Synthesis and biological evaluation of coumarin-quinone hybrids as multifunctional bioactive agents.

ABSTRACT: We report the synthesis, structural characterization and pharmaceutical activity of four coumarin-quinone hybrids. The compounds were significantly active against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeoginosa and Candida albicans. Promising antioxidant activity was observed when compared to ascorbic acid. Two compounds, DTBSB and DTBSN, also showed commendable in vitro antiproliferative activities against the cells of human cancer cell lines MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, COLO-205, HT-29 and A549 along with appreciable tumor selectivity with distinct selectivity index. Molecular docking studies using cyclooxygenase-2 (PDB ID: 6COX) revealed strong binding affinities for the COX-2 active site. Moreover, ADMET properties of the synthesized compounds were determined using the pKCSM and SwissADME online tools and all the compounds had accurate pharmacokinetic profiles. Hence, the new coumarin-quinone hybrids DTBSB and DTBSN can be considered for optimization and lead development.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Harmirins, Novel Harmine-Coumarin Hybrids as Potential Anticancer Agents.

Project description:As cancer remains one of the major health burdens worldwide, novel agents, due to the development of resistance, are needed. In this work, we designed and synthesized harmirins, which are hybrid compounds comprising harmine and coumarin scaffolds, evaluated their antiproliferative activity, and conducted cell localization and cell cycle analysis experiments. Harmirins were prepared from the corresponding alkynes and azides under mild reaction conditions using Cu(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, leading to the formation of the 1H-1,2,3-triazole ring. Antiproliferative activity of harmirins was evaluated in vitro against four human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HCT116, SW620, and HepG2) and one human non-cancer cell line (HEK293T). The most pronounced activities were exerted against MCF-7 and HCT116 cell lines (IC50 in the single-digit micromolar range), while the most selective harmirins were 5b and 12b, substituted at C-3 and O-7 of the β-carboline core and bearing methyl substituent at position 6 of the coumarin ring (SIs > 7.2). Further experiments demonstrated that harmirin 12b is localized exclusively in the cytoplasm. In addition, it induced a strong G1 arrest and reduced the percentage of cells in the S phase, suggesting that it might exert its antiproliferative activity through inhibition of DNA synthesis, rather than DNA damage. In conclusion, harmirin 12b is a novel harmine and coumarin hybrid with significant antiproliferative activity and warrants further evaluation as a potential anticancer agent.

Biological evaluation of novel amidino substituted coumarin-benzazole hybrids as promising therapeutic agents.

Project description:Herein we present the design and the synthesis of novel substituted coumarin-benzimidazole/benzothiazole hybrids bearing a cyclic amidino group on the benzazole core as biologically active agents. All prepared compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiviral and antioxidative activity as well as for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against a panel of several human cancer cell lines. Coumarin-benzimidazole hybrid 10 (EC50 9.0-43.8 μM) displayed the most promising broad spectrum antiviral activity, while two other coumarin-benzimidazole hybrids 13 and 14 showed the highest antioxidative capacity in the ABTS assay, superior to the reference standard BHT (IC50 0.17 and 0.11 mM, respectively). Computational analysis supported these results and demonstrated that these hybrids benefit from the high C-H hydrogen atom releasing tendency of the cationic amidine unit, and the pronounced ease with which they can liberate an electron, promoted by the electron-donating diethylamine group on the coumarin core. The coumarin ring substitution at position 7 with a N,N-diethylamino group also caused a significant enhancement of the antiproliferative activity, with the most active compounds being derivatives with a 2-imidazolinyl amidine group 13 (IC50 0.3-1.9 μM) and benzothiazole derivative with a hexacyclic amidine group 18 (IC50 1.3-2.0 μM).

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 3,7-substituted coumarin derivatives as multifunctional Alzheimer's disease agents.

Project description:Multitarget directed ligands (MTDLs) are emerging as promising treatment options for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Coumarin derivatives serve as a good starting point for designing MTDLs due to their inherent inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO) and cholinesterase enzymes, which are complicit in AD's complex pathophysiology. A preliminary series of 3,7-substituted coumarin derivatives were synthesised and evaluated for enzyme inhibitory activity, cytotoxicity as well as neuroprotective ability. The results indicated that the compounds are weak cholinesterase inhibitors with five compounds demonstrating relatively potent inhibition and selectivity towards MAO-B with IC50 values between 0.014 and 0.498 hx00B5;µM. Significant neuroprotective effects towards MPP+-compromised SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were also observed, with no inherent cytotoxicity at 10 µM for all compounds. The overall results demonstrated that substitution of the phenylethyloxy moiety at the 7-position imparted superior general activity to the derivatives, with the propargylamine substitution at the 3-position, in particular, displaying the best MAO-B selectivity and neuroprotection.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of dehydroabietic acid-pyrimidine hybrids as antitumor agents.

Project description:A series of novel dehydroabietic acid derivatives containing pyrimidine moieties were designed and synthesized to explore more efficacious and less toxic antitumor agents according to the principle of combination and hybridization. The cytotoxicity against human liver cancer (HepG2) cells, human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, human colon cancer (HCT-116) cells, human lung cancer (A549) cells, and human normal liver cells (LO2) was estimated by MTT assay in vitro. Cytotoxic activity screening revealed that most of the compounds showed moderate to high levels of cytotoxicity against these four cancer cell lines and that some displayed more potent inhibitory activities compared with 5-FU. In particular, compound 3b exhibited promising cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging from 7.00 to 11.93 μM against all the tested cell lines and displayed weak cytotoxicity towards normal cells. Besides, cell cycle analysis indicated that compound 3b mainly arrested MCF-7 cells at the S stage and induced cell apoptosis.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel 4-Substituted Coumarin Derivatives as Antitumor Agents.

Project description:Herein, fifteen new compounds containing coumarin, 1,2,3-triazole and benzoyl- substituted arylamine moieties were designed, synthesized and tested in vitro for their anticancer activity. The results showed that all tested compounds had moderate antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-231, a human breast cancer cell line, under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Furthermore, the 4-substituted coumarin linked with benzoyl 3,4-dimethoxyaniline through 1,2,3-triazole (compound 5e) displayed the most prominent antiproliferative activities with an IC50 value of 0.03 μM, about 5000 times stronger than 4-hydroxycoumarin (IC50 > 100 μM) and 20 times stronger than doxorubicin (IC50 = 0.60 μM). Meanwhile, almost all compounds revealed general enhancement of proliferation-inhibiting activity under hypoxia, contrasted with normoxia. A docking analysis showed that compound 5e had potential to inhibit carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX).

Design, Synthesis and Preliminary Biological Evaluation of Benzylsulfone Coumarin Derivatives as Anti-Cancer Agents.

Project description:In this work, a series of benzylsulfone coumarin derivatives 5a-5o were synthesized and characterized. Kinase inhibitory activity assay indicated that most of the compounds showed considerable activity against PI3K. Anti-tumor activity studies of the active compounds were also carried out in vitro on the Hela, HepG2, H1299, HCT-116, and MCF-7 tumor cell lines by MTS assay. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of these compounds were analyzed in detail. Compound 5h exhibited the most potent activities against the mentioned cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 18.12 to 32.60 μM, followed by 5m with IC50 values of 29.30-42.14 μM. Furthermore, 5h and 5m clearly retarded the migration of Hela cells in vitro. Next, an in silico molecular docking study was conducted to evaluate the binding models of 5h and 5m towards PI3Kα and PI3Kβ. Collectively, the above findings suggested that compounds 5h and 5m might be promising PI3K inhibitors deserving further investigation for cancer treatment.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of artemisinin-indoloquinoline hybrids as potent antiproliferative agents.

Project description:A series of artemisinin-indoloquinoline hybrids were designed and synthesized in an attempt to develop potent and selective anti-tumor agents. Compounds 7a-7f, 8 and 9 were prepared and characterized. Their antiproliferative activities against MV4-11, HCT-116, A549, and BALB/3T3 cell lines in vitro were tested. Nearly all of the tested compounds (7-9, except for compounds 7d and 7e against HCT-116) showed an increased antitumor activity against HCT-116 and A549 cell lines when compared to the dihydroartemisinin control. Especially for the artemisinin-indoloquinoline hybrid 8, with an 11-aminopropylamino-10H-indolo[3,2-b]quinoline substituent, the antiproliferative activity against the A549 cell line had improved more than ten times. The IC50 value of hybrid 8 against A549 cell lines was decreased to 1.328 ± 0.586 μM, while dihydroartemisin showed IC50 value of >20 µM in the same cell line. Thus, these results have proven that the strategy of introducing a planar basic fused aromatic moiety, such as the indoloquinoline skeleton, could improve the antiproliferative activity and selectivity towards cancer cell lines.

Novel Coumarin 7-Carboxamide/Sulfonamide Derivatives as Potential Fungicidal Agents: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation.

Project description:Coumarin compounds have a variety of biological activities such as anti-tumor, anti-coagulation, anti-HIV, anti-fungal, and insecticidal. Amide and sulfonamide compounds have been used as fungicides for half a century, and dozens of varieties have been developed so far. This study focused on the introduction of carboxamide and sulfonamide moieties in a coumarin core to discover novel derivatives. Based on this strategy, we synthesized two series of novel carboxamide and sulfonamide substituted coumarin derivatives, and their fungicidal activity was also investigated. Some designed compounds possessed potential activities against six phytopathogenic fungi in the primary assays, highlighted by compound 6r. Compound 6r exhibited stronger fungicidal activity against Botrytis cinerea (EC50 = 20.52 µg/mL) and will be the lead structure for further study.
