Abstract
Rising to the challenge of formidable multi-step reaction needed for the synthesis of polycyclic compounds, an efficient one-pot two-step procedure for the synthesis of densely functionalized novel pyrazolo[5″,1'':2',3']pyrimido[4',5':5,6] [1,4]thiazino[2,3-b]quinoxalines from synthetically accessible starting materials 6-bromo-7-chloro-3-cyano-2-(ethylthio)-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 3-aminoquinoxaline-2-thiol and some readily accessible alkyl halides was established. The domino reaction pathway involves cyclocondensation/N-alkylation sequence in K2CO3/N,N-dimethyl formamide under heating condition. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of all synthesized pyrazolo[5″,1'':2',3']pyrimido[4',5':5,6][1,4]thiazino[2,3-b]quinoxalines was evaluated to determine their antioxidant potentials. IC50 values were recorded in the range of 29-71 μM. N-benzyl substituted derivative represented the most effective antioxidant activity as well as antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells. Moreover, fluorescence in solution for these compounds exhibited strong red emission in the visible region (λflu. = 536-558 nm) with good to excellent quantum yields (61-95%). Due to their interesting fluorescence properties, these novel pentacyclic fluorophores can be used as fluorescent markers and probes for studies in biochemistry and pharmacology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quinoxaline and Tetrahydropyridine derivatives showed various biological properties. The combination of these two scaffolds may contribute to good biological activity and may give novel and efficacious bioactive candidates. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to identify bioactive agents with quinoxaline bearing tetrahydropyridine derivatives possessing anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-tubercular agents. METHOD A series of novel quinoxaline bearing tetrahydropyridine derivatives have been designed and synthesized in good yields. The synthetic protocol involves three-component Povarov reactions of 6-amino quinoxaline, propenyl guaethol, and substituted aldehydes using BF3•OEt2 as catalyst. The newly synthesized molecules were evaluated for their anticancer activity against four cell lines, i.e. A-549, MCF-7, PC-3, and HepG2. RESULTS The results from in vitro assay indicated that compound 4a proved to be as potent as the standard drug adriamycin against all cell lines with GI50 values <10 μg/ml. Compounds 4b, 4f, and 4i exhibited good cytotoxicity against A-549 cell line. All synthesized molecules were evaluated for their antioxidant activity and the results revealed that the compounds 4a, 4b, and 4i showed promising antioxidant activities against DPPH and H2O2 scavenging. In addition, the anti-mycobacterial activity of the synthesized compounds against MTB H37Rv strain was determined using MABA method. The results indicate that the compounds 4a, 4b, 4g, and 4i showed better anti-mycobacterial activity than the standard drugs pyrazinamide, ciprofloxacin and streptomycin with MIC value 1.6 μg/ml. Furthermore, molecular docking studies and ADME properties showed good pharmacokinetic profile and drug-likeness properties. CONCLUSION These studies showed that a series of novel quinoxaline bearing tetrahydropyridine derivatives exhibit anticancer, anti-mycobacterial, and antioxidant activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 4-Hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.27, HPPD) is one of the important target enzymes used to address the issue of weed control. HPPD-inhibiting herbicides can reduce the carotenoid content in plants and hinder photosynthesis, eventually causing albinism and death. Exploring novel HPPD-inhibiting herbicides is a significant direction in pesticide research. In the process of exploring new high-efficiency HPPD inhibitors, a series of novel quinoxaline derivatives were designed and synthesized using an active fragment splicing strategy. RESULTS The title compounds were unambiguously characterized by infrared, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectroscopy. The results of the in vitro tests indicated that the majority of the title compounds showed potent inhibition of Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD). Preliminary bioevaluation results revealed that a number of novel compounds displayed better or excellent herbicidal activity against broadleaf and monocotyledonous weeds. Compound III-5 showed herbicidal effects comparable to those of mesotrione at a rate of 150 g of active ingredient (ai)/ha for post-emergence application. The results of molecular dynamics verified that compound III-5 had a more stable protein-binding ability. Molecular docking results showed that compound III-5 and mesotrione shared homologous interplay with the surrounding residues. In addition, the enlarged aromatic ring system adds more force, and the hydrogen bond formed can enhance the synergy with π-π stacking. CONCLUSIONS The present work indicates that compound III-5 may be a potential lead structure for the development of new HPPD inhibitors.

Abstract
Recently, the well-known geographically wide distribution of sporotrichosis in Brazil, combined with the difficulties of effective domestic feline treatment, has emphasized the pressing need for new therapeutic alternatives. This work considers a range of synthetic derivatives as potential antifungals against Sporothrix brasiliensis isolated from cats from the hyperendemic Brazilian region. Six S. brasiliensis isolates from the sporotrichotic lesions of itraconazole responsive or non-responsive domestic cats were studied. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of three novel hydrazone derivatives and eleven novel quinone derivatives were determined using the broth microdilution method (M38-A2). In silico tests were also used to predict the pharmacological profile and toxicity parameters of these synthetic derivatives. MICs and MFCs ranged from 1 to >128 µg/mL. The ADMET computational analysis failed to detect toxicity while a good pharmacological predictive profile, with parameters similar to itraconazole, was obtained. Three hydrazone derivatives were particularly promising candidates as antifungal agents against itraconazole-resistant S. brasiliensis from the Brazilian hyperendemic region. Since sporotrichosis is a neglected zoonosis currently spreading in Latin America, particularly in Brazil, the present data can contribute to its future control by alternative antifungal drug design against S. brasiliensis, the most virulent and prevalent species of the hyperendemic context.

Abstract
Recently, several studies have demonstrated that diaminodicyanoquinone derivatives (DADQs) could present interesting fluorescence properties. Furthermore, some DADQs under the solid state are capable of showing quantum yields that can reach values of 90%. Besides, the diaminodiacyanoquinone core represents a versatile building block propense either to modification or integration into different systems to obtain and provide them unique photophysical features. Herein, we carried out a theoretical study on the fluorescence properties of three different diaminodicyanoquinodimethane systems. Therefore, time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) was used to obtain the values associated with the dipole moments, oscillator strengths, and the conformational energies between the ground and the first excited states of each molecule. The results suggest that only two of the three studied systems possess significant luminescent properties. In a further stage, the theoretical insights were confirmed by means of experimental measurements, which not only retrieved the photoluminescence of the DADQs, but also suggest a preliminary and promising antibacterial activity of these systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous and recent scientific research has shown that triazolopyrimidine and furochromones have a wide range of pharmacological activities for the treatment of numerous diseases, including anticancer, antiviral, anti-depressant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic activities. OBJECTIVE Preparation of new drugs derived from a natural furochromones as (1-hydrazinyl or methylthio),-furopyrimidoquinazolinone, 1, 2, 4-triazolopyrimidofuroquinazolin-5-one, and quinazoline- pyrimidofuro- quinazoline-8, 10-dione and the study of their biological activity as antimicrobial agents. METHODS A series of novel N'-furopyrimidoquinazoline-hydrazide; 1, 2, 4-triazolopyrimidofuroquinazolin- 5-one; furopyrimidoquinazolin-3-one and quinazoline-pyrimidofuroquinazoline-8, 10- dione derivatives were synthesized from substituted (methylthio)-furopyrimidoquinazolinone (3ab) and 1-hydrazinyl-furopyrimido- quinazolinone (4a-b) as the starting material. RESULTS All compounds were synthesized in good yields (71-95%) in a gradually efficient system under mild condition and some of the procedures were used such as microwave oven. The new compounds have been confirmed by means of different spectroscopic methods such as IR, 1D and 2D -NMR techniques and mass spectrum. The in vitro antimicrobial activities were evaluated for the prepared compounds using many types of bacteria (Gram-positive and Gram-negative) and fungi. CONCLUSION 1, 2, 4-triazolopyrimidofuroquinazolin-5-one derivatives (10a-f, 8a-b, 7a-b and 6a-d) showed the most efficient antimicrobial activities compared with the cefotaxime sodium and nystatin as standard drugs.

Abstract
Tuberculosis and fungal infections can pose serious threats to human health. In order to find novel antimicrobial agents, 26 novel quinoxaline-1,4-di-N-oxides containing a thiazolidinone moiety were designed and synthesized, and their antimycobacterial activities were evaluated. Among them, compounds 2t, 2u, 2y, and 2z displayed the most potent antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv (minimal inhibitory concentration [MIC] = 1.56 μg/mL). The antifungal activity of all the compounds was also evaluated against Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Cryptococcus neoformans. Compounds 2t, 2u, 2y, and 2z exhibited potential antifungal activities, with an MIC between 2 and 4 μg/mL. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA: q2 = 0.914, r2 = 0.967) and comparative molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA: q2 = 0.918, r2 = 0.968) models were established to investigate the structure and antimycobacterial activity relationship. The results of contour maps revealed that electronegative and sterically bulky substituents play an important role in the antimycobacterial activity. Electronegative and sterically bulky substituents are preferred at the C7 position of the quinoxaline ring and the C4 position of the phenyl group to increase the antimycobacterial activity. Additionally, more hydrogen bond donor substituents should be considered at the C2 side chain of the quinoxaline ring to improve the activity.

Abstract
We have successfully developed a flexible green aqueous approach for the formation of a carbon–carbon bond by the reaction of highly-enolizable carbanions (mostly derived from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds) with an aromatic carbon bearing a nitro group. The key step involves a nucleophilic displacement reaction. All newly synthesized compounds were unambiguously characterized via various spectroscopic techniques including NMR, mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction as applicable. We believe that our study will be useful in providing new insights into catalyst-free water-mediated nucleophilic substitution reactions. We have successfully developed a flexible green aqueous approach for the formation of a carbon–carbon bond by the reaction of highly-enolizable carbanions (mostly derived from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds) with an aromatic carbon bearing a nitro group.![]()

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Quinoxalines show diversified applications in the field of medicinal chemistry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Therefore, we have designed a highly efficient, environmentally benign and one-pot protocol for the synthesis of 2-phenylquinoxaline from the reaction of Acetophenone, N-bromosuccinimide and 1,2-phenylenediamine under ultrasound irradiation in glycerol-water. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION We observed that, although the reaction efficiently completed in all of these solvents, the use of glycerol-water with different ratios gives consistently higher yields (89-94%) and decreases reaction times. CONCLUSION The main advantages of this protocol are that it is a green method, avoids the use of toxic catalysts and volatile organic medium and the product is obtained with excellent yield.

Abstract
Potent inhibitors of an essential microbial enzyme have been shown to be effective growth inhibitors of Candida albicans, a pathogenic fungus. C. albicans is the main cause of oropharyngeal candidiasis, and also causes invasive fungal infections, including systemic sepsis, leading to serious complications in immunocompromised patients. As the rates of drug-resistant fungal infections continue to rise novel antifungal treatments are desperately needed. The enzyme aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASADH) is critical for the functioning of the aspartate biosynthetic pathway in microbes and plants. Because the aspartate pathway is absent in humans, ASADH has the potential to be a promising new target for antifungal research. Deleting the asd gene encoding for ASADH significantly decreases the survival of C. albicans, establishing this enzyme as essential for this organism. Previously developed ASADH inhibitors were tested against several strains of C. albicans to measure their possible therapeutic impact. The more potent inhibitors show a good correlation between enzyme inhibitor potency and fungal growth inhibition. Growth curves generated by incubating different C. albicans strains with varying enzyme inhibitor levels show significant slowing of fungal growth by these inhibitors against each of these strains, similar to the effect observed with a clinical antifungal drug. The most effective inhibitors also demonstrated relatively low cytotoxicity against a human epithelial cell line. Taken together, these results establish that the ASADH enzyme is a promising new target for further development as a novel antifungal treatment against C. albicans and related fungal species.

Abstract
Sporotrichosis is a neglected fungal infection caused by Sporothrix spp., which have a worldwide distribution. The standard antifungal itraconazole has been recommended as a first-line therapy. However, failure cases in human and feline treatment have been reported in recent years. This study aimed to synthesize several α- and β-2,3-dihydrofuranaphthoquinones and evaluate them against Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis—the main etiological agents of sporotrichosis in Brazil. The stability of these compounds was also investigated under different storage conditions for 3 months. The samples were removed at 0, 60, and 90 days and assessed by 1H-NMR, and their in vitro antifungal susceptibility was tested. Furthermore, we evaluated the superficial changes caused by the most effective and stable compounds using scanning electron microscopy and determined their effects when combined with itraconazole. Nine dihydrofuranaphthoquinones showed good antifungal activity and stability, with MIC values of 2–32 µM. Compounds 6 and 10 were the most active dihydrofuranaphthoquinones in vitro for both species; in fungi, these compounds induced yeast–hyphae conversion and alteration in the hyphae and conidia structures. Compound 10 also exhibited a synergistic activity with itraconazole against S. schenckii, with a ΣFIC index value of 0.3. Our results indicate that Compounds 6 and 10 are potential candidates for the development of new antifungal agents for the treatment of sporotrichosis.

Abstract
Two novel series of N-2,3-bis(6-substituted-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)naphthalene-1,4-diones 3a-d and substituted N-(methyl/ethyl)bisquinolinone triethyl-ammonium salts 4e,f were successfully synthesized. The synthesized compounds were targeted as new candidates to extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) with considerable antineoplastic activity. The synthesis involved the reactions of 2 equivalents of 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-quinolinones 1a-f and one equivalent of 1,4-naphthoquinone (2) in a mixture of ethanol/dimethylformamide (1:1) as a solvent and 0.5 mL Et3N. In the reaction of 6-methyl-4-hydroxyquinolone 1b with 2, a side product 4b of the second series was obtained. In general, the presence of free NH-quinolone gave a single compound of the first series, whereas reaction of N-methyl/ethyl-quinolones 1e,f with 2 enhanced the formation of compounds of the second series. The structures of the new compounds were proved by different spectroscopic techniques such as IR, NMR (2D-NMR) and mass spectra, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. To further elucidate the mechanism of action of these newly synthesized compounds, compounds 3a, 3b, 4e and 4f were selected to investigate for their MAP Kinases pathway inhibition together with molecular docking using ATP-binding site of ERK2. The results revealed that compounds 3a, 3b and 4f inhibited ETS-1 phosphorylation by ERK2 in a dose dependent manner. Also, compound 4f showed highest potency for ERK2 inhibition with ATP-competitive inhibition mechanism which was confirmed by the formation of three hydrogen bond in the molecular docking studies. The synthesized compounds were then tested for their in vitro anticancer activity against the NCI-60 panel of tumor cell lines. Interestingly, the selected compounds displayed from modest to strong cytotoxic activities. Compound 3b demonstrated broad spectrum anti-tumor activity against the nine tumor sub-panels tested, while compound 3d proved to be lethal to most of the cancer cell lines as shown by their promising GI50 and TGI values in NCI in vitro five dose testing. These results revealed that the synthesized compounds can potentially serve as leads for the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents and structure improvement will be necessary for some derivatives for enhancing their cellular activities and pharmacokinetic profile.

Abstract
AbstractThe oxidation of 1,4-diacetylbenzene using several oxidizing agents gave 1,4-phenylene-bis-glyoxal in 61–85% yields. A convenient and efficient synthesis of bis-quinoxaline and bis-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine derivatives involves the double condensation of 1,2-diamines with 1,4-phenylene-bis-glyoxal in ethanol under reflux conditions. The structures of the new products were defined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and mass spectrometry (MS).

Abstract
Naphthoquinones are the most commonly occurring type of quinones in nature. They are a diverse family of secondary metabolites that occur naturally in plants, lichens and various microorganisms. This subgroup is constantly being expanded through the discovery of new natural products and by the synthesis of new compounds via innovative techniques. Interest in quinones and the search for new biological activities within the members of this class have intensified in recent years, as evidenced by the evaluation of the potential antimicrobial activities of quinones. Among fungi of medical interest, yeasts of the genus Candida are of extreme importance due to their high frequency of colonization and infection in humans. The objective of this review is to describe the development of naphthoquinones as antifungals for the treatment of Candida species and to note the most promising compounds. By using certain criteria for selection of publications, 68 reports involving both synthetic and natural naphthoquinones are discussed. The activities of a large number of substances were evaluated against Candida albicans as well as against 7 other species of the genus Candida. The results discussed in this review allowed the identification of 30 naphthoquinones with higher antifungal activities than those of the currently used drugs.

Design, Synthesis and Cytotoxic Evaluation of Novel Chalcone Derivatives Bearing Triazolo[4,3-a]-quinoxaline Moieties as Potent Anticancer Agents with Dual EGFR Kinase and Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitory Effects. Molecules 2017; 23:molecules23010048. [PMID: 29280968 PMCID: PMC5943945 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23010048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2017] [Revised: 12/20/2017] [Accepted: 12/22/2017] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
A series of hybrid of triazoloquinoxaline-chalcone derivatives 7a–k were designed, synthesized, fully characterized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against three target cell lines: human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), human colon carcinoma (HCT-116), and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HEPG-2). The preliminary results showed that some of these chalcones like 7b–c, and 7e–g exhibited significant antiproliferative effects against most of the cell lines, with selective or non-selective behavior, indicated by IC50 values in the 1.65 to 34.28 µM range. In order to investigate the mechanistic aspects of these active compounds, EGFR TK and tubulin inhibitory activities were measured as further biological assays. The EGFR TK assay results revealed that the derivatives 7a–c, 7e, and 7g could inhibit the EGFR TK in the submicromolar range (0.093 to 0.661 µM). Moreover, an antitubulin polymerization effect was noted for the active derivatives compared to the reference drug colchicine, with compounds 7e and 7g displaying 14.7 and 8.4 micromolar activity, respectively. Furthermore, a molecular docking study was carried out to explain the observed effects and the binding modes of these chalcones with the EGFR TK and tubulin targets.

Abstract
Fifteen new substituted N-2-(2-oxo-3-phenylquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl) acetamides 5a-f, 6a-f, and 8a-c were synthesized by reacting ethyl 2-(2-oxo-3-phenylquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)acetate with various primary amines including benzylamines, sulfonamides, and amino acids. The in vitro antimicrobial screening of the target compounds was screened to assess their antibacterial and antifungal activity. As a result, seven compounds namely; 5a, 5c, 5d, 6a, 6c, 8b and 8c showed a promising broad spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. Among these, the analogs 5c and 6d were nearly as equiactive as ciprofloxacin drug. Meanwhile, four compounds namely; 5c, 6a, 6f and 8c exhibited appreciable antifungal activity with MIC values range 33-40 mg/mL comparable with clotrimazole (MIC 25 mg/mL). In addition, the anticancer effects of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against three cancer lines. The data obtained revealed the benzylamines and sulpha derivatives were the most active compounds especially 5f and 6f ones. Further EGFR enzymatic investigation was carried out for these most active compounds 5f and 6f resulting in inhibitory activity by 1.89 and 2.05 µM respectively. Docking simulation was performed as a trial to study the mechanisms and binding modes of these compounds toward the enzyme target, EGFR protein kinase enzyme. The results revealed good compounds placement in the active sites and stable interactions similar to the co-crystallized reference ligand. Collectively, the analogs 5f and 6f could be further utilized and optimized as good cytotoxic agents.

Abstract
In the title compound, C24H38N2O2, the heterocyclic ring (r.m.s. = 0.015 Å) deviates from planarity to a greater extent than the benzene ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å). In the crystal, the molecules pack to form polar and non-polar regions. The major intermolecular interaction appears to be complementary π-stacking between oppositely oriented tetrahydroquinoxaline units.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders with notable factor of dysfunction in cholinergic system. Low ACh level can be observed in the pathogenesis of AD. Several AChE inhibitors have already been used for clinical treatments. However, other than normal conditions, ACh is mostly hydrolyzed by BuChE in progressed AD. Account for an increased level of BuChE and decreased level of AChE in the late stage of AD, development of selective BuChE inhibitor is of vital importance. Up till now, compounds with various scaffolds have been discovered to selectively inhibit BuChE. Different effective anti-BuChE molecules are concluded in this review.

Abstract
Several O- and S-quinoxaline glycosides have been prepared by glycosidation of 3-methyl-2-oxo(thioxo)-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 1a,b with α-D-glucopyranosyl, α-D-galactopyranosyl, and α-D-lactosyl bromide in the presence of K2CO3 followed by deacetylation with Et3N/H2O. Furthermore, alkylation of 1a,b with 4-bromobutyl acetate, 2-acetoxyethoxymethyl bromide, and 3-chloropropanol afforded the corresponding O- and S-acycloquinoxaline nucleosides. Reaction of 1b with chloroacetic acid followed by condensation with sulfacetamide and sulfadiazine in the presence of Et3N/THF and ethyl chloroformate gave the corresponding sulfonamide derivatives 14 and 15, respectively. The structures of new compounds were confirmed by using IR, (1)H, (13)C NMR spectra and microanalysis. Some of these compounds were screened in vitro for antitumor and antifungal activities.

Abstract
An alternative approach to the synthesis of a series of new pyrimido[5′,4′:5,6][1,4]thiazino[2,3-b]quinoxaline derivatives is described. Reaction of 5-bromo-2,4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine and 3-aminoquinoxaline-2-thiol leads to the key intermediate 3-[(5-bromo-2-chloro-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl)thio]quinoxalin-2-amine. This intermediate can be transformed into the title ring systems by subsequent treatment either with secondary amines followed by intramolecular cyclisation or initial intramolecular cyclisation with subsequent reaction with secondary amines.

Abstract
Different substituted phenylhydrazone groups were linked to the quinoxaline scaffold to provide 26 compounds (6a-6z). Their structures were confirmed by (1)H and (13)C NMR, MS, elemental analysis, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The antifungal activities of these compounds against Rhizoctonia solani were evaluated in vitro. Compound 6p is the most promising one among all the tested compounds with an EC50 of 0.16 μg·mL(-1), more potent than the coassayed positive control fungicide carbendazim (EC50: 1.42 μg·mL(-1)). In addition, these compounds were subjected to antioxidant assay by employing diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and mice microsome lipid peroxidation (LPO) methods. Most of these compounds are potent antioxidants. The strongest compounds are 6e (EC50: 7.60 μg·mL(-1), DPPH) and 6a (EC50: 0.96 μg·mL(-1), LPO), comparative to or more potent than the positive control Trolox [EC50: 5.90 μg·mL(-1) (DPPH) and 18.23 μg·mL(-1) (LPO)]. The structure and activity relationships were also discussed.
