Abstract
Nowadays, antimicrobial therapies have become a very challenging issue because of a large diversity of reasons such as antimicrobial resistance, over consumption and misuse of antimicrobial agents, etc. A modern, actual and very useful approach in antimicrobial therapy is represented by the use of hybrid drugs, especially combined five and six-membered ring azaheterocycles. In this review, we present an overview of the recent advanced data from the last five years in the field of hybrid diazine compounds with antimicrobial activity. In this respect, we highlight here essential data concerning the synthesis and antimicrobial activity of the main classes of diazine hybrids: pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, and their fused derivatives.

Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modeling and Biological Evaluation of Novel Pyrazole Benzimidazolone Derivatives as Potent Antioxidants. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1648. [PMID: 38139775 PMCID: PMC10747449 DOI: 10.3390/ph16121648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present study, we used benzimidazolone as a starting material to efficiently synthesize several hybrid compounds of pyrazole benzimidazolone derivatives by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. These compounds were obtained in average yields and were characterized by NMR (1H and 13C) and HRMS analysis. The antioxidant activity of the synthesized compounds 5(a-c) and 6(a-c) was evaluated using in vitro reduction assays, including ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). The results indicated that products 5c, 6b, and 6c exhibit higher antioxidant activity compared to the reference compounds and showed a remarkable ability to effectively remove the radical at IC50 (14.00 ± 0.14, 12.47± 0.02, and 12.82 ± 0.10 µM, respectively) under the TAC assessment. Conversely, compound 6c showed excellent activity at IC50 (68.97 ± 0.26 µM) in the FRAP assay. We carried out molecular docking and dynamics simulations to investigate the binding mode and stability of 5c, 6b, and 6c in the active site of human Peroxiredoxin 5. An ADMET study was conducted to determine the drug properties of the synthesized compounds.

Abstract
A "building block" is a key component that plays a substantial and critical function in the pharmaceutical research and development industry. Given its structural versatility and ability to undergo substitutions at both the amino and carboxyl groups, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a commonly used building block in pharmaceuticals. Therefore, it is great for the development of a wide range of novel molecules with potential medical applications. Anticancer, anti-Alzheimer's, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties have been observed in PABA compounds, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents in future clinical trials. PABA-based therapeutic chemicals as molecular targets and their usage in biological processes are the primary focus of this review study. PABA's unique features make it a strong candidate for inclusion in a massive chemical database of molecules having drug-like effects. Based on the current literature, further investigation is needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PABA derivatives in clinical investigations and better understand the specific mechanism of action revealed by these compounds.

[PMID: 37744065 PMCID: PMC10511884 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1222047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Isoxazole belongs to the class of five-membered heterocyclic compounds. The process of developing new drugs has significantly gained attention due to inadequate pharmacokinetic and safety attributes of the available drugs. This study aimed to design a new diverse array of ten novel isoxazole derivatives via Claisen Schmidt condensation reaction. In vitro COX-1/2 anti-inflammatory assay, in silico molecular docking of potent compounds, Molecular docking simulation, and SwissADME pharmacokinetic profile were investigated in this research. The in vitro COX-1 and COX-2 enzyme inhibitory assay showed that almost all the tested compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory effects whereas C6, C5, and C3 were found to be the most potent COX-2 enzyme inhibitors among the tested compounds and are good candidates for selective COX-2 inhibitors. In silico molecular docking studies coupled with molecular dynamic simulation has been done to rationalize the time-evolved mode of interaction of selected inhibitor inside the active pockets of target COX-2. The binding orientations and binding energy results also showed the selectivity of compounds towards COX-2. Physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetic profile, lipophilicity, water solubility, drug metabolism, drug-likeness properties, and medicinal chemistry of the synthesized isoxazole derivatives were assessed. The SwissADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) database was used to assess the physicochemical properties and drug-likeness properties of the synthesized isoxazole derivatives. All the compounds were shown high GI absorption except Compound 7 (C7). Compound 1 (C1) and Compound 2 (C2) were found to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Lipinski's rule of five is not violated by any of the ten synthesized isoxazole derivatives. It was predicted with the SwissADME database that C2, C5, C6, C7, and C8 are potent inhibitors of cytochrome (CYP) subtype CYP-2C19. A subtype of CYP-2C9 was inhibited by C4 and C7. The medicinal chemistry of all the compounds C1-C10 showed no PAIN (Pan assay interference compounds) alerts. The improved gastrointestinal (GI) absorption and BBB permeability of C1 and C2 can provide a future prospective for new researchers in the medicinal field to investigate the compounds for the management of chronic diseases. The synthesized isoxazole compounds showed excellent in vitro COX-1/2 enzymes anti-inflammatory investigations, in silico studies, good physicochemical properties, and improved pharmacokinetic profile which will be further investigated via in vivo anti-inflammatory activities. Moreover, to further support our findings of the computational research and in vitro studies, an in-vivo pharmacokinetic profile is suggested in the future.

Powerful Potential of Polyfluoroalkyl-Containing 4-Arylhydrazinylidenepyrazol-3-ones for Pharmaceuticals. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 28:molecules28010059.

Abstract
4-Arylhydrazinylidene-5-(polyfluoroalkyl)pyrazol-3-ones (4-AHPs) were found to be obtained by the regiospecific cyclization of 2-arylhydrazinylidene-3-(polyfluoroalkyl)-3-oxoesters with hydrazines, by the azo coupling of 4-nonsubstituted pyrazol-5-oles with aryldiazonium chlorides or by the firstly discovered acid-promoted self-condensation of 2-arylhydrazinylidene-3-oxoesters. All the 4-AHPs had an acceptable ADME profile. Varying the substituents in 4-AHPs promoted the switching or combining of their biological activity. The polyfluoroalkyl residue in 4-AHPs led to the appearance of an anticarboxylesterase action in the micromolar range. An NH-fragment and/or methyl group instead of the polyfluoroalkyl one in the 4-AHPs promoted antioxidant properties in the ABTS, FRAP and ORAC tests, as well as anti-cancer activity against HeLa that was at the Doxorubicin level coupled with lower cytotoxicity against normal human fibroblasts. Some Ph-N-substituted 4-AHPs could inhibit the growth of N. gonorrhoeae bacteria at MIC 0.9 μg/mL. The possibility of using 4-AHPs for cell visualization was shown. Most of the 4-AHPs exhibited a pronounced analgesic effect in a hot plate test in vivo at and above the diclofenac and metamizole levels except for the ones with two chlorine atoms in the aryl group. The methylsulfonyl residue was proved to raise the anti-inflammatory effect also. A mechanism of the antinociceptive action of the 4-AHPs through blocking the TRPV1 receptor was proposed and confirmed using in vitro experiment and molecular docking.

Abstract
This paper has selected dicyclohexanocucurbit[6]uril (CyH2Q[6]) as the host and 2-phenylbenzimidazole (G) as the guest to investigate the host-guest interaction mode between CyH2Q[6] and G. Under acidic conditions, the complex was characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results show that the molecular ratio of CyH2Q[6] to G is 2 : 1. The crystals were cultured with ZnCl2 as a structural inducer under acidic conditions and single crystal X-ray diffraction showed that the molecular ratio of CyH2Q[6] to G is 1 : 3. The G@CyH2Q[6] was used as a fluorescent probe to identify metal cations. The probe exhibits a good selective recognition effect toward Fe3+ ions, which involves a reduced fluorescence intensity with a limit of detection of 1.321 × 10-6 mol l-1.

Abstract
Nowadays, nitrogenous heterocyclic molecules have attracted a great deal of interest among medicinal chemists. Among these potential heterocyclic drugs, benzimidazole scaffolds are considerably prevalent. Due to their isostructural pharmacophore of naturally occurring active biomolecules, benzimidazole derivatives have significant importance as chemotherapeutic agents in diverse clinical conditions. Researchers have synthesized plenty of benzimidazole derivatives in the last decades, amidst a large share of these compounds exerted excellent bioactivity against many ailments with outstanding bioavailability, safety, and stability profiles. In this comprehensive review, we have summarized the bioactivity of the benzimidazole derivatives reported in recent literature (2012-2021) with their available structure-activity relationship. Compounds bearing benzimidazole nucleus possess broad-spectrum pharmacological properties ranging from common antibacterial effects to the world's most virulent diseases. Several promising therapeutic candidates are undergoing human trials, and some of these are going to be approved for clinical use. However, notable challenges, such as drug resistance, costly and tedious synthetic methods, little structural information of receptors, lack of advanced software, and so on, are still viable to be overcome for further research.

Abstract
Benzimidazoles incorporated biologically active heterocycles such as quinoline, triazine-3-thione, thiazole and thiadiazole, were synthesized utilizing 2-acetylbenzimidazole as a building block. The structures of the newly synthesized benzimidazoles were assured by their spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, 13C- NMR and MS spectra). Most of the synthesized candidates were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus pumilus and antifungal activity against (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). As a result, 2-(2-(1-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazineyl)-5-(furan-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (14) had the most potent inhibitory activity against all tested bacteria with no antifungal inhibition. Furthermore, to gain insight into the mode of action of the synthesized compounds as antibacterial agents, docking studies were performed for the synthesized compounds in order to evaluate their activity as anti-bacterial agents. Virtual screening of the most promising compounds was performed against two bacterial proteins (DNA gyrase subunit B, and penicillin binding protein 1a) that are known targets for some antibiotics.

Isoxazole Derivatives as Regulators of Immune Functions. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23102724. [PMID: 30360408 PMCID: PMC6222914 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23102724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2018] [Revised: 10/18/2018] [Accepted: 10/20/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In this review, we present reports on the immunoregulatory properties of isoxazole derivatives classified into several categories, such as immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, and immunostimulatory compounds. The compounds were tested in various models using resident cells from rodents and humans, cell lines, and experimental animal disease models corresponding to human clinical situations. Beneficial features of the described isoxazole derivatives include low toxicity and good bioactivity at low doses. In a majority of studies, the activities of investigated compounds were comparable or even higher than registered reference drugs. Whenever possible, a plausible mechanism of action of the investigated compounds and their potential therapeutic utility were proposed. Among the described compounds, particular attention was paid to the class of immune stimulators with a potential application in chemotherapy patients.
