Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking analysis of vaniline-benzylidenehydrazine hybrids as potent tyrosinase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: In this work, 11 novel compounds based on vaniline and benzylidenehydrazine structure were synthesized with various substituents on phenyl aromatic ring of the molecule and evaluated as tyrosinase inhibitors. These new derivatives showed significant anti-tyrosinase activities, among which 4i demonstrated to be the most potent compound, with IC50 values of 1.58 µM?. The structure-activity relationship study of the novel constructed analogs was fully discussed. Kinetic study of compound 4i showed uncompetitive inhibition towards tyrosinase. Furthermore, the high potency of 4i was supported theoretically by molecular docking evaluations.

Tetrahydroquinolinone derivatives as potent P-glycoprotein inhibitors: design, synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking analysis.

Project description:P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a transmembrane efflux pump that has been associated with ineffective cancer chemotherapy and multidrug resistance (MDR). Chemical inhibitors of P-gp could have potential cancer therapeutic applications by preventing or reversing MDR. To exploit this, we designed twenty-five tetrahydroquinolinone analogs bearing pyridyl methyl carboxylate at C3 and different substituents at C4 as MDR reversal agents. The inhibitory effects of the synthesized compounds against P-gp were assessed by flow cytometric determination of rhodamine 123 accumulation in P-gp over-expressing MES-SA/DX5 cells. Fluorescence imaging of intracellular rhodamine 123 accumulation in MES-SA/DX5 cells was also performed. Furthermore, the effect of active derivatives on the reduction of doxorubicin's IC50 in MES-SA/DX5 cells was evaluated using MTT assay. Molecular docking was used to confirm the binding mode of some of the synthesized compounds. Five compounds in group A, bearing a 2-pyridyl methyl ester substituent at the C3 position, significantly increased rhodamine accumulation at 25 μM comparable to verapamil, a well-established P-gp inhibitor, while only 2 compounds in group B bearing 3-pyridyl methyl ester at the same position had this effect. This study shows that tetrahydroquinolinones containing methyl pyridine esters could represent an attractive scaffold for the discovery of P-gp inhibitors as MDR reversal agents in cancer cells.

Potent Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitors, Pyrazolo-Oxothiazolidines: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, Molecular Docking, and Kinetic Studies.

Project description:To develop new alkaline phosphatase inhibitors (ALP), a series of pyrazolo-oxothiazolidine derivatives were synthesized and biologically assessed, and the results showed that all of the synthesized compounds significantly inhibited ALP. Specifically, compound 7g displayed the strongest inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.045 ± 0.004 μM), which is 116-fold more active than monopotassium phosphate (IC50 = 5.242 ± 0.472 μM) as a standard reference. The most potent compound among the series (7g) was checked for its mode of binding with the enzyme and shown as non-competitively binding with the target enzyme. The antioxidant activity of these compounds was examined to investigate the radical scavenging effect. Moreover, the MTT assay method was performed to evaluate their toxic effects on the viability of MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells, and all compounds have no toxic effect on the cells at 4 μM. Computational research was also conducted to examine the binding affinity of the ligands with alkaline phosphatase, and the results revealed that all compounds showed good binding energy values within the active site of the target. Therefore, these novel pyrazolo-oxothiazolidine derivatives might be employed as promising pharmacophores for potent and selective alkaline phosphatase inhibitors.

Monosubstituted Acetophenone Thiosemicarbazones as Potent Inhibitors of Tyrosinase: Synthesis, Inhibitory Studies, and Molecular Docking.

Project description:A set of 12 monosubstituted acetophenone thiosemicarbazone derivatives (TSCs) were synthesized and their inhibitory properties toward tyrosinase activity were tested. Moreover, their ability to inhibit melanogenesis in the B16F10 murine melanoma cell line was studied. In order to investigate the nature of interactions between the enzyme and the inhibitors, molecular docking to the active site was performed. TSCs 5, 6, 8, and 9 revealed a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) below 1 µM. Compound 6 turned out to be the most potent tyrosinase inhibitor. All investigated compounds showed reversible inhibition of competitive or mixed type. The para-substituted TSCs had higher affinity for the enzyme as compared to their ortho- and meta-analogues. All investigated compounds inhibited melanin production in B16F10 cells at the micromolar level. Molecular docking showed that the sulfur atom of the thiourea moiety penetrates the active site and interacts with copper ions. The above outcomes might be helpful in the design of new tyrosinase inhibitors in the food and cosmetic industries.

Pyrrolizine/Indolizine-NSAID Hybrids: Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking Studies.

Project description:In the current study, eight new hybrids of the NSAIDs, ibuprofen and ketoprofen with five pyrrolizine/indolizine derivatives were designed and synthesized. The chemical structures of these hybrids were confirmed by spectral and elemental analyses. The antiproliferative activities of these hybrids (5 μM) was investigated against MCF-7, A549, and HT-29 cancer cell lines using the cell viability assay, MTT assay. The results revealed 4-71% inhibition of the growth of the three cancer cell lines, where 8a,e,f were the most active. In addition, an investigation of the antiproliferative activity of 8a,e,f against MCF-7 cells revealed IC50 values of 7.61, 1.07, and 3.16 μM, respectively. Cell cycle analysis of MCF-7 cells treated with the three hybrids at 5 μM revealed a pro-apoptotic increase in cells at preG1 and cell cycle arrest at the G1 and S phases. In addition, the three hybrids induced early apoptotic events in MCF-7 cells. The results of the molecular docking of the three hybrids into COX-1/2 revealed higher binding free energies than their parent compounds 5a,c and the co-crystallized ligands, ibuprofen and SC-558. The results also indicated higher binding free energies toward COX-2 over COX-1. Moreover, analysis of the binding modes of 8a,e,f into COX-2 revealed partial superposition with the co-crystallized ligand, SC-558 with the formation of essential hydrogen bonds, electrostatic, or hydrophobic interactions with the key amino acid His90 and Arg513. The new hybrids also showed drug-likeness scores in the range of 1.06-2.03 compared to ibuprofen (0.65) and ketoprofen (0.57). These results above indicated that compounds 8a,e,f deserve additional investigation as potential anticancer candidates.

Project description:In this study novel derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole pyridine coupled with Schiff base were obtained in altered aromatic aldehyde and 4-((5-(pyridin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)methyl)benzenamine reactions. Thin layer chromatography and melting point determination were employed to verify the purity of hybrid derivatives. The structures of the hybrid derivatives were interpreted using methods comprising infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopy. The in vitro anti-microbial properties and minimum inhibitory concentration were determined with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Among the derivatives produced, two derivatives comprising (Z)-2-((4-((5-(pyridine-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)methyl)phenylimino)methyl)phenoland (Z)-2-methoxy-5-((4-((5-(pyridine-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3- ylthio)methyl)phenylimino)methyl)phenol obtained promising results as antibacterial agents. After synthesizing different derivatives, docking studies were performed and the scores range from -10.3154 to -12.962 kcal/mol.

Discovery of Novel Naphthoquinone-Chalcone Hybrids as Potent FGFR1 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling.

Project description:This work presents a flexible synthesis of 10 novel naphthoquinone-chalcone derivatives (1-10) by nucleophilic substitution of readily accessible aminochalcones and 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone. All compounds displayed broad-spectrum cytotoxic activities against all the tested cancer cell lines (i.e., HuCCA-1, HepG2, A549, MOLT-3, T47D, and MDA-MB-231) with IC50 values in the range of 0.81-62.06 μM, especially the four most potent compounds 1, 3, 8, and 9. The in vitro investigation on the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) inhibitory effect indicated that eight derivatives (1-2, 4-5, and 7-10) were active FGFR1 inhibitors (IC50 = 0.33-3.13 nM) with more potency than that of the known FGFR1 inhibitor, AZD4547 (IC50 = 12.17 nM). Promisingly, compounds 5 (IC50 = 0.33 ± 0.01 nM), 9 (IC50 = 0.50 ± 0.04 nM), and 7 (IC50 = 0.85 ± 0.08 nM) were the three most potent FGFR1 inhibitors. Molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and MM/GBSA-based free energy calculation revealed that the key amino acid residues involved in the binding of the compounds 5, 7, and 9 and the target FGFR1 protein were similar with those of the AZD4547 (i.e., Val492, Lys514, Ile545, Val561, Ala640, and Asp641). These findings revealed that the newly synthesized naphthoquinone-chalcone scaffold is a promising structural feature for an efficient inhibition of FGFR1.

Synthesis, DFT Studies, Molecular Docking and Biological Activity Evaluation of Thiazole-Sulfonamide Derivatives as Potent Alzheimer's Inhibitors.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease is a major public brain condition that has resulted in many deaths, as revealed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Conventional Alzheimer's treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy are not very effective and are usually associated with several adverse effects. Therefore, it is necessary to find a new therapeutic approach that completely treats Alzheimer's disease without many side effects. In this research project, we report the synthesis and biological activities of some new thiazole-bearing sulfonamide analogs (1-21) as potent anti-Alzheimer's agents. Suitable characterization techniques were employed, and the density functional theory (DFT) computational approach, as well as in-silico molecular modeling, has been employed to assess the electronic properties and anti-Alzheimer's potency of the analogs. All analogs exhibited a varied degree of inhibitory potential, but analog 1 was found to have excellent potency (IC50 = 0.10 ± 0.05 µM for AChE) and (IC50 = 0.20 ± 0.050 µM for BuChE) as compared to the reference drug donepezil (IC50 = 2.16 ± 0.12 µM and 4.5 ± 0.11 µM). The structure-activity relationship was established, and it mainly depends upon the nature, position, number, and electron-donating/-withdrawing effects of the substituent/s on the phenyl rings.

Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking of Novel Indole-Aminoquinazoline Hybrids for Anticancer Properties.

Project description:A series of indole-aminoquinazolines was prepared via amination of the 2-aryl-4-chloroquinazolines with the 7-amino-2-aryl-5-bromoindoles. It was then evaluated for cytotoxicity in vitro against human lung cancer (A549), epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2), hepatocellular carcinoma (C3A), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), and cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. A combination on the quinazoline and indole moieties of a 2-phenyl and 2-(4-fluorophenyl) rings in compound 4b; 2-(4-fluorophenyl) and 3-chlorophenyl rings in compound 4f; or the two 2-(4-fluorophenyl) rings in compound 4g, resulted in significant and moderate activity against the Caco-2 and C3A cell lines. The indole-aminoquinazoline hybrids compounds 4f and 4g induced apoptosis in Caco-2 and C3A cells, and were also found to exhibit moderate (IC50 = 52.5 nM) and significant (IC50 = 40.7 nM) inhibitory activity towards epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) against gefitinib (IC50 = 38.9 nM). Molecular docking suggests that 4a?h could bind to the ATP region of EGFR like erlotinib.

Benzofuran-appended 4-aminoquinazoline hybrids as epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors: synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies.

Project description:A series of 2-arylbenzo[b]furan-appended 4-aminoquinazoline hybrids were prepared and evaluated for cytotoxicity in vitro against the human lung cancer (A549), colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2), hepatocellular carcinoma (C3A) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines. Compounds 10d and 10j exhibited significant cytotoxicity against the C3A and Caco-2 cell lines and induced apoptosis in these cell lines. Likewise, compounds 10d and 10e exhibited significant inhibitory activity towards epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase phosphorylation (IC50 values of 29.3?nM and 31.1?nM, respectively) against Gefitinib (IC50?=?33.1?nM). Molecular docking of compounds 10 into EGFR-TK active site suggests that they bind to the region of EGFR like Gefitinib does. [Formula: see text].

Biological Evaluation and Docking Analysis of Potent BACE1 Inhibitors from Boesenbergia rotunda.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive impairment of cognitive functions. Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme1 (BACE1) is essential for the formation of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ), a major constituent of amyloid plaques that represent a neuropathological hallmark of this disorder. To find alternative therapies for AD sourced from natural products, the present study focused on three flavonoids from Boesenbergia rotunda, namely, cardamonin, pinocembrin, and pinostrobin. Biological evaluation showed that cardamonin presented the strongest BACE1 inhibition, with an The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 4.35 ± 0.38 µM, followed by pinocembrin and pinostrobin with 27.01 ± 2.12 and 28.44 ± 1.96 µM, respectively. Kinetic studies indicated that the inhibitory constants (Ki) for cardamonin, pinocembrin, and pinostrobin against BACE1 were 5.1, 29.3, and 30.9 µM, respectively. Molecular docking studies showed that the tested compounds did not bind to the BACE1 active site, consistent with the biological results, illustrating non-competitive inhibitory activity for all three compounds. In addition, the lowest binding energy of the most proposed complexes of cardamonin, pinocembrin, and pinostrobin with BACE1 were -9.5, -7.9, and -7.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Overall, we provide the first evidence that these flavonoids from B. rotunda may be considered as promising AD preventative agents through inhibition of Aβ formation.
