Molecules 2024; 29:2369. [PMID: 38792231 PMCID: PMC11124365 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29102369] [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: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Prediction of the antibacterial activity of new chemical compounds is an important task, due to the growing problem of bacterial drug resistance. Generalized linear models (GLMs) were created using 85 amidrazone derivatives based on the results of antimicrobial activity tests, determined as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Micrococcus luteus, Nocardia corallina, and Mycobacterium smegmatis. For the analysis of compounds characterized by experimentally measured MIC values, we included physicochemical properties (e.g., molecular weight, number of hydrogen donors and acceptors, topological polar surface area, compound percentages of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, melting points, and lipophilicity) as potential predictors. The presence of R1 and R2 substituents, as well as interactions between melting temperature and R1 or R2 substituents, were also considered. The set of potential predictors also included possible biological effects (e.g., antibacterial, antituberculotic) of tested compounds calculated with the PASS (Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances) program. Using GLMs with least absolute shrinkage and selection (LASSO), least-angle regression, and stepwise selection, statistically significant models with the optimal value of the adjusted determination coefficient and of seven fit criteria were chosen, e.g., Akaike's information criterion. The most often selected variables were as follows: molecular weight, PASS_antieczematic, PASS_anti-inflam, squared melting temperature, PASS_antitumor, and experimental lipophilicity. Additionally, relevant to the bacterial strain, the interactions between melting temperature and R1 or R2 substituents were selected, indicating that the relationship between MIC and melting temperature depends on the type of R1 or R2 substituent.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28093808. [PMID: 37175218 PMCID: PMC10180335 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28093808] [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: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
To this day, the quest to find new drugs is still a challenge due to the growing demands of patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases and the need for the individualization of therapy. The aim of this research was to synthesize new 1,2,4-triazole derivatives containing propanoic acid moiety and to investigate their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anthelmintic activity. Compounds 3a-3g were obtained in reactions of amidrazones 1a-1g with succinic anhydride. Several analyses of proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR, 13C NMR, respectively), as well as high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS), confirmed the structures of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives 3a-3g. Toxicity, antiproliferative activity and influence on cytokine release (TNF-α: Tumor Necrosis Factor-α, IL-6: Interleukin-6, IFN-γ: Interferon-γ, and IL-10: Interleukin-10) of the compounds 3a-3g were evaluated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells culture. Moreover, mitogen-stimulated cell culture was used for biological activity tests. The antimicrobial and anthelmintic activity of derivatives 3a-3g were studied against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains and Rhabditis sp. culture. Despite the lack of toxicity, compounds 3a-3g significantly reduced the level of TNF-α. Derivatives 3a, 3c and 3e also decreased the release of IFN-γ. Taking all of the results into consideration, compounds 3a, 3c and 3e show the most beneficial anti-inflammatory effects.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15101219. [PMID: 36297331 PMCID: PMC9606871 DOI: 10.3390/ph15101219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Amidrazones are widely used in chemical synthesis, industry and agriculture. We compiled some of the most important findings on the biological activities of amidrazones described in the years 2010-2022. The data were obtained using the ScienceDirect, Reaxys and Google Scholar search engines with keywords (amidrazone, carbohydrazonamide, carboximidohydrazide, aminoguanidine) and structure strategies. Compounds with significant biological activities were included in the review. The described structures derived from amidrazones include: amidrazone derivatives; aminoguanidine derivatives; complexes obtained using amidrazones as ligands; and some cyclic compounds obtained from amidrazones and/or containing an amidrazone moiety in their structures. This review includes chapters based on compound activities, including: tuberculostatic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, and antitumor compounds, as well as furin and acetylocholinesterase inhibitors. Detailed information on the compounds tested in vivo, along the mechanisms of action and toxicity of the selected amidrazone derivatives, are described. We describe examples of compounds that have a chance of becoming drugs due to promising preclinical or clinical research, as well as old drugs with new therapeutic targets (repositioning) which have the potential to be used in the treatment of other diseases. The described examples prove that amidrazone derivatives are a potential source of new therapeutic substances and deserve further research.

Paprocka R, Kołodziej P, Wiese-Szadkowska M, Helmin-Basa A, Bogucka-Kocka A. Evaluation of Anthelmintic and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of 1,2,4-Triazole Derivatives. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144488. [PMID: 35889357 PMCID: PMC9323247 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27144488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Parasitic diseases, caused by intestinal helminths, remain a very serious problem in both human and veterinary medicine. While searching for new nematicides we examined a series of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives 9–22, obtained during reactions of N3-substituted amidrazones with itaconic anhydride. Two groups of compounds, 9–16 and 17–22, differed in the position of the double bond on the methacrylic acid moiety. The toxicity of derivatives 9–22 and the anti-inflammatory activity of 12 and 19–22 were studied on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Antiproliferative activity of compounds 12 and 19–22 was tested cytometrically in PBMC cultures stimulated by phytohemagglutinin. The influence of derivatives 12 and 19–22 on the TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-γ production was determined by ELISA in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated PBMC cultures. Anthelmintic activity of compounds 10–22 was studied in the Rhabditis sp. nematodes model. Most compounds (11–22) proved to be non-toxic to human PBMC. Derivatives 19–22 showed anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the proliferation of lymphocytes. Moreover, compounds 12 and 19–22 significantly reduced the production of TNF-α and derivatives 19–21 decreased the level of INF-γ. The strongest anti-inflammatory activity was observed for compound 21. Compounds 12 and 14 demonstrated anthelmintic activity higher than albendazole and may become promising candidates for anthelmintic drugs.

Abstract
1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione derivatives are known for their wide range of pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. This study aimed to synthesize new 3,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione derivatives 2a–2f in the reaction of N3-substituted amidrazones with 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride and evaluate their structural and biological properties. Compounds 2a–2f were studied by the 1H-13C NMR two-dimensional techniques (HMQC, HMBC) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (derivatives 2a and 2d). The anti-inflammatory activity of compounds 2a–2f was examined by both an anti-proliferative study and a production study on the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in anti-CD3 antibody- or lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures. The antibacterial activity of compounds 2a–2f against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Micrococcus luteus, Esherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia enterocolitica, Mycobacterium smegmatis and Nocardia corralina strains was determined using the broth microdilution method. Structural studies of 2a–2f revealed the presence of distinct Z and E stereoisomers in the solid state and the solution. All compounds significantly inhibited the proliferation of PBMCs in anti-CD3-stimulated cultures. The strongest effect was observed for derivatives 2a–2d. The strongest inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production was observed for the most promising anti-inflammatory compound 2a.
