Antimicrobial activity of natural and semi-synthetic carbazole alkaloids

Since the first natural carbazole alkaloid, murrayanine, was isolated from Mwraya Spreng, carbazole alkaloid derivatives have been widely concerned for their anti-tumor, anti-viral and anti-bacterial activities. In recent decades, a growing body of data suggest that carbazole alkaloids and their derivatives have different biological activities. This is the first comprehensive description of the antifungal and antibacterial activities of carbazole alkaloids in the past decade (2012-2022), including natural and partially synthesized carbazole alkaloids in the past decade. Finally, the challenges and problems faced by this kind of alkaloids are summarized. This paper will be helpful for further exploration of this kind of alkaloids.

A diastereoselective three-component reaction for the assembly of succinimide and isatin hybrid molecules with potent anticancer activities

A Rh₂(OAc)₄ catalyzed three-component reaction of vinyl diazosuccinimides with alcohols and isatins has been reported, which provides a practical assess to the direct assembly of succinimide and isatin hybrid molecules in good-to-high yields with excellent stereoselectivity. The antiproliferation activity of these synthesized succinimide and isatin hybrid products has been tested via the CCK8 assay in different cancer cell lines, and compounds 4g (SJSA-1, IC₅₀ = 3.82 μM) and 4r (HCT-116, IC₅₀ = 9.02 μM) exhibit higher anticancer potency than other tested compounds.

A Recent Overview of 1,2,3-Triazole-Containing Hybrids as Novel Antifungal Agents: Focusing on Synthesis, Mechanism of Action, and Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR)

A pharmacophore system has been found as 1,2,3-triazole, a five-membered heterocycle ring with nitrogen heteroatoms. These heterocyclic compounds can be produced using azide-alkyne cycloaddition processes catalyzed by ruthenium or copper. The bioactive compounds demonstrated antitubercular, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, and antidiabetic properties. This heterocycle molecule, in particular, with one or more 1,2,3-triazole cores has been found to have the most powerful antifungal effects. The goal of this review is to highlight recent developments in the synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) investigation of this prospective fungicidal chemical. Also there have been explained drugs and mechanism of action of a triazole compound with antifungal activity. This review will be useful in a variety of fields, including medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, mycology, and pharmacology.

Robust therapeutic potential of carbazole-triazine hybrids as a new class of urease inhibitors: A distinctive combination of nitrogen-containing heterocycles

The inhibition of urease enzyme is very important as it plays a key role in the treatment of several urinary and gastrointestinal tract infections. This enzyme provides a suitable environment for Helicobacter pylori at the low pH of the stomach, a causative agent of gastric and peptic ulcer that may lead to cancer. In agriculture, the high urease content causes environmental and economic problems. In this pursuit, given the well-established importance of integrated pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry and to explore new inhibitors of urease featuring two distinct heterocyclic functionalities, we herein report a facile synthesis of carbazole-triazine hybrids (3a-j). These new propeller-shaped chemical scaffolds were evaluated for their urease inhibitory potential in order to identify suitable leads. The initial structure-activity survey work guided through in vitro bioactivity results recognized 3e and 3f as new starting point hits incorporating bulky iodo (3e) and strong electron-withdrawing nitro (3f) groups at the para-position of aryl amine component. The potent compounds (3e &3f) exhibited the highest activity with IC₅₀ values of 5.6 and 6.7 µM, respectively. In the molecular docking analysis, these compounds depicted excellent binding interactions with the active site residues. The key interactions observed include hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, π-cation and nickel atom coordination to the triazine nitrogen of both inhibitors.

This protocol takes advantages of mild conditions, simple workup and high yield which make this method attractive for the synthesis of these hybrid of pyrazolo[1[Formula: see text],5[Formula: see text]:1,2]pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinolines.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of pyridinium-functionalized carbazole derivatives as promising antibacterial agents

Various pyridinium-functionalized carbazole derivatives were constructed by coupling the key fragments of carbazole skeleton and pyridinium nucleus in a single molecular architecture. Antibacterial bioassays revealed that some of the title compounds displayed impressive bioactivities against plant pathogens such as Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Ralstonia solanacearum, and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri with minimal EC₅₀ values of up to 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3mg/L, respectively. These bioactivities were achieved by systematically tuning and optimizing bridging linker, alkyl length of the tailor, and substituents on the carbazole scaffold. Compared with the bioactivity of the lead compound (AP-10), antibacterial efficacy dramatically increased by approximately 13-, 104- and 21-fold. This finding suggested that these compounds can serve as new lead compounds in research on antibacterial chemotherapy.

Glycotriazole-peptides derived from the peptide HSP1: synergistic effect of triazole and saccharide rings on the antifungal activity

This work proposes a strategy that uses solid-phase peptide synthesis associated with copper(I)-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition reaction to promote the glycosylation of an antimicrobial peptide (HSP1) containing a carboxyamidated C-terminus (HSP1-NH₂). Two glycotriazole-peptides, namely [p-Glc-trz-G¹]HSP1-NH₂ and [p-GlcNAc-trz-G¹]HSP1-NH₂, were prepared using per-O-acetylated azide derivatives of glucose and N-acetylglucosamine in the presence of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO₄·5H₂O) and sodium ascorbate as a reducing agent. In order to investigate the synergistic action of the carbohydrate motif linked to the triazole-peptide structure, a triazole derivative [trz-G¹]HSP1-NH₂ was also prepared. A set of biophysical approaches such as DLS, Zeta Potential, SPR and carboxyfluorescein leakage from phospholipid vesicles confirmed higher membrane disruption and lytic activities as well as stronger peptide-LUVs interactions for the glycotriazole-peptides when compared to HSP1-NH₂ and to its triazole derivative, which is in accordance with the performed biological assays: whereas HSP1-NH₂ presents relatively low and [trz-G¹]HSP1-NH₂ just moderate fungicidal activity, the glycotriazole-peptides are significantly more effective antifungal agents. In addition, the glycotriazole-peptides and the triazole derivative present strong inhibition effects on ergosterol biosynthesis in Candida albicans, when compared to HSP1-NH₂ alone. In conclusion, the increased fungicidal activity of the glycotriazole-peptides seems to be the result of (A) more pronounced membrane-disruptive properties, which is related to the presence of a saccharide ring, together with (B) the inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis, which seems to be related to the presence of both the monosaccharide and the triazole rings.
