RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cancer is one of the most common reasons for mortality in the world. A continuous effort to develop effective anti-cancer drugs with minimum side effects has become necessary. The use of small-molecule drugs has revolutionized cancer research by inhibiting cancer cell survival and proliferation. Quinazolines are a class of bioactive heterocyclic compounds with active pharmacophores in several anti-cancer drugs. Such small molecule inhibitors obstruct the significant signals responsible for cancer cell development, thus blocking these cell signals to prevent cancer development and spread. OBJECTIVE: In the current study, novel quinazoline derivatives structurally similar to erlotinib were synthesized and explored as novel anti-cancer agents. METHODS: All the synthesized molecules were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques like 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and ESI-MS. Various techniques were applied to study the protein-drug interaction, DFT analysis, Hirshfeld surface, and target prediction. The molecules were screened in vitro for their anti-cancer properties against 60 human tumor cell lines. The growth inhibitory properties of a few compounds were studied against the MCF7 breast cancer cell line. RESULTS: The activity of compounds 9f, 9o, and 9s were found to be active. However, compound 9f is more active when compared with other compounds. CONCLUSION: Some synthesized compounds were active against different cancer cell lines. The in-vitro study results were found to be in agreement with the predictions from in-silico data. The selected molecules were further subjected to get the possible mechanism of action against different cancer cells.

Venetoclax is a potent BCL-2 inhibitor that is used for the treatment of several blood cancers. During the oxidative stress degradation of venetoclax, we observed the formation of two potential impurities at levels of about 8-10%, which have similar molecular weights. The two impurities were isolated and identified as 4-(3-((1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)oxy)-4-(((3-nitro-4-(((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl)amino)phenyl)sulfonyl)carbamoyl)phenyl)-1-((4'-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)methyl)piperazine 1-oxide (venetoclax N-oxide, VNO) and 2-((1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)oxy)-4-(4-((4'-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)methoxy)piperazin-1-yl)-N-((3-nitro-4-(((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl)amino)phenyl)sulfonyl)benzamide (venetoclax hydroxylamine impurity, VHA). To confirm these two compounds, we have synthesized each impurity individually and analyzed it by high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 2D NMR. VNO was synthesized by the oxidation of venetoclax using m-CPBA in dichloromethane to get the required N-oxide impurity. After the confirmation of the VNO impurity, the VNO impurity was heated with water at reflux in a sealed tube for 36 h to get the VHA impurity of about 6-8% after 36 h. After thorough analysis, it was confirmed that venetoclax N-oxide undergoes [1,2] Meisenheimer rearrangement to form the venetoclax hydroxylamine impurity. These two impurities may be relevant reference standards in manufacturing venetoclax Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) (or) tablets.
RESUMO
Baricitinib is a novel active pharmaceutical ingredient used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and it acts as an inhibitor of Janus kinase. During the synthesis of baricitinib, three unknown impurities were identified in several batches between 0.10 and 0.15% using high-performance liquid chromatography. The unknown compounds were isolated and identified as N-((3-(4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methyl)ethane sulfonamide (lactone impurity, BCL), 2-(3-(4-(7H-[4,7'-bipyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin]-4'-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1-(ethylsulfonyl)azetidin-3-yl)acetonitrile (dimer impurity, BCD), and 2-(1-(ethylsulfonyl)-3-(4-(7-(hydroxymethyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)azetidin-3-yl) acetonitrile (hydroxymethyl, BHM). These compounds were synthesized and confirmed against the isolated samples. The structures of all the three impurities were confirmed by extensive analysis of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry. The lactone impurity formation was explained by a plausible mechanism. The outcome of this study was very useful for scientists working in process as well as in formulation development. To synthesize highly pure baricitinib drug substance, these impurities can be used as reference standards due to their potential importance.
RESUMO
To evaluate the role of COX-2 and 5-LOX as dual inhibitors in controlling the cancer cell proliferation, a set of two series having 42 compounds of 1, 2, 3-Tethered Indole-3-glyoxamide derivatives were synthesized by employing click chemistry approach and were also evaluated for their in vitro cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitory activities with in vivo anti-inflammatory and in vitro anti-proliferative potencies. Among the compounds tested, compounds 11q and 13s displayed excellent inhibition of COX-2 (IC50 0.12⯵M) with good COX-2 selectivity index (COX-2/COX-1) of 0.058 and 0.046 respectively. Compounds 11q and 13s also demonstrated comparable 5-LOX inhibitory activity with IC50 7.73 and 7.43⯵M respectively to that of standard Norhihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA: IC50 7.31⯵M). Among all the selected cell lines, prostate cancer cell line DU145 was found to be susceptible to this class of compounds. Among all the tested compounds, compounds 11g, 11i, 11k, 11q, 13r, 13s and 13u demonstrated excellent to moderate anti-proliferative activity with IC50s ranging between 6.29 and 18.53⯵M. Compounds 11q and 11g demonstrated better anti-proliferative activities against DU145 cancer cell line with IC50 values 8.17 and 8.69⯵M respectively when compared to the standard drug etoposide (VP16; IC50 9.80⯵M). Compounds 11g, 11k, 11q, 13s and 13u showed good dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitory potentials with excellent anti-proliferative activity. Results from carrageenan-induced hind paw edema demonstrated that compounds 11b, 11l, 11q and 13q exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity with 69-77% inhibition at 3â¯h, 75-82% inhibition at 5â¯h when compared to the standard drug indomethacin (66.6% at 3â¯h and 77.94% at 5â¯h). Ulcerogenic study revealed that compounds 11q and 13q did not cause any gastric ulceration. In vitro tubulin assay resuted that compound 11q interfered with microtubulin dynamic and act as tubulin polymerization inhibitor. In silico molecular docking studies demonstrated that compounds 11q and 13s are occupying the colchicines binding site of tubulin polymer and 11q illustrated very good binding affinities towards COX-2 and 5-LOX.

Novel N-(1-(4-(dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-11-yl)piperazin-1-yl)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl derivatives were designed, synthesized and their chemical structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass spectra. The anticancer activities of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro against three human cancer cell lines including K562, Colo-205 and MDA-MB 231 by MTT assay. The screening results showed that five compounds (16b, 16d, 16i, 16p and 16q) exhibited potent cytotoxic activities with IC50 values between 20 and 40µM. Further in vitro studies revealed that inhibition of sirtuins could be the possible mechanism of action of these molecules.

In this study we examined the suitability of the 3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine ring system in developing novel anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents incorporating a diaryl pharmacophore. Eight 2,3-diaryl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives retrieved from our in-house database were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against nine cancer cell lines. The results indicated that the compounds showed moderate cytotoxic activity against MCF-7, MDA-MB-468, K562 and SaOS2 cells, with K562 being the most sensitive among the four cancer cell lines. The eight 2,3-diaryl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives were also evaluated for their COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory activity in vitro. The results showed that compound 3f exhibited 2-fold selectivity with IC50 values of 9.2 and 21.8 µmol/L against COX-2 and COX-1, respectively. Molecular docking studies on the most active compound 3f revealed a binding mode similar to that of celecoxib in the active site of the COX-2 enzyme.
RESUMO
New hydrazone incorporated triazines were designed and synthesized using an appropriate synthetic route with regard to essential pharmacophores, and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity through maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure (scPTZ) screenings. Among the tested compounds, 4-[{2-(5-(3-chlorobenzyl)-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine-6-yl)hydrazono}methyl]-N,N-dimethylaniline 6k (MES ED50 54.31, scPTZ ED50 92.01) and 4-[{2-(5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine-6-yl)hydrazono}methyl]-N,N-dimethylaniline 6r (MES ED50 46.05, scPTZ ED50 83.90) emerged as the most active anticonvulsant agents having GABAergic effects. Compounds 6k and 6r also showed lesser CNS depressant effect than the standard drug carbamazepine. To obtain further insights into the binding interactions of these molecules, molecular docking studies were carried out.

A series of benzfused heterocyclic derivatives such as amide conjugates of 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylthio)acetic acid with aromatic/aliphatic/cyclic secondary amines (5a-5o & 8a-8m); 1,2,3-triazole conjugates of 2-mercaptobenzothiazoles and amide conjugates of indole-3-glyoxalic acid with cyclic secondary amines (14a-14g) have been synthesized and were screened for their antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain by broth microdilution assay method. Compounds 8b, 8f, 8g and 8l inhibited the growth of the H37Rv strain at concentrations of 8 µg/mL. These compounds (8b, 8f, 8g and 8l) have been further identified as bactericidal and are completely killing the microbes at 32-64 µg/mL concentrations. Molecular docking studies of the active compounds reveal that these compounds are targeting DprE1 and may act as DprE1 inhibitors.

Nature has been a provenance of medicinal agents for thousands of years. Resveratrol (RESL) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound in food stuffs such as peanuts, seeds, berries, grapes, and beverages (red wine). RESL has received significant attention due to a plethora of in vitro and in vivo reports on its cancer chemopreventive and therapeutic properties. In the present study, diacetate RESL derivative (RESL43) was synthesized. The RESL43 displayed potent cytotoxicity and triggered apoptosis in U937 cells as evidenced by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage, DNA fragmentation, morphological changes, and activation of FasR and FasL genes. The electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed the suppression NFkB activity in U937 cells after treatment with RESL43 in corroboration with the deactivation of NFkB dependent genes such as IL-8, TNFR, and TNFα. Furthermore, molecular docking and dynamics studies have shown that RESL and RESL43 might exert their inhibitory activity on NFkB by altering the intramolecular binding abilities between DNA and NFkB. Taken together, RESL43 can have greater putative activity than parental RESL in a context of cancer chemoprevention and therapeutics. We suggest that the diacetate resveratrol derivative RESL43 warrants further evaluation in preclinical and clinical bridging studies in the near future.

Resveratrol (RVS) is a naturally occurring antioxidant, able to display an array of biological activities. In the present investigation, a new derivative of RVS, RVS(a), was synthesized, and its biological activity was determined on U937 cells. It was observed that RVS(a) showed pronounced activity on U937 cells than RVS. RVS(a) is able to induce apoptosis in tumor cell lines through subsequent DNA fragmentation. From the EMSA results, it was evident that RVS(a) was able to suppress the activity of NFkB by interfering its DNA binding ability. Furthermore, the molecular interaction analysis (docking and dynamics) stated that RVS(a) has strong association with the IkB-alpha site of NFkB compared with RVS; this binding nature of RVS(a) might be prevent the NFkB binding ability with DNA. The present findings represent the potential activity of propynyl RVS on U937 cells and signifying it as a one of putative chemotherapeutic drugs against cancer.

Resveratrol has been shown to be active in inhibiting multistage carcinogenesis. The potential use of resveratrol in cancer chemoprevention or chemotherapy settings has been hindered by its short half-life and low bioavailability. Considering the above remarks, using resveratrol as a prototype, we have synthesized two derivatives of resveratrol. Their activity was evaluated using in vitro and in silico analysis. Biological evaluation of resveratrol analogues on U937 cells had shown that two synthesized analogues of resveratrol had higher rates of inhibition than the parental molecule at 10µM concentration. EMSA conducted for NF-kB revealed that these molecules significantly interfered in the DNA binding ability of NF-kB. It was found that these molecules suppressed the expression of TNFα, TNFR, IL-8, actin and activated the expression of FasL, FasR genes. To understand possible molecular mechanism of the action we performed docking and dynamic studies, using NF-kB as a receptor. Results showed that resveratrol, RA1 and RA2 interacted with the residues involved in DNA binding. Resveratrol analogues by interacting NF-kB might have prevented its translocation and also by interacting with the residues involved in DNA binding might have prevented the binding of NF-kB to DNA. This may be the reason for suppression of NF-kB binding to DNA.

The Bcl-2 family proteins include pro- and antiapoptotic factors acting as critical arbiters of apoptotic cell death decisions in most circumstances. Evasion of apoptosis is one of the hallmarks of cancer, relevant to tumorigenesis as well as resistance to cytotoxic drugs, and deregulation of Bcl-2 proteins was observed in many cancers. Since Bax-mediated induction of apoptosis is a crucial mechanism in cancerous cells, we aimed at conducting in silico analysis on Bax in order to predict the possible interactions for anticancer agents. The present report depicts the binding mode of aloe-emodin and its structurally modified derivatives onto Bax. The structural information about the binding site of Bax for docked compounds obtained from this study could aid in screening and designing new anticancer agents or selective inhibitors for chemotherapy against Bax.
RESUMO
A series of pyrazolo[4,3-c]cinnoline derivatives was synthesized, characterized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity. Test compounds that exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity were further screened for their ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation activity. Compounds 4d and 4l showed promising anti-inflammatory activity with reduced ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation activity when compared to naproxen. Docking results of these two compounds with COX-2 (PDB ID: 1CX2) also exhibited a strong binding profile. Among the test derivatives, compound 4i displayed significant antibacterial property against gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. However, compound 4b emerged as the best dual anti-inflammatory-antibacterial agent in the present study.

A convenient and practical methodology for the synthesis of 2-aryl quinazolin-4(3H)-ones by the condensation of o-aminobenzamides with aromatic aldehydes under mild conditions using catalytic InCl(3) with good yields and high selectivities. This method has been extended for the synthesis of 5-aryl pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-ones which have potential applications in medicinal chemistry. Many of these compounds were evaluated for their anti-proliferative properties in vitro against four cancer cell lines and several compounds were found to be active. Further in vitro studies indicated that inhibition of sirtuins could be the possible mechanism of action of these molecules.

Molecular iodine facilitated the reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione with aromatic aldehydes in iso-propanol affording a variety of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes in high yields. Most of the compounds synthesized showed good anti-proliferative properties in vitro against three cancer cell lines and 9-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-3,4,5,6,7,9-hexahydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione possessing a 2-hydroxy phenyl group at C-9 position was found to be promising. Further structure elaboration of the same compound and the crystal structure analysis and hydrogen bonding patterns of another compound that is, 9-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-3,4,5,6,7,9-hexahydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione prepared by using this methodology is presented.
