Design, synthesis, molecular modeling and DNA-binding studies of new barbituric acid derivatives

ABSTRACT: Cancer disease is developing all over the world mainly in developing countries. We should learn more about DNA–ligand interactions to design new drugs that target biological activities like transcription, replication and translation of particular genes. To understand the mechanism of action and design-specific DNA binders, the evaluation of DNA–ligand interactions is critical. Novel barbituric acid derivatives based on (benzyloxy)benzaldehydes were synthesized and evaluated as DNA-binding agents. Among products, molecular docking studies revealed that 4j and 4m have the best interactions with the ctDNA via the minor groove binding. These results were approved by the quantum mechanics calculations. The interaction profiles of the selected compound (4j and 4m) with DNA were evaluated by UV–Visible titration. UV–Visible titration data confirm this interaction. According to the molecular modeling results, the Structure–Activity relationships for all synthesized barbituric acid derivatives were proposed. It was observed that N,N-dimethyl barbituric acid/4-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives have better DNA interactions than barbituric acid/vanillin and barbituric acid/3-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives.

Synthesis and dynamics studies of barbituric acid derivatives as urease inhibitors.

Project description:BackgroundDiscovery of potent inhibitors of urease (jack bean) enzyme is the first step in the development of drugs against diseases caused by ureolytic enzyme.ResultsThirty-two derivatives of barbituric acid as zwitterionic adducts of diethyl ammonium salts were synthesized. All synthesized compounds (4a-z and 5a-s) were screened for their in vitro inhibition potential against urease enzyme (jack bean urease). The compounds 4i (IC50 = 17.6 ± 0.23 µM) and 5l (IC50 = 17.2 ± 0.44 µM) were found to be the most active members of the series, and showed several fold more urease inhibition activity than the standard compound thiourea (IC50 = 21.2 ± 1.3 µM). Whereas, compounds 4a-b, 4d-e, 4g-h, 4j-4r, 4x, 4z, 5b, 5e, 5k, 5n-5q having IC50 values in the range of 22.7 ± 0.20 µM-43.8 ± 0.33 µM, were also found as potent urease inhibitors. Furthermore, Molecular Dynamics simulation and molecular docking studies were carried out to analyze the binding mode of barbituric acid derivatives using MOE. During MD simulation enol form is found to be more stable over its keto form due to their coordination with catalytic Nickel ion of Urease. Additionally, structural-activity relationship using automated docking method was applied where the compounds with high biological activity are deeply buried within the binding pocket of urease. As multiple hydrophilic crucial interactions with Ala169, KCX219, Asp362 and Ala366 stabilize the compound within the binding site, thus contributing greater activity.ConclusionsThis research study is useful for the discovery of economically, efficient viable new drug against infectious diseases.Graphical abstract:STD.

Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modeling, In Silico ADME Studies and Anti-HIV-1 Assay of New Diazocoumarin Derivatives.

Project description:Some new diazo incorporated coumarin compounds were designed and synthesized to evaluate their anti-HIV activity. Overall, compounds were active against HIV at 100 ?M. Additionally, no cytotoxic effect was observed at this concentration. The compound with 4-chlorobenzyl group indicated the best anti-HIV activity (52%). Docking studies using the later crystallographic data available for PFV integrase showed similar binding modes to HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. On the basis of these data, nitrogen atoms of 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring have been involved in the Mg2+ chelation and 4-chlorobenzyl group occupies the same position as 4-flourobenzyl group of raltegravir in the active site. In addition, in silico ADME assay demonstrated favorable physicochemical properties for the new designed compounds. Thus, synthesized structures could be introduced as a novel template for designing safe anti-HIV compounds with integrase inhibitory potential.

Synthesis and Biocompatibility Studies of New Iminodiacetic Acid Derivatives.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Iminodiacetic acid (IDA) derivatives can be used as ligands to form complexes with technetium, with potential application as hepatobiliary diagnostic agents. The aim of this study was to synthesize five novel IDA derivatives and to compare their effects on plasma haemostasis with clinically approved ligands for technetium complexation. METHODS:The influence of synthesized IDA derivatives on plasma haemostasis was evaluated spectrophotometrically by clot formation and lysis test (CL-test), coagulation assay, Prothrombin Time and Activated Partial Tromboplastin Time. The effects of the tested compounds on erythrocytes were assessed using haemolysis assays, microscopy and flow cytometry studies. RESULTS:Despite their significant influence on the kinetic parameters of the process of clot formation and fibrinolysis, the tested ligands, at potential diagnostic concentrations, did not alter the overall potential of clot formation and lysis (CLAUC). At potential diagnostic concentrations (0.4 μmol/mL) all the tested compounds showed no adverse effects on the membranes of RBCs (Red Blood Cells). CONCLUSION:IDA derivatives with methoxy substituents in aromatic ring, exert multidirectional effects on plasma haemostasis and should be considered safe as their significant impacts were mostly observed at 4 μmol/mL, which is about 10-fold higher than the theoretical plasma concentrations of these compounds.

Synthesis, characterization and DNA interaction studies of new triptycene derivatives.

Project description:A facile and efficient synthesis of a new series of triptycene-based tripods is being reported. Using 2,6,14- or 2,7,14-triaminotriptycenes as synthons, the corresponding triazidotriptycenes were prepared in high yield. Additionally, we report the transformation of 2,6,14- or 2,7,14-triaminotriptycenes to the corresponding ethynyl-substituted triptycenes via their tribromo derivatives. Subsequently, derivatization of ethynyl-substituted triptycenes was studied to yield the respective propiolic acid and ethynylphosphine derivatives. Characterization of the newly functionalized triptycene derivatives and their regioisomers were carried out using FTIR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses techniques. The study of the interaction of these trisubstituted triptycenes with various forms of DNA revealed interesting dependency on the functional groups of the triptycene core to initiate damage or conformational changes in DNA.

Design, synthesis, X-ray crystal structures, anticancer, DNA binding, and molecular modelling studies of pyrazole-pyrazoline hybrid derivatives.

Project description:We have designed and synthesized three pyrazole analogs (4, 5a, 5b), pyrazole-based chalcones (6a-6d) and (8a-8h), and N-formyl/acetyl 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoline analogs (7a-7d), (9a-9d). FT-IR, 1H, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry techniques were used to describe the structures of all the synthesized analogs. The single crystal X-ray method was used to identify the molecular structure of derivatives 4 and 5a. All synthesized analogs were screened by MTT assay on two cancer cell lines, the human lung cancer cell line (A549) and cervical cancer cell line (HeLa). Among all compounds, analog 9d demonstrates significant anticancer activity against HeLa (IC50 = 23.6 μM) and A549 (IC50 = 37.59 μM). The non-interactive interaction of active compound (9d) with Calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) has been investigated through various methods, such as UV-vis absorption, emission, cyclic voltammetry and circular dichroism. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical has been used to measure the antioxidant capacity of the pyrazoline derivative (9d). The outcomes showed that active analog has significant antioxidant activity. In addition, MD simulation of the EGFR tyrosine kinase protein-ligand complex was performed at a time scale of 100 ns. The MMGBSA data of ligand-protein complex are showed stable interactions up to 100 ns.

Synthesis and structure of push-pull merocyanines based on barbituric and thio-barbituric acid.

Project description:Two compounds, 1,3-diethyl-5-{(2E,4E)-6-[(E)-1,3,3-tri-methyl-indolin-2-yl-idene]hexa-2,4-dien-1-yl-idene}pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione or TMI, C25H29N3O3, and 1,3-diethyl-2-sulfanyl-idene-5-[2-(1,3,3-tri-methyl-indolin-2-yl-idene)ethyl-idene]di-hydro-pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione or DTB, C21H25N3O2S, have been crystallized and studied. These compounds contain the same indole derivative donor group and differ in their acceptor groups (in TMI it contains oxygen in the para position, and in DTB sulfur) and the length of the ?-bridge. In both materials, mol-ecules are packed in a herringbone manner with differences in the twist and fold angles. In both structures, the mol-ecules are connected by weak C-H?O and/or C-H?S bonds.

Design, Synthesis, Anti-Inflammatory Activity, DFT Modeling and Docking Study of New Ibuprofen Derivatives.

Project description:A new ibuprofen derivative, (E)-2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-N'-(4-oxopentan-2-ylidene) propane hydrazide (IA), was synthesized, along with its metal complexes with Co, Cu, Ni, Gd, and Sm, to investigate their anti-inflammatory efficacy and COX-2 inhibition potential. Comprehensive characterization, including 1H NMR, MS, FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and DFT analysis, were employed to determine the structural configurations, revealing unique motifs for Gd/Sm (capped square antiprismatic/tricapped trigonal prismatic) and Cu/Ni/Co (octahedral) complexes. Molecular docking with the COX-2 enzyme (PDB code: 5IKT) and pharmacokinetic assessments through SwissADME indicated that these compounds have superior binding energies and pharmacokinetic profiles, including BBB permeability and gastrointestinal absorption, compared to the traditional ibuprofen standalone. Their significantly lower IC50 values further suggest a higher efficacy as anti-inflammatory agents and COX-2 inhibitors. These research findings not only introduce promising ibuprofen derivatives for therapeutic applications but also set the stage for future validation and exploration of this new generation of ibuprofen compounds.

Design, synthesis, cytotoxic activity and molecular docking studies of new 20(S)-sulfonylamidine camptothecin derivatives.

Project description:In an ongoing investigation of 20-sulfonylamidine derivatives (9, YQL-9a) of camptothecin (1) as potential anticancer agents directly and selectively inhibiting topoisomerase (Topo) I, the sulfonylamidine pharmacophore was held constant, and a camptothecin derivatives with various substitution patterns were synthesized. The new compounds were evaluated for antiproliferative activity against three human tumor cell lines, A-549, KB, and multidrug resistant (MDR) KB subline (KBvin). Several analogs showed comparable or superior antiproliferative activity compared to the clinically prescribed 1 and irinotecan (3). Significantly, the 20-sulfonylamidine derivatives exhibited comparable cytotoxicity against KBvin, while 1 and 3 were less active against this cell line. Among them, compound 15c displayed much better cytotoxic activity than the controls 1, 3, and 9. Novel key structural features related to the antiproliferative activities were identified by structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis. In a molecular docking model, compounds 9 and 15c interacted with Topo I-DNA through a different binding mode from 1 and 3. The sulfonylamidine side chains of 9 and 15c could likely form direct hydrogen bonds with Topo I, while hydrophobic interaction with Topo I and ?-? stacking with double strand DNA were also confirmed as binding driving forces. The results from docking models were consistent with the SAR conclusions. The introduction of bulky substituents at the 20-position contributed to the altered binding mode of the compound by allowing them to form new interactions with Topo I residues. The information obtained in this study will be helpful for the design of new derivatives of 1 with most promising anticancer activity.
