Design and synthesis of isatin derivatives as effective SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors.

SARS-CoV-2 chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease (3CLpro ) is one of the most widely developed drug targets for COVID-19. This study aimed to design and synthesize isatin derivatives to target SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro in a covalent binding manner. Through the process, a potent 3CLpro inhibitor (5g) was discovered with an IC50 value of 0.43 ± 0.17 μM. To understand the binding affinity and specificity of 5g as a candidate inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro , several assays were conducted, including FRET enzyme activity assays, thermodynamic-based and kinetic-based validation of inhibitor-target interactions, and cell-based FlipGFP assays. The interaction mechanism between 3CLpro -5g was characterized by docking. Overall, these findings suggest that 5g is a new potent SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro inhibitor for the treatment of COVID-19.

Tackling Microbial Resistance with Isatin-Decorated Thiazole Derivatives: Design, Synthesis, and in vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity.

IntroductionAntibiotic resistance is a global threat that has been increasing recently, especially with antibiotic overuse and misuse. The search for new antibiotics is becoming more and more indispensable.MethodsDesign and synthesis of isatin derivatives as surrogates of SB-239629, a bacterial tyrosine-tRNA synthetases (TyrRS) inhibitor. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities. Docking studies were used to investigate potential binding modes of these compounds with TyrRS.Results and DiscussionNewly synthesized isatin-decorated thiazole derivatives (7b, 7d, and 14b) have shown potent antimicrobial activities against E. coli, a representative of gram-negative bacteria. Also, 7f showed the best activity against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In addition, 7h and 11f were found to have antifungal activities against Candida albicans equivalent to that of the reference Nystatin. All the new isatin derivatives with antimicrobial activities were found to exhibit strong biofilm distortion effects at half their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). Moreover, thiazole derivatives 11a-f showed promising biofilm formation inhibition. Finally, molecular docking studies were used to investigate possible binding modes of target compounds with S. aureus and E. coli TyrRS.ConclusionThe novel isatin-decorated thiazole derivatives show strong antimicrobial and antifungal activities with potential action on TyrRS.

Synthesis of Isatin Derivatives Using Silver Nanoparticles as Green Catalyst: Study of Molecular Docking Interactions in SARS-CoV-2 3c-Like Protease and Determination of Cytotoxic Activities of the Compounds

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). As isatin-containing compounds exhibit several remarkable biological activities, isatin derivatives were prepared to combat the global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 that is gripping the world. Herein, the synthesis of novel isatin derivatives has been reported. The cytotoxic activities of the compounds were determined using cancer cell (MCF-7) and normal cell (MCF-10A and MRC-5) lines. In silico molecular docking experiments were conducted using AutoDock Vina. We have successfully predicted the binding energies and the number of hydrogen bonds present. We have also identified the residues involved in hydrogen bond formation. The target compounds were synthesized using Schiff base following cyclization and Knoevenagel condensation reactions. We have focused on the recyclable synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the extracts obtained from Dipteryx odorata. The extracts were used to reduce silver ions for the production of AgNPs. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibited excellent catalytic activities during the synthesis of isatin derivatives in ethanol. The formation of the target isatin derivatives has been confirmed using the Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis techniques. Compound 3e was found to be the most active compound when tested against the MCF-7 cancer cell line (IC50=20.5 μM). The activity was comparable to the activities of standard doxorubicin and other compounds. In silico molecular docking experiments were conducted to study the spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 (PDB ID: 6LU7). Compound 3c exhibited high binding ability (−9.4 kcal/mol). The inhibition ability was studied using hydroxychloroquine as a standard. Results from docking studies revealed that the inhibition ability of compound 3c was higher than the inhibition abilities exhibited by other compounds. The synthesized compound 3e is a potential antiviral drug that can be used for treating the COVID-19 disease.

A Review an Isatin, Isatin Derivatives and their Pharmacological Activity

Isatin or 1H-indole-2, 3-dione is an indole derivative. Isatin is an important class of heterocyclic compounds.

Synthesis of isatin derivatives under metal free conditions using hypervalent iodine

Hypervalent iodine(III)/TEMPO-mediated C(sp3), C(sp2) C–H bond oxidation of different oxindole and indole derivatives to their corresponding isatin derivatives was successfully achieved with excellent yields at room temperature. This metal-free method provides a direct access to potential synthon isatin that could be applied in the total synthesis of several biologically active natural products.
