Synthesis, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, and COX-1/2 inhibitory activities of cyclic imides bearing 3-benzenesulfonamide, oxime, and β-phenylalanine scaffolds: a molecular docking study.

ABSTRACT: Cyclic imides containing 3-benzenesulfonamide, oxime, and β-phenylalanine derivatives were synthesised and evaluated to elucidate their in vivo anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic activity and in vitro cytotoxic effects. Most active anti-inflammatory agents were subjected to in vitro COX-1/2 inhibition assay. 3-Benzenesulfonamides (2-4, and 9), oximes (11-13), and β-phenylalanine derivative (18) showed potential anti-inflammatory activities with 71.2-82.9% oedema inhibition relative to celecoxib and diclofenac (85.6 and 83.4%, respectively). Most active cyclic imides 4, 9, 12, 13, and 18 possessed ED₅₀ of 35.4-45.3 mg kg^-1 relative to that of celecoxib (34.1 mg kg^-1). For the cytotoxic evaluation, the selected derivatives 2-6 and 8 exhibited weak positive cytotoxic effects (PCE = 2/59-5/59) at 10 μM compared to the standard drug, imatinib (PCE = 20/59). Cyclic imides bearing 3-benzenesulfonamide (2-5, and 9), acetophenone oxime (11-14, 18, and 19) exhibited high selectivity against COX-2 with SI > 55.6-333.3 relative to that for celecoxib [SI > 387.6]. β-Phenylalanine derivatives 21-24 and 28 were non-selective towards COX-1/2 isozymes as indicated by their SI of 0.46-0.68.

Pharmacophore model, docking, QSAR, and molecular dynamics simulation studies of substituted cyclic imides and herbal medicines as COX-2 inhibitors.

Project description:Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme inhibitors have not eliminated the necessity for developed drugs not only in the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) area, but also in other therapeutic applications including prevention of cancer and Alzheimer's disease. A series of novel substituted cyclic imides have been reported as selective COX-2 inhibitors. To understand the structural features responsible for their activity, a 3D validated pharmacophore and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model have been developed. The values of enrichment factor (EF), goodness of hit score (GH), area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity refer to the good ability of the pharmacophore model to identify active compounds. Multiple linear regression (MLR) produced statistically significant QSAR model with (R2 training = 0.763, R2 test = 0.96) and predictability (Q2 training = 0.66, Q2 test = 0.84). Then, using the pharmacophore and QSAR models, eight authenticated botanicals in two herbal medicines and the ZINC compounds database, were virtually screened for ligands to COX-2. The retrieved hits which also obey lipinski's rule of five (RO5) were docked in the COX-2 3D structure to investigate their binding mode and affinity. Finally, based on the docking results, nine molecules were prioritized as promising hits that could be used as leads to discover novel COX-2 inhibitors. COX-2 inhibition of most of these hits has not been reported previously. Ten-nanosecond molecular dynamics simulation (10-ns MD) was performed on the initial structure COX-2 complex with ZINC000113253375 and ZINC000043170560 resulted from the docking. Our utilization of the 3D pharmacophore model, QSAR, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation trials can be a potent strategy to successfully predict activity, efficiently design drugs, and screen large numbers of new compounds as active drug candidates.

New Estrone Oxime Derivatives: Synthesis, Cytotoxic Evaluation and Docking Studies.

Project description:The interest in the introduction of the oxime group in molecules aiming to improve their biological effects is increasing. This work aimed to develop new steroidal oximes of the estrane series with potential antitumor interest. For this, several oximes were synthesized by reaction of hydroxylamine with the 17-ketone of estrone derivatives. Then, their cytotoxicity was evaluated in six cell lines. An estrogenicity assay, a cell cycle distribution analysis and a fluorescence microscopy study with Hoechst 3358 staining were performed with the most promising compound. In addition, molecular docking studies against estrogen receptor α, steroid sulfatase, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 and β-tubulin were also accomplished. The 2-nitroestrone oxime showed higher cytotoxicity than the parent compound on MCF-7 cancer cells. Furthermore, the oximes bearing halogen groups in A-ring evidenced selectivity for HepaRG cells. Remarkably, the Δ9,11-estrone oxime was the most cytotoxic and arrested LNCaP cells in the G2/M phase. Fluorescence microscopy studies showed the presence of condensed DNA typical of prophase and condensed and fragmented nuclei characteristic of apoptosis. However, this oxime promoted the proliferation of T47-D cells. Interestingly, molecular docking studies estimated a strong interaction between Δ9,11-estrone oxime and estrogen receptor α and β-tubulin, which may account for the described effects.

Synthesis, docking study and biological evaluation of some new thiourea derivatives bearing benzenesulfonamide moiety.

Project description:BACKGROUND:A series of novel N-(2, 6-dimethoxypyrimidin-4-yl)-4-(3-(aryl)thioureido) benzenesulfonamides 3a-t was synthesized by the addition of N-(2,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-4-yl)-4-isothiocyanatobenzenesulfonamide 2 to the appropriate aromatic amine. The structures of the synthesized compounds were inspired from the second line antituberculosis pro-drugs. RESULTS:Most of the new compounds were screened for their activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The results of the antimycobacterial assay showed that compound 3i exerted the highest activity (MIC = 3.13 µg/mL), followed by compound 3s (MIC = 6.25 µg/mL). CONCLUSION:The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that the introduction of the benzo[1,3]dioxol moiety in 3i and the 4-morpholinyl-4-phenyl moiety in 3s has proven to give the most potent compounds in this study. Docking of the promising compounds inside the active site of M. tuberculosis enoyl reductase InhA was performed in order to emphasize the results. The compounds showed a similar orientation to that of GSK 625 inside the active site of 5JFO and bind to Met 98 in a way similar to that of the co-crystallized ligand.

Synthesis, Molecular Docking Study, and Cytotoxic Activity against MCF Cells of New Thiazole-Thiophene Scaffolds.

Project description:Investigating novel compounds that may be useful in designing new, less toxic, selective, and potent breast anticancer agents is still the main challenge for medicinal chemists. Thus, in the present work, acetylthiophene was used as a building block to synthesize a novel series of thiazole-bearing thiophene derivatives. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated based on elemental analysis and spectral measurements. The cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against MCF-7 tumor cells and compared to a cisplatin reference drug, and against the LLC-Mk2 normal cell line using the MTT assay, and the results revealed promising activities for compounds 4b and 13a. The active compounds were subjected to molecular modeling using MOE 2019, the pharmacokinetics were studied using SwissADME, and a toxicity radar was obtained from the biological screening data. The results obtained from the computational studies supported the results obtained from the anticancer biological studies.

Synthesis, antitumour activities and molecular docking of thiocarboxylic acid ester-based NSAID scaffolds: COX-2 inhibition and mechanistic studies.

Project description:A new series of NSAID thioesters were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antitumor effects against a panel of four human tumor cell lines, namely: HepG2, MCF-7, HCT-116 and Caco-2, using the MTT assay. Compared to the reference drugs 5-FU, afatinib and celecoxib, compounds 2b, 3b, 6a, 7a, 7b and 8a showed potent broad-spectrum antitumor activity against the selected tumour cell lines. Accordingly, these compounds were selected for mechanistic studies about COX inhibition and kinase assays. In vitro COX-1/COX-2 enzyme inhibition assay results indicated that compounds 2b, 3b, 6a, 7a, 7b, 8a and 8 b selectively inhibited the COX-2 enzyme (IC50 = ∼0.20-0.69 μM), with SI values of (>72.5-250) compared with celecoxib (IC50 = 0.16 μM, COX-2 SI: > 312.5); however, all the tested compounds did not inhibit the COX-1 enzyme (IC50 > 50 μM). On the other hand, EGFR, HER2, HER4 and cSrc kinase inhibition assays were evaluated at a 10 μM concentration. The selected candidates displayed limited activities against the various tested kinases; the compounds 2a, 3b, 6a, 7a, 7b and 8a showed no activity to weak activity (% inhibition = ∼0-10%). The molecular docking study revealed the importance of the thioester moiety for the interaction of the drugs with the amino acids in the active sites of COX-2. The aforementioned results indicated that thioester based on NSAID scaffolds derivatives may serve as new antitumor compounds.

Thiazide and other Cl-benzenesulfonamide-bearing clinical drug affinities for human carbonic anhydrases.

Project description:Twelve carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms catalyze carbon dioxide hydration to bicarbonate and acid protons and are responsible for many biological functions in human body. Despite their vital functions, they are also responsible for, or implicated in, numerous ailments and diseases such as glaucoma, high altitude sickness, and cancer. Because CA isoforms are highly homologous, clinical drugs designed to inhibit enzymatic activity of a particular isoform, can also bind to others with similar affinity causing toxic side effects. In this study, the affinities of twelve CA isoforms have been determined for nineteen clinically used drugs used to treat hypertension related diseases, i.e. thiazides, indapamide, and metolazone. Their affinities were determined using a fluorescent thermal shift assay. Stopped flow assay and isothermal titration calorimetry were also employed on a subset of compounds and proteins to confirm inhibition of CA enzymatic activity and verify the quantitative agreement between different assays. The findings of this study showed that pharmaceuticals could bind to human CA isoforms with variable affinities and inhibit their catalytic activity, even though the drug was intended to interact with a different (non-CA) protein target. Relatively minor structural changes of the compounds may cause significant changes in affinity and selectivity for a particular CA isoform.

Unprecedented selective homogeneous cobalt-catalysed reductive alkoxylation of cyclic imides under mild conditions.

Project description:The first general and efficient non-noble metal-catalysed reductive C2-alkoxylation of cyclic imides (phthalimides and succinimides) is presented. Crucial for the success is the use of [Co(BF4)2·6H2O/triphos (L1)] combination and no external additives are required. Using the optimal cobalt-system, the hydrogenation of the aromatic ring of the parent phthalimide is avoided and only one of the carbonyl groups is selectively functionalized. The resulting products, N- and aryl-ring substituted 3-alkoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindolin-1-one and N-substituted 3-alkoxy-pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives, are prepared under mild conditions in good to excellent isolated yields. Intramolecular reductive couplings can also be performed affording tricyclic compounds in a one-step process. The present protocol opens the way to the development of new base-metal processes for the straightforward synthesis of functionalized N-heterocyclic compounds of pharmaceutical and biological interest.

Design, synthesis, structure, in vitro cytotoxic activity evaluation and docking studies on target enzyme GSK-3β of new indirubin-3'-oxime derivatives.

Project description:The addition of chalcone and amine components into indirubin-3'-oxime resulted in 15 new derivatives with high yields. Structures of new derivatives were also elucidated through 1D, 2D-NMR and HR-MS(ESI) spectra and X-ray crystallography. All designed compounds were screened for cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines (HepG2, LU-1, SW480 and HL-60) and one human normal kidney cell line (HEK-293). Compound 6f exhibited the most marked cytotoxicity meanwhile cytotoxicity of compounds 6e, 6h and 6l was more profound toward cancer cell lines than toward normal cell. These new derivatives were further analyzed via molecular docking studies on GSK-3β enzyme. Docking analysis shows that most of the derivatives exhibited potential inhibition activity against GSK-3β with characteristic interacting residues in the binding site. The fast pulling of ligand scheme was then employed to refine the binding affinity and mechanism between ligands and GSK-3β enzyme. The computational results are expected to contribute to predicting enzyme target of the trial inhibitors and their possible interaction, from which the design of new cytotoxic agents could be created in the future.
