A review on synthetic account of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles as anti-infective agents.

ABSTRACT: Most of the currently marketed drugs consist of heterocyclic scaffolds containing nitrogen and or oxygen as heteroatoms in their structures. Several research groups have synthesized diversely substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles as anti-infective agents having anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-leishmanial, etc. activities. For the first time, the present review article will provide the coverage of synthetic account of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles as anti-infective agents along with their potential for SAR, activity potential, promising target for mode of action. The efforts have been made to provide the chemical intuitions to the reader to design new chemical entity with potential of anti-infective activity. This review will mark the impact as the valuable, comprehensive and pioneered work along with the library of synthetic strategies for the organic and medicinal chemists for further refinement of 1,2,4-oxadiazole as anti-infective agents.

Stereoselective Synthesis, Synthetic and Pharmacological Application of Monoterpene-Based 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles.

Project description:Stereoselective synthesis of monoterpene-based 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives was accomplished starting from α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, obtained by the oxidation of (-)-2-carene-3-aldehyde and commercially available (-)-myrtenal. 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles were prepared in two steps via the corresponding O-acylamidoxime intermediates, which then underwent cyclisation induced by tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) under mild reaction conditions. Stereoselective dihydroxylation in highly stereospecific reactions with the OsO₄/NMO (N-methylmorpholine N-oxide) system produced α,β-dihydroxy 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Pinane-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were obtained similarly from acids by coupling with acyl hydrazines followed by POCl₃-mediated dehydrative ring closure. In the case of the arane counterpart, the rearrangement of the constrained carane system occurred with the loss of chirality under the same conditions. Stereoselective dihydroxylation with OsO₄/NMO produced α,β-dihydroxy 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The prepared diols were applied as chiral catalysts in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. All compounds were screened in vitro for their antiproliferative effects against four malignant human adherent cell lines by means of the MTT assay with the O-acylated amidoxime intermediates exerting remarkable antiproliferative action.

Pharmacokinetics of anti-infective agents during CytoSorb hemoadsorption.

Project description:Cytokine hemoadsorption might be beneficial in patients with sepsis. However, its effect on anti-infective agents' disposition remains largely unknown. We sought to determine the influence of hemoadsorption on the pharmacokinetics of common anti-infective agents. This is an interventional experimental study, conducted in 24 healthy pigs. Animals were randomly allocated to either hemoadsorption (cases) or sham extracorporeal circuit (controls) and to drug combinations (3 cases and 3 controls for each combination). Hemoadsorption was performed with CytoSorb (CytoSorbents Corporation, USA). We evaluated 17 drugs (clindamycin, fluconazole, linezolid, meropenem, piperacillin, anidulafungin, ganciclovir, clarithromycin, posaconazole, teicoplanin, tobramycin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, liposomal amphotericin B, flucloxacillin and cefepime). Repeated blood sampling from the extracorporeal circulation (adsorber inlet/outlet, sham circuit) was performed over six hours following administration. Total clearance and adsorber-specific clearance were computed. Hemoadsorption was associated with increased clearance of all study drugs, except ganciclovir. Its impact on total body clearance was considered as moderate for fluconazole (282%) and linezolid (115%), mild for liposomal amphotericin B (75%), posaconazole (32%) and teicoplanine (31%) and negligible for all other drugs. Hemoadsorber clearance declined over time, with even delayed desorption for beta-lactams. It was moderately correlated with drug's lipophilicity (p = 0.01; r2 = 0.43). Hemoadsorption with CytoSorb appears to increase to a clinically significant extent the clearance of five among 17 tested anti-infectives. Studies in human patients are required to confirm the need for dosage adjustment of these agents.

Thienopyrimidine: A Promising Scaffold to Access Anti-Infective Agents.

Project description:Thienopyrimidines are widely represented in the literature, mainly due to their structural relationship with purine base such as adenine and guanine. This current review presents three isomers-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines, thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines and thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidines-and their anti-infective properties. Broad-spectrum thienopyrimidines with biological properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral inspired us to analyze and compile their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and classify their synthetic pathways. This review explains the main access route to synthesize thienopyrimidines from thiophene derivatives or from pyrimidine analogs. In addition, SAR study and promising anti-infective activity of these scaffolds are summarized in figures and explanatory diagrams. Ligand-receptor interactions were modeled when the biological target was identified and the crystal structure was solved.

An anti-infective synthetic peptide with dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities.

Project description:Antibiotic-resistant infections are predicted to kill 10 million people per year by 2050, costing the global economy $100 trillion. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop alternative technologies. We have engineered a synthetic peptide called clavanin-MO, derived from a marine tunicate antimicrobial peptide, which exhibits potent antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties both in vitro and in vivo. The peptide effectively killed a panel of representative bacterial strains, including multidrug-resistant hospital isolates. Antimicrobial activity of the peptide was demonstrated in animal models, reducing bacterial counts by six orders of magnitude, and contributing to infection clearance. In addition, clavanin-MO was capable of modulating innate immunity by stimulating leukocyte recruitment to the site of infection, and production of immune mediators GM-CSF, IFN-γ and MCP-1, while suppressing an excessive and potentially harmful inflammatory response by increasing synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and repressing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-12 and TNF-α. Finally, treatment with the peptide protected mice against otherwise lethal infections caused by both Gram-negative and -positive drug-resistant strains. The peptide presented here directly kills bacteria and further helps resolve infections through its immune modulatory properties. Peptide anti-infective therapeutics with combined antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties represent a new approach to treat antibiotic-resistant infections.

Multistep Synthesis of 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles via DNA-Conjugated Aryl Nitrile Substrates.

Project description:A multistep protocol for the synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles on DNA-chemical conjugates has been developed. A set of six DNA-connected aryl nitriles were converted to corresponding amidoximes with hydroxylamine followed by the O-acylation with a series of aryl and aliphatic carboxylic acids. After cyclodehydration of the O-acyl amidoximes by heating at 90 °C in pH 9.5 borate buffer for 2 h, the desired oxadiazole products were observed in 51-92% conversion with the cleavage of O-acylamidoximes as the major side-product. The reported protocol paves the way for the synthesis of oxadiazole core-focused DNA-encoded chemical libraries.

Antimicrobial Peptides as Anti-Infective Agents in Pre-Post-Antibiotic Era?

Project description:Resistance to antibiotics is one of the main current threats to human health and every year multi-drug resistant bacteria are infecting millions of people worldwide, with many dying as a result. Ever since their discovery, some 40 years ago, the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) of innate defense have been hailed as a potential alternative to conventional antibiotics due to their relatively low potential to elicit resistance. Despite continued effort by both academia and start-ups, currently there are still no antibiotics based on AMPs in use. In this study, we discuss what we know and what we do not know about these agents, and what we need to know to successfully translate discovery to application. Understanding the complex mechanics of action of these peptides is the main prerequisite for identifying and/or designing or redesigning novel molecules with potent biological activity. However, other aspects also need to be well elucidated, i.e., the (bio)synthetic processes, physiological and pathological contexts of their activity, and a quantitative understanding of how physico-chemical properties affect activity. Research groups worldwide are using biological, biophysical, and algorithmic techniques to develop models aimed at designing molecules with the necessary blend of antimicrobial potency and low toxicity. Shedding light on some open questions may contribute toward improving this process.

Evaluation of Triazole and Isoxazole Derivatives as Potential Anti-infective Agents.

Project description:A series of isoxazole and triazole derivatives, with interesting bioactive scaffolds, were examined for their in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and antiprotozoal activities. These compounds exhibited antitrypanosomal activity comparable to difluoromethylornithine (DMFO), a drug used in the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis. Isoxazole analogues 1, 3 and 4, and triazole derivatives 16, 17, 28, 37, 40 and 42 showed the highest antitrypanosomal activity with IC50 values of 17.89, 1.82, 10.38, 10.26, 11.77, 9.29, 3.93, 2.11, and 0.93 μM, respectively. Compounds 40 and 42 showed the most potent activity against Leishmania donovani amastigotes with IC50 values of 18.28 and 10.54 μM, respectively. Compound 42 showed the most potent activity against Leishmania donovani macrophage internalized amastigotes with an IC50 value of 8.32 μM. Conjugate triazoles 40-43 displayed potential antimalarial activity against chloroquine-resistant W2 and chloroquine sensitive D6 Plasmodium falciparum strains (IC50 value range from 0.58 to 8.36 μM). Compound 37 showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA and Mycobacterium intracellulare with IC50 values of 15.53, 14.22 and 47.45 μM, respectively. None of the compounds exhibited antifungal activity.

Drug repurposing of anti-infective clinical drugs: Discovery of two potential anti-cytokine storm agents.

Project description:Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus -2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been widely spread in the world with a high mortality. Cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) and acute lung injury caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection severely threaten the patients. With the purpose to find effective and low-toxic drugs to mitigate CSS, entecavir and imipenem were identified to reduce TNF-α using a LPS-induced macrophage model from the anti-infective drug library. Entecavir and imipenem efficiently suppressed the release of inflammatory cytokines by partly intervention of NF-κB activity. The acute lung injury was also alleviated and the survival time was prolonged in mice. In addition, entecavir and imipenem inhibited the release of TNF-α and IL-10 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs). Collectively, we proposed that entecavir and imipenem might be candidates for the treatment of CSS.

Study on the interaction of triaryl-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with α-glucosidase.

Project description:PurposeOne of the therapeutic approaches in the management of Type 2 diabetes is delaying the absorption of glucose through α-glucosidase enzymes inhibition, which can reduce the incidence of postprandial hyperglycemia. The existence of chronic postprandial hyperglycemia impaired the endogenous antioxidant defense due to inducing oxidative stress induced pancreatic β-cell destruction through uncontrolled free radicals generation such as ROS, which in turn, leads to various macrovascular and microvascular complications. This study aimed to synthesize 2-aryl-4,6-diarylpyrimidine derivatives, screen their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, perform kinetic and molecular docking studies.MethodsA series of 3,4,5-triphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was screened in vitro. Compounds 6a-k were synthesized via a two-step reaction with a yield between 65 and 88%. The structural elucidation of the synthesized derivatives was performed by different spectroscopic techniques. α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity of the oxadiazole derivatives 6a-k was evaluated against Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase.ResultsMost of the synthesized compounds demonstrated α-glucosidase inhibitory action. Particularly compounds 6c, 6d and 6 k were the most active compounds with IC50 values 215 ± 3, 256 ± 3, and 295 ± 4 μM respectively. A kinetic study performed for compound 6c revealed that the compound is a competitive inhibitor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase with Ki of 122 μM. The docking study also revealed that the two compounds, 6c and 6 k, have important binding interactions with the enzyme active site.ConclusionThe overall results of our study reveal that the synthesized compounds could be a potential candidate in the search for novel α-glucosidase inhibitors to manage the postprandial hyperglycemia incidence.
