Novel one-pot synthesis of a library of 2-aryloxy-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives. Determination of antifungal and antibacterial activity.

ABSTRACT: The development of new antibiotics and inexpensive antifungals is an important field of research. Based on the privileged pharmacophore of lawsone, a series of phenolic ether derivatives of 1,4-naphthoquinone were synthesized easily in one step in reasonable yields. All the new compounds were characterized and tested as potential antifungal and antibacterial agents against Candida albicans, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Compound 55 has significant antibacterial action (as good as or better than the controls) against E. coli and S. aureus. Against C. albicans, compounds 38, 46, 47 and 60 were the best candidates as antifungals. Using a qualitative structure-activity analysis, a correlation between molar mass and antimicrobial activity was identified, regardless of the substituent group on the phenolic moiety, except for 55 and 63, where electronic effects seem more important. An in silico evaluation of the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) for 37, 50, 55 and 63 was made, indicating that the classic Lipinski's rule of five applies in all cases.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Evaluation of 1,4-Naphthoquinone Derivatives as Potential Antibacterial Agents.

Project description:1,4-Naphthoquinones are an important class of compounds present in a number of natural products. In this study, a new series of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro antimicrobial activity. In this present investigation, two Gram-positive and five Gram-negative bacterial strains and one pathogenic yeast strain were used to determine the antibacterial activity. Naphthoquinones tested for its antibacterial potencies, among seven of them displayed better antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus; 30-70 μg/mL). Some of the tested compounds showed moderate to low antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Salmonella bongori (S. bongori; 70-150 μg/mL). In addition, most active compounds against S. aureus were evaluated for toxicity to human blood cells using a hemolysis assay. For better understanding, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, time-kill kinetic study, and apoptosis, necrosis responses were investigated for three representative compounds.

Synthesis, molecular docking and antibacterial evaluation of new 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives contains carbazole-6,11-dione moiety.

Project description:A new series of new 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives containing carbazole-6,11-dione moiety, which has not been reported yet, has been synthesized from 1,4-naphthoquinone and 4-aminophenylsulfone involving a Michael addition, benzoylation, and Pd-catalyzed coupling. This set of compounds has been evaluated for in vitro antibacterial studies against different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and most of the synthesized compounds exhibited good antibacterial activity and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are compared with the standard drugs used. Compound 7 exhibited good antibacterial activity among all the molecules studied with the best MIC of 2.1 μg/mL against Bacillus subtilis. To understand the molecular interactions with targeted proteins, the molecular docking of all the synthesized compounds were carried out; between 14 molecules docked, compound 7 was the one with the best glide and E model score of -7.73 and -95.37, respectively. In all docked molecules, compound 5 exhibited least glide and E model score of -4.55 and -101.56, respectively. Figureᅟ

1,4-Naphthoquinone Analogues: Potent Antibacterial Agents and Mode of Action Evaluation.

Project description:1,4-Naphthoquinones have antibacterial activity and are a promising new class of compound that can be used to treat bacterial infections. The goal was to improve effective antibacterial agents; therefore, we synthesized a new class of naphthoquinone hybrids, which contain phenylamino-phenylthio moieties as significant counterparts. Compound 4 was modified as a substituted aryl amide moiety, which enhanced the antibacterial activity of earlier compounds 3 and 4. In this study, five bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) were used to evaluate the antibacterial potency of synthesized naphthoquinones using the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. Most of the studied naphthoquinones demonstrated major antibacterial activity with a MIC of 15.6 µg/mL-500 µg/mL. Selected compounds (5a, 5f and 5x) were studied for the mode of action, using intracellular ROS generation, determination of apoptosis by the Annexin V-FITC/PI assay, a bactericidal kinetic study and in silico molecular modelling. Additionally, the redox potentials of the specified compounds were confirmed by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Aromatase inhibitory activity of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives and QSAR study.

Project description:A series of 2-amino(chloro)-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives (1-11) were investigated for their aromatase inhibitory activities. 1,4-Naphthoquinones 1 and 4 were found to be the most potent compounds affording IC50 values 5.2 times lower than the reference drug, ketoconazole. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model provided good predictive performance (R2CV = 0.9783 and RMSECV = 0.0748) and indicated mass (Mor04m and H8m), electronegativity (Mor08e), van der Waals volume (G1v) and structural information content index (SIC2) descriptors as key descriptors governing the activity. To investigate the effects of structural modifications on aromatase inhibitory activity, the model was employed to predict the activities of an additional set of 39 structurally modified compounds constructed in silico. The prediction suggested that the 2,3-disubstitution of 1,4-naphthoquinone ring with halogen atoms (i.e., Br, I and F) is the most effective modification for potent activity (1a, 1b and 1c). Importantly, compound 1b was predicted to be more potent than its parent compound 1 (11.90-fold) and the reference drug, letrozole (1.03-fold). The study suggests the 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives as promising compounds to be further developed as a novel class of aromatase inhibitors.

Radical Photopolymerization Using 1,4-Dihydropyrrolo[3,2-<i>b</i>]pyrrole Derivatives Prepared via One-Pot Synthesis.

Project description:Radical photopolymerization has attracted significant attention for manufacturing products with complicated structures. Herein, the synthesized 1,4-bis(4-bromophenyl)-2,5-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyrrole[3,2-b]pyrrole (PyBN) is found to show varying photoactivity upon irradiation at different wavelengths. PyBN affords two main absorption bands, and its maximum absorption peak is at 462 nm, attributing to its strong intramolecular charge transfer property based on the donor-acceptor structure. It efficiently photoinitiates the radical photopolymerization of different (meth)acrylate materials under 365 and 395 nm LED irradiation. The highest double bond conversion of 99.86% is achieved for these materials. Under 470 nm LED, PyBN does not show molecular structure change from photolysis results as a result of intramolecular charge transfer. Therefore, PyBN shows wavelength-selective photoactivity with potential application in dual-wavelength volumetric additive manufacturing. A unique solid product is successfully fabricated using a 365 nm LED with co-irradiation of a 470 nm LED. Additionally, PyBN incorporating camphorquinone (CQ) as a two-component visible light photoinitiator system is investigated under 470 nm LED irradiation. As PyBN has a charge transfer activity at 470 nm, the combination with CQ exhibits a good synergistic interaction. Besides nitro-based PyBN, a methyl-based PyBC was prepared as a reference compound.

Novel 2-Amino-1,4-Naphthoquinone Derivatives Induce A549 Cell Death through Autophagy.

Project description:A series of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives containing were synthesized as anti-cancer agents and the crystal structure of compound 5a was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. In addition, the inhibitory activities against four cancer cell lines (HepG2, A549, K562, and PC-3) were tested, respectively, and compound 5i showed significant cytotoxicity on the A549 cell line with the IC50 of 6.15 μM. Surprisingly, in the following preliminary biological experiments, we found that compound 5i induced autophagy by promoting the recycling of EGFR and signal transduction in the A549 cell, resulting in the activation of the EGFR signal pathway. The potential binding pattern between compound 5i and EGFR tyrosine kinase (PDB ID: 1M17) was also identified by molecular docking. Our research paves the way for further studies and the development of novel and powerful anti-cancer drugs.

Design, synthesis and antifungal activity of novel 1,4-benzoxazin-3-one derivatives containing an acylhydrazone moiety.

Project description:A series of 1,4-benzoxazin-3-one derivatives containing an acylhydrazone moiety were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activities against Gibberella zeae, Pellicularia sasakii, Phytophthora infestans, Capsicum wilt, and Phytophthora capsica. The structures of target compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13H NMR, 19F NMR and HRMS. The preliminary antifungal evaluation of all target compounds showed that some target compounds possessed moderate to good activities against G. zeae, P. sasakii, P. infestans and C. wilt. Among them, compounds 5L and 5o exhibited noticeable inhibition effects against G. zeae with the EC50 values (effective concentration for 50% activity) of 20.06 and 23.17 μg/ml, respectively, which were even nearly double effective than that of hymexazol (40.51 μg/ml). Meanwhile, compound 5q displayed a notable inhibitory effect toward P. sasakii, with the EC50 value of 26.66 μg/ml, which was better than that of hymexazol (32.77 μg/ml). In addition, compound 5r yielded the EC50 value of 15.37 μg/ml against P. infestans, which was less than those of hymexazol (18.35 μg/ml) and carbendazim (34.41 μg/ml). Eventually, compound 5p showed higher inhibitory effect against C. wilt, with EC50 value of 26.76 μg/ml, which was better than that of hymexazol (>50 μg/ml).
