Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel urolithins derivatives as potential phosphodiesterase II inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: A series of urolithins derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their structures have been confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HR-MS. The inhibitory activity of these derivatives on phosphodiesterase II (PDE2) was thoroughly studied with 3-hydroxy-8-methyl-6H-benzo[C]chromen-6-one and 3-hydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6H-benzo[C] chromen-6-one as the lead compounds. The biological activity test showed that compound 2e had the best inhibitory activity on PDE2 with an IC₅₀ of 33.95 μM. This study provides a foundation for further structural modification and transformation of urolithins to obtain PDE2 inhibitor small molecules with better inhibitory activity.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel 6<i>H</i>-Benzo[<i>c</i>]chromen-6-one Derivatives as Potential Phosphodiesterase II Inhibitors.

Project description:Urolithins (hydroxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones) are the main bioavailable metabolites of ellagic acid (EA), which was shown to be a cognitive enhancer in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. As part of this research, a series of alkoxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Furthermore, their biological activities were evaluated as potential PDE2 inhibitors, and the alkoxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one derivative 1f was found to have the optimal inhibitory potential (IC50: 3.67 ± 0.47 μM). It also exhibited comparable activity in comparison to that of BAY 60-7550 in vitro cell level studies.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel pyridine derivatives as anticancer agents and phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitors.

Project description:Two series of 4,6-diaryl-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles and their isosteric 4,6-diaryl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles were synthesized through a combinatorial approach. The prepared analogues were evaluated for their in vitro capacity to inhibit PDE3A and the growth of the human HT-29 colon adenocarcinoma tumor cell line. Compound 6-(4-bromophenyl)-4-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (Id) exhibited the strongest PDE3 inhibition when cGMP but not cAMP is the substrate with a IC(50)of 27microM, which indicates a highly selective mechanism of enzyme inhibition. On the other hand, compound 6-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-4-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (Ii) was the most active in inhibiting colon tumor cell growth with a IC(50) of 3microM. The electronic effects, steric effects and conformational aspects of Id seem to be the most crucial for the PDE3 inhibition. Meanwhile, steric factors and the H-bonding capability seem to be the most important factors for tumor cell growth inhibitory activity. Conversely, there is no direct correlation between PDE3 inhibition and anticancer activity for the prepared compounds. An in silico docking experiment indicates the potential involvement of other potential molecular targets such as PIM-1 kinase to explain its tumor cell growth inhibitory activity.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of 2-Mercaptobenzoxazole Derivatives as Potential Multi-Kinase Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of 12 compounds was designed and synthesized, based on 2-mercaptobenzoxazole derivatives containing either the substituted benzenes 4a-d, substituted isatins 5a-f, or heterocycles 6a-b. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of the compounds was evaluated against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), mammary gland cancer (MCF-7), breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), and the epithelioid cervix carcinoma (HeLa) cancer cell lines. Compounds 4b, 4d, 5d, and 6b had the most potent antiproliferative activity, with IC50 values ranging from 2.14 to 19.34 µM, compared to the reference drugs, doxorubicin and sunitinib. Compound 6b revealed a remarkably broad antitumor activity pattern against HepG2 (IC50 6.83 µM), MCF-7 (IC50 3.64 µM), MDA-MB-231 (IC50 2.14 µM), and HeLa (IC50 5.18 µM). In addition, compound 6b showed potent inhibitory activities against EGFR, HER2, VEGFR2, and the CDK2 protein kinase enzymes, with IC50 values of 0.279, 0.224, 0.565, and 0.886 µM, respectively. Moreover, compound 6b induced caspase-dependent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Finally, a molecular docking simulation was performed for compound 6b to predict the potential ligand-protein interactions with the active sites of the EGFR, HER2, and VEGFR2 proteins.

Synthesis, structural analysis, and biological evaluation of thioxoquinazoline derivatives as phosphodiesterase 7 inhibitors.

Project description:PDE7 inhibitors regulate pro-inflammatory and immune T-cell functions, and are a potentially novel class of drugs especially useful in the treatment of a wide variety of immune and inflammatory disorders. Starting from our lead family of thioxoquinazolines, we designed, synthesized, and characterized a novel series of thioxoquinazoline derivatives. Many of these compounds showed inhibitory potencies at sub-micromolar levels against the catalytic domain of PDE7A1 and at the micromolar level against PDE4D2. Cell-based studies showed that these compounds not only increased intracellular cAMP levels, but also had interesting anti-inflammatory properties within a therapeutic window. The in silico data predict that these compounds are capable of the crossing the blood-brain barrier. The X-ray crystal structure of the PDE7A1 catalytic domain in complex with compound 15 at a resolution of 2.4 A demonstrated that hydrophobic interactions at the active site pocket are a key feature. This structure, together with molecular modeling, provides insight into the selectivity of the PDE inhibitors and a template for the discovery of new PDE7 or PDE7/PDE4 dual inhibitors.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Benzohydrazide Derivatives Containing Dihydropyrazoles as Potential EGFR Kinase Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of novel benzohydrazide derivatives containing dihydropyrazoles have been synthesized as potential epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitors and their biological activities as potential antiproliferative agents have been evaluated. Among these compounds, compound H20 exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity against four cancer cell line variants (A549, MCF-7, HeLa, HepG2) with IC50 values of 0.46, 0.29, 0.15 and 0.21 ?M respectively, which showed the most potent EGFR inhibition activities (IC50 = 0.08 ?M for EGFR). Molecular modeling simulation studies were performed in order to predict the biological activity and activity relationship (SAR) of these benzohydrazide derivatives. These results suggested that compound H20 may be a promising anticancer agent.

Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling of 2-Difluoromethylbenzimidazole Derivatives as Potential PI3Kα Inhibitors.

Project description:PI3Kα is one of the potential targets for novel anticancer drugs. In this study, a series of 2-difluoromethylbenzimidazole derivatives were studied based on the combination of molecular modeling techniques 3D-QSAR, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics. The results showed that the best comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) model had q2 = 0.797 and r2 = 0.996 and the best comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) model had q2 = 0.567 and r2 = 0.960. It was indicated that these 3D-QSAR models have good verification and excellent prediction capabilities. The binding mode of the compound 29 and 4YKN was explored using molecular docking and a molecular dynamics simulation. Ultimately, five new PI3Kα inhibitors were designed and screened by these models. Then, two of them (86, 87) were selected to be synthesized and biologically evaluated, with a satisfying result (22.8 nM for 86 and 33.6 nM for 87).

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Phenyl Urea Derivatives as IDO1 Inhibitors.

Project description:Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a heme-containing intracellular enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-determining step of tryptophan metabolism and is an important immunotherapeutic target for the treatment of cancer. In this study, we designed and synthesized a new series of compounds as potential IDO1 inhibitors. These compounds were then evaluated for inhibitory activity against IDO1 and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO). Among them, the three phenyl urea derivatives i12, i23, i24 as showed potent IDO1 inhibition, with IC50 values of 0.1-0.6 μM and no compound exhibited TDO inhibitory activity. Using molecular docking, we predicted the binding mode of compound i12 within IDO1. Compound i12 was further investigated by determining its in vivo pharmacokinetic profile and anti-tumor efficacy. The pharmacokinetic study revealed that compound i12 had satisfactory properties in mice, with moderate plasma clearance (22.45 mL/min/kg), acceptable half-life (11.2 h) and high oral bioavailability (87.4%). Compound i12 orally administered at 15 mg/kg daily showed tumor growth inhibition (TGI) of 40.5% in a B16F10 subcutaneous xenograft model and 30 mg/kg daily showed TGI of 34.3% in a PAN02 subcutaneous xenograft model. In addition, the body weight of i12-treated mice showed no obvious reduction compared with the control group. Overall, compound i12 is a potent lead compound for developing IDO1 inhibitors and anti-tumor agents.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel N-Pyridyl-Hydrazone Derivatives as Potential Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) Inhibitors.

Project description:A new series of N-pyridyl-hydrazone derivatives was synthesized by using a simple and efficient method. The final compounds obtained were screened for their inhibitory potency against monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. The newly synthesized compounds 2a-2n specifically inhibited monoamine oxidases, displaying notably low IC50 values. Compounds 2i and 2j, with a CF? and OH group on the 4-position of the phenyl ring, respectively, showed considerable MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitory activities. Compounds 2k, 2l and 2n, with N-methylpyrrole, furan and pyridine moieties instead of the phenyl ring, were the most powerful and specific inhibitors of MAO-A, with IC50 values of 6.12 ?M, 10.64 ?M and 9.52 ?M, respectively. Moreover, these active compounds were found to be non-cytotoxic to NIH/3T3 cells. This study supports future studies aimed at designing MAO inhibitors to obtain more viable medications for neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel ciprofloxacin derivatives as potential anticancer agents targeting topoisomerase II enzyme.

Project description:A series of novel ciprofloxacin (CP) derivatives substituted at the N-4 position with biologically active moieties were designed and synthesised. 14 compounds were 1.02- to 8.66-fold more potent than doxorubicin against T-24 cancer cells. Ten compounds were 1.2- to 7.1-fold more potent than doxorubicin against PC-3 cancer cells. The most potent compounds 6, 7a, 7b, 8a, 9a, and 10c showed significant Topo II inhibitory activity (83-90% at 100 μM concentration). Compounds 6, 8a, and 10c were 1.01- to 2.32-fold more potent than doxorubicin. Compounds 6 and 8a induced apoptosis in T-24 (16.8- and 20.1-fold, respectively compared to control). This evidence was supported by an increase in the level of apoptotic caspase-3 (5.23- and 7.6-fold, sequentially). Both compounds arrested the cell cycle in the S phase in T-24 cancer cells while in PC-3 cancer cells the two compounds arrested the cell cycle in the G1 phase. Molecular docking simulations of compounds 6 and 8a into the Topo II active site rationalised their remarkable Topo II inhibitory activity.
