Abstract
Cysteine cathepsins play a crucial role in cancer, inflammation, and the regulation of degenerative processes such as apoptosis, making them significant targets in drug development. In this study, we designed, synthesized, and characterized sixteen novel bi-thiazole derivatives, confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and X-ray analysis, which demonstrated significant therapeutic potential as inhibitors of cathepsin B. The synthesized thiazoles showed % inhibition in the range of 59.11-77.32, out of which bis-methoxyphenyl derivative 8k showed the highest inhibition of 77.32 % with IC50 and ki values of 1.04 nM and 0.52 nM, respectively. Methoxy-containing derivatives 8c, 8g, 8i, 8j, 8l, and 8o showed improved inhibition over methyl and chloro. In silico studies of the new bis-thiazole compounds at cathepsin B active sites supported the in vitro findings, indicating that the synthesized bis-thiazole esters are promising therapeutic candidates for conditions involving elevated cathepsin B levels.

Novel thiazolotriazole and triazolothiadiazine scaffolds as selective tumor associated carbonic anhydrase inhibitors endowed with cathepsin B inhibition. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2024; 357:e2400366. [PMID: 38991221 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202400366] [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: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
The present research focused on the tail-approach synthesis of novel extended thiazolotriazoles (8a-8j) and triazolothiadiazines (11a-11j) including aminotriazole intermediate 10. After successful synthesis, all the compounds were evaluated for their inhibition potential against cytosolic isoforms of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA I, II), tumor-linked transmembrane isoforms (hCA IX, XII), and cathepsin B. As per the inhibition data, the newly synthesized compounds showed poor inhibition against hCA I. Many of the compounds showed effective inhibition toward hCA IX and/or XII in low nanomolar concentration. Despite the strong to moderate inhibition of hCA II by these compounds, more than half of them demonstrated better inhibition against hCA IX and/or XII, comparatively. Further, insights of CA inhibition data of these extended analogs and their comparison with earlier reported thiazolotriazole and triazolothiadiazine derivatives might help in the rational design of novel potent and selective hCA IX and XII inhibitors. The novel compounds were also found to possess anti-cathepsin B potential at a low concentration of 10-7 M. Broadly, compounds of series 11a-11j presented more effective inhibition against cathepsin B than their counterparts in series 8a-8j. Moreover, these in vitro results with respect to cathepsin B inhibition were also supported by the in silico insights obtained via molecular modeling studies.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of a library of 21 novel benzenesulfonamide-bearing 3-functionalized pyrazole-linked 1,2,3-triazole derivatives as dual inhibitors of cathepsin B and carbonic anhydrase enzymes are reported. The target 1,2,3-triazole-linked pyrazolic esters (16) were synthesized by the condensation of 1,2,3-triazolic diketo esters with 4-hydrazinobenzenesulfonamide hydrochloride, and these were further converted into the corresponding carboxylic acid (17) and carboxamide (18) analogs. The synthesized compounds were assayed in vitro for their inhibition potential against human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms I, II, IX, and XII. They were found to be potent inhibitors at the low nanomolar level against the cancer-related hCA IX and XII and to be selective towards the cytosolic isoform hCA I. The physiologically important isoform hCA II was potently inhibited by all the newly synthesized compounds showing KI values ranging between 0.8 and 561.5 nM. The ester derivative 16c having 4-fluorophenyl (KI = 5.2 nM) was the most potent inhibitor of hCA IX, and carboxamide derivative 18b (KI = 2.2 nM) having 4-methyl substituted phenyl was the most potent inhibitor of hCA XII. The newly synthesized compounds exhibited potent cathepsin B inhibition at 10-7 M concentration. In general, the carboxamide derivatives (18) showed higher % inhibition as compared with the corresponding ester derivatives (16) and carboxylic acid derivatives (17) for cathepsin B. The interactions of the target compounds with the active sites of cathepsin B and CA were studied through molecular docking studies. Further, the in silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) and drug-likeness properties of the target compounds were also studied.

Abstract
The emergence of cathepsins as a potential target for anticancer drugs has led to extensive research in the development of their inhibitors. In the present study, we designed, synthesized, and characterized several cinnamaldehyde schiff bases employing diverse hydrazines, as potential cathepsin B inhibitors. The parallel studies on cathepsin B isolated from liver and cerebrospinal fluid unveiled the significance of the synthesized compounds as cathepsin B inhibitors at nanomolar concentrations. The compound, 7 exhibited the highest inhibition of 83.48 % and 82.96 % with an IC50 value of 0.06 nM and 0.09 nM for liver and cerebrospinal fluid respectively. The inhibitory potential of synthesized compounds has been extremely effective in comparison to previous reports. With the help of molecular docking studies using iGEMDOCK software, we found that the active site -CH2SH group is involved in the case of α-N-benzoyl-D, l-arginine-b-naphthylamide (BANA), curcumin 2, 3, 6, and 7. For toxicity prediction, ADMET studies were conducted and the synthesized compounds emerged to be non-toxic. The results obtained from the in vitro studies were supported with in silico studies. The synthesized cinnamaldehyde schiff bases can be considered promising drug candidates in conditions with elevated cathepsin B levels.

Abstract
Aim: BCRP plays a major role in the efflux of cytotoxic molecules, limiting their antiproliferative activity. We aimed to design and synthesize new BCRP inhibitors to render cancerous tumors more sensitive toward anticancer agents. Materials & methods: Based on our previous work, we conceived potential BCRP inhibitors derived from 1,3,4-oxadiazoles bearing two substituted phenyl rings. Results: Evaluating 19 derivatives, we found that 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles possessing methoxy groups were the most active. The highest activity was recorded with derivatives bearing three methoxy groups. The most active compound (3j) was selective in inhibiting BCRP and nontoxic as evidenced by cellular tests. Conclusion: 3j is a promising BCRP inhibitor thanks to its synthetic accessibility and biological profile.

Abstract
Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a library of 28 new 1,2,3-triazole derivatives bearing carboxylic acid and ester moieties as dual inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and cathepsin B enzymes. The synthesised compounds were assayed in vitro for their inhibition potential against four human CA (hCA) isoforms, I, II, IX and XII. The carboxylic acid derivatives displayed low micromolar inhibition against hCA II, IX and XII in contrast to the ester derivatives. Most of the target compounds showed poor inhibition against the hCA I isoform. 4-Fluorophenyl appended carboxylic acid derivative 6c was found to be the most potent inhibitor of hCA IX and hCA XII with a KI value of 0.7 μM for both the isoforms. The newly synthesised compounds showed dual inhibition towards CA as well as cathepsin B. The ester derivatives exhibited higher % inhibition at 10-7 M concentration as compared with the corresponding carboxylic acid derivatives against cathepsin B. The results from in silico studies of the target compounds with the active site of cathepsin B were found in good correlation with the in vitro results. Moreover, two compounds, 5i and 6c, showed cytotoxic activity against A549 lung cancer cells, with IC50 values lower than 100 μM.

Abstract
Background: Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic infection caused by Paracoccidioides spp. (Pb). PCM can be associated or clinically confused with tuberculosis (TB), another pulmonary infection, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Futhermore, the long treatment time of TB and PCM and the cases of TB drug resistance impose difficulties for the cure of these diseases. Results: New 1,3,4-oxadiazoles containing the 4-methoxynaphthalene ring were synthesized and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Pb and Mtb. The derivative 6n (with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl subunit) is the most promising of the series. Conclusion: The 1,3,4-oxadiazole 6n can be used as a prototype drug candidate, with anti-Pb and anti-MTb activities, showing a broad-spectrum profile for the treatment of both pulmonary infections.

Abstract
Twenty-one novel extended analogs of acetazolamide were synthesized and screened in vitro for their inhibition efficacy against human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms I, II, IX, XII, and cathepsin B. The majority of the compounds were found to be effective inhibitors of tumor-associated hCA IX and XII, and poor inhibitors of cytosolic hCA I. Despite the strong to moderate inhibition potential possessed by these compounds toward another cytosolic isoform hCA II, some of them demonstrated better potency against hCA IX and/or XII isoforms as compared to hCA II. Four compounds (11f, 11g, 12c, and 12g) effectively inhibited hCA IX and/or XII isoforms with considerable selectivity over the off-targets hCA I and II. Interestingly, five compounds, including 11f, 11g, 12c, 12d, and 12g, inhibited hCA IX even better than the clinically used acetazolamide. Some of the novel synthesized compounds exhibited higher anti-cathepsin B potential than acetazolamide, with % inhibition of around 50%, at a concentration of 10-7 M. Further, two compounds (12g and 12c) that showed effective and selective inhibition activity profiles against hCA IX and XII were additionally found to be effective inhibitors of cathepsin B.

Abstract
Background: Inhibition of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms IX and XII with concurrent inhibition of cathepsin B is a promising approach for targeting cancers. Methods/results: 28 keto-bridged dual triazole-containing benzenesulfonamides were synthesized and tested, following the multitarget approach, for their efficacy as inhibitors of cathepsin B and hCA isoforms (I, II, IX, XII). The synthesized compounds showed excellent inhibition of CA isoforms (IX and XII) and cathepsin B. Compound 8i exhibited better and more selective inhibition of the cancer-associated isoform hCA IX as compared with acetazolamide (reference drug) and SLC-0111 (potent lead as carbonic anhydrase inhibitor). Molecular docking studies were also carried out. Conclusion: The present work gives important generalizations for the development of isoform-selective hCA inhibitors endowed with anti-cathepsin properties.

Abstract
Use of natural polymer in the development of Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) has greatly increased in recent past because of their biocompatible, non-allergic and biodegradable nature. Natural polymers are usually hydrophilic supports, so in order to be a carrier of a hydrophobic drug their nature needs to be changed. Each developed system behaves differently towards different drugs in terms of loading and sustained release of the drug as well. In the present work we report differential binding of piperine & curcumin with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) modified cellulose, alginate and pectin. Difference in interaction between the piperine and curcumin with supports has been visualized using in-vitro as well as in-silico studies. Initial results obtained after in-silico studies have been validated via time dependent anti-trypsin, serum protein binding, anti-cathepsin, anti-oxidant, and anti-α-amylase activities. FT-IR, SEM, fluorescence and Particle size have been used to characterize the piperine loaded on CTAB-modified polymeric supports.

Abstract
Woollins' reagent, [2,4-bis(phenyl)-1,3-diselenadiphosphetane-2,4-diselenide], serving as a selenating-reductive cycloaddition reagent, reacts with nonconjugated amido-Schiff bases to give the corresponding six-membered 1,3,4-selenadiazoles via a ring-expansion accompanied by an additional selenation/cyclization to the imine bond and C=O group; meanwhile, under the same reaction conditions, the selenation of conjugated amido-Schiff bases leads to a series of fused heterocycles with two five-membered rings. Eight single-crystal X-ray structures confirming the formation of these five- and six-membered heterocycles are discussed.

Induction of heparanase via IL-10 correlates with a high infiltration of CD163+ M2-type tumor-associated macrophages in inflammatory breast carcinomas. Matrix Biol Plus 2020; 6-7:100030. [PMID: 33543027 PMCID: PMC7852308 DOI: 10.1016/j.mbplus.2020.100030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Revised: 02/22/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive and lethal form of breast cancer, characterized by a high infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages and poor prognosis. To identify new biomarkers and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying IBC pathogenesis, we investigated the expression pattern of heparanase (HPSE) and its activator cathepsin L (CTSL). First, we quantitated the HPSE and CTSL mRNA levels in a cohort of breast cancer patients after curative surgery (20 IBC and 20-non-IBC). We discovered that both HPSE and CTSL mRNA levels were significantly induced in IBC tissue vis-à-vis non-IBC patients (p <0 .05 and p <0 .001, respectively). According to the molecular subtypes, HPSE mRNA levels were significantly higher in carcinoma tissues of triple negative (TN)-IBC as compared to TN-non-IBC (p <0 .05). Mechanistically, we discovered that pharmacological inhibition of HPSE activity resulted in a significant reduction of invasiveness in the IBC SUM149 cell line. Moreover, siRNA-mediated HPSE knockdown significantly downregulated the expression of the metastasis-related gene MMP2 and the cancer stem cell marker CD44. We also found that IBC tumors revealed robust heparanase immune-reactivity and CD163+ M2-type tumor-associated macrophages, with a positive correlation of both markers. Moreover, the secretome of axillary tributaries blood IBC CD14+ monocytes and the cytokine IL-10 significantly upregulated HPSE mRNA and protein expression in SUM149 cells. Intriguingly, massively elevated IL-10 mRNA expression with a trend of positive correlation with HPSE mRNA expression was detected in carcinoma tissue of IBC. Our findings highlight a possible role played by CD14+ monocytes and CD163+ M2-type tumor-associated macrophages in regulating HPSE expression possibly via IL-10. Overall, we suggest that heparanase, cathepsin L and CD14+ monocytes-derived IL-10 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBC and their targeting could have therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Cathepsins have emerged as promising molecular targets in a number of diseases such as Alzeimer's, inflammation and cancer. Elevated cathepsin's levels and decreased cellular inhibitor concentrations have emphasized the search for novel inhibitors of cathepsins. The present work is focused on the design and synthesis of some acetophenone phenylhydrazone based pyrazole derivatives as novel non peptidyl inhibitors of cathepsins B, H and L. The synthesized compounds after characterization have been explored for their inhibitory potency against cathepsins B, H and L. The results show that some of the synthesized compounds exhibit anti-catheptic activity with Ki value of the order of 10-10M. Differential inhibitory effects have been observed for cathepsins B, H and L. Cathepsin L is inhibited more pronounced than cathepsin B and cathepsin H in that order.
