RESUMEN

The target mono- and bis-(6-pyrazolyltriazolo-thiadiazine) derivatives 4a-c and 6a-d were synthesized using a straightforward protocol via reaction of 3-bromoacetylpyrazole 2 with 4-amino-s-triazole-3-thiols 3a-c and bis(4-amino-5-mercapto-s-triazol-3-yl)alkanes 5a-d, respectively. The bis(6-pyrazolyl-s-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine) derivatives 8a,b and 10 were also constructed by reaction of the triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine-3-thiol 4c with the proper dibromo compounds 7a,b and 9, respectively. Structures of the new substances were determined by spectroscopic and analytical data. Compounds 4b, 4c, and 6a showed potent cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (IC50 = 3.16, 2.74, and 0.39 µM, respectively) and were safe against the MCF-10A cells. Compounds 4b, 4c, and 6a also showed promising dual EGFR and CDK-2 inhibition activities, particularly 6a was the most effective (IC50 = 19.6 and 87.9 nM, respectively), better than Erlotinib and Roscovitine. Compound 6a treatment induced EGFR and CDK-2 enzyme inhibition by 97.18% and 94.11%, respectively, at 10 µM (the highest concentration). Compound 6a notably induced cell apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, increasing the cell population by total apoptosis 43.3% compared to 1.29% for the untreated control group, increasing the cell population at the S-phase by 39.2% compared to 18.6% (control).

RESUMEN

The reaction of 3-oxo-2-arylhydrazonopropanals with acetoacetanilide in an equimolar ratio, under DBU/1,4-dioxane/microwave irradiation reaction conditions, resulted in chemoselective formation of 4-arylazo-5-hydroxy-benzamide derivatives. The structures of the obtained biphenyl-4-carboxamides were characterized by several spectroscopic techniques including IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, MS and HRMS, and X-ray single crystals of three examples. The photophysical properties of the new products were also evaluated, with a particular focus on their absorption and emission spectra, which provided valuable information regarding their optical properties. The new compounds emitted 513-549 nm green fluorescence in acetone solution under UV irradiation.

RESUMEN

3-Bromoacetyl-4-(2-naphthoyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (6) was synthesized from 2-acetylnaphthalene and was used as a new key building block for constructing the title targets. Thus, the reaction of 6 with the thiosemicarbazones 7a-d and 9-11 afforded the corresponding simple naphthoyl-(3-pyrazolyl)thiazole hybrids 8a-d and 12 ~ 14. The symmetric bis-(2-naphthoyl-pyrazol-3-yl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenoxy)alkanes 18a-c and 21a-c were similarly synthesized from reaction of 6 with the appropriate bis-thiosemicarbazones 17a-c and 19a-c, respectively. The synthesized two series of simple and symmetrical bis-molecular hybrid merging naphthalene, thiazole, and pyrazole were evaluated for their cytotoxicity. Compounds 18b,c and 21a showed the most potent cytotoxicity (IC50 = 0.97-3.57 µM) compared to Lapatinib (IC50 = 7.45 µM). Additionally, they were safe (non-cytotoxic) against the THLE2 cells with higher IC50 values. Compounds 18c exhibited promising EGFR and HER-2 inhibitory activities with IC50 = 4.98 and 9.85 nM, respectively, compared to Lapatinib (IC50 = 6.1 and 17.2 nM). Apoptosis investigation revealed that 18c significantly activated apoptotic cell death in HepG2 cells, increasing the death rate by 63.6-fold and arresting cell proliferation at the S-phase. Compound 18c upregulated P53 by 8.6-fold, Bax by 8.9-fold, caspase-3,8,9 by 9, 2.3, and 7.6-fold, while it inhibited the Bcl-2 expression by 0.34-fold. Thereby, compound 18c exhibited promising cytotoxicity against EGFR/HER2 inhibition against liver cancer.

RESUMEN

Benzofuran moiety is the main component of many biologically active natural and synthetic heterocycles. These heterocycles have unique therapeutic potentials and are involved in various clinical drugs. The reported results confirmed the extraordinary inhibitory potency of such benzofurans against a panel of human cancer cell lines compared with a wide array of reference anticancer drugs. Several publications about the anticancer potencies of benzofuran-based heterocycles were encountered. The recent developments of anticancer activities of both natural and synthetic benzofuran scaffolds during 2019-2022 are thoroughly covered. Many of the described benzofurans are promising candidates for development as anticancer agents based on their outstanding inhibitory potency against a panel of human cancer cells compared with reference anticancer drugs. These findings encourage medicinal chemists to explore new areas to improve human health and reduce suffering.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Some heterocycles having bisamide linkage are receiving much interest due to their remarkable biological potencies and they are naturally occurring. Some bisamides and thiazole derivatives were found to inhibit the protein levels of Bcl-2 significantly. This prompted us to synthesize new bis(heterocyclic) derivatives having bisamide function to explore their anti-cancer activities. METHODS: Novel bis-amide-based bis-thiazoles and thiadiazoles were synthesized by reaction of a new bisthiosemicarbazone with a variety of hydrazonoyl chlorides, a-chloroacetylacetone and haloacetic acid derivatives. Most of the synthesized derivatives were tested for colorectal (HCT-116) and breast (MCF-7) cell lines using the MTT assay, with the apoptotic investigation through flow cytometric and RT-PCR analyses. RESULTS: Some derivatives were found to be highly cytotoxic against HCT-116 cells with an IC50 range of (10.44-13.76 µM) compared to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (IC50 = 11.78 µM). One product significantly stimulated apoptotic colorectal cancer cell death by 27.24-fold (50.13% compared to control 1.84%) by arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. The obtained results revealed that compound 7f was more cytotoxic against HCT-116 cells than 5-FU. Compound 7f remarkably enhanced apoptotic colorectal cancer cell death and upregulated the propapoptotic genes (P53, BAX and Capases-3,-8,-9) and downregulated the anti-apoptotic gene, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2). In vivo study exhibited that 7f-treatment caused tumor inhibition ratio (TIR%) of 50.45% compared to 54.86% in the 5-FU treatment, with a significant reduction in tumor mass and volume. The anti-tumor activity of compound 7f was accompanied by ameliorated hematological and biochemical analyses, histopathological improvement in treated liver tissues, and the immunohistochemical staining revealed Bcl-2 inhibition in agreement with the in vitro results. CONCLUSION: Compound 7f is an interesting candidate for further development as a chemotherapeutic anti-cancer agent.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The benzofuran moiety constitutes a main component of enormous biologically active natural and synthetic heterocycles. Such heterocycles have distinctive therapeutic potential and are employed in various clinical drugs. A number of publications have dealt with the synthesis and extraction of benzofuran-based heterocycles to investigate their antimicrobial potential. AREAS COVERED: This review describes the antimicrobial activity of various natural and synthetic benzofuran scaffolds. The antimicrobial activity of benzofurans is thoroughly investigated against several bacterial (Gram-positive and Gram-negative) and fungal microorganisms compared with several reference antibiotic drugs. The effects of the electronic nature of substituents on the activity of benzofurans through SAR study were reported. This article also highlights the recent natural and synthetic benzofuran-based organic molecules between 2019-2022 that have had success in terms of their antimicrobial activity. EXPERT OPINION: Many of the described benzofurans are promising candidates as antimicrobial agents based on their activity. Most used antibiotics target infections caused by the gram-positive pathogen S. aureus. Interestingly, most of the described benzofurans are promising inhibitors against S. aureus with either equipotent or more potent activity than the reference antibiotic drugs. These findings will encourage medicinal chemists to explore these new avenues for human health promotion to reduce suffering.

RESUMEN

An appropriate and efficient Q-tube-assisted ammonium acetate-mediated protocol for the assembly of the hitherto unreported 5-arylazopyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines was demonstrated. This methodology comprises the cyclocondensation reaction of 5-amino-2-phenyl-4H-pyrazol-3-one with an assortment of arylhydrazonals in an NH4OAc/AcOH buffer solution operating a Q-tube reactor. This versatile protocol exhibited several outstanding merits: easy work-up, mild conditions, scalability, broad substrate scope, safety (the Q-tube kit is simply for pressing and sealing), and a high atom economy. Consequently, performing such reactions under elevated pressures and utilizing the Q-tube reactor seemed preferable for achieving the required products in comparison to the conventional conditions. Diverse spectroscopic methods and X-ray single-crystal techniques were applied to confirm the proposed structure of the targeted compounds.

RESUMEN

A number of new 1,ω-bis((acetylphenoxy)acetamide)alkanes 5a-f were prepared then their bromination using NBS furnished the novel bis(2-bromoacetyl)phenoxy)acetamides 6a-f. Reaction of 6a-f with 4-amino-5-substituted-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol 7a-d and with o-phenylenediamine derivatives 9a and b afforded the corresponding bis(1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine) derivatives 8a-l and bis(quinoxaline) derivatives 10a-e in good yields. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds as well as apoptosis induction through PARP-1 and EGFR as molecular targets was evaluated. Three compounds, 8d, 8i and 8l, exhibited much better cytotoxic activities against MDA-MB-231 than the drug Erlotinib. Interestingly, compound 8i induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells by 38-fold compared to the control arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, and its treatment upregulated P53, Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 gene levels, while it downregulated the Bcl2 level. Compound 8i exhibited promising dual enzyme inhibition of PARP-1 (IC50 = 1.37 nM) compared to Olaparib (IC50 = 1.49 nM), and EGFR (IC50 = 64.65 nM) compared to Erlotinib (IC50 = 80 nM). These results agreed with the molecular docking studies that highlighted the binding disposition of compound 8i inside the PARP-1 and EGFR protein active sites. Hence, compound 8i may serve as a potential anti-breast cancer agent.

RESUMEN

Solid-supported catalysts play efficient and crucial roles in organic synthesis. A solid-supported palladium(II) complex based on chitosan was synthesized and fully characterized using all possible tools (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis). The catalytic activity of the solid-phase catalyst in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions was evaluated in aqueous solvents under both conventional heating and microwave irradiation conditions. The recyclability and thermal stability of the prepared catalyst were also examined, and the catalyst was found to be active till five consecutive runs without a notable loss of activity under the microwave condition, with the turnover number and turnover frequency values reaching 19,019 and 114,114 h-1, respectively.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive deterioration. All recent therapeutic strategies tend to inhibit the generation of the Aß peptide. These approaches tend to mediate both α - and γ -secretases to undergo the nonamyloidogenic pathway. ADAM10 is the main α-secretase that cleaves APP, and it is regulated by the metabolic product of vitamin A (retinoic acid), which is being widely used recently in AD research as a target for treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are also used recently as a promising regenerative therapy for AD. OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to: (1) study the effect of MSCs with/without acitretin on the regulation of Adam10 gene expression in AlCl3-induced AD rat model, and (2) validate the hypothesis that AD is a time-dependent progressive disease that spreads spontaneously even after the stopping of exposure to AlCl3. METHODS: The experimental work has been designed to include three successive phases; AlCl3 induction phase (I), AlCl3 withdrawal phase (W), and therapeutic phase (T). Forty-five male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 main groups: the control (C) group (15 rats) and AD group (30 rats). The therapeutic potential of MSCs with/without acitretin has been evaluated at behavioral, physiological, molecular, and histopathological levels. RESULTS: Among the three therapeutic groups, combined administration of both MSC and acitretin showed the best compensatory effects on most of the measured parameters. CONCLUSION: The present study approved that AD is a time-dependent progressive disease which spreads spontaneously without more AlCl3 exposure.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Bipyrazole is constituted from two pyrazole units either in their fully aromatic or partially hydrogenated forms. Pyrazoles are widely available in pharmaceutical and agrochemical products. Some pyrazoles are essential parts of commercial drugs in the market. This inspired us to collect the pharmacological activities of bipyrazoles that have potential therapeutic behaviors in several biological aspects but none of them were included in commercial drugs. AREAS COVERED: This review covers all biological and pharmacological potentials of bipyrazole derivatives during 2010-2021. The topics of this review comprised anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitubercular, antimalarial, insecticidal activities as well as enzymatic inhibitions. EXPERT OPINION: Bipyrazoles demonstrated a wide array of potent activities against various diseases such as anticancer, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. Those are of great benefits for medicinal researchers to develop promising building blocks of bipyrazoles for treatment of diseases. The SAR studies showed that metallated bipyrazoles had better biological activities than bipyrazole ligands. For example, gold(III) and iridium(II) complexes of bipyrazoles were proved to be anticancer agents, and copper(I) as well as silver(I) complexes had excellent antibacterial activities. Several bipyrazoles were reported as antimalarial inhibitors better than chloroquine, the possible COVID-19 drug.

RESUMEN

A suitable and effective Q-tube-assisted strategy for the synthesis of novel, unrivalled thiochromeno[4,3-b]pyridine and chromeno[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives has been sophisticated, which includes ammonium acetate-mediated cyclocondensation reactions between 3-oxo-2-arylhydrazonopropanals and heterobenzocyclic ketones such as thiochroman-4-one and chroman-4-one, respectively. The high-pressure Q-tube reactor was shown to be superior to conventional heating. Furthermore, this Q-tube reactor-assisted protocol is safe owing to facile pressing and sealing, a broad substrate scope, and simple work-up and purification processes, as well as being scalable and having a high atom economy. The proposed mechanistic route includes two sequential dehydrative stages. In this investigation, X-ray crystallographic analysis was performed to authenticate the targeted products.

RESUMEN

A series of bis-thiazoles 5a-g were synthesized from bis-thiosemicarbazone 3 with hydrazonoyl chlorides 4a-g. Reaction of 3 with two equivalents of α-halocarbonyl compounds 6-8, 10, and 12a-d afforded the corresponding bis-thiazolidines 9, 11, and 13a-d, respectively. Condensation of bis-thiazolidin-4-one 9 with different aromatic aldehydes furnished bis-thiazolidin-4-ones 14a-d. Compounds 5a-g, 9, and 13a,c,d were screened in vitro for their cytotoxic activities in a panel of cancer cell lines. Compounds 5a-c, 5f-g, and 9 exhibited remarkable cytotoxic activities, especially compound 5c with potent IC50 value 0.6 nM (against cervical cancer, Hela cell line) and compound 5f with high IC50 value 6 nM (against ovarian cancer, KF-28 cell line). Compound 5f-induced appreciated apoptotic cell death was measured as 82.76% associated with cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. The apoptotic pathways activated in KF-28 cells treated with 5a, 5b, and 5f were further investigated. The upregulation of some pro-apoptotic genes, bax and puma, and the downregulation of some anti-apoptotic genes including the Bcl-2 gene were observed, indicating activation of the mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis. Together with the molecular docking studies of compounds 5a and 5b, our data revealed potential Pim-1 kinase inhibition through their high binding affinities indicated by inhibition of phosphorylated C-myc as a downstream target for Pim-1 kinase. Our study introduces a set of bis-thiazoles with potent anti-cancer activities, in vitro.

RESUMEN

Investigating the etiological causes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at the molecular level should help in identifying targets and strategies that would increase the efficacy of the current management regimens. Some genes may act as molecular diagnostics, of these ASXL1 and PHF6 are involved in regulation of gene expression, and BAX , and ARC, are pro- and anti-apoptotic molecules, respectively. In this study, peripheral blood samples were collected from 54 recently diagnosed AML patients in addition to 20 healthy individuals (the control group). Cellular RNA was extracted from all the samples and were subjected to quantitative analysis of the transcript levels of the four selected markers. Our data showed a significant elevation in the expression levels of PHF6 and ARC in AML patients, when compared to the controls (77.8% and 83.3%, respectively). On the other hand, ASXL1 and BAX exhibited increase, to a lesser extent, in the expression levels of the AML patients (52% and 55.6%, respectively). Our study also showed that the expression levels of ARC and PHF6 exhibited a concomitant increase and this could be correlated with poor prognosis of the cases. Thus, we can suggest these markers as reliable prognostic markers for prediction of AML outcomes.

RESUMEN

A novel, expedient and effective methodology for the synthesis of distinctly substituted 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine and 5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline systems has been developed with a new synthetic platform. This process includes ammonium acetate-mediated cyclocondensation reactions of 3-oxo-2-arylhydrazonopropanals with benzosuberone and tetralone precursors, respectively, using the high-pressure Q-tube reactor, which has been found to be superior to both conventional heating and microwave irradiation. The novel protocol benefits from its high atom efficiency, economy, ease of workup, broad substrate scope and is also applicable to gram-scale synthesis. To identify and confirm the newly synthesized targeted compounds, the X-ray single-crystal as well as all possible spectroscopic methods were utilized. The cytotoxicity of the newly synthesized 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine 4a-j and 5,6-dihydrobenzo-[h]quinolines derivatives 6a-e were preliminary examined toward three cell lines of human cancer; lung cancer (A549), breast cancer (MCF-7) and colon cancer (HCT-116), by applying the MTT colorimetric assay. The achieved results reflected the promising profile of the prepared compounds in this study against cancer cells and have shown that members from the synthesized 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine 4a-j exhibited promising cytotoxicity's against MCF-7, and A549 cancer cells respectively, while the HCT-116 (colon) cancer cells were inhibited by certain examples of 5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline derivatives 6c,d. These promising results could serve as a good primary base for further research into the design of anticancer drugs.

Natural and synthetic indolizines have a wide-range of pharmaceutical importance such as antitumor, antimycobacterial, antagonist, and antiproliferative activities. This prompted us to search and collect all possible data about the pharmacological importance of indolizine to open an avenue to the researchers in exploring more medicinal applications of such biologically important compounds. AREAS COVERED: The current review article covers the advancements in the biological and pharmacological activities of indolizine-based compounds during the last decade. The covered areas of this work involved anticancer, anti-HIV-1, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-tubercular, larvicidal, anti-schizophrenia, CRTh2 antagonist's activities in addition to enzymatic inhibitory activity. EXPERT OPINION: The discovery of indolizine drugs will be a major breakthrough as compared with their widely available drug-containing indole isosteres. Major work collected here was focused on anticancer, anti-tubercular, anti-inflammatory, and enzymatic inhibitory activities. The SAR study of the reported biologically active indolizines is summarized throughout the review whenever highlighted to the rationale the behavior of inhibitory action. Several indolizines with certain functions provided great enhancement in the therapeutic activities comparing with reference drugs.
