Novel N-pyrocatechoyl and N-pyrogalloyl hydrazone antioxidants endowed with cytotoxic and antibacterial activity. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2024; 357:e2300725. [PMID: 38346258 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202300725] [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: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
Over the years, pharmacological agents bearing antioxidant merits arose as beneficial in the prophylaxis and treatment of various health conditions. Hazardous effects of radical species hyperproduction disrupt normal cell functioning, thus increasing the possibility for the development of various oxidative stress-associated disorders, such as cancer. Contributing to the efforts for efficient antioxidant drug discovery, a thorough in vitro and in silico assessment of antioxidant properties of 14 newly synthesized N-pyrocatechoyl and N-pyrogalloyl hydrazones (N-PYRs) was accomplished. All compounds exhibited excellent antioxidant potency against the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. The extensive in silico analysis revealed multiple favorable features of N-PYRs to inactivate harmful radical species, which supported the obtained in vitro results. Also, in silico experiments provided insights into the preferable antioxidant pathways. Prompted by these findings, the cytotoxicity effects and the influence on the redox status of cancer HCT-116 cells and healthy fibroblasts MRC-5 were evaluated. These investigations exposed four analogs exhibiting both cytotoxicity and selectivity toward cancer cells. Furthermore, the frequently uncovered antimicrobial potency of hydrazone-type hybrids encouraged investigations on G+ and G- bacterial strains, which revealed the antibacterial potency of several N-PYRs. These findings highlighted the N-PYRs as excellent antioxidant agents endowed with cytotoxic and antibacterial features.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are evolving and one of the chief problems is emergence and prevalence of antibacterial resistance. Moreover, certain strains of Bacillus subtilis have become resistant to several antibiotics. To counteract this menace, the present work aimed to comprehend the antibacterial activity of synthesized two quinoline derivatives against Bacillus subtilis. Toxicity predictions via Protox II, SwissADME and T.E.S.T (Toxicity Estimation Software Tool) revealed that these derivatives were non-toxic and had little to no adverse effects. Molecular docking studies carried out in Schrodinger with two quinoline derivatives (referred Q1 and Q2) docked against selected target proteins (PDB IDs: 2VAM and1FSE) of B. subtilis demonstrated ideal binding energies (2VAM-Q1: - 4.63 kcal/mol and 2VAM-Q2: - 4.46 kcal/mol, and 1FSE-Q1: - 3.51 kcal/mol, 1FSE-Q2: - 6.34 kcal/mol). These complexes were simulated at 100 ns and the outcomes revealed their stability with slight conformational changes. Anti-microbial assay via disc diffusion method revealed zones of inhibition showing that B. subtilis was inhibited by both Q1 and Q2, with Q2 performing slightly better than Q1, pointing towards its effectiveness against this organism and necessitating further study on other bacteria in prospective studies. Thus, this study demonstrates that our novel quinoline derivatives exhibit antibacterial properties against Bacillus subtilis and can act as potent anti-bacterials.

Abstract
In this work four vanadium complexes (compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4) and one molybdenum complex (compound 5) with hydrazone ligands derived from pyridoxal were synthesized and characterized. All compounds are mononuclear species, two of them (compounds 3 and 5) are dioxide complexes and the other three (compounds 1, 2 and 4) monoxide complexes. The vanadium atom of the compound 3 is five-coordinated and all the other compounds have a six coordinated environment polyhedron. The poses for the potential intercalation of the compounds 2 and 3 with DNA were obtained by using AutoDock software. Optimizations were also performed at PM6-D3H4 semi-empirical level whereas the study of the nature of the interaction was carried out by means of the Energy Decomposition Analysis and the Non-Covalent Interaction index by using in both cases Density Functional Theory computations. The cytotoxicity in lung cancer cells (A549 cell line) of all the compounds was also evaluated. After 24 h of treatment, vanadium complexes showed high values of IC50, between 419.93 ± 22.58 and 685.88 ± 46.55 μM. After 48 h, the results showed that the compound 3 had the lowest IC50 value, 65.32 ± 9.95 μM, and the compound 2 the highest value, 375.28 ± 32.09 μM. The molybdenum complex showed the lowest IC50 value at 48 h (11.22 ± 1.34 μM). The toxicity of the compounds 3, 4 and 5 was tested in vivo, using zebrafish model, and the molybdenum complex showed higher toxic effects than the studied vanadium complexes.

Abstract
AbstractA new series of pyridine-2-one and pyrazole derivatives were designed and synthesized based on cyanoacrylamide derivatives containing 2,4-dichlro aniline and 6-methyl 2-amino pyridine as an aryl group. Condensation of cyanoacrylamide derivatives 3a–d with different active methylene (malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate cyanoacetamide, and ethyl acetoacetate) in the presence of piperidine as basic catalyst afforded the corresponding pyridinone derivatives 4a–c, 5, 9, and 13. Furthermore, the reaction of cyanoacrylamide derivatives 3a–d with bi-nucleophile as hydrazine hydrate and thiosemicarbazide afforded the corresponding pyrazole derivatives 14a,b and 16. The newly designed derivatives were confirmed and established based on the elemental analysis and spectra data (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass). The in vitro antibacterial activity was evaluated against four bacterial strains with weak to good antibacterial activity. Moreover, the results indicated that the most active derivatives 3a, 4a, 4b, 9, and 16 might lead to antibacterial agents, especially against B. subtilis and P. vulgaris. The DFT calculations were performed to estimate its geometric structure and electronic properties. In addition, the most active pyridinone and pyrazole derivatives were further evaluated for in silico physicochemical, drug-likeness, and toxicity prediction. These derivatives obeyed all Lipinski’s and Veber’s rules without any violation and displayed non-immunotoxin, non-mutagenic, and non-cytotoxic. Molecular docking simulation was performed inside the active site of Topoisomerase IV (PDB:3FV5). It displayed binding energy ranging from -14.97 kcal/mol to -18.86 kcal/mol with hydrogen bonding and arene–cation interaction. Therefore, these derivatives were suggested to be good antibacterial agents via topoisomerase IV inhibitor.

Abstract
Emergence of resistance to antibacterial drugs remains an important global threat that necessitates an urgent need for the discovery of alternative drugs. This study was undertaken to synthesize some novel nitroaryl/heteroaryl hydrazone derivatives as potential antibacterial agents. After synthesizing by a simple reaction between quinoline/quinazoline hydrazine and nitroaryl/heteroaryl aldehydes, all the compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities, cytotoxicity, and in silico investigations. The compound, 2-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-1-(quinazolin-4-yl)hydrazine (1b) displayed significant antimicrobial activity against several susceptible and resistant bacteria without any cytotoxicity. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the complete destruction of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli following exposure to this compound after 2 hours exposure. The in silico studies confirmed the better binding energy of these compounds in comparison with the reference drugs in complex with topoisomerase IV and bacterial ribosomal receptor. Compound 1b can be considered as a promising lead compound for the development of broad-spectrum antibacterial medications after further studies.

Abstract
In this study, a new series of indole-5-carbaldehyde hydrazone derivative compounds were designed, synthesized, and their antimicrobial activities were determined by the microdilution method, and the in vitro cytotoxic effects on Beas-2b cell lines were investigated by MTT assay. When the activity results were examined, 5i12 showed promising activity against E. faecalis with MIC: 2 µg/mL compared to ampicillin, gentamicin, and vancomycin, although the antimicrobial activities of the indole derivatives were generally weaker than those of the standard drugs. Compounds showed no cytotoxic activity on the A549, MCF-7, and Beas-2b cell lines. Molecular docking studies were performed on 15 different proteins to understand the mechanism of 5i12's good antimicrobial action against E. faecalis, and it was concluded that the compounds interacted with FabH, not enough other protein structures. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the protein-ligand stability of the most active compound against E. faecalis. The RMSD value of 5i12 varied between 0.02 and 0.16 nm during the MD simulation. The apoprotein peaked at 0.55 nm at the beginning of the simulation and stabilized below 0.5 nm. The theoretical ADME profiles of all compounds were calculated and found to comply with Lipinski and other limiting rules. In addition, some theoretical quantum parameters (HOMO-LUMO) of compounds, and both MEP analysis and geometric optimization analysis for 5i12 were calculated using the 6-311 G (d,p) base set and DFT/B3LYP theory, and the results were visualized.

Abstract
One strategy for solving the phytotoxicity of herbicides is to apply herbicide safeners that can efficiently alleviate the injuries of agricultural crops caused by herbicides. When metolachlor, a chloroacetamide herbicide, is applied with paddy rice, for example, the mechanisms associated with metolachlor and its residue negatively impact on the growth and yields of rice. To identify novel high-activity herbicide safener candidates for metolachlor, a series of (E)-4-(2-substituted hydrazinyl)-6-chloro-2-phenyl pyrimidines were synthesized and their structures were confirmed using IR (infrared radiation), 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS (high resolution mass spectrometry). The herbicide safener activities were then evaluated via primary tests. Compounds 3i and 3t were found to have the best herbicide activity on plant height. These compounds were then further screened for their activities at lower concentrations and showed better or similar activities compared to the positive control fenclorim, a commercial herbicide safener. The compounds 3i and 3t significantly enhanced glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity related with the herbicide safener activity in both shoots and roots tissues. Moreover, a qPCR (Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction) analysis found that the 3i and 3t treatments enhanced the expressions of OsGSTU3, OsGsTU39, and OsGSTF5. Finally, the results of an acute toxicity assessment with zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos using treatments 3i and 3t indicated they are relatively safe to aquatic organisms.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Tuberculosis is evidently a major health threat among human populations worldwide. The current study presents the synthesis of new 3-((7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)amino)thiazolidin-4-one analogs (4a–o) as potential Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase inhibitors. DNA gyrase regulates DNA topology in MTB and has been a target of choice for antibacterial therapy. With this in mind, the synthesized derivatives (4a–o) were subjected to in vitro antitubercular evaluation by the MABA method and were tested for MTB DNA gyrase inhibition by supercoiling assay.
Results
All the synthesized compounds displayed inhibition of MTB within the MIC range of 1.56–12.5 μM. Further, out of the selected compounds that underwent DNA gyrase inhibition, compound 4o proved to be a potent lead molecule by displaying 82% of enzyme inhibition at 1 μM. All the synthesized derivatives also underwent molecular docking studies to comprehend their hypothetical binding interactions with Mycobacterium smegmatis GyrB.
Conclusion
All the results suggested that most of the synthesized derivatives inhibited Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and some 3-((7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)amino)thiazolidin-4-one analogs could act as leads for the development of antitubercular agents.
