RESUMEN

A novel small molecule based on benzothiazole-piperazine has been identified as an effective multi-target-directed ligand (MTDL) against Alzheimer's disease (AD). Employing a medicinal chemistry approach, combined with molecular docking, MD simulation, and binding free energy estimation, compound 1 emerged as a potent MTDL against AD. Notably, compound 1 demonstrated efficient binding to both AChE and Aß1-42, involving crucial molecular interactions within their active sites. It displayed a binding free energy (ΔGbind) -18.64± 0.16 and -16.10 ± 0.18 kcal/mol against AChE and Aß1-42, respectively. In-silico findings were substantiated through rigorous in vitro and in vivo studies. In vitro analysis confirmed compound 1 (IC50=0.42 µM) as an effective, mixed-type, and selective AChE inhibitor, binding at both the enzyme's catalytic and peripheral anionic sites. Furthermore, compound 1 demonstrated a remarkable ability to reduce the aggregation propensity of Aß, as evidenced by Confocal laser scanning microscopy and TEM studies. Remarkably, in vivo studies exhibited the promising therapeutic potential of compound 1. In a scopolamine-induced memory deficit mouse model of AD, compound 1 showed significantly improved spatial memory and cognition. These findings collectively underscore the potential of compound 1 as a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of AD.

RESUMEN

Serotonin reuptake inhibition combined with the action targeting 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor subtypes can serve as a potential target for the development of antidepressant drugs. Herein a series of new aralkyl piperazines and piperidines were designed and synthesized by the structural modifications of the previously discovered aralkyl piperidine compound 1, targeting SSRI/5-HT1A/5-HT7. The results exhibited that compound 5a showed strong binding to 5-HT1A and 5-HT7 (Ki of 0.46 nM, 2.7 nM, respectively) and a high level of serotonin reuptake inhibition (IC50 of 1.9 nM), all of which were significantly elevated compared to 1. In particular, compound 5a showed weaker inhibitory activity against hERG than 1, and demonstrated good stability in liver microsomes in vitro. The preliminary screening using FST indicated that orally administered 5a, at a high dose, could reduce immobility time in mice markedly, indicating potential antidepressant activity.

RESUMEN

An innovative series of N-substituted piperazine-linked imidazothiazole derivatives 7(a-x) were synthesized, and their antitubercular effectiveness was evaluated. A three-step reaction sequence involving the condensation of 1,3-dichloroacetone and thiourea, coupling with substituted piperazines to give the intermediates 5(a-d) and cyclization with substituted α-bromoacetophenones produced the desired imidazothiazole derivatives 7(a-x) in excellent yields. In vitro screening of new derivatives against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv resulted in 7k (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC]: 0.78 µg/mL) and 7g and 7h (MIC: 1.56 µg/mL) as potent hit compounds. Further, the docking studies of the promising compounds 7k, 7g, and 7h revealed that the best molecular interactions are with the DprE1 in complex with sulfonyl PBTZ of M. tuberculosis as the target protein (PDB ID: 6G83).

RESUMEN

The multi-target directed ligand (MTDL) discovery has been gaining immense attention in the development of therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The strategy has been evolved as an auspicious approach suitable to combat the heterogeneity and the multifactorial nature of AD. Therefore, multi-targetable chalcone derivatives bearing N-aryl piperazine moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for the treatment of AD. All the synthesized compounds were screened for thein vitro activityagainst acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butylcholinesterase (BuChE), ß-secretase-1 (BACE-1), and inhibition of amyloid ß (Aß) aggregation. Amongst all the tested derivatives, compound 41bearing unsubstituted benzylpiperazine fragment and para-bromo substitution at the chalcone scaffold exhibited balanced inhibitory profile against the selected targets. Compound 41 elicited favourable permeation across the blood-brain barrier in the PAMPA assay. The molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies revealed the binding mode analysis and protein-ligand stability ofthe compound with AChE and BACE-1. Furthermore,itameliorated cognitive dysfunctions and signified memory improvement in thein-vivobehavioural studies (scopolamine-induced amnesia model). Theex vivobiochemical analysis of mice brain homogenates established the reduced AChE and increased ACh levels. The antioxidant activity of compound 41 was accessed with the determination of catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The findings suggested thatcompound 41, containing a privileged chalcone scaffold, can act as a lead molecule for developing AD therapeutics.

RESUMEN

The persistence of drug resistance poses a significant obstacle to the advancement of efficacious malaria treatments. The remarkable efficacy displayed by 1,2,3-triazole-based compounds against Plasmodium falciparum highlights the potential of triazole conjugates, with diverse pharmacologically active structures, as potential antimalarial agents. We aimed to synthesize 7-dichloroquinoline-triazole conjugates and their structure-activity relationship (SAR) derivatives to investigate their anti-plasmodial activity. Among them, QP11, featuring a m-NO2 substitution, demonstrated efficacy against both chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant parasite strains. QP11 selectively inhibited FP2, a cysteine protease involved in hemoglobin degradation, and showed synergistic effects when combined with chloroquine. Additionally, QP11 hindered hemoglobin degradation and hemozoin formation within the parasite. Metabolic stability studies indicated high stability of QP11, making it a promising antimalarial candidate. In vivo evaluation using a murine malaria model demonstrated QP11's efficacy in eradicating parasite growth without neurotoxicity, presenting it as a promising compound for novel antimalarial development.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Plant bacterial infections and plant viruses seriously affect the yield and quality of crops. Based on the various activities of tryptanthrin, a series of tryptanthrin analogues bearing F and piperazine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activities against three plant bacteria and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). RESULTS: Bioassay results indicated that compounds 6a-6l displayed excellent antibacterial activities in vitro and 6a-6c and 6g exhibited better antiviral activities against TMV than commercial ribavirin. In particular, 6b showed the most effect on Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) with a half-maximal effective concentration (EC50 ) of 1.26 µg mL-1 , compared with the commercial pesticide bismerthiazol (BT; EC50 = 34.3 µg mL-1 ) and thiodiazole copper (TC; EC50 = 73.3 µg mL-1 ). Meanwhile, 6a also had the best antiviral activity at 500 µg mL-1 for curative, protection, and inactivation purposes, compared with ribavirin in vivo. CONCLUSION: Compound 6b could cause changes in bacterial morphology, induce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, promote apoptosis of bacterial cells, inhibit the formation of biofilm, and block the growth of Xoo cells. Proteomic analysis revealed major differences in the bacterial secretory system pathways T2SS and T6SS, which inhibited membrane transport. Molecular docking revealed that 6a and 6g could interact with TMV coat protein preventing virus assembly. These results suggest that tryptanthrin analogues bearing F and piperazine moieties could be promising candidate agents for antibacterial and antiviral use in agricultural production. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

RESUMEN

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Although current treatments can increase patient survival, they are rarely curative when the disease is advanced (metastasis). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new cytotoxic drugs with a high selectivity toward cancer cells. Since repurposing approved drugs for cancer therapy has been a successful strategy in recent years, in this study, we screened a library of antiviral piperazine-derived compounds as anticancer agents. The compounds included a piperazine ring and aryl urea functions, which are privileged structures present in several anti-breast cancer drugs. The selective cytotoxic activity of a set of thirty-four 4-acyl-2-substituted piperazine urea derivatives against MCF7 breast cancer cells and MCF 10A normal breast cells was determined. Compounds 31, 32, 35, and 37 showed high selective anticancer activity against breast cancer cells and were also tested against another common type of cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (A549 lung cancer cells versus MRC-5 lung normal cells). Compounds 35 and 37 also showed selectivity against lung cancer cells. These results suggest that compounds 35 and 37 may be promising hit compounds for the development of new anticancer agents.

RESUMEN

Historically, the piperazine moiety has been demonstrated to possess pharmacophoric properties, and has subsequently been incorporated in many drugs that have antitumor, antimalarial, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. Derivatives of eugenol and dihydroeugenol have also been reported as being bioactive compounds. This study reports the synthesis of a range of eugenol/dihydroeugenol - piperazine derivatives which have been tested as antimicrobial compounds against Gram positive, Gram negative and rapid-growing mycobacteria (RGM). The rationale employed in the design of the structural pattern of these new derivatives, provides useful insights into the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of the series. Antimicrobial activity tests were extremely encouraging, with the majority of the synthesised compounds being more active than eugenol and dihydroeugenol starting materials. The antimicrobial potential was most notable against the Gram-negative species K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa, but there was also significant performance against the Gram-positive strains S. epidermidis and S. aureus and the Rapidly Growing Mycobacteria (RGM) strains tested. Tests using the synthesised compounds against multidrug-resistance clinical (MDR) isolates also showed high activity. The biofilm inhibition tests using M. fortuitum showed that all evaluated derivatives were able to inhibit biofilm formation even at low concentrations. In terms of structural-activity relationships; the results generated by this study demonstrate that the compounds with bulky substituents on the piperazine subunit were much more active than those with less bulky groups, or no groups. Importantly, the derivatives with a sulfonamide side chain were the most potent compounds. A further observation was that those compounds with a para-substituted benzenesulfonamide ring stand out, regardless of whether this substituent is a donor or an electron-withdrawing group.

RESUMEN

This study describes the synthesis, in vitro urease inhibition, and molecular docking studies of benzimidazolone derivatives incorporating the piperazine, triazole, thiadiazole, furan, thiophene, and thiosemicarbazide moieties. All newly synthesized compounds demonstrated varying degrees of urease inhibitory activity, with IC50 values ranging between 0.64 ± 0.099 and 0.11 ± 0.017 µM, when compared with the standard drug thiourea (IC50 value of 0.51 ± 0.028 µM). To confirm the experimental urease inhibition results and elucidate the mode of interaction of the synthesized compounds with the binding site of the urease enzyme, molecular docking studies were performed using the Schrödinger Suite package. Molecular docking studies showed that compounds with high in vitro urease inhibition interacted with key residues of the urease active site such as His221, Glu222, Asp223, His322, Arg338, and Ni2+ cations via hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, salt bridge, π-π stacking, and π-cation interactions.

RESUMEN

In this study, a series of novel 3-(5-fluoropyridine-3-yl)-2-oxazolidinone derivatives were designed and synthesized based on compounds previously reported, and their antibacterial activity was investigated. Then their antibacterial activity was investigated for the first time. Preliminary screening results showed that all these compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria, including 7 drug-sensitive strains and 4 drug-resistant strains, among which compound 7j exhibited an 8-fold stronger inhibitory effect than linezolid, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.25 µg/mL. Further molecular docking studies predicted the possible binding mode between active compound 7j and the target. Interestingly, these compounds could not only hamper the formation of biofilms, but also have better safety, as confirmed by cytotoxicity experiments. All these results indicate that these 3-(5-fluoropyridine-3-yl)-2-oxazolidinone derivatives have the potential to be developed into novel candidates for the treatment of gram-positive bacterial infections.

RESUMEN

Herein, a series of novel indole-piperazine derivatives were synthesized. Bioassay results showed the title compounds exhibited moderate to good bacteriostatic efficacy against the test Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Among theses compounds, three remarkable compounds 8f, 9a, and 9h exhibited superior in vitro antibacterial profiles for anti- S. aureus and anti-MRSA to that of gentamicin. Hit compound 9a manifested a rapid bactericidal kinetic effect on MRSA, with no resistance observed after 19 days of sequential passaging. And 8 µg/mL of compound 9a displayed considerable post antibacterial effects to that of ciprofloxacin at the concentration of 2 µg/mL. Cytotoxic and ADMET studies indicated, to some extent, compounds 8f, 9a, and 9h were up to the standard for antibacterial drugs. These results suggest that indole/piperazine derivatives based on the title compounds can serve as a new scaffold for antimicrobial development.

RESUMEN

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that is not satisfactorily treated with available antipsychotics. The presented study focuses on the search for new antipsychotics by optimising the compound D2AAK3, a multi-target ligand of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), in particular D2, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors. Such receptor profile may be beneficial for the treatment of schizophrenia. Compounds 1-16 were designed, synthesised, and subjected to further evaluation. Their affinities for the above-mentioned receptors were assessed in radioligand binding assays and efficacy towards them in functional assays. Compounds 1 and 10, selected based on their receptor profile, were subjected to in vivo tests to evaluate their antipsychotic activity, and effect on memory and anxiety processes. Molecular modelling was performed to investigate the interactions of the studied compounds with D2, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors on the molecular level. Finally, X-ray study was conducted for compound 1, which revealed its stable conformation in the solid state.

RESUMEN

Fibroblast activation proteins (FAP) are overexpressed in the tumor stroma and have received attention as target molecules for radionuclide therapy. The FAP inhibitor (FAPI) is used as a probe to deliver nuclides to cancer tissues. In this study, we designed and synthesized four novel 211At-FAPI(s) possessing polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers between the FAP-targeting and 211At-attaching moieties. 211At-FAPI(s) and piperazine (PIP) linker FAPI exhibited distinct FAP selectivity and uptake in FAPII-overexpressing HEK293 cells and the lung cancer cell line A549. The complexity of the PEG linker did not significantly affect selectivity. The efficiencies of both linkers were almost the same. Comparing the two nuclides, 211At was superior to 131I in tumor accumulation. In the mouse model, the antitumor effects of the PEG and PIP linkers were almost the same. Most of the currently synthesized FAPI(s) contain PIP linkers; however, in our study, we found that PEG linkers exhibit equivalent performance. If the PIP linker is inconvenient, a PEG linker is expected to be an alternative.

RESUMEN

Salmonella is a widespread foodborne pathogen that can exhibit multidrug resistance (MDR; resistance to ≥3 antimicrobial classes). Therefore, the development of new preventative measures against MDR Salmonella is highly important. Bacterial antibiotic resistance is commonly mediated by efflux pumps. In this study, two compounds that block efflux pump activity, 1-(1-Naphthylmethyl)-Piperazine (NMP) and Phenylalanine-arginine ß-naphthylamide (PaßN), were tested with the antibiotic tetracycline to determine if a synergistic reduction in resistance could be achieved in tetracycline-resistant Salmonella. The efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) reduced Salmonella resistance to tetracycline by 16 to 32-fold in several tetracycline resistant isolates. For example, the tetracycline minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for MDR Salmonella enterica serovar I 4,[5],12:i:- USDA15WA-1 (SX 238) was 256 µg/mL. However, in the presence of NMP (250 µg/mL), the MIC dropped to 8 µg/mL which is below the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoint for tetracycline resistance in Salmonella (≥16 µg/mL). Confocal and transmission electron microscopy revealed NMP-mediated damage to Salmonella membranes at a higher concentration (1000 µg/mL), implying that the EPI disrupts membrane morphology which can lead to cell death; however, this effect was dependent on NMP concentration, as NMP blocked efflux activity with less of a membrane-disrupting effect at a lower concentration (250 µg/mL). These findings suggest that the use of EPIs can reduce the MIC of tetracycline and restore the effectiveness of the antibiotic against tetracycline-resistant Salmonella.

RESUMEN

To imbibe the aim of synthesizing water-soluble and biocompatible motif, a click-inspired piperazine glycoconjugate has been devised up. In this report, we present a focused approach to design and synthesis of versatile sugar-appended triazoles through 'Click Chemistry' along with their pharmacological studies on cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and cell cytotoxicity on cancer cells using in silico and in vitro approaches, respectively. The study has inclusively recognized the galactose- and mannose-derived piperazine conjugates as the promising motifs. The findings suggested that the galactosyl bis-triazolyl piperazine analogue 10b is the most CDK interactive derivative and also possess significant anticancer activity.

RESUMEN

Piperazine derivatives have been of great interest to medicinal chemists in the development of antidepressant drugs due to their distinct molecular and structural features along with their pharmacological profile. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a series of 10 compounds of piperazine clubbed oxadiazole derivatives (5a-j) and screened for their MAO inhibitory activity. Compound 5f and 5 g were found to be the most potent MAO-A inhibitors of the series with IC50 values of 0.96 ± 0.04 µM µM and 0.81 ± 0.03 µM, respectively with a selectivity index of 18-folds and 9-folds over MAO-B isoform. The compounds were found to be reversible inhibitors of MAO-A with no cytotoxicity against SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. The compounds also displayed good antioxidant activity. Further, in vivo TST studies revealed that both the compounds 5f and 5 g possessed good anti-depressant-like activity and reduced the immobility time significantly although were found inactive in FST studies. The molecular docking studies revealed that both compounds fit well at the active site of MAO-A enzyme as similar to clorgyline and form a stable complex. The results were confirmed via molecular dynamic studies which demonstrate the stable complex formation between MAO-A and 5f & 5 g. The appropriate drug-like characteristics with favourable ADMET profile, these molecules presented this piperazine clubbed oxadiazole structural framework as a key pharmacophore for the development of new antidepressant molecules along with strong candidature for further clinical investigations.

RESUMEN

Recently, there are many studies suggesting antibacterial, antifungal, and anthelmintic agents as alternative chemicals to insecticides. In this study, the oxidative and genotoxic effect of Piperazine, a clinically important hexahydropyrazine anthelmintic, on Galleria mellonella L. hemolymph tissue by adding artificial diet were investigated. Galleria mellonella larvae were reared until 7th larval stage in artificial diet containing 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 g piperazine per 100 g of diet. Using hemolymph collected from 7th-instar larvae, the amount of lipid peroxidation final product malondialdehyde (MDA), protein oxidation product protein carbonyl (PCO), and detoxification enzymes glutathione S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (cyt P450) activity, comet assay were measured. According to the results obtained, when the piperazine high concentrations tested with the control group were compared, statistically significant differences were found in MDA, PCO content, cyt P450, GST activity, and comet assay in the hemolymph of the insect. While MDA content was 0.01 ± 0.0021 nmol/mg protein in the control group, this amount increased approximately 2-fold at the highest concentration (0.0231 ± 0.0050 nmol/mg protein). On the other hand, when the control group and the highest piperazine concentration were compared in the GST and cyt P450 activity, it was determined that there was a statistically significant increase. We obtained similar results in comet assay and micronucleus formation data. This study showed that the tested piperazine concentrations caused significant changes in the detoxification capacity, oxidative stress, and genotoxic markers in the insect's hemolymph tissue.

RESUMEN

A class of piperazine hybridized coumarin indolylcyanoenones was exploited as new structural antibacterial frameworks to combat intractable bacterial resistance. Bioactive assessment discovered that 4-chlorobenzyl derivative 11f showed a prominent inhibition on Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 with a low MIC of 1 µg/mL, which was four-fold more effective than norfloxacin. Importantly, the highly active 11f with inconspicuous hemolysis towards human red blood cells displayed quite low proneness to trigger bacterial resistance. Preliminary explorations on its antibacterial behavior disclosed that 11f possessed the ability to destroy bacterial cell membrane, leading to increased permeability of inner and outer membranes, the depolarization and fracture of membrane, and the effusion of intracellular components. Furthermore, bacterial oxidative stress and metabolic turbulence aroused by 11f also accelerated bacterial apoptosis. In particular, 11f could not only effectively inset into DNA, but also bind with DNA gyrase through forming supramolecular complex, thereby affecting the biological function of DNA. The above findings of new piperazine hybridized coumarin indolylcyanoenones provided an inspired possibility for the treatment of resistant bacterial infections.

RESUMEN

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a major global public health concern, owing to the lack of effective antibacterial drugs. Consequently, the discovery and development of innovative antibacterial drug classes with unique mechanisms of action are urgently needed. In this study, we designed, synthesised, and tested a series of novel pleuromutilin derivatives with piperazine linker substituted by amino acids moieties to determine their antibacterial properties. Most synthesized compounds exhibited potent activities against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. Compound 6l, the most potent antibacterial agent created in this study, displayed a rapid bactericidal activity against MRSA, Klebsiella pneumoniae and S. aureus cfr N12. Moreover, pharmacokinetics study of compound 6l exhibited good PK performance with a low in vivo clearance (CL = 1965 mL/h/kg) and a suitable half-life (T1/2 = 11.614 ± 5.123 h). Molecular docking experiments revealed the binding model of compound 6l to the unmethylated A2503 of peptidyl transferase centre of 23S rRNA. Interaction pattern of 6l with cfr-mediated ribosomes revealed by molecular dynamics. Moreover in vivo mouse systemic infection experiments with compound 6l revealed its effectiveness against MRSA and S. aureus cfr N12 with the ED50 of 11.08 mg/kg and 14.63 mg/kg body weight, respectively.
