Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Phosphonates Derivatives of As Potential Antitumor Agents

Abstract

A series of dialkyl [2-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yloxy)benzamido](aryl) methylphosphonates derivatives were designed and synthesized. All the new compounds were identified by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, and MS. Their antitumor activity against KB and CNE1 cells was examined. Some of the compounds showed potential antitumor activity, which provided some hints for further study of structure modification. In particular, the compounds 6i and 6j displayed more potent cytotoxic activities against KB in comparison with 5-FU.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT      

Synthesis,Structure and Biological Evaluation of Thiourea Derivatives as Antitumor Agents

Two substituted-3-phenylthiourea derivatives have been synthesized and characteri- zed by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural stabili- zation of them followed by intramolecular as well as intermolecular H-bonds makes these molecules as perfect examples in molecular recognition with self-complementary donor and acceptor units within a single molecule. The antitumor activities of compounds I and 2 against breast adeno carcinoma cell line MCF-7 have been evaluated by MTT method. Docking simulations have also been performed to position compounds into the telomerase active sites so as to determine their probable binding models.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Some Novel Isoxazole Derivatives

The reaction of 5‐amino‐3‐methylisoxazole ( 1 ) with formalin and secondary amines gave the corresponding Mannich bases 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . Alkylation of isoxazole derivative 1 with Mannich bases hydrochloride gave unsubstituted isoxazolo[5,4‐b ]pyridine derivatives 8a , 8b via alkylation at position 4. Moreover, coupling reaction of 1 with different diazonium salts gave the corresponding mono and bisazo dyes of isoxazole derivative. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antitumor activity compared with 5‐fluorouracil as a well‐known cytotoxic agent using Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells. Interestingly, the obtained results showed clearly that compounds 3 , 15 , 8b , 4 , 8a , and 5 exhibited high antitumor activity than 5‐fluorouracil.

Novel Pyridothienopyrimidine Derivatives: Design,Synthesis and Biological Evaluation as Antimicrobial and Anticancer Agents

The growing risk of antimicrobial resistance besides the continuous increase in the number of cancer patients represents a great threat to global health, which requires intensified efforts to discover new bioactive compounds to use as antimicrobial and anticancer agents. Thus, a new set of pyridothienopyrimidine derivatives 2a,b–9a,b was synthesized via cyclization reactions of 3-amino-thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides 1a,b with different reagents. All new compounds were evaluated against five bacterial and five fungal strains. Many of the target compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity. In addition, the new derivatives were further subjected to cytotoxicity evaluation against HepG-2 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. The most potent cytotoxic candidates (3a, 4a, 5a, 6b, 8b and 9b) were examined as EGFR kinase inhibitors. Molecular docking study was also performed to explore the binding modes of these derivatives at the active site of EGFR-PK. Compounds 3a, 5a and 9b displayed broad spectrum antimicrobial activity with MIC ranges of 4–16 µg/mL and potent cytotoxic activity with IC₅₀ ranges of 1.17–2.79 µM. In addition, they provided suppressing activity against EGFR with IC₅₀ ranges of 7.27–17.29 nM, higher than that of erlotinib, IC₅₀ = 27.01 nM.     

Design,Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Novel 4-Phenoxyquinoline Derivatives as Potential Antitumor Agents

A series of novel 4-phenoxyquinoline derivatives containing 3-amino-2-cyano-acrylamide framework was designed and synthesized, and the in vitro cytotoxic activities of them against five cancer cell lines(HT-29, H460, A549, MKN-45, and U87MG) were evaluated. Most of the compounds exhibited moderate-to-significant cytotoxicity and high selectivity against one or more cell lines as compared with Foretinib. The studies of their preliminary structure-activity relationships(SARs) indicate that the compounds containing methyl groups, especially methyl groups at 4-position of the phenyl ring(moiety B) are more effective. Among them, compound 36 shows the most potent antitumor activities with IC₅₀ values of 0.04, 0.09, 0.67, 0.39 and 1.10 μmol/L against HT-29, H460, A549, MKN-45 and U87MG cell lines, respectively.     

Synthesis and Antitumor Evaluation of Novel Hybrids of Phenylsulfonylfuroxan and Estradiol Derivatives

Fifteen novel furoxan-based nitric oxide (NO) releasing hybrids of estradiol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in vitro anti-proliferative activity in MDA-MB-231, A2780, Hela and HUVEC cell lines. Most of them displayed potent anti-proliferative effects. Among the compounds, 4-bromo-3-((phenylsulfonyl)-1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxide)-oxy-propoxy-estradiol ( 11 b ) exhibited the best activity with IC₅₀ values of 3.58–0.0008 μM. Preliminary pharmacological studies showed that 11 b induced apoptosis and hardly affected the cell cycle of MDA-MB-231 cell line. NO-releasing capacity and inhibition of ERK/MAPK pathway signaling might explain the potent antineoplastic activity of these compounds. The preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) showed that steroidal scaffolds with a linker in 3-position were favorable moieties to evidently increase the bioactivities of these hybrids. Overall, these results implied that 11 b merited to be further investigated as a promising anti-cancer candidate.     

Synthesis of Novel 3-Substituted Pyridothienopyrimidine Derivatives with Biological Evaluation as Antimicrobial Agents

Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established based on spectral data. The resulting pyridothienopyrimidine derivatives were evaluated for their possible antimicrobial activity and some of them represent a new class of potentially antimicrobial compounds, especially compounds 9 and 18 which displayed the highest activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and Fungi in MIC range of 0.12-1.95 μg/mL.
