RESUMEN
Chromatographic behavior of new chiral stationary phases (CSPs) Chiral-T and Chiral-V with teicoplanin and vancomycin antibiotics grafted onto superficially porous silica particles was studied in relation to dipeptide (DP) stereoisomers. The unbuffered water-methanol solutions were used as mobile phases (MPs). The effects of physical properties and molecular structure of analytes and selectors on retention and separation of DP stereoisomers are discussed herein. Chiral-T was evinced to exhibit high enantioselectivity, with highest α values attaining 16.5, 18.8 and 20.4 for Gly-Leu, dd/ll-Phe-Leu and ld/dl-Ala-Ala. At this point, Chiral-V did not exhibit enantioselectivity towards DP stereoisomers. The effect of MP composition on retention and enantioseparation of DPs was investigated. Lipophilicity of DPs was found to be an essential factor in the dependence of their retention vs. methanol concentration in ÐPs. Lipophobic DPs were eluted more quickly by water-rich solvents, with lipophilic DPs exhibiting an asymmetric U-shaped, or a descending dependence of retention factor vs. the methanol percentage on Chiral-T or Chiral-V, respectively. A theoretical model taking into account interaction of both solvents of a binary MP with both an analyte and adsorption sites was successfully applied so as to approximate and interpret the dependences of DP retention (monotonic and U-shaped) vs. a modifier content in MP. Water molecules were evinced to predominantly participate in competitive adsorption with DP molecules. The model predicted better solvation of lipophilic DPs by methanol and better solvation of lipophobic DPs by water. An attempt was made to verify the possibility of modeling by molecular docking the processes occurring during interaction between DP stereoisomers and CSPs, including consideration of the influence of competitive binding of eluent molecules in selector cavity.

A series of the first conjugates of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine with α-aminophosphonates was synthesized using the Kabachnik-Fields reaction, the Pudovik reaction, a copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) and evaluated for the in vitro cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines M - HeLa, HuTu-80, A549, PANC-1, MCF-7, T98G and normal lung fibroblast cells WI-38. The tested conjugates, with exception of compound 21b, considered as a lead compound, were either inactive against the used cancer cells or showed moderate cytotoxicity in the range of IC50 values 33-80 µM. The lead compound 21b, being non cytotoxic against normal human cells WI-38 (IC50 = 90 µM), demonstrated good activity (IC50 = 17 µM) against breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7) which to be 1.5 times higher than the activity of the used reference anticancer drug tamoxifen (IC50 = 25.0 µM). A flexible receptor molecular docking simulation showed that the cytotoxicity of the synthesized conjugates of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine with α-aminophosphonates against breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cell line is due to their ability to inhibit EGFR kinase domain. In addition, it was found that conjugates 22a and 22b demonstrated antioxidant activity that was not typical for α-aminophosphonates.

In this work, we describe the synthesis, interactions with bovine serum albumin, and cytotoxicity of new ionic liquids based on 5-fluorouracil (API-ILs) with different cations (imidazolium, choline, isoquinolinium, guanidinium). The secondary and tertiary structure of BSA in solutions with different concentrations of API-ILs was monitored by the circular dichroism (CD) technique. The addition of API-ILs does not lead to structural changes in BSA. A quenching of fluorescence spectra intensity of BSA in presence of all API-ILs was observed, allowing the quantification of binding between API-ILs and BSA. The preferred localization of both ions in API-ILs differs significantly depending on the structure of the cation according to molecular docking. The aggregation of BSA in presence of API-ILs was analyzed by the dynamic light scattering (DLS) method, revealing a moderate increase in particle size. Cytotoxicity and selectivity of API-ILs on cancer and normal cell lines were estimated, showing a clear modification of the pharmaceutic activity of ionic liquid compared to 5-fluorouracil.

A series of 1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside analogues bearing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue was synthesized by the copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction of N1-ω-alkynyl derivatives of uracil, 6-methyluracil, thymine and 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-acetamido-ß-D-glucopyranosyl azide. Antiviral assays revealed the lead compound 3f which showed both the same activity against the influenza virus A H1N1 (IC50=70.7 µM) as the antiviral drug Rimantadine in control (IC50=77 µM) and good activity against Coxsackievirus B3 (IC50=13.9 µM) which was one and a half times higher than the activity of the antiviral drug Pleconaril in control (IC50=21.6 µM). According to molecular docking simulations, the antiviral activity of the lead compound 3f against Coxsackie B3 virus can be explained by its binding to a key fragment of the capsid surface of this virus.

A series of 5'-phosphorylated (dialkyl phosphates, diaryl phosphates, phosphoramidates, H-phosphonates, phosphates) 1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside analogues in which the 1,2,3-triazole-4-yl-ß-D-ribofuranose fragment is attached via a methylene group or a butylene chain to the N-1 atom of the heterocycle moiety (uracil or quinazoline-2,4-dione) was synthesized. All compounds were evaluated for antiviral activity against influenza virus A/PR/8/34/(H1N1). Antiviral assays revealed three compounds, 13b, 14b, and 17a, which showed moderate activity against influenza virus A (H1N1) with IC50 values of 17.9 µM, 51 µM, and 25 µM, respectively. In the first two compounds, the quinazoline-2,4-dione moiety is attached via a methylene or a butylene linker, respectively, to the 1,2,3-triazole-4-yl-ß-D-ribofuranosyl fragment possessing a 5'-diphenyl phosphate substituent. In compound 17a, the uracil moiety is attached via the methylene unit to the 1,2,3-triazole-4-yl-ß-D-ribofuranosyl fragment possessing a 5'-(phenyl methoxy-L-alaninyl)phosphate substituent. The remaining compounds appeared to be inactive against influenza virus A/PR/8/34/(H1N1). The results of molecular docking simulations indirectly confirmed the literature data that the inhibition of viral replication is carried out not by nucleoside analogues themselves, but by their 5'-triphosphate derivatives.

A series of 1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside analogues in which 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl-ß-d-ribofuranosyl fragments are attached via polymethylene linkers to both nitrogen atoms of the heterocycle moiety (uracil, 6-methyluracil, thymine, quinazoline-2,4-dione, alloxazine) or to the C-5 and N-3 atoms of the 6-methyluracil moiety was synthesized. All compounds synthesized were evaluated for antiviral activity against influenza virus A/PR/8/34/(H1N1) and coxsackievirus B3. Antiviral assays revealed three compounds, 2i, 5i, 11c, which showed moderate activity against influenza virus A H1N1 with IC50 values of 57.5 µM, 24.3 µM, and 29.2 µM, respectively. In the first two nucleoside analogues, 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl-ß-d-ribofuranosyl fragments are attached via butylene linkers to N-1 and N-3 atoms of the heterocycle moiety (6-methyluracil and alloxazine, respectively). In nucleoside analogue 11c, two 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl-2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-ß-d-ribofuranose fragments are attached via propylene linkers to the C-5 and N-3 atoms of the 6-methyluracil moiety. Almost all synthesized 1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside analogues showed no antiviral activity against the coxsackie B3 virus. Two exceptions are 1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside analogs 2f and 5f, in which 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl-2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-ß-d-ribofuranose fragments are attached to the C-5 and N-3 atoms of the heterocycle moiety (6-methyluracil and alloxazine respectively). These compounds exhibited high antiviral potency against the coxsackie B3 virus with IC50 values of 12.4 and 11.3 µM, respectively, although both were inactive against influenza virus A H1N1. According to theoretical calculations, the antiviral activity of the 1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside analogues 2i, 5i, and 11c against the H1N1 (A/PR/8/34) influenza virus can be explained by their influence on the functioning of the polymerase acidic protein (PA) of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). As to the antiviral activity of nucleoside analogs 2f and 5f against coxsackievirus B3, it can be explained by their interaction with the coat proteins VP1 and VP2.

The minireview surveys the modification of native nucleosides as a result of which huge libraries of nucleoside analogs of various structures were synthesized. Particular attention is paid to the synthesis of the so-called prodrug forms of nucleoside analogs which ensure their penetration into the cell and metabolism to active 5'-triphosphate derivatives. All the best known antiviral cyclic nucleoside analogs approved for the treatment of HIV infections, hepatitis B, C, and influenza since the 1960s, as well as those in various stages of clinical trials in recent years, are listed. Nucleoside analogs that have shown the ability to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV are discussed, including remdesivir, approved by the FDA for emergency use in the fight against COVID-19.
RESUMEN
A series of conjugates of diterpenoid isosteviol (16-oxo-ent-beyeran-19-oic acid) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine was synthesised and their cytotoxicity against several human cancer cell lines (M-Hela, MCF-7, Hep G2, Panc-1, PC-3), as well as normal human cell lines (WI-38, Chang liver) was assayed. Most of the conjugates were found to be cytotoxic against the mentioned cancer cell lines in the range of IC50 values 13-89 µM. Two lead compounds 14a and 14b showed selective cytotoxicity against M-Hela (IC50 13 and 14 µM) that was two times as high as the cytotoxicity of the anti-cancer drug Tamoxifen in control (IC50 28 µM). It was found that cytotoxic activity of the lead compounds against M-Hela cells is due to induction of apoptosis.

Based on the fact that a search for influenza antivirals among nucleoside analogues has drawn very little attention of chemists, the present study reports the synthesis of a series of 1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside analogues in which a pyrimidine fragment is attached to the ribofuranosyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl moiety by a polymethylene linker of variable length. Target compounds were prepared by the Cu alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. Derivatives of uracil, 6-methyluracil, 3,6-dimethyluracil, thymine and quinazolin-2,4-dione with ω-alkyne substituent at the N1 (or N5) atom and azido 2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-D-ß-ribofuranoside were used as components of the CuAAC reaction. All compounds synthesized were evaluated for antiviral activity against influenza virus A/PR/8/34/(H1N1) and coxsackievirus B3. The best values of IC50 (inhibiting concentration) and SI (selectivity index) were demonstrated by the lead compound 4i in which the 1,2,3-triazolylribofuranosyl fragment is attached to the N1 atom of the quinazoline-2,4-dione moiety via a butylene linker (IC50 = 30 µM, SI = 24) and compound 8n in which the 1,2,3-triazolylribofuranosyl fragment is attached directly to the N5 atom of the 6-methyluracil moiety (IC50 = 15 µM, SI = 5). According to theoretical calculations, the antiviral activity of the 1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside analogues 4i and 8n against H1N1 (A/PR/8/34) influenza virus can be explained by their influence on the functioning of the polymerase acidic protein (PA) of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP).

Several glycoconjugates of the diterpenoid isosteviol (16-oxo-ent-beyeran-19-oic acid) with a 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety were synthesized, and their cytotoxicity was evaluated against some human cancer and normal cell lines. Most of the synthesized compounds demonstrated weak inhibitory activities against the M-HeLa and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines. Three lead compounds, 54, 56 and 57, exhibited high selective cytotoxic activity against M-HeLa cells (IC50 = 1.7-1.9 µM) that corresponded to the activity of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 3.0 µM). Moreover, the lead compounds were not cytotoxic with respect to a Chang liver human normal cell line (IC50 > 100 µM), whereas doxorubicin was cytotoxic to this cell line (IC50 = 3.0 µM). It was found that cytotoxic activity of the lead compounds is due to induction of apoptosis proceeding along the mitochondrial pathway. The present findings suggest that 1,2,3-triazolyl-ring-containing glycoconjugates of isosteviol are a promising scaffold for the design of novel anticancer agents.

A series of glycosides and glycoconjugates of diterpenoid isosteviol (16-oxo-ent-beyeran-19-oic acid) with various monosaccharide residues were synthesized and their cytotoxicity against some human cancer and normal cell lines was assayed. Most of the synthesized compounds demonstrated moderate to significant cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines M-HeLa and MCF-7. Three lead compounds exhibited selective cytotoxic activities against M-HeLa (IC50 = 10.0-15.1 µM) that were three times better than the cytotoxicity of the anti-cancer drug Tamoxifen (IC50 = 28.0 µM). Moreover, the lead compounds were not cytotoxic with respect to the normal human cell line Chang liver (IC50 > 100 µM), whereas Tamoxifen inhibited the viability of normal human Chang liver cells with an IC50 value of 46.0 µM. It was determined that the cytotoxicity of the lead compounds was due to induction of apoptosis proceeding along the mitochondrial pathway. The cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds substantially depended on the nature of the monosaccharide residue and its position, that is, whether the monosaccharide residue was attached directly to the isosteviol skeleton or was moved away from it by means of a polymethylene linker.
RESUMEN
