Exploring the anticancer potential of new 3-cyanopyridine derivatives bearing N-acylhydrazone motif: Synthesis, DFT calculations, cytotoxic evaluation, molecular modeling, and antioxidant properties. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2024; 38:e23819. [PMID: 39180345 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.23819] [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: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024]
Abstract
3-Cyanopyridine derivatives are known for exhibiting excellent anticancer activity due to their strong capability to inhibit various biological targets, including Pim-1 kinase, survivin, and tubulin polymerization. On the other hand, N-acylhydrazones (NAH) are known to be a very versatile motif in medicinal chemistry and drug design. Based on these data, we report in this paper, the synthesis of novel 3-cyanopyridines incorporating N-acyl hydrazine scaffold, the evaluation of their cytotoxicity on the breast (MCF-7) and ovarian (A-2780) cancer cell lines and their antioxidant properties. Excluding 4a and 4d, all tested molecules exhibited high cytotoxicity against A-2780, with IC50 values ranging from 1.14 to 1.76 µM. Conversely, only four molecules 3d, 4b, 4c, and 4d demonstrated cytotoxicity against MCF-7, with IC50 values ranging from 1.14 to 3.38 µM. On the other hand, all the tested molecules exhibited a moderate antioxidant capacity in both the DPPH and metal chelation assays. Docking and molecular dynamics studies revealed that 2d, 3d, and 4d are potential inhibitors of tubulin and the œstrogen receptor, which may explain their high cytotoxicity. These results are promising to study these newly synthesized 3-cyanopyridine-N-acylhydrazones in depth for use as potential anticancer candidates.

Abstract
This review article proposes a comprehensive report of the design strategies engaged in the development of various sulfur-bearing cytotoxic agents. The outcomes of various studies depict that the sulfur heterocyclic framework is a fundamental structure in diverse synthetic analogs representing a myriad scope of therapeutic activities. A number of five-, six- and seven-membered sulfur-containing heterocyclic scaffolds, such as thiazoles, thiadiazoles, thiazolidinediones, thiophenes, thiopyrans, benzothiazoles, benzothiophenes, thienopyrimidines, simple and modified phenothiazines, and thiazepines have been discussed. The subsequent studies of the derivatives unveiled their cytotoxic effects through multiple mechanisms (viz. inhibition of tyrosine kinases, topoisomerase I and II, tubulin, COX, DNA synthesis, and PI3K/Akt and Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathways), and several others. Thus, our concise illustration explains the design strategy and anticancer potential of these five- and six-membered sulfur-containing heterocyclic molecules along with a brief outline on seven-membered sulfur heterocycles. The thorough assessment of antiproliferative activities with the reference drug allows a proficient assessment of the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of the diversely synthesized molecules of the series.

Abstract
In this article, a synthesis of N’-(benzylidene)-2-(6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-1-yl)acetohydrazides and their structural interpretation by NMR experiments is described in an attempt to explain the duplication of some peaks in their 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra. Twenty new 6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline substituted N-acylhydrazones 6(a–t) were synthesized from 2-chloro-6-methylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (1) in four steps. 2-Chloro-6-methylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (1) afforded 6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline (2), which upon N-alkylation yielded 2-(6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-1-yl)acetate (3). The hydrazinolysis of 3 followed by the condensation of resulting 2-(6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-1-yl)acetohydrazide (4) with aromatic aldehydes gave N-acylhydrazones 6(a–t). Structures of the synthesized compounds were established by readily available techniques such as FT-IR, NMR and mass spectral studies. The stereochemical behavior of 6(a–t) was studied in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 solvent by means of 1H NMR and 13C NMR techniques at room temperature. NMR spectra revealed the presence of N’-(benzylidene)-2-(6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-1-yl)acetohydrazides as a mixture of two conformers, i.e., E(C=N)(N-N) synperiplanar and E(C=N)(N-N)antiperiplanar at room temperature in DMSO-d6. The ratio of both conformers was also calculated and E(C=N) (N-N) syn-periplanar conformer was established to be in higher percentage in equilibrium with the E(C=N) (N-N)anti-periplanar form.

Evaluation of trypanocidal properties of ferrocenyl and cyrhetrenyl N-acylhydrazones with pendant 5-nitrofuryl group. J Inorg Biochem 2021; 219:111428.

Abstract
Four N-acylhydrazones of general formulae [R1-C(O)-NH-N=C(R2)(5-nitrofuryl)] with (R1 = ferrocenyl or cyrhetrenyl and R2 = H or Me) are synthesized and characterized in solution and in the solid-state. Comparative studies of their stability in solution under different experimental conditions and their electrochemical properties are reported. NMR studies reveal that the four compounds are stable in DMSO‑d6 and complementary UV-Vis studies confirm that they also exhibit high stability in mixtures DMSO:H2O at 37 °C. Electrochemical studies show that the half-wave potential of the nitro group of the N-acylhydrazones is smaller than that of the standard drug nifurtimox and the reduction process follows a self-protonation mechanism. In vitro studies on the antiparasitic activities of the four complexes and the nifurtimox against Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei reveal that: i) the N-acylhydrazones have a potent inhibitory growth activity against both parasites [EC50 in the low micromolar (in T. cruzi) or even in the nanomolar (in T. brucei) range] and ii) cyrhetrenyl derivatives are more effective than their ferrocenyl analogs. Parallel studies on the L6 rat skeletal myoblast cell line have also been conducted, and the selectivity indexes determined. Three of the four N-acylhydrazones showed higher selectivity towards T. brucei than the standard drug nifurtimox. Additional studies suggest that the organometallic compounds are bioactivated by type I nitroreductase enzymes.

Abstract
A new Cu(II) complex is synthetized by the reaction of copper nitrate and a N-acylhydrazone ligand obtained from the condensation of o-vanillin and 2-thiophecarbohydrazide (H2L). The solid-state structure of [Cu(HL)(H2O)](NO3)·H2O, or CuHL for simplicity, was determined by X-ray diffraction. In the cationic complex, the copper center is in a nearly squared planar environment with the nitrate interacting as a counterion. CuHL was characterized by spectroscopic techniques, including solid-state FTIR, Raman, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and diffuse reflectance and solution UV-Vis electronic spectroscopy. Calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) assisted the interpretation and assignment of the spectroscopic data. The complex does not show relevant antioxidant activity evaluated by the radical cation of 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) method, being even less active than the free ligand as a radical quencher. Cytotoxicity assays of CuHL against three human tumor cell lines, namely MG-63, A549 and HT-29, revealed an important enhancement of the effectiveness as compared with both the ligand and the free metal ion. Moreover, its cytotoxic effect was remarkably stronger than that of the reference metallodrug cisplatin in all cancer cell lines tested, a promissory result in the search for new metallodrugs of essential transition metals.

Abstract
The present manuscript describes the synthesis, α-amylase inhibition, in silico studies and in-depth quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of a library of aroyl hydrazones based on benzothiazole skeleton. All the compounds of the developed library are characterized by various spectral techniques. α-Amylase inhibitory potential of all compounds has been explored, where compound 7n exhibits remarkable α-amylase inhibition of 87.5% at 50 µg/mL. Robust QSAR models are made by using the balance of correlation method in CORAL software. The chemical structures at different concentration with optimal descriptors are represented by SMILES. A data set of 66 SMILES of 22 hydrazones at three distinct concentrations are prepared. The significance of the index of ideality of correlation (IIC) with applicability domain (AD) is also studied at depth. A QSAR model with best Rvalidation2 = 0.8587 for split 1 is considered as a leading model. The outliers and promoters of increase and decrease of endpoint are also extracted. The binding modes of the most active compound, that is, 7n in the active site of Aspergillus oryzae α-amylase (PDB ID: 7TAA) are also explored by in silico molecular docking studies. Compound 7n displays high resemblance in binding mode and pose with the standard drug acarbose. Molecular dynamics simulations performed on protein-ligand complex for 100 ns, the protein gets stabilised after 20 ns and remained below 2 Å for the remaining simulation. Moreover, the deviation observed in RMSF during simulation for each amino acid residue with respect to Cα carbon atom is insignificant.

Abstract
2-substituted thiophene compounds with electron donating and electron withdrawing p-phenyl substitution were synthesized and studied their radical scavenging properties using DPPH assay and DFT method. It is shown that p-hydroxy and p-amino phenyl substituted compound exhibit radical scavenging activity. From DFT and radical scavenging studies, a correlation between IC50 with the bond dissociation enthalpy, proton affinity, ground state dipole moment and optical band gap of compound is found. Compounds 1-3 with electron withdrawing substituent (NO2, CN, Cl) do not show any radical scavenging properties, whereas compounds 6-7 with electron donating substituent (OH, NH2) show antiradical properties. Further, the antiradical activity is reduced drastically by replacing the -OH and -NH2 with methoxy and -N-alkylating group respectively in 6 and 7. The compound with p-hydroxy phenyl substitution, exhibits stronger antiradical activity as compared to the p-amino phenyl substitution due to smaller O-H bond dissociation energy as compared to the N-H bond. From DPPH and DFT studies, it is suggested that the radical scavenging activity in 2-substituted thiophene is occurred through proton transfer mechanism. The other possible SET, SPLET mechanisms are also corroborated.

(yields: 42-76%) using microwave irradiation is described, as well as their full characterization.
Their potential antineoplastic activity was evaluated in vitro via EMSA by testing protein-
DNA interactions. Among the 11 compounds tested, N-acylhydrazone derivative 5 bearing a hydroxyl
group, showed the highest affinity to bind and inhibit the hnRNP K KH3 domain. Docking simulations
of compound 5 showed three possible modes of interaction between the KH3 domain of hnRNP K protein
and compound predict.
:
The N-acylhydrazones are knows as powerful chemical entities for Medicinal Chemistry, since it has
been identified in a huge number of hit and lead compounds that act on various types of molecular targets,
including in tumorigenesis processes.
Objective:
We evaluated their potential ability to inhibit the KH3 domain of the hnRNP K protein binding
to single stranded DNA (ssDNA). Furthermore, a docking simulation was performed for the newly
synthetized compounds to evaluate their interactions between proteins and N-acylhydrazine derivative.
Methods:
The N-acylhydrazone derivatives were synthetized through three reaction steps, from a simple
and commercial substrate, using microwave irradiation as a green energy source. The N-acylhydrazone
derivatives ability to bind with the hnRNP K protein was evaluated via EMSA by testing protein-DNA
interactions. The docking simulations were performed in a Gold 5.2.2 software using 100 conformers,
10.000 operations, 95 mutations and 95 crossovers.
Results:
Eleven new N-acylhydrazone derivatives were synthetized using microwave showing yields
between 42% and 76%. Among the eleven compounds tested, compound 5 was shown to be most
capable to prevent the natural binding of hnRNP K protein to the oligonucleotide. Regarding the docking
simulation, compound 5 can bind to the main binding residues of KH3 domain and compete with the
natural ligand ssDNA of this protein.
Conclusion:
A green and efficient synthetic methodology for a wide family of N-acylhydrazones
(yields: 42-76%) using microwave irradiation is described, as well as their full characterization. Their
potential antineoplastic activity was evaluated in vitro via EMSA by testing protein-DNA interactions.
Among the 11 compounds tested, N-acylhydrazone derivative 5 bearing a hydroxyl group, showed the
highest affinity to bind and inhibit the hnRNP K KH3 domain. Docking simulations of compound 5
showed three possible modes of interaction between the KH3 domain of hnRNP K protein and compound
predict.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds hold a pivotal place in medicinal chemistry due to their wide range of biological activities and thus, are exhaustively explored in the field of drug design and development. Continuous efforts are being carried out for the development of medicinal agents especially, for dreadful diseases like cancer. Thiophene, a sulfur containing heterocyclic scaffold, has emerged as one of the relatively well-explored scaffold for the development of library of molecules having potential anticancer profile. Thiophene analogs have been reported to bind with a wide range of cancer-specific protein targets, depending on the nature and position of substitutions. Accordingly, thiophene analogs have been reported to cause their biological action through inhibition of different signaling pathways involved in cancer. Functionally, different anticancer targets require different structural features, so researchers have tried to synthesize new thiophene derivatives with varied substitutions. In the present review, authors have presented the information available on thiophene-based molecules as anticancer agents with special focus on synthetic methodologies, biological profile and structure activity relationship (SAR) studies. Various patents granted for thiophene containing molecules as anticancer have also been included.

Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24162950. [PMID: 31416271 PMCID: PMC6720801 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24162950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2019] [Revised: 08/07/2019] [Accepted: 08/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Utilizing a pharmacophore hybridization approach, we have designed and synthesized a novel series of 28 new heterobivalent β-carbolines. The in vitro cytotoxic potential of each compound was evaluated against the five cancer cell lines (LLC, BGC-823, CT-26, Bel-7402, and MCF-7) of different origin—murine and human, with the aim of determining the potency and selectivity of the compounds. Compound 8z showed antitumor activities with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 9.9 ± 0.9, 8.6 ± 1.4, 6.2 ± 2.5, 9.9 ± 0.5, and 5.7 ± 1.2 µM against the tested five cancer cell lines. Moreover, the effect of compound 8z on the angiogenesis process was investigated using a chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) in vivo model. At a concentration of 5 μM, compound 8z showed a positive effect on angiogenesis. The results of this study contribute to the further elucidation of the biological regulatory role of heterobivalent β-carbolines and provide helpful information on the development of vascular targeting antitumor drugs.

Abstract
The syntheses and crystal structures of (E)-N'-(3-cyano-benzyl-idene)-N-methyl-2-(thio-phen-2-yl)acetohydrazide, C15H13N3OS, (I), and (E)-N'-(4-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-N-methyl-2-(thio-phen-2-yl)acetohydrazide, C15H16N2O2S, (II), with different substituents in the meta and para position of the benzene ring are described. Compounds (I) and (II) both crystallize with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, with generally similar conformations [r.m.s. overlay fits for (I) and (II) of 0.334 and 0.280 Å, respectively] that approximate to L-shapes. The thio-phene rings in (I) are well ordered, whereas those in (II) exhibit 'flip' rotational disorder [occupancies 0.662 (2) and 0.338 (2) for mol-ecule 1, and 0.549 (3) and 0.451 (3) for mol-ecule 2]. The packing for (I) features short C-H⋯O inter-actions arising from the C-H grouping adjacent to the cyanide group and C-H⋯Nc (c = cyanide) links arising from the methine groups to generate [110] double chains. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions inter-link the chains into a three-dimensional network. The packing for (II) features numerous C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions arising from different donor groups to generate a three-dimensional network. Hirshfeld fingerprint plots indicate significant differences in the percentage contact surfaces for (I) and (II).
