Novel tropane analogues as Hsp90 inhibitors targeting colon cancer: Synthesis, biological estimation, and molecular docking study. Bioorg Chem 2024; 150:107497. [PMID: 38852311 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
New derivatives of tropane scaffold were prepared from the reaction of their thione or thioamide derivatives with α-halocarbonyl compounds. The structures of all new derivatives were assured and proved with their spectral data. The novel tropane derivatives were examined for their cytotoxicity on two colon tumor cell lines; Caco2 and HCT116 cells. The most active compounds 3, 4, 5, 9d and 14a displayed significant antitumor activities with IC50 range of 9.50 - 30.15 μM compared to doxorubicin. Moreover, they revealed reduced cytotoxic effect on WI-38 normal ones, signifying their great safety. With the aim of better understanding the inhibitory potential of such compounds on heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90), there activities were assessed against such enzyme demonstrating high inhibitory activities with IC50 range of 56.58-78.85 nM. Western blotting was carried out to ensure the inhibitory activity on Hsp90, results showed that 3 markedly suppressed Hsp90 expression on Caco2 cell line. Additionally, a molecular docking analysis of the most potent derivatives at the Hsp90 binding site was carried out in order to approve the performed in vitro assays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterocyclic materials-containing thiazoles exhibited incredible importance in pharmaceutical chemistry and drug design due to their extensive biological properties. METHODS Synthesis of thiazoles and bis-thiazoles from the reaction of 2-((6-Nitrobenzo[ d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methylene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide with hydrazonoyl chlorides in dioxane and in the existence of triethylamine as basic catalyst. The antioxidant, in vitro antiproliferative, and cytotoxicity efficacy of thiazoles and bis-thiazoles were measured. RESULTS In this work, novel series of 5-methyl-2-(2-(-(6-nitrobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methylene) hydrazinyl)-4-(aryldiazenyl)thiazoles (4a-f) were prepared via the reaction of hydrazonoyl chlorides 2a-f with 2-((6-nitrobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methylene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (1) in dioxane and employing triethylamine as basic catalyst. Following the same procedure, bisthiazoles (6, 8, and 10) have been synthesized by utilizing bis-hydrazonoyl chlorides (5, 7, and 9) and carbothioamide 1 in a molar ratio (1:2), respectively. The distinctive features in the structure of isolated products were elucidated by spectroscopic tools and elemental analyses. The antioxidant, in vitro anti-proliferative, cytotoxicity, and anti-cancer efficacy of thiazoles and bis-thiazoles were evaluated. Compounds 4d and 4f were the most potent antioxidant agents. Gene expression of apoptosis markers and fragmentation assay of DNA were assessed to explore the biochemical mechanism of synthesized products. Thiazoles significantly inhibited cell growth and proliferation more than bis-thiazoles. They induced apoptosis through induction of apoptotic gene expression P53 and downregulation of antiapoptotic gene expression Bcl-2. Moreover, they induced fragmentation of DNA in cancer cells, indicating that they could be employed as anticancer agents by inhibiting tumor growth and progression and can be considered effective compounds in the strategy of anti-cancer agents' discovery. CONCLUSION Synthesis, DPPH Radical Scavenging, Cytotoxic activity, and Apoptosis Induction Efficacy based on Novel Thiazoles and Bis-thiazoles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since CDKs have been demonstrated to be overexpressed in a wide spectrum of human malignancies, their inhibition has been cited as an effective technique for anticancer drug development. METHODS In this context, new bis-oxindole/spiro-triazole-oxindole anti-breast cancer drugs with potential CDK4 inhibitory effects were produced in this work. The novel series of bis-oxindole/spirotriazole- oxindole were synthesized from the reaction of bis-oxindole with the aniline derivatives then followed by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of hydrazonoyl chloride. RESULTS The structure of these bis-oxindole/spiro-triazole-oxindole series was proven based on their spectral analyses. Most bis-oxindole and bis-spiro-triazole-oxindole compounds effectively inhibited the growth of MCF-7 (IC50 = 2.81-17.61 μM) and MDA-MB-231 (IC50 = 3.23-7.98 μM) breast cancer cell lines with low inhibitory activity against normal WI-38 cells. While the reference doxorubicin showed IC50 values of 7.43 μM against MCF-7 and 5.71 μM against the MDA-MB-231 cell line. Additionally, compounds 3b, 3c, 6b, and 6d revealed significant anti-CDK4 activity (IC50 = 0.157- 0.618 μM) compared to palbociclib (IC50 = 0.071 μM). Subsequent mechanistic investigations demonstrated that 3c was able to trigger tumor cell death through the induction of apoptosis. Moreover, it stimulated cancer cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. Furthermore, western blotting disclosed that the 3c-induced cell cycle arrest may be mediated through p21 upregulation. CONCLUSION According to all of the findings, bis-oxindole 3c shows promise as a cancer treatment targeting CDK4.

Abstract
With the aim of developing cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitors with strong antibreast cancer efficacy, new tricyclic and tetracyclic benzo[6,7]cycloheptane derivatives were synthesized. The newly synthesized tri- and tetracyclic derivatives were achieved from the reaction of 4-(4-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-1,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-d]pyrimidine-2-thione (5) with α-haloketone derivatives as hydrazonyl chlorides, phenacyl bromide derivatives, chloroacetone, and ethyl substituted acetate derivatives. The MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines were utilized to examine the anticancer properties. Compounds 5 and 8 were shown to be the most effective, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) values between 5.73 and 9.11 µM, which are on the level with doxorubicin. Mechanistic studies showed that 5 and 8 caused tumor cell death by inducing apoptosis and they also produced cancer arrest in the S phase of the cell cycle. In addition, compounds 5 and 8 showed strong anti-CDK2 action (IC50 = 0.112 and 0.18 µM, respectively) comparable to roscovitine (IC50 = 0.127 µM). Moreover, the docking result demonstrated that derivatives 5 and 8 fit into the CDK2 active site in the proper orientation.

Abstract
Two new series of thiazole and formazan linked to 5-Bromo-indan were synthesized, and their structures were assured based on all possible analytical techniques. The size of the tested derivatives was calculated from the XRD technique and found five derivatives 3, 10a, 14a, 15, and 16 on the nanosized scale. The two series were tested for their efficacy and toxicity as anti-colon and stomach cancers. Derivative 10d showed activity more than the two reference drugs used in the case of SNU-16. Surpislly, in the case of COLO205, five derivatives 4, 6c, 6d, 6e, and 10a are better than the two benchmarks used, and two derivatives, 14a and 14b more potent than cisplatin. All potent derivatives showed a strong fit with the active site of the two tested proteins (gastric cancer (PDB = 2BID) and colon cancer (PDB = 2A4L)) in the molecular docking study. The Pharmacophore and ADME studies of the new derivatives showed that most derivatives revealed promising bioactivity, which indicates the drug-likeness properties against kinase inhibitors, protease, and enzyme inhibitors. In addition, the ProTox-II showed that the four compounds 10d, 16, 6d, and 10a are predicted to have oral LD50 values ranging from 335 to 3500 mg/kg in a rat model with (1 s,4 s)-Eucalyptol bearing the highest values and quercetin holding the lowest one.

Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of benzofurans in the presence of a heterogeneous non-noble metal catalyst is reported. The developed optimal catalytic material consists of cobalt-cobalt oxide core-shell nanoparticles supported on silica, which has been prepared by the immobilization and pyrolysis of cobalt-DABCO-citric acid complex on silica under argon at 800 °C. This novel catalyst allows for the selective hydrogenation of simple and functionalized benzofurans to 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans as well as related heterocycles. The versatility of the reported protocol is showcased by the reduction of selected drugs and deuteration of heterocycles. Further, the stability, recycling, and reusability of the Co-nanocatalyst are demonstrated.

Abstract
Isatin, chemically an indole-1H-2,3-dione, is recognised as one of the most attractive therapeutic fragments in drug design and development. The template has turned out to be exceptionally useful for developing new anticancer scaffolds, as evidenced by the increasing number of isatin-based molecules which are either in clinical use or in trials. Apart from its promising antiproliferative properties, isatin has shown potential in treating Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) not only as a parent core, but also by attenuating the activities of various pharmacophores. The objective of this mini-review is to keep readers up to date on the latest developments in the biological potential of isatin-based scaffolds, targeting cancer and NTDs such as tuberculosis, malaria, and microbial infections.

Abstract
Compounds containing both thiazole and arylsulfone moieties are recognized for their high biological activity and ability to fight a variety of ailments. Thus, in this context, new derivatives of (thiazol-2-yl)hydrazone with an arylsulfone moiety were synthesized as CPTH2 analogs with potent anti-histone lysine acetyl-transferase activity. Compounds 3, 4, 10b, and 11b showed an excellent inhibitory effect on P300 (E1A-associated protein p300), compared to CPTH2. Among all the tested derivatives, compound 10b revealed the highest activity against both P300 and pCAF. In addition, the new hits were tested for anticancer efficacy against two leukemia cell lines. Most of them showed a moderate to potent antitumor effect on the k562 and CCRF-CEM cell lines. Interestingly, the activity of compound 10b against the k562 cell line was found to be higher than that of CPTH2. Furthermore, it showed a good safety profile, better than CPTH2 on normal cells. Molecular docking analysis was carried out to reveal the crucial binding contacts in the inhibition of the P300 and pCAF enzymes.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:27355-27369. [PMID: 36276003 PMCID: PMC9513682 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra03624j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Novel thiazole derivatives possessing phenyl sulfonyl moiety were designed and synthesized as B-RAFV600E kinase inhibitors based on the clinically-approved anticancer drug, dabrafenib. All target compounds showed significant inhibition of B-RAFV600E kinase enzyme at nanomolar levels. Compounds 7b and 13a revealed excellent B-RAFV600E inhibitory activity, superior to that of dabrafenib with IC50 values of 36.3 ± 1.9, 23.1 ± 1.2, and 47.2 ± 2.5 nM, respectively. Moreover, the title compounds were much more selective toward B-RAFV600E kinase than B-RAF wild type. In addition, the most potent compounds were further evaluated for their anticancer activity against B-RAFV600E-mutated and wild type melanoma cells. A positive correlation between the cytotoxic activity and selectivity for B-RAF V600E over B-RAF wild type was clearly observed for compounds 7b, 11c, 13a, and 17. All the screened compounds potently inhibited the growth of WM266.4 melanoma cells with IC50 values in the range from 1.24 to 17.1 μM relative to dabrafenib (IC50 = 16.5 ± 0.91 μM). Compounds 7b, 11a and 11c, 13a, and 17 were much more potent than dabrafenib against B-RAFV600E-mutated WM266.4 melanoma cells. Furthermore, compound 7b suppressed the phosphorylation of downstream ERK1/2 from WM266.4 cells. Also, the docking study revealed the proper orientation and well-fitting of the title compounds into the ATP binding site of B-RAFV600E kinase. Thiazole derivatives 7b and 13a were superior to dabrafenib against B-RAFV600E kinase and potently inhibited the growth of WM266.4 melanoma cells. Compound 7b suppressed the phosphorylation of downstream ERK1/2 from WM266.4 cells.![]()

Abstract
Based on the structural study of previously known CDK2 inhibitors, a new series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives was designed and synthesized. The target compounds were biologically assessed as potent CDK2 inhibitors and promising anti-leukemia hits. The 7-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-3-(3-chloro/2-chloro-phenylazo)-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-ylamines 5 h and 5i revealed the best CDK2 inhibitory activity with comparable potency (IC50 = 22 and 24 nM, respectively) to that of dinaciclib (IC50 = 18 nM). Additionally, both analogues showed potent activities against CDK1, CDK5 and CDK9 at nanomolar concentrations (IC50 = 28-80 nM). The anti-leukemia screening of the target compounds showed strong to moderate cytotoxicity against the used leukemia cell lines (MOLT-4 and HL-60). Compound 5 h inhibited MOLT-4 and HL-60 by 1.4 and 2.3 folds (IC50 = 0.93 and 0.80 µM), respectively, compared to dinaciclib (IC50 = 1.30 and 1.84 µM). Furthermore, compound 5i was comparable to dinaciclib against MOLT-4 and exhibited twice its activity against HL-60. Besides, the cytotoxicity of the promising analogues on normal human blood cells indicated the safety of 5h and 5i as compared to the reference dinaciclib. The pharmacokinetic properties of 5h and 5i were predicted using ADME calculations revealing good oral bioavailability and high GI absorption. The molecular docking simulations indicated, as expected, that the dinaciclib analogues can well-accommodate the CDK2 binding site, forming a variety of interactions.

Hydrazonoyl bromide precursors as DHFR inhibitors for the synthesis of bis-thiazolyl pyrazole derivatives; antimicrobial activities, antibiofilm, and drug combination studies against MRSA. Bioorg Chem 2021; 116:105339.

Abstract
Microbial resistance is a big concern worldwide, making the development of new antimicrobial drugs difficult. The thiazole and pyrazole rings are important heterocyclic compounds utilized to produce a variety of antimicrobial medications. As a result, a series of new bis-thiazolyl-pyrazole derivatives 3, 4a-c, 5a, b, and 6a-c was synthesized by reacting bis hydrazonoyl bromide with several active methylene reagents in a one-pot reaction. The assigned structure was characterized entirely based on elemental and spectral analyses. The antimicrobial activity represented by MIC was performed using a resazurin-based turbidimetric (TB) assay. The results exhibited good antimicrobial activity against gram-positive strains, especially S. aureus (ATCC6538) while showing poor to moderate activity against gram-negative and fungal strains. Furthermore, the most active derivatives 3, 4a, 4c, and 5b were evaluated for MIC, MBC, antibiofilm, hemolytic assay, and drug combination testing against two S. aureus (ATCC6538) and MRSA (ACL18) strains. Additionally, bis-thiazolyl pyrazole 3, 4c, and 5b exhibited more potent inhibitory activity for DHFR with IC50 values (6.34 ± 0.26, 7.49 ± 0.28, and 3.81 ± 0.16 µM), respectively, compared with Trimethoprim (8.34 ± 0.11 µM). The bis-1-(substituted-thiazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile derivative 5b was the most active member with MIC values ranging from (0.12-0.25 µM) compared to Vancomycin (1-2 µM), and MBC values ranging from (0.5-1 µM) for S. aureus (ATCC6538) and MRSA (ACL18). Surprisingly, compound 5b displayed bactericidal behavior, synergistic effect with three commercial antibiotics, and inhibited DHFR with 2.1 folds higher than Trimethoprim. Finally, good findings were obtained from in silico investigations incorporating toxicity prediction and molecular docking simulation.

Abstract
AIM To develop novel anti-breast cancer agents and discuss the structure-activity relationship of bis-isatin scaffolds. BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer. Bis-isatin scaffolds possess potential anti-breast cancer activity, and some of them such as Indirubin could induce cancer cells apoptosis via multiply mechanisms. OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of bis-isatin scaffolds with alkyl/ether linkers between the two isatin moieties against different human breast cancer cell lines including MCF-7, AU565, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-468 cells. METHODS The synthesized bis-isatin scaffolds with alkyl/ether linker between the two isatin moieties were evaluated for their in vitro activity against MCF-7, AU565, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435, and MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer cell lines by MTT assay. RESULTS All the synthesized compounds (IC50: 38.3-197.6 µM) possess considerable activity against MCF-7, AU565, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435, and MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer cell lines, and the most potent compound 4e (IC50: 38.3-63.5 µM) was no inferior to Cisplatin (IC50: 20.1-38.6 μM) against the five tested human breast cancer cell lines. CONCLUSION All the synthesized bis-isatin scaffolds were active against a panel of breast cancer cell lines, highlighting the significance of exploring the bis-isatin scaffolds to fight against breast cancers. The enriched structure-activity relationship may set up the direction for the rational design and development of novel bis-isatin scaffolds with higher efficiency.

Abstract
An easy access to a series of N-phenylmorpholine derivatives linked with thiazole or formazan moieties were achieved using simple experimental procedure under conventional and microwaves irradiation conditions. The reaction of 2-(N-phenylmorpholine)ethylidene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide derivatives and [1-(4-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-ethylidene]-hydrazine with a variety of hydrazonoyl chlorides or phenacyl bromide derivatives afforded the corresponding thiazoles or N-substitutedhydrazino-derivatives linked to N-phenylmorpholine moiety in good to excellent yields. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were fully emphasized and characterized by spectroscopic as well as elemental analyses. The mode of binding of some selected compounds with SS-DNA was evaluated using UV-Vis absorption, and viscosity measurements. The results showed intercalation binding mode of most of the tested compounds. Both antimicrobial and anti-cancer activities have been studied for some selected compounds from synthetic derivatives. Their results showed a remarkable efficacy for some derivatives against both examined microbes and cancer cells.

Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy is frequently hampered by drug resistance, so the resistance to anticancer agents represents one of the major obstacles for the effective cancer treatment. Indole derivatives have the potential to act on diverse targets in cancer cells and exhibit promising activity against drug-resistant cancers. Moreover, some indole-containing compounds such as Semaxanib, Sunitinib, Vinorelbine, and Vinblastine have already been applied in clinics for various kinds of cancer even drug-resistant cancer therapy. Thus, indole derivatives are one of significant resources for the development of novel anti-drug-resistant cancer agents. This review focuses on the recent development of indole derivatives with potential therapeutic application for drug-resistant cancers, and the mechanisms of action, the critical aspects of design as well as structure-activity relationships, covering articles published from 2010 to 2020.

Abstract
The crucial need for novel antitumor agents with high selectivity toward cancer cells has promoted us to synthesize new series of thiazole-based chalcones and 4-hetarylthiazoles (rigid chalcones). The synthesis of thiazolyl chalcones and 4-hetarylthiazoles and the assertion of their structure are described. Their anti-proliferative activity was estimated against three human cancer cell lines; HepG-2, A549 and MCF-7. 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(5-methyl-2-(methylamino)thiazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (chalcone derivative 3a) showed significant and broad antitumor activity that was more potent than Doxorubicin. In addition, compounds 3d, 3e and 7a displayed potent activity compared to Doxorubicin. Additionally, these compounds were less toxic on normal lung cells WI-38 with high selectivity index. Further study on 3a regarding its effect on the normal cell cycle profile in A549 cells demonstrated cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase together with rise in the percentage of the apoptotic pre-G1 cells. CDK1/CDK2/CDK4 inhibition assays were carried out on 3a, 3d, 3e and 7a and the results revealed non selective inhibition on the tested CDKs with IC50 values of 0.78-1.97 µM. Moreover, docking study predicted that 3a, 3d, 3e and 7a can fit in the ATP binding site of CDK1 enzyme. The apoptosis induction potential of 3a, 3d, 3e and 7a was also estimated against some apoptosis markers. Interestingly, they elevated the level of Bax by 6.36-10.12 folds and reduced the expression of Bcl-2 by 1.94-4.12 folds compared to the control. Furthermore, they increased both active caspase-3 and p53 levels by 8.76-10.56 and 6.85-10.36 folds, respectively higher than the control which indicates their potential to induce apoptosis.

This is exemplified by the fact that several isatin-based anticancer agents, such as semaxanib, sunitinib, nintedanib, and hesperadin, are already in use or under clinical trials for the treatment of diverse kinds of cancers. Isatin-based hybrids could be obtained by incorporating other anticancer pharmacophores into the isatin skeleton and they have the potential to overcome drug resistance with reduced side effects. Thus, isatin-based hybrids may provide attractive scaffolds for the development of novel anticancer agents. This review covers the recent advances of isatin-based hybrids with anticancer activity, covering articles published between 2001 and 2019. The anticancer activities of these molecules and the structure-activity relationships are also discussed. The purpose of this review article is to set up the direction for the design and development of isatin-based hybrids with high efficacy and low toxicity.

Abstract
A novel series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ring systems containing phenylsulfonyl moiety have been synthesized via the reaction of 2-(phenylsulfonyl)-1-(4-(phenylsulfonyl) phenyl)ethan-1-one, 2-benzenesulfonyl-1-(4-benzenesulfonyl-phenyl)-3-dimethylamino-propenone and 3-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one each with various substituted aminoazopyrazole derivatives in one pot reaction strategy. The proposed structure as well as the mechanism of their reactions were discussed and proved with all possible spectral data. The results of antimicrobial activities of the new sulfone derivatives revealed that several derivatives showed activity exceeding the activity of reference drug. Contrary to expectations, we found that derivatives containing one sulfone group are more effective against all bacteria and fungi used than those contain two sulfone groups.

New Series of Thiazole Derivatives: Synthesis, Structural Elucidation, Antimicrobial Activity, Molecular Modeling and MOE Docking. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24091741.

Abstract
Based on the extensive biological activities of thiazole derivatives against different types of diseases, we are interested in the effective part of many natural compounds, so we synthesized a new series of compounds containing di-, tri- and tetrathiazole moieties. The formation of such derivatives proceeded via reaction of 2-bromo-1-(4-methyl-2-(methylamino)thiazol-5-yl)ethan-1-one with heterocyclic amines, o-aminothiophenol and thiosemicarbazone derivatives. The structure and mechanistic pathways for all products were discussed and proved based on spectral results, in addition to conformational studies. Our aim after the synthesis is to investigate their antimicrobial activity against various types of bacteria and fungi species. Preceeding such an investigation, a molecular docking study was carried out with selected conformers, as representative examples, against three pathogen-proteins. This preliminary stage could support the biological application. The potency of these compounds as antimicrobial agents has been evaluated. The results showed that derivatives which have di- and trithiazole rings displayed high activity that exceeds the used standard antibiotic.
