[PMID: 38468950 PMCID: PMC10925991 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e26735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, heterocyclic compounds such as pyrido [2,3-d] pyrimidinones, 1,2,4-triazolopyrimidines, pyrimidoquinazolines, and quinoline derivatives have gained attention from researchers due to their pharmacological and biological activities. To synthesize new compounds, quinoline-2-thioxopyrido [2,3-d] pyrimidinone (1) and methylthioquinoline-pyrido [2,3-d] pyrimidinones (2) were used as starting materials. The new compounds synthesized were quinoline-pyrido [2,3-d] (DeGoey et al., 2013; Gouda et al., 2020; Dangolani et al., 2018) [1, 2,4]triazolopyrimidinones (5a-d), 2-methylsulfonyl-quinoline-pyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidinone (6), pyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, pyridopyrimido (Gouda et al., 2020; DeGoey et al., 2013) 2,12,1-b] quinazoline (9), pyrido [(Khajouei et al., 2021; Gouda et al., 2020) 3,23,2-e]bis (1,2,4-triazole)pyrimidine (12a,b) and pyridopyrimido-diquinazoline-dione (16) derivatives. These compounds were synthesized with high efficiency, producing yields ranging from 69% to 90%, under moderate conditions, through treating (2) or (10) with various reagents such as anthranilic acid, phosphorus oxychloride, hydrazine hydrate, formic acid, glacial acetic acid, arylamine (aniline, 4-chloroaniline, or 4-methoxyaniline), and sec-amine (piperazine or morpholine). The new structures of the synthesized compounds were verified using various spectroscopic procedures, such as IR, NMR, and mass spectra. Molecular docking studies were carried out to investigate and discuss how the prepared compounds bind to amino acids such as Estrogen Receptor alpha, EGFR, and NADPH oxidase protein. Also, the synthesized products were tested for their anticancer and antioxidant activities against the (MCF-7) breast carcinoma cell line and human normal Retina pigmented epithelium cells (RPE-1). The study on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) established a correlation between the chemical structure of the newly synthesized compounds and their anticancer activity. The findings suggest that compounds 5a-d, 9,12a-b, and 16 exhibited promising anticancer activity and antioxidant effects as measured by DPPH inhibition.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease and is categorized as a tropically neglected disease (NTD) with no effective vaccines available. The available chemotherapeutics against leishmaniasis are associated with an increase in the incidence of toxicity and drug resistance. Consequently, targeting metabolic pathways and enzymes of parasites which differs from the mammalian host can be exploited to treat and overcome the resistance. The classical methods of identifying the structural fragments and the moieties responsible for the biological activities from the standard compounds and their modification are options for developing more effective novel compounds. Significant progress has been made in refining the development of potent non-toxic molecules and addressing the limitations of the current treatment available. Several examples of synthetic product-based approach utilizing their core heterocyclic rings including furan, pyrrole, thiazole, imidazole, pyrazole, triazole, quinazoline, quinoline, pyrimidine, coumarin, indole, acridine, oxadiazole, purine, chalcone, carboline, phenanthrene and metal containing derivatives and their structure-activity relationships are discussed in this review. It also analyses the groups/fragments interacting with the host cell receptors and will support the medicinal chemists with novel antileishmanial agents.

Abstract
AbstractThe pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine moieties are one of the most biologically widespread heterocyclic compounds as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitubercular, antiviral and anti‐inflammatory. Hence, we synthesized an efficient new series of 2‐thioxo‐pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidinone, 2‐hydrazinyl‐(quinolin‐2‐yl)pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidinone,N′‐(quinolin‐2‐yl)‐pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐(formo/aceto)‐hydrazide and substituted‐(quinolin‐2‐yl)pyrido[2,3‐d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidinone derivatives. The characterization of new compounds was corresponded by using spectroscopic techniques, IR, NMR and Mass spectra. In vitro, all compounds were evaluated as antimicrobial activity compared with cefotaxime sodium and nystatin as the standard drug. This work deals with the exploration of the new heterocyclic compounds and medicinal diversity of quinoline‐pyrido[2,3‐d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine derivatives that might pave the way for long in the discovery of therapeutic medicine for future drug design.

Abstract
An elegant Lewis acid catalyzed, protection-free, and straightforward synthetic strategy for the assembly of a series of sophisticated polycyclic quinoline skeletons employing propargylic alcohols and 2-vinylanilines as the substrates in the presence of Yb(OTf)3 (10 mol %) and AgOTf (10 mol %) in tetrahydrofuran has been described. This annulation protocol, which proceeds through a sequential Meyer-Schuster rearrangement/nucleophilic substitution/deprotonation sequence, provides a versatile, practical, and atom-economical approach for accessing quinoline derivatives in moderate-to-good yields.

Pal R, Teli G, Akhtar MJ, Matada GSP. The role of natural anti-parasitic guided development of synthetic drugs for leishmaniasis. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 258:115609.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease and categorised as a neglected tropical disease (NTD). Each year, between 70,0000 and 1 million new cases are believed to occur. There are approximately 90 sandfly species which can spread the Leishmania parasites (over 20 species) causing 20,000 to 30,000 death per year. Currently, leishmaniasis has no specific therapeutic treatment available. The prescribed drugs with several drawbacks including high cost, challenging administration, toxicity, and drug resistance led to search for the alternative treatment with less toxicity and selectivity. Introducing the molecular features like that of phytoconstituents for the search of compounds with less toxicity is another promising approach. The current review classifies the synthetic compounds according to the core rings present in the natural phytochemicals for the development of antileishmanial agents (2020-2022). Considering the toxicity and limitations of synthetic analogues, natural compounds are at the higher notch in terms of effectiveness and safety. Synthesized compounds of chalcones (Compound 8; IC50: 0.03 μM, 4.7 folds more potent than Amphotericin B; IC50: 0.14 μM), pyrimidine (compound 56; against L. tropica; 0.04 μM and L. infantum; 0.042 μM as compared to glucantime: L. tropica; 8.17 μM and L. infantum; 8.42 μM), quinazoline and (compound 72; 0.021 μM, 150 times more potent than miltefosine). The targeted delivery against DHFR have been demonstrated by one of the pyrimidine compounds 62 with an IC50 value of 0.10 μM against L. major as compared to the standard trimethoprim (IC50: 20 μM). The review covers the medicinal importance of antileishmanial agents from synthetic and natural sources such as chalcone, pyrazole, coumarins, steroids, and alkaloidal-containing drugs (indole, quinolines, pyridine, pyrimidine, carbolines, pyrrole, aurones, and quinazolines). The efforts of introducing the core rings present in the natural phytoconstituents as antileishmanial in the synthetic compounds are discussed with their structural activity relationship. The perspective will support the medicinal chemists in refining and directing the development of novel molecules phytochemicals-based antileishmanial agents.

Abstract
Malaria is the fifth most lethal parasitic infection in the world. Antimalarial medications have played a crucial role in preventing and eradicating malaria. Numerous heterocyclic moieties have been incorporated into the creation of effective antimalarial drugs. The 4-aminoquinoline moiety is favoured in antimalarial drug discovery due to the diverse biological applications of its derivative. Since the 1960s, 4-aminoquinoline has been an important antimalarial drug due to its low toxicity, high tolerability, and rapid absorption after administration. This review focused on the antimalarial efficacy of the 4-aminoquinoline moiety hybridised with various heterocyclic scaffolds developed by scientists since 2018 against diverse Plasmodium clones. It could aid in the future development of more effective antimalarial agents.

Abstract
Quinoline is one of the most common nitrogen-containing heterocycles owing to its fascinating pharmacological properties and synthetic value in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. Functionalization of this moiety at different positions has allowed for varying pharmacological activities of its derivative. Several publications over the last few decades have specified various methods of synthesis. This includes classical methods of synthesizing the primary quinoline derivatives and efficient methods that reduce reaction time with increased yield employing procedures that fulfill one of the twelve green chemistry principles, "safer solvent". The metal nanoparticle-catalyzed reaction also serves as a potent and effective technique for the synthesis of quinoline with excellent atom efficiency. The primary focus of this review is to highlight the routes to synthesizing functionalized quinoline derivatives, including hybrids that have moieties with predetermined activities bound to the quinoline moiety which are of interest in synthesizing drug candidates with dual modes of action, overcoming toxicity, and resistance amongst others. This was achieved using updated literature, stating the biological activities and mechanisms through which these compounds administer relief. The ADMET studies and Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) of novel derivatives were also highlighted to explore the drug-likeness of the quinoline-hybrids and the influence of substituent characteristics and position on the biological activity of the compounds.

Abstract
CONTEXT Thais savignyi Deshayes (Muricidae) is widely distributed in the Red Sea. Its abundance and the history of Muricidae in traditional medicine make it a tempting target for investigation. OBJECTIVE To investigate the chemical profile and biological activities of T. savignyi tissue extracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Methanol, ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate extracts from T. savignyi tissue were compared in their antioxidant by total antioxidant capacity, DPPH free radical scavenging, and total phenolic content. In addition, the antimicrobial, and antibiofilm properties (at 250 µg/mL) of the extracts were tested against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. The antioxidant extract with greatest activity was assessed for cytotoxicity (range 0.4-100 µg/mL) against 3 human cancer cell lines (UO-31, A549 and A431), and its chemical composition was investigated using GC-MS. Moreover, docking simulation was performed to predict its constituents' binding modes/scores to the active sites of thymidylate kinase. RESULTS The ethyl acetate extract (Ts-EtOAc) showed the highest total antioxidant capacity (551.33 mg AAE/g dry weight), total phenolics (254.46 mg GAE/g dry weight), and DPPH scavenging (IC50= 24.0 µg/mL). Ts-EtOAc exhibited strong antibacterial (MIC: 3.9 µg/mL against K. pneumoniae), antibiofilm (MIC: 7.81 µg/mL against S. aureus), and antifungal (MIC: 3.9 µg/mL against C. albicans) activities and considerable cytotoxicity against cancer cells (UO-31: IC50= 19.96 ± 0.93, A549: IC50= 25.04 ± 1.15 μg/mL). GC-MS identified multiple bioactive metabolites in Ts-EtOAc extract belonging to miscellaneous chemical classes. Molecular docking studies revealed that the constituents of Ts-EtOAc have antibacterial potential. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS T. savignyi extract has considerable antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. Further studies are needed to isolate the active constituents of this snail for comprehensive drug discovery tests.

Abstract
In the current work, sixteen novel amide derivatives of phenanthridine were designed and synthesized using 9-fluorenone, 4-Methoxy benzyl amine, and alkyl/aryl acids. The characterization of the title compounds was performed using LCMS, elemental analysis, 1HNMR, 13CNMR and single crystal XRD pattern was also developed for compounds A8. All the final analogs were screened in vitro for anti-leishmanial activity against promastigote form of L. infantum strain. Among the tested analogs, four compounds (A-06, A-11, A-12, and A-15) exhibited significant anti-leishmanial activity with EC50 value ranges from 8.9 to 21.96 μM against amastigote forms of tested L. infantum strain with SI ranges of 1.0 to 4.3. From the activity results it was found that A-11 was the most active compound in both promastigote and amastigotes forms with EC50 values 8.53 and 8.90 µM respectively. In-silico ADME prediction studies depicted that the titled compounds obeyed Lipinski's rule of five as that of the approved marketed drugs. The predicted in-silico toxicity profile also confirmed that the tested compounds were non-toxic. Finally, molecular docking and molecular dynamics study was also performed for significantly active compound (A-11) in order to study it's putative binding pattern at the active site of the selected leishmanial trypanothione reductase target as well as to understand the stability pattern of target-ligand complex for 100 ns. Single crystal XRD of compound A-08 revealed that the compound crystallizes in monoclinic C2/c space group and showed interesting packing arrangements.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis are endemic neglected disease in South America and Africa and considered a significant public health problem, mainly in poor communities. The limitations of the current available therapeutic options, including the lack of specificity, relatively high toxicity, and the drug resistance acquiring, drive the constant search for new targets and therapeutic options. Advances in knowledge of parasite biology have revealed essential enzymes involved in the replication, survival, and pathogenicity of Leishmania and Trypanosoma species. In this scenario, cysteine proteases have drawn the attention of researchers and they are being proposed as promising targets for drug discovery of antiprotozoal drugs. In this systematic review, we will provide an update on drug discovery strategies targeting the cysteine proteases as potential targets for chemotherapy against protozoal neglected diseases.

Gupta O, Pradhan T, Bhatia R, Monga V. Recent advancements in anti-leishmanial research: Synthetic strategies and structural activity relationships. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 223:113606. [PMID: 34171661 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic neglected tropical disease caused by various species of Leishmania parasite. Despite tremendous advancements in the therapeutic sector and drug development strategies, still the existing anti-leishmanial agents are associated with some clinical issues like drug resistance, toxicity and selectivity. Therefore, several research groups are continuously working towards the development of new therapeutic candidates to overcome these issues. Many potential heterocyclic moieties have been explored for this purpose including triazoles, chalcones, chromone, thiazoles, thiosemicarbazones, indole, quinolines, etc. It is evident from the literature that the majority of anti-leishmanial agents act by interacting with key regulators including PTR-I, DHFR, LdMetAP1, MAPK, 14 α-demethylase and pteridine reductase-I, etc. Also, these tend to induce the production of ROS which causes damage to parasites. In the present compilation, authors have summarized various significant synthetic procedures for anti-leishmanial agents reported in recent years. A brief description of the pharmacological potentials of synthesized compounds along with important aspects related to structural activity relationship has been provided. Important docking outcomes highlighting the possible mode of interaction for the reported compounds have also been included. This review would be helpful to the scientific community to design newer strategies and also to develop novel therapeutic candidates against leishmaniasis.

Synthesis, SAR study, and bioactivity evaluation of a series of Quinoline-Indole-Schiff base derivatives: Compound 10E as a new Nur77 exporter and autophagic death inducer. Bioorg Chem 2021; 113:105008. [PMID: 34089944 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2021] [Revised: 05/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
We previously reported 5-((8-methoxy-2-methylquinolin-4-yl)amino)-1H-indole- 2-carbohydrazide derivatives as new Nur77 modulators. In this study, we explored whether the 8-methoxy-2-methylquinoline moiety and bicyclic aromatic rings at the N'-methylene position were critical for their antitumor activity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). For this purpose, a small library of 5-substituted 1H-indole-2-carbohydrazide derivatives was designed and synthesized. We found that the 8-methoxy-2-methylquinoline moiety was a fundamental structure for its biological function, while the introduction of the bicyclic aromatic ring into the N'-methylene greatly improved its anti-tumor effect. We found that the representative compound 10E had a high affinity to Nur77. The KD values were in the low micromolar (2.25-4.10 μM), which were coincident with its IC50 values against the tumor cell lines (IC50 < 3.78 μM). Compound 10E could induce autophagic cell death of liver cancer cells by targeting Nur77 to mitochondria while knocking down Nur77 greatly impaired anti-tumor effect. These findings provide an insight into the structure-activity relation of Quinoline-Indole-Schiff base derivatives and further demonstrate that antitumor agents targeting Nur77 may be considered as a promising strategy for HCC therapy.

Abstract
The synthesis of ester-containing heterocyclic compounds via multicomponent
reaction is one of the preferable processes in synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal
chemistry. Compounds containing ester linkage have a wide range of biological applications
in the pharmaceutical field. Therefore, many methods have been developed for the synthesis
of these types of derivatives. However, some of them are carried out in the presence of toxic
solvents and catalysts, with lower yields, longer reaction times, low selectivities, and byproducts.
Thus, the development of new synthetic methods for ester synthesis is required in
medicinal chemistry. As we know, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are a powerful tool for
the one-pot ester synthesis, so in this article, we have reviewed the recent developments in
ester synthesis. This work covers a selected explanation of methods via multicomponent reactions
to explore the methodological development in ester synthesis.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX, and XII isoforms are known to be highly expressed in various human tissues and malignancies. CA IX is a prominent target for some cancers because it is overexpressed in hypoxic tumors and this overexpression leads to poor prognosis. Novel twenty-seven compounds in two series (sulfamoylcarbamate-based quinoline (2a-2o) and sulfamide-based quinoline (3a-3l)) were synthesized and characterized by means of IR, NMR, and mass spectra. Their inhibitory activities were evaluated against CA I, CA II, CA IX, and CA XII isoforms. 2-Phenylpropyl (N-(quinolin-8-yl)sulfamoyl)carbamate (2m) exhibited the highest hCA IX inhibition with the Ki of 0.5 µM. In addition, cytotoxic effects of the synthesized compounds on human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29; HTB-38), human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7; HTB-22), human prostate adenocarcinoma (PC3; CRL-1435) and human healthy skin fibroblast (CCD-986Sk; CRL-1947) cell lines were examined. The cytotoxicity results showed that 2j, 3a, 3e, 3f are most active compounds in all cell lines (HT-29, MCF7, PC3, and CCD-986Sk).

Abstract
The association of leishmaniasis and malignancies in human and animal models has been highlighted in recent years. The misdiagnosis of coexistence of leishmaniasis and cancer and the use of common drugs in the treatment of such diseases prompt us to further survey the molecular biology of Leishmania parasites and cancer cells. The information regarding common expressed proteins, as possible therapeutic targets, in Leishmania parasites and cancer cells is scarce. Therefore, the current study reviews proteins, and investigates the regulation and functions of several key proteins in Leishmania parasites and cancer cells. The up- and down-regulations of such proteins were mostly related to survival, development, pathogenicity, metabolic pathways and vital signalling in Leishmania parasites and cancer cells. The presence of common expressed proteins in Leishmania parasites and cancer cells reveals valuable information regarding the possible shared mechanisms of pathogenicity and opportunities for therapeutic targeting in leishmaniasis and cancers in the future.

Abstract
Quinoline is a versatile pharmacophore, a privileged scaffold and an outstanding fused heterocyclic compound with a wide range of pharmacological prospective such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral drug and superlative moiety in drug discovery. The quinoline hybrids have already been shown excellent results with new targets with a different mode of actions as an inhibitor of cell proliferation by cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, angiogenesis, disruption of cell migration and modulation. This review emphasized the mode of action, structure activity relationship and molecular docking to reveal the various active pharmacophores of quinoline hybrids accountable for novel anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and miscellaneous activities. Therefore, several quinoline candidates are under clinical trials for the treatment of certain diseases, for example ferroquine (antimalarial), dactolisib (antitumor) and pelitinib (EGFR TK inhibitors) etc. Plenty of research has been summarized the recent advances of quinoline derivatives and explore the various therapeutic prospects of this moiety. This review would help the researchers to strategically design diverse novel quinoline derivatives for the development of clinically viable drug candidates for the treatment of incurable diseases.

Abstract
New quinoline / chalcone hybrids containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety have been designed, synthesized and their structures elucidated and confirmed by various spectroscopic techniques. The designed compounds showed moderate to good activity on different NCI 60 cell lines in a single-dose assay with a growth inhibition rate ranging from 50% to 94%. Compounds 7b, 7d, 9b, and 9d were the most active compounds in most cancer cell lines with a growth inhibition percent between 77% and 94%. Newly synthesized hybrids were evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity against a panel of four human cancer cell lines. Compounds 7a, 7b, 9a, 9b, and 9d showed promising antiproliferative activities. These compounds were further tested for their inhibitory potency against EGFR and BRAFV600E kinases with erlotinib as a reference drug. The molecular docking study of compounds 7a, 7b, 9a, 9b, and 9d revealed nice fitting into the active site of EGFR and BRAFV600E kinases. Compounds 7b, 9b, and 9d displayed the highest binding affinities and similar binding pattern to those of erlotinib.
