Novel Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives: In Vitro and In Silico Evaluation as Potential MAO-B Inhibitors

MAO-B inhibitors are frequently used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Due to the limited number of compounds available in this field, there is a need to develop new compounds. In the recent works, it was shown that various thiosemicarbazone derivatives show hMAO inhibitory activity in the range of micromolar concentration. It is thought that benzofuran and benzothiophene structures may mimic structures such as indane and indanone, which are frequently found in the structures of such inhibitors. Based on this view, new benzofuran/benzothiophene and thiosemicarbazone hybrid compounds were synthesized, characterized and screened for their hMAO-A and hMAO-B inhibitory activity by an in vitro fluorometric method. The compounds including methoxyethyl substituent (2b and 2h) were found to be the most effective agents in the series against MAO-B enzyme with the IC₅₀ value of 0.042 ± 0.002 µM and 0.056 ± 0.002 µM, respectively. The mechanism of hMAO-B inhibition of compounds 2b and 2h was investigated by Lineweaver–Burk graphics. Compounds 2b and 2h were reversible and non-competitive inhibitors with similar inhibition features as the substrates. The K_i values of compounds 2b and 2h were calculated as 0.035 µM and 0.046 µM, respectively, with the help of secondary plots. The docking study of compound 2b and 2h revealed that there is a strong interaction between the active sites of hMAO-B and analyzed compound.     

Benzene fused five-membered heterocycles. A theoretical approach

The Nuclear Independent Chemical Shift of each ring, as a criterion of aromaticity, is used to explain the stability order of benzopyrrole, benzofuran and benzothiophene, and their isomers. The results indicate that the benzene ring is aromatic in all the systems. The five-membered rings of benzopyrrole, benzofuran and benzothiophene are also aromatic, whereas those of isobenzopyrrole, isobenzofuran and isobenzothiophene are non-aromatic. This could be an explanation of the stability of the former molecules. The molecular orbitals and the condensed Fukui functions derived from the electronic structure calculations are also reported. These reactivity indices explain the expected electrophilic substitution of these compounds. The theoretical structure, ionization energies, order of aromaticity, stability and reactivity are in good agreement with the experimental results. The usefulness of this approach to determine the reactivity is discussed since their stability and reactivity may be understood. The reactivity indices are useful to explain and confirm the experimental information, and for molecules with unknown reactive behavior, this approach could help to predict some of the reactions.     

Suberosanones A – C,New Metabolites Possessing Cyclopentenone System from the South China Sea Gorgonian Coral Subergorgia suberosa

Two unusual novel bicyclic lactones, suberosanones A and B ( 1 and 2 , resp.), characterized by the co‐occurrence of cyclopentenone and butanolide rings within the same molecule, along with one tricyclic cyclopentenone derivative, suberosanone C ( 3 ), were isolated from the South China Sea gorgonian coral Subergorgia suberosa. Their structures were unambiguously established by detailed spectroscopic analyses (NMR, IR, and HR‐MS). The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by quantum‐chemical calculations using the time‐dependent density‐functional theory (TDDFT) method. All compounds showed neither antifouling activity against Balanus amphitrite larvae settlement nor antibacterial activity against a panel of bacterial strains at concentrations up to 25 μg/ml.     

Discovery of Some Heterocyclic Molecules as Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP-2)-Inducible Kinase Inhibitors: Virtual Screening,ADME Properties,and Molecular Docking Simulations

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are growth factors that have a vital role in the production of bone, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Tumors’ upregulation of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their receptors are key features of cancer progression. Regulation of the BMP kinase system is a new promising strategy for the development of anti-cancer drugs. In this work, based on a careful literature study, a library of benzothiophene and benzofuran derivatives was subjected to different computational techniques to study the effect of chemical structure changes on the ability of these two scaffolds to target BMP-2 inducible kinase, and to reach promising candidates with proposed activity against BMP-2 inducible kinase. The results of screening against Lipinski’s and Veber’s Rules produced twenty-one outside eighty-four compounds having drug-like molecular nature. Computational ADMET studies favored ten compounds (11, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 34, 35, 65, and 72) with good pharmacokinetic profile. Computational toxicity studies excluded compound 34 to elect nine compounds for molecular docking studies which displayed eight compounds (26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 35, 65, and 72) as promising BMP-2 inducible kinase inhibitors. The nine fascinating compounds will be subjected to extensive screening against serine/threonine kinases to explore their potential against these critical proteins. These promising candidates based on benzothiophene and benzofuran scaffolds deserve further clinical investigation as BMP-2 kinase inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.     

Basc-catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange in benzo derivatives of five-membered aromatic heterocyeles. Part III. A comparative and systematic study of the i-beuzothiopbene,benzofuran, henzotbiazole and benzoxazole systems

The rates of base-catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange at C-2 in 1-benzothiophene, benzofuran, benzothiazole and benzoxazole were studied. For benzothiophene benzofuran the relative second-order rale constants of hydrogen-deuterium exchange were 4:1, while for benzothiazole and benzoxazole they were 1:20. These data can be explained by assuming that the sulphur heteroatom interacts electronically with the atom in position 3 of the five-membered ring. While, very probably, the d-orbital conjugation cannot depend much on the: atom in position 3, the polarization phenomena can vary more with the atom in position 3. For this reason it was thought that the electronic activity ol the sulphur heleroatom is due to polarization phenomena rather that d-orbilal interaction.     

Halogen Dance on 2-Iodobenzofuran and 2-Iodobenzothiophene and Related Reactions

When 2-iodobenzofuran was treated sequentially with lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide in tetrahydrofuran at −50 °C and an aldehyde, the 2-substituted 3-iodobenzofuran resulting from the halogen dance was the only isolated product. However, from 2-iodobenzothiophene, these conditions led to mixtures in which the 2-substituted 3-iodobenzothiophene was always accompanied by the 2-substituted benzothiophene. The use of 2-bromobenzothiophene as a catalyst made it possible to significantly reduce this competitive dehalogenation. To confirm the halogen dance reaction, the products were unambiguously synthesized by using direct halogenations and deprotolithiation-trapping sequences as key steps. Our efforts to access 2,7-disubstituted and 7-substituted derivatives of benzofuran and benzothiophene have also been reported.     

Recent Advances in the Cycloaddition Reactions of 2‐Benzylidene‐1‐benzofuran‐3‐ones,and Their Sulfur,Nitrogen and Methylene Analogues

Benzothiophene, benzofuran, indole, and indene derivatives are privileged heterocyclic motifs. These are present in a wide range of bioactive natural products and pharmaceutical drugs and are the subject of materials science research. However, the construction of benzothiophene, benzofuran, indole, and indene frameworks have been long‐standing challenges to organic chemists. In this review, we classify the derivatives of four structures synthesized from 2‐benzylidene‐1‐benzofuran‐3‐one and their analogues in terms of their ring size (from three‐ to ten‐membered) and type (fused or spiro), as well as summarizing the developments of this field. Finally, we discuss the ring opening and 1,4‐addition reactions.

An efficient route for commercially viable syntheses of furan- and thiophene-anellated β-hydroxychalcones

An efficient route for the syntheses of β-hydroxychalcones containing benzofuran and benzothiophene rings is described. Isoxazolines obtained from oxime-olefin cycloadditions were reduced under pressure to a mixture of products. Isoxazoles obtained from Claisen aroylation of an ester and subsequent acid cyclization, or from isoxazolines via DDQ-mediated dehydrogenation, were subjected to catalytic hydrogenation followed by hydrolysis to afford 1-phenyl-3-(benzofuran-5-yl)-1,3-diketone and 1-phenyl-3-(benzothiophene-5-yl)-1,3-diketones in very good yields.     

A new approach to the synthesis of benzofuro[3,2‐b]quinolines,benzothieno[3,2‐b]quinolines and indolo[3,2‐b]quinolines

Treatment of 2‐hydroxy‐, 2‐mercapto‐, and 2‐ethoxycarbonylamino‐benzonitriles 12 with 2‐fluoro‐ or 2‐nitrophenacylbromides 13 under alkaline conditions provided the corresponding benzofuran, benzothiophene, and indole intermediates 10 , respectivelly. Nucleophilic cyclization of these compounds led to the corresponding tetracyclic quinolinones 7a, 7b , and 3. Denitrocyclization reaction of compounds 10 (R = NO₂) was found especially useful. Compounds 7a, 7b , and 3 were converted to their chloro derivatives 14a‐c , which were reduced with hydrogen and a catalyst to the corresponding compounds 8a, 8b , and 2. The presented pathway represents a new method of preparation of quindoline 2 and its O and S analogs 8. Chloro derivatives 14 are reactive enough to provide the corresponding methoxy derivatives 15 and dimethylamino derivatives 16. Methylation of compounds 7a and 7b with iodomethane providing mixtures of major N‐methyl derivatives 17 and minor O‐methyl derivatives 15 were also studied.

Synthesis of fluoren-9-ones by the palladium-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of o-halobiaryls

The synthesis of various substituted fluoren-9-ones has been accomplished by the palladium-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of o-halobiaryls. The cyclocarbonylation of 4'-substituted 2-iodobiphenyls produces very high yields of 2-substituted fluoren-9-ones bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents. 3'-Substituted 2-iodobiphenyls afford 3-substituted fluoren-9-ones in excellent yields with good regioselectivity. This chemistry has been successfully extended to polycyclic fluorenones and fluorenones containing fused isoquinoline, indole, pyrrole, thiophene, benzothiophene, and benzofuran rings.     

Arylpyrazole as selective anti-enterococci; synthesis and biological evaluation of novel derivatives for their antimicrobial efficacy

Exploring the structure–activity relationships (SAR) of a new set of phenylpyrazoles unveiled a potential anti-enterococcus lead compound 12 . The benzofuran moiety linked to the phenylpyrazole 12 was 32 times better than vancomycin against Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 51299. Besides, compound 12 is expected to have an excellent oral bioavailability according to the in silico studies. Of SAR analysis, we found that the benzofuran side chain was essential for the activity. Changing the benzofuran with either benzothiophene, phenyl, pyridinyl, tolyl, or naphthyl reduces/nullifies the pharmacological action. Besides the anti-enterococcal activity, derivatives 4 and 6 can be used to develop new broad-spectrum antibiotics as they exhibited activity against the wild-type highly virulent Escherichia coli isolate. Moreover, compound 13 was proved to show antifungal activity (MIC = 4 μg/ml) against the Candida albicans SS5314 (wild type). Finally, the in silico analysis showed that those compounds have good profiles regarding the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies, drug-likeness and pharmacokinetics properties.
