Synthesis of New Quinolone Antibiotics Utilizing Azetidine Derivatives Obtained from 1-Azabicyclo[1.1.0]butane

A series of 3-sulfenylazetidine derivatives 5a-f were synthesized via the ring-opening reactions of 1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butane (ABB, 3) with thiols 4a-f in 50-92% yields. Treatment of ABB (3) with aromatic amines 9a-e and dibenzylamine (9f) in the presence of Mg(ClO4)2 afforded the corresponding 3-aminoazetidine derivatives 10a-f in 24-65% yields. N-Benzyl-3-bromoazetidine (13), which was obtained by the reaction of ABB (3) with benzyl bromide, gave 3-aliphatic amino-substituted azetidine derivatives 15a, b. Novel fluoroquinolones 7a-f, 11a-f, 16a, b and 25a-c were obtained by the introduction of these azetidine derivatives into the C7 position of a quinolone nucleus 6 and N1-heterocyclic quinolones 21a-c in 21-83% yields. Some of them exhibited a greater antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in comparison with that of clinically used fluoroquinolone, levofloxacin (LVFX).

Synthesis,characterization, and antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities of pyrazolo derivatives

Twenty-four pyrazolo derivatives (1–4)(a-f) were synthesized and characterized by FTIR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were also investigated for their antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities.

The compound 4f showed higher activity in both assays as compared with the others. Additionally, the anticholinesterase activity test provided higher values than the galantamine in the BChE assay. Therefore, compound 4f can be used as anticholinesterase agent and/or anticholinesterase assay standard.

Novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole conjugates derived from protocatechuic acid: Synthesis,antioxidant activity,and computational and electrochemical studies

A series of 15 novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole amide derivatives containing a protocatechuic acid moiety were synthesized and structurally characterized. In addition, the corresponding imino (4) and amino (5) analogues of a phenyl-substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole amide derivative 3a were prepared to compare the effects of the structural changes on the radical-scavenging activity. The obtained compounds were examined for their antioxidative potential by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays. In addition, selected compounds were studied by density functional theory (DFT) and cyclic voltammetry experiments. The tested compounds showed high potential to scavenging DPPH radical and ABTS radical cation compared with the referent antioxidants ascorbic acid and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA). On the basis of the calculated thermodynamic parameters, it can be concluded that the sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) mechanism represents the most probable reaction path in a polar solvent for DPPH radical–scavenging activity. On the other hand, the single electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SET-PT) can be a likely mechanistic pathway in the case of an ABTS radical cation.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial bioassays of 1,3,4-thiadiazole sulfone derivatives containing amide moiety: A study based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations,MM/GBSA,and molecular docking

The backbone structure (1,3,4-thiadiazole sulfone derivatives containing amide moiety) of target compounds was determined by modification and optimization of the theoretical design based on commercial chemical carboxin, including molecular docking, scaffold hopping, ligand expansion, etc.In this paper, 23 target compounds were synthesized by the combination of theoretical design and chemical synthesis, and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and HR MS. Addtionally, the antibacterical bioassay showed that most target compounds performed excellent inhibition on Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) in vitro. Meanwhile, molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and studies on ligand/protein (carboxin/2FBW and 4n/2FBW) complex systems were displayed, and the interaction patterns of ligand/protein complex system were predicted by molecular docking. Besides, the ligand/protein complex system was subject to MD simulation. The analysis of molecular dynamics such as RMSD values suggested that compound/2FBW complexes were stable. MM/GBSA (Molecular mechanics generalized born surface area) dynamic binding affinity results revealed that the active residues (TYR58, HIS26, ARG43, SER39, etc.) played an essential part in the binding of the compound(s) to form a stable low-energy ligand/protein complex, while the MD trajectories demonstrated that the interactions of drugs with 2FBW affected the tertiary structure and increased the stability of protein. Besides, compound 4n also showed control efficacies (curative and protective) on Xoo in vivo, where the curative efficacy was 35.91% and the protective efficacy was 18.97%. In a word, this study showed that 1,3,4-thiadiazole sulfone derivatives containing amide moiety designed based on the structure of carboxin were promising agricultural antibacterial agents, featuring certain stability of binding affinity to proteins and carboxin.     

Design,synthesis and insecticidal activities of novel 1-substituted-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide derivatives

A series of novel 5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide derivatives(6a–6n, 7a, 7b, and 8a-8f)were synthesised by placing the amide bond at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring. These derivatives differed from the structure of chlorantraniliprole analogues with the amide bond at the 5-position of the pyrazole ring. Preliminary bioassay results revealed that a few title compounds exhibited good insecticidal activities against lepidopteran pests, such as Plutella xylostella, Mythimna separate, Heliothis armigera, and Ostrinia nubilalis. Some title compounds also elicited broad-spectrum insecticidal activities against dipterous insects including Culex pipiens pallens after altering the amide position. Similar to pyrazole-5-carboxamide analogues, compounds 6b and 6e showed 100% insecticidal activity against P. xylostella, C. pipiens pallens, and M. separate at concentrations of 200, 2, and 200 mg/m L, respectively.This finding suggested that 5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide derivatives are potential alternative insecticides for management of agriculture pests.     

Design,synthesis and biological activity of novel substituted pyrazole amide derivatives targeting Ec R/USP receptor

In order to discover highly active ecdysone analogs, a series of new substituted pyrazole amide derivatives were obtained using structure-guided optimization method and further screened for their insecticidal activities, in the basis of the core structures of the two active compounds N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(tert-butyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide(6e) and N-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-3-(tert-butyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide(6i), previously presented by us. The chemical structures of the title compounds were identified by spectral analyses. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that one among the synthesized pyrazole derivatives, compound 34, endowed with good activity against Mythimna Separata at 10 mg/L, which was equal to that displayed by the positive control tebufenozide. In addition, examples of molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies demonstrated that 34 may be the potential inhibitor to Ec R and its docking conformation was similar to that of tebufenozide. In addition, increasing the hydrophobic effect and considering the suitable bulk effect on pyrazole ring are beneficial to the inhibiting activity to Ec R and activity in vivo.

Docking studies shed light on the relevant electrostatic interactions which could explain the observed affinity for this compound.

An improved chemo-enzymatic synthesis of 1-beta-O-acyl glucuronides: highly chemoselective enzymatic removal of protecting groups from corresponding methyl acetyl derivatives

An improved and widely applicable chemo-enzymatic method for the synthesis of a series of 1-beta-O-acyl glucuronides 5a-f has been developed from the corresponding methyl acetyl derivatives 3a-f, which were stereospecifically synthesized from cesium salts of carboxylic acids 1a-f and methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-1-bromo-1-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranuronate (2). Chemoselectivity of lipase AS Amano (LAS) in the hydrolytic removal of O-acetyl groups of 3a-f to provide methyl esters 4a-f was influenced by the nature of their 1-beta-O-acyl groups; high selectivity was evident only for 3b and 3f. Carboxylesterase from Streptomyces rochei (CSR), newly screened as an alternative to LAS, showed much greater chemoselectivity toward the O-acetyl groups than LAS; 3a, 3d, and 3e were chemoselectively hydrolyzed only by CSR. The combination of CSR with LAS yielded better results in the hydrolysis of 3c and 3f than did single usage of CSR. Final deprotection of the methyl ester groups of 4a-f to provide 5a-f was chemoselectively achieved by using lipase from Candida antarctica type B (CAL-B) as well as esterase from porcine liver (PLE), although CAL-B possessed higher chemoselectivity and catalytic efficiency than did PLE. CSR also exhibited high chemoselectivity in the synthesis of (S)-naproxen 1-beta-O-acyl glucopyranoside (7) from its 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl derivative 6.     

Novel pyrethrin derivatives containing hydrazone and 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether moieties: Design,synthesis, and insecticidal activity

Abstract

A series of novel pyrethrin derivatives containing hydrazone and 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their insecticidal activity. Bioassays indicated that some of the target compounds exhibited good insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella (P. xylostella), Vegetable aphids (V. aphids), and Empoasca vitis (E. vitis). In particular, compound (E)-2-((5-(2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)cyclopropyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio)-N'-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylidene)acetohydrazide (6s) revealed excellent insecticidal activities against P. xylostella, V. aphids, and E. vitis with the 50% lethal concentration (LC₅₀) values of 5.23, 7.07, and 1.61?mg/L, respectively, which were similar to or even better than those of chlorpyrifos, beta cypermethrin, spinosad, and azadirachtin. These results indicated that novel pyrethrin derivatives containing hydrazone and 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether moieties could be developed as novel and promising insecticides.     

Synthesis,molecular docking with COX 1& II enzyme,ADMET screening and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of oxadiazole,thiadiazole and triazole analogs of felbinac

Based on the core structure of Felbinac drug, three series (4a–d, 5a–d and 6a–n) of five membered heterocyclic derivatives containing three heteroatoms were designed and synthesized starting from Felbinac. In the rational design of the target molecules, the biphenyl ring along with the methylene bridge of felbinac was retained while the carboxyl group was substituted with biologically active substituents like 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole, with an intent to obtain novel, better and safer anti-inflammatory agents with improved efficacy. The prepared molecules were then investigated for their anti-inflammatory, ulcerogenicity and analgesic activity in experimental animals. The tested compounds exhibited varying degrees of inflammatory activity (25.21–72.87%), analgesic activity (27.50–65.24%) and severity index on gastric mucosa in the range of 0.20–0.80 in comparison to positive control felbinac (62.44%, 68.70% and 1.5, respectively). Among all the prepared compounds, 2-(biphenyl-4-ylmethyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (6c) emerged as the most potent NSAID compound exhibiting the highest anti-inflammatory activity (72.87% inhibition) and analgesic activity (65.24%) along with the least severity index on gastric mucosa (0.20). Further, molecular docking on cyclooxygenase and in silico ADME-Toxicity prediction studies also supported the experimental biological results and indicated that 6c has a potential to serve as a drug candidate or lead compound for developing novel anti-inflammatory and analgesic therapeutic agent(s) with minimum toxicity on gastric mucosa.
