Project description:The newly synthesized quinoline-benzimidazole hybrids containing two types of triazole-methyl-phenoxy linkers were characterized via NMR and elemental analysis. Additional derivatization was achieved by introducing bromine at the C-2 position of the phenoxy core. These novel hybrids were tested for their effects on the growth of the non-tumor cell line MRC-5 (human fetal lung fibroblasts), leukemia and lymphoma cell lines: Hut78, THP-1 and HL-60, and carcinoma cell lines: HeLa and CaCo-2. The results obtained, presented as the concentration that achieves 50% inhibition of cell growth (IC50 value), show that the compounds tested affect tumor cell growth differently depending on the cell line and the dose applied (IC50 ranged from 0.2 to >100 µM). The quinoline-benzimidazole hybrids tested, including 7-chloro-4-(4-{[4-(5-methoxy-1H-1,3-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenoxy]methyl}-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)quinoline 9c, 2-(3-bromo-4-{[1-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methoxy}phenyl)-N-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-carboximidamide trihydrochloride 10e, 2-{4-[(1-{2-[(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)amino]ethyl}-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy]phenyl}-N-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-carboximidamide trihydrochloride 14e and 2-{3-bromo-4-[(1-{2-[(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)amino]ethyl}-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy]phenyl}-N-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-carboximidamide trihydrochloride 15e, arrested the cell cycle of lymphoma (HuT78) cells. The calculated ADMET properties showed that the synthesized compounds violated at most two of Lipinski's rules, making them potential drug candidates, but mainly for parenteral use due to low gastrointestinal absorption. The quinoline-benzimidazole hybrid 14e, which was shown to be a potent and selective inhibitor of lymphoma cell line growth, obtained the highest binding energy (-140.44 kcal/mol), by docking to the TAO2 kinase domain (PDB: 2GCD).

Project description:In the present work, 12 novel Schiff's bases containing a thiadiazole scaffold and benzamide groups coupled through appropriate pharmacophore were synthesized. These moieties are associated with important biological properties. A facile, solvent-free synthesis of a series of novel 7(a-l) N-((5-(substituted methylene amino)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)methyl) benzamide was carried out under microwave irradiation. Structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, NMR, mass spectral study and elemental analysis. All the synthesized hybrids were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against a panel of four human cancer cell lines, viz. SK-MEL-2 (melanoma), HL-60 (leukemia), HeLa (cervical cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer) and normal breast epithelial cell (MCF-10A) using 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay method. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited promising anticancer activity, showed comparable GI50 values comparable to that of the standard drug Adriamycin. The compounds 7k, 7l, 7b, and 7a were found to be the most promising anticancer agents in this study. A molecular docking study was performed to predict the probable mechanism of action and computational study of the synthesized compounds 7(a-l) was performed to predict absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) properties, by using QikProp v3.5 (Schrödinger LLC). The results showed the good oral drug-like behavior of the synthesized compounds 7(a-l).

Project description:Thirty phenolic ether derivatives of scopoletin modified at the 7-hydroxy position were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Preliminary acaricidal activities of these compounds against female adults of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) were evaluated using the slide-dip method. The results indicated that some of these compounds exhibit more pronounced acaricidal activity than scopoletin, especially compounds 32, 20, 28, 27 and 8 which exhibited about 8.41-, 7.32-, 7.23-, 6.76-, and 6.65-fold higher acaricidal potency. Compound 32 possessed the the most promising acaricidal activity and exhibited about 1.45-fold higher acaricidal potency against T. cinnabarinus than propargite. Statistically significant 2D-QSAR model supports the observed acaricidal activities and reveals that polarizability (HATS5p) was the most important parameter controlling bioactivity. 3D-QSAR (CoMFA: q² = 0.802, r² = 0.993; CoMSIA: q² = 0.735, r² = 0.965) results show that bulky substituents at R₄, R₁, R₂ and R₅ (C₆, C₃, C₄, and C₇) positions, electron positive groups at R₅ (C₇) position, hydrophobic groups at R₁ (C₃) and R₂ (C₄), H-bond donors groups at R₁ (C₃) and R₄ (C₆) will increase their acaricidal activity, which provide a good insight into the molecular features relevant to the acaricidal activity for further designing novel acaricidal agents. Molecular docking demonstrates that these selected derivatives display different bide modes with TcPMCA1 from lead compound and they interact with more key amino acid residues than scopoletin. In silico ADME properties of scopoletin and its phenolic ether derivatives were also analyzed and showed potential to develop as good acaricidal candidates.

Project description:In this innovative research, a novel series of thiazolidin-4-one analogues having a 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole moiety were derived and the structures of all the newly obtained molecules were established using different physicochemical and analytical means (1H-NMR, FTIR, mass spectra, and elemental analyses). The synthesized molecules were then investigated for their antiproliferative, antimicrobial, and antioxidant potential. The cytotoxicity screening studies revealed that analogues D-1, D-6, D-15, and D-16 possessed comparable efficacy, within the IC50 range (1 to 7 μM), when taking doxorubicin as a reference drug (IC50 = 0.5 μM). The antimicrobial activity was assessed using different Gram-(+) and Gram-(-) bacterial and fungal strains and the results revealed that molecules D-2, D-4, D-6, D-19, and D-20 possessed potent activity against selective strains of microbes with MIC ranges of 3.58 to 8.74 µM. The antioxidant evaluation was performed using the DPPH assay and the screening results revealed that analogue D-16 was the most potent derivative (IC50 = 22.3 µM) when compared with the positive control, ascorbic acid (IC50 = 111.6 µM). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of the synthesized novel derivatives revealed that para-substituted halogen and hydroxy derivatives have remarkable potential against the MCF-7 cancer cell line and antioxidant potential. Similarly, electron-withdrawing groups (Cl/NO2) and -donating groups at the para position possess moderate to promising antimicrobial potential.

Project description:Human cells utilize a variety of complex DNA repair mechanisms in order to combat constant mutagenic and cytotoxic threats from both exogenous and endogenous sources. The RecQ family of DNA helicases, which includes Bloom helicase (BLM), plays an important function in DNA repair by unwinding complementary strands of duplex DNA as well as atypical DNA structures such as Holliday junctions. Mutations of the BLM gene can result in Bloom syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder associated with cancer predisposition. BLM-deficient cells exhibit increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents indicating that a selective BLM inhibitor could be useful in potentiating the anticancer activity of these agents. In this work, we describe the medicinal chemistry optimization of the hit molecule following a quantitative high-throughput screen of >355,000 compounds. These efforts lead to the identification of ML216 and related analogs, which possess potent BLM inhibition and exhibit selectivity over related helicases. Moreover, these compounds demonstrated cellular activity by inducing sister chromatid exchanges, a hallmark of Bloom syndrome.

Project description:In this study, new 7-chloro-4-aminoquinoline-benzimidazole compounds were synthesized and characterized by NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. These novel hybrids differ in the type of linker and in the substituent on the benzimidazole moiety. Their antiproliferative activities were evaluated on one non-tumor (MDCK1) and seven selected tumor (CaCo-2, MCF-7, CCRF-CEM, Hut78, THP-1, and Raji) cell lines by MTT test and flow cytometry analysis. The compounds with different types of linkers and an unsubstituted benzimidazole ring, 5d, 8d, and 12d, showed strong cytotoxic activity (the GI50 ranged from 0.4 to 8 µM) and effectively suppressed the cell cycle progression in the leukemia and lymphoma cells. After 24 h of treatment, compounds 5d and 12d induced the disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential as well as apoptosis in HuT78 cells. The drug-like properties and bioavailability of the compounds were calculated using the Swiss ADME web tool, and a molecular docking study was performed on tyrosine-protein kinase c-Src (PDB: 3G6H). Compound 12d showed good solubility and permeability and bound to c-Src with an energy of -119.99 kcal/mol, forming hydrogen bonds with Glu310 and Asp404 in the active site and other residues with van der Waals interactions. The results suggest that compound 12d could be a leading compound in the further design of effective antitumor drugs.

Project description:PIM2 kinase plays a crucial role in the cell cycle events including survival, proliferation, and differentiation in normal and neoplastic neuronal cells. Thus, it is regarded as an essential target for cancer pharmaceutical. Design of novel 5-(1H-indol-5-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine derivatives with enhanced PIM2 inhibitory activity. A series of twenty-five PIM2 inhibitors reported in the literature containing 5-(1H-indol-5-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amines scaffold was studied by using two computational techniques, namely, three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) and molecular docking. The comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indexes analysis (CoMSIA) studies were developed using nineteen molecules having pIC50 ranging from 8.222 to 4.157. The best generated CoMFA and CoMSIA models exhibit conventional determination coefficients R2 of 0.91 and 0.90 as well as the Leave One Out cross-validation determination coefficients Q2 of 0.68 and 0.62, respectively. Moreover, the predictive ability of those models was evaluated by the external validation using a test set of six compounds with predicted determination coefficients Rtest 2 of 0.96 and 0.96, respectively. Besides, y-randomization test was also performed to validate our 3D-QSAR models. The most and the least active compounds were docked into the active site of the protein (PDB ID: 4?×?7q) to confirm those obtained results from 3D-QSAR models and elucidate the binding mode between this kind of compounds and the PIM2 enzyme. These satisfactory results are not offered help only to understand the binding mode of 5-(1H-indol-5-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol series compounds into this kind of targets, but provide information to design new potent PIM2 inhibitors.

Project description:An efficient synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles was successfully achieved through one-pot multi-component condensation reactions of some aromatic aldehydes or indolin-2,3-dione with malononitrile and sodium azide using diverse reaction conditions to obtain considerable product yields. Furthermore, it has been achieved for the first time to construct desired products under neat condition. Molecular docking studies with CSNK2A1 receptor disclosed the lowest binding energy displayed by the dimethoxyphenyl derivative 4c with - 6.8687 kcal/mol. The synthesized tetrazoles were screened for their in-vitro cytotoxic activity against epidermoid cancer cell line (A431) and colon cancer line (HCT116) with respect to normal skin fibroblast cell line (BJ-1) using MTT assay, and antimicrobial activity against the bacteria: K. pneumonia, S. aureus, and the fungi: Candida albicans, as well as their antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay. In addition, the toxicity of tetrazole derivative was assessed by determination of their approximate lethal dose fifty (LD50), calculated via an oral administration to rats, through measurement of ALT and bilirubin levels in serum. The antitumor results can suggest that the potent tetrazole derivative namely, 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)acrylonitrile (4c) could be a potential drug against epidermoid carcinoma. The antioxidant results indicated to tetrazoles exhibited great antioxidant properties even at very low doses. A molecular dynamics simulation was performed for the synthesized compounds (ligands) to investigate their tendency for binding with the active sites of protein.

Project description:A novel graphene-based composite, 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (MTA) covalently functionalized graphene oxide (GO-MTA), was rationally developed and used for the selective sorption of Ga3+ from aqueous solutions, showing a higher adsorption capacity (48.20 mg g-1) toward Ga3+ than In3+ (15.41 mg g-1) and Sc3+ (~0 mg g-1). The adsorption experiment's parameters, such as the contact time, temperature, initial Ga3+ concentration, solution pH, and desorption solvent, were investigated. Under optimized conditions, the GO-MTA composite displayed the highest adsorption capacity of 55.6 mg g-1 toward Ga3+. Moreover, a possible adsorption mechanism was proposed using various characterization methods, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), elemental mapping analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Ga3+ adsorption with the GO-MTA composite could be better described by the linear pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.962), suggesting that the rate-limiting step may be chemical sorption or chemisorption through the sharing or exchange of electrons between the adsorbent and the adsorbate. Importantly, the calculated qe value (55.066 mg g-1) is closer to the experimental result (55.60 mg g-1). The well-fitted linear Langmuir isothermal model (R2 = 0.972~0.997) confirmed that an interfacial monolayer and cooperative adsorption occur on a heterogeneous surface. The results showed that the GO-MTA composite might be a potential adsorbent for the enrichment and/or separation of Ga3+ at low or ultra-low concentrations in aqueous solutions.
