AbstractNew 2‐pyridone derivatives bearing p‐methoxyphenyl and p‐bromophenyl substituents at C‐4 and C‐6 were prepared smoothly by the one‐pot reaction in high yield, and in a comparatively short time, it reacted with phosphorous oxychloride to produce the corresponding chloro compound. The latter was reacted with several nitrogen nucleophiles such as sodium azide, hydrazine, acetohydrazide, and benzohydrazide to give tetrazolo, hydrazino, and triazolo derivatives, respectively. The reaction of hydrazino derivative with cyclopentanone, furan‐2‐carbaldehyde afforded the corresponding hydrazone derivatives. Cyclocondensation of the latter compounds with thioglycolic acid afforded the nicotinamide derivatives. 2‐Pyridone reacted with ethyl chloroacetate to afford chloroacetate and ethyl acetate derivatives. Ethyl acetate‐derivative reacted with hydrazine hydrate and gave the acetohydrazide derivative, it was condensed with p‐anisaldehyde and gave the 4‐methoxybenzylidene acetohydrazide derivative. Also, 2‐pyridone reacted with chloroacetic acid and or benzoyl chloride, afforded the benzoate derivative and 2‐((6‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐3‐cyano‐4‐(4‐methoxyphenyl) pyridin‐2‐yl) oxy) acetic acid, respectively. Structures of the products were confirmed using spectroscopic data and elemental analyses. Antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Investigation on Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships of 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives as Potential Telomerase Inhibitors

Telomerase, a reverse transcriptase, maintains telomere and chromosomes integrity of dividing cells, while it is inactivated in most somatic cells. In tumor cells, telomerase is highly activated, and works in order to maintain the length of telomeres causing immortality, hence it could be considered as a potential marker to tumorigenesis.A series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives showed significant broad-spectrum anticancer activity against different cell lines, and demonstrated telomerase inhibition. This series of 24 N-benzylidene-2-((5-(pyridine-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2yl)thio)acetohydrazide derivatives as telomerase inhibitors has been considered to carry out QSAR studies. The endpoint to build QSAR models is determined by the IC50 values for telomerase inhibition, i.e., the concentration (μM) of inhibitor that produces 50% inhibition. These values were converted to pIC50 (- log IC50) values. We used the most common and transparent method, where models are described by clearly expressed mathematical equations: Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Validated models with high correlation coefficients were developed. The Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) models, by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), showed good robustness and predictive capability, according to the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM = 0.8352), a technique that simultaneously enhances the performances of a certain number of criteria. The descriptors selected for the models, such as electrotopological state (E-state) descriptors, and extended topochemical atom (ETA) descriptors, showed the relevant chemical information contributing to the activity of these compounds. The results obtained in this study make sure about the identification of potential hits as prospective telomerase inhibitors.

Azole Based Acetohydrazide Derivatives of Cinnamaldehyde Target and Kill Candida albicans by Causing Cellular Apoptosis.

Opportunistic fungal pathogens including Candida albicans are responsible for the alarming rise in hospital acquired infections and millions of deaths worldwide. The current treatment modalities are not enough to handle this situation, and therefore, new treatment modalities and strategies are desperately needed. In this direction, we synthesized a series of azole based acetohydrazide derivatives of cinnamaldehyde and subjected it to antifungal activity evaluation. Preliminary antifungal activity evaluation revealed tremendous antifungal potential of some of the derivatives against fluconazole susceptible and resistant clinical isolates of Candida albicans. Although all the compounds in the series are structurally similar except for the presence of different substituents on the phenyl ring of the acetohydrazide pendent, they sharply differed in their activity profile. Further mechanism of action studies revealed that these compounds have an apoptotic effect on C. albicans confirmed via Annexin V-FITC staining and TUNEL assay.
