid and salicylic acid were not toxic nor did they provide any antioxidant protective effect in H9c2 cells. In contrast, salicylaldehyde was able to chelate intracellular iron and significantly preserve cellular viability and mitochondrial inner membrane potential induced by hydrogen peroxide. However it was consistently less effective than SIH. The inherent toxicities of salicylaldehyde and SIH were similar. Hence, although SIH - the active chelating agent formed following the BSIH activation - undergoes rapid hydrolysis, its principal decomposition product salicylaldehyde accounts markedly for both cytoprotective and toxic properties.

Synthesis, characterization and computational studies of Zn complex based on the 8-hydroxyquinoline group containing benzimidazole.

Project description:A novel fluorescent zinc complex with 8-hydroxyquinoline containing benzimidazole ligands has been designed and synthesized. Its emission, IR spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis as well as electrochemical properties have been studied. The solid-state structures were determined via single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction. It was found that the ligands around the Zn atoms are distorted by the constrained coordination environment. Computational studies have also been performed to provide insights into the electronic transitions, excited state origins and electrochemical properties of the complex. Based on the observed luminescence phenomena and the quantum chemical calculated results, it was also investigated that the energy transfer mechanism for the luminescence of the complex, which indicated that the ligand structural distortion could cause the blue shift in the emission profile of the complex.

Synthesis of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives as novel antitumor agents.

Project description:This letter describes the preparation of quinoline derivatives and their cytotoxic potentials toward human carcinoma cell lines. Among the selected compounds, 8-hydroxy-2-quinolinecarbaldehyde (3) showed the best in vitro cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell lines, including MDA231, T-47D, Hs578t, SaoS2, K562, SKHep1 (with a MTS50 range of 12.5-25 ?g/mL) and Hep3B (with a MTS50 range of 6.25±0.034 ?g/mL). The in vivo antitumor activity of compound 3 on subcutenaous Hep3B hepatocellular carcinoma xenograft in athymic nude mice was then studied. The results showed that the dose of 10 mg/kg/day of compound 3 with intraperitoneal injection for 9 days totally abolished the growth of the xenograft tumor of Hep3B with no histological damage on vital organs as compared with the control. The experimental results suggested that compound 3 has a good potential as an antitumor agent.

Synthesis and anti-phytopathogenic activity of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives.

Project description:Phytopathogenic fungi have become a serious threat to the quality of agricultural products, food security and human health globally, necessitating the need to discover new antifungal agents with de novo chemical scaffolds and high efficiency. A series of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their antifungal activity was evaluated against five phytopathogenic fungi. In vitro assays revealed that most of the tested compounds remarkably impacted the five target fungi and their inhibitory activities were better than that of the positive control azoxystrobin. Compound 2, in particular, exhibited the highest potency among all the tested compounds, with an EC50 of 0.0021, 0.0016, 0.0124, 0.0059 and 0.0120 mM respectively against B. cinerea, S. sclerotiorum, F. graminearum, F. oxysporum and M. oryzae, followed by compound 5c. The morphological observations of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy revealed that compounds 2 and 5c caused mycelial abnormalities of S. sclerotiorum. Futhermore, the results of in vivo antifungal activity of compounds 2 and 5c against S. sclerotiorum showed that 5c possessed stronger protective and curative activity than that of 2, and the curative effects of 5c at 40 and 80 μg mL-1 (84.18% and 95.44%) were better than those of azoxystrobin (77.32% and 83.59%). Therefore, compounds 2 and 5c are expected to be novel lead structures for the development of new fungicides.

Characterization of the 8-hydroxyquinoline scaffold for inhibitors of West Nile virus serine protease.

Project description:West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne member of flaviviruses that causes significant morbidity and mortality especially among children. There is currently no approved vaccine or antiviral therapeutic for human use. In a previous study, we described compounds containing the 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) scaffold as inhibitors of WNV serine protease (NS2B/NS3pro) in a high throughput screen (HTS) using the purified WNV NS2B/NS3pro as the target. In this study, we analyzed potencies of some commercially available as well as chemically synthesized derivatives of 8-HQ by biochemical assays. An insight into the contribution of various substitutions of 8-HQ moiety for inhibition of the protease activity was revealed. Most importantly, the substitution of the N1 of the 8-HQ ring by -CH- in compound 26 significantly reduced the inhibition of the viral protease by this naphthalen-1-ol derivative. The kinetic constant (K(i)) for the most potent 8-HQ inhibitor (compound 14) with an IC(50) value of 2.01 ± 0.08 ?M using the tetra-peptide substrate was determined to be 5.8 ?M. This compound inhibits the WNV NS2B/NS3pro by a competitive mode of inhibition which is supported by molecular modeling.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of selective survivin inhibitors derived from the MX-106 hydroxyquinoline scaffold.

Project description:The survivin (BIRC5) expression is very low in normal differentiated adult tissues, but it is one of the most widely upregulated genes in tumor cells. The overexpression of survivin in many cancer types has been positively correlated with resistance to chemotherapy, tumor metastasis, and poor patient survival. Survivin is considered to be a cancer specific biomarker and serves as a potential cancer drug target. In this report, we describe the design and syntheses of a series of novel selective survivin inhibitors based on the hydroxyquinoline scaffold from our previously reported lead compound MX-106. The best compound identified in this study is compound 12b. In vitro, 12b inhibited cancer cell proliferation with an average IC50 value of 1.4 μM, using a panel of melanoma, breast, and ovarian cancer cell lines. The metabolic stability of 12b improved over MX-106 by 1.7-fold (88 vs 51 min in human microsomes). Western blot analyses demonstrated that treatments with 12b selectively decreased survivin protein levels, but negligibly affected other closely related members in the IAP family proteins, and strongly induced cancer cell apoptosis. In vivo, compound 12b effectively inhibited melanoma tumor growth when tested using a human A375 melanoma xenograft model. Further evaluation using an aggressive, orthotopic ovarian cancer mouse model showed that 12b was highly efficacious in suppressing both primary tumor growth in ovaries and tumor metastasis to multiple peritoneal organs. Collectively, results in this study strongly suggest that the hydroxyquinoline scaffold, represented by 12b and our earlier lead compound MX-106, has abilities to selectively target survivin and is promising for further preclinical development.

Antioxidant and Cytoprotective Properties of Plant Extract from Dry Flowers as Functional Dyes for Cosmetic Products.

Project description:Nowadays, natural dyes are expected by the cosmetic and food industries. In contrast to synthetic dyes, colorants derived from natural sources are more environmentally friendly and safer for human health. In this work, plant extracts from Gomphrena globasa L., Clitoria ternatea L., Carthamus tinctorius L., Punica granatum L. and Papaver rhoeas L. as the natural and functional dyes for the cosmetics industry were assessed. Cytotoxicity on keratinocyte and fibroblast cell lines was determined as well as antioxidant and anti-aging properties by determining their ability to inhibit the activity of collagenase and elastase enzymes. In addition, the composition of the extracts was determined. The obtained extracts were also applied in face cream formulation and color analyses were performed. It has been shown that the obtained extracts were characterized by no cytotoxicity and a high antioxidant potential. The extracts also show strong ability to inhibit the activity of collagenase and moderate ability to inhibit elastase and provide effective and long-lasting hydration after their application on the skin. Application analyses showed that the extracts of P. rhoeas L., C. ternatea L. and C. tinctorius L. can be used as effective cosmetic dyes that allow for attainment of an intense and stable color during the storage of the product. The extracts of P. granatum L. and G. globasa L., despite their beneficial effects as active ingredients, did not work effectively as cosmetic dyes, because cosmetic emulsions with these extracts did not differ significantly in color from emulsions without the extract.

Synthesis, Computational, and Anticancer In Vitro Investigations of Aminobenzylnaphthols Derived from 2-Naphtol, Benzaldehydes, and α-Aminoacids via the Betti Reaction.

Project description:Multicomponent reactions have emerged as an important approach for the synthesis of diverse and complicated chemical compounds. They have various advantages over two-component reactions, including the convenience of one-pot procedures and the ability to modify the structure of agents. Here, we employed in vitro and in silico studies to explore the anticancer potential of novel aminobenzylnaphthols derived from the Betti reaction (MMZ compounds). MTT assay was used to explore the cytotoxic activity of the compounds in pancreatic (BxPC-3 cells) and colorectal (HT-29) cancer cell lines or normal human lung fibroblasts (WI-38 cells). Proapoptotic properties of two derivatives MMZ-45AA and MMZ-140C were explored using AO/EB and annexin V-FITC/PI staining. In silico studies including ADMET profiling, molecular target prediction, docking, and dynamics were employed. The compounds exhibited cytotoxic properties and showed proapoptotic properties in respective IC50 concentrations. As indicated by in silico investigations, anticancer activity of MMZs can be attributed to the inhibition of ADORA1, CDK2, and TRIM24. Furthermore, compounds exhibited favorable ADMET properties. MMZs constitute an interesting scaffold for the potential development of new anticancer agents.

Characterization of the membrane-inserted C-terminus of cytoprotective BCL-XL.

Project description:BCL-XL is a dominant inhibitor of apoptosis and a significant anti-cancer drug target. Endogenous BCL-XL is integral to the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). BCL-XL reconstituted in detergent-free lipid bilayer nanodiscs is anchored to the nanodisc lipid bilayer membrane by tight association of its C-terminal tail, while the N-terminal head retains the canonical structure determined for water-soluble, tail-truncated BCL-XL, with the surface groove solvent-exposed and available for BH3 ligand binding. To better understand the conformation and dynamics of this key region of BCL-XL we have developed methods for isolating the membrane-embedded C-terminal tail from its N-terminal head and for preparing protein suitable for structural and biochemical studies. Here, we outline the methods for sample preparation and characterization and describe previously unreported structural and dynamics features. We show that the C-terminal tail of BCL-XL forms a transmembrane ?-helix that retains a significant degree of conformational dynamics. We also show that the presence of the intact C-terminus destabilizes the soluble state of the protein, and that the small fraction of soluble recombinant protein produced in Escherichia coli is susceptible to proteolytic degradation of C-terminal residues beyond M218. This finding impacts the numerous previous studies where recombinant soluble BCL-XL was presumed to be full-length. Nevertheless, the majority of recombinant BCL-XL produced in E. coli is insoluble and protected from proteolysis. This protein retains the complete C-terminal tail and can be reconstituted in lipid bilayers in a folded and active state.
