N-Aryl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline Carbothioamide Analogues as Potential Urease Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: N-Aryl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline carbothioamide analogues 1-22 were synthesized by a simple one-step reaction protocol and subjected to in vitro urease inhibition studies for the first time. All compounds 1-22 were found active and showed significant to moderate urease inhibitory potential. Specifically, analogues 1, 2, 4, and 7 were identified to be more potent (IC₅₀ = 11.2 ± 0.81-20.4 ± 0.22 μM) than the standard thiourea (IC₅₀ = 21.7 ± 0.34 μM). The structure-activity relationship showed that compounds bearing electron-donating groups showed superior activity. Molecular docking study on the most active derivatives revealed a good protein-ligand interaction profile against the corresponding target with key interactions, including hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and π-anion interactions.

In Silico Screening for Novel Leucine Aminopeptidase Inhibitors with 3,4-Dihydroisoquinoline Scaffold.

Project description:Cancers are the leading cause of deaths worldwide. In 2018, an estimated 18.1 million new cancer cases and 9.6 million cancer-related deaths occurred globally. Several previous studies have shown that the enzyme, leucine aminopeptidase is involved in pathological conditions such as cancer. On the basis of the knowledge that isoquinoline alkaloids have antiproliferative activity and inhibitory activity towards leucine aminopeptidase, the present study was conducted a study which involved database search, virtual screening, and design of new potential leucine aminopeptidase inhibitors with a scaffold based on 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline. These compounds were then filtered through Lipinski's "rule of five," and 25 081 of them were then subjected to molecular docking. Next, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study was performed for the selected group of compounds with the best binding score results. The developed model, calculated by leave-one-out method, showed acceptable predictive and descriptive capability as represented by standard statistical parameters r2 (0.997) and q2 (0.717). Further, 35 compounds were identified to have an excellent predictive reliability. Finally, nine selected compounds were evaluated for drug-likeness and different pharmacokinetics parameters such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity. Our methodology suggested that compounds with 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline moiety were potentially active in inhibiting leucine aminopeptidase and could be used for further in-depth in vitro and in vivo studies.

1-Oxo-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-4-carboxamides as novel druglike inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) with favourable ADME characteristics.

Project description:A novel 3,4-dihydroisoquinol-1-one-4-carboxamide scaffold was designed as the basis for the development of novel inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisoquinol-1-one-4-carboxylic acids was achieved using the previously developed protocol based on the modified Castagnoli-Cushman reaction of homophthalic anhydrides and 1,3,5-triazinanes as formaldimine synthetic equivalents. Employment of 2,4-dimethoxy groups on the nitrogen atom of the latter allowed preparation of 2,3-unsubatituted 3,4-dihydroquinolone core building blocks. Iterative synthesis and in vitro biological testing of the amides resulting from the amidation of these carboxylic acids allowed not only drawing important structure-activity generalisations (corroborated by in silico docking simulation) but also the identification of the lead compound, 4-([1,4'-bipiperidine]-1'-carbonyl)-7-fluoro-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one, as the candidate for further preclinical development. The lead compound as well as its des-fluoro analog were compared to the approved PARP1 inhibitor, anticancer drug Olaparib, in terms of their molecular characteristics defining druglikeness as well as experimentally determined ADME parameters. The newly developed series demonstrated clear advantages over Olaparib in terms of molecular weight, hydrophilicity, human liver microsomal and plasma stability as well as plasma protein binding. Further preclinical investigation of the lead compound is highly warranted.

Complexes of N- and O-Donor Ligands as Potential Urease Inhibitors.

Project description:We report five new transition-metal complexes that inhibit the urease enzyme. Barbituric acid (BTA), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), isoniazid (INZ), and nicotinamide (NCA) ligands were employed in complexation reactions. The resulting complexes were characterized using a variety of analytical techniques including infra-red and UV-vis spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. We describe two mononuclear complexes with a general formula {[M(NCA)2(H2O)4](BTA)2(H2O)}, where M = Co (1) and Zn (2), a mononuclear complex {[Ni(NCA)2(H2O)4](TBA)2(H2O)} (3), and two polymeric chains of a general formula {[M(INZ) (H2O)3](BTA)2(H2O)3}, where M = Co (4) and Zn (5). These complexes displayed significant urease enzyme inhibition with IC50 values in the range of 3.9-19.9 μM.

Synthesis, in vitro urease inhibitory potential and molecular docking study of benzofuran-based-thiazoldinone analogues.

Project description:In continuation of our work on enzyme inhibition, the benzofuran-based-thiazoldinone analogues (1-14) were synthesized, characterized by HREI-MS, 1H and 13CNMR and evaluated for urease inhibition. Compounds 1-14 exhibited a varying degree of urease inhibitory activity with IC50 values between 1.2 ± 0.01 to 23.50 ± 0.70 µM when compared with standard drug thiourea having IC50 value 21.40 ± 0.21 µM. Compound 1, 3, 5 and 8 showed significant inhibitory effects with IC50 values 1.2 ± 0.01, 2.20 ± 0.01, 1.40 ± 0.01 and 2.90 ± 0.01 µM respectively, better than the rest of the series. A structure activity relationship (SAR) of this series has been established based on electronic effects and position of different substituents present on phenyl ring. Molecular docking studies were performed to understand the binding interaction of the compounds.

Functionalized Oxoindolin Hydrazine Carbothioamide Derivatives as Highly Potent Inhibitors of Nucleoside Triphosphate Diphosphohydrolases.

Project description:Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) are ectoenzymes that play an important role in the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphate and diphosphate to nucleoside monophosphate. NTPDase1, -2, -3 and -8 are the membrane bound members of this enzyme family that are responsible for regulating the levels of nucleotides in extracellular environment. However, the pathophysiological functions of these enzymes are not fully understood due to lack of potent and selective NTPDase inhibitors. Herein, a series of oxoindolin hydrazine carbothioamide derivatives is synthesized and screened for NTPDase inhibitory activity. Four compounds were identified as selective inhibitors of h-NTPDase1 having IC50 values in lower micromolar range, these include compounds 8b (IC50 = 0.29 ± 0.02 µM), 8e (IC50 = 0.15 ± 0.009 µM), 8f (IC50 = 0.24 ± 0.01 µM) and 8l (IC50 = 0.30 ± 0.03 µM). Similarly, compound 8k (IC50 = 0.16 ± 0.01 µM) was found to be a selective h-NTPDase2 inhibitor. In case of h-NTPDase3, most potent inhibitors were compounds 8c (IC50 = 0.19 ± 0.02 µM) and 8m (IC50 = 0.38 ± 0.03 µM). Since NTPDase3 has been reported to be associated with the regulation of insulin secretion, we evaluated our synthesized NTPDase3 inhibitors for their ability to stimulate insulin secretion in isolated mice islets. Promising results were obtained showing that compound 8m potently stimulated insulin secretion without affecting the NTPDase3 gene expression. Molecular docking studies of the most potent compounds were also carried out to rationalize binding site interactions. Hence, these compounds are useful tools to study the role of NTPDase3 in insulin secretion.

Substituted Benzimidazole Analogues as Potential α-Amylase Inhibitors and Radical Scavengers.

Project description:Benzimidazole scaffolds are known to have a diverse range of biological activities and found to be antidiabetic and antioxidant. In this study, a variety of arylated benzimidazoles 1-31 were synthesized. Except for compounds 1, 6, 7, and 8, all are new derivatives. All compounds were screened for α-amylase inhibitory, 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities. In vitro screening results revealed that all molecules demonstrated significant α-amylase inhibition with IC50 values of 1.86 ± 0.08 to 3.16 ± 0.31 μM as compared to standard acarbose (IC50 = 1.46 ± 0.26 μM). However, compounds showed significant ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging potentials with IC50 values in the range of 1.37 ± 0.21 to 4.00 ± 0.10 μM for ABTS and 1.36 ± 0.09 to 3.60 ± 0.20 μM for DPPH radical scavenging activities when compared to ascorbic acid with IC50 values of 0.72 ± 0.21 and 0.73 ± 0.05 μM for ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging potentials, respectively. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) was established after critical analysis of varying substitution effects on α-amylase inhibitory and radical scavenging (ABTS and DPPH) potentials. However, molecular docking was also performed to figure out the active participation of different groups of synthetic molecules during binding with the active pocket of the α-amylase enzyme.

Scaffold Hopping Toward Agomelatine: Novel 3, 4-Dihydroisoquinoline Compounds as Potential Antidepressant Agents.

Project description:A scaffold-hopping strategy toward Agomelatine based on in silico screening and knowledge analysis was employed to design novel antidepressant agents. A series of 3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline compounds were selected for chemical synthesis and biological assessment. Three compounds (6a-1, 6a-2, 6a-9) demonstrated protective effects on corticosterone-induced lesion of PC12 cells. Compound 6a-1 also displayed low inhibitory effects on the growth of HEK293 and L02 normal cells and it was further evaluated for its potential antidepressant effects in vivo. The forced swim test (FST) results revealed that compound 6a-1 remarkably reduced the immobility time of rats and the open field test (OFT) results indicated a better general locomotor activity of the rats treated with compound 6a-1 than those with Agomelatine or Fluoxetine. Mechanism studies implied that compound 6a-1 can significantly reduce PC12 cell apoptosis by up-regulation of GSH and down-regulation of ROS in corticosterone-induced lesion of PC12 cells. Meanwhile, the down-regulation of calcium ion concentration and up-regulation of BDNF level in PC12 cells may account for the neuroprotective effects. Furthermore, compound 6a-1 can increase cell survival and cell proliferation, promote cell maturation in the rat hippocampus after chronic treatment. The acute toxicity data in vivo indicated compound 6a-1 exhibited less hepatotoxicity than Agomelatine.

Novel Aminoguanidine Hydrazone Analogues: From Potential Antimicrobial Agents to Potent Cholinesterase Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of thirty-one hydrazones of aminoguanidine, nitroaminoguanidine, 1,3-diaminoguanidine, and (thio)semicarbazide were prepared from various aldehydes, mainly chlorobenzaldehydes, halogenated salicylaldehydes, 5-nitrofurfural, and isatin (yields of 50-99%). They were characterized by spectral methods. Primarily, they were designed and evaluated as potential broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. The compounds were effective against Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) from 7.8 µM, as well as Gram-negative strains with higher MIC. Antifungal evaluation against yeasts and Trichophyton mentagrophytes found MIC from 62.5 µM. We also evaluated inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The compounds inhibited both enzymes with IC50 values of 17.95-54.93 µM for AChE and ≥1.69 µM for BuChE. Based on the substitution, it is possible to modify selectivity for a particular cholinesterase as we obtained selective inhibitors of either AChE or BuChE, as well as balanced inhibitors. The compounds act via mixed-type inhibition. Their interactions with enzymes were studied by molecular docking. Cytotoxicity was assessed in HepG2 cells. The hydrazones differ in their toxicity (IC50 from 5.27 to >500 µM). Some of the derivatives represent promising hits for further development. Based on the substitution pattern, it is possible to modulate bioactivity to the desired one.
