Exploration of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoline derivatives as human carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: Synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico studies. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 280:135890. [PMID: 39313048 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135890] [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: 07/27/2024] [Revised: 09/19/2024] [Accepted: 09/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024]
Abstract
The human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) IX and XII isoforms are overexpressed in hypoxic conditions, contributing to cancer. Lack of isoform selectivity has been one of the main challenges associated with the existing drugs targeting hCAs. Hence, the development of alternative approaches, such as tail approach to develop more selective hCA IX and XII inhibitors is need of the hour. In the present work, we designed and synthesized 24 new 1,3.5-trisubstituted-pyrazoline derivatives with diverse substitutions. The synthesized analogs were evaluated for their hCA inhibitory activities against hCA I, II, IX, and XII isoforms. Among the tested compounds, derivative 8 displayed good inhibitory activity against hCA IX (Ki = 331 nM) and XII (Ki = 96.7 nM). In addition, 9a-g also exhibited some inhibitory activities against hCA IX and XII, with Kis ranging from 574-799 nM and 137-369 nM, respectively. Molecular modelling studies of compound 8 displayed metal coordination with zinc ion and hydrophobic, hydrophilic interactions with adjacent amino acid residues, and maintained stable interactions throughout 100 ns. In addition, ADMET studies demonstrated that compound 8 obeyed the Lipinski's rule of five and was found to be druggable and non-toxic. Hence, compound 8 was identified as potential lead for further development.

A Novel Compound from the Phenylsulfonylpiperazine Class: Evaluation of In Vitro Activity on Luminal Breast Cancer Cells. Molecules 2024; 29:4471. [PMID: 39339466 PMCID: PMC11433764 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29184471] [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: 07/18/2024] [Revised: 08/30/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, and is characterized by its histological and molecular heterogeneity. Luminal BC is an estrogen receptor-positive subtype, with varied clinical courses. Although BC patients are eligible for hormone therapy, both early and late relapses still occur, and thus there is a demand for new cytotoxic and selective treatment strategies for these patients. In the present study, inspired by the structure of phenylsulfonylpiperazine, a series of 20 derivatives were tested in bioassays against MCF7, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-453 BC cells to discover new hit compounds. After 48 h of treatment, 12 derivatives impaired cell viability and presented significant IC50 values against at least one of the tumor lineages. Overall, the luminal BC cell line MCF7 was more sensitive to treatments. Compound 3, (4-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl)(4-((4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)methanone, was the most promising, with IC50 = 4.48 μM and selective index (SI) = 35.6 in MCF7 cells. Compound 3 also presented significant antimigratory and antiproliferative activities against luminal BC cells, possibly by affecting the expression of genes involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition mechanism, upregulating E-Cadherin transcripts (CDH1). Our findings suggest that phenylsulfonylpiperazine derivatives are potential candidates for the development of new therapies, especially those targeting luminal BC.

Abstract
Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is pivotal in executing normal cellular functions through its catalytic action on the methylation of arginine side chains on protein substrates. Emerging research has revealed a correlation between the dysregulation of PRMT1 expression and the initiation and progression of tumors, significantly influence on patient prognostication, attributed to the essential role played by PRMT1 in a number of biological processes, including transcriptional regulation, signal transduction or DNA repair. Therefore, PRMT1 emerged as a promising therapeutic target for anticancer drug discovery in the past decade. In this review, we first summarize the structure and biological functions of PRMT1 and its association with cancer. Next, we focus on the recent advances in the design and development of PRMT1 modulators, including isoform-selective PRMT1 inhibitors, pan type I PRMT inhibitors, PRMT1-based dual-target inhibitors, and PRMT1-targeting PROTAC degraders, from the perspectives of rational design, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and clinical status. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions for PRMT1-based drug discovery for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Research into novel anti-Helicobacter pylori agents represents an important approach for the identification of new treatments for chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers, which are associated with a high risk of developing gastric carcinoma. In this respect, two series of azobenzenesulfonamides were designed, synthesized, and tested against a large panel of human and bacterial CAs to evaluate their inhibitory activity. In addition, computational studies of the novel primary benzenesulfonamides (4a-j) were performed to predict the putative binding mode to both HpCAs. Then, the antimicrobial activity versus H. pylori of the two series was also studied. The best-in-class compounds were found to be 4c and 4e among the primary azobenzenesulfonamides and 5c and 5f belonging to the secondary azobenzenesulfonamides series, showing themselves to exert a promising anti-H. pylori activity, with MIC values of 4-8 μg/mL and MBCs between 4 and 16 μg/mL. Moreover, the evaluation of their toxicity on a G. mellonella larva in vivo model indicated a safe profile for 4c,e and 5c,f. The collected results warrant considering these azobenzenesulfonamides as an interesting starting point for the development of a new class of anti-H. pylori agents.

The Application of Resveratrol Derivatives in Oral Cells Reduces the Oxidative Stress Induced by Glucocorticoids. Metabolites 2024; 14:350. [PMID: 39057674 PMCID: PMC11279245 DOI: 10.3390/metabo14070350] [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: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress and high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are linked to various age-related diseases and chronic conditions, including damage to oral tissues. Dexamethasone (DEX), a widely used glucocorticoid in dentistry, can have side effects like increased ROS production and delayed wound healing. Resveratrol (RSV) is known for its antioxidant properties, but its limited bioavailability hinders its clinical use. This study investigated the potential of two RSV derivatives (1d and 1h) to address these limitations. The antioxidant abilities of 1d and 1h (5 μM) against DEX-induced oxidative stress (200 μM) were evaluated in human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) and osteoblasts (hOBs). The effects of these compounds on cell viability, morphology, ROS levels, SOD activity, gene expression, and collagen production were evaluated. RSV derivatives, under DEX-induced oxidative stress condition, improved cell growth at 72 h (191.70 ± 10.92% for 1d+DEX and 184.80 ± 13.87% for 1h+DEX), morphology, and SOD activity (77.33 ± 3.35 OD for 1d+DEX; 76.87 ± 3.59 OD for 1h+DEX at 1 h), while reducing ROS levels (2417.33 ± 345.49 RFU for 1d+DEX and 1843.00 ± 98.53 RFU at 4 h), especially in hOBs. The co-treatment of RSV or derivatives with DEX restored the expression of genes that were downregulated by DEX, such as HO-1 (1.76 ± 0.05 for 1d+DEX and 1.79 ± 0.01 for 1h+DEX), CAT (0.97 ± 0.06 for 1d+DEX and 0.99 ± 0.03 for 1h+DEX), NRF2 (1.62 ± 0.04 for 1d+DEX and 1.91 ± 0.05 for 1h+DEX), SOD1 (1.63 ± 0.15 for 1d+DEX and 1.69 ± 0.04 for 1h+DEX). In addition, 1d and 1h preserved collagen production (111.79 ± 1.56 for 1d+DEX and 122.27 ± 1.56 for 1h+DEX). In conclusion, this study suggests that the RSV derivatives 1d and 1h hold promise as potential antioxidant agents to counteract DEX-induced oxidative stress. These findings contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for managing oxidative stress-related oral conditions.

Abstract
Novel class of triazine sulfonamide thioglycosides was designed and synthesized. Those novel structures comprising three essential and pharmacological significant moieties such as the triazine, sulfonamide, and thioglycosidic scaffolds. The triazine sulfonamides were furnished via a direct approach starting from potassium cyanocarbonimidodithioate, then the corresponding triazine sulfonamide thioglycosides were generated using the peracylated α-d-gluco- and galacto-pyranosyl bromides. Anti-viral evaluation of compounds in vitro against HCoV-229E virus revealed that some compounds possess promising activity. Compounds 4a, 4b, 4d, 6d and 6e indicate from moderate to low antiviral activity against low pathogenic coronavirus 229E in comparison with remdesivir at a concentration of 100 µg/mL. Additionally their in vitro anti-proliferative effects against NCI 60 cancer cell lines cell lines were also investigated. Compound 4a, the most potent compound among the estimated compounds, revealed remarkably lowest cell growth promotion against CNS cancer SNB-75, and renal cancer UO-31.

Abstract
The sulfonylation method stands out as a simple and efficient approach for synthesizing sulfonamides. Despite the advancements in constructing the sulfonamide framework, the potential use of phenyl hydrazine as an amination source remains unexplored. Herein, we report a metal-free, environment-friendly photoredox-catalyzed sulfonylation of phenylhydrazines using thiols, employing MeCN:H2O as a green solvent and eosin Y as a photoredox catalyst. This strategy exhibits a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility, including hetero(aryl) as well as aliphatic phenylhydrazines. Finally, this protocol also demonstrated good application for the synthesis of pharmaceutical analogues.

Abstract
A novel series of dihydropyrimidine/sulphonamide hybrids 3a-j with anti-inflammatory properties have been developed and tested as dual mPGES-1/5-LOX inhibitors. In vitro assay, results showed that compounds 3c, 3e, 3h, and 3j were the most effective dual inhibitors of mPGES-1 and 5-LOX activities. Compound 3j was the most potent dual inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.92 µM and 1.98 µM, respectively. In vivo, anti-inflammatory studies demonstrated that compounds 3c, 3e, 3h, and 3e had considerable anti-inflammatory activity, with EI% ranging from 29% to 71%. Compounds 3e and 3j were equivalent to celecoxib after the first hour but exhibited stronger anti-inflammatory effects than celecoxib after the third and fifth hours. Moreover, compounds 3e and 3j significantly reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (PGE2, TNF-α, and IL-6) with gastrointestinal safety profiles. Molecular docking simulations explored the most potent derivatives' binding affinities and interaction patterns within mPGES-1 and 5-LOX active sites. This study disclosed that compound 3j is a promising anti-inflammatory lead with dual mPGES-1/5-LOX inhibition that deserves further preclinical investigation.

Abstract
A metal-free photosensitized 1,2-imino-sulfamoylation of olefins by employing a tailor-made sulfamoyl carbamate as the difunctionalization reagent has been established. This protocol exhibits versatility across a broad substrate scope, including aryl and aliphatic alkenes, leading to the synthesis of diverse β-imino sulfonamides in moderate to good yields. This method is characterized by its metal-free reaction system, mild reaction conditions, excellent regioselectivity, and high atom economy, serving as a promising platform for the preparation of β-amino sulfonamide-containing molecules, particularly in the context of drug discovery.

Abstract
An efficient and interesting N-centered umpolung method has been disclosed to construct beneficial S-N bonds, furnishing N-sulfenylimines, which can readily be converted into the corresponding sulfonamide derivatives in a one-pot sequential operation. N-Sulfenylimines are potent intermediates in organic synthesis, whereas sulfonamides are of major molecular interest due to their rich biological activities and wide applicability in medicinal chemistry. Owing to the simple reaction conditions and setup, this protocol displays a broad and versatile substrate scope, resulting in excellent functional group tolerability toward the synthesis of both N-sulfenylimines and sulfonamides. A density functional theory (DFT) computed and experimentally supported convenient mechanism has been proposed for this unique method.

Abstract
The monogenic rare disease Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane conductance (CFTR) protein, an anion channel expressed at the apical plasma membrane of epithelial cells. The discovery and subsequent development of CFTR modulators-small molecules acting on the basic molecular defect in CF-have revolutionized the standard of care for people with CF (PwCF), thus drastically improving their clinical features, prognosis, and quality of life. Currently, four of these drugs are approved for clinical use: potentiator ivacaftor (VX-770) alone or in combination with correctors lumacaftor, (VX-809), tezacaftor (VX-661), and elexacaftor (VX-445). Noteworthily, the triple combinatorial therapy composed of ivacaftor, tezacaftor, and elexacaftor constitutes the most effective modulator therapy nowadays for the majority of PwCF. In this review, we exploit the organic synthesis of ivacaftor, tezacaftor, and elexacaftor by providing a retrosynthetic drug analysis for these CFTR modulators. Furthermore, we describe the current understanding of the mechanisms of action (MoA's) of these compounds by discussing several studies that report the key findings on the molecular mechanisms underlying their action on the CFTR protein.

Abstract
A new method for selective cleavage of sulfonimides into sulfonamides in high yields using a simple electrochemical approach is shown. As revealed by the electrochemical study, the aromatic sulfonimides can be selectively cleaved by electrolysis of the starting compound at a given potential (only -0.9 V vs SCE for the nosyl group). The high chemoselectivity was confirmed by preparative electrolysis, and the results were supported with DFT calculations of a set of substances bearing different sulfonimide functions. Moreover, various experimental setups together with other attempts to simplify the procedure were tested. Finally, the removal of the p-nosyl group from the corresponding sulfonimides proceeds smoothly regardless of the number of nosyl groups and the overall shape of the complex molecule. Thus, the method is interesting for use in the field of multifunctional molecules such as calix[n]arenes.

Abstract
A thiosuccinimide enabled S-N cross-coupling strategy has been established for the intermolecular N-sulfenylation of clinically approved sulfa drugs under additive-free conditions. This approach features simple operation, high chemoselectivity for sulfenylating the phenylamino group of sulfonamides, wide substrate scope, and easy scale production, affording N-sulfenylated products in moderate to excellent yields (up to 90%). In addition, we also found that this transformation can be realized in a one-pot manner by employing readily available thiols as starting materials, and the obtained sulfonamide derivatives are capable of various late-stage functionalizations, including oxidation, arylation, benzylation, and methylation.

Abstract
Sulfonamides are important structures in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organocatalysts, yet the rapid and benign synthesis of these compounds is still a great challenge. Herein we report a photoinduced method for synthesizing sulfonamides from (hetero)aryl carboxylic acid oxime esters. This reaction proceeds via one-pot cascade radical-radical cross-coupling by energy-transfer-mediated photocatalysis. A wide substrate scope including (hetero)aryl substrates and late-stage modification of pharmaceutical molecular entities reveal its generality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isocyanide is an intriguing one-carbon synthon that is frequently employed in a variety of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCRs) are effective synthetic tools in organic synthesis for the preparation of complex heterocyclic molecules. The IMCRs in water have become an attractive research direction, enabling simultaneous growth of both IMCRs and green solvents towards ideal organic synthesis. OBJECTIVE The goal of this review is to provide a general overview of IMCRs in water or biphasic aqueous systems for accessing various organic molecules, as well as an examination of their benefits and mechanistic insights. CONCLUSION High atom economies, mild reaction conditions, high yields, and catalyst-free processes are crucial features of these IMCRs in water or biphasic aqueous systems.

Abstract
Sulfinamides are some of the most centrally important four-valent sulfur compounds that serve as critical entry points to an array of emergent medicinal functional groups, molecular tools for bioconjugation, and synthetic intermediates including sulfoximines, sulfonimidamides, and sulfonimidoyl halides, as well as a wide range of other S(iv) and S(vi) functionalities. Yet, the accessible chemical space of sulfinamides remains limited, and the approaches to sulfinamides are largely confined to two-electron nucleophilic substitution reactions. We report herein a direct radical-mediated decarboxylative sulfinamidation that for the first time enables access to sulfinamides from the broad and structurally diverse chemical space of carboxylic acids. Our studies show that the formation of sulfinamides prevails despite the inherent thermodynamic preference for the radical addition to the nitrogen atom, while a machine learning-derived model facilitates prediction of the reaction efficiency based on computationally generated descriptors of the underlying radical reactivity.

Abstract
We, for the first time, disclosed a simple and efficient strategy for the late-stage functionalization of primary sulfonamides by diazotization, leading to sulfonyl chlorides, sulfonates, and complex sulfonamides. This protocol obviates the requirement for the prefunctionalization of sulfonamides. Its applicability is exemplified by the late-stage functionalization of sulfonamide-type drugs.

Abstract
Herein, we showcase the potential of isothiocyanates generated in situ and aryl sulfonyl chlorides as electrophiles in water for N-functionalization of bicyclic amidines (DBN and DBU). This strategy provides complementary access to a range of thiouredosulfides, sulfonamides, aroylthioureas and amides derivativatized with distal γ- and ω-lactams. A novel sulfonyl chloride mediated formation of β-uredo sulfides has been achieved from β-isothiocyanato sulfides, removing the requirement for the harsh synthesis of unstable isocyanates. Mechanistic studies suggest a radical mechanism for the difunctionalization of alkenes, the efficacy of H2O in the ring opening of bicyclic amidines, and an oxygen source along with sulfonyl chloride as desulfurization agents for thiourea to afford urea derivatives.

Abstract
The S-N bond remains a synthetically challenging motif for organic chemists to access. The problem arises from instability in many sulfenamide derivatives, which has led to fewer S-N bond surrogate molecules compared to their hydroxylamine (NH2OH) and hydrazine (NH2NH2) analogues. In turn, sulfenamides have often been omitted in studies regarding α-nucleophilicity. Herein, we provide factors responsible for the stability of the sulfenamide motif and provide new insights on the nucleophilic properties of sulfenamides as they relate to the α-effect.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are formed by communities, which are encased in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Notably, bacteria in biofilms display a set of 'emergent properties' that vary considerably from free-living bacterial cells. Biofilms help bacteria to survive under multiple stressful conditions such as providing immunity against antibiotics. Apart from the provision of multi-layered defense for enabling poor antibiotic absorption and adaptive persistor cells, biofilms utilize their extracellular components, e.g., extracellular DNA (eDNA), chemical-like catalase, various genes and their regulators to combat antibiotics. The response of biofilms depends on the type of antibiotic that comes into contact with biofilms. For example, excessive production of eDNA exerts resistance against cell wall and DNA targeting antibiotics and the release of antagonist chemicals neutralizes cell membrane inhibitors, whereas the induction of protein and folic acid antibiotics inside cells is lowered by mutating genes and their regulators. Here, we review the current state of knowledge of biofilm-based resistance to various antibiotic classes in bacteria and genes responsible for biofilm development, and the key role of quorum sensing in developing biofilms and antibiotic resistance is also discussed. In this review, we also highlight new and modified techniques such as CRISPR/Cas, nanotechnology and bacteriophage therapy. These technologies might be useful to eliminate pathogens residing in biofilms by combating biofilm-induced antibiotic resistance and making this world free of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Colchicine binding site inhibitors (CBSIs) are potential microtubule targeting agents (MTAs), which can overcome multidrug resistance, improve aqueous solubility and reduce toxicity faced by most MTAs. Novel tetrahydroquinoxaline sulfonamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities. The MTT assay results demonstrated that some derivatives exhibited moderate to strong inhibitory activities against HT-29 cell line. Among them, compound I-7 was the most active compound. Moreover, I-7 inhibited tubulin polymerization, disturbed microtubule network, disrupted the formation of mitotic spindle and arrested cell cycle at G2/M phase. However, I-7 didn't induce cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the prediction of ADME demonstrated that I-7 showed favorable physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. And the detailed molecular docking confirmed I-7 targeted the site of colchicine through hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
Sulfinates are important lynchpin intermediates in pharmaceutical production; however, their synthesis via photoredox catalysis is challenging because of their facile oxidation. We herein disclose a photocatalytic strategy for the direct conversion of alcohols and alkyl bromides into alkyl sulfinates. These transformations are enabled by the utilization of easily oxidized radical precursors─namely, alcohol N-heterocyclic carbene adducts and N-adamantyl aminosupersilane─that facilitate efficient synthesis of the oxidatively labile sulfinate products. A broad range of functional groups are amenable to the reported transformations, providing rapid access to sulfonamides, sulfonyl halides, sulfones, and sulfonic acids. The utility of these methods is further demonstrated via the late-stage diversification of natural products and drugs into pharmaceutically relevant sulfonamides and "clickable" sulfonyl fluorides. In summary, this work illustrates the potential of novel radical precursors to expand the breadth of photoredox transformations.

Abstract
In the last few years, the interest in sulfonamides has expanded owing to their broad spectrum of biological activities. Their flexible structure turns them into amazing candidates to replace old drugs or develop modern multi-target agents. In this study, a series of new sulfonamides (sul1-5) was evaluated, in vitro, for the antibacterial, cytotoxic and genotoxic effects. The antibacterial activity was investigated against 12 clinical and 4 reference strains. Cytotoxic activity was carried out by the brine shrimp bioassay and the genotoxicity was assessed in the Ames test. An interesting antibacterial activity was showed especially against Gram negative strains. The inhibition zones varied between 15 and 30 mm, and the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC's) values between 0.5 and 256 μg/ml. No antibacterial activity was shown with S. aureus isolates. Only Sul1 and Sul4 were active against P. aeruginosa. Compounds Sul1 and Sul2 showed a significant cytotoxicity with LC50 equal to 18.29 and 18 μg/ml respectively, and a genotoxic effect against TA100 and TA1535 Salmonella strains. Only compounds Sul3, Sul4 and Sul5 with an interesting antibacterial activity, no cytotoxicity and no genotoxic effects, could be exploited against resistant pathogens as new drugs.

Abstract
Metformin has been used for ages to treat diabetes mellitus due to its safety profile and low cost. However, metformin has variable pharmacokinetics in patients, and due to its poor oral absorption, the therapeutic doses are relatively high, causing unpleasant gastrointestinal adverse effects. Therefore, novel derivatives of metformin have been synthesized during the past decades. Particularly, after the mid-2000 s, when organic cation transporters were identified as the main metformin carriers, metformin derivatives have been under intensive investigation. Nevertheless, due to the biguanide structure, derivatives of metformin have been challenging to synthesize. Moreover, the mechanisms of metformin's action are not fully understood to date, and since it has multifunctional properties, the interests have switched to re-purposing for other diseases. Indeed, metformin derivatives have been demonstrated in many cases to be more effective than metformin itself and have the potential to be used in different diseases, including several types of cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. On the other hand, the pleiotropic nature of metformin and its derivatives can also create challenges. Not all properties are fit for all diseases. In this review, the history of the development of metformin-like compounds is summarized, and insights into their potential for future drug discovery are discussed.

Effect of resistance difference on distribution of antibiotics in bacterial cell and conjugative gene transfer risks during electrochemical flow through reaction.

Abstract
The occurrences and spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) mediated by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic environment have been aggravated because of the abuse of antibiotics. While the pressure of different antibiotics is known to induce the spread of AR in bacteria, whether distribution of different antibiotics in cell structure could affect HGT risks is not clear. Here, a significant difference between the distribution of tetracycline hydrochloride (Tet) and sulfamethoxazole (Sul) in cell structure during electrochemical flow through reaction (EFTR) process was firstly reported. Meanwhile, EFTR treatment possessed excellent disinfection performance and consequently controlled the HGT risks. The intracellular Tet (iTet) was discharged through efflux pumps to increase the content of extracellular Tet (eTet) due to the resistance of donor E. coli DH5α under the selective pressure of Tet, declining the damage of donor and plasmid RP4. The HGT frequency was 8.18-fold increase compared with that by EFTR treatment alone. While the secretion of intracellular Sul (iSul) was inhibited by blocking the formation of efflux pumps to inactivate the donor under the Sul pressure, and the total content of iSul and adsorbed Sul (aSul) to be 1.36-fold higher than that of eSul. Therefore, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cell membrane permeability were improved to release ARGs, and •OH attacked plasmid RP4 in the EFTR process, inhibiting the HGT risks. This study advances the awareness of the interaction between distribution of different antibiotics in cell structure and the HGT risks in the EFTR process.

Abstract
World health organization listed fungi as priority pathogens in 2022 to counter their adverse effects on human well-being. The use of antimicrobial biopolymers is a sustainable alternative to toxic antifungal agents. In this study, we explore chitosan as an antifungal agent by grafting a novel compound N-(4-((4-((isatinyl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)sulfonyl)phenyl) acetamide (IS). The acetimidamide linkage of IS to chitosan herein was confirmed by 13C NMR and is a new branch in chitosan pendant group chemistry. The modified chitosan films (ISCH) were studied using thermal, tensile, and spectroscopic methods. The ISCH derivatives strongly inhibit fungal pathogens of agricultural and human importance, namely Fusarium solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Myrothecium verrucaria, Penicillium oxalicum, and Candida albicans. ISCH80 showed an IC50 value of 0.85 μg/ml against M. verrucaria and ISCH100 with IC50 of 1.55 μg/ml is comparable to the commercial antifungal IC50 values of Triadiamenol (3.6 μg/ml) and Trifloxystrobin (3 μg/ml). Interestingly, the ISCH series remained non-toxic up to 2000 μg/ml against L929 mouse fibroblast cells. The ISCH series showed long-standing antifungal action, superior to our lowest observed antifungal IC50 values of plain chitosan and IS at 12.09 μg/ml and 3.14 μg/ml, respectively. ISCH films are thus suitable for fungal inhibition in an agricultural setting or food preservation.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease that has a heavy social and economic impact on all societies and for which there is still no cure. Multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) seem to be a promising therapeutic strategy for finding an effective treatment for this disease. For this purpose, new MTDLs were designed and synthesized in three steps by simple and cost-efficient procedures targeting calcium channel blockade, cholinesterase inhibition, and antioxidant activity. The biological and physicochemical results collected in this study allowed us the identification two sulfonamide-dihydropyridine hybrids showing simultaneous cholinesterase inhibition, calcium channel blockade, antioxidant capacity and Nrf2-ARE activating effect, that deserve to be further investigated for AD therapy.

Abstract
Metformin, the most frequently prescribed medicine for the management of type 2 diabetes, has been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in diabetic patients in pre-clinical and clinical studies. The present work reports the design, synthesis, and biological assessment of the impact of six benzenesulfonamide biguanides on various aspects of hemostasis, cell function, red blood cell integrity (RBC), and their ability to uptake glucose in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs). It was found that all synthesized o- and m-benzenesulfonamides, particularly derivatives with nitro (3) and amino groups (4), are characterized by a good safety profile in HUVECs, which was further confirmed in the cellular integrity studies. The biguanide analogues with methoxy group (1, 2) and an amino substituent (5, 6) significantly increased glucose utilization in HUVECs, similarly to the parent drug. Intriguingly, compounds 1, 3, and 6 favourably influenced some of the coagulation parameters. Furthermore, derivative 3 also slowed the process of fibrin polymerization, indicating more beneficial anti-coagulant properties than metformin. None of the novel metformin analogues interact strongly with the erythrocyte lipid-protein bilayer. Our findings indicate that derivative 3 has highly desirable anti-coagulant properties, and compounds 1 and 6 have potential dual-action activity, including anti-hyperglycaemic properties and anti-coagulant activity. As such, these derivatives can be used as lead molecules for further development of anti-diabetic agents with a beneficial effect on hypercoagulability.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a specific breast cancer subtype, and poor prognosis is associated to this tumour when it is in the metastatic form. The overexpression of the inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) is considered a predictor of poor outcome in TNBC patients, and this enzyme is reported as a valuable molecular target to compromise TNBC progression. In this work, new amidines containing a benzenesulfonamide group were designed and synthesized as selective iNOS inhibitors. An in vitro biological evaluation was performed to assess compounds activity against both the inducible and constitutive NOSs. The most interesting compounds 1b and 2b were evaluated on MDA-MB-231 cells as antiproliferative agents, and 1b capability to counteract cell migration was also studied. Finally, an in-depth docking study was performed to shed light on the observed potency and selectivity of action of the most promising compounds.

Emerging Effects of Resveratrol Derivatives in Cells Involved in Oral Wound Healing: A Preliminary Study. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043276. [PMID: 36834684 PMCID: PMC9963438 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in finding new approaches to manage oral wound healing. Although resveratrol (RSV) exhibited many biological properties, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, its use as a drug is limited by unfavorable bioavailability. This study aimed to investigate a series of RSV derivatives (1a-j) with better pharmacokinetic profiles. At first, their cytocompatibility at different concentrations was tested on gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Among them, derivatives 1d and 1h significantly increased cell viability compared to the reference compound RSV. Thus, 1d and 1h were investigated for cytotoxicity, proliferation, and gene expression in HGFs, endothelial cells (HUVECs), and oral osteoblasts (HOBs), which are the main cells involved in oral wound healing. For HUVECs and HGFs, the morphology was also evaluated, while for HOBs ALP and mineralization were observed. The results showed that both 1d and 1h did not exert negative effects on cell viability, and at a lower concentration (5 µM) both even significantly enhanced the proliferative rate, compared to RSV. The morphology observations pointed out that the density of HUVECs and HGFs was promoted by 1d and 1h (5 µM) and mineralization was promoted in HOBs. Moreover, 1d and 1h (5 µM) induced a higher eNOS mRNA level in HUVECs, higher COL1 mRNA in HGFs, and higher OCN in HOBs, compared to RSV. The appreciable physicochemical properties and good enzymatic and chemical stability of 1d and 1h, along with their promising biological properties, provide the scientific basis for further studies leading to the development of RSV-based agents useful in oral tissue repair.

Abstract
In the present study, the synthesis of six new Ni(II) and Pd(II) complexes with three derived sulfamethoxazole drug ligands is reported. The coordination mode, geometry, and chemical formula of all the synthesized compounds have been determined by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, emission atomic spectroscopy, conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility, FTIR, TGA, 1H-NMR, electronic absorption spectroscopy, SEM-EDX along with DFT calculations. The Schiff Base ligands were found to be bidentate and coordinated to the metal ions through sulfonamidic nitrogen and oxazolic nitrogen atoms leading to a square planar geometry for palladium (II) while a distorted octahedral geometry around Nickel (II) ion was suggested. Biological applications of the new complexes including in vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer properties were investigated. The results showed that the new metal (II) compounds exhibit remarkable antibacterial inhibition activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, in addition to noticeable DPPH free radical scavenging activity. The in vitro cytotoxicity assay of the complexes against cell lines of chronic myelogenous leukaemia (K562) showed promising potential for the application of the coordination compounds in antitumor therapy. Subsequently, to evaluate the pharmaceutical potential of the metal-containing compounds, pharmacokinetics and toxicity were studied by ADMET simulations while interactions between the complexes and bacterial proteins were evaluated by molecular docking.

Abstract
The existent investigation deals with synthesis, characterization, computational analysis, and biological activities of some hydroxytriazene derivatives containing sulphonamide moiety. The compounds were screened for antidiabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. The antidiabetic activity was assessed using α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition assays with IC50 values ranging from 32.0 to 759.13 μg/mL and 157.77 to 340.47 μg/mL while standard drug acarbose showed IC50 values 12.21 and 69.74 μg/mL, respectively. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays with IC50 value ranging from 54.01 to 912.66 μg/mL and 33.22 to 128.11 μg/mL, and standard drug ascorbic acid showed IC50 values 29.12 μg/mL and 69.13 μg/mL, respectively. Anti-inflammatory activity was investigated using the carrageenan-induced paw edema method, where percentage inhibition was up to 93.0 and 98.57 for 2 h and 4 h, respectively, and all the compounds were found to exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory activity. Moreover, prediction of activity spectra for substance and molecular docking were also performed. The PASS prediction hypothesized the potential of the compounds for anti-inflammatory activity, and docking results suggested the best binding pose for compounds 1b and 2b with the least energy value from which compounds can be considered as potent COX-2 inhibitors. Furthermore, possible interactions between hydroxytriazene analogues and the targets of antioxidant NADPH oxidase and antidiabetic human maltase-glucoamylase enzyme have been identified. The HOMO and LUMO analysis revealed charge transfer within the compounds. These findings suggested that the synthesized compounds can be potential agents for the treatment of diabetes and inflammation.

Abstract
Small molecular dyes are commonly used for bacterial imaging, but they still meet a bottleneck of biological toxicity and fluorescence photobleaching. Carbon dots have shown high potential for bio-imaging due to their low cost and negligible toxicity and anti-photobleaching. However, there is still large space to enhance the quantum yield of the carbon quantum dots and to clarify their mechanisms of bacterial imaging. Using carbon dots for dyeing alive bacteria is difficult because of the thick density and complicated structure of bacterial cell walls. In this work, both dead or alive bacterial cell imaging can be achieved using the primary amine functionalized carbon dots based on their small size, excellent quantum yield and primary amine functional groups. Four types of carbon quantum dots were prepared and estimated for the bacterial imaging. It was found that the spermine as one of precursors can obviously enhance the quantum yield of carbon dots, which showed a high quantum yield of 66.46% and high fluorescence bleaching-resistance (70% can be maintained upon 3-h-irradiation). Furthermore, a mild modifying method was employed to bound ethylenediamine on the surface of the spermine-carbon dots, which is favorable for staining not only the dead bacterial cells but also the alive ones. Investigations of physical structure and chemical groups indicated the existence of primary amine groups on the surface of spermine-carbon quantum dots (which own a much higher quantum yield) which can stain alive bacterial cells visibly. The imaging mechanism was studied in detail, which provides a preliminary reference for exploring efficient and environment-friendly carbon dots for bacterial imaging.

Abstract
Sulfonamide is a common motif in medicines and agrochemicals. Typically, this class of functional groups is prepared by reacting amines with sulfonyl chlorides that are presynthesized from nitro compounds and thiols, respectively. Here, we report a novel strategy that directly couples nitro compounds and thiols to form sulfonamides atom- and redox-economically. Mechanistic studies suggest our reaction proceeds via direct photoexcitation of nitroarenes that eventually transfers the oxygen atoms from the nitro group to the thiol unit.

Abstract
The development of novel methodologies for the introduction of the sulfoxonium group under mild conditions is appealing but remains underexplored. Herein we report the synthesis of a class of hypervalent iodine reagents with a transferrable sulfoxonium group. These compounds enable mixed iodonium-sulfoxonium ylide reactivity. These well-defined reagents are examined in visible-light-promoted cyclization reactions with a wide range of unsaturated bonds including alkenes, alkynes, nitriles, and allenes. Two distinct cyclization pathways are identified, which are controlled by the substituent of the unsaturated bond. The cycloaddition protocol features simple operation, mild reaction conditions, and excellent functional group tolerance, affording a broad range of sulfoxonium-containing cyclic structures in moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, the sufoxonium group in the product can be transformed into diverse functional groups and structural motifs via single electron transfer and transition-metal catalysis.

Abstract
A new series of sulfonamides, 8a-b, 10, 12, and 14a-b, were synthesized by N-sulfonation reaction with sulfonyl chlorides 6a-b. Five new series of chalcone-sulfonamide hybrids (16-20)a-f were prepared via Claisen–Schmidt condensation of the newly obtained sulfonamides with aromatic aldehydes 15a-f in basic medium. Chalcones substituted with chlorine at position 4 of each series were used as precursors for the generation of their five-membered heterocyclic pyrazoline (22-23)a-d, (24-25)a-b and carbothioamide 27a-f derivatives. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer and antituberculosis activities. To determine their anticancer activity, compounds were screened against sixty human cancer cell lines at a single dose (10 μM). Compounds 17a-c were highly active against LOX IMVI (melanoma), with IC50 values of 0.34, 0.73 and 0.54 μM, respectively. Chalcone 18e showed remarkable results against the entire panel of leukemia cell lines with IC50 values between 0.99–2.52 μM. Moreover, compounds 20e and 20f displayed growth inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv at concentrations below 10 μM. Although they showed low selectivity in cytotoxicity tests against the Vero cell line, further optimization could advance the potential biological activity of the selected compounds.

Abstract
Aziridines are readily available C(sp3) precursors that afford valuable β-functionalized amines upon ring opening. In this article, we report a Ni/photoredox methodology for C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-coupling between aziridines and methyl/1°/2° aliphatic alcohols activated as benzaldehyde dialkyl acetals. Orthogonal activation modes of each alkyl coupling partner facilitate cross-selectivity in the C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond-forming reaction: the benzaldehyde dialkyl acetal is activated via hydrogen atom abstraction and β-scission via a bromine radical (generated in situ from single-electron oxidation of bromide), whereas the aziridine is activated at the Ni center via reduction. We demonstrate that an Ni(II) azametallacycle, conventionally proposed in aziridine cross-coupling, is not an intermediate in the productive cross-coupling. Rather, stoichiometric organometallic and linear free energy relationship studies indicate that aziridine activation proceeds via Ni(I) oxidative addition, a previously unexplored elementary step.

Effects of Sulfamethoxazole on Fertilization and Embryo Development in the Arbacia lixula Sea Urchin. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12182483.

Abstract
Simple Summary Drugs released into the aquatic environment create serious problems for the organisms that live there. For this reason, the present study investigates the in vitro effects of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole, widely found in wastewater, on the fertilization and development of the Arbacia lixula sea urchin. The results showed a significant reduction in the percentage of fertilized oocytes at the highest drug concentrations, together with an increase in anomalies and delays in the development of the embryo. Therefore, the data obtained suggest urgent intervention on the release of these drugs in order to prevent important alterations in the species’ development and to preserve biodiversity. Abstract To date, drugs released into the aquatic environment are a real problem, and among antibiotics, sulfamethoxazole is the one most widely found in wastewater; thus, the evaluation of its toxicity on marine organisms is very important. This study, for the first time, investigates the in vitro effects of 4 concentrations of sulfamethoxazole (0.05 mg/L, 0.5 mg/L, 5 mg/L, 50 mg/L) on the fertilization and development of the sea urchin Arbacia lixula. The gametes were exposed to drugs in three different stages: simultaneously with, prior to, and post-fertilization. The results show a significant reduction in the percentage of fertilized oocytes at the highest drug concentrations. Moreover, an increase in anomalies and delays in embryo development following the treatment with the drug was demonstrated. Therefore, the data suggest that this antibiotic can alter the development of marine organisms, making it urgent to act to reduce their release and to determine the concentration range with the greatest impact.

Recent advance on pleiotropic cholinesterase inhibitors bearing amyloid modulation efficacy. Eur J Med Chem 2022; 242:114695.

Abstract
Due to the hugely important roles of neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) and amyloid-β (Aβ) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the development of multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs) focused on cholinesterase (ChE) and Aβ becomes one of the most attractive strategies for combating AD. To date, numerous preclinical studies toward multifunctional conjugates bearing ChE inhibition and anti-Aβ aggregation have been reported. Noteworthily, most of the reported multifunctional cholinesterase inhibitors are carbamate-based compounds due to the initial properties of carbamate moiety. However, because their easy hydrolysis in vivo and the instability of the compound-enzyme conjugate, the mechanism of action of these compounds is rare. Thus, non-carbamate compounds are of great need for developing novel cholinesterase inhibitors. Besides, given that Aβ accumulation begins to occur 10-15 years before AD onset, modulating Aβ is ineffective only in inhibiting its aggregation but not eliminate the already accumulated Aβ if treatment is started when the patient has been diagnosed as AD. Considering the limitation of current Aβ accumulation modulators in ameliorating cognitive deficits and ineffectiveness of ChE inhibitors in blocking disease progression, the development of a practically valuable strategy with multiple pharmaceutical properties including ChE inhibition and Aβ modulation for treating AD is indispensable. In this review, we focus on summarizing the scaffold characteristics of reported non-carbamate cholinesterase inhibitors with Aβ modulation since 2020, and understanding the ingenious multifunctional drug design ideas to accelerate the pace of obtaining more efficient anti-AD drugs in the future.

Abstract
Polycyclic hydrocarbons (PH) provide intriguing potential as lipophilic scaffolds within medicinal chemistry, but are currently limited by the availability of synthetic tools for predictable modification of the PH unit. Herein we report the development of new methods for installation of a sulfonamide unit to PH cores. In the first method, a xanthate ester serves as reagent for aminosulfonation using pre-formed imidoiodinane as N-source. An investigation of the reaction mechanism was performed to implicate a process involving a N-centered radical. An additional method for sulfonamide installation is described that involves the use of commercially available reagents and operationally convenient conditions. Using the new synthetic methods, 22 compounds were prepared and screened for biological activity against 6 mammalian cell lines along with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Results of the viability assays have identified compounds that exhibit higher potency than other known anticancer agents such as indisulam and ABT-751. Additionally, the physicochemical and drug-likeness properties of the synthesized compounds have been determined experimentally and using in silico predictive tools. The initial exploration into sulfonamide insertion into PH cores has resulted in a number of compounds that warrant further development to produce molecules with therapeutic value.
