RESUMO
The quantitative NMR (qNMR) spectroscopy is nowadays a new tool for the determination of pharmaceutical potent biologically active molecules in bulk drug and its tablet formulation than the other analytical techniques. Herein, qNMR method was developed for an anti-hypertensive drug, telmisartan in bulk drug and its tablet formulation. The precise method was developed by using malononitrile as an internal standard. The methylene signal of telmisartan appeared at δ = 5.46 ppm (singlet) relative to the signal of malononitrile at δ = 3.59 ppm (singlet) in CDCl3 , as an NMR solvent. The development and validation of the method were carried out as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The method was found to be linear (r2 = 0.9999) for 0.5 to 3.5 mg/ml in the drug concentration range. The relative standard deviation for accuracy and precession was not more than 2.0%. The sensitivity of the method was carried out by limit of detection and a limit of quantification, at 0.05 and 0.2 mg/ml, respectively, concentration. The robustness of the method was studied by changing parameters as well as different solvent manufacturer company. The result shows that method was accurately developed for quantification of telmisartan in pharmaceutical dosage form. The developed method by 1 H NMR spectroscopy is comparatively easy and more precise with respect to the other analytical tools. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Hesperidin is flavonoid molecule found in citrus fruits (Citrus reticulata), especially difficult to extract, classify and characterize. Present work is to study the unresolved relative configuration of Hesperidin through the dihedral angle, coupling constant and different NMR techniques. The Karplus equation and its modifications have been originated from the valence bond theory and associated with dihedral angle and coupling constant. The result data set of calculated dihedral angle can probe significant method to assign the virtual configuration of natural products and also resolved stereochemistry of Hesperidin at C-2 position in.

Non-conventional heating techniques, high-throughput microwave-assisted synthesis and continuous flow penetrate almost every scientific field. Mitsunobu coupling is a ubiquitous choice for the dehydrative redox condensation of primary or secondary alcohols with (pro)nucleophiles. The aim of this review is to showcase the ease of subtle Mitsunobu coupling under super-heating. Surprisingly, this strategy is rather non-trivial; considering the sensitivity of reagents, Mitsunobu chemistry is typically performed at lower temperatures or under ambient conditions. In view of the absence of any previous work focusing on this topic, the current review considers the utility of super-heating in fragile Mitsunobu reactions. Therefore, we anticipate that this review will also bridge some of the apparent gaps in the extant literature by specifically describing the advances made by non-conventional heating assisted by microwave or continuous flow in one of the most powerful stereochemical transformations.

A microwave-assisted protocol was developed for the construction of 2-amino-1H-imidazole/triazole conjugates starting from the previously described 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ium salts. The process involves a one-pot hydrazinolysis/Dimroth-rearrangement of these salts followed by a ligand-free copper nanoparticle-catalyzed azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition. The 2-amino-1H-imidazole/triazole conjugates showed moderate to high preventive activity against biofilms of S. Typhimurium, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. The most active compounds had BIC50 values between 1.3 and 8 µM. A remarkable finding was that introduction of the triazole moiety into the side chain of 2-aminoimidazoles with a long (C8-C13) 2N-alkyl chain did drastically improve their activity. Conclusively, the 2-amino-1H-imidazole/triazole scaffold provides a lead structure for further design and development of novel biofilm inhibitors.

In continuation with our previous work in anti-TB research area, in the present study we have demonstrated the structural diversity of quinolylhydrazides as potent anti-tuberculars. The compound library was synthesized by molecular hybridization approach and tested in vitro against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains. Among the designed conjugates, the most promising molecules were found to exhibit 100% Growth Inhibition (GI) at MIC <6.25 µg/mL. Moreover, several analogs in the designed series were also turned out as excellent anti-tuberculars. To probe the structural characteristics influencing on the SAR, the classification model was generated using a binary QSAR approach termed recursive partitioning (RP) analysis. The significant features outlined by the RP model act as a guide in order to design the 'lead' compound.

A simple, rapid, and reliable ultra-performance LC assay method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of orally administered hypertension drugs (atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide, amlodipine besylate, indapamide, nifedipine, and lercanidipine hydrochloride), any of which may be administered with atenolol in combined hypertension therapy. Chromatography was carried out at 25 degrees C on a 2.1 x 50 mm id, 1.7 microm particle size Acquity BEH C18 column with the isocratic mobile phase 0.01 M, 4.0 pH aqueous phosphate buffer-acetonitrile (50 + 50, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.35 mL/min. All drugs were separated in less than 4 min with good resolution and minimal tailing, without interference by excipients. The method was validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines, and the acceptance criteria for accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, and system suitability were met in all cases. The column effluent was monitored at 230 nm. The detector response was linear in the range of 1-20 microg/mL of these drugs. LOD obtained was 0.04 microg/mL for atenolol, 0.02 microg/mL for hydrochlorothiazide, 0.03 microg/mL for amlodipine besylate, 0.03 microg/mL for indapamide, 0.02 microg.mL for nifedipine, and 0.01 microg/mL for lercanidipine hydrochloride. The suggested method has the advantage that all the drugs can be quantified alone or in combination with atenolol using a single mobile phase.

P-glycoprotein (Pgp), an ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter, is an ATP-dependent efflux pump responsible for cancer multidrug resistance. As part of efforts to identify human Pgp (hPgp) inhibitors, we prepared a series of novel triazole-conjugated dihydropyrimidinones using a synthetic approach that is well suited for obtaining compound libraries. Several of these dihydropyrimidinone derivatives modulate human P-glycoprotein (hPgp) activity with low micromolar EC50 values. Molecular docking studies suggest that these compounds bind to the M-site of the transporter.
RESUMO
A library of 1,4-dihydropyridine-based 1,2,3-triazol derivatives has been designed, synthesized, and evaluated their cytotoxic potential on colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cell lines. All compounds were characterized and identified based on their 1H and 13C NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopic data. Furthermore, molecular docking of best anticancer hits with target proteins (protein kinase CK2α, tankyrase1, and tankyrase2) has been performed. Our results implicated that most of these compounds have significant antiproliferative activity with IC50 values between 0.63 ± 0.05 and 5.68 ± 0.14 µM. Moreover, the mechanism of action of most active compounds 13ab' and 13ad' suggested that they induce cell death through apoptosis in the late apoptotic phase as well as dead phase, and they could promote cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Furthermore, the molecular docking study illustrated that 13ad' possesses better binding interaction with the catalytic residues of target proteins involved in cell proliferation and antiapoptotic pathways. Based on our in vitro and in silico study, 13ad' was found to be a highly effective anti-cancerous compound. The present data indicate that dihydropyridine-linked 1,2,3-triazole conjugates can be generated as potent anticancer agents.
RESUMO
Control and prevention of tuberculosis is a major challenge, as one-third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The resurgence of tuberculosis and the emergence of multidrug-resistance strains of mycobacteria, necessitate the search for new class of antimycobacterial agents. As a part of investigation of new antitubercular agents in this laboratory, we describe the syntheses of various hydrazides of comarins, quinolones and pyrroles and screening against M. tuberculosis (Mtb) H37(Rv) by using rifampin as a standard drug. Among the designed molecules, the most prominent compounds 2a-g, 4a and 9a showed >90% GI at MIC<6.25 µg/mL. Finally, these studies suggests that compounds 2a-g, 4a and 9a may serve as promising lead scaffolds for further generation of new anti-TB agents.

A series of novel water-soluble N-mustard-benzene conjugates bearing a urea linker were synthesized. The benzene moiety contains various hydrophilic side chains are linked to the meta- or para-position of the urea linker via a carboxamide or an ether linkage. The preliminary antitumor studies revealed that these agents exhibited potent cytotoxicity in vitro and therapeutic efficacy against human tumor xenografts in vivo. Remarkably, complete tumor remission in nude mice bearing human breast carcinoma MX-1 xenograft and significant suppression against prostate adenocarcinoma PC3 xenograft were achieved by treating with compound 9aa' at the maximum tolerable dose with relatively low toxicity. We also demonstrate that the newly synthesized compounds are able to induce DNA cross-linking through alkaline agarose gel shift assay. A pharmacokinetic profile of the representative 9aa' in rats was also investigated. The current studies suggest that this agent is a promising candidate for preclinical studies.

A library of 80 1-substituted 2-hydroxy-2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts and 54 2N-substituted 4(5)-aryl-2-amino-1H-imidazoles was synthesized and tested for the antagonistic effect against biofilm formation by Salmonella Typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The nature of the substituent at the 1-position of the salts was found to have a major effect on their biofilm inhibitory activity. Salts with an intermediate length n-alkyl or cyclo-alkyl chain (C7-C10) substituted at the 1-position in general prevented the biofilm formation of both species at low micromolar concentrations, while salts with a shorter n-alkyl or cyclo-alkyl chain (C1-C5) or longer n-alkyl chain (C11-C14) were much less potent. Salts with a long cyclo-alkyl chain however were found to be strong biofilm inhibitors. Furthermore, we demonstrated the biofilm inhibitory potential of salts with certain aromatic substituents at the 1-position, such as piperonyl or 3-methoxyphenetyl. The activity of the 2-aminomidazoles was found to be dependent on the nature of the 2N-substituent. Compounds with a n-butyl, iso-butyl, n-pentyl, cyclo-pentyl or n-hexyl chain at the 2N-position have an improved activity as compared to their unsubstituted counterparts, whereas compounds with shorter 2N-alkyl chains do have a reduced activity and compounds with longer 2N-alkyl chains do have an effect that is dependent on the nature of the substitution pattern of the 4(5)-phenyl ring. Finally, we demonstrated that introduction of a 3-methoxyphenethyl or piperonyl group at the 2N-position of the imidazoles could also result in an enhanced biofilm inhibition.

A series of N-mustard-quinazoline conjugates was synthesized and subjected to antitumor studies. The N-mustard pharmacophore was attached at the C-6 of the 4-anilinoquinazolines via a urea linker. To study the structure-activity relationships of these conjugates, various substituents were introduced to the C-4 anilino moiety. The preliminary antitumor studies revealed that these agents exhibited significant antitumor activity in inhibiting various human tumor cell growths in vitro. Compounds 21b, 21g, and 21h were selected for further antitumor activity evaluation against human breast carcinoma MX-1 and prostate PC-3 xenograft in animal model. These agents showed 54-75% tumor suppression with low toxicity (5-7% body-weight changes). We also demonstrate that the newly synthesized compounds are able to induce DNA cross-linking through alkaline agarose gel shift assay and inhibited cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase.

A series of linear pyrrolo[1,2-b]isoquinoline derivatives was synthesized for antitumor evaluation. The preliminary antitumor studies reveal that both bis(hydroxymethyl) and their bis(alkylcarbamate) derivatives show significant antitumor activity in inhibiting various human tumor cell growth in vitro. 1,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-3-methyl-5,10-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isoquinoline (20a) was selected for antitumor studies in animal models. The results show that this agent can induce complete tumor remission or significant suppression in nude mice bearing human breast (MX-1) xenograft and ovarian (SK-OV-3) xenografts, respectively. Alkaline agarose gel shifting assay showed that 20a is able to cross-link with DNA. Studies on the cell cycle inhibition revealed that this agent induces cell arrest at G2/M phase. The results warrant further antitumor investigation against other human tumor growth in animal models.

Pyrazole derivatives are known to be as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Celecoxib is the pioneer sulfonamide being pyrazole derivative COX-2 inhibitors, which used to treat pain and inflammation; they may also have a role in cancer prevention. In the present investigation, a series of arylidene analogues (NDP-4011 to NDP-4016) were synthesized by the condensation of 4-(3-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) benzenesulfonamide (I) with various substituted aromatic aldehydes in ethanol using a catalytic amount of piperidine. All the synthesized compounds were well characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectrometry. The cytotoxicity of synthesized compounds was tested on the NRK-52E cell line. From which NDP-4011, NDP-4012, NDP-4013, NDP-1015 and NDP-4016 were found to have higher cytotoxicity whereas NDP-4014 showed less cytotoxicity compared to Celecoxib. The in silico pharmacokinetic parameters of compounds were evaluated to check their candidature as a drug. Molecular docking was carried out on COX-2 structures, which revealed that NDP-4011 to NDP-4016 targets allosteric binding site similar to the binding mode of the selective COX inhibitor Celecoxib. Furthermore, results of in vitro COX-2 inhibition assay supports arylidene analogues as COX-2 inhibitors.

A series of N-mustard-quinoline conjugates bearing a urea or hydrazinecarboxamide linker was synthesized for antitumor evaluation. The in vitro cytotoxicity studies revealed that compounds with hydrazinecarboxamide linkers were generally more cytotoxic than the corresponding urea counterparts in inhibiting human lymphoblastic leukemia and various solid tumor cell growths in culture. The therapeutic efficacy against human tumor xenografts in animal model was studied. It was shown that complete tumor remission in nude mice bearing human breast carcinoma MX-1 xenograft by 17a, i and 18c, d was achieved. In the present study, it was revealed that both linkers are able to lower the chemically reactive N-mustard pharmacophore and thus the newly synthesized conjugates possess a long half-life in rat plasma. Moreover, the new N-mustard derivatives are able to induce DNA cross-linking either by modified comet assay or by alkaline agarose gel shift assay.

In continuation of our research program on new antitubercular agents, this article is a report of the synthesis of 97 various symmetrical, unsymmetrical, and N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines. The synthesized molecules were tested for their activity against M. tuberculosis H (37)Rv strain with rifampin as the standard drug. The percentage inhibition was found in the range 3-93%. In an effort to understand the relationship between structure and activity, 3D-QSAR studies were also carried out on a subset that is representative of the molecules synthesized. For the generation of the QSAR models, a training set of 35 diverse molecules representing the synthesized molecules was utilized. The molecules were aligned using the atom-fit technique. The CoMFA and CoMSIA models generated on the molecules aligned by the atom-fit method show a correlation coefficient (r (2)) of 0.98 and 0.95 with cross-validated r (2)(q (2)) of 0.56 and 0.62, respectively. The 3D-QSAR models were externally validated against a test set of 19 molecules (aligned previously with the training set) for which the predictive r(2)(r(r)(pred)) is recorded as 0.74 and 0.69 for the CoMFA and CoMSIA models, respectively. The models were checked for chance correlation through y-scrambling. The QSAR models revealed the importance of the conformational flexibility of the substituents in antitubercular activity.
