Abstract
Utilizing microwave heating and an aqueous saturated solution of K2CO3 as a catalyst, a rapidone-pot synthesis of oxospiro[chromene-4.3-indoline] derivatives was produced in high yields. The experimental results confirmed that the saturated solution of K2CO3 gives outstanding yield to dangerous metals and strong bases during investigations into high-performance catalysts. The used catalyst is green, affordable, incredibly mild, and widely accessible. However, it generates samples, reduces the amount of byproducts, and is expected to be used in industrial-scale heterocyclic derivatives. New oxospiro[chromene-4.3-indoline] derivatives have been created from various isatin by condensing with various phenols. The biological activities results showed that when compared to erlotinib, the derivatives 3b, 4b, 5b, and 6b were the most effective analogues on A549, MCF-7, HepG-2, and HCT-116 cells, with an IC50 range of 3.32 to 11.88 µM. In A549 cells, compounds 3b, 4b, 5b, and 6b induced apoptosis, as shown by the up-regulation of Bax, the up-regulation of Bcl-2, and the stimulation of caspase-3 and -9. With IC50 value of 0.19 ± 0.09, compound3b was demonstrated to be the most effective against EGFRWT. Compounds 4b and 6b have good antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus, comparable to ciprofloxacin, and about half as much activity as ampicillin, according to the MIC value. Compound 6b's MIC is about 25% lower than clotrimazole drug. The in silico molecular docking outcomes of compounds 3b, 4b, 5b, and 6b in the EGFR active site depicted their ability to adopt essential binding interactions compared to the reference Erlotinib. Moreover, the investigation of the physicochemical properties of the most promising dual acting antiproliferative and antimicrobial compounds 4b and 6b through the egg-boiled method illustrated acceptable lipophilicity, GIT absorption, and blood-brain barrier penetration characteristics.

Abstract
Dicyandiamide (DCD) reacted with amino acids 1a-f to produce biguanides 2 and 4 and guanidine pyrazolones 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8, according to the reaction. DCD exhibited the following reactions: imidodicarbonimidicdiamide 9, diazocan-2-ylguanidine 10, methyl biguanidylthion 11, N-carbamothioylimidodicarbonimidicdiamide 12, 2-guanidinebenzoimidazole 13a, 2-guanidinylbenzoxazole 13b, and 2-guanidinylbenzothiazol 13c. These reactions were triggered by 6-amino caproic acid, thioacetamide, thiourea, o-aminophenol, o-aminothiophenol, and anthranilic acid, respectively. Compound 2 had the least antimicrobial activity, while compound 13c demonstrated the most antibacterial impact against all bacterial strains. Furthermore, in terms of antiglycation efficacy (AGEs), 12, 11, and 7 were the most effective AGE cross-linking inhibitors. Eight and ten, which showed a considerable inhibition on cross-linking AGEs, come next. Compounds 4 and 6 on the other hand have shown the least suppression of AGE production. The most promising antiglycation scaffolds 8, 11, and 12 in the Human serum albumin (HAS) active site were shown to be able to adopt crucial binding interactions with important amino acids based on the results of in silico molecular docking. The most promising antiglycation compounds 8, 11, and 12 were also shown to have better hydrophilicity, acceptable lipophilicity, gastrointestinal tract absorption (GIT), and blood-brain barrier penetration qualities when their physicochemical properties were examined using the egg-boiled method.

Novel Flurbiprofen Derivatives as Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Agents: Synthesis, In Silico, and In Vitro Biological Evaluation. Molecules 2024; 29:385. [PMID: 38257299 PMCID: PMC10818523 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, we present the synthesis of five novel compounds by combining flurbiprofen with various substituted 2-phenethylamines. The synthesized derivatives underwent comprehensive characterization using techniques such as 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Detailed HRMS analysis was performed for each of these newly created molecules. The biological activities of these compounds were assessed through in vitro experiments to evaluate their potential as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents. Furthermore, the lipophilicity of these derivatives was determined, both theoretically using the cLogP method and experimentally through partition coefficient (RM) measurements. To gain insights into their binding affinity, we conducted an in silico analysis of the compounds' interactions with human serum albumin (HSA) using molecular docking studies. Our findings reveal that all of the newly synthesized compounds exhibit significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, with results statistically comparable to the reference compounds. Molecular docking studies further explain the observed in vitro results, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms behind their biological activities. Using in silico method, toxicity was calculated, resulting in LD50 values. Depending on the administration route, the novel flurbiprofen derivatives show lower toxicity compared to the standard flurbiprofen.

Abstract
Microwave-assisted synthesis and spectral analysis of certain novel derivatives of 3,4-diaminothieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarbonitrile 1-7 were carried out. Compounds 1-7 were examined for cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and A549 cell lines using the quantitative MTT method, and gefitinib and erlotinib were used as reference standards. Compounds 1-7 were shown to be more active than erlotinib against the two cell lines tested. Compound 2 outperformed regular erlotinib by 4.42- and 4.12-fold in MCF-7 and A549 cells, respectively. The most cytotoxic compounds were subsequently studied for their suppression of kinase activity using the homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence assay versus epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFRWT) and EGFR790M. With IC50 values of 0.28 ± 0.03 and 5.02 ± 0.19, compound 2 was demonstrated to be the most effective against both forms of EGFR. Furthermore, compound 2 also had the best antioxidant property, decreasing the radical scavenging activity by 78%. Molecular docking research, on the other hand, was carried out for the analyzed candidates (1-7) to study their mechanism of action as EGFR inhibitors. In silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity tests were also performed to explain the physicochemical features of the examined derivatives.
