Molecular Hybrid Design, Synthesis, In Vitro Cytotoxicity, In Silico ADME and Molecular Docking Studies of New Benzoate Ester-Linked Arylsulfonyl Hydrazones. Molecules 2024; 29:3478. [PMID: 39124882 PMCID: PMC11313727 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29153478] [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: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
In this paper, we present the synthesis and characterization of two known sulfonyl hydrazides (1 and 2) and their new sulfonyl hydrazone derivatives (9-20), as well as in vitro and in silico investigations of their cytotoxic properties against human lung (A549) and human breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines. The target compounds (9-20) obtained in high yields were synthesized for the first time by a multi-step reaction, and their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis and various spectral techniques, including FT-IR, 1H-, and 13C-NMR. The antiproliferative profiles of these compounds (1, 2, and 9-20) in this study were determined at concentrations of 200, 100, 50, and 25 µM against selected cancer cell lines for 72 h using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Except for compounds 1 and 2, other compounds (9-20) demonstrated cytotoxic activity at concentrations lower than 200 µM. The newly synthesized compounds (9-20) demonstrated antiproliferative activities at a micromolar level, with IC50 values in the range of 29.59-176.70 μM for the A549 cell line and 27.70-170.30 μM for the MCF-7 cell line. Among these compounds, compound 15 (IC50 = 29.59 μM against A549 cell line and IC50 = 27.70 μM against MCF-7 cell line) showed the highest cytotoxic activity against these two cancer cell lines compared to the reference drug cisplatin (IC50 = 22.42 μM against A549 cell line and IC50 = 18.01 μM against MCF-7 cell line). From docking simulations, to establish a plausible binding mode of compounds, we noticed that compound 15 demonstrated the highest affinity (-6.8508 kcal/mol) for estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) compared to others, suggesting promising ERbeta binding potential. Most compounds followed Lipinski's rule of five, with acceptable logP values. Additionally, all had mixed gastrointestinal absorption and limited blood-brain barrier permeability. Overall, our study proposed new sulfonyl hydrazones as a potential class of anticancer agents.

Abstract
With the goal to discover a new antitumor drug with the better or similar effects to existing, a small series of β-diketonate was tested on a cisplatin-resistant MDA-MB-231 and HeLa tumor cell lines, and nontumor MRC-5 cell line. All compounds showed notable cytotoxicity against both tumor cell lines and good selectivity. Importantly, β-diketonates displayed greater selectivity than cisplatin, which is the crucial factor for a new antitumor drug candidate. Further, investigations with biomacromolecules such as DNA and serum albumin were performed. Investigations showed that tested compounds bind to DNA through intercalation and have appropriate affinity for binding to bovine serum albumin. In addition, the molecular docking study was performed to investigate more specifically the sites and binding mode of tested β-diketonate to DNA or bovine serum albumin. In conclusion, all results indicated the big potential of these compounds for application in clinical practice in future.

Abstract
The potent bidentate carrier ligand 2-picolylamine (pic) has been used to synthesize Pt(II) complexes to know their bioactivity and anticancer property as reflected by PASS prediction software. The dichloro Pt(II) complex [Pt(pic)Cl2], Pt-1, and its hydrolyzed diaqua complex [Pt(pic)(OH2)2]2+, Pt-2, were synthesized. The thiol-containing Pt(II) complexes [Pt(pic)(l-cys)]+, Pt-3, and [Pt(pic)(L-ac-l-cy)]+, Pt-4, were synthesized from Pt-2, which was obtained from hydrolysis of Pt-1. Their biomolecular interactions with BSA and DNA were executed by spectroscopic methods, and their cytototoxic property was tested by the MTT assay. In vitro biomolecular interactions of Pt(II) complexes with BSA and DNA were investigated by different spectroscopic and viscosity measurement methods for their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic importance. The conformational change of BSA in the presence of a drug candidate was studied by Förster resonance energy transfer calculation and synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopic studies. A theoretical approach on optimization structures, highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy, global reactivity parameters, time-dependent density functional theory, and molecular docking with BSA and DNA was executed to strengthen and support the experimental observations. In vitro cytotoxic profiles of the complexes like the anticancer activity and their level of reactive oxygen species production were brought under consideration on A549 cancer cells and the normal human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293. The cytotoxic property was compared with that of the recognized anticancer drug cisplatin.

Discovery of Highly Functionalized 5-hydroxy-2H-pyrrol-2-ones That Exhibit Antiestrogenic Effects in Breast and Endometrial Cancer Cells and Potentiate the Antitumoral Effect of Tamoxifen. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14215174.

Abstract
Tamoxifen improves the overall survival rate in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients. However, despite the fact that it exerts antagonistic effects on the ERα, it can act as a partial agonist, resulting in tumor growth in estrogen-sensitive tissues. In this study, highly functionalized 5-hydroxy-2H-pyrrol-2-ones were synthesized and evaluated by using ERα- and phenotype-based screening assays. Compounds 32 and 35 inhibited 17β-estradiol (E2)-stimulated ERα-mediated transcription of the luciferase reporter gene in breast cancer cells without inhibition of the transcriptional activity mediated by androgen or glucocorticoid receptors. Compound 32 regulated E2-stimulated ERα-mediated transcription by partial antagonism, whereas compound 35 caused rapid and non-competitive inhibition. Monitoring of 2D and 3D cell growth confirmed potent antitumoral effects of both compounds on ER-positive breast cancer cells. Furthermore, compounds 32 and 35 caused apoptosis and blocked the cell cycle of ER-positive breast cancer cells in the sub-G1 and G0/G1 phases. Interestingly, compound 35 suppressed the functional activity of ERα in the uterus, as demonstrated by the inhibition of E2-stimulated transcription of estrogen and progesterone receptors and alkaline phosphatase enzymatic activity. Compound 35 showed a relatively low binding affinity with ERα. However, its antiestrogenic effect was associated with an increased polyubiquitination and a reduced protein expression of ERα. Clinically relevant, a possible combinatory therapy with compound 35 may enhance the antitumoral efficacy of 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen in ER-positive breast cancer cells. In silico ADME predictions indicated that these compounds exhibit good drug-likeness, which, together with their potential antitumoral effects and their lack of estrogenic activity, offers a pharmacological opportunity to deepen the study of ER-positive breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Substituted 4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrroline-2-ones have been prepared via three-component reactions and the tautomerism of these 3-pyrroline-2-ones is due to the slight difference of energy, and the significantly large rate constant of transformation between two tautomers. 1,4,5-Trisubstituted pyrrolidine-2,3-dione derivatives were prepared from the above mentioned 2-pyrrolidinone derivatives and aliphatic amines, which exist in enamine form and are stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond. A possible reaction mechanism between 3-pyrroline-2-one and aliphatic amine (CH3NH2) was proposed based on computational results and the main product is formed favorably following the PES via the lowest ΔG# pathway in both the gas-phase and an ethanol solvent model. DFT calculations showed that kinetic selectivity is more significant than thermodynamic selectivity for forming main products.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterisation of a series of Pd(II) complexes: Pd(TEEDA)Cl2, C-1; [Pd(TEEDA)(OH2)2](NO3)2, C-2; [Pd(TEEDA)(l-cys)](NO3)2, C-3; [Pd(TEEDA)(NALC)], C-4; [Pd(TEEDA)(Meth)](NO3)2, C-5; and [Pd(TEEDA)(GSH)], C-6 (where TEEDA = N,N,N'-Triethylenediamine, l-cys = l-cysteine, NALC = N-acetyl-l-cysteine, Meth = dl-methionine and GSH = glutathione). UV-Vis spectroscopic characterisation was supported by TD-DFT theoretical simulation using Gaussian09 software. Different reactivity parameters were calculated from the energy difference between HOMO and LUMO of the complexes by DFT. The bonding mode of the labile ligands was confirmed by NBO analysis. Interaction of the complexes with DNA has been observed by gel electrophoresis experiment. DNA binding nature as well as binding constants of the complexes were measured with UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopic method. The binding nature of the complexes with DNA was confirmed by viscometric titration. Interaction of the complexes with BSA was investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence titration method. Cytotoxic activity of the Pd(II) complexes was evaluated on A549 (lung carcinoma epithelial cells), HCT116(Colorectal Carcinoma) and HEK293 (Human embryonic kidney cells) cell lines. The ROS generation in the presence of the complexes was tested both on cancer cell lines A549 and HCT116 as well as human normal cell HEK293.

Abstract
A study on the reactivity of 3-amino α,β-unsaturated γ-lactam derivatives obtained from a multicomponent reaction is presented. Key features of the substrates are the presence of an endocyclic α,β-unsaturated amide moiety and an enamine functionality. Following different synthetic protocols, the functionalization at three different positions of the lactam core is achieved. In the presence of a soft base, under thermodynamic conditions, the functionalization at C-4 takes place where the substrates behave as enamines, while the use of a strong base, under kinetic conditions, leads to the formation of C-5-functionalized γ-lactams, in the presence of ethyl glyoxalate, through a highly diastereoselective vinylogous aldol reaction. Moreover, the nucleophilic addition of organometallic species allows the functionalization at C-3, through the imine tautomer, affording γ-lactams bearing tetrasubstituted stereocenters, where the substrates act as imine electrophiles. Taking into account the advantage of the presence of a chiral stereocenter in C-5 substituted γ-lactams, further diastereoselective transformations are also explored, leading to novel bicyclic substrates holding a fused γ and δ-lactam skeleton. Remarkably, an example of a highly stereoselective formal [3+3] cycloaddition reaction of chiral γ-lactam substrates is reported for the synthesis of 1,4-dihidropyridines, where a non-covalent attractive interaction of a carbonyl group with an electron-deficient arene seems to drive the stereoselectivity of the reaction to the exclusive formation of the cis isomer. In order to unambiguously determine the substitution pattern resulting from the diverse reactions, an extensive characterization of the substrates is detailed through 2D NMR and/or X-ray experiments. Likewise, applications of the substrates as antiproliferative agents against lung and ovarian cancer cells are also described.

Abstract
We report efficient synthetic methodologies for the preparation of 3-amino and 3-hydroxy 3-pyrrolin-2-ones (unsaturated γ-lactams) through a multicomponent reaction of amines, aldehydes and acetylene or pyruvate derivatives. The densely substituted γ-lactam substrates show in vitro cytotoxicity, inhibiting the growth of the carcinoma human tumor cell lines RKO (human colon epithelial carcinoma), SKOV3 (human ovarian carcinoma) and A549 (carcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cell). In view of the possibilities for the diversity of the substituents that offer a multicomponent, synthetic methodology, an extensive structure–activity profile is presented. In addition, the bioisosteric replacement of the flat ester group by a tetrahedral phosphonate or phosphine oxide moiety in γ-lactam substrates leads to increased growth inhibition activity. Cell morphology analysis and flow cytometry assays indicate that the main pathway by which our compounds induce cytotoxicity is based on the activation of the intracellular apoptotic mechanism.

Abstract
Background:
It is known that pyrrolidinone derivates belong to a class of biologically active compounds with broad spectrum of biological actions. Nowadays, many scientists are making effort in the discovery of the more effective way to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) which cause oxidative stress or to eliminate the harmful microorganisms from the organism in humans. Therefore, pyrrolidinones seem to be great candidates for the investigations this field.
Methods:
The antimicrobial activity of tested compounds was estimated by the determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration by the broth micro-dilution method against four species of bacteria and five species of fungi. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by free radical scavenging and reducing power.

Among the tested compounds, P22 showed marked antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus with a MIC value of 0.312 mg/mL. Maximum antifungal activity with MIC value 0.625 mg/mL was shown by P23 and P25 compounds against Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Tested samples showed a relatively strong scavenging activity on DPPH radical (IC50 ranged from 166.75-727.17 µg/mL). The strongest DPPH radical scavenging activity was shown by the P3 compound with an IC50 value of 166.75 µg/mL. Moreover, the tested compounds had effective reducing power. Compounds P3, P10, and P13 showed the highest reducing power than those from the other samples. Results of the interactions between DNA or BSA and P3 indicated that P3 had the affinity to displace EB from the EB-DNA complex through intercalation [Ksv = (1.4 ± 0.1) × 105 M-1], while Ka values obtained via titration of BSA with P23 or P25 [Ka = (6.2 ± 0.2) and (5.0 ± 0.2) × 105 M-1] indicate that the notable quantity of the drug can be transmitted to the cells.
Conclusion:
Achieved results indicate that our compounds are potential candidates for use as medicaments.

Abstract
In this study, a series of novel Schiff base derivatives containing a pyrazolone ring (2a-e) were designed, successfully synthesized for the first time, and characterized by elemental analysis and some spectroscopic methods. These compounds were tested for their inhibitory activities on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and the human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and II). All synthesized molecules indicated significant inhibition effects with IC50 values ranging from 14.15 to 107.62 nM against these enzymes. Compound 2d showed the most potent inhibitory activity among the tested molecules toward AChE and BChE (IC50 = 15.07 and 14.15 nM) compared to the standard drug neostigmine. We determined that the IC50 values of the tested molecules ranged between 16.86 and 57.96 nM for hCA I and 15.24-46.21 nM for hCA II. As a consequence, we may say that some of the Schiff base derivatives may be used as potential drug candidates in later studies.

Abstract
The heterocyclic γ-lactam ring 2-pyrrolidinone has four carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom. Among the group of derivatives of 2-pyrrolidinones, 1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones, also known as 3-pyrroline-2-ones, play a significant structural role in a variety of bioactive natural compounds. In this study, three-component reactions were used to successfully synthesize six polysubstituted 3-hydroxy-3-pyrroline-2-one derivatives. The antioxidant activity of the compounds was tested by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, identifying 4-ethoxycarbonyl-3-hydroxy-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-pyrroline-2-one (4b) as the most promising radical scavenger. Quantum chemistry calculations of the thermodynamics and kinetics of the radical scavenging activity also suggest that 4b is an effective HO˙ radical scavenger, with koverall values of 2.05 × 109 and 1.54 × 1010 M−1 s−1 in pentyl ethanoate and water, respectively. On the other hand, 4b could not scavenge hydroperoxyl radicals in either media. The ability of 4b to scavenge hydroxyl radicals in polar and non-polar environments is comparable to that of conventional antioxidants such as melatonin, gallic acid, indole-3-carbinol, ramalin, or Trolox. Thus 4b may be classed as a promising HO˙ radical scavenger in the physiological environment. Derivatives of 3-hydroxy-3-pyrroline-2-one were effectively synthesized via multicomponent reactions and exhibited potential HO˙ radical scavenging activity.![]()

Abstract
In this study, we attempted to examine the biological activity of the copper(II)–based small molecule aquabis (1-formyl-2-naphtholato-k2O,O′)copper(II) (1) against colon cancer. The characterization of complex 1 was established by analytical and spectral methods in accordance with the single-crystal X-ray results. A monomeric unit of complex 1 exists in an O4 (H2O) coordination environment with slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry (τ = ~0.1). The interaction of complex 1 with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) was determined by employing various biophysical techniques, which revealed that complex 1 binds to ctDNA at the minor groove with a binding constant of 2.38 × 105 M–1. The cytotoxicity of complex 1 towards human colorectal cell line (HCT116) was evaluated by the MTT assay, which showed an IC50 value of 11.6 μM after treatment with complex 1 for 24 h. Furthermore, the apoptotic effect induced by complex 1 was validated by DNA fragmentation pattern, which clarified that apoptosis might be regulated through the mitochondrial-mediated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causing DNA damage pathway. Additionally, molecular docking was also carried out to confirm the recognition of complex 1 at the minor groove.

Abstract
An efficient synthetic methodology for the preparation of 3-amino 1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones through a multicomponent reaction of amines, aldehydes, and pyruvate derivatives is reported. In addition, the densely substituted lactam substrates show in vitro cytotoxicity, inhibiting the growth of carcinoma human tumor cell lines HEK293 (human embryonic kidney), MCF7 (human breast adenocarcinoma), HTB81 (human prostate carcinoma), HeLa (human epithelioid cervix carcinoma), RKO (human colon epithelial carcinoma), SKOV3 (human ovarian carcinoma), and A549 (carcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cell). Given the possibilities in the diversity of the substituents that offer the multicomponent synthetic methodology, an extensive structure-activity profile is presented. In addition, both enantiomers of phosphonate-derived γ-lactam have been synthesized and isolated and a study of the cytotoxic activity of the racemic substrate vs. its two enantiomers is also presented. Cell morphology analysis and flow cytometry assays indicate that the main pathway by which our compounds induce cytotoxicity is based on the activation of the intracellular apoptotic mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to make progress in discovering the new agents for cancer treatment with improved properties and considering the fact that 3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones belong to a class of biologically active compounds, we tested series of eleven novels 1,5-diaryl-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones for their antitumor potential. METHODS All novel compounds were characterized by spectral (IR, NMR, MS) and elemental analysis. All novel 3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones were screened for their cytotoxic activity on two cancer cell lines, SW480 and MDA-MB 231, and non-transformed fibroblasts (MRC-5). RESULTS Compounds B8, B9, and B10 showed high cytotoxicity on SW480 cells together with good selectivity towards MRC-5 cells. It is important to empathize that the degree of selectivity of B8 and B10 was high (SI = 5.54 and 12.09, respectively). Besides, we explored the mechanisms of cytotoxicity of novel derivatives, B8, B9, and B10. The assay showed that tested derivatives induce an apoptotic type of cell death in SW480 cells, with a minor percent of necrotic cells. Additionally, to better understand the suitability of the compounds for potential use as anticancer medicaments, we studied their interactions with biomacromolecules (DNA or BSA). The results indicated that the tested compounds have a great affinity to displace EB from the EB-DNA complex through intercalation. Also, DNA and BSA molecular docking study was performed to predict the binding mode and the interaction region of the compounds. CONCLUSION Achieved results indicate that our compounds have the potential to become candidates for use as medicaments.

Abstract
Anticancer is a high priority research area for scientists as cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. It is pertinent to mention here that conventional anticancer drugs such as methotrexate, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin, etc. are not much efficient for the treatment of different types of cancer; also these suffer from serious side effects leading to therapy failure. A large variety of cancerrelated receptors such as carbonic anhydrase, tyrosine kinase, topoisomerase, protein kinase, histone deacetylase, etc. have been identified which can be targeted by anticancer drugs. Heterocycles like oxadiazole, thiazole, thiadiazole, indole, pyridine, pyrimidine, benzimidazole, etc. play a pivotal role in modern medicinal chemistry because they have a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities including prominent anticancer activity. Therefore, it was considered significant to explore heterocyclic compounds reported in recent most literature which can bind effectively with the cancer-related receptors. This will not only provide a targeted approach to deal with cancer but also the safety profile of the drugs can be further improved. The information provided in this manuscript may be found useful for the design and development of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized successfully by co-precipitation method and characterized using XRD, SEM and EDS analyses. Then doxorubicin (DOX, a known anticancer drug) was loaded onto nanoparticles. In vitro DNA interaction of free DOX and loaded DOX onto Fe3O4 nanoparticles (DOX-Fe3O4) was investigated by DNA-viscosity measurements, UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopies. The obtained values for binding constant of DOX and DOX-Fe3O4 compounds from UV-visible spectroscopies were 0.04 × 105 and 0.68 × 105 L mol-1, respectively, which confirms DOX-Fe3O4 compound have a stronger interaction with CT-DNA compared to DOX. Considerable changes on viscosity of the compounds recommended that their binding mode with CT-DNA is intercalative binding. Fluorescence intensity of DOX and DOX-Fe3O4 was quenched via static process by regular addition of CT-DNA. Thermodynamic parameters suggest that Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding for DOX and electrostatic forces for DOX-Fe3O4 are predominantly responsible for interaction with CT-DNA. Competition fluorescence studies were done by Hoechst 33258 as a well-known groove binder and ethidium bromide (EtBr) as a known intercalator probe. Percentage of displacement for EtBr-DNA complex with DOX and DOX-Fe3O4 was 39% and 61%, and for Hoechst-DNA complex was 9% and 5%, respectively. These results confirmed that both compounds are intercalator binders, although DOX-Fe3O4 with a further 22% displacement is a stronger intercalator binder than DOX. The stronger interaction of DOX-Fe3O4 compared to DOX suggests that the current system can be used as a new and effective way to targeted therapy of anticancer drugs.
