Activity Of New Derivatives Research Articles

Synthesis, Docking Studies into CDK-2 and Anticancer Activity of New Derivatives Based Pyrimidine Scaffold and Their Derived Glycosides.

New diaryl-substituted pyrimidinedione compounds, their thioxo derivatives as well as their bicyclic thiazole compounds were synthesized and characterized. The glycosylamino derivatives of the synthesized disubstituted derivatives of the pyrimidine scaffold were also prepared via reaction of the N3-amino derivatives with a number of monosaccharides followed by acetylation. The anticancer activity of the synthesized compounds was studied against human liver cancer (HepG2) and RPE-1cell lines. Compounds 2a, 2b, 3a and 12 showed potent activities with IC50 results comparable to that of doxorubicin. Docking investigations into Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK-2) enzyme, a potential target for cancer medication, were also reported showing the possible binding interaction into the enzyme active site to support their activity behavior.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new derivatives of pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and new heterocyclic systems

Taking into account previously obtained biological results on some polyheterocyclic compounds (containing different heteroatoms) and in particular on several 8-amino-5-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines Ia-v we have carried out the synthesis of twentyone 8-amino-5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines 6. Therefore we have slightly modified the structure of the previously studied I introducing at C-5 an isobutyl group instead of the previously examined isopropyl ones in order to see if this variation (changing a little the lipophilicity) will affect the biological activity. Furthermore thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione 7 and their S-alkylated 8 were synthesized. Finally by alkylation of 5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one 3 with alkyl dichlorides (bifunctional reagents) we realized the cyclization of a thiazole or thiazine ring on the [b] side of the pyrimidine ring with formation of the new condensed pentaheterocyclic systems: pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8-one 11 and pyrano[4''',3''':4'',5'']pyrido[3'',2'':4',5']thieno[3',2':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-8-one 12. It was found that some of the synthesized compounds showed interesting antimicrobial activity (by agar diffusion method) against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli strains.

Synthesis and biological activity of new derivatives with the preserved carane system

Terpenoid derivatives, which contain a preserved carane system in their structure, exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities. Among them, we can distinguish insecticides, structures with pharmacological application etc. In the presented paper, the substrate - (–)-cis-caran-trans-4-ol was transformed using the reactions of typical organic synthesis to obtain novel derivatives. Most importantly, bromolactone ((–)-(1R,4R,6S)-2'-(bromomethyl)-4,7,7-trimethylspiro[bicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-3,3'-furan]-5'(4'H)-one) with the preserved carane system was synthesized. This bromolactone was tested for antifeedant activity against the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus Panzer, and peach potato aphid (Myzus persicae). In addition, its moderate antibacterial activity was observed against the Bacillus subtilis strain (with Minimal Inhibitory Concentration of 200 µg/mL).

Investigation of the activity of new derivatives of 1,3-diazinone-4 and their acyclic precursors with respect to bacteria of the genus Proteus

Introduction: The present paper provides a study of the activity of the new 1,3-diazinon-4 derivatives and their acyclic precursors under the laboratory cipher PYaTd1, PYaTs2, PYaTs3 and PYaTs4 against microorganisms of the genus Proteus, which is of high importance at the moment as the growing resistance of the Proteus to previously highly active antibiotics dictates the need to search for effective antimicrobial agents that meet modern safety requirements.
 Materials and Methods: The study of the activity of the compounds was carried out on collection and freshly isolated strains from patients with different pathologies. The strains were identified using the BIOMIC V3 apparatus (Giles Scientific, USA) to verify genus and species identity. The strains used in the study were previously examined for sus­ceptibility to antibacterial drugs by the Disc Method to assess the presence or absence of resistance. The activity of the new compounds was studied by the serial dilution method.
 Results: The results of the study showed that the compounds PYaTd1, PYaTs2, PYaTs3 and PYaTs4 show a different activity against bacteria of the genus Proteus. The substance PYaTs2 is ineffective. With respect to strains P. mirabilis and P. rettgeri, the minimum inhibitory concentration of the compounds PYaTs3, PYaTs4 and PYaTd1 ranges from 4 μg/ml to 16 μg/ml.
 Conclusion: Thus, by the average aggregate indices, regardless of the species and strain of bacteria, the most effective compound is PYaTd1, the MIC50 of which is within 10 μg/ml, which proves it to be promising and makes further de­velopment worthwhile.

New cytokinin derivatives possess UVA and UVB photoprotective effect on human skin cells and prevent oxidative stress

Eleven 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin, Kin) derivatives were synthesized to obtain biologically active compounds. The prepared compounds were characterized using 1H NMR, mass spectrometry combined with HPLC purity determination and elemental C, H, N analyses. The biological activity of new derivatives was tested on plant cells and tissues in cytokinin bioassays, such as tobacco callus, detached wheat leaf chlorophyll retention bioassay and Amaranthus bioassay. The selected compounds were subsequently tested on normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) and keratinocyte cell lines (HaCaT) to exclude possible phototoxic effects and, on the other hand, to reveal possible UVA and UVB photoprotective activity. The protective antioxidant activity of the prepared cytokinin derivatives was further studied and compared to previously prepared antisenescent compound 6-furfurylamino-9-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)purine (Kin-THF) using induced oxidative stress (OS) on nematode Caenorhabditis elegans damaged by 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone), a generator of reactive oxygen species. The observed biological activity was interpreted in relation to the structure of the prepared derivatives. The most potent oxidative stress protection of all the prepared compounds was shown by 6-(thiophen-2-ylmethylamino)-9-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)purine (6) and 2-chloro-6-furfurylamino-9-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)purine (9) derivatives and the results were comparable to Kin-THF. Compounds 6 and 9 were able to significantly protect human skin cells against UV radiation in vitro. Both the derivatives 6 and 9 showed higher protective activity in comparison to previously known structurally similar compounds Kin and Kin-THF. The obtained results are surprising due to the fact that the prepared compounds showed to be inactive in the ORAC assay which proved that the compounds did not act as direct antioxidants as they were unable to directly scavenge oxygen radicals.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of antimalarial activity of new derivatives of 2,4,6-s-triazine

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is an important enzyme for de novo synthesis of nucleotides in Plasmodium falciparum and it is essential for cell proliferation. DHFR is a well known antimalarial target for drugs like cycloguanil and pyrimethamine which target its inhibition for their pharmacological actions. However, the clinical efficacies of these antimalarial drugs have been compromising due to multiple mutations occurring in DHFR that lead to drug resistance. In this background, we have designed 22 s-triazine compounds using the best five parameters based 3D-QSAR model built by using genetic function approximation. In-silico designed compounds were further filtered to 6 compounds based upon their ADME properties, docking studies and predicted minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). Out of 6 compounds, 3 compounds were synthesized in good yield over 95% and characterized using IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. Parasitemia inhibition assay was used to evaluate the antimalarial activity of s-triazine compounds against 3D7 strain of P. falciparum. All the three compounds (7, 13 and 18) showed 30 times higher potency than cycloguanil (standard drug). It was observed that compound 18 was the most active while the compound 13 was the least active. On the closer inspection of physicochemical properties and SAR, it was observed that the presence of electron donating groups, number of hydrogen bond formation, lipophilicity of ligands and coulson charge of nitrogen atom present in the triazine ring enhances the DHFR inhibition significantly. This study will contribute to further endeavours of more potent DHFR inhibitors.

Characterization and inhibition studies of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase by aminoalkanol derivatives of 1,7-dimethyl-8,9-diphenyl-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene-3,5,10-trione, new competitive and non-competitive inhibitors, by capillary electrophoresis

The article describes the inhibitory effect of two new aminoalkanol derivatives on the enzymatic kinetic of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase with use of capillary zone electrophoresis to evaluate the inhibitory effect. This technique allows to investigate of the enzymatic kinetic by the measure of the amounts of the substrate and product in the presence of compound (I) or (II) in the reaction mixture. The separation process was conducted using an eCAP fused-silica capillary. The detector was set at 200nm. The best parameters for the analysis were: 25mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate adjusted to pH=2.5, temperature 25°C, and voltage −15kV. Lineweaver-Burk plots were constructed and determined by comparison of the Km, of alkaline phosphatase in the presence of inhibitor (I) or (II) with the Km in a solution without inhibitor. The influence of replacement the propylamine group by the dimethylamine group on tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase inhibition activity of new derivatives (I) and (II) was investigated. The tested compounds (I) and (II) were found to be tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase inhibitors. Detailed kinetic studies indicated a competitive mode of inhibition against tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase for compound (I) and non-competitive mode of inhibition for compound (II).

Combined molecular docking and QSAR study of fused heterocyclic herbicide inhibitors of D1 protein in photosystem II of plants.

Cinnoline, pyridine, pyrimidine, and triazine herbicides were found be inhibitors of the D1 protein in photosystem II (D1 PSII) electron transport of plants. The photosystem II inhibitory activity of these herbicides, expressed by experimental [Formula: see text] values, was modeled by a docking and quantitative structure-activity relationships study. A conformer ensemble for each of the herbicide structure was generated using the MMFF94s force field. These conformers were further employed in a docking approach, which provided new information about the rational "active conformations" and various interaction patterns of the herbicide derivatives with D1 PSII. The most "active conformers" from the docking study were used to calculate structural descriptors, which were further related to the inhibitory experimental [Formula: see text] values by multiple linear regression (MLR). The dataset was divided into training and test sets according to the partition around medoids approach, taking 27% of the compounds from the entire series for the test set. Variable selection was performed using the genetic algorithm, and several criteria were checked for model performance. WHIM and GETAWAY geometrical descriptors (position of substituents and moieties in the molecular space) were found to contribute to the herbicidal activity. The derived MLR model is statistically significant, shows very good stability and was used to predict the herbicidal activity of new derivatives having cinnoline, indeno[1.2-c]cinnoline-ll-one, triazolo[1,5-a] pyridine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, triazine and triazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidine scaffolds whose experimental inhibitory activity against D1 PSII had not been determined up to now.

Synthesis, structural study and biological activity of new derivatives of chrysin containing a 2-mercaptopyridyl or 5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-mercaptopyridyl fragments

New derivatives of chrysin containing 2-mercaptopyridine (2a–2e) or 5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-mercaptopyridine (3a–3e) moieties were prepared from the reaction between bromides (1a–1e) and 2-mercaptopyridine or 5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-mercaptopyridine, respectively. Their structures were elucidated by NMR, IR and elemental analysis. The molecular structure of compounds 1a, 1c–1e, 2b–2e and 3a was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. All rings in these structures are nearly coplanar and they showed an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the phenolic hydroxyl H atom and the carbonyl O atom that forms a six membered ring. The crystal packing also showed a wide variety of intermolecular contacts such as C–H⋯A, π–π, C–H⋯π and lone pair⋯π interactions which were supported by quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), Hirshfeld surface, and fingerprint plot analyses. Biological activity of all compounds was tested in growth assays of the nematode Caenorhabiditis elegans. Compounds 2e, 3b and 3c inhibited larval development.

Synthesis and anti-proliferative activities of new derivatives of embelin

Embelin (1), a benzoquinone isolated from Embelia ribes is known to possess variety of biological activities. Despite of several promising biological activities, preclinical efforts on embelin were hampered because of its poor aqueous solubility. In order to address the solubility issue, herein, we have synthesized a series of Mannich products of embelin by treating it with various secondary amines. The synthesized compounds were screened for antiproliferative and antimicrobial activities. In cytotoxicity screening, the benzyl-piperidine linked derivative 8m was found to possess better antiproliferative activity compared to parent natural product embelin against a panel of cell lines including HCT-116, MCF-7, MIAPaCa-2 and PC-3 with IC50 values of 30, 41, 34 and 36μM, respectively. The mechanistic study of compound 8m revealed that it exhibits cytotoxicity via induction of apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential loss. Further, the compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity where dimethylamino- 8a and piperidine linked derivative 8b displayed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values of 8 and 16μg/mL, respectively. Mannich derivatives did now show improved aqueous solubility, however their hydrochloride salts 8a·HCl, 8b·HCl and 8m·HCl showed significantly improved aqueous solubility without affecting biological activities of parent Mannich derivatives.

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of new derivatives containing the polycyclic system 5,7:7,13-dimethanopyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazolo[3′,4′:2,3]azepino[4,5-f]azocine

The reaction under reflux between 1-phenyl-3-R-5-methylaminopyrazoles and 2,5-hexanedione lead to 5,7:7,13-dimethanopyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazolo[3′,4′:2,3]azepino[4,5-f]azocine derivatives 3b–g. These unusual molecules show the structural complexity of many biologically active natural products and are endowed with the chemical diversity that is required in drug discovery. The compounds 3b,e were reduced by hydrogen in the presence of Palladium on activated charcoal to give the dihydro derivatives 5b,e. Compounds 3b–f and 5b,e were selected by the NCI to evaluate their in vitro antiproliferative activity against 60 human cell lines derived from nine clinically isolated cancer types (leukaemia, lung, colon, melanoma, renal, ovarian, brain, breast, and prostate). The most active compound of this series, caused a block in G0–G1 phase of cell cycle. Analysis of pRb expression showed that this compound favours pRb dephosphorylation.

Semisynthesis and Antifeedant Activity of New Derivatives of a Dihydro-β-Agarofuran from Parnassia wightiana

Five new derivatives (2–6) were semi-synthesized using compound 1, a dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpene with C-2 ketone obtained from Parnassia wightiana, as the starting material by acylation, oxidation, reduction, esterification, and amination, respectively. Structures of 2–6 were confirmed by 1D- and 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectra. In addition, antifeedant activities of these compounds (1–6) were tested against the 3rd-instar larvae of Mythimna separata. Antifeedant effects of compounds 2 and 4 were greater than the parent compound 1 whereas other compounds exhibited low to no feeding deterrent effects against third instar M. separata larvae in lab bioassays. Therefore, our results suggest that acylated and reduced derivatives at C-8 and C-2, respectively, of 1 may improve the antifeeding effect. This preliminary information will be useful in designing new insect control agents against M. separata and other important pests.
