[PMID: 39255607 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2024] [Revised: 08/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024]
Abstract
The need for targeted pest control strategies has led to the development of juvenile hormone (JH) mimics that selectively disrupt the life cycles of harmful insect species. Present study focuses on the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of sulfonyl-acetohydrazide derivatives (H1-H8) as novel JH mimics on two different insect species, with an emphasis on their insect-specific action. The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti and cabbage leaf borer, Spodoptera litura, were selected for this investigation. Our results indicate that while these compounds exhibit negligible effects on the development of Aedes aegypti, they demonstrate a potent and specific action against Spodoptera litura. The sulfonyl-acetohydrazide derivatives induced significant developmental abnormalities and increased mortality rates in Spodoptera litura larvae, leading to a marked disruption in their life cycle. Additionally, Density Functional Theory methods were employed to elucidate the electronic structure and corelate the reactivity of the synthesized compounds with the insect growth regulating activity (IGR). The DNA-binding study of synthesized JH analogs has been carried out using UV-vis spectroscopy for toxicity assessment against biomolecule DNA. All the synthesized JH analogs (H1-H8) show IGR action and exhibit better reactivity and reduced toxicity as compared to the commercial in use IGR, pyriproxyfen.

Abstract
New quinazolin-4-ones 9-32 were synthesized in an attempt to overcome the life-threatening antibiotic resistance phenomenon. The antimicrobial screening revealed that compounds 9, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20 and 29 are the most broad spectrum antimicrobial agents in this study with safe profile on human cell lines. Additionally, compounds 19 and 20 inhibited biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is regulated by quorum sensing system, at sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) with IC50 values 3.55 and 6.86 µM, respectively. By assessing other pseudomonal virulence factors suppression, it was found that compound 20 decreased cell surface hydrophobicity compromising bacterial cells adhesion, while both compounds 19 and 20 curtailed the exopolysaccharide production which constitutes the major component of the matrix binding biofilm components together. Also, at sub-MICs Pseudomonas cells twitching motility was impeded by compounds 19 and 20, a trait which augments the cells pathogenicity and invasion potential. Molecular docking study was performed to further evaluate the binding mode of candidates 19 and 20 as inhibitors of P. aeruginosa quorum sensing transcriptional regulator PqsR. The achieved results demonstrate that both compounds bear promising potential for discovering new anti-biofilm and quorum quenching agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa without triggering resistance mechanisms as the normal bacterial life cycle is not disturbed.

Abstract
In this 21st century, Malaria remains a global burden and causes massive economic trouble to disease-endemic nations. The control and eradication of malaria is a major challenge that requires an urgent need to develop novel antimalarial drugs. To overcome the aforementioned situation, several researchers have given significant effort to develop hybrid antimalarial agents in the search for new antimalarial drugs. Hence, we have summarized those developments of hybrid antimalarial agents from 2017 to till date. This review illustrates the current progress in the recent synthesis of hybrid antimalarial agents along with focusing on their antimalarial evaluation to find the most potent hybrids. This present mini-review will also be useful for the scientific community for the development of new antimalarial drugs to eradicate malaria.

Abstract
Despite effective prevention methods, malaria is a devastating, persistent infection caused by protozoal parasites that result in nearly half a million fatalities annually. Any progress made thus far in the eradication of the disease is jeopardized by the expansion of malaria parasites that have evolved to become resistant to a wide range of drugs, including first-line therapy. To surmount this significant obstacle, it is necessary to develop newly synthesized drugs with multiple modes of action that may have a novel target in various stages of Plasmodium parasite development and this is made possible by the hybridization concept. Hybridization is the combination of at least two diverse pharmacophore units with some linkers bringing about a single molecule with a diverse mode of action. It intensifies a drug's physiological and chemical characteristics, such as absorption, cellular target contact, metabolism, excretion, distribution, and toxicity. This review article outlines the currently published most potent hybrid drugs against the Plasmodium species.

Abstract
Malaria is a widespread infectious disease, causing nearly 247 million cases in 2021. The absence of a broadly effective vaccine and rapidly decreasing effectiveness of most of the currently used antimalarials are the major challenges to malaria eradication efforts. To design and develop novel antimalarials, we synthesized a series of 4,7-dichloroquinoline and methyltriazolopyrimidine analogues using a multi-component Petasis reaction. The synthesized molecules (11-31) were screened for in-vitro antimalarial activity against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum with an IC50 value of 0.53 μM. The selected compounds were screened to evaluate in-vitro and in-silico enzyme inhibition efficacy against two cysteine proteases, PfFP2 and PfFP3. The compounds 15 and 17 inhibited PfFP2 with an IC50 = 3.5 and 4.8 μM, respectively and PfFP3 with an IC50 = 4.9 and 4.7 μM, respectively. Compounds 15 and 17 were found equipotent against the Pf3D7 strain with an IC50 value of 0.74 μM, whereas both were displayed IC50 values of 1.05 μM and 1.24 μM for the PfW2 strain, respectively. Investigation of effect of compounds on parasite development demonstrated that compounds were able to arrest the growth of the parasites at trophozoite stage. The selected compounds were screened for in-vitro cytotoxicity against mammalian lines and human red-blood-cell (RBC), which demonstrated no significant cytotoxicity associated with the molecules. In addition, in silico ADME prediction and physiochemical properties supported the drug-likeness of the synthesized molecules. Thus, the results highlighted the diphenylmethylpiperazine group cast on 4,7-dichloroquinoline and methyltriazolopyrimidine using Petasis reaction may serve as models for the development of new antimalarial agents.

Abstract
Abstract
Green chemistry has been most compelling area of research. Green chemistry is vital to long-term sustainability, not only because of its fundamental notion of reducing the use and manufacture of hazardous materials, but also because of its broad applicability as one of the most efficient and problem-solving pathways for the synthesis of new materials. Various chemists have studied a plethora of strategies to lessen the release of hazardous chemical waste, waste material recyclization and reuse. New techniques have been created based on a green chemistry strategy that includes the utilization of catalysts, nanosized materials and composites, such as metal and non-metal nanoparticles, their oxides and salts, and different heterocyclic rings. Quinazolines and quinazolinones are biologically significant heterocyclic rings with a wide range of characteristics. In a summary, this chapter focuses on recent novel synthesis methods for quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives, which are vital to humanity.

Abstract
In this study, a new series of quinazolinone-pyrazole hybrids were designed, synthesized and screened for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The results of the in vitro screening indicated that all the molecular hybrids exhibited more inhibitory activity (IC50 values ranging from 60.5 ± 0.3 µM-186.6 ± 20 μM) in comparison to standard acarbose (IC50 = 750.0 ± 10.0 µM). Limited structure-activity relationship suggested that the variation in the inhibitory activities of the compounds affected by different substitutions on phenyl rings of diphenyl pyrazole moiety. The enzyme kinetic studies of the most potent compound 9i revealed that it inhibited α-glucosidase in a competitive mode with a Ki of 56 μM. Molecular docking study was performed to predict the putative binding interaction. As expected, all pharmacophoric moieties used in the initial structure design playing a pivotal role in the interaction with the binding site of the enzyme. In addition, by performing molecular dynamic investigation and MM-GBSA calculation, we investigated the difference in structural perturbation and dynamic behavior that is observed over α-glycosidase in complex with the most active compound and acarbose relative to unbound α-glycosidase enzyme.

Abstract
Surfactants with their diverse activities have been recently involved in controlling the spread of new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as they are capable of disrupting the membrane surrounding the virus. Using hybrids approach, we constructed a novel series of cationic surfactant-sulfonamide conjugates (3a-g) through quaternization of the as-prepared sulfonamide derivatives (2a-g) with n-hexadecyl iodide followed by structural characterization by spectroscopy (IR and NMR). Being collective properties required in petroleum-processing environment, the petro-collecting/dispersing capacities on the surface of waters with different degrees of mineralization, and the antimicrobial performance against microbes and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that mitigate microbiological corrosion were investigated for the synthesized conjugates. Among these conjugates, 3g (2.5% aq. solution) exhibited the strongest ability to disperse the thin petroleum film on the seawater surface, whereas KD is 95.33% after 96 h. In diluted form, 3f collected the petroleum layer on distilled water surface (Kmax = 32.01) for duration exceeds 4 days. Additionally, almost all compounds revealed high potency and comparable action with standard antimicrobials, especially 3b and 3f, which emphasize their role as potential biocides. Regarding biocidal activity against SRB, 3g causes a significant reduction in the bacterial count from 2.8 × 106 cells/mL to Nil. Moreover, the conducted molecular docking study confirms the strong correlation between RNA polymerase binding with bioactivity against microbes over other studied proteins (threonine synthase and cyclooxygenase-2).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Due to emerging resistance to the first-line artemisinin-based antimalarials and lack of efficient vaccines and limited chemotherapeutic alternatives, there is an urgent need to develop new antimalarial compounds. In this regard, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling can provide essential information about required physicochemical properties and structural parameters of antimalarial drug candidates. AREAS COVERED The authors provide an overview of recent advances of QSAR models covering different classes of antimalarial compounds as well as molecular docking studies of compounds acting on different antimalarial targets reported in the last 5 years (2015-2019) to explore the mode of interactions between the molecules and the receptors. We have tried to cover most of the QSAR models of antimalarials (along with results from some other related computational methods) reported during 2015-2019. EXPERT OPINION Many QSAR reports for antimalarial compounds are based on small number of data points. This review infers that most of the present work deals with analog-based QSAR approach with a limited applicability domain (a very few cases with wide domain) whereas novel target-based computational approach is reported in very few cases, which leads to huge voids of computational work based on novel antimalarial targets.

Abstract
Due to the pharmacological activities of quinazoline and quinazolinone scaffolds, it has aroused great interest in medicinal chemists for the development of new drugs or drug candidates. The pharmacological activities of quinazoline and its related scaffolds include anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-convulsant, and antihyperlipidaemia. Recently, molecular hybridization technology is used for the development of hybrid analogues with improved potency by combining two or more pharmacophores of bioactive scaffolds. The molecular hybridization of various biologically active pharmacophores with quinazoline derivatives resulted in lead compounds with multi-faceted biological activity wherein specific as well as multiple targets were involved. The present review summarizes the advances in lead compounds of quinazoline hybrids and their related heterocycles in medicinal chemistry. Moreover, the review also helps to intensify the drug development process by providing an understanding of the potential role of these hybridized pharmacophoric features in exhibiting various pharmacological activities. Recent advances in quinazoline/quinazolinone hybrid heterocycles in medicinal chemistry and their pharmacological diversification.![]()

Abstract
Malaria is a tropical infectious disease that affects over 219 million people worldwide. Due to the constant emergence of parasitic resistance to the current antimalarial drugs, the discovery of new antimalarial drugs is a global health priority. Multi-target drug discovery is a promising and innovative strategy for drug discovery and it is currently regarded as one of the best strategies to face drug resistance. Aiming to identify new multi-target antimalarial drug candidates, we developed an integrative computational approach to select multi-kinase inhibitors for Plasmodium falciparum calcium-dependent protein kinases 1 and 4 (CDPK1 and CDPK4) and protein kinase 6 (PK6). For this purpose, we developed and validated shape-based and machine learning models to prioritize compounds for experimental evaluation. Then, we applied the best models for virtual screening of a large commercial database of drug-like molecules. Ten computational hits were experimentally evaluated against asexual blood stages of both sensitive and multi-drug resistant P. falciparum strains. Among them, LabMol-171, LabMol-172, and LabMol-181 showed potent antiplasmodial activity at nanomolar concentrations (EC50 ≤ 700 nM) and selectivity indices >15 folds. In addition, LabMol-171 and LabMol-181 showed good in vitro inhibition of P. berghei ookinete formation and therefore represent promising transmission-blocking scaffolds. Finally, docking studies with protein kinases CDPK1, CDPK4, and PK6 showed structural insights for further hit-to-lead optimization studies.
