Design,Synthesis, and In Vitro Antileishmanial and Antitumor Activities of New Tetrahydroquinolines

A novel series of tetrahydroquinolines containing acetohydrazide, oxopyrazole, oxothioxodihydropyrazole, and thioxotriazole have been synthesized. Antileishmanial, antitumor, and cytotoxicity activities of synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro. Antileishmanial activity of the most synthesized compounds showed tremendous activity towards Leishmania major. Most of the test compounds exhibited significant level of tumor inhibition. The tetrahydropyrano[2,3‐b]quinolin‐2‐one 6 and 4‐oxo‐4H‐pyrazol‐3‐yloxytetrahydroquinoline‐3‐carbonitrile derivatives 18 showed 100% tumor inhibition comparable with standard drug vincristine (100% tumor inhibition). Tetrahydroquinolines under investigation showed cytotoxicity with LD₅₀ values in the range 0.56–3.01 μg/mL compared with standard drug MS‐222 with LD₅₀ value of 4.30 μg/mL. The presence of a pyrazole ring markedly improved the activity profiles of tetrahydroquinoline. All newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, and MS.

In particular, the mono‐isatin‐gatifloxacin hybrid 3b was found as potent as the parent gatifloxacin against Gram‐positive organisms and could act as a starting point for further optimization.     

Facile One-Pot Multicomponent Synthesis of Pyrazolo-Thiazole Substituted Pyridines with Potential Anti-Proliferative Activity: Synthesis,In Vitro and In Silico Studies

Pyrazolothiazole-substituted pyridine conjugates are an important class of heterocyclic compounds with an extensive variety of potential applications in the medicinal and pharmacological arenas. Therefore, herein, we describe an efficient and facile approach for the synthesis of novel pyrazolo-thiazolo-pyridine conjugate 4, via multicomponent condensation. The latter compound was utilized as a base for the synthesis of two series of 15 novel pyrazolothiazole-based pyridine conjugates (5–16). The newly synthesized compounds were fully characterized using several spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR and MS) and elemental analyses. The anti-proliferative impact of the new synthesized compounds 5–13 and 16 was in vitro appraised towards three human cancer cell lines: human cervix (HeLa), human lung (NCI-H460) and human prostate (PC-3). Our outcomes regarding the anti-proliferative activities disclosed that all the tested compounds exhibited cytotoxic potential towards all the tested cell lines with IC₅₀ = 17.50–61.05 µM, especially the naphthyridine derivative 7, which exhibited the most cytotoxic potential towards the tested cell lines (IC₅₀ = 14.62–17.50 µM) compared with the etoposide (IC50 = 13.34–17.15 µM). Moreover, an in silico docking simulation study was performed on the newly prepared compounds within topoisomerase II (3QX3), to suggest the binding mode of these compounds as anticancer candidates. The in silico docking results indicate that compound 7 was a promising lead anticancer compound which possesses high binding affinity toward topoisomerase II (3QX3) protein.

Some of them exhibited antifeeding activities comparable to or stronger than tonghaosu Z-1. Based on the activity data, the preliminary structure-activity relationship was also discussed, which might be instructive for finding out lead compounds with better bioactivities in the future.     

Synthesis and Insecticidal Activities of Chlorothiazolyl Analogs of Nitromethylene Neonicotinoids with Tetrahydropyridine Fixed cis‐Configuration

The chlorothiazolyl moiety was an effective bioisoster of chloropyridyl in pesticide molecular design. Replacement of chloropyridyl in cis‐nitromethylene neonicotinoids with chlorothiazolyl generated the chlorothiazolyl counterpart of nitromethylene neonicotinoids with tetrahydropyridine fixed cis‐configuration. Bioassay against cowpea aphis (Aphis craccivora) indicated that the chlorothiazolyl analogs could maintain the high insecticidal activity.     

Design,Synthesis, and In Vitro Anti‐mycobacterial Activities of Propylene Tethered Benzofuran–Isatin Hybrids

A series of novel propylene tethered benzofuran–isatin hybrids 5a–j were designed, synthesized, and assessed for their in vitro anti‐mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H₃₇Rv and multidrug‐resistant (MDR)‐MTB strains. All hybrids exhibited promising anti‐mycobacterial activities against the tested two pathogens with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 2 to 32 μg/mL, and the resistance index for a significant part of the hybrids was ≤1, indicating their potential for the treatment of drug‐resistant tuberculosis. Hybrid 5g (MIC: 2 and 4 μg/mL) was found to be the most active against MTB H₃₇Rv and MDR‐MTB, which was eightfold and >32‐fold more active than the first‐line anti‐tuberculosis drugs rifampicin (MIC: 32 μg/mL) and isoniazid (MIC: >128 μg/mL) against MDR‐MTB, and it could act as a starting point for further optimization.     

In Vitro and In Vivo Trypanocidal Efficacy of Synthesized Nitrofurantoin Analogs

African trypanosomes cause diseases in humans and livestock. Human African trypanosomiasis is caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense. Animal trypanosomoses have major effects on livestock production and the economy in developing countries, with disease management depending mainly on chemotherapy. Moreover, only few drugs are available and these have adverse effects on patients, are costly, show poor accessibility, and parasites develop drug resistance to them. Therefore, novel trypanocidal drugs are urgently needed. Here, the effects of synthesized nitrofurantoin analogs were evaluated against six species/strains of animal and human trypanosomes, and the treatment efficacy of the selected compounds was assessed in vivo. Analogs 11 and 12, containing 11- and 12-carbon aliphatic chains, respectively, showed the highest trypanocidal activity (IC₅₀ < 0.34 µM) and the lowest cytotoxicity (IC₅₀ > 246.02 µM) in vitro. Structure-activity relationship analysis suggested that the trypanocidal activity and cytotoxicity were related to the number of carbons in the aliphatic chain and electronegativity. In vivo experiments, involving oral treatment with nitrofurantoin, showed partial efficacy, whereas the selected analogs showed no treatment efficacy. These results indicate that nitrofurantoin analogs with high hydrophilicity are required for in vivo assessment to determine if they are promising leads for developing trypanocidal drugs.
