Synthesis of a Coumarin-Based Analogue of Schweinfurthin F.

ABSTRACT: The natural schweinfurthins are stilbenes with significant antiproliferative activity and an uncertain mechanism of action. To obtain a fluorescent analogue with minimal deviation from the natural structure, a coumarin ring system was annulated to the D-ring, creating a new analogue of schweinfurthin F. This stilbene was prepared through a convergent synthesis, with a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons condensation employed to form the central stilbene olefin. After preparation of a tricyclic phosphonate via a recent and more efficient modification of the classic Arbuzov reaction, condensation was attempted with an appropriately substituted bicyclic aldehyde but the coumarin system did not survive the reaction conditions. When olefin formation preceded generation of the coumarin, the stilbene formation proceeded smoothly and ultimately allowed access to the targeted coumarin-based schweinfurthin analogue. This analogue displayed the desired fluorescence properties along with significant biological activity in the National Cancer Institute's 60-cell line bioassay, and the pattern of this biological activity mirrored that of the natural product schweinfurthin F. This approach gives facile access to new fluorescent analogues of the natural schweinfurthins and should be applicable to other natural stilbenes as well.

Synthesis and structure activity relationships of schweinfurthin indoles.

Project description:As part of a program to explore the biological activity of analogues of the natural schweinfurthins, a set of compounds has been prepared where an indole system can be viewed as a substitution for the resorcinol substructure of the schweinfurthin's D-ring. Twelve of these schweinfurthin indoles have been prepared and evaluated in the 60 cell line screen of the National Cancer Institute. While a range of activity has been observed, it is now clear that schweinfurthin indoles can demonstrate the intriguing pattern of activity associated with the natural stilbenes. In the best cases, these indole analogues display both potency and differential activity across the various cell lines comparable to the best resorcinol analogues.

Design, Synthesis, and Antifungal Activity of 4-Amino Coumarin Based Derivatives.

Project description:A series of 30 succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) of 4-amino coumarin-based derivatives were designed and synthesized. According to the analysis of fungicidal activity in vitro, most of the compounds expressed broad-spectrum antifungal activity against four plant pathogenic fungi (Alternaria alternata, Alternaria solani, Fusarium oxysporum, and Botrytis cinerea) using the mycelium growth inhibition method. The results showed that compounds 3n with the group of 2-ene-3-methyl-butyl and 4e with the group of 2-bromo-1-oxo-hexyl displayed excellent activity against Alternaria alternata and Alternaria solani, with EC50 values of 92~145 μg/mL. Molecular docking showed that the inhibitor 3n was completely locked into the cavity of SDH, forming a conventional hydrogen bond interacting with the amino acid residue TYR58. The present work indicates that these derivatives would serve as novel potential fungicides targeting SDH.

Coumarin-carbazole based functionalized pyrazolines: synthesis, characterization, anticancer investigation and molecular docking.

Project description:A series of novel pyrazoline scaffolds from coumarin-carbazole chalcones were synthesized. We explored various acetyl, amide, and phenyl substituents at the N-1 position of the pyrazoline core. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, DEPT, and mass spectroscopic techniques. The in vitro cytotoxicity study of all the synthesized compounds was evaluated against HeLa, NCI-H520 and NRK-52E cell lines. Compounds 4a and 7b became the most active compounds and exhibited their potential to arrest the cell cycle progression and induce apoptosis in both the cell lines. In addition, molecular docking studies revealed a higher binding affinity of both the molecules with CDK2 protein. Based on the obtained results, a comprehensive analysis is warranted to establish the role of compounds 4a and 7b as promising cancer therapeutic agents.

Synthesis of a Coumarin-Based PPARγ Fluorescence Probe for Competitive Binding Assay.

Project description:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a molecular target of metabolic syndrome and inflammatory disease. PPARγ is an important nuclear receptor and numerous PPARγ ligands were developed to date; thus, efficient assay methods are important. Here, we investigated the incorporation of 7-diethylamino coumarin into the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone and used the compound in a binding assay for PPARγ. PPARγ-ligand-incorporated 7-methoxycoumarin, 1, showed weak fluorescence intensity in a previous report. We synthesized PPARγ-ligand-incorporating coumarin, 2, in this report, and it enhanced the fluorescence intensity. The PPARγ ligand 2 maintained the rosiglitazone activity. The obtained partial agonist 6 appeared to act through a novel mechanism. The fluorescence intensity of 2 and 6 increased by binding to the ligand binding domain (LBD) of PPARγ and the affinity of reported PPARγ ligands were evaluated using the probe.

Exploration of cascade cyclizations terminated by tandem aromatic substitution: total synthesis of (+)-schweinfurthin A.

Project description:The termination of epoxide-initiated cascade cyclizations with a range of "protected" phenols is described. When the protecting group can be lost as a stabilized electrophile, the cascade process continues beyond ring closure to afford products which have undergone a tandem electrophilic aromatic substitution. A number of groups have proven viable in this process and the regiochemistry of their substitution reactions has been studied. Application of this methodology in the first total synthesis of (+)-schweinfurthin A, a potent antiproliferative agent, has been achieved.

Synthesis of Coumarin-Based Photosensitizers for Enhanced Antibacterial Type I/II Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective method for treating microbial infections by leveraging the unique photophysical properties of photosensitizing agents, but issues such as fluorescence quenching and the restricted generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under hypoxic conditions still remain. In this study, we successfully synthesized and designed a coumarin-based aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen), called ICM, that shows a remarkable capacity for type I ROS and type II ROS generation. The 1O2 yield of ICM is 0.839. The ROS it produces include hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and superoxide anions (O2•-), with highly effective antibacterial properties specifically targeting Staphylococcus aureus (a Gram-positive bacterium). Furthermore, ICM enables broad-spectrum fluorescence imaging and exhibits excellent biocompatibility. Consequently, ICM, as a potent type I photosensitizer for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms, represents a promising tool in addressing the threat posed by these pathogens.

Developing multitarget coumarin based anti-breast cancer agents: synthesis and molecular modeling study.

Project description:A new series of 7-substituted coumarin scaffolds containing a methyl ester moiety at the C4-position were synthesized and tested for their in vitro anti-proliferative activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines using Doxorubicin (DOX) as reference. Compounds 2 and 8 showed noticeable selectivity against MCF-7 with IC50 = 6.0 and 5.8 µM, respectively compared to DOX with IC50 = 5.6 µM. Compounds 10, 12, and 14 exhibited considerable selectivity against Estrogen Negative cells with IC50 = 2.3, 3.5, and 1.9 µM, respectively) compared to DOX with (IC50 = 7.3 µM). The most promising compounds were tested as epidermal growth factor receptor and aromatase (ARO) enzymes inhibitors using erlotinib and exemestane (EXM) as standards, respectively. Results proved that compound 8 elicited the highest inhibitory activity (94.73% of the potency of EXM), while compounds 10 and 12 displayed 97.67% and 81.92% of the potency of Erlotinib, respectively. Further investigation showed that the promising candidates 8, 10, and 12 caused cell cycle arrest at G0-G1 and S phases and induced apoptosis. The mechanistic pathway was confirmed by elevating caspases-9 and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. A set of in silico methods was also performed including docking, bioavailability ADMET screening and QSAR study.

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of coumarin-based molecular probes for imaging of myelination.

Project description:Myelination represents one of the most fundamental biological processes in the vertebrate nervous system. Abnormalities and changes in myelination in the central nervous system (CNS) are seen in many neurodegenerative disorders, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). A long-standing goal has been to directly detect and quantify myelin content in order to facilitate diagnosis and therapeutic treatments of myelin-related diseases. In the course of our studies, we have developed a series of small-molecule probes (SMP) as myelin-imaging agents. Among them are coumarin derivatives, which exhibit promising brain permeability and myelin-binding properties. Herein we report a full account of the design and synthesis of coumarin-based SMPs as myelin-imaging agents. Systematic evaluation of these SMPs in both the CNS and peripheral nervous system (PNS) allowed us to identify some lead agents for potential use as fluorescent dyes for intraoperative nerve mapping in surgical operations or as radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of myelination.

A Coumarin-Based Analogue of Thiacetazone as Dual Covalent Inhibitor and Potential Fluorescent Label of HadA in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>.

Project description:A novel coumarin-based molecule, designed as a fluorescent surrogate of a thiacetazone-derived antitubercular agent, was quickly and easily synthesized from readily available starting materials. This small molecule, coined Coum-TAC, exhibited a combination of appropriate physicochemical and biological properties, including resistance toward hydrolysis and excellent antitubercular efficiency similar to that of well-known thiacetazone derivatives, as well as efficient covalent labeling of HadA, a relevant therapeutic target to combat Mycobacterium tuberculosis. More remarkably, Coum-TAC was successfully implemented as an imaging probe that is capable of labeling Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a selective manner, with an enrichment at the level of the poles, thus giving for the first time relevant insights about the polar localization of HadA in the mycobacteria.

Microwave-assisted synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of new coumarin-based 1,2,3-triazoles.

Project description:Coumarin-based 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives were synthesized using a highly efficient, eco-friendly protocol via a copper(i)-catalyzed click reaction between various substituted arylazides and terminal alkynes. The synthetic route was easy to access and gave excellent yields under microwave irradiation conditions compared to the conventional heating route. The structures of all the compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities; among all compounds, 8a, 8j, 8k and 8l exhibited better results with respect to standard drugs. Furthermore, molecular docking studies have been carried out with PDB IDs 2VCX (anti-inflammatory), 3VXI (antioxidant), 4GEE (antimicrobial) and 2XFH (antifungal) using the Glide module of the Schrödinger suite. The final compounds 8d, 8e, 8h, and 8k showed the highest hydrogen bond interactions with His-88 and Val-191 proteins and with water in all the proteins.
