RESUMEN
A new one-pot approach for the synthesis of the Zn2+-sensitive probes 2-azahetaryl-2-(oxoindolin-2-ylidene)acetonitriles 3a-c and 4 is described. The method includes the in situ formation of imidoylchloride and its further condensation with azahetarylacetonitrile 1. The structure of the obtained compounds is studied using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, infrared (IR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. Two model ligands both exhibiting the highest extinction coefficient and the best solubility in a Tris buffer pH 7.2/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution, namely 5-methyl-benzothiazole derivative 3b and benzoxazole derivative 4, are thoroughly studied as colorimetric probes for Zn2+. The probe 3b has the highest sensitivity to Zn2+, showing a limit of ion detection (LOD) calculated by the 3S criterion of 0.43 µM and selectivity upon masking Cu2+ ions with Na2S2O3. The composition of the complexes in the solution was determined by the limited logarithm method. The stability constant (lgâ¯K) values of 3b-Zn of 10.27 ± 0.02 and 4-Zn of 12.5 ± 0.2 indicate the formation of complexes of average stability.
RESUMEN
4-Amino-3-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione derivatives were designed and synthesized as potential tyrosine kinase inhibitors. One of them has been shown to inhibit growth of cancer cell lines and in vivo tumors. To determine the impact of side groups on biological activity the ability of different 4-amino-3-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diones to interact with ATP-binding domains of growth factor receptors and with model cell membranes were aimed to be discovered. The methods of molecular docking, short-molecular dynamics (in silico) and non-steady cyclic current-voltage characteristics (in vitro) were used. Five 4-amino-3-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diones were synthesized from 3,4-dichloro-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diones. All of them demonstrated the potential ability to form complexes with ATP-binding domains of EGFR and VEGFR2. These complexes were more stable compared to those with ANP. 4-Amino-3-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diones while interact with different bilayer lipid membranes caused an increase of their specific conductance and electric capacity, demonstrating the certain disturbance in lipid packing. Obtained data allowed us to suggest that proposed chemicals can interact with the surface of lipid bilayer, do likely intercalate into the membrane and form stable complexes with EGFR and VEGFR2. So, the prospect of developed chemicals to be effective EGFR and VEGFR2 inhibitors and therefore realize antitumor activity was concluded.
