Synthesis, antibacterial and anticancer activity, and docking study of aminoguanidines containing an alkynyl moiety.

ABSTRACT: Two series of aminoguanidines containing an alkynyl moiety were designed, synthesised, and screened for antibacterial and anticancer activities. Generally, the series 3a-3j with a 1,2-diphenylethyne exhibited better antibacterial activity than the other series (6a-6k) holding 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne moiety antibacterial activity. Most compounds in series 3a-3j showed potent growth inhibition against the tested bacterial strains, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range 0.25-8 µg/mL. Compound 3g demonstrated rapid and persistent bactericidal activity at 2 × MIC. The resistance study revealed that resistance of the tested bacteria towards 3g is not easily developed. Molecular docking studies revealed that compounds 3g and 6e bind strongly to the LpxC and FabH enzymes. Moreover, excellent activity of selected compounds against the growth of cancer cell lines A549 and SGC7901 was also observed, with IC₅₀ values in the range 0.30-4.57 µg/mL. These findings indicate that compounds containing the aminoguanidine moiety are promising candidates for the development of new antibacterial and anticancer agents.

Project description:BackgroundPlant fungi (e.g., Pellicularia sasakii, Gibberella zeae, Fusarium oxysporum, and Cytospora mandshurica and Phytophthora infestans) and bacteria (e.g., Ralstonia solanacearum) are extremely difficult to manage in agricultural production. The high incidence of plant mortality and the lack of effective control methods make P. sasakii and R. solanacearum two of the world's most destructive plant pathogens. Pathogenic fungi and bacteria are responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year. Thus, we designed an active amide structure and synthesized a series of novel amide derivatives containing a triazole moiety to discover new bioactive molecules and pesticides that can act against fungi and bacteria.ResultsA series of amide derivatives containing a triazole moiety were synthesized. All the obtained compounds were characterized through proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Preliminary antifungal activity test showed that some of the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate antifungal activity against P. sasakii, G. azeae, F. oxysporum, C. mandshurica, and P. infestans at 50 mg/L. Compound 4u displayed more potent antifungal activity against P. sasakii and G. azeae than hymexazol. Preliminary antibacterial activity results showed that some of the synthesized compounds exhibited high anti-bacterial activity against R. solanacearum at 200 mg/L. Compounds 4m and 4q displayed high antibacterial activity against R. solanacearum, with 71% and 65% inhibitory rates, respectively.ConclusionsA series of novel amide derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety were synthesized through the reaction of intermediate 3 with different acyl chlorides and anhydrous potassium carbonates in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran at 50°C, using 2,4-dichloroacetophenoneas as a starting material. The title compounds exhibited high inhibitory effects against P. sasakii, R. solanacearum, and G. azeae.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing bacterial resistance to quinolones is concerning. Hence, the development of novel quinolones by chemical modifications to overcome quinolone resistance is an attractive perspective in this context.ObjectiveIn this study, it is aimed to design and synthesize a novel series of functionalized fluoroquinolones using ciprofloxacin and sarafloxacin cores by hybridization of quinazolinone derivatives. This objective was tested by a comprehensive set of in vitro antibacterial assays in addition to SAR (structure-activity relationship) characterisation studies.MethodsA nucleophilic reaction of ciprofloxacin and sarafloxacin with 2-(chloromethyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one in the presence of NaHCO3 in dimethylformamide (DMF) was performed to obtain the desired compounds 5a-j. Novel compounds were characterised by 1H, 13C- NMR and IR spectroscopy, MS and elemental analysis. In silico pharmacokinetics prediction assays and molecular docking studies were performed to explore the binding characteristics and interactions. Antibacterial activities of the novel compounds were evaluated by Broth microdilution, well diffusion and disc diffusion assays against three gram-positive (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis) and three gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli).ResultsThe compounds exhibited moderate to good activities against gram-positive bacteria and weak to moderate activities against gram-negative bacteria. Amongst all ciprofloxacin-derivatives, compound 5d was the most potent agent with high antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA and S. aureus ((minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 16 nM for both), that is 60 times more potent than ciprofloxacin as parent drug. Compound 5i from sarafloxacin-derivatives was the most potent compound against MRSA and S. aureus (MIC = 0.125 μM). Well diffusion and disk diffusion assay results demonstrated confirmatory outcomes for the quantitative broth microdilution assay. Molecular docking study results were in accordance with the results of antibacterial activity assays.ConclusionThe results of the current study demonstrated that the novel ciprofloxacin and sarafloxacin derivatives synthesized here have promising antibacterial activities. Particularly, compounds 5d and 5i have potential for wider antibacterial applications following further analysis.
