Syntheses, Molecular Docking and Biological Evaluation of 2-(2- hydrazinyl)thiazoles as Potential Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory and Significant Anticancer Agents.

BACKGROUND: Recently, researchers have worked on the development of new methods for the synthesis of bioactive heterocycles using polyethylene glycol as a green solvent. In this context, we report the synthesized 2-(2-hydrazinyl) thiazoles for their in vitro antioxidant, in vitro anti-inflammatory and in vitro anti-cancer activities. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to develop novel antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drugs. METHODS: At the outset, the condensation of substituted acetophenones 1, thiosemicarbazide 2, and α-haloketones 3 was carried out using PEG-400 (20 mL) in the presence of 5 mol% glacial acetic acid to afford thiosemicarbazones intermediate. Furthermore, these thiosemicarbazones were reacted with α-haloketones 3 to obtain appropriate 2-(2-hydrazinyl) thiazoles. The synthesized compounds were in vitro tested for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activity. RESULTS: In vitro evaluation report showed that nearly all molecules possessed potential antioxidant activity against 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide radical (SOR) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) radical scavenging activity. Most 2-(2-hydrazinyl) thiazoles derivatives have shown potential anti-inflammatory activity as compared to diclofenac sodium as a reference standard. 2-(2-Hydrazinyl) thiazoles derivatives showed significant anticancer activity for human leukemia cell line K-562 compared to adriamycin as a reference standard. CONCLUSION: All tested compounds showed potential 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging activity. Among the tested series, 4b, 4d and 4e exhibited good hydrogen peroxide and 4b, 4e, 4f and 4g showed excellent superoxide radical scavenging activity. In addition, the 4b, 4e and 4g compounds revealed potent in vitro anti-inflammatory activity against standard diclofenac sodium drug. 2-(2-Hydrazinyl) thiazole derivatives, such as 4c and 4d, showed significant anticancer activity against human leukemia cell line K-562. Thus, these molecules provide an interesting template for the design and development of new antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer agents.

Synthesis of Asymmetric 1-Thiocarbamoyl Pyrazoles as Potent Anti- Colon Cancer, Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Agent.

BACKGROUND: Cancer is one of the leading diseases responsible for deaths in the society. According to the American cancer society, there will be 95,270 new cases of colon cancer in the U.S. in 2016. When a normal cell turns cancerous they develop into tumours, which produce various pro-inflammatory and inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that attract leukocytes to the site of growth. The main aim of this paper is to introduce readers about the increased number of cancer patient, effects of cancer and need of research on same. METHODS: The target molecules were prepared by reacting pyrazolealdehyde with appropriate aromatic ketone by using polyethylene glycol (PEG-300) as green solvent and catalyst to yield chalcone. Furthermore, the reaction of chalcones with thiosemicabazide yields asymmetric 1-thiocarbamoyl pyrazoles. All the newly synthesized compounds were in vitro screened for their anticancer activities against Colon SW-620 by employing the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay method. Also all the synthesized compounds tested for in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity by using known literature methods. RESULTS: Preliminary in vitro evaluation indicated that most of the compounds 4c, 4d and 4e possess distinct cytotoxicity profile against Colon SW-620 cell line compared to standard drug adriamycin. All the tested compounds showed good to excellent antioxidant activity against one or more reactive (H2O2, DPPH, SOR and NO) radical scavenging species. Additionally, all the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antiinflammatory activity. Compounds 4a, 4b and 4e shows potent anti-inflammatory activity as compared to diclofenac sodium as a standard reference. CONCLUSION: New anti- Colon SW-620 cancer agents are the need of time, we trust that 1-thiocarbamoyl pyrazole derivatives 4c, 4d and 4e constitute an interesting template for the evaluation of new anticancer agent also antioxidant and anti-inflammatory work may provide an interesting insight for further development.
