Abstract
1,3,4-Thiadiazoles are structures that are bioisosteres of 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyrimidine ring, which are found in the structure of many drugs and anticancer active newly studied derivatives. In the past, high effect profiles have been observed in many molecules created, based on the anticancer effects of the 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (NSC 4728) molecule and acetazolamide molecules. Focusing on these molecules and evaluating them in terms of mechanistic effects, twelve new N-[5-((3,5-dichlorophenoxy) methyl]-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (3a-3i) were synthesized and their biological activities were investigated in lung cancer cells. The anticancer effects of the compounds were evaluated on the A549 and L929 cell lines. Compound 3f, namely 2-[(5-chlorobenzotiyazol-2-yl)thio]-N-[5-[(3,5-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]acetamide, showed better activity than cisplatin, exhibiting high inhibitory potency (IC50: <0.98 μg/mL) and selectivity against A549 cell line even at the lowest concentration tested. Compounds 3c, 3f, and 3h with the lowest IC50 values of the compounds exhibited an excellent percentage of apoptosis between 72.48 and 91.95% compared to cisplatin. The caspase-3 activation and mitochondrial membrane potential change of the aforementioned three compounds were also studied. Moreover, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) inhibition potential of all final compounds was also investigated and IC50 values for compounds 3b and 3g were identified as 154.23 and 107.28 µM. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation studies for MMP-9 enzyme inhibition were realized on these compounds and the nitrogen atoms of amide and thiadiazole moieties' ascertained that they play a key role in chelating with Zn metal, at the same time, (thio)ether moieties allow conformational change resulting in the ligand can make more stable contacts.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
A protocol involving the irradiation of some 3-(2-alkenyl)estrone and 3-(2-alkenyl)-17-norestrone derivatives under a nitrogen atmosphere in organic solvents (both hexane and MeOH) followed by base-mediated intramolecular oxa-Michael cyclization reaction was investigated under steady-state conditions. The solvent effect and nature of the acyl group on the preparative photoreaction were studied and the multiplicity of the excited state was also demonstrated. The ortho-regioisomers were obtained in modest to good yields. Intramolecular based-mediate cyclization reaction of these synthons led to the formation of a set of novel substituted 4-chromanone moieties fused to estrone (and 17-norestrone) in good yields. This two-step sequential procedure involving a photochemical/intramolecular thermal cyclization strategy will be useful for the preparation of wide heterocyclic-fused-steroid compounds.

Abstract
Many literature reports revealed the anticancer activity of pyridine and thiazole derivatives, especially in lung cancer. Therefore, a new series of thiazolyl pyridines linked with thiophene moiety via hydrazone group was prepared by one-pot multi-component reaction of (E)-1-(4-methyl-2-(2-(1-(thiophen-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)thiazol-5-yl)ethanone with benzaldehyde derivatives and malononitrile in a good yield. Then, compound 5 and the thiazolyl pyridines were investigated for their in vitro anticancer activity against lung cancer (A549) cell line using MTT assay compared to doxorubicin as a reference drug. The structure of all the newly synthesized compounds was established based on spectroscopic data and elemental analyses. For better insight to investigate their mechanism of action on A549 cell line, docking studies were performed, targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. The results obtained revealed that the tested compounds displayed excellent anticancer activities against lung cancer cell line except 8c and 8f compared to reference drug. Based on the data obtained, it can be inferred that the novel compounds, as well as their key intermediate, compound 5, demonstrated potent anticancer activity against lung carcinoma by inhibiting EGFR.

Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking of new triphenylamine-linked pyridine, thiazole and pyrazole analogues as anticancer agents. BMC Chem 2022; 16:88. [DOI: 10.1186/s13065-022-00879-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
AbstractA new series of pyridine, thiazole, and pyrazole analogues were synthesized. The pyridone analogues 4a-e were synthesized by treating N-aryl-2-cyano-3-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)acrylamides 3a-e with malononitrile. Many 4-arylidene-thiazolidin-5-one analogues 6a-d were obtained by Knoevenagel reactions of 4-(diphenylamino)benzaldehyde (1) with their corresponding thiazolidin-5-one derivatives 5a-d. The structural elucidation of the products was proven by the collections of spectroscopic methods such as IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS data. Their anti-cancer activity was examined against two cell lines, MDA-MB-231 (mammary carcinomas) and A-549 (lung cancer). Compared with cisplatin as a reference standard drug, 6-amino-4-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-2-oxo-1-(p-tolyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (4b) and 6-amino-4-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (4e) exhibited better efficiency against the A-549 cell line, with IC50 = 0.00803 and 0.0095 μM, respectively. Also, these compounds 4b and 4e showed the most potency among the examined compounds against MDA-MB-231 with IC50 = 0.0103 and 0.0147 μM, respectively. The newly synthesized compounds were docked inside the active sites of the selected proteins and were found to demonstrate proper binding. 2-Cyano-2-(4,4-(diphenylamino)benzylidene)-5-oxo-3-phenylthiazolidin-2-ylidene)-N-(p-tolyl)acetamide (6c) offered the highest binding affinity (− 8.1868 kcal/mol) when docked into (PDB ID:2ITO), in addition to 2-cyano-N-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)-2-(4-(4-(diphenylamino)benzylidene)-5-oxo-3-phenylthiazolidin-2-ylidene)acetamide (6a) gave the highest energy score (− 9.3507 kcal/mol) with (PDB ID:2A4L).

Abstract
Within the scope of this study, new 2-{2-[(5-nitrothiophen-2-yl)methylene]hydrazinyl}thiazole derivatives (2a-j) were synthesized and investigated for their potential anticancer and enzyme inhibition activities. Spectroscopic techniques were used to determine the structures of substances. The anticancer activities of compounds were detected in A549 human lung carcinoma and L929 murine fibroblast cell lines, determining cytotoxicity, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane integrity, and caspase-3 activation. Compounds 2b bearing 4-nitrophenyl, 2c bearing phenyl, and 2d bearing 4-cyanophenyl moieties were specified with high anticancer activity, acting through an apoptotic pathway with an apoptosis ratio of 9.61%-15.59%. Mitochondrial membrane depolarization was determined to be 25.53% and 22.33% for compounds 2b and 2c, respectively. Furthermore, compound 2c exhibited excellent caspase-3 activation. A molecular docking study was realized with compound 2c on the caspase-3 enzyme. Furthermore, the electronic characteristics of the active compounds were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level. The frontier molecular orbital energy and atomic net charges were examined.

Antimicrobial Activity and DFT Studies of a Novel Set of Spiropyrrolidines Tethered with Thiochroman-4-one/Chroman-4-one Scaffolds. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27030582. [PMID: 35163847 PMCID: PMC8839074 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27030582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Revised: 12/03/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
A novel series of 14 spiropyrrolidines bearing thiochroman-4-one/chroman-4-one, and oxindole/acenaphthylene-1,2-dione moieties were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques, as well as by three X-ray diffraction studies, corroborating the stereochemistry. Quantum chemical calculations studies, using the DFT approach, were performed to rationalize the stereochemical outcome. These N-heterocycles were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against some pathogenic organisms. Several compounds displayed moderate to excellent activity towards the screened microbe strains in the study compared to Amoxicillin (AMX), Ampicillin (AMP), and Amphotericin B. Furthermore, a structural activity relationship (SAR) was established considering the synthesized compounds. Pharmacokinetic studies reveal that these derivatives exhibit an acceptable predictive ADMET profile (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity) and good drug-likeness.
