Synthesis, molecular modeling investigation, molecular dynamic and ADME prediction of some novel Mannich bases derived from 1,2,4-triazole, and assessment of their anticancer activity.

A series of biologically active novel Mannich bases containing with a 1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-one ring were developed to evaluate the cytotoxic activity. For this purpose, the synthesized Schiff Bases (S1-5) were reacted with formaldehyde and morpholine, which is a secondary amine to yield novel N-Mannich bases (M1-5) via the Mannich reaction. The structures of the compounds (M1-5) were determined structurally employing 1H/13C-NMR, IR and elemental analysis. In this study, we evaluated the cytotoxic potential of the compounds (M1-5) on the human hypopharyngeal carcinoma FaDu cells. We found that the compound (M3) possesses a significant anticancer feature against FaDu cells that might be evaluated with further in vitro and in vivo studies to understand its anticancer potential better. Lastly, comparisons were made using molecular docking calculations to find the theoretical activities of the compounds (M1-5). The docking score parameter of the compound (M3) against the 2DO4 protein is -5.67, the docking score parameter against the 5JPZ protein is -5.72, and finally, the docking score parameter against the 2H80 protein is -5.50. Molecular dynamic calculations are made for 0-100 ns. The ADME/T calculations were performed to find the drug potential of the compounds (M1-5). The results suggest that our drug candidate compound exhibits strong potential for co-administration with the antigen structures, owing to the low rate of interactions that decreased over time.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Synthesis and acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitory effects of some novel 4,5-Dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one derivatives; an in vitro and in silico study.

In this study, a series of novel Schiff bases (4a-4h) containing 1,2,4-triazole structure were synthesized through a condensation reaction of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones with 3-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyloxy)-benzaldehyde. The structures of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-[3-(4-methylsulfonyloxy)-benzylidenamino]-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (4a-h) were determined through a range of spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis). In addition, enzyme inhibitory properties of the newly synthesized Schiff bases were determined against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Their Ki values were calculated in the range of 0.70 ± 0.07-8.65 ± 5.6 µM. Besides, their IC50 values were calculated in the range of 0.43-3.87 µM. Finally, in silico molecular docking interactions of the compounds with AChE target enzyme (PDB ID:4EY7) were evaluated using Chimera and AutoDock Vina softwares. The lowest binding energy levels (-12.0 kcal/mol) of the compounds 4e and 4g with AChE target enzyme were verified the best binding affinities and molecular interactions.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Analysis, and in Vitro/in Silico Biological Studies of Novel Piperidine Derivatives Heterocyclic Schiff-Mannich Base Compounds.

In the present study, 3-substitued-4-(4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (S1-8) were synthesized by treating 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (B) with eight different 3-substitued-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-ones (T1-8) in acetic acid medium, separately. The synthesized Schiff bases (S) were reacted with formaldehyde and secondary amine such as 4-piperidinecarboxyamide to afford novel heterocyclic bases. 3-Substitued-4-(4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (T) were treated with 4-piperidinecarboxyamide in the presence of formaldehyde to synthesize eight new 1-(4-piperidinecarboxyamide-1-yl-methyl)-3-substitued-4-(4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (M1-8). The structure characterization of compounds was carried out using 1 H-NMR, IR, HR-MS, and 13 C-NMR spectroscopic methods. The inhibitory properties of the newly synthesized compounds were calculated against the acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes. Ki values were calculated in the range of 20.06±3.11-36.86±6.17 µM for GST, 17.87±2.91-30.53±4.25 µM for AChE, 9.08±0.69-20.02±2.88 µM for BChE, respectively, Besides, IC50 values were also calculated. Best binding scores of -inhibitors against used enzymes were calculated as -12.095 kcal/mol, -12.775 kcal/mol, and -9.336 kcal/mol, respectively. While 5-oxo-triazole piperidine-4-carboxamide moieties have a critical role in the inhibition of AChE and GST enzymes, hydroxy benzyl moiety is important for BChE enzyme inhibition.

Synthesis, design, and assessment of novel morpholine-derived Mannich bases as multifunctional agents for the potential enzyme inhibitory properties including docking study.

The synthesized Schiff Bases were reacted with formaldehyde and secondary amine such as 2,6-dimethylmorpholine to afford N-Mannich bases through the Mannich reaction. 3-Substitued-4-(4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (4) were treated with 2,6-dimethylmorpholine in the presence of formaldehyde to synthesize eight new 1-(2,6-dimethylmorpholino-4-yl-methyl)-3-substitued-4-(4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (4a-h). The structures of the synthesized eight new compounds were characterized using IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HR-MS spectroscopic methods. Synthesized compounds inhibitory activity determined against the acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes with Ki values in the range 25.23-42.19 µM for AChE, 19.37-34.22 µM for BChE, and 21.84-41.14 µM for GST, respectively. Binding scores of most active inhibitors against AChE, BChE, and GST enzymes were detected as -10.294 kcal/mol, -9.562 kcal/mol, and -7.112 kcal/mol, respectively. The hydroxybenzylidene moiety of the most active inhibitors caused to inhibition of the enzymes through hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond.

Synthesis, characterization and theoretical determination of corrosion inhibitor activities of some new 4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-Triazol-5-one derivatives.

Nine novel {bis-4-[(3-alkyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-4(5H)-yl)-iminomethyl]-phenyl} [1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-disulfonates were synthesized and their structures were determined with spectral methods. Corrosion inhibitor activities of the title compounds were investigated using quantum mechanical methods. The parameters such as the Energy of the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (EHOMO), Energy of the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (ELUMO), energy gap (ΔE = ELUMO - EHOMO) and dipole moment (µ) which are related to the corrosion effectivity of the organic compounds whose the molecular geometry and electronic properties are especially studied, were determined by using the density function theory method. Using these calculation results, properties such as hardness (ɳ), softness (σ), electronegativity (χ) values were calculated. Also quantum chemical parameters such as the fraction of transferred electrons (ΔN) between the iron surface and the 4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-one derivative compounds were calculated. It has been discussed that which parameters have a good linear relationship with inhibition efficiency. The results of the calculations show that there is a close relationship between the activity of organic-based corrosion inhibitors showing good corrosion inhibitor activity and the calculated quantum chemical parameters of the process. Thus, corrosion inhibitor activity can be predicted without conducting an experimental study.
