The Bioactivity of Thiazolidin-4-Ones: A Short Review of the Most Recent Studies.

ABSTRACT: Thiazolidin-4-ones is an important heterocyclic ring system of a pharmacophore and a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry. This review is focused on the latest scientific reports regarding biological activities of thiazolidin-4-ones published in 2020 and 2021. The review covers recent information about antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic, antiparasitic, antimicrobial, antitubercular and antiviral properties of thiazolidin-4-ones. Additionally, the influence of different substituents in molecules on their biological activity was discussed in this paper. Thus, this study may help to optimize the structure of thiazolidin-4-one derivatives as more efficient drug agents. Presented information may be used as a practical hint for rational design of new small molecules with biological activity, especially among thiazolidin-4-ones.

Synthesis and anti-HIV studies of 2- and 3-adamantyl-substituted thiazolidin-4-ones.

Project description:A series of novel thiazolidin-4-ones bearing a lipophilic adamantyl substituent at position 2 or 3 were synthesized. A majority of them showed a modest anti-HIV-1 activity, whereas 2-adamantan-1-yl-3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-thiazolidin-4-one (8) was endowed with a remarkable antiviral potency (EC(50)=0.67 microM). The new series of compounds (22-29) with an adamantyl moiety at the 3-position of the thiazolidinone ring showed good to modest anti-HIV-1 activity (EC(50)=1.0-11 microM) but also pronounced cytostatic activity. For example 24, 26 and 29 showed an EC(50) of 1.0-2.0 microM, while the 50% effective concentrations for 23 and 28 were 7.8 and 11.0 microM, respectively. X-ray studies and quantum chemical calculations revealed that the anti-HIV activity of the compounds strongly depends on their dipole moments and conformation of the thiazolidinones.

Synthesis of thiazolidin-4-ones and thiazinan-4-ones from 1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Project description:The present study describes the synthesis of a novel series of thiazolidin-4-one and thiazinan-4-one using 1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine as amine precursor. All compounds were synthesised by one-pot three component cyclocondensation reaction from the amine, a substituted benzaldehyde and a mercaptocarboxylic acid. The compounds were obtained in moderate to good yields and were identified and characterised by 1H, 13 C, 2 D NMR and GC/MS techniques. The compounds also were screened for their in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in hippocampus and cerebral cortex on Wistar rats. The six most potent compounds have been investigated for their cytotoxicity by cell viability assay of astrocyte primary culture, an important cell of central nervous system. We highlighted two compounds (6a and 6k) that had the lowest IC50 in hippocampus (5.20 and 4.46 µM) and cerebral cortex (7.40 and 6.83 µM). These preliminary and important results could be considered a starting point for the development of new AChE inhibitory agents.

Design, Synthesis, Pharmacological Activities, Structure-Activity Relationship, and In Silico Studies of Novel 5-Substituted-2-(morpholinoimino)-thiazolidin-4-ones.

Project description:This study is aimed to synthesize morpholine- and thiazolidine-based novel 5-(substituted)benzylidene)-2-(morpholinoimino)-3-phenylthiazolidin-4-ones (3-26) and characterized by molecular spectroscopy. The synthesized compounds were subjected to antioxidant activity with anticholinesterase, tyrosinase, and urease inhibition activities and evaluated the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of enzyme inhibition activities. Compound 11 was found to be the most active antioxidant. In anticholinesterase inhibition, compound 12 (IC50: 17.41 ± 0.22 μM) was the most active against AChE, while compounds 3-26 ( except 3, 8, and 17) showed notable activity against BChE. Compounds 17 (IC50: 3.22 ± 0.70 mM), 15 (IC50: 5.19 ± 0.03 mM), 24 (IC50: 7.21 ± 0.27 mM), 23 (IC50: 8.05 ± 0.11 mM), 14 (IC50: 8.10 ± 0.22 mM), 25 (IC50: 8.40 ± 0.64 mM), 26 (IC50: 8.76 ± 0.90 mM), and 22 (IC50: 9.13 ± 0.55 mM) produced higher tyrosinase inhibition activity. In urease inhibition activity, compounds 20 (IC50: 16.79 ± 0.19 μM), 19 (IC50: 18.25 ± 0.50 μM), 18 (IC50: 20.24 ± 0.77 μM), 26 (IC50: 21.51 ± 0.44 μM), 25 (IC50: 21.70 ± 0.06 μM), and 24 (IC50: 22.49 ± 0.11 μM) demonstrated excellent activities. Besides, the molecular docking study was applied to better understand the inhibitory mechanism between (1-26) compounds and enzymes at the molecular level. According to the results of this study, the synthesized compounds exhibited a better binding affinity toward these enzymes compared to the positive control. Further, molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM/PBSA) binding free energy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation analyses were performed for AChE with compound 26, which showed high inhibitory activity in silico and in vitro studies. In conclusion, novel morpholine and thiazolidine-based derivative compounds may be pharmacologically effective agents for AChE, BChE, tyrosinase, and urease enzymes.

Thiazolidin-4-Ones as Potential Antimicrobial Agents: Experimental and In Silico Evaluation.

Project description:Herein, we report computational and experimental evaluations of the antimicrobial activity of twenty one 2,3-diaryl-thiazolidin-4-ones. All synthesized compounds exhibited an antibacterial activity against six Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to different extents. Thus, the MIC was in the range of 0.008-0.24 mg/mL, while the MBC was 0.0016-0.48 mg/mL. The most sensitive bacterium was S. Typhimurium, whereas S. aureus was the most resistant. The best antibacterial activity was observed for compound 5 (MIC at 0.008-0.06 mg/mL). The three most active compounds 5, 8, and 15, as well as compound 6, which were evaluated against three resistant strains, MRSA, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli, were more potent against all bacterial strains used than ampicillin. The antifungal activity of some compounds exceeded or were equipotent with those of the reference antifungal agents bifonazole and ketoconazole. The best activity was expressed by compound 5. All compounds exhibited moderate to good drug-likeness scores ranging from -0.39 to 0.39. The docking studies indicated a probable involvement of E. coli Mur B inhibition in the antibacterial action, while CYP51 inhibition is likely responsible for the antifungal activity of the tested compounds. Finally, the assessment of cellular cytotoxicity of the compounds in normal human MRC-5 cells revealed that the compounds were not toxic.

5-Benzyliden-2-(5-methylthiazol-2-ylimino)thiazolidin-4-ones as Antimicrobial Agents. Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking Studies.

Project description:In this study, we report the design, synthesis, computational and experimental evaluation of the antimicrobial activity, as well as docking studies of new 5-methylthiazole based thiazolidinones. All compounds demonstrated antibacterial efficacy, some of which (1, 4, 10 and 13) exhibited good activity against E. coli and B. cereus. The evaluation of antibacterial activity against three resistant strains, MRSA, P. aeruginosa and E. coli, revealed that compound 12 showed the best activity, higher than reference drugs ampicillin and streptomycin, which were inactive or exhibited only bacteriostatic activity against MRSA, respectively. Ten out of fifteen compounds demonstrated higher potency than reference drugs against a resistant strain of E. coli, which appeared to be the most sensitive species to our compounds. Compounds 8, 13 and 14 applied in a concentration equal to MIC reduced P. aeruginosa biofilm formation by more than 50%. All compounds displayed antifungal activity, with compound 10 being the most active. The majority of compounds showed better activity than ketoconazole against almost all fungal strains. In order to elucidate the mechanism of antibacterial and antifungal activities, molecular docking studies on E. coli Mur B and C. albicans CYP51 and dihydrofolate reductase were performed. Docking analysis of E. coli MurB indicated a probable involvement of MurB inhibition in the antibacterial mechanism of tested compounds while docking to 14α-lanosterol demethylase (CYP51) and tetrahydrofolate reductase of Candida albicans suggested that probable involvement of inhibition of CYP51 reductase in the antifungal activity of the compounds. Potential toxicity toward human cells is also reported.

Functionalized 1,3-Thiazolidin-4-Ones from 2-Oxo-Acenaphthoquinylidene- and [2.2]Paracyclophanylidene-Thiosemicarbazones.

Project description:The reactions of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates with various 2-oxo-acenaphthoquinylidene- and 4-acetyl[2.2]paracyclophanylidene-thiosemicarbazones were investigated. Using simple experimental procedures, 1,3-Thiazolidin-4-ones derived from acenaphthequinone or [2.2]paracyclophane were obtained as major products in good yields. In the case of allyl derivative of acenaphthoquinylidene-thiosemicarbazones, a complex structure of tetramethyl 5-(2-(((Z,E)-N-allyl-N'-(2-oxoacenaphthylen-1(2H)-ylidene)carbamohydrazonoyl)thio)-1,2,3-tris-(methoxycarbonyl)-cyclopropyl)-4-methoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-1,2,3,6-tetracarboxylate was formed. Single crystal X-ray analysis was used as an efficient tool to confirm the structure of the synthesized compounds as well as different spectroscopic data (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis). The mechanism of the obtained products was discussed.

Novel Thiazolidin-4-ones as Potential Non-nucleoside Inhibitors of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase.

Project description:BACKGROUND:HIV is the causative agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), an infectious disease with increasing incidence worldwide. Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) play an important role in the treatment of AIDS. Although, many compounds are already being used as anti-HIV drugs, research for the development of new inhibitors continues as the virus develops resistant strains. METHODS:The best features of available NNRTIs were taken into account for the design of novel inhibitors. PASS (Prediction of activity spectra for substances) prediction program and molecular docking studies for the selection of designed compounds were used for the synthesis. Compounds were synthesized using conventional and microwave irradiation methods and HIV RT inhibitory action was evaluated by colorimetric photometric immunoassay. RESULTS:The evaluation of HIV-1 RT inhibitory activity revealed that seven compounds have significantly lower ?C50 values than nevirapine (0.3 ??). It was observed that the activity of compounds depends not only on the nature of substituent and it position in benzothiazole ring but also on the nature and position of substituents in benzene ring. CONCLUSION:Twenty four of the tested compounds exhibited inhibitory action lower than 4 ??. Seven of them showed better activity than nevirapine, while three of the compounds exhibited IC50 values lower than 5 nM. Two compounds 9 and 10 exhibited very good inhibitory activity with IC50 1 nM.

Concise review of recent studies in vitiligo.

Project description:Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentry disorder of the skin and mucous membranes which manifests as white macules and patches due to selective loss of melanocytes. Etiological hypotheses of vitiligo include genetic, immunological, neurohormonal, cytotoxic, biochemical, oxidative stress and newer theories of melanocytorrhagy and decreased melanocytes survival. There are several types of vitiligo which are usually diagnosed clinically and by using a Wood's lamp; also vitiligo may be associated with autoimmune diseases, audiological and ophthalmological findings or it can be a part of polyendocrinopathy syndromes. Several interventions are available for the treatment for vitiligo to stop disease progression and/or to attain repigmentation or even depigmentation. In this article, we will present an overall view of current standing of vitiligo research work especially in the etiological factors most notably the genetic components, also, types and associations and various and newer treatment modalities.
