Abstract
Benzimidazole scaffolds have potent anticancer activity due to their structure similarity to nucleoside. In addition, benzimidazoles could function as hydrogen donors or acceptors and bind to different drug targets that participate in cancer progression. The literature had many anticancer agents containing benzimidazole cores that gained much interest. Provoked by our endless interest in benzimidazoles as anticancer agents, we summarized the successful trials of the benzimidazole scaffolds in this concern. Moreover, we discuss the substantial opportunities in cancer treatment using benzimidazole-based drugs that may direct medicinal chemists for a compelling future design of more active chemotherapeutic agents with potential clinical applications. The uniqueness of this work lies in the highlighted benzimidazole scaffold hybridization with different molecules and benzimidazole-metal complexes, detailed mechanisms of action, and the IC50 of the developed compounds determined by different laboratories after 2015.

Abstract
In order to develop novel antimicrobial agents, we prepared quinoline bearing pyrimidine analogues 2-7, 8 a-d and 9 a-d and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, our second aim was to predict the interactions between the active compounds and enzymes (DNA gyrase and DHFR). In this work, fourteen pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline derivatives were prepared and assessed for their antimicrobial potential by estimating zone of inhibition. All the screened candidates displayed antibacterial potential with zone of inhibition range of 9-24 mm compared with ampicillin (20-25 mm) as a reference drug. Moreover, the target derivatives 2 (ZI=16), 9 c (ZI=17 mm) and 9 d (ZI=16 mm) recorded higher antifungal activity against C. albicans to that exhibited by the antifungal drug amphotericin B (ZI=15 mm). Finally, the most potent pyrimidoquinoline compounds (2, 3, 8 c, 8 d, 9 c and 9 d) were docked inside DHFR and DNA gyrase active sites and they recorded excellent fitting within the active regions of DNA gyrase and DHFR. These outcomes revealed us that compounds (2, 3, 8 c, 8 d, 9 c and 9 d) could be lead compounds to discover novel antibacterial candidates.

Abstract
An I(III)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization reaction using selectfluor as the oxidant was developed that converts ortho-substituted anilines to benzimidazoles. The mild reaction requires as little as 0.5 mol % of iodobenzene, and its scope is broad: electron-withdrawing or electron-releasing groups on the aniline portion are tolerated, and cyclic or acyclic N-alkylamines are permitted as ortho-substituents. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that benzimidazole formation occurs via cationic reactive intermediates, and an intramolecular kinetic isotope effect of 1.98 ± 0.05 was measured.

Abstract
NSAIDs represent a mainstay in pain and inflammation suppression, and their actions are mainly based on inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.Due to the adverse effects of these drugs, especially on the stomach and heart, scientists efforts have been directed to manufacture selective COX-2 without cardiovascular side effects and with minimal effects on the stomach. The cardiovascular side effects are thought to be related to the chemical composition rather than mechanism of action of these drugs.Novel pyridopyrimidines, 9a-j, were prepared and their chemical structures were confirmed by NMR, mass and IR Spectra, and elemental analysis. The effect of the 9a-j compounds on COX-1 and COX-2 was assessed and it was found that 2-hydrazino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-phenyl-3H-pyrido[2,3-d)pyrimidin-4-one (9d) was the most potent COX-2 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.54 uM) compared to celecoxib (IC50 = 1.11 uM) with selectivity indices of 6.56 and 5.12, respectively.The in vivo inhibition of paw edema of novel compounds 9a-j was measured using carrageenan-induced paw edema method, and that 2-hydrazino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-phenyl-3H-pyrido[2,3-d)pyrimidin-4-one (9d) showed the best inhibitory activity in comparison with the other compounds and celecoxib.The gastroprotective effect of the potent derivatives 9d, 9e, 9f, 9 g and 9h was investigated. 2-Hydrazino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-phenyl-3H-pyrido[2,3-d)pyrimidin-4-one (9d) and 7-(chlorophenyl)-hydrazino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3H-pyrido[2,3-d)pyrimidin-4-one (9e) showed ulcer indices comparable to celecoxib (1 and 0.5 vs 0.5, respectively). Docking studies were carried out and they confirmed the mechanistic action of the designed compoundsCommunicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Cancer is a serious threat to human beings and is the second-largest cause of death all over the globe. Chemotherapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer; however, drug resistance and severe adverse effects are major problems associated with anticancer therapy. New compounds with multi-target inhibitory properties are targeted to surmount these challenges. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is overexpressed in cancers of the pancreas, breast, colorectal, stomach, and lung carcinoma. Therefore, COX-2 is considered a significant target for the synthesis of new anticancer agents. This review discusses the biological activity of recently prepared dual anticancer and COX-2 inhibitory agents. The most important intermolecular interactions with the COX-2 enzyme have also been presented. Analysis of these agents in the active area of the COX-2 enzyme could guide the introduction of new lead compounds with extreme selectivity and minor side effects.

Abstract
An efficient and environmentally friendly method was established for designing novel 3-amino-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile (1) via the reaction of bromomalononitrile and benzene-1,2-diamine under microwave irradiation in an excellent yield (93%). This targeted amino derivative was utilized for the construction of a series of Schiff bases (8-13). A new series of thiazolidinone derivatives (15-20) were synthesized in high yields (89-96%) via treatment of thioglycolic acid with Schiff bases (8-13) under microwave irradiation in high yields (89-96%). Moreover, new pyrimidine derivatives (26-30 and 35-38) were prepared by treatment of compound 1 with arylidenes (21-25) and/or alkylidenemalononitriles (31-34) using piperidine as a basic catalyst under microwave conditions. Based on elemental analyses and spectral data, the structures of the new assembled compounds were determined. The newly synthesized quinoxaline derivatives were screened and studied as an insecticidal agent against Aphis craccivora. The obtained results indicate that compound 16 is the most toxicological agent against nymphs of cowpea aphids (Aphis craccivora) compared to the other synthesized pyrimidine and thiazolidinone derivatives. The molecular docking study of the new quinoxaline derivatives registered that compound 16 had the highest binding score (-10.54 kcal/mol) and the thiazolidinone moiety formed hydrogen bonds with Trp143.

Abstract
Cancer, characterized by a deregulation of the cell cycle which mainly results in a progressive loss of cellular differentiation and uncontrolled cellular growth, remains a prominent cause of death across the world. Almost all currently available anticancer agents used in clinical practice have developed multidrug resistance, creating an urgent need to develop novel chemotherapeutics. Benzimidazole derivatives could exert anticancer properties through diverse mechanisms, inclusive of the disruption of microtubule polymerization, the induction of apoptosis, cell cycle (G2/M) arrest, antiangiogenesis, and blockage of glucose transport. Moreover, several benzimidazole-based agents have already been approved for the treatment of cancers. Hence, benzimidazole derivatives are useful scaffolds for the development of novel anticancer agents. In particular, benzimidazole hybrids could exert dual or multiple antiproliferative activities and had the potential to overcome drug resistance, demonstrating the potential of benzimidazole hybrids as potential prototypes for clinical deployment in the control and eradication of cancers. The purpose of the present review article is to provide a comprehensive landscape of benzimidazole hybrids as potential anticancer agents, and the structure-activity relationship as well as mechanisms of action are also discussed to facilitate the further rational design of more effective candidates, covering articles published from 2019 to 2021.

Abstract
For most researchers, discovering new anticancer drugs to avoid the adverse effects of current ones, to improve therapeutic benefits and to reduce resistance is essential. Because the COX-2 enzyme plays an important role in various types of cancer leading to malignancy enhancement, inhibition of apoptosis, and tumor-cell metastasis, an indispensable objective is to design new scaffolds or drugs that possess combined action or dual effect, such as kinase and COX-2 inhibition. The start compounds A1 to A6 were prepared through the diazo coupling of 3-aminoacetophenone with a corresponding phenol and then condensed with two new chalcone series, C7–18. The newly synthesized compounds were assessed against both COX-2 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) for their inhibitory effect. All novel compounds were screened for cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines. Compounds C9 and G10 exhibited potent EGFR inhibition with IC50 values of 0.8 and 1.1 µM, respectively. Additionally, they also displayed great COX-2 inhibition with IC50 values of 1.27 and 1.88 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the target compounds were assessed for their cytotoxicity against pancreatic ductal cancer (Panc-1), lung cancer (H-460), human colon cancer (HT-29), human malignant melanoma (A375) and pancreatic cancer (PaCa-2) cell lines. Interestingly, compounds C10 and G12 exhibited the strongest cytotoxic effect against PaCa-2 with average IC50 values of 0.9 and 0.8 µM, respectively. To understand the possible binding modes of the compounds under investigation with the receptor cites of EGFR and COX-2, a virtual docking study was conducted.

Abstract
Background & objectives:
1,2-thiazine and pyridine heterocycles drew much attention due to their biological activities including antioxidant activity. Based upon fragment based drug design, novel pyrido[1,2]thiazines 9a-c, thiazolidinopyrido[1,2]thiazines 10a-c and azetidinopyrido[1,2]thiazines 11a-c were designed and prepared.
Methods:
These novel derivatives 9a-c, 10a-c and 11a-c were subjected to screening for their antioxidant activity via various assays as DPPH radical scavenging potential, reducing power assay and metal chelating potential.
Results:
All the assayed derivatives exhibited excellent antioxidant potential and the tested compounds 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b, 11a and 11b exhibited higher DPPH scavenging potential (EC50 = 32.7, 53, 36.1, 60, 40.6 and 67 µM, respectively) than ascorbic acid (EC50 = 86.58 µM). While targets 9a, 10a and 11a (RP50 = 52.19, 59.16 and 52.25 µM, respectively) exhibited better reducing power than the ascorbic acid (RP50 = 84.66 µM). Computational analysis had been utilized to prophesy the bioactivity and molecular properties of the target compounds.
Conclusion:
To predict the binding manner of the novel derivatives as antioxidants, in-silico docking study had been performed to all the newly prepared compounds inside superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) active site.

Characterization of novel heterocyclic compounds based on 4-aryl-4H-chromene scaffold as anticancer agents: Design, synthesis, antiprofilerative activity against resistant cancer cells, dual β-tubulin/c-Src inhibition, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction. Bioorg Chem 2021; 120:105591. [PMID: 34998122 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
In this study, three novel sets of 4-aryl-4H-chromene derivatives 4a-c, 6a-d and 7a-c were synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity. Characterization of new compounds was established on basis of elemental analyses and spectral data. All new compounds were investigated for their antiproliferative activity against HCT-116, HepG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines using vinblastine and staurosporine as positive controls. Compounds 4b, 4c and 6d showed superior cytotoxicity against HCT-116, HepG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively with IC50 ranged from 3.31 to 4.95 μM. Additionally, compound 4b showed excellent cytotoxic activity (IC50 = 39.83 μM) against resistant HCT-116 better than doxorubicin (IC50 = 164.60 μM), while compounds 4c and 6d exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against resistant HepG-2 and resistant MCF-7 cell lines. The most potent compounds inhibited both β-tubulin polymerization (IC50 = 8.78 - 16.47 μM) and c-Src kinase (IC50 = 0.07 - 0.18 μM) enzymes. Compounds 4b, 4c and 6d activated caspase-3, caspase-7, and caspase-9 proteins relative to untreated cells, revealing apoptosis induction. Apoptosis was also confirmed through up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of Bcl-2 protein expression levels. Cell cycle analysis of compound 6d showed accumulation of cells in pre-G1 phase and cell cycle arrest at S phase in MCF-7 treated cells. As well 6d caused 7- and 63- fold increase in apoptotic cell population at early and late apoptosis stages. Finally, molecular modeling study was performed to predict the binding pattern of the target compounds inside c-Src kinase receptor.

Abstract
An array of 4-aryl-2-amino-4H chromene derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against four cancer cell lines and two non-cancerous cell lines. The most active candidates were further screened for their in vitro anticancer activity on NCI panel of 60 human cancer cell lines where compounds 2a, 2b, 4a-2, and 2e showed promising activity against various leukemia, non-small lung, renal, prostate, and breast cancer cell lines, particularly against NCI-H522 non-small lung cancer cell line (GI50 of 0.35-0.60 µM), MCF7 breast cancer cell line (GI50 of 0.34-0.59 µM), and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cell line (GI50 of 0.23-0.40 µM). Compound 2b was the most potent against all leukemia and prostate cancer cell lines with GI50 values (0.29-0.60 µM). Compound 2b inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 and HepG2 cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apopotosis. 2b downregulated the mRNA abundance of BAX, Apaf-1 and caspase-3 and upregulated BCL-2. The activities of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were declined in MCF-7 and HepG2 cells treated with compound 2b. Compounds 2b and 4a-2 inhibited tubulin polymerization, with an IC50 values of 0.92 and 1.13 µM, respectively. These findings indicate that these synthesized compounds may represent potential drug candidates to inhibit the proliferation of different types of cancer cells.

Abstract
Nowadays, nitrogenous heterocyclic molecules have attracted a great deal of interest among medicinal chemists. Among these potential heterocyclic drugs, benzimidazole scaffolds are considerably prevalent. Due to their isostructural pharmacophore of naturally occurring active biomolecules, benzimidazole derivatives have significant importance as chemotherapeutic agents in diverse clinical conditions. Researchers have synthesized plenty of benzimidazole derivatives in the last decades, amidst a large share of these compounds exerted excellent bioactivity against many ailments with outstanding bioavailability, safety, and stability profiles. In this comprehensive review, we have summarized the bioactivity of the benzimidazole derivatives reported in recent literature (2012-2021) with their available structure-activity relationship. Compounds bearing benzimidazole nucleus possess broad-spectrum pharmacological properties ranging from common antibacterial effects to the world's most virulent diseases. Several promising therapeutic candidates are undergoing human trials, and some of these are going to be approved for clinical use. However, notable challenges, such as drug resistance, costly and tedious synthetic methods, little structural information of receptors, lack of advanced software, and so on, are still viable to be overcome for further research.

Abstract
Introduction Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition is an imperative therapeutic approach targeting various types of cancer including colorectal, lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer types. Moreover, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is frequently overexpressed in different types of cancers and has a role in the promotion of malignancy, apoptosis inhibition, and metastasis of tumor cells. Combination therapy has been emerged to improve the therapeutic benefit against cancer and curb intrinsic and acquired resistance. Methods Three semi-synthetic series of compounds (C1-4, P1-4, and G1-4) were prepared and evaluated biologically as potential dual epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and COX-2 inhibitors. The main phenolic constituents of Amaranthus spinosus L. (p-coumaric, caffeic and gallic) acids have been isolated and subsequently subjected to diazo coupling with various amines to get novel three chemical scaffolds with potential anticancer activities. Results Compounds C4 and G4 showed superior inhibitory activity against EGFR (IC50: 0.9 and 0.5 µM, respectively) and displayed good COX-2 inhibition (IC50: 4.35 and 2.47 µM, respectively). Moreover, the final compounds were further evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against human colon cancer (HT-29), pancreatic cancer (PaCa-2), human malignant melanoma (A375), lung cancer (H-460), and pancreatic ductal cancer (Panc-1) cell lines. Interestingly, compounds C4 and G4 exhibited the highest cytotoxic activity with average IC50 values of 1.5 µM and 2.8 µM against H-460 and Panc-1, respectively. The virtual docking study was conducted to gain proper understandings of the plausible-binding modes of target compounds within EGFR and COX-2 binding sites. Discussion The NMR of prepared compounds showed characteristic peaks that confirmed the structure of the target compounds. The synthesized benzoxazolyl scaffold containing compounds showed inhibitory activities for both COXs and EGFR which are consistent with the virtual docking study.

Abstract
Background. Benzoxazole derivatives have different biological activities. In pursuit of designing novel chemical entities with antiprotozoal and antimicrobial activities, benzoxazolyl aniline was utilized as a privileged scaffold of a series of (3-benzoxazole-2-yl) phenylamine derivatives, 3-benzoxazoloyl acetamide, and butyramide derivatives. Methods. These novel analogs were synthesized in straightforward simple chemistry without any quantitative chromatographic separations in reasonable yields. The biological evaluation of all target compounds as potential antimalarial, antileishmanial, antitrypanosomal, and antimicrobial agents was performed by various well-established cell-based methods. Results. Compounds 6d and 5a showed promising biological screening data. The amidation of 3-benzoxazolyl aniline 1 with the chloroacetyl functional group resulted in a good antimalarial activity and showed moderate inhibitory activities against leishmanial and trypanosomal spp. Moreover, chloroacetyl functionalization of benzoxazolyl aniline serves as a good early goal for constructing and synthesizing new antimicrobial and antiprotozoal agents. The molecular docking study rationalizes the relative inhibitory activity of compound 5a as an antimalarial agent with the deregulation of PfPNP activity which has emerged as a major mechanism of these targets.

Abstract
Pyrimidines are aromatic heterocyclic compounds that contain two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 of the six-membered ring. Numerous natural and synthetic pyrimidines are known to exist. They display a range of pharmacological effects including antioxidants, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antituberculosis, and anti-inflammatory. This review sums up recent developments in the synthesis, anti-inflammatory effects, and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of pyrimidine derivatives. Numerous methods for the synthesis of pyrimidines are described. Anti-inflammatory effects of pyrimidines are attributed to their inhibitory response versus the expression and activities of certain vital inflammatory mediators namely prostaglandin E2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrosis factor-α, nuclear factor κB, leukotrienes, and some interleukins. Literature studies reveal that a large number of pyrimidines exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects. SARs of numerous pyrimidines have been discussed in detail. Several possible research guidelines and suggestions for the development of new pyrimidines as anti-inflammatory agents are also given. Detailed SAR analysis and prospects together provide clues for the synthesis of novel pyrimidine analogs possessing enhanced anti-inflammatory activities with minimum toxicity.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2 enzymes (PLA2s) comprise a superfamily that is generally divided into six subfamilies known as cytosolic PLA2s (cPLA2s), calcium-independent PLA2s (iPLA2s), secreted PLA2s (sPLA2s), lysosomal PLA2s, platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolases, and adipose specific PLA2s. Each subfamily consists of several isozymes that possess PLA2 activity. The first three PLA2 subfamilies play important roles in inflammation-related diseases and cancer. In this review, the roles of well-studied enzymes sPLA2-IIA, cPLA2α and iPLA2β in carcinogenesis and cancer development were discussed. sPLA2-IIA seems to play conflicting roles and can act as a tumor suppressor or a tumor promoter according to the cancer type, but cPLA2α and iPLA2β play protumorigenic role in most cancers. The mechanisms of PLA2-mediated signal transduction and crosstalk between cancer cells and endothelial cells in the tumor microenvironment are described. Moreover, the mechanisms by which PLA2s mediate lipid reprogramming and glycerophospholipid remodeling in cancer cells are illustrated. PLA2s as the upstream regulators of the arachidonic acid cascade are generally high expressed and activated in various cancers. Therefore, they can be considered as potential pharmacological targets and biomarkers in cancer. The detailed information summarized in this review may aid in understanding the roles of PLA2s in cancer, and provide new clues for the development of novel agents and strategies for tumor prevention and treatment.

Abstract
In the present scenario, there has been a lot of consideration toward the field of free radical chemistry. Free radicals responsive oxygen species are produced by different endogenous frameworks, exposure to various physicochemical conditions, radiation, toxins, metabolized drug by-product, and pathological states. On the off chance that free radical overpowers the body's capacity, it generates a condition known as oxidative stress, which can alter physiological conditions of the body and results in several diseases. For appropriate physiological function, it is necessary to have a proper balance between free radicals and antioxidants. Antioxidants chemically inhibit the oxidation process; they are also known as free radical scavengers. For tackling the problem of oxidative stress application of an external source of antioxidant is helpful. A lot of antioxidants of natural, semi-synthetic and synthetic origin are in use, with time search of more effective, nontoxic, safe antioxidant is intensified. The present review, discuss different synthetic derivatives bearing various heterocyclic scaffolds as radical scavengers.

Abstract
A series of some novel 2-(p-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(3-substituted-propionamido)benzoxazole derivatives have been designed, synthesized, evaluated for antimicrobial activity and have performed molecular docking studies against penicillin-binding protein 4 (PBP4) and active and allosteric site of PBP2a; were calculated some theoretical quantum parameters and absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) descriptors. B9 acted at minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 8 µg/mL against S. aureus, E. faecalis and their drug-resistant isolates and also formed with GLU145 (1.74 Å) and ILE144 (1.89 Å) two hydrogen bonds at allosteric site of PBP2a with Glide emodel score: -42.168. ΔE of compound B9 had moderate value of all compounds with 0.14742.[Formula: see text]Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
