Abstract
Two new series of quinazoline-chalcone hybrids were designed, synthesized as histone deacetylase (HDAC)/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dual inhibitors, and screened in vitro against the NCI 60 human cancer cell line panel. The most potent derivative, compound 5e bearing a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl chalcone moiety, showed the most effective growth inhibition value against the panel of NCI 60 human cancer cell lines. Thus, it was selected for further investigation for NCI 5 log doses. Interestingly, this trimethoxy-substituted analog inhibited the proliferation of Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI)-8226 cells by 96%, at 10 µM with IC50 = 9.09 ± 0.34 µM and selectivity index = 7.19 against normal blood cells. To confirm the selectivity of this compound, it was evaluated against a panel of tyrosine kinase enzymes. Mechanistically, it successfully and selectively inhibited HDAC6, HDAC8, and EGFR with IC50 = 0.41 ± 0.015, 0.61 ± 0.027, and 0.09 ± 0.004 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the selected derivative induced apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by raising the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and activating caspases 3, 7, and 9. Also, the flow cytometry analysis of RPMI-8226 cells showed that the trimethoxy-substituted analog produced cell cycle arrest in the G1 and S phases at 55.82%. Finally, an in silico study was performed to explore the binding interaction of the most active compound within the zinc-containing binding site of HDAC6 and HDAC8.

Chem Biodivers 2024; 21:e202301662. [PMID: 38086017 DOI: 10.1002/cbdv.202301662] [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: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2024]
Abstract
In order to determine whether thiazolobenzamide molecules connected to naphthalene could inhibit the growth of three different tumor cell lines, MCF7 (breast carcinoma), A549 (pulmonary carcinoma), and DU145 (prostatic adenocarcinoma) a novel series of ten molecules, designated TA 1-10, was designed, synthesized, and tested. Among these compounds, TA7 showed promising results against cell lines, especially showing exceptional efficacy against breast cancer. Antioxidant activity tests consistently showed the best performance from the TA7 molecule. Furthermore, when a dose of 50 to 500 mg/kg of the total mass of rats is given, the most effective chemical, TA7, did not exhibit any harmful effects during acute oral toxicity tests. The biochemical indicators (SGOT and SGPT) for hepatotoxicity associated with compound TA7 were found to be fairly similar to those of the control group. The findings from molecular docking, XP visualization, and MM-GBSA dG binding investigations are in agreement with the outcomes of in-vitro tests of antioxidant and anticancer capabilities. TA7 was the most effective compound among those that were docked; it bound free energy and had adequate properties for metabolism (biochemical processes), distribution (dispersion), absorption (assimilation), and excretion (elimination). This study found that the TA7 molecule, a thiazole ring system derivative connected to naphthalene, is to be a promising and possible anticancer agent and its efficacy may be further explored in clinical studies.

Abstract
The target mono- and bis-(6-pyrazolyltriazolo-thiadiazine) derivatives 4a-c and 6a-d were synthesized using a straightforward protocol via reaction of 3-bromoacetylpyrazole 2 with 4-amino-s-triazole-3-thiols 3a-c and bis(4-amino-5-mercapto-s-triazol-3-yl)alkanes 5a-d, respectively. The bis(6-pyrazolyl-s-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine) derivatives 8a,b and 10 were also constructed by reaction of the triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine-3-thiol 4c with the proper dibromo compounds 7a,b and 9, respectively. Structures of the new substances were determined by spectroscopic and analytical data. Compounds 4b, 4c, and 6a showed potent cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (IC50 = 3.16, 2.74, and 0.39 μM, respectively) and were safe against the MCF-10A cells. Compounds 4b, 4c, and 6a also showed promising dual EGFR and CDK-2 inhibition activities, particularly 6a was the most effective (IC50 = 19.6 and 87.9 nM, respectively), better than Erlotinib and Roscovitine. Compound 6a treatment induced EGFR and CDK-2 enzyme inhibition by 97.18% and 94.11%, respectively, at 10 μM (the highest concentration). Compound 6a notably induced cell apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, increasing the cell population by total apoptosis 43.3% compared to 1.29% for the untreated control group, increasing the cell population at the S-phase by 39.2% compared to 18.6% (control).

Abstract
3-Bromoacetyl-4-(2-naphthoyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (6) was synthesized from 2-acetylnaphthalene and was used as a new key building block for constructing the title targets. Thus, the reaction of 6 with the thiosemicarbazones 7a-d and 9-11 afforded the corresponding simple naphthoyl-(3-pyrazolyl)thiazole hybrids 8a-d and 12 ~ 14. The symmetric bis-(2-naphthoyl-pyrazol-3-yl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenoxy)alkanes 18a-c and 21a-c were similarly synthesized from reaction of 6 with the appropriate bis-thiosemicarbazones 17a-c and 19a-c, respectively. The synthesized two series of simple and symmetrical bis-molecular hybrid merging naphthalene, thiazole, and pyrazole were evaluated for their cytotoxicity. Compounds 18b,c and 21a showed the most potent cytotoxicity (IC50 = 0.97-3.57 µM) compared to Lapatinib (IC50 = 7.45 µM). Additionally, they were safe (non-cytotoxic) against the THLE2 cells with higher IC50 values. Compounds 18c exhibited promising EGFR and HER-2 inhibitory activities with IC50 = 4.98 and 9.85 nM, respectively, compared to Lapatinib (IC50 = 6.1 and 17.2 nM). Apoptosis investigation revealed that 18c significantly activated apoptotic cell death in HepG2 cells, increasing the death rate by 63.6-fold and arresting cell proliferation at the S-phase. Compound 18c upregulated P53 by 8.6-fold, Bax by 8.9-fold, caspase-3,8,9 by 9, 2.3, and 7.6-fold, while it inhibited the Bcl-2 expression by 0.34-fold. Thereby, compound 18c exhibited promising cytotoxicity against EGFR/HER2 inhibition against liver cancer.

Abstract
A series of litseaone B analogues 4a∼4p were synthesised and antitumor activities of all compounds were screened. These compounds were designed by introducing different substituents on the B ring. Among these synthesised compounds, it was proved that 4k showed excellent activity against A549, HepG2, and HCT-15 cell lines, the IC50 values were 7.60 μM, 20.53 μM, and 4.59 μM, respectively. The results of tubulin polymerisation inhibition and immunofluorescence staining experiments displayed that 4k could act on tubulin and inhibit the polymerisation of tubulin. Moreover, the wound healing assay showed that 4k could inhibit the migration of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the results of flow cytometry revealed that 4k was capable of blocking the cell cycle in the G2/M phase, inducing a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential and ultimately leading to apoptosis in A549 cells. Importantly, the possible binding model was also performed by molecular docking. Subject classification codes: short communication.

Abstract
Naphthamide is a common structural framework with diverse pharmacological activities. Ten novel 2-naphthamide derivatives have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. The title compounds were synthesized from dimethoxybenzaldehyde derivatives through a four-step microwave-assisted synthesis process. The structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectra. Compound 8b showed good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Streptococcus faecalis, Salmonella enterica, MSSA, and MRSA with MIC values of 16, 16, 16, 8, and 16 μg/mL, respectively, compared to ciprofloxacin (MIC = 8-16 μg/mL). Compounds 5b (IC50 = 3.59-8.38 μM) and 8b (IC50 = 2.97-7.12 μM) exhibited good cytotoxic activity against C26, HepG2, and MCF7 cancer cell lines as compared to paclitaxel (IC50 = 2.85-5.75 μM). Moreover, compounds 5b and 8b exhibited better anticancer activity than PTX against the C26 cell line. In particular, compound 8b showed potent in vitro VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity with the IC50 value of 0.384 μM compared with sorafenib (IC50 = 0.069 μM). Therefore, compound 8b is the most potent compound for anticancer activity as indicated by in vitro cell line inhibition, in silico ADMET, molecular docking, and in vitro VEGFR-2 inhibition studies.

Abstract
Microtubules are cylindrical protein polymers formed from αβ-tubulin heterodimers in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Microtubule disturbance may cause cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, and anomalous mitotic spindles will form. Microtubules are an important target for cancer drug action because of their critical role in mitosis. Several microtubule-targeting agents with vast therapeutic advantages have been developed, but they often lead to multidrug resistance and adverse side effects. Thus, single-target therapy has drawbacks in the effective control of tubulin polymerization. Molecular hybridization, based on the amalgamation of two or more pharmacophores of bioactive conjugates to engender a single molecular structure with enhanced pharmacokinetics and biological activity, compared to their parent molecules, has recently become a promising approach in drug development. The practical application of combined active scaffolds targeting tubulin polymerization inhibitors has been corroborated in the past few years. Meanwhile, different designs and syntheses of novel anti-tubulin hybrids have been broadly studied, illustrated, and detailed in the literature. This review describes various molecular hybrids with their reported structural–activity relationships (SARs) where it is possible in an effort to generate efficacious tubulin polymerization inhibitors. The aim is to create a platform on which new active scaffolds can be modeled for improved tubulin polymerization inhibitory potency and hence, the development of new therapeutic agents against cancer.

Abstract
Microtubules play an important role in the process of cell mitosis and can form a spindle in the mitotic prophase of the cell, which can pull chromosomes to the ends of the cell and then divide into two daughter cells to complete the process of mitosis. Tubulin inhibitors suppress cell proliferation by inhibiting microtubule dynamics and disrupting microtubule homeostasis. Thereby inducing a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and interfering with the mitotic process. It has been found that a variety of chalcone derivatives can bind to microtubule proteins and disrupt the dynamic balance of microtubules, inhibit the proliferation of tumour cells, and exert anti-tumour effects. Consequently, a great number of studies have been conducted on chalcone derivatives targeting microtubule proteins. In this review, synthetic or natural chalcone microtubule inhibitors in recent years are described, along with their structure-activity relationship (SAR) for anticancer activity.

Abstract
A novel series of thiazole-naphthalene derivatives as tubulin polymerisation inhibitors were designed, synthesised, and evaluated for the anti-proliferative activities. The majority of the tested compounds exhibited moderate to potent antiproliferative activity on the MCF-7 and A549 cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 5b was found to be the most active compound with IC50 values of 0.48 ± 0.03 and 0.97 ± 0.13 μM. Moreover, mechanistic studies revealed that 5b significantly inhibited tubulin polymerisation with an IC50 value of 3.3 µM, as compared to the standard drug colchicine (IC50 = 9.1 μM). Further cellular mechanism studies elucidated that 5b arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase and induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cancer cells. Molecular modelling study indicated that 5b binds well to the colchicine binding site of tubulin. In summary, these results suggest that 5b represents a promising tubulin polymerisation inhibitor worthy of further investigation as potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
A new series of sulphonamide derivatives bearing naphthalene moiety were synthesised and evaluated for their antiproliferative and tubulin polymerisation inhibitory activities. These new compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 and A549 by using CCK-8 method. Among all the tested compounds, compound 5c with naphthalen-1-yl moiety exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 and A549 cell line, with IC50 values of 0.51 ± 0.03 µM and 0.33 ± 0.01 µM, respectively. The results of tubulin polymerisation assay shown that 5c exhibited a significant ability to inhibit tubulin polymerisation with IC50 value of 2.8 μM. Consistent with its antitubulin activity, 5c can significantly arrest the cell cycle at G2/M phase and induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cancer cells. Molecular docking study indicated that compound 5c inhibited tubulin polymerisation through interacting at the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. Furthermore, 5c exhibited low cytotoxic activity on human normal cell line.

Abstract
Due to the three domains of the colchicine-site which is conducive to the combination with small molecule compounds, colchicine-site on the tubulin has become a common target for antitumor drug development, and accordingly, a large number of tubulin inhibitors binding to the colchicine-site have been reported and evaluated over the past years. In this study, tubulin inhibitors targeting the colchicine-site and their application as antitumor agents were reviewed based on the literature from 2015 to 2019. Tubulin inhibitors were classified into ten categories according to the structural features, including colchicine derivatives, CA-4 analogs, chalcone analogs, coumarin analogs, indole hybrids, quinoline and quinazoline analogs, lignan and podophyllotoxin derivatives, phenothiazine analogs, N-heterocycle hybrids and others. Most of them displayed potent antitumor activity, including antiproliferative effects against Multi-Drug-Resistant (MDR) cell lines and antivascular properties, both in vitro and in vivo. In this review, the design, synthesis and the analysis of the structure-activity relationship of tubulin inhibitors targeting the colchicine-site were described in detail. In addition, multi-target inhibitors, anti-MDR compounds, and inhibitors bearing antitumor activity in vivo are further listed in tables to present a clear picture of potent tubulin inhibitors, which could be beneficial for medicinal chemistry researchers.

Abstract
A mild and one-pot synthetic pathway was successfully developed for the synthesis of new naphthoate-based scaffolds containing quinoline, pyranone and cyclohexenone moieties via a multistep reaction between acenaphthoquinone and various 1,3-diketones in the presence of different primary aliphatic and benzylic alcohols. This reaction proceeds via a sequential addition/oxidation mechanistic process including a metal-free addition step of acenaphthoquinone and 1,3-diketones followed by the H5IO6-mediated C–C oxidative cleavage of the corresponding vicinal diols at room temperature. The alcohols play a dual role, as the reaction solvent as well as the nucleophile, to conduct the reaction process toward naphthoate formation. All alkyl naphthoate derivatives prepared in this work are new compounds and were definitively characterized using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HRMS analysis, while X-ray crystallography was carried out for one of the products. The synthesis of a naphthalene-based nucleus attached to heterocyclic moieties is noteworthy to follow in the near future for diverse applications in biology, medicine, metal complex design, and semiconductor and optical materials. Various new alkyl 1-naphthoates bearing quinoline, pyranone and cyclohexenone moieties were successfully synthesized by a one-pot sequential addition/oxidation process.![]()

The resultant compound d1 was assessed for their antiproliferative action against human cancer cell lines (HeLa, HCT116, HT29, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and SKBR3). The IC50 range was estimated at 5.58 to 11.13 μM shows that compound d1 had remarkable anticancer activity on HeLa cell lines. Besides, it was discovered that d1 incited the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by controlling Bax and Bcl-2 transcripts by expanding the Caspase 3 activation. We depicted the in-vivo effects of tumor advancement and the antiangiogenic activity of d1 in the EAC animal model. Tumor growth had inhibited and without symptoms the longevity of EAC containing mice expanded by the treatment of d1. Inhibition of nuclear transcriptional factor HIF-1α in EAC cells and finally it also inhibited phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins such as ERK1/2, p38, and JNK in HeLa cells. The present investigation uncovered that d1 indicated noteworthy tumor-repressing abilities much less concentration in in-vitro and in-vivo recommended that compound d1 as the potent anticancer medication.

Abstract
Herein, a facile diversity-oriented approach to access functionalized benzo[a]fluorenes, benzo[b]fluorenones, and naphthyl ketones has been demonstrated via site-selective intramolecular cyclization of aryl-fused 1,6-diyn-3-ones. Synthesis of benzo[a]fluorenes and naphthyl ketones has been achieved selectively using TfOH and AgBF4, respectively, via in situ-formed acetals. Aryl-fused 1,6-diyn-3-ones undergo triflic acid-mediated intramolecular cyclization, leading to benzo[b]fluorenone derivatives via a radical intermediate as supported by EPR studies. Kinetic studies of these transformations have also been performed by UV-visible spectroscopic analysis to shed light on the reaction profile.

Abstract
Building on our previous work that discovered 1,2,4-triazole-spirodienone as a promising pharmacophore for anticancer activity, we have further diversified 1,2,4-triazole- spirodienone derivatives and synthesized a series of novel naphthalene-substituted triazole spirodienones to explore their antineoplastic activity. Of these, compound 6a possesses remarkable in vitro cytotoxic activity by arresting cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. Subsequently, acute toxicity assay showed that 6a at 20 mg/kg has no apparent toxicity to the major organ in mice. In addition, compound 6ain vivo suppressed breast cancer 4T1 tumor growth. Taken together, these results indicate that compound 6a may be a potential anticancer agent for further development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an important enzyme in purine metabolism and is known as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders and cancer. Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (TCHM) is widely used alone or in combination with chemotherapy to treat cancer, due to its ability to deliver a broad variety of bioactive secondary metabolites as promising sources of novel organic natural agents. OBJECTIVE In the present study, 29 varieties of medicinal plants were screened for the presence of ADA inhibitors. RESULTS Extracts from Reynoutria japonica, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Magnolia officinalis, Gardenia jasminoides, Stephania tetrandra, Commiphora myrrha, Raphanus sativus and Corydalis yanhusuo demonstrated strong ADA inhibition with rates greater than 50%. However, Reynoutria japonica possessed the highest ADA inhibitory activity at 95.26% and so was used in our study for isolating the ADA inhibitor to be further studied. Eight compounds were obtained and their structures were identified. The compound H1 had strong ADA inhibitory activity and was deduced to be emodin by 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopic analysis with an IC50 of 0.629 mM. The molecular docking data showed that emodin could bind tightly to the active site of ADA. Our results demonstrated that emodin displayed a new biological activity which is ADA inhibitory activity with high cytotoxic activity against K562 leukemia cells. The bioactivity of cordycepin was significantly increased when used in combination with emodin. CONCLUSION Emodin may represent a good candidate anti-cancer therapy and adenosine protective agent.

Abstract
A new series of 1,2,3-triazole-chalcone hybrids has been synthesized and screened in vitro against a panel of 60 human cancer cell lines according to NCI (USA) protocol. Compound 4d having 3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl chalcone moiety, the most potent derivative, inhibited the growth of RPMI-8226 and SR leukemia cell lines by 99.73% and 94.95% at 10 μM, respectively. Also, it inhibited the growth of M14 melanoma, K-562 leukemia, and MCF7 breast cancer cell lines by more than 80% at the same test concentration. 4d showed IC50 values less than 1 μM on six types of tumor cells and high selectivity index reached to 104 fold on MCF7. Compound 4d showed superior activity than methotrexate and gefitinib against the most sensitive leukemia cell lines in addition to higher or comparable activity against the rest sensitive cell lines. Flow cytometry analysis in RPMI-8226 cells revealed that compound 4d caused cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and induced apoptosis in a dose dependant manner. Mechanistic evaluation referred this apoptosis induction to triggering mitochondrial apoptotic pathway through inducing ROS accumulation, increasing Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and activation of caspases 3, 7 and 9.

A new mixed inhibitor of adenosine deaminase produced by endophytic Cochliobolus sp. from medicinal plant seeds. Folia Microbiol (Praha) 2019; 65:293-302.

Abstract
Medicinal plants have been studied for potential endophytic interactions and numerous studies have provided evidence that seeds harbor diverse microbial communities, not only on their surfaces but also within the embryo. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is known as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders and cancer. Therefore, in this study, 20 types of medicinal plant seeds were used to screen endophytic fungi with tissue homogenate and streak. In addition, 128 morphologically distinct endophyte strains were isolated and their ADA inhibitory activity determined by a spectrophotometric assay. The strain with the highest inhibitory activity was identified as Cochliobolus sp. Seven compounds were isolated from the strain using a chromatography method. Compound 3 showed the highest ADA inhibitory activity and was identified as 5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-4H-pyran-4-one, based on the results of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The results of molecular docking suggested that compound 3 binds to the active site and the nonspecific binding site of the ADA. Furthermore, we found that compound 3 is a mixed ADA inhibitor. These results indicate that endophytic strains are a promising source of ADA inhibitors and that compound 3 may be a superior source for use in the preparation of biologically active ADA inhibitor compounds used to treat cancer.

Abstract
A series of forty α-substituted chalcones were synthesized and screened for their antiproliferative activities against HCT116 (colorectal) and HCC1954 (breast) cancer cell lines. Compounds 5a and 5e were found to be the most potent compounds with GI50 values of 0.63 µM and 0.725 µM in HCC1954 cell line and 0.69 µM and 1.59 µM in HCT116 cell line, respectively. Both compounds induced a G2/M cell cycle arrest and caused apoptotic cell death in HCT116 cells as shown by the induction of PARP cleavage. The compounds also stabilized p53 in a dose-dependent manner in HCT116 cells following 24-hour treatment. Furthermore, both 5a and 5e were able to overcome multidrug resistance in two MDR-1 overexpressing multidrug resistant cell lines.

Abstract
A series of (E)-N-Aryl-2-oxo-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acetohydrazonoyl cyanides have been synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity in human hepatocellular liver carcinoma HepG2 and breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cell lines. Among all the tested compounds, compound 3a, 3e and 3n displayed more activity than lead compound with IC50 value of 0.26-0.61 μM. Meanwhile, these compounds (3a, 3e and 3n) showed potent antiproliferative activity against a panel of cancer cells and the HCT-8/T multidrug resistant cell line with IC50 values in the range of 0.077- 7.44 μM. Flow cytometric analyses revealed that compound 3n induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phases in a dose dependent manner. The compound 3n also displayed potent tubulin polymerization inhibition with an IC50 value of 0.9 µM, with ten folds more active than colchicine (IC50 = 9 μM). Molecular docking studies revealed that compound 3n efficiently interacted with the colchicine binding site of tubulin through hydrophobic, cation-π and hydrogen bond interaction. Furthermore, in silico pharmacokinetic prediction shown that these compounds have a good ADME-related physicochemical parameters. These results demonstrate that 3n exhibits potent cytotoxicity in cancer cells by targeting the colchicine binding site of tubulin and potentially acts as a therapeutic lead compound for the development of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
A new series of 1,3,5-triazine-containing 2-pyrazoline derivatives (8⁻11)a⁻g was synthesized by cyclocondensation reactions of [(4,6-bis((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amine]chalcones 7a⁻g with hydrazine hydrate and derivatives. Chalcones 7a⁻g were obtained by Claisen-Schmidt condensation between aromatic aldehydes and triazinic derivative 5, which was synthesized in high yield by a microwave-assisted reaction. Seventeen of the synthesized compounds were selected and tested by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) for their anticancer activity against 58 different human tumor cell lines. Compounds 7g and 10d,e,g showed important GI50 values ranging from 0.569 to 16.6 µM and LC50 values ranging from 5.15 to >100 µM.
