A novel class of selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitors: synthesis and evaluation of (E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-heteroarylacrylonitriles.

ABSTRACT: (E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-heteroarylacrylonitriles are described as a new class of selective inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The most potent compound in the series exhibited good AChE inhibitory activity (IC?? = 64 µM). Compound 7f was found to be more selective than galanthamine in inhibiting AChE and it showed a moderate selectivity index. Kinetic studies on AChE indicated that a competitive type of inhibition pattern exist for these acrylonitrile derivates. Molecular docking models of the ligand-AChE complexes suggest that compound 7 g is located on the periphery of the AChE active site.

Project description:IntroductionEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) regulates several cell functions which include cell growth, survival, multiplication, differentiation, and apoptosis. Currently, EGFR kinase inhibitors are of increasing interest as promising targeted antitumor therapeutic agents.MethodsDifferent thiazolyl-pyrazoline derivatives (7a-o) were synthesized and were first tested for anti-proliferative effect towards the A549 lung cancer cell line and the T-47D breast cancer cell line in MTT assay. Thereafter, thiazolyl-pyrazolines (7b, 7g, 7l, and 7m) were subsequently evaluated for their PK inhibition for EGFR. Moreover, representative promising derivatives (7g and 7m) in cytotoxic and PK inhibition assays were tested to investigate their impact on the apoptosis and cell cycle phases in T-47D cells in order to explore more insights into the antitumor actions of the target thiazolyl-pyrazolines. Furthermore, docking studies were accomplished to evaluate the patterns of binding of thiazolyl-pyrazolines 7b, 7g, 7l, and 7m in the EGFR active pocket (PDB ID: 1M17).ResultsTesting the thiazolyl pyrazoline compounds 7a-o on A549 and T-47D cell lines showed IC50 arrays between 3.92 and 89.03 µM, and between 0.75 and 77.10 µM, respectively. Also, the tested thiazolyl-pyrazolines (7b, 7g, 7l, and 7m) demonstrated significant sub-micromolar EGFR inhibitory actions with IC50 values 83, 262, 171 and 305 nM, respectively, in comparison to erlotinib (IC50 =57 nM).DiscussionGenerally, it was observed that the tested thiazolyl pyrazolines showed more potent antiproliferative activity toward breast cancer cells T-47D than toward lung cancer cell lines A549. In particular, thiazolyl pyrazolines 7g and 7m showed the best activity against A549 cells (IC50 = 3.92 and 6.53 µM) and T-47D cells (IC50 = 0.88 and 0.75 µM). Compounds 7g and 7m provoked a sub-G1 phase arrest and cell apoptosis which are in agreement with the expected outcome of EGFR inhibition. Finally, the molecular docking of 7g and 7m in the active site of EGFR revealed a common binding pattern similar to that of erlotinib which involves the accommodation of the 1,3 thiazol-4-one ring and pyrazoline ring of target compounds in the binding region of erlotinib's quinazoline ring and anilino moiety.
