Lipophilicity, Pharmacokinetic Properties, and Molecular Docking Study on SARS-CoV-2 Target for Betulin Triazole Derivatives with Attached 1,4-Quinone.

ABSTRACT: A key parameter in the design of new active compounds is lipophilicity, which influences the solubility and permeability through membranes. Lipophilicity affects the pharmacodynamic and toxicological profiles of compounds. These parameters can be determined experimentally or by using different calculation methods. The aim of the research was to determine the lipophilicity of betulin triazole derivatives with attached 1,4-quinone using thin layer chromatography in a reverse phase system and a computer program to calculate its theoretical model. The physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties were also determined by computer programs. For all obtained parameters, the similarity analysis and multilinear regression were determined. The analyses showed that there is a relationship between structure and properties under study. The molecular docking study showed that betulin triazole derivatives with attached 1,4-quinone could inhibit selected SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The MLR regression showed that there is a correlation between affinity scoring values (ΔG) and the physicochemical properties of the tested compounds.

Lipophilicity and ADMET Analysis of Quinoline-1,4-quinone Hybrids.

Project description:Lipophilicity is one of the basic properties of a potential drug determining its solubility in non-polar solvents and, consequently, its ability to passively penetrate the cell membrane, as well as the occurrence of various pharmacokinetic processes, including adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Heterocyclic compounds containing a nitrogen atom play a significant role in the search for new drugs. In this study, lipophilicity as well as other physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicity properties affecting the bioavailability of the quinolone-1,4-quinone hybrids are presented. Lipophilicity was determined experimentally as well as theoretically using various computer programs. The tested compounds showed low values of experimental lipophilicity and its relationship with the type of 1,4-quinone moiety. Introduction of the nitrogen atom reduced the lipophilicity depending on the position at the 5,8-quinolinedione moiety. The bioavailability of the tested compounds was determined in silico using the ADMET parameters. The obtained parameters showed that most of the hybrids can be used orally and do not exhibit neurotoxic effects. Similarity analysis was used to examine the relationship between the ADMET parameters and experimental lipophilicity. The ability of hybrids to interact with biological targets was characterized by global reactivity descriptors. The molecular docking study showed that the hybrids can inhibit the BCL-2 protein.

Hybrids of 1,4-Quinone with Quinoline Derivatives: Synthesis, Biological Activity, and Molecular Docking with DT-Diaphorase (NQO1).

Project description:Hybrids 1,4-quinone with quinoline were obtained by connecting two active structures through an oxygen atom. This strategy allows to obtain new compounds with a high biological activity and suitable bioavailability. Newly synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic methods. The enzymatic assay used showed that these compounds were a suitable DT-diaphorase (NQO1) substrates as evidenced by increasing enzymatic conversion rates relative to that of streptonigrin. Hybrids were tested in vitro against a panel of human cell lines including melanoma, breast, and lung cancers. They showed also a high cytotoxic activity depending on the type of 1,4-quinone moiety and the applied tumor cell lines. It was found that cytotoxic activity of the studied hybrids was increasing against the cell lines with higher NQO1 protein level, such as breast (MCF-7 and T47D) and lung (A549) cancers. Selected hybrids were tested for the transcriptional activity of the gene encoding a proliferation marker (H3 histone), cell cycle regulators (p53 and p21) and the apoptosis pathway (BCL-2 and BAX). The molecular docking was used to examine the probable interaction between the hybrids and NQO1 protein.

Activity prediction, structure-based drug design, molecular docking, and pharmacokinetic studies of 1,4-dihydropyridines derivatives as α-amylase inhibitors.

Project description:ObjectivesDiabetes places a substantial economic burden on countries worldwide. The costs associated with diabetes management, including healthcare services, medications, monitoring equipment, and productivity losses, are substantial. The International Diabetes Federation has estimated that global healthcare expenditures associated with diabetes and its complications exceed hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Therefore, a critical need exists to develop drugs that are highly effective, affordable, and easily accessible to society.MethodsThis study explored the structural modification of 1,4-DHP derivatives to identify specific α-amylase inhibitors, with the aim of developing more effective and accessible drugs for diabetes. We evaluated the activity and binding ability of the designed compounds. In addition, we performed drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic studies on the modified compounds.ResultsEquation (1) had the highest accuracy, on the basis of internal and external assessment parameters, including R2int = 0.852, R2adj = 0.803, Q2cv = 0.731, and R2ext = 0.884. Moreover, the five potent analogs identified through structure-based drug design demonstrated a more favorable interaction than observed for the template or acarbose. Additionally, comprehensive studies on the drug-like properties and pharmacokinetics of the designed compounds supported their oral safety and favorable pharmacokinetic profiles.ConclusionsThe designed analogs show promise for developing new hypoglycemic agents. Their positive attributes and performance suggest that they may potentially serve as candidates for further research in improving treatments for high blood sugar-associated conditions.

Synthesis and crystal structures of two purpurin derivatives: 1,4-dihy-droxy-2-propoxyanthra-quinone and 2-but-oxy-1,4-di-hydroxy-anthra-quinone.

Project description:The title compounds were obtained by deprotonation of 1,2,4-tri-hydroxy-anthra-quinone (purpurin) using sodium hydride followed by reaction with either 1-bromo-propane or 1-bromo-butane. 1,4-Dihy-droxy-2-propoxyanthra-quinone crystallizes as a 1:1 solvate from aceto-nitrile, C17H14O5·CH3CN. The anthra-quinone core of the mol-ecule is essentially planar and both hy-droxy groups participate in intra-molecular O-H?O (carbon-yl) hydrogen bonds. The propyl chain is angled slightly above the plane of the anthra-quinone moiety with a maximum deviation of 0.247?(2)?Å above the plane for the terminal carbon atom. In contrast, 2-but-oxy-1,4-di-hydroxy-anthra-quinone, C18H16O5, crystallizes from nitro-methane with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The anthra-quinone core of each independent mol-ecule is essentially planar and both hy-droxy groups on both mol-ecules participate in intra-molecular O-H?O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bonds. The butyl chain in one mol-ecule is also angled slightly above the plane of the anthra-quinone moiety, with a maximum deviation of 0.833?(5)?Å above the plane for the terminal carbon atom. In contrast, the butyl group on the second mol-ecule is twisted out of the plane of the anthra-quinone core with a torsion angle of 65.1?(3)°, resulting in a maximum deviation of 1.631?(5)?Å above the plane for the terminal carbon atom.

Synthesis of chiral 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives from amino acids.

Project description:A versatile method for the synthesis of chiral 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives starting from easily accessible naturally occurring D-or L-amino acids as chiral synthons is described. The amino acids were converted into azido alcohols, followed by copper catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition reactions between the azido alcohols and methyl propiolate and subsequent ester aminolysis with primary and secondary amines furnished the target compounds, which were obtained in excellent yields with no racemization. Docking of selected target compounds shows that the chiral 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles derivatives has the potential of mimicking the binding mode of known purine analogues.

Molecular Structure, In Vitro Anticancer Study and Molecular Docking of New Phosphate Derivatives of Betulin.

Project description:A series of 30-diethylphosphate derivatives of betulin were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines, such as amelanotic melanoma (C-32), glioblastoma (SNB-19), and two lines of breast cancer (T47D, MDA-MB-231). The molecular structure and activities of the new compounds were also compared with their 29-phosphonate analogs. Compounds 7a and 7b showed the highest activity against C-32 and SNB-19 cell lines. The IC50 values for 7a were 2.15 and 0.91 μM, and, for 7b, they were 0.76 and 0.8 μM for the C-32 and SNB-19 lines, respectively. The most potent compounds, 7a and 7b, were tested for their effects on markers of apoptosis, such as H3, TP53, BAX, and BCL-2. For the whole series of phosphate derivatives, a lipophilicity study was performed, and the ADME parameters were calculated. The most active products were docked to the active site of the EGFR protein. The relative binding affinity of selected phosphate betulin derivatives toward EGFR was compared with standard erlotinib on the basis of ChemScore and KDEEP score. Positively, all derivatives docked inside the cavity and showed significant interactions. Moreover, a molecular dynamics study also reveals that ligands 7a,b form stable complexes and the plateau phase started after 7 ns.

Synthesis, antimycobacterial evaluation, and molecular docking study of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives.

Project description:Fifteen 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesised in this study and their MIC values against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) ranged from 2 to 32 μg/mL. Furthermore, their antimycobacterial activity was positively correlated with the KatG enzyme docking score. Among the 15 compounds, compound 4 showed the strongest bactericidal activity with an MIC of 2 μg/mL. The selectivity index of compound 4 is more than 10, indicating that the compound has low toxicity to animal cells and has the potential to become a drug. Molecular docking indicates that compound 4 can bind firmly to the Mtb KatG active site. The experimental results showed that compound 4 inhibited Mtb KatG and caused the accumulation of ROS in Mtb cells. We speculate that compound 4 causes the accumulation of ROS by inhibiting KatG, and ROS produces oxidative destruction, leading to the death of Mtb. This study provides a new idea for the development of novel anti-Mtb drugs.

Investigation of 1,4-Substituted 1,2,3-Triazole Derivatives as Antiarrhythmics: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties.

Project description:Here, we investigated the reaction of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1,3-diazido-2-nitro-2- azapropane (DANP) to propargyl alcohol over a copper-based catalyst and identified the optimum reaction conditions that enable the synthesis of 2-nitro-1,3-bis(4,4'-dihydroxymethyl)-1,2,3-triazolyl-2-azapropane (1) in more than 84% yield. The reaction between DANP, 1,5-diazido-3-nitrazapentane, and phenylacetylene produced the respective 1,2,3-triazole derivatives in 83% and 71% yields, respectively. The structures of the resultant compounds were validated by infrared and NMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis. The structure of 1 was proved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This study demonstrated that 1 exhibits a dose-dependent antiarrhythmic activity towards calcium-chloride-induced arrhythmia and refers to Class III: moderately hazardous substances.

Lipophilicity Studies on Thiosemicarbazide Derivatives.

Project description:The lipophilicity of two series of thiosemicarbazide derivatives was assessed by the RP-HPLC method with the RP-18 chromatographic column and the methanol-water mixture as the mobile phase. Distribution coefficients logPHPLC were compared to calculated values generated by commonly used AClogP software and quantum chemical calculations. The reliability of the predictions was evaluated using the correlation matrix and PCA. For 4-benzoylthiosemicarbazides, a high correlation between theoretical and experimental logP parameters was obtained using the XlogP3 algorithm, while for 4-aryl/(cyclohexyl)thiosemicarbazides, the XlogP2 parameter was strongly correlated with the experimentally obtained logP.

Discovery of novel 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole phenylalanine derivatives as HIV-1 capsid inhibitors.

Project description:The HIV-1 capsid (CA) protein plays crucial roles in both early and late stages of the viral life cycle, which has intrigued researchers to target it to develop anti-HIV drugs. Accordingly, in this research, we report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel phenylalanine derivatives as HIV-1 CA protein inhibitors using the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide and alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. Among this series of inhibitors, compound II-10c displayed a remarkable anti-HIV activity (EC50 = 2.13 μM, CC50 > 35.49 μM). Furthermore, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) binding assays showed that compounds II-10c and PF-74 (lead compound) have similar affinities to HIV-1 CA monomer. Further investigation showed that the weak permeability and water solubility of representative compounds were probably the important factors that restricted their cell-based activity. Preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs) were inferred based on the activities of these compounds, and their known structure. The most promising new compound was studied with molecular dynamics simulation (MD) to determine the preferred interactions with the drug target. Finally, the activities of members of this series of inhibitors were deeply inspected to find the potential reasons for their anti-HIV-1 activity from various perspectives. This highlights the important factors required to design compounds with improved potency.
