Design,synthesis, cytotoxicity and 3D-QSAR analysis of new 3,6-disubstituted-1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives as potential antitumor agents

We synthesized two new series of 3-substituted-6-(2,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines and analysed them for a potential role as antitumor agents. Twenty-two compounds were obtained, and four molecular structures were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Using flow cytometry and MTT assay, potential action on cell toxicity was determined for each of the compounds for four cancer cell lines. The potency and selectivity demonstrated by these compounds are dependent on the cancer cell line, where the following compounds were found the most promising agents against certain cell lines: compounds 1i and 1j for HL-60 cells, 1a and 1b on HCT116 cells, 1f on Hela cells and 2h on H1975 cells. The action exerted by these compounds is comparable to the well-known cancer treatment drug etoposide and higher than vatalanib. To arrive at the structural requirements for activity on each cell line, a SAR and 3D-QSAR analysis was carried out. From the 3D-QSAR models, steric and electronic features were identified in the aromatic centres, and were key components for cytotoxic activity on HL-60 cell lines. The cytometry results suggest that some tetrazine derivatives induce apoptosis on HCT116 cells.     

Synthesis,cytotoxicity, apoptosis and molecular docking studies of novel phenylbutyrate derivatives as potential anticancer agents

Phenylbutyrate (PB), a small aromatic fatty acid, has been known as an interesting compound with the ability of anti-proliferation and cell growth inhibition in cancer cells. In the present study, a series of PB derivatives were synthesized by Passerini multicomponent reaction and their cytotoxic activities against various human cancer cell lines including A549 (non-small cell lung cancer), MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer), and SW1116 (colon cancer) were evaluated. The results revealed that B9, displayed significantly higher in vitro cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ of 6.65, 8.44 and 24.71 μM, against A549, MDA-MB-231 and, SW1116, respectively, in comparison to PB. The effects of these compounds on the proliferation of MCF-10A as non-tumoral breast cell line, showed good selectivity of the compounds between tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic cell lines. Moreover, B9 has indicated apoptosis-inducing activities to MDA-MB-231 cancer cell line in a dose-dependent manner. The molecular docking studies of the synthesized compounds on pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2 (PDK2; PDB ID: 2BU8) and histone deacetylase complex (HDAC; PDB ID: 1C3R), as the main targets of PB were applied to predict the binding sites and binding orientation of the compounds to these targets.

In this article, the main target was to study the antitumor and antimicrobial efficacy of new heterocycles conjugated with biphenyl moiety in-vitro. This was implemented by utilizing N'-(1-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethylidene)-2-cyanoacetohydrazide 3 as a material for the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new 2-((1-furan-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazono)-4-phenylthiazol-3(2H)-amine derivatives and their schiff bases with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde

Abstract

A new series of 2-((1-furan-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazono)-4-substitutedphenylthiazol-3(2H)-amines (2a–2o) and their Schiff bases (3a–3o) from 4-nitrobenzaldehyde were synthesized. The chemical structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by their IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. They were screened for their antimicrobial and antifungal activities. Additionally, in vitro cytotoxic acivity of the most active antifungal compound (3o) and ketoconazole was determined in NIH/3T3 cells by MTT assay. Compound 2i (4-{3-Amino-2-[(1-(furan-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazono]-2,3-dihydrothiazol-4-yl}phenol) showed the greatest antifungal activity among the newly synthesized derivatives. Schiff bases (3c-3n) displayed an undeniable fungicidal action against Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019 as intense as the reference ketoconazole. In addition, the most active Schiff base 3o (2-[(1-(Furan-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazono]-N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-4-(2,3,4-trichloro phenyl)thiazol-3(2H)-amine) showed the highest antifungal activity against both Candida krusei ATCC 6258 and Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019, and was as potent as ketoconazole. Moreover, compound 3o was found to be non-cytotoxic against NIH/3T3 cells.

Design,synthesis and evaluation of 2-(4-(substituted benzoyl)-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives as a new class of falcipain-2 inhibitors

The cysteine protease, falcipain-2 is an important drug target in human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. A new series of 2-(4-(substituted benzoyl)-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives 5(a–t) were designed as per pharmacophoric requirements of falcipain-2 inhibitors using ligand-based approach. The target compounds were synthesized from the key intermediate, 2-(1,4-Diazepan-1-yl)-N-phenylacetamide, by coupling it with appropriate carboxylic acids using carbodiimide chemistry. Structural features of target compounds were characterized by spectral data (¹H NMR, and mass) and elemental analyses. The purity of the final compounds was confirmed by HPLC. The compounds were tested for their in vitro falcipain-2 inhibitor activity on recombinant falcipain-2 enzyme. Five compounds 5b, 5g, 5h, 5j, 5k showed good inhibitory activity (>60%), against falcipain-2 at 10 μM concentration, and fifteen compounds showed weak to moderate inhibitor activity. Compound 5g, the most potent compound from this series showed 72% inhibition at 10 μM concentrations.     

Structural studies of diethyltin(IV) derivatives and their biological aspects as potential antitumor agents against Agrobacterium tumefacien cells

A series of new diethyltin(IV) derivatives of substituted phenyl acrylates have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F and ¹¹⁹Sn) and X‐ray single crystal analysis. X‐ray single crystal diffraction study of complex 8 has shown the formation of secondary O···Sn, F···H and H···O intermolecular interactions. These complexes proved to be good antitumor agents. The antitumor properties are presumably due to the intercalative mode of interaction of these complexes with the tumor cells' DNA. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cobalt(II) complexes with thiosemicarbazone as potential antitumor agents: synthesis,crystal structures,DNA interactions,and cytotoxicity

Two cobalt(II) complexes [Co(QCT)₂]·Cl·1.5H₂O (1) (QCT = quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone) and [Co(QCMT)(CH₃OH)Cl₂] (2) (QCMT = quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde N⁴-methyl-thiosemicarbazone) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in a triclinic system with space group P–1 and complex 2 crystallizes in a monoclinic system with space group P2(1)/n. In both complexes the cobalt(II) center is six coordinated with distorted octahedral geometry. The interactions of two complexes with CT-DNA were investigated by electronic absorption spectra, circular dichroism (CD) spectra and fluorescence spectra. Results suggest that the complexes bind to DNA via groove binding mode, and complex 2 has stronger binding ability than complex 1. The in vitro cytotoxicity has been tested against the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A-549, cisplatin-resistant cell line A-549/CDDP, and human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7. Complex 2 is more cytotoxic than complex 1, and both of them show higher cytotoxicity than the parent ligands alone. Compared with cisplatin, the two cobalt(II) complexes are more active against A-549/CDDP and MCF-7 cell lines at most experimental concentrations. Notably, although complex 2 is found to be less effective than cisplatin against the parent cell line A-549, it is much more effective than cisplatin against the resistant cell A-549/CDDP.
