[PMID: 36235305 PMCID: PMC9571093 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27196770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Hydrazones are active compounds having an azomethine –NHN=CH group and are widely studied owing to their ease of preparation and diverse pharmacological benefits. Novel isonicotinic hydrazone derivatives of vanillin aldehyde and salicyl aldehyde were synthesized that had azomethine linkages and were characterized by UV–Visible, FTIR, EI-MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilus, and Escherichia coli using disc diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods. For cytotoxicity, a brine shrimp lethality test was performed to calculate the lethal concentration (LC50). The results demonstrated appreciable antibacterial activities against the applied strains, amongst which the compounds coded NH3 and NH5 showed maximum inhibition and MIC responses. In terms of cytotoxic activity, the maximum effect was observed in compound NH5 and NH6 treatments with minimum survival percentages of 36.10 ± 3.45 and 32.44 ± 2.0, respectively. These hydrazones could be potential candidates in antitumorigenic therapy against various human cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is the first or second leading cause of premature death in 134 of 183 countries in the world. 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles are five memebered heterocyclic rings containing two nitrogen (two atoms) and oxygen (one atom). They show better thermal stability, metabolic stability, aqueous solubility and lower lipophilicity than the other isomeric oxadiazoles. They are important class of heterocycles present in many drug structures like Raltegravir, Furamizole Tidazosin, Nesapidil, Setileuton (MK-0633) and Zibotentan. Presence of this nucleus in the therapeutics has made them an indispensable anchor for drug design and development. Several 1,3,4-oxadiazoles are prepared and reported as anticancer agents by numerous scientists worldwide. OBJECTIVES The present review discusses the anticancer potentials together with the molecular targets of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles reported since 2010. The structure activity relationship (SAR) and molecular docking simulation on different targets have also been discussed herein. Some of the important cancer targets have also been explored. METHODS The most potent 1,3,4-oxadiazoles reported in literature was highlighted in the manuscript. The anticancer activity was reported in terms of growth percent (GP), percent growth inhibition (%GI), GI50, IC50, and LC50 and TGI. RESULTS 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles are an important heterocyclic scaffolds with broad spectrum biological activities. They may be either mono substituted or disubstituted and act as an indispensable anchor for drug design and discovery due to their thermal stability together with low lipophilicity. They exhibited anticancer potentials and showed the inhibitions of various cancer targets. CONCLUSION The discussion outlined herein will proved to be a helpful and vital tool for medicinal chemists investigating and working with 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and anticancer research programs.

Abstract
In search of new active molecules against MCF-7, A549 and HepG2, tetrazole based pyrazoline and isoxazoline derivatives under both conventional and ultrasonic irradiation method were designed and efficiently synthesized. Structures of newly synthesized compounds 5a-h and 6a-h were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Several derivatives were found to be excellent cytotoxic against MCF-7, A549 and HepG2 cell lines characterized by lower IC50 values (0.78-3.12 µg/mL). Compounds 5b and 5c demonstrated an antiproliferative effect comparable to that of CA-4. Western blot analysis revealed that, reported compounds accumulate more tubulin in the soluble fraction. Docking studies suggested that, binding of these compounds mimics at the colchicine site of tubulin. In vitro study revealed that the tetrazole based pyrazolines and isoxazolines may possess ideal structural requirements for further development of novel therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of mortality all around the world. Globally, nearly 1 in 6
deaths is due to cancer. Researchers are trying to synthesize new anticancer agents. Previous studies
demonstrated that some pyrazole derivatives could be considered as potential anticancer agents. Herein,
ten novel derivatives of 1,5-diarylpyrazole were synthesized in four step reactions and cytotoxic activity
was investigated by MTT cell viability assay. All of the compounds were characterized by 1H
NMR and 13C NMR and their purity was confirmed by elemental analysis. The cytotoxicity was determined
against three cancerous cell lines (HT-29, U87MG and MDA-MB 468) and AGO1522 as a
normal cell line. Compound 5a showed the best cytotoxic activity on cancerous cell lines in comparison
to paclitaxel. Annexin V/ PI staining assay also showed that compounds 5a and 5i would lead to
significant apoptosis induction in MDA-MB 486 cell line.

Abstract
Microtubules are essential for the mitotic division of cells and have been an attractive target
for antitumour drugs due to the increased incidence of cancer and significant mitosis rate of tumour cells.
In the past few years, tubulin-colchicine binding site, as one of the three binding pockets including taxol-,
vinblastine- and colchicine-binding sites, has been focused on to design tubulin-destabilizing agents including
inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates and degradation agents. The present review is the first to
cover a systemic and recent synopsis of tubulin-colchicine binding site agents. We believe that it would
provide an increase in our understanding of receptor-ligand interaction pattern and consciousness of a
series of challenges about tubulin target druggability.

Abstract
1,3,4-Oxadiazole, a five-membered aromatic ring can be seen in a number of synthetic molecules. The peculiar structural feature of 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring with pyridine type of nitrogen atom is beneficial for 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives to have effective binding with different enzymes and receptors in biological systems through numerous weak interactions, thereby eliciting an array of bioactivities. Research in the area of development of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-based derivatives has become an interesting topic for the scientists. A number of 1,3,4-oxadiazole based compounds with high therapeutic potency are being extensively used for the treatment of different ailments, contributing to enormous development value. This work provides a systematic and comprehensive review highlighting current developments of 1,3,4-oxadiazole based compounds in the entire range of medicinal chemistry such as anticancer, antifungal, antibacterial, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, antineuropathic, antihypertensive, antihistaminic, antiparasitic, antiobesity, antiviral, and other medicinal agents. It is believed that this review will be of great help for new thoughts in the pursuit for rational designs for the development of more active and less toxic 1,3,4-oxadiazole based medicinal agents.

Abstract
Background Pyridinium Schiff bases and ionic liquids have attracted increasing interest in medicinal chemistry. Results A library of 32 cationic fluorinated pyridinium hydrazone-based amphiphiles tethering fluorinated counteranions was synthesized by alkylation of 4-fluoropyridine hydrazone with various long alkyl iodide exploiting lead quaternization and metathesis strategies. All compounds were assessed for their anticancer inhibition activity towards different cancer cell lines and the results revealed that increasing the length of the hydrophobic chain of the synthesized analogues appears to significantly enhance their anticancer activities. Substantial increase in caspase-3 activity was demonstrated upon treatment with the most potent compounds, namely 8, 28, 29 and 32 suggesting an apoptotic cellular death pathway. Conclusions Quantum-polarized ligand docking studies against phosphoinositide 3-kinase α displayed that compounds 2–6 bind to the kinase site and form H-bond with S774, K802, H917 and D933. ![]() Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (10.1186/s13065-018-0489-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

[PMID: 27138035 PMCID: PMC4853715 DOI: 10.1038/srep25387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2016] [Accepted: 04/18/2016] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A series of 12 novel acylhydrazone, chalcone and amide–bridged analogues of combretastatin A-4 were designed and synthesized toward tubulin. All these compounds were determined by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, and MS. Among them, compound 7 with acylhydrazone-bridge, bearing a benzyl at the indole-N position, was identified as a potent antiproliferative agent against a panel of cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.08 to 35.6 μM. In contrast, its cytotoxic effects on three normal human cells were minimal. Cellular studies have revealed that the induction of apoptosis by compound 7 was associated with a collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, alterations in the expression of some cell cycle-related proteins (Cyclin B1, Cdc25c, Cdc2, P21) and some apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, PARP, Bcl-2, Caspase3). The docking mode showed the binding posture of CA-4 and compound 7 are similar in the colchicine-binding pocket of tubulin, as confirmed by colchicine-tubulin competitive binding assay, tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity, extracellular protein expression determination assay and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. In vivo study, compound 7 effectively inhibited A549 xenograft tumor growth without causing significant loss of body weight suggesting that compound 7 is a promising new antimitotic agent with clinical potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Synthesis of new potential antimicrobial agents and evaluation of their lipophilicity. METHODS Ten new thiazolyl-oxadiazoline derivatives were synthesized and their structures were validated by 1H-NMR and mass spectrometry. The lipophilicity of the compounds was evaluated using the principal component analysis (PCA) method. The necessary data for applying this method were obtained by reverse-phase thin-layer chromatography (RP-TLC). The antimicrobial activities were tested in vitro against four bacterial strains and one fungal strain. RESULTS The lipophilicity varied with the structure but could not be correlated with the antimicrobial activity, since this was modest. CONCLUSIONS We have synthesized ten new heterocyclic compounds. After their physical and chemical characterization, we determined their lipophilicity and screened their antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
A series of heterocyclic combretastatin analogues have been synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against a panel of 60 human cancer cell lines. The most potent compounds were two 3,4,5-trimethoxy phenyl analogues containing either an (Z)-indol-2-yl (8) or (Z)-benzo[b]furan-2-yl (12) moiety; these compounds exhibited GI50 values of <10 nM against 74% and 70%, respectively, of the human cancer cell lines in the 60-cell panel. Compounds 8, and 12 and two previously reported compounds in the same structural class, i.e. 29 and 31, also showed potent anti-leukemic activity against leukemia MV4-11 cell lines with LD50 values = 44 nM, 47 nM, 18 nM, and 180 nM, respectively. From the NCI anti-cancer screening results and the data from the in vitro toxicity screening on cultured AML cells, seven compounds: 8, 12, 21, 23, 25, 29 and 31 were screened for their in vitro inhibitory activity on tubulin polymerization in MV4-11 AML cells; at 50 nM, 8 and 29 inhibited polymerization of tubulin by >50%. The binding modes of the three most active compounds (8, 12 and 29) to tubulin were also investigated utilizing molecular docking studies. All three molecules were observed to bind in the same hydrophobic pocket at the interface of α- and β-tubulin that is occupied by colchicine, and were stabilized by van der Waals' interactions with surrounding tubulin residues. The results from the tubulin polymerization and molecular docking studies indicate that compounds 8 and 29 are the most potent anti-leukemic compounds in this structural class, and are considered lead compounds for further development as anti-leukemic drugs.

A series of metronidazole-thiazole derivatives has been designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential antibacterial inhibitors. All the synthesized compounds were determined by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and MS. They were also tested for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as for the inhibition to FabH. The results showed that compound 5e exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against E. coli FabH with IC50 of 4.9μM. Molecular modeling simulation studies were performed in order to predict the biological activity of proposed compounds. Toxicity assay of compounds 5a, 5b, 5d, 5e, 5g and 5i showed that they were noncytotoxic against human macrophage. The results revealed that these compounds offered remarkable viability.

Abstract
Novel types of 17-exo-heterocycles in the Δ(5) androstene series carrying an 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were efficiently synthesized via aldehyde N-acylhydrazone intermediates, obtained from the microwave-assisted condensation of 3β-hydroxy- or 3β-acetoxyandrost-5-ene-17β-carbaldehyde with different acylhydrazides. The subsequent phenyl iodonium diacetate-induced oxidative cyclization proceeded under mild conditions. The synthesized compounds were subjected to in vitro pharmacological studies to investigate their antiproliferative activities on four malignant adherent cell lines (HeLa, MCF7, A2780 and A431), and exhibited the highest potency against HeLa cells, some of them revealing action comparable to that of the reference agent cisplatin.

Abstract
Taking into account the rising trend of the incidence of cancers of various organs, effective therapies are urgently needed to control human malignancies. The rapid emergence of hundreds of new agents that modulate an ever-growing list of cancer-specific molecular targets offers tremendous hope for cancer patients. However, almost all of the chemotherapy drugs currently on the market cause serious side effects. Based on these facts, the design of new chemical entities as anticancer agents requires the simulation of a suitable bioactive pharmacophore. The pharmacophore not only should have the required potency but must also be safer on normal cell lines than on tumor cells. In this perspective, oxadiazole scaffolds with well-defined anticancer activity profile have fueled intense academic and industrial research in recent years. This paper is intended to highlight the recent advances along with current developments as well as future outlooks for the design of novel and efficacious anticancer agents based on oxadiazole motifs.

Abstract
Cyclic nitrones of estrone 3-methyl or 3-benzyl ether were reacted with phenyl isocyanate or nonsubstituted phenyl isocyanates as reactive CN dipolarophiles, yielding condensed homosteroidal oxadiazolidinones. These dipolar cycloadditions were carried out under conventional heating or microwave irradiation. The chemo- and stereoselectivities of the reactions and the effects of the aromatic substituents on the reaction rates and yields were investigated and compared. The structures of the new products were determined by NMR (one- and two-dimensional) and MALDI-MS techniques, with C70 fullerenes as matrix in the latter case. The antiproliferative properties of the synthetized compounds were determined on a panel of human adherent cell lines (HeLa, MCF7, A2780 and A431) by means of MTT assays. Some of them exhibited activities comparable to that of the reference agent cisplatin. Flow cytometry indicated that one of the most potent agents (11a) resulted in a cell cycle blockade.

Abstract
A new library of small molecules with structural features resembling combretastatin analogs was synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity against a panel of 60 human cancer cell lines. Three novel acrylonitrile analogs (5, 6 and 13) caused a significant reduction in cell growth in almost all the cell lines examined, with GI50 values generally in the range 10-100 nM. Based on the structural characteristics of similar drugs, we hypothesized that the cytotoxic activity was likely due to interaction with tubulin. Furthermore, these compounds appeared to overcome cell-associated P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated resistance, since they were equipotent in inhibiting OVCAR8 and NCI/ADR-Res cell growth. Given that antitubulin drugs are among the most effective agents for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer we sought to validate the results from the 60 cell panel by studying the representative analog 6 utilizing prostate cancer cell lines, as well as exploring the molecular mechanism of the cytotoxic action of this analog.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The oxadiazoles represent a class of five-membered heterocyclic compounds which are of considerable interest in different areas of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Oxadiazoles can exist in different regioisomeric forms and employ in various agents with a broad range of biological activities. This review covers the work reported on various biological activities of oxadiazole derivatives from 2010 to 2012. AREAS COVERED Oxadiazole derivatives attract great attention due to their different kinds of pharmaceutical activities including antiviral, antimicrobial, anticancer, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity. This paper provides a general review of oxadiazole derivatives published in international journals and patented between 2010 and 2012. EXPERT OPINION Oxadiazoles have been used frequently in drug-like molecules as bioisosteres for ester and amide functionalities and displayed numerous prominent pharmacological effects. The broad pharmacological profile of oxadiazole derivatives has attracted the attention of many researchers to explore this scaffold to its multiple potential against several activities. Therefore, oxadiazole motif is likely to be present in other therapeutic molecules in the future.
