CoFe 2O 4@SiO 2-NH 2@MOF-5 magnetic nanocatalyst for the synthesis of biologically active quinazoline derivatives. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 236:116708. [PMID: 37482130 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offered excellent catalytic activity due to their superior porosity, and high densities of catalytic sites in remarkable specific surfaces. In this research, we prepared a magnetic nanocomposite based on MOF-5 which is one of the prominent and practical structures that have been reported in many applications, and investigated the advantages of it as a catalyst. The multi-functional catalyst was prepared in five steps including (1) preparation of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4), (2) surface modification of cobalt ferrite using tetraethyl orthosilicate, (3) surface functionalization using 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane, (4) preparation of MOF-5, (5) preparation of CoFe2O4@SiO2-NH2@MOF-5 nanocomposite. The resulting catalyst was evaluated by FTIR, FESEM, EDX, XRD, and VSM analyses. The CoFe2O4@SiO2-NH2@MOF-5 nanocomposite was applied as a catalyst for the quinazoline derivatives' synthesis. Various products were prepared with significant yields (90-98%) in short reaction times (20-60 min) without difficult work-up. In addition, the magnetic behavior of the catalyst allows it to be collected and recycled by a magnet and applied for six consecutive cycles without significantly reducing its efficiency. Quinazoline derivatives showed significant biological activities so their antioxidant activity was between 23.7% and 88.9% and their antimicrobial activity was in contradiction of E. coli, S. enterica, L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, and E. faecalis.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2022; 67:128731. [PMID: 35421577 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2022.128731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Chemo-resistant cancer cells acquire robust growth potential through cell signaling mechanisms such as the down-regulation of tumor suppressors and the up-regulation of pro-survival proteins, respectively. To overcome chemo-resistance of cancer, small molecule drugs that interact with the cell signaling proteins to enhance sensitization of cancer cells toward cancer therapies are likely to be effective for the treatment of chemo-drug resistant cancer. To identify high potency small molecules, a series of ten novel phenylquinazoline derivatives were synthesized to determine their cellular effects in MCF-7 and MCF-7- cisplatin-resistant (CR) human breast cancer cells which led to the identification of two bioactive compounds, SMS-IV-20 and SMS-IV-40, that exhibited an elevated level of cytotoxicity against the human breast cancer cells and spheroid cells. In addition, both compounds enhanced chemo-sensitization of the human breast cancer cells that were genetically engineered to express the tumor suppressor and pro-apoptotic proteins, MOAP-1, Bax, and RASSF1a (MBR), suggesting that the compounds interact with the MBR signaling pathway. Furthermore, when MCF-7-CR cells were treated with SMS-IV-20 and SMS-IV-40 in the presence of ABT-737, a BCL-XL and BCL-2 inhibitor, enhanced chemo-sensitization was observed, suggesting SMS-IV-20 and SMS-IV-40 exert antagonistic activity to regulate the functional activity of BCL-2 and BCL-XL. Western blot analysis showed that both SMS-IV-20 and SMS-IV-40 induced down-regulation of BCL-2 or both BCl-2 and BCL-XL expression, respectively while promoting the release of mitochondrial Cytochrome C. Taken together, the data showed that SMS-IV-20 and SMS-IV-40 are potent activators of apoptosis that enhance chemo-sensitization through their antagonistic actions on the pro-survival activity of the BCl-2 family in human cancer cells.

Beilstein J Org Chem 2020; 16:1142-1153. [PMID: 32550929 PMCID: PMC7277797 DOI: 10.3762/bjoc.16.101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Three compounds, bearing a quinazoline unit as the acceptor core and carbazole, dimethyldihydroacridine, or phenothiazine donor moieties, were designed and synthesized in two steps including a facile copper-catalyzed cyclization and a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The photophysical properties of the compounds, based on theoretical calculations and experimental measurements, as well as the electrochemical and thermal properties, are discussed. The synthesized compounds form glasses with glass-transition temperatures ranging from 116 °C to 123 °C. The ionization potentials estimated by cyclic voltammetry of the derivatives were in the range of 5.22-5.87 eV. The 3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazole-substituted quinazoline-based compound forms a sky-blue emitting exciplex in solid mixture with the acceptor 2,4,6-tris[3-(diphenylphosphinyl)phenyl]-1,3,5-triazine as well as an orange emitting exciplex with the donor 4,4',4″-tris[3-methylphenyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine. A white OLED based on these versatile exciplex systems with a relatively high maximum brightness of 3030 cd/m2 and an external quantum efficiency of 0.5% was fabricated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During last recent years number of anti-tubulin agents were introduced for treatment of diverse kind of cancer. Despite of their potential in treatment of cancer, drug resistance and adverse toxicity such as peripheral neuropathy are some of the negative criteria of anti-tubulin agents. METHODS Twenty seven quinazoline derivatives were synthesized using a multicomponent reaction. The cytotoxicity of compounds 1-27 was tested in SRB assays employing five different human tumor cell lines. Effect of two of active compounds on tubulin polymerization was also checked using a commercially available assay kit. Molecular modelling studies were also performed using autodock tools software. RESULTS SRB assays showed that compounds 2, 9, 16 and 26, being highly cytotoxic with IC50 values ranging between 2.1 and 14.3µM. The possible mode of action of compounds, 2, 9, 16 and 26, and the taxol binding site of the protein tubulin, an important goal for antimitotic drugs, was also studied by molecular docking, which showed reasonable interactions with tubulin active site, followed by investigation of the effects of compounds 9 and 16 on the polymerization of tubulin. The results showed the tested compounds to be highly active as inducers of tubulin polymerization. CONCLUSION Altogether, with respect to obtained results, it is attractive and beneficial to further investigation on quinazoline scaffold as antimitotic agents.
