Abstract
Cancer is a life-threatening disease, and significant efforts are still being made to treat it. In this study, we synthesized and characterized novel hybrid molecules (10-18) containing hydrazone and sulfonate moieties and tested their cell growth inhibitory effect on human colon cancer cells (DLD-1), human prostate cancer cells (PC3), and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293T) using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method for 72 h. In cell culture studies, all tested hybrid molecules except for 12 and 13 showed significant cytotoxic activities at a micromolar level with IC50 values in the range of 10.28-214.0 μM for the PC3 cell line and 13.49-144.30 μM for the DLD-1 cell line. Compounds 4 (10.28 μM) and 5 (11.22 μM) demonstrated the highest cytotoxicity against the PC3 cell line. Against the DLD-1 cell line, compounds 1 (22.53 μM), 4 (13.49 μM), 5 (19.33 μM), 6 (17.82 μM), 8 (24.71 μM), 9 (17.56 μM), and 10 (17.90 μM) in the series showed anticancer activity at lower micromolar levels compared to cisplatin (26.70 μM). Moreover, the study was handled computationally, and molecular docking studies were performed for compounds 1, 4, and 5 for PC3-FAK and PC3-Scr and compounds 4, 6, and 9 for the DLD-1-TNKS target. In this study, compound 4 was found to be the most effective and promising molecule for both targets.

Abstract
Cancer is a global public health problem affecting millions of people every year. New anticancer drug candidates are needed to overcome the resistance to drugs used in the treatment of various types of cancer. In this study, two new series of benzenesulfonate-based thymol derivatives (14-19 and 20-25) were synthesized for the first time as promising chemotherapeutic agents and characterized using FT-IR, 1D NMR (1H- and 13C-NMR, APT, DEPT 135), 2D NMR (HETCOR and HMBC), and elemental analysis (CHNS). Antiproliferative activity of the molecules was determined against cancer cell lines, namely, the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) and the colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (DLD-1), using MTT method for both 48 and 72 h. Compounds (14-25) showed cytotoxic activities against A549 with IC50 values ranging from 9.98 to 81.83 μM, respectively, compared to cisplatin (6.65 μM). These compounds exhibited antiproliferative activities against DLD-1 cancer cells at concentrations ranging from 4.29 to 53.62 μM, respectively, compared to cisplatin (9.91 μM). Especially, compound 16 displayed significant cytotoxicity on A549 and DLD-1 cancer cells with IC50 values of 9.98 and 10.75 μM, respectively. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed with Bcl-2, VEGFR-2, EGFR, and HER2 targets using the Schrödinger 2021-2 Maestro Glide program. The binding energy values and binding interactions of compounds 16 and 22 were determined to be the result of their interactions with these targets. Schrödinger 2021-2 Qikprop wizard drug similarity ratios and ADME prediction of all compounds 14-25 were also calculated.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Para-Substituted Thiosemicarbazones as Cholinesterase Inhibitors: Synthesis, In Vitro Biological Evaluation, and In Silico Study. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:5116-5123. [PMID: 36777613 PMCID: PMC9910069 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c08108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The current research reports the synthesis of 14 para-substituted thiosemicarbazone derivatives in good to excellent yields using standard procedures. Initially, 4-ethoxybenzaldehyde (1) and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (2) were refluxed with thiosemicarbazide in the presence of acetic acid in ethanol for 4-5 h. Then, various substituted phenacyl bromides were treated with the desired thiosemicarbazones (3 and 4) in the presence of triethylamine in ethanol with constant stirring for 5-6 h. The resulting derivatives were confirmed through electron impact mass spectrometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy and evaluated for anticholinesterase inhibitory activity. Among the series, four compounds, 19, 17, 7, and 6, showed potent inhibitory activity against the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme, having IC50 values of 110.19 ± 2.32, 114.57 ± 0.15, 140.52 ± 0.11, and 160.04 ± 0.02 μM, respectively, compared with standard galantamine (IC50 = 104.5 ± 1.20 μM). Similarly, compounds 19 (IC50 = 145.11 ± 1.03 μM), 9 (IC50 = 147.20 ± 0.09 μM), 17 (IC50 = 150.36 ± 0.18 μM), and 6 (IC50 = 190.21 ± 0.13 μM) were the most excellent inhibitors of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) when compared with the standard drug galantamine (IC50 = 156.8 ± 1.50 μM). In silico studies were accomplished on the produced derivatives in order to explain the binding interface of compounds with the active sites of AChE and BChE enzymes.

Abstract
The strategy of utilizing nitrogen compounds in various biological applications has recently emerged as a powerful approach to exploring novel classes of therapeutics to face the challenge of diseases. A series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-based compounds 3a-l and 5a-f were prepared by the direct cyclo-condensation reaction of 5-amino-1H-pyrazoles 1a, b with 2-(arylidene)malononitriles and 3-(dimethylamino)-1-aryl-prop-2-en-1-ones, respectively. The structures of the new pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds were confirmed via spectroscopic techniques. The in vitro biological activities of all pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 3a-l and 5a-f were evaluated by assaying total antioxidant capacity, iron-reducing power, the scavenging activity against 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals, anti-diabetic, anti-Alzheimer, and anti-arthritic biological activities. All compounds displayed good to potent bioactivity, and three compounds 3g, 3h, and 3l displayed the most active derivatives. Among these derivatives, compound 3l exhibited the highest antioxidant (total antioxidant capacity [TAC] = 83.09 mg gallic acid/g; iron-reducing power [IRP] = 47.93 µg/ml) and free radicals scavenging activities with (DPPH = 18.77 µg/ml; ABTS = 40.44%) compared with ascorbic acid (DPPH = 4.28 µg/ml; ABTS = 38.84%). Furthermore, compound 3l demonstrated the strongest inhibition of α-amylase with a percent inhibition of 72.91 ± 0.14 compared to acarbose = 67.92 ± 0.09%. Similarly, it displayed acetylcholinesterase inhibition of 62.80 ± 0.06%. However, compound 3i showed a significantly higher inhibition percentage for protein denaturation and proteinase at 20.66 ± 0.00 and 26.42 ± 0.06%, respectively. Additionally, some in silico ADMET properties were predicted and studied. Finally, molecular docking simulation was performed inside the active site of α-amylase and acetylcholinesterase to study their interactions.

Abstract
In this study, two chiral Schiff base ligands (L1 and L2) were synthesized from the condensation reaction of (S)-2-amino-3-phenyl-1-propanol with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde as metal precursors for the preparation of transition metal complexes with Pd(II), Fe(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II). The compounds were characterized by using X-ray (for L1-Pd(II)), NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, and elemental analysis. The in vitro cytotoxic effects of ligands (L1 and L2) and their metal complexes on colon cancer cells (DLD-1), breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and healthy lung human cell lines were investigated by using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5‑diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Among the synthesized compounds, L1-Pd(II) was particularly found to be the most potent anticancer drug candidate in this series with IC50 values of 4.07, and 9.97 µM in DLD-1 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively. In addition, molecular docking results indicate that Glu122, Asn103, Ala104, Lys126, Phe114, Leu123, and Lys126 amino acids are the binding site of the colon cancer antigen protein, in which the most active complex, L1-Pd(II) can inhibit the current target.
