In vitro antioxidant properties of new thiazole derivatives

A series of novel N2-[2-chloro-4(3,4,5-trimethoxy phenyl azetidin-1-yl]-N4-(substituted aryl)-1,3-thiazole-2,4-diamine (4a–g) were synthesized starting from 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (1). The compound (1) was obtained by condensing 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzaldehyde with thiosemicarbazide in methanol. 3,4,5-Trimethoxy benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (1) on treatment with chloracetyl chloride afforded 4-chloro-[2-(3,4,5-trimethoxy benzylidine) hydrazinyl]-1,3-thiazole (2). Compound (2) was reacted with chloracetyl chloride and triethylamine to obtain the corresponding 4-chloro-N-[2-chloro-4(3,4,5-trimethoxy phenyl) azetidin-1-yl]-1,3-thiazole-2-amine (3). Various substitutions on compound 3 with secondary amines yielded series of compounds (4a–g). The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectral studies. All the compounds were screened for their in vitro antioxidant properties. The IC₅₀ values of compounds 3 and 4a–g revealed that some of the synthesized compounds were showing potent antioxidant activity.     

1,5-Benzothiazepine Derivatives: Green Synthesis,In Silico and In Vitro Evaluation as Anticancer Agents

Considering the importance of benzothiazepine pharmacophore, an attempt was carried out to synthesize novel 1,5-benzothiazepine derivatives using polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400)-mediated pathways. Initially, different chalcones were synthesized and then subjected to a cyclization step with benzothiazepine in the presence of bleaching clay and PEG-400. PEG-400-mediated synthesis resulted in a yield of more than 95% in less than an hour of reaction time. Synthesized compounds 2a–2j were investigated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity. Moreover, the same compounds were subjected to systematic in silico screening for the identification of target proteins such as human adenosine kinase, glycogen synthase kinase-3β, and human mitogen-activated protein kinase 1. The compounds showed promising results in cytotoxicity assays; among the tested compounds, 2c showed the most potent cytotoxic activity in the liver cancer cell line Hep G-2, with an IC₅₀ of 3.29 ± 0.15 µM, whereas the standard drug IC₅₀ was 4.68 ± 0.17 µM. In the prostate cancer cell line DU-145, the compounds displayed IC₅₀ ranges of 15.42 ± 0.16 to 41.34 ± 0.12 µM, while the standard drug had an IC₅₀ of 21.96 ± 0.15 µM. In terms of structural insights, the halogenated phenyl substitution on the second position of benzothiazepine was found to significantly improve the biological activity. This characteristic feature is supported by the binding patterns on the selected target proteins in docking simulations. In this study, 1,5-benzothiazepines have been identified as potential anticancer agents which can be further exploited for the development of more potent derivatives.

The compounds have significant antioxidant properties in both applied methodologies.

A series of naphthalimide derivatives containing a benzoazole unit (benzothiazole, benzoxazole or benzimidazole) as electron-transporting unit was designed and synthesized, and their photophysical and electroluminescent properties were investigated. The key design of molecular structures included the use of carrier-transporting fragments, together with twisted molecular conformation that could eliminate the recrystallization tendency and favour the formation of a stable amorphous state.

Green or yellow-green electroluminescence was obtained successfully with peak emission in the range 530–560 nm.     

Synthesis and optical characterization of novel azacrown ethers containing an acridinone or an N-methylacridinone unit as potential fluorescent chemosensors

Four new achiral and four new chiral monoazacrown ethers containing an acridinone or an N-methylacridinone fluorescent signalling unit were prepared by reacting chloromethyl-substituted acridinone derivatives with achiral monoazacrown ethers with different cavity sizes and enantiopure monoaza-18-crown-6 ethers having two methyl and two isobutyl groups on their chiral centres, respectively. The operation of these chemosensors is based on the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process, thus they show fluorescence enhancement in the presence of cationic guests. Their fluorescent behaviour as well as their complexation properties towards selected metal ions and the enantiomers of α-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium perchlorate and potassium mandelate were examined.

In vitro antioxidant and in vivo photoprotective effects of an association of bioflavonoids with liposoluble vitamins

A new tendency in cosmetic formulations is the association of botanical extracts and vitamins to improve skin conditions by synergic effects. The objective of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of associated bioflavonoids, retinyl palmitate (RP), tocopheryl acetate (TA) and ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate (ATIP), as well as their photoprotective effects in preventing increased erythema, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and sunburn cell formation in hairless mouse skin. The antioxidant activity of solutions containing the association or each substance separately was evaluated in vitro by a chemiluminescence assay. The photoprotective effect was evaluated by means of in vivo tests. Dorsal skin of hairless mice was treated daily by topical applications for 5 days with formulations containing or not containing (vehicle) the flavonoid-vitamins association (5%). The skin was irradiated (UVA/B) 15 minutes after the last application. The results showed that bioflavonoids had in vitro antioxidant properties and also that when they were associated with vitamins their antioxidant activity was more pronounced. On the other hand, erythema and UV damage to the permeability barrier function (TEWL) was not significantly reduced by previous treatment with the flavonoid-vitamin-association formulations, when compared to the irradiated vehicle-treated area. However, the treatment protected the skin from UV damage because it reduced the number of sunburn cells, when compared to the vehicle-treated area. Finally, the association of vitamins and bioflavonoids added to a dermocosmetic formulation showed a relevant biological activity in terms of photoprotection, because the association of bioflavonoids and vitamins acted by different mechanisms, such as antioxidation and absorption of UV radiation, which suggests its use in antiaging and photoprotective products.     

Synthesis,characterization, electrochemical behavior and antioxidant activity of new copper(II) coordination compounds with curcumin derivatives

Five new copper(II) coordination compounds were prepared by template synthesis, using curcumin, 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole and metal salt (copper chloride, bromide, acetate and nitrate) in 1:2:1 and 1:2:2 molar ratio. The complexes were characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analysis, IR, UV–Vis and mass spectroscopic methods and cyclic voltammetric studies. On the basis of physico-chemical measurements the following formulae have been assigned to the complexes: [Cu(H₂L)(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·H₂O, [CuL]·H₂O, [Cu(H₂L)(H₂O)Br]Br·5H₂O, [Cu₂L(H₂O)₄](NO₃)₂·2H₂O and [Cu₂(H₂L)(NO₃)₄]·H₂O, where H₂L is the hydrazone ligand formed in the reaction conditions. Metal complexes were tested for antioxidant activity by photochemiluminescence and this activity was quantified by comparison with TROLOX®, as standard. The results show that all complexes are more potent antioxidant agents than curcumin.
