Design, synthesis and α-glucosidase inhibition study of novel embelin derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Embelin is a naturally occurring para-benzoquinone isolated from Embelia ribes (Burm. f.) of the Myrsinaceae family. It was first discovered to have potent inhibitory activity (IC₅₀ = 4.2 μM) against α-glucosidase in this study. Then, four series of novel embelin derivatives were designed, prepared and evaluated in α-glucosidase inhibition assays. The results show that most of the embelin derivatives synthesised are effective α-glucosidase inhibitors, with IC₅₀ values at the micromolar level, especially 10d, 12d, and 15d, the IC₅₀ values of which are 1.8, 3.3, and 3.6 μM, respectively. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies suggest that hydroxyl groups in the 2/5-position of para-benzoquinone are very important, and long-chain substituents in the 3-position are highly preferred. Moreover, the inhibition mechanism and kinetics studies reveal that all of 10d, 12d, 15d, and embelin are reversible and mixed-type inhibitors. Furthermore, docking experiments were carried out to study the interactions between 10d and 15d with α-glucosidase.

Synthesis, ?-glucosidase inhibition and molecular docking studies of novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione or rhodanine derivatives.

Project description:A series of novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione or rhodanine derivatives (5a-5k, 6a-6k) were synthesized and evaluated for their ?-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The majority of compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activity in the range of 5.44 ± 0.13 to 50.45 ± 0.39 ?M, when compared to the standard drug acarbose (IC50 = 817.38 ± 6.27 ?M). Among the compounds in the series, compounds 5k, 6a, 6b, 6e, 6h and 6k showed potent inhibitory potential with IC50 values of 20.95 ± 0.21, 16.11 ± 0.19, 7.72 ± 0.16, 7.91 ± 0.17, 6.59 ± 0.15 and 5.44 ± 0.13 ?M, respectively. Compound 6k (IC50 = 5.44 ± 0.13 ?M), containing chloro and rhodanine groups at the 2- and 4-positions of the phenyl ring respectively, was found to be the most active compound that inhibits ?-glucosidase activity. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed to understand the binding interactions between the molecule and enzyme.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Coumarin-Chalcone Derivatives as α-Glucosidase Inhibitors

Project description:Coumarin and chalcone, two important kinds of natural product skeletons, both exhibit α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. In this work, coumarin-chalcone derivatives 3 (a∼v) were synthesized, and their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was screened. The results showed that all synthetic derivatives (IC50: 24.09 ± 2.36 to 125.26 ± 1.18 μM) presented better α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the parent compounds 3-acetylcoumarin (IC50: 1.5 × 105 μM) and the positive control acarbose (IC50: 259.90 ± 1.06 μM). Among them, compound 3t displayed the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC50: 24.09 ± 2.36 μM), which was approximately 10 times stronger than that of acarbose. The kinetic assay of 3t (KI = 18.82 μM, KIS = 59.99 μM) revealed that these compounds inhibited α-glucosidase in a mixed-type manner. Molecular docking was used to simulate the interaction between α-glucosidase and compound 3t.

Design, Synthesis, and Activity Evaluation of Novel N-benzyl Deoxynojirimycin Derivatives for Use as ?-Glucosidase Inhibitors.

Project description:To obtain ?-glucosidase inhibitors with high activity, 19 NB-DNJDs (N-benzyl-deoxynojirimycin derivatives) were designed and synthesized. The results indicated that the 19 NB-DNJDs displayed different inhibitory activities towards ?-glucosidase in vitro. Compound 18a (1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl) piperidine-3,4,5-triol) showed the highest activity, with an IC50 value of 0.207 ± 0.11 mM, followed by 18b (1-(3-bromo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl) piperidine-3,4,5-triol, IC50: 0.276 ± 0.13 mM). Both IC50 values of 18a and 18b were significantly lower than that of acarbose (IC50: 0.353 ± 0.09 mM). According to the structure-activity analysis, substitution of the benzyl and bromine groups on the benzene ring decreased the inhibition activity, while methoxy and hydroxyl group substitution increased the activity, especially with the hydroxyl group substitution. Molecular docking results showed that three hydrogen bonds were formed between compound 18a and amino acids in the active site of ?-glucosidase. Additionally, an arene?arene interaction was also modelled between the phenyl ring of compound 18a and Arg 315. The three hydrogen bonds and the arene?arene interaction resulted in a low binding energy (-5.8 kcal/mol) and gave 18a a higher inhibition activity. Consequently, compound 18a is a promising candidate as a new ?-glucosidase inhibitor for the treatment of type ? diabetes.

Synthesis of Pyridine-Dicarboxamide-Cyclohexanone Derivatives: Anticancer and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activities and In Silico Study.

Project description:An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of 2,6-diaryl-4-oxo-N,N'-di(pyridin-2-yl)cyclohexane-1,1-dicarboxamide is described in this present study, which occurs through a double Michael addition reaction between diamide and various dibenzalacetones. The reaction was carried out in dichloromethane (DCM) in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). The anticancer activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in several cancer cell lines, including MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SAS, PC-3, HCT-116, HuH-7 and HepG2 cells. From these experiments, we determined that MDA-MB-231 was the most sensitive cancer cell line to the compounds 3c, 3e, 3d, 3j and 3l, which exhibited variable anticancer activities (3l [IC50 = 5 ± 0.25 µM] > 3e [IC50 = 5 ± 0.5 µM] > 3c [IC50 = 7 ± 1.12 µM] > 3d [IC50 = 18 ± 0.87 µM] > 3j [IC50 = 45 ± 3 µM]). Of these, 3l (substituted p-trifluoromethylphenyl and chloropyridine) showed good potency (IC50 = 6 ± 0.78 µM) against HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells and exhibited high toxicity against HuH-7 liver cancer cells (IC50 = 4.5 ± 0.3 µM). These values were three times higher than the values reported for cisplatin (IC50 of 8 ± 0.76 and 14.7 ± 0.5 µM against HCT-116 and HuH-7 cells, respectively). The highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was detected for the 3d, 3i and 3j compounds. The details of the binding mode of the active compounds were clarified by molecular docking studies.

Project description:A green and efficient one-pot multi-component protocol was developed for the synthesis of some novel dihydrochromeno[4,3-b]pyrrol-3-yl derivatives through the reaction of arylglyoxals, malono derivatives, and different 4-amino coumarins in ethanol at reflux condition. In this method, all products were obtained in good to excellent yield. Next, all synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Most of the compounds displayed potent inhibitory activities with IC50 values in the range of 48.65 ± 0.01-733.83 ± 0.10 μM compared to the standard inhibitor acarbose (IC50 = 750.90 ± 0.14 μM). The kinetic study of compound 5e as the most potent derivative (IC50 = 48.65 ± 0.01 μM) showed a competitive mechanism with a Ki value of 42.6 µM. Moreover, docking studies revealed that dihydrochromeno[4,3-b]pyrrol-3-yl effectively interacted with important residues in the active site of α-glucosidase.

Four Novel Phenanthrene Derivatives with α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity from Gastrochilus bellinus.

Project description:Four new phenanthrene derivatives, gastrobellinols A-D (1-4), were isolated from the methanolic extract of Gastrochilus bellinus (Rchb.f.) Kuntze, along with eleven known phenolic compounds including agrostophyllin (5), agrostophyllidin (6), coniferyl aldehyde (7), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (8), agrostophyllone (9), gigantol (10), 4-(methoxylmethyl)phenol (11), syringaldehyde (12), 1-(4'-hydroxybenzyl)-imbricartin (13), 6-methoxycoelonin (14), and imbricatin (15). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Each isolate was evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compounds 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 13, and 15 showed higher activity than the drug acarbose. Gastrobellinol C (3) exhibited the strongest α-glucosidase inhibition with an IC50 value of 45.92 μM. A kinetic study of 3 showed competitive inhibition on the α-glucosidase enzyme. This is the first report on the phytochemical constituents and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of G. bellinus.

Design, synthesis, molecular docking, and in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of novel 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines against yeast and rat α-glucosidase.

Project description:In an attempt to find novel, potent α-glucosidase inhibitors, a library of poly-substituted 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines 3a-ag have been synthesized through heating a mixture of 2-aminobenzimidazoles 1 and α-azidochalcone 2 under the mild conditions. This efficient, facile protocol has been resulted into the desirable compounds with a wide substrate scope in good to excellent yields. Afterwards, their inhibitory activities against yeast α-glucosidase enzyme were investigated. Showing IC50 values ranging from 16.4 ± 0.36 µM to 297.0 ± 1.2 µM confirmed their excellent potency to inhibit α-glucosidase which encouraged us to perform further studies on α-glucosidase enzymes obtained from rat as a mammal source. Among various synthesized 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, compound 3k exhibited the highest potency against both Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase (IC50 = 16.4 ± 0.36 μM) and rat small intestine α-glucosidase (IC50 = 45.0 ± 8.2 μM). Moreover, the role of amine moiety on the observed activity was studied through substituting with chlorine and hydrogen resulted into a considerable deterioration on the inhibitory activity. Kinetic study and molecular docking study have confirmed the in-vitro results.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 5-Fluoro-2-Oxindole Derivatives as Potential α-Glucosidase Inhibitors.

Project description:α-Glucosidase inhibitors are known to prevent the digestion of carbohydrates and reduce the impact of carbohydrates on blood glucose. To develop novel α-glucosidase inhibitors, a series of 5-fluoro-2-oxindole derivatives (3a ∼ 3v) were synthesized, and their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were investigated. Biological assessment results showed that most synthesized compounds presented potential inhibition on α-glucosidase. Among them, compounds 3d, 3f, and 3i exhibited much better inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 49.89 ± 1.16 μM, 35.83 ± 0.98 μM, and 56.87 ± 0.42 μM, respectively, which were about 10 ∼ 15 folds higher than acarbose (IC50 = 569.43 ± 43.72 μM). A kinetic mechanism study revealed that compounds 3d, 3f, and 3i inhibited the α-glucosidase in a reversible and mixed manner. Molecular docking was carried out to simulate the affinity between the compound and α-glucosidase.

Synthesis, <i>in vitro</i> inhibitory activity, kinetic study and molecular docking of novel <i>N</i>-alkyl-deoxynojirimycin derivatives as potential α-glucosidase inhibitors.

Project description:A series of novel N-alkyl-1-deoxynojirimycin derivatives 25 ∼ 44 were synthesised and evaluated for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity to develop α-glucosidase inhibitors with high activity. All twenty compounds exhibited α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 30.0 ± 0.6 µM to 2000 µM as compared to standard acarbose (IC50 = 822.0 ± 1.5 µM). The most active compound 43 was ∼27-fold more active than acarbose. Kinetic study revealed that compounds 43, 40, and 34 were all competitive inhibitors on α-glucosidase with Ki of 10 µM, 52 µM, and 150 µM, respectively. Molecular docking demonstrated that the high active inhibitors interacted with α-glucosidase by four types of interactions, including hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and electrostatic interaction. Among all the interactions, the π-π stacking interaction and hydrogen bond played a significant role in a various range of activities of the compounds.

Design, synthesis and bioactivity of novel glycosylthiadiazole derivatives.

Project description:A series of novel glycosylthiadiazole derivatives, namely 2-phenylamino-5-glycosyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, were designed and synthesized by condensation between sugar aldehydes A/B and substituted thiosemicarbazide C followed by oxidative cyclization by treating with manganese dioxide. The original fungicidal activities results showed that some title compounds exhibited excellent fungicidal activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary and Pyricularia oryzae Cav, especially compounds F-5 and G-8 which displayed better fungicidal activities than the commercial fungicide chlorothalonil. At the same time, the preliminary studies based on the Elson-Morgan method indicated that many compounds exhibited some inhibitory activity toward glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlmS). The structure-activity relationships (SAR) are discussed in terms of the effects of the substituents on both the benzene and the sugar ring.
