RESUMO
A library of novel flavonoid derivatives with diverse heterocyclic groups was designed and efficiently synthesized. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds 4a-i and 8a-l have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Anticancer activities were evaluated against MCF-7, A549, HepG2 and MCF-10A by MTT based assay. Compared with the positive control Adriamycin, compounds 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 8d, 8e and 8j were found to be most active anti-proliferative compounds against human cancer cell line. We found that compounds 4a and 4c exhibited inhibition of enzyme topoisomerase II with IC50 values 10.28 and 12.38 µM, respectively. In silico docking study of synthesized compounds showed that compounds 4a and 4c have good binding affinity toward topoisomerase IIα enzyme and have placed in between DNA base pair at active site of enzyme. In silico ADME prediction results that flavonoid coumarin analogues 4a-i could be exploited as an oral drug candidate.

An economic, sustainable, and straightforward environmentally friendly synthesis of highly diversified polyfunctional dihydrothiophenes is successfully achieved via diisopropyl ethyl ammonium acetate as a room-temperature ionic liquid. Multicomponent synthesis contains domino processes; the benefit of this present protocol is highlighted by its readily available starting materials, superior functional group tolerance, purity of synthesized compounds was checked by high-performance liquid chromatography results in up to 99.7% purity for the synthesized compounds, reaction mass efficiency, effective mass yield, and excellent atom economy. In addition, a series of 2-(N-carbamoyl acetamide)-substituted 2,3-dihydrothiophene analogs were synthesized, and selected samples were chosen for testing their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. Furthermore, a molecular docking study against sterol 14α-demethylase could provide valuable insight into the mechanism of antifungal action providing an opportunity for structure-based lead optimization.
RESUMO
In search of new active molecules against MCF-7, A549 and HepG2, tetrazole based pyrazoline and isoxazoline derivatives under both conventional and ultrasonic irradiation method were designed and efficiently synthesized. Structures of newly synthesized compounds 5a-h and 6a-h were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Several derivatives were found to be excellent cytotoxic against MCF-7, A549 and HepG2 cell lines characterized by lower IC50 values (0.78-3.12 µg/mL). Compounds 5b and 5c demonstrated an antiproliferative effect comparable to that of CA-4. Western blot analysis revealed that, reported compounds accumulate more tubulin in the soluble fraction. Docking studies suggested that, binding of these compounds mimics at the colchicine site of tubulin. In vitro study revealed that the tetrazole based pyrazolines and isoxazolines may possess ideal structural requirements for further development of novel therapeutic agents.
